So far as Love Island contestants go, Will Younger, aka. @farmerwill_, is way out of your typical islander. He isn’t a metropolis boy. He isn’t a footballer. Or a scaffolder. Or a monetary advisor. As his 1.4 million TikTok followers and three.4 million viewers of the famed ITV relationship present will know, he’s a fifth-generation Buckinghamshire farmer. And one that’s attuned to his emotions and feelings. And sure, typically he’s a bit clumsy and comes throughout as a little bit of a dork. He was friendzoned twice in his first week within the villa, prompting considerations about his future on the present and quite a lot of comparisons, however I am right here to inform you that you’ve Will the sheep farmer all improper: he may simply be Winter Love Island‘s GOAT. (See what I did there?)
Throughout his time within the South African villa thus far, Will has come throughout as relatively naive, innocent and pure: a great one nice man. (Nonetheless, PETA has a special opinion. And there’s one Which video allegedly displaying Will partying in Croatia with a bag of white powder that would jeopardize his future on the present…) However a part of that “good man” vibe is right down to his seems to be; his blond hair, rosy complexion, open face and eagerness to bop. (Which he typically does, in his personal goofy means, largely within the background.) His interactions together with his fellow islanders additionally appear fully honest. In any case, they’re overly enthusiastic. Consider the numerous occasions he is referred to varied conditions as “probably the most romantic” or “the most effective” but. However each Love Island followers worthy of their personalised water bottle will know that these qualities, whereas admirable and objectively cute, will not be a recipe for achievement within the villa. As we have established, Farmer Will was friendzoned twice throughout his first week alone: first by Olivia after they had been compelled collectively within the first pairing, after which by Lana, who had set her sights on Ron.
On Twitter, he’s typically in comparison with him within the #FarmerWill discourse series 7’s Hugo or series 4’s Dr. Alex. “We all know how this ends,” one Twitter person famous. Others have (accurately) identified that Farmer Will really is funnier, more sympatheticand, crucially, can actually talk to girls. It’s recognized that Dr. Alex and Hugo have turned down potential connections again and again, whereas Will merely waited for his match to enter the villa.
Cue Jessie, the Love Island Australia bomb. Judging by seems to be, you would not be alone in considering that Jessie is means out of Farmer Will’s class. I imagined she was on her strategy to Kai. And but she appears genuinely interested in Will. He pulled her in for a chat, and towards all odds, he crushed it. There was no (overt) awkwardness they usually bonded with rural life. She selected him (and Tom) for the picnic dates that appeared to foster their connection. The true icing on the cake? When she confesses within the seaside hut that she ‘forgets slightly bit'[s] that there is another person round” when she’s with Will. And he or she selected to kiss Will once more within the brutal astronaut problem. In fact, Will was over the moon. (Do you perceive?)
However we would be improper to categorize Will, goofy and friendzoned as he’s, as an underdog. The tales of Dr. Alex and Hugo stretched for weeks of their respective seasons, and with every disappointment, followers discovered themselves reconsidering their assist. With Jessie, Farmer Will has confirmed himself to be in a very completely different class: good man, likable, honest, slightly goofy, however lastly fortunately coupled up. Possibly it actually is so simple as two nation folks assembly and discovering frequent floor. Possibly we should always take into consideration what the remainder of the islanders can be like in the event that they had been positioned in his world, herding sheep and pigs and mucking them out day in and time out. Farmer Will is as assured and succesful in his world as all the opposite islanders are in theirs.
Certain, it is early, however I can see Will and Jessie make it to the finals, or at the least develop into one of many steady {couples} within the villa. (Let’s hope Jessie’s head would not get turned off at Casa Amor, or by some new islander… And no, I do not see Will turning into the villain of the season.) Farmer Will will just do high quality.
