What’s the Craic?

This episode may be the most unhinged yet, in our humble opinion, and we're finally seeing who's playing the game! Between the aftermath of Haris and Shaq and Olivia and Zara there's already so much to unpack! Like, what's going on with the love triangle between Tanya, Shaq, and David?  The recoupling had Christina and Brenna on the edges of their seats and the only happy moment this episode was Ron and Lana finally having a kiss because he was "clucking for one!" *swoon* 

It's like the wild, wild west out here baby, so buckle up! Zara is single handedly shaking up the villa and turning heads while David seemingly has eyes for one girl and one girl only. Our daddy of the season, Ron, seems to be confused and wanting to put a couple eggs in multiple baskets, but can we really blame him for playing the game? After all, dating is just asking yourself, "what are the most important boxes for me to be checked off by a partner?" The beer pong game wreaks havoc amongst our islanders and Christina and Brenna deep dive into all the drama.

It's the third episode of the series, and things are far from being settled in the villa. With two new bombshells entering, the possibility of heads turning is higher than ever. Quick debrief, Tanya and Shaq kiss finally (yay), Olivia is more physically attracted to Haris (weird), and Will is the islander we never knew we needed on this show. There's just something about a quiet confidence. Tanya and Ron go on dates with our new islanders David and Zara and we have A LOT of thoughts, some of them being: cheaper products are easier to get your hands on; if there's one thing we're gonna do, it's be upfront about our feelings; and to quote Tanyel, "if you don't rate yourself, how can you keep a man on his toes?" 

It's the second episode of our favorite series and things are already spicing up. Starting off strong with a truth or dare game, we are given some *chef's kiss* moments like Will licking Olivia's entire foot and Lana splitting her skirt while giving a lap dance. We watch Tom chat up all the girls and then inevitably make his decision on who to couple up with leaving one islander single and vulnerable. And don't worry, Christina and Brenna get into that Dirty Laundry game as well, where the islanders' secrets are spilled. Would you tell someone you're joining the army just to stop seeing them? 

We're back baby! And here at What's the Craic we have decided to completely skip over last season and take our time with this one because we are INTO it. It's the second winter season of Love Island and we're in South Africa with a brand new villa, host, and cast. In this episode Brenna and Christina deep dive into the new islanders, share their predications for what they thought the first coupling up would be, and ask the important question: do the British know what Bratz dolls are? And are you a chili pepper girl or a spicy margarita gal? 

AND...we're back...yet again! But this time, with a vengeance. It's the longest episode of What's the Craic yet, but potentially the juiciest. A new boy enters the villa and causes some havoc for one girl in particular. We're convinced Davide and Ekin-Su may have been made for one another after that game of Never Have I Ever, but some of us aren't too convinced about Dami and Amber. Also, does Ikenna need to step his game up when it comes to Indiyah? Brenna and Christina get into it - relating all that's happening on the island to their own lives. 

So much has happened in such a small amount of time. Some of us at What's the Craic started this season not on Team Andrew, but after this episode could it be, Give-Me-An-Andrew-2022? Tasha and Andrew seem to be headed in the right direction, while Luca seems to be planting all of his seeds to see where his garden will grow. We see our first islander leave the villa as well as the first official recoupling for the season. Don't worry, Christina and Brenna talk about it all in this episode, so stick around!

We're four episodes into this season and it's all a mess we can't wait to watch unfold. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the words Davide uses to try to describe Gemma and the different words men have used to describe them in the past. Luca's behavior is interesting, Tasha seems to be self-sabotaging, and Ekin-Su is on a mission to shake things up, arguably more so than any other islander in Love Island history. 

Things are starting to heat up as we see our first bombshell of the season steal an islander and leaving another one single in the process. In this episode, Christina and Brenna talk about how different this group of islanders behave in comparison to other seasons...it seems the boys (surprisingly) are more closed off than the girls and honestly, we're here for this group of empowered women. There's a big discussion on who is the snake in the grass, the importance of being funny, and our very first date in the villa! We're only left with thinking one thing though: we want more Indiyah on our screens! 

As always, the beginning of the series is a slow burner, but that doesn't stop the craic from flowing. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the potential love triangle with Luca at the forefront; the Italian stallion and who he decided to couple up with; what the islanders had to declare to one another in the first challenge of the series; and of course, all the tangents and antidotes that Brenna and Christina have to offer. 

Season 8 of our favorite dating show is now on our screens and we could not be more excited! This episode Christina and Brenna dive into this year's islanders and discuss the most controversial change this season has offered us so far...the public pairing up the islanders instead of letting them choose! Things have already started to get interesting and we cannot wait to see how the rest of this season will go...

Well....that's all, folks! We officially have our new winners of Love Island! This has been a crazy season with so many twists and turns. For the final episode of the season, Christina and Brenna talk all about those declarations of love and the final interviews our couples have with Laura. Side note, if you didn't cry at Faye and Teddy's speeches to one another then you have no emotions. Thank you so much for listening along all season...we can't wait for next summer!

It's family day people and the return of Brenna's Astrology Corner in a BIG way! As we come to the close this season, Christina and Brenna give their thoughts on our islander's families and make their predictions for the final. They even throw the islanders their own little graduation ceremony at the end of the episode, so listen along to hear what they have to say! 

Yay! More dates! We watched Millie and Liam go on their final date and wow, was that romantic or what?! And they finally said those three words to one another! Swoon. While the majority of the final couples are becoming stronger, we see the fallout from Jake and Liberty and honestly, good for you, girl. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about it all and also the importance of putting yourself before a man who's not showing up for you. We only have two episodes left, so be sure to stick around to hear all the craic!

Our couples are being sent on their final dates and we love to see it! Who had the better date so far? Faye & Teddy or Kaz & Tyler? One thing we don't love to see though is Liberty crying. If you hurt our girl, you hurt us! While discussing this episode, we are given more dating advice from the ladies who may not be completely qualified to dish it out...maybe. Jake and Liberty may be on the rocks, but we'll leave you with one sentiment: anybody who makes you feel like you're not enough - get out of there. 

We're getting down to the wire, so it's all just banter at this point, ladies and gents! And....on that note....THE BABIES ARE BACK! Christina and Brenna heavily discuss all things baby related - and maybe a little too much. While they may go off on tangents, one thing we can be certain of, Teddy is proving to be the perfect specimen once again. 

As much as we love the drama, at this point it seems a bit unnecessary. Of course Christina and Brenna will still talk about it, though. This episode starts out on a low with the results of the islanders' votes, but then goes to a high with the talent show! This was one of the messiest talent shows to ever grace our screens and honestly, we  felt transported back to middle school with some of the performances. With another dumping on the horizon, we genuinely don't know who's going home...

For the first ever time on the podcast we have a guest! Yay! We also start things off by taking another Love Island quiz in real time! Everyone is avoiding everyone in the villa right now, things are tense and the results of the votes are definitely going to cause some upset. Listen along to hear what our Love Island queens have to say about it. 

We're given a lot in this episode actually. There's so much sharing of perspectives and people respectfully hearing others opinions and don't worry because Christina and Brenna discuss it all. There are just two questions remaining after watching...Do you know anyone who doesn’t like pasta?! AND, do YOU know what asparagus is? 

This is the moment Brenna has been waiting for all season. As Jake confesses his feelings for Liberty, some of the other islanders begin questioning his true intentions. We may not know where their relationship is headed, but we are certain that another couple in particular are falling for one another. Listen along as Christina and Brenna talk about this episode and dive into the challenge where our islanders get a little insight to what the viewers have been thinking.
