There's another video of Samara walking away, thinking they had just finished taking the photos lol—they all look gorgeous!!

From what I’ve seen online the three of them honestly seem a lot closer now than they did when there were four members. Their chemistry feels more natural, and their lives don’t come across as awkward anymore. When Lexi was still in the group, it often felt like she didn’t really make much of an effort to interact with Sakura, which probably didn’t help the group’s dynamic at all
I also think the age difference played a role. Lexi was in her early 20s while Sakura was much younger, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t naturally click. Even so, it never really seemed like there was much of an attempt to build that relationship. Now, the bond between the remaining three just feels more genuine, and they seem a lot more comfortable around each other

The amount of hate some of these Love Island contestants are getting is honestly too much.
I don’t have to agree with everything Sol said or did, but I also don’t think people have really explained why she’s getting this level of hate. A lot of it feels like people are just assuming her intentions instead of reacting to what she actually said. It’s fine to disagree with someone, but there’s a big difference between that and nonstop harassment.
From what I saw, she also seemed pretty isolated in the villa because of everything going on with Sincere, Melanie, and everyone else. And since reality TV is so heavily edited, I don’t actually know the full story anyway.
If I don’t like someone, I’m not going to sit there and flood their comments with hate. I’d rather just move on. Constantly attacking people online doesn’t do anything useful.
Seeing Sol upset on live was honestly sad. These are real people, and I’ve seen time and time again how online hate can really mess with someone’s mental health. A lot of people don’t think about the effect their words have until it’s already done.
Same with Titi. She and the other girls already made up after their argument, but people are still dragging her for it. I can have an opinion without turning everything into a hate train.
I don’t have to like every contestant, but I also don’t need to bully them.

Why I think Saint Satine is going to flop.

Everything that could've gone wrong has gone wrong. First they added Sakura to a lineup that was already established. Then there was that survival show that, in my opinion, was completely rigged and ended up debuting one of the weakest contestants over so many girls who were more talented. After that came the weak vocals, the fake friendships, and now they've already lost a member.

The craziest part is they added Sakura just for Lexie to leave, so the group went from three members to four and is now right back to three. That's a terrible look for a rookie group.

They've released two songs and have only performed together once, and that performance was on the survival show. They still haven't had a proper debut era, and they're already dealing with lineup changes.

On top of that, they lost their biggest star. Lexie was the face of the group and easily the member who got the most attention. She had the most star power, and without her the lineup feels significantly weaker.

Now the group consists of a strong dancer who's not the strongest singer, a good singer who's an average dancer, and a 15 year old Japanese member who, in my opinion, doesn't really stand out outside of dancing. It honestly feels like Sakura was added more to appeal to a Japanese fanbase than because she was the strongest possible addition.

At this point they've had survival show controversy, lineup changes, criticism over the vocals, and they've lost their most recognizable member before they've even had a real debut rollout. I just don't see this group taking off the way people expected.

She generally looks so much different

no shade but she brings nothing to the group

Manon’s been on hiatus for four months and Katseyes girls or company still can’t give a straight answer if she’s even in the group anymore. They’ve dropped two songs without her, and in the newest one, it was a HYBE collab where other groups literally include the voices of members on hiatus but nope katseyes can’t even say her name at all , Sophia gets asked if Manon’s coming back and all she can manage is “she’s on hiatus, she loves the fans” like… thanks for nothing, queen. We don’t need her life story, we just want to know if she’s a member or if the group’s now a five-girl project with a ghost member it’s wild that other HYBE groups can acknowledge members on hiatus but katseye can’t even tiptoe around the topic without producing vague corporate mumbo jumbo. Not a peep. It’s like Manon vanished into a katseye shaped void and the girls are all pretending she doesn’t exist
