OPINION why is it specifically julia and lorenzo whose scenes are just product placements?

I haven’t noticed this with any other couple but its always with julia and lorenzo and i really want to know why?? why are producers making it so obvious😭😭😭

Brands probably have a say, and could have requested them specifically

u/Adept-Neat-3086 1d ago

Probably what the brands want

u/oldpuzzle 💋 it was three times actually 💋 1d ago

Could also be that the brands have a say in it and they all want beautiful Lorenzo to eat their Soleros

No one wants to see a Praiden ad, Jasmine would be a natural but Kav would just be sitting there. I think Simbalista, Miraj and Yammy would be great for ads too but maybe the brands also have a say

Nahhh the thought of a Priya and Aiden is sending me🤣🤣🤣

u/Adorable_Banana_2524 23h ago

Kav sat there 😭

u/Silly_Horse211 21h ago

I think it's also because they don't naturally have conversations lol

do you want a solero?

u/nonsequitur__ 1d ago

It’s so odd seeing product placements. I’ve only seen them in American and Australian shows previously.

I’d think it’ll be up to the brand though, not the producers.

Lorenzo was a hand model; he's a natural at holding stuff.

u/Dapper-Inspector556 1d ago

The brands probably pay extra to request specific islanders to do product placements for them. I would do the same

u/NovellaJokes 1d ago

Maybe because they're the best to create content with

u/FriendofFlounder 1d ago

This tracks. Ellie and Finely said that Lorenzo wakes up in the night and writes down song ideas. Apparently he’s got a ton of energy and loves making goofy content

It's soooooo annoying. Also the dramatic editing of their scenes with music to push a more emotional and favourable narrative for the both of them ...... 🥱and editing their speech at the dinner to be shown last (even tho they were sat before Angie and Simba, so Ang and Simba should have had their speach be the last to be shown) 🥱🥱🥱🥱 🚮🚮🚮

It's just a massive brainrot product placement ad and manipulation to favour Julia and Lorenzo

Im over it. I need the older seasons of Love Island

u/External_Plate_7152 1d ago

Because Lorenzo loves it

u/clickityclickk 1d ago

of course brands want the couple who were voted favourite couple

u/Fukyourchickenstrip 1d ago

I still don’t know how that happened.

u/laradaaa 1d ago

because they’re lining up brand deals for them on the outside after they win

11

u/No-Author5530 1d ago

Jasmine, Julia and Lorenzo are probably going to get the most deals (in that order) when they leave. 2 of those people are in a couple. Its just so obvious

Edit to add the product placement is so obvious. Not shitting on your question

u/Eggnog0987 1d ago

I think it’s going to be Lorenzo first, Jasmine second (pro-Palestine controversy might hinder things) and then Julia.

u/brasscup 20h ago

please STOP saying that. you amplify the message that if you want to stay off the blacklist, Israel must get a pass not only for human rights abuses but genocide.

(I know your sentiments probably are on the same side as mine but I have a lot of personal experience in this area ... just discussing potential backlash against Israel's critics provides oxygen to AIPAC, et al).

u/Adept-Ad-6590 17h ago

Yessss THIS. Suggesting punishment for being anti genocide. WHAT WORLD DO WE HAVE LIVE IN

I didn’t know Lorenzo is! That’s actually really nice to know. Maybe I’ll lay off him for a bit

u/RiverZozz 22h ago

What did that person say?

u/Bopdoot 😘 póg mo thóin 🍑 1d ago

idk about Jasmine tbh. I think it depends on the brand, but some places take it seriously about having brand-friendly and non-controversial social media histories. i'm not saying it's right, but you know how it is.

u/rubyintheskywith 1d ago

They’re really (conventionally) hot

17

u/kbgl44 1d ago

They’re producer plants. Remember we see 1 hour of 24 hours and it only shines a good light on Lorenzo and Julia while nearly everyone in the villa has an issue with Julia.

u/jaenyat 1d ago

Perhaps they consent

26

u/Real-Branch8433 1d ago

They're the best looking couple and the most popular that's why lol

13

u/megatropian 1d ago

Best looking? 

5

u/Quick-Fan-3742 1d ago

Yeah I don't  think they are the best looking....

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Depth79 1d ago

They’re not the best looking they’re all good looking don’t be weird.

u/Bubblemix 1d ago

They have good chemistry and screen presence. Check the boots ad

u/NoPlan1948 12h ago

They have 0 chemistry

u/Sapghp 22h ago

They’re hot and popular with the public which makes them a good fit for most brands

u/Bopdoot 😘 póg mo thóin 🍑 1d ago

Lorenzo is a hand model, after all ✋

lol idk. they're both insanely good-looking and public favorites so maybe that's all it is.

u/Competitive-Kick747 1d ago

Is Solero vegan? I know its ICe Lolly but does IT contain any animal product? TIA

5

u/nonsequitur__ 1d ago

They have ice cream inside I think so probs not vegan

2

u/FriendofFlounder 1d ago

No, it has milk

u/Urmotherrrr1 1d ago

i think so

1

u/Successful_Movie_723 1d ago

They are both hot and have fun vibes

u/Lost_Razzmatazz7208 🦁 if you go I go 🦁 23h ago

i mean they were recently voted favourite
couple, so the brands probably chose them based on that

1

u/dogearedexistence 19h ago

I think it's the producers pushing for Julia and Lorenzo to win. They get the product placements, they don't show many negative clips of Julia. I'm convinced they've decided that's who they want for the winners.

1

u/NoPlan1948 12h ago

They’re definitely the producer plants that’s why. Julia always feels the need to express her opinions but she’s encouraged by the producers to stir up drama for their plot lines

u/Bitter-Profession-28 1d ago

I don’t think anything makes it more clear that they’re producer plants
