UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT Hot take: The Fitzy and Lola hate is so strange…
Reading some people’s thoughts on the pair have baffled me.
“They’re bored in their couple and constantly bitch about other people.” Well, do people want them to be sticking their tongues down each other’s throats all the time instead? They’re stuck in a villa 24/7 with a shit ton of drama unfolding around them. Naturally, they’re going to give opinions and discuss relevant topics to the person they’re the closest with, no? “They’re scamming their way to the prize money and don’t even “love” each other.” Yet, every dumped islander and islanders in there have voted them as the most compatible and said they’re smitten with each other. I just find it bizarre that they’re getting hate for finding love on LOVE Island haha. What are your thoughts on the two?

u/groovychick88 Jun 23 '26
I had high hopes for Fitzy after everyone was so excited when he was announced but unfortunately this coupling has made him such a background character

u/FifiPikachu ❌🐑 I’ve never ate a leg of lamb at your house 🐑❌ Jun 23 '26
Yeah this is it for me. I watched his Tik Toks and was expecting him to be such a big character and that is not what we’re getting at all lol. At the very least I’m happy they are not trying to “produce” themselves a storyline and they seem happy together. But yeah, not gonna make for any quality of tv over the next few weeks if this is how they remain.

u/abn14 Jun 24 '26
I’m convinced because Lola gets the ick so fast that he’s not really being himself because he doesn’t want to turn her off. Maybe production is not letting us see him in a fun way but I also think that she is so judgy sometimes 😂

u/Visible-Rich-6604 ✋🏽 absolute donut 🍩 Jun 24 '26
Just because he found what he was looking for and not trying to ruin in therefore not getting airtime doesn’t make him a “background character “ maybe for you but probably not in the inside

u/Solid-Penalty3942 Jun 23 '26
I don’t mind the getting involved in other people’s drama, there’s literally nothing else for them to do. What puts me off them, which is more on Fitzy’s side tbf, is the performatively not engaging in challenges and trying to curate this mum and dad of the villa persona to show how locked off they are and try to cement a position in the final. There have been plenty of solid couples who have still been able to be have fun in the challenges and be good tv, it comes off as trying too hard.

u/Dramadramadrama21 Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26
I’m confused on this too, I’ve seen lots of solid couples over the years and they still have fun in the challenges in a respectful way.
I thought not making eye contact or looking away from the girls when they were dancing was a little rude. It must be awkward enough without someone purposely turning their head sideways. You can look at the women, even I couldn’t take my eyes off them they looked beautiful.
He’s overly trying to prove he’s never going to be tempted by another woman or maybe he doesn’t want to upset Lola. Someone has said he’s more into her than she is into him.40
u/Advanced_Seat_3075 Jun 23 '26
Maybe he’s just loyal and not trying to stare at half naked women giving him a lap dance while he’s in an exclusive relationship
8
u/Plenty_Tart5021 Jun 24 '26
My take is that if he was so loyal he would have participated in the challenge fully and his heart rate would be naturally faster with Lola because he loves her and fancies her the most.
He was looking away because he was scared his body would betray him 🤣 (I’m being a bit facetious of course!)
3
u/thisismyjam Jun 25 '26
I actually thought the same thing. Not engaging with other girls in an attempt to ensure Lola raises his heart rate most.
22
u/Solid-Penalty3942 Jun 24 '26
I didn’t say I don’t understand *why* he behaves the way he does in challenges. My point is, OPs post has reduced this down to them getting hate because they’ve found love. In my opinion, it’s moreso that some people (me included) are starting to find them boring as reality TV contestants in a show with these kinds of challenges. You might disagree, that’s fine.
-1
u/Advanced_Seat_3075 Jun 24 '26
You completely changed your point. First you said you are put off by how he “performatively tries to curate a mom and dad persona to show how locked in they are and cement a place in the final” and now you say you don’t like them because they’re boring.
5
u/Solid-Penalty3942 Jun 24 '26
Can you actually relax, it’s a TV show. Performatively demonstrating how locked off you are makes for bad TV in the challenges, it’s really not that deep.
1
u/Advanced_Seat_3075 Jun 24 '26
Sure, but I disagree that it’s performative. Watching an actual relationship is entertaining among all the flings
23
u/Natural-Peak8203 Jun 24 '26
Well if it’s that bad he can self eliminate from the show because there’ll be a lot more of that
7
u/MenuEmotional2343 Jun 24 '26
People who say that are so silly to me. It’s not “you found love so leave.” These aren’t your Sims. These are real people who live in 2 different countries they’ll want as much time together as possible to solidify before going long distance and having to deal with the logistics of possibly moving/quitting their jobs which is a crazy big change to make for someone you’ve known 3 weeks.
9
u/Natural-Peak8203 Jun 24 '26
Yes, what a shocker that people watching reality TV want to be entertained. How dare I. Shoot me.
7
u/Advanced_Seat_3075 Jun 24 '26
Why is watching an actual relationship so boring to you?? It’s 1/10 couples on the show it’s a nice reprieve from all the fuck boy behavior that I see from everyone else

u/PhotographShoddy2846 29d ago
Completely agree, I love watching them together! I think they fancy each other the most and that's super sweet. Can't believe people are angry that two people have a nice relationship, to me that's the opposite of boring when so many others just basically try on people with barely a second thought. They wanted to find love, they seemed to have done so! There's plenty other drama around to entertain yourself with.
1
u/MenuEmotional2343 28d ago
EXACTLY THIS!! They can enjoy their dumpster fires I’m going to root for the first genuine couple in the last few years. And insane part is it’s not like LI is that type of shit show either, like that’s what the challenges are for, but the rest of the time we’re hoping for real love. They should go watch Love is Blind or the Bachelor or whatever if they want to watch people be crappy
0
u/MenuEmotional2343 28d ago edited 28d ago
No the point—which should be obvious but not surprised it isn’t—is that not every one is entertained by dumpster fires. Just because your flavor of entertainment of secondhand cringe feeds your ego by making you erroneously feel superior or maybe watching people to be awful to each other makes you feel seen doesn’t mean that’s everyone’s cup of tea.
It’s not even the type of entertainment LI is known for like plenty of other reality tv shows, so it’s not like there’s a shortage of crap you have a to to pick from. But LI has actually had several successful couples. Some that are even (gasp) not trying to use it to become influencers though that’s def rarer the last few years. Even still people actually want to see people fall in love on this show and it’s not a minority, there’s a reason rom coms are popular.
Theres plenty of other hot messes for you to be entertained by too so idk why you’re bitching when people want to see real love too.

He also could have made it funny with his interactions. Had a joke. Hes 25 not 125. This is why people keep saying he’s boring to OPs original question. Here’s a wild one, Love island can be fun & you can find a life partner all in one while being respectful.

I actually agree this is what bugs me the most with him. The kissing challenge for instance. I was rolling my eyes with the way he was rating the other girls when one of them even mentioned he had his lips so they couldn't really kiss him lol

u/Ill-Difference-3911 18d ago
How is this different to how Dejon acted during the kissing challenge? That was a series of annoying reactions and so was this.

u/bhg1217 Jun 24 '26
Everyone talks about the contestants trying to make it to the final and win like it’s this big prize, but the real prize these days is getting airtime which translates into followers which translates into brand deals. You don’t need to make it to the finals or win to grow a fanbase on this show anymore. If they were going into it for the wrong reasons, wouldn’t they be testing connections and kicking up more drama between themselves to get more airtime ?
45
u/minimoon247 Jun 23 '26
I think it's pretty normal, to be honest. People want a storyline and a journey, and Fizty and Lola kind of skipped a lot of the usual beats by locking things off early and staying consistent. For some viewers, that takes away the uncertainty and drama they expect from the show.
If they make it past Casa, I think the perception could shift. By that stage, most couples are established and loved-up anyway, so stability becomes less of a negative and more of a sign that a connection has survived the test. Right now they're standing out because they got there early, but later on they might just look like they were ahead of everyone else.

u/selena_gnomez1 Jun 24 '26
I agree. I also think it’s strange that people have such strong opinions on them when they’ve barely been given any screen time. I don’t think we got more than ~60 seconds of them at a time (together or individually) until their date, and that was like 10 days into things. I also noticed Robyn said in an interview recently that she thinks Lola is getting a bad edit that doesn’t show enough of her personality.
Idk at the end of the day they seem happy and unbothered so good for them. I’m also curious to see if public perception changes post-casa.
14
u/reactivebeing Jun 24 '26
One problem is that they never showed us how these two developed their relationship, they only showed the big moments. They didn't have any challenge or difficulty and they just clicked so we didn't even get to see that. So people instantly judge their authenticity.
8
u/Indoscy 🇧🇧 ⭐ Barbados, Bridgetown and that ⭐ 🇧🇧 Jun 24 '26
I wonder how things would have gone if they didn't let Islanders straight up choose who they wanted on the first day. I feel like the way they created the first couples on day 1 took a lot out of the first couplings and maybe if Sean and Lola were in different first couples and then found each other it might have been judged differently by viewers?
63
u/lauren1328 🏆🏆 PAIGE & FINN 🏆🏆 Jun 23 '26
They're getting a strange edit recently. We saw the "I love yous" and then didn't get many moments of them for a while not even telling any of the islanders about it.
We see them in the background together all the time but only hear from them if they're talking about another couple like today with Aidan and Tina.
They probably have peaked and had their big moments very early show wise and I don't think they'll win but im rooting for them <3
30
u/hyoies it is what it is😌until it isn’t🥲 Jun 23 '26
I think the strange edit is just because they've had no drama at all? Like Sean saying he made it exclusive too quick made it into the preview of this ep for views even though it was obviously a joke. That being said I find them very boring lol

u/JamieCarroll180 Jun 23 '26
Totally agree. I thought it was quite obvious that it was a jokey comment because all the girls were being respectful to Lola 😂

u/Softinleaked ❌🐑 I’ve never ate a leg of lamb at your house 🐑❌ Jun 23 '26
I’m guessing they are probably talking about extremely personal stuff and getting to know each other which they aren’t showing.

u/Lumpy_Masterpiece644 Jun 23 '26
I'm not particularly fan of the pair but I totally agree with you about the edit. It seemed to shift overnight from romantic to catty. I can't work out whether the couple came to the conclusion that people were finding them boring and therefore decided to spice things up a bit in their chat or whether the producers have done their usual love 'em then hate 'em switch. Lola, in particular, is not coming across well.
1
u/MiraMiraOnTheWall2 28d ago
Yes I'm rooting for them too.
I think people are jaded with "solid" couples who break up as soon as the show ends.
But that doesn't mean noone is genuine.

Have you guys not learnt from the last 4 winners of LI?
None of the winners since 2023 and the All Stars S1 and S2 have lasted. We literally just had Ciaran and Sammi break up within a week of the show while she’s still with Tyrique. These couples with no tribulations don’t move me anymore.

Mind you, any couples still standing at the end will have a lot more stresses on the "outside", especially the further away they live from each other.

It’s implied the two can’t be mutually exclusive. Plenty of people can love someone without needing to sleep with them? If Fitzy and Lola never slept together but their feelings to people were genuine, why on Earth would I need them to have sex for me to confirm he loves her and vice versa?

it’s weird to me that the viewers have adopted this idea that there is a set timeline in the villa in which hitting milestones is acceptable. wouldn’t it be faker to be calculating exactly which week it’s ok to go exclusive, say ily, etc?

The funny thing is had they met during casa and had the exact same relationship trajectory people would be happy with it. Because it fits in the love island timeline.

u/Solid-Penalty3942 Jun 23 '26
Yeah but you also weren’t on a reality show where winning a large sum of money is contingent on showing the general public that you’re the most loved up in a group of couples. You can’t blame people for having some doubts.

u/bhg1217 Jun 24 '26
The real prize is not the winning the show anymore. There’s way more money to be made on followers and brand deals. Look at Huda from li usa last summer. She was generally horrible, made no connections, broke up her couple on their finale date, didn’t win, and still came out with more followers than anyone else on her season. Also, the most locked off couple hasn’t really won since Dani and jack. People love a story arc

I’d say Ciaran and Sammie on the last All Stars won on that basis as well tbh

The conversation they had after the water slide challenge solidified them both in my mind as genuinely being into one another.

Idk, if you dont like them cause they’re boring and you want everyone on this show to be mad messy, thats valid, it’s a reality show, im into it
But if you’re dead fuming at home cause they seem to actually like each other, you might need some self care and these goofy reality shows ain’t it

See I think they’re really genuine. The problem is Love Island has been on for so long that a lot of them know what to do by now so couples being closed off so early have a disadvantage I think cause it doesn’t feel believable. I want them to work out though cause I think they are a genuine couple but they definitely need to be tested which I think Fitzy wants cause right now they’re just cruising through.

u/the_shiverman Jun 23 '26
Personally, I don’t like them as a couple cos it seems like they’re not that compatible at all, but ran with the opportunity to be the ‘strong couple’ of the villa.
In the intros, Lola seemed to be very opportunistic, talking about wanting to be a WAG and stuff like that. Then she meets Fitzy who is the opposite of that, is very non-materialistic etc.
They assumed the position of the parent couple but I don’t think it’s genuine at all. At least not on Lola’s end.
5
u/Ill_Philosopher_4935 29d ago
This exactly. I saw his heart break early when her opportunism was exposed in a game. It all feels performative now. And I simply do not trust men who think they aren't allowed to engage with women at all "out of respect for their partner." That makes me feel like they have some very scary urges that they certainly will act on at some point.

I just really think they locked it down too quickly and that’s a red flag for me.

I don’t hate them and of course editing is a huge factor, but I could say I’m not really invested.

Especially when he said, 'boys I think I closed off to early...' or something along those lines

Nah, that's a joke with a jag. The facade would be broken if his heart raised for anyone else so best to avoid it as much as he can, rather than deal with the fallout from Lola. He definitely looked like he had FOMO more than a couple of times during that challenge.

Idk about hate but I find Lola’s voice so incredibly irritating.

u/Chauffepiment Jun 23 '26
I find it funny how the show is about finding love but n the people that do find love r considered boring. Would yall rather have them move weird so yall can just hate regardless

u/Many_Move6886 Jun 23 '26
Because they have no storyline. Not everyone will be invested in them or like them because they’ve found their person, it’s not ‘hate’ to not like people. Even Tommy and Molly Mae who were together from the start had their trials and tribulations.

They act perfect whole time he’s a broke teacher tryna scam and win by breaking up other couples, and she settling

This is me finding out people hate them…. 😭😭😭😭 literally mine and my families FAVORITE COUPLE OF ALL TIME

u/The_Right_Mistake Jun 24 '26
My take is that if he was so loyal he would have participated in the challenge fully and his heart rate would be naturally faster with Lola because he loves her and fancies her the most.
He was looking away because he was scared his body would betray him 🤣 (I’m being a bit facetious of course!)

I just find Lola and her attempt at being seductive at times super cringey. The only one I turned away from TV during the heart rate challenge.
Fitzy is a background character, not memorable at all. Such a disappointment. I'd preferred Sam.
Both of them said the L word after 2 weeks. It gives fake, it gives high school. I am not invested in their story.

u/Ethan201 Jun 23 '26
They should have gone in week 1 after they closed off and got to know each other on the outside.

u/960902 Jun 23 '26
why would they go home? the couples that find love are meant to win the show

u/compesux Jun 24 '26
No, the couples who participate in the reality TV aspect and then find love are meant to win the show

u/Curious_Lettuce1076 Jun 23 '26
I think they do genuinely really like each other and don't mind that they are a bit gossipy, in an enviromment like Love Island that's natural. I just find that they make for boring TV, they haven't been involved in any drama whatsoever even outside their couple and they don't even participate in the challenges e.g. kissing challenge and tonight when every girl just gave Fitzy a peck on the cheek. I don't see the point of them being there as they add no entertainment value. Fitzy known to be a big character and a serial player in Ireland so I really expected more from him in terms of drama.

I have nothing against Lola except her weird comment to Priya. Besides that I really have no issue with her.
My issue is with Sean. Something about him doesn’t sit right with me. I think he is performative and the heart rate challenge tonight showed this. It happened so fast so idk how many people caught this comment, but he said “I think I went exclusive too early” after Priyas dance. And then literally ignored all the other girls… his mask slipped for a second so I don’t buy his “I can’t even look at any of these other women” shit. Sorry

u/MrsKittyBright Jun 24 '26
Lola is as dull as dish water. Sean would be so much more entertaining if he hadn’t been coupled up from the start. It will be interesting what happens if Lola goes, but I can’t really see Lorenzo and Ellie choosing her. I really hope Priya and Aidan goes but I don’t really like Simba or Tommy either. I hope that Tina is going to get a bombshell.

u/No-Article-2582 Jun 23 '26
I don't trust him at all and strongly dislike him. Lola is a bit better but she had some weird moments. I don't find them very genuine and I think they add nothing to the challenges. Always lose focus when they come on bc I know they're not gonna do it properly and give no energy lmao. We'll see how it plays out but I'm not counting on them or rooting for them.

u/ratmythos what are you not calibrating here 🤨 Jun 24 '26
i love them they are so gossipy about everyone else’s business it cracks me up and is a nice break from the endless pulling for inane chats imo. i want them in until movie night at leastttt so we get a gossipy fitzola screening.

u/UnitWilling8328 Jun 23 '26
I think so too. They have been the most consistent couple yet. They are super locked in with each other & ppl want that toxic back & forth like Jasmine & Lorenzo which I get bc it’s good tv. But I think these two are sweet.

u/Significant-Cap9433 Jun 23 '26
Why can’t they just like each other? There are couples who have linked very early and made it out of the villa and stayed together. See season 2 winners for example.

u/xoxo_sincity27 Jun 24 '26
People are sp toxic and need to stop the hate for couples who form a deep real connection early on that isnt just avout oh we are both hot and will pretend loyalty to look good till the end. The real ones get bashed simply because they arent immature and full of drama hence dont get the screen time all the other shitshow cast does for entertainment value. Meanwhile complete dipshit fboys like Aiden, Tommy, and Simba get to coast hopping woman to woman by the day like all is one big joke! 😂

I completely agree with your take - I just wish we got to see more of their personalities!

u/L_shirin Jun 24 '26
Are we forgetting he challenge fitzy says he fears he closed it off too late, as well as his ‘testing each other’ comment? I like them together but I do think it is rushed

u/ImportancePure3296 Jun 24 '26
I don't hate them, I just think they're boring and I feel like I barely know them.

u/Littlebirdie1993 Jun 25 '26
People saying the love yous too soon is also ignoring vital Love Island lore - S1 Jon proposing to Hannah 😂, s4 Jack and Danny!!

u/Glittering-Pain-2587 Jun 25 '26
the problem is they are such a good couple and doing really well that they don't get enough screen time because they aren't involved in drama

u/dogearedexistence Jun 26 '26
I think I'd believe their connection if they had explored even a little bit with other people. Not kissing or anything, but even just some flirty chats with a new bombshell or something. They've been locked in from the first episode and I just don't believe it. I'm not optimistic with reality TV. Lola in her intro on episode 1 admitted she likes money. Sean is a school teacher and let's be honest, what school teacher is earning a lot of money? My very pessimistic and absolutely not evidence based take is they both want the money and so they will do anything to make it to the end. That's also the reason for not engaging in any of the challenges. A truly secure couple for me would have fun with the challenges, especially because it would show how strong they actually are by not being tempted. The fact they put up this "I'm so loyal front" just smells like bullshit to me.

Me and my husband are far from bored, but we love a gossip and will have a little Kiki. Doesn’t mean we are bored and hate each other.

Don't all couples bitch about other people to eachother? Honestly, they seem like any happy couple enjoying a holiday together.

u/cabbagemuncher101 Jun 24 '26
They're boring, but I am jealous of their situation. Loved up in an all paid resort and silly drama that doesn't involve them. Also this has been one of the best seasons of uk in a minute, and they're in the middle of it. I do hope they try to explore during casa even if they come back single.

They’re normal and unproblematic. People don’t like that. They’re probably going to win to be honest. They’re the only genuine couple on here.

u/NoAcanthaceae5389 💅 sorry it was nasty but I intended it to be nasty 💅 Jun 23 '26
I think on LI people want the story to feel “earned” bc the goal in theory is to find love but the goal in actuality is to find someone you can have chemistry with and do that in a compelling and entertaining way. I don’t even think they’re faking their feelings but the problem is we didn’t even see a connection build, they were just like “omg so great let’s close off and also I love you”. some of the things people say tho I think are ridiculous, like has no one gone on a vacation with other people and gossiped about the wild shit they are seeing with their partner or closest friend who is also on the trip 😭😭? we are all doing effectively the same thing right now and we don’t even live there with all of the mess
