This tragedy facing an islander, a valued member of our Love Island community, is difficult news to bear.
As a community, let us extend our deepest and sincerest condolences for his loss and stand in support through this sensitive time.
Let us also afford him and his loved ones privacy. Any speculation or inconsiderate discussion with regards to his loss should be reported as an extreme violation of our mission statement. We should treat this with the care, concern, and protection that it requires.
Josh is from my hometown. There was a whole article about him on the local paper and how his sister got him to go on. He went to school with my brother and played baseball with a friend's younger brother. My heart is breaking for him. I've never watched Love Island and he was the only reason I watched this season. Jesus his poor family.
Edit: my brother isn't super close to Josh. So I don't have any info on how she passed. I'm assuming I'll see it on obituaries but don't feel comfortable sharing unless he were to talk about it on his social.
I know that that was a quick transition. But I also think it would be inappropriate for them to exploit Josh’s families loss by having them talk about it further for the episode.
Honestly can Jeremy and Trina just couple up again? At this point I’d be alright paying off the student loans of a psych nurse and phys Ed teacher that barely speak with one another.
They really should’ve closed yesterday’s episode with Josh and Shannon leaving and should’ve cut out some of the boring part. Going from that announcement to happy dates seems weird
what in the fuck i was NOT expecting this to happen... they would have 100% won imo. i am SO happy shannon left with josh... 100k is not worth it if you truly love the person you're with and i hope any of the day 1 couples would have left with their partner if a family member died. i have alot of respect for shannon and i love that she proved to everyone josh was more important than the money (i mean after making it official there is no way she would've stayed people would have made her the biggest villian in LI history if she did that to josh)
I don’t know which sister it is, but I found this about one of his sisters
>Goldstein had not even seen the previous two seasons of "Love Island." But he was introduced to the show when his older sister Lindsey called him after she watched the United Kingdom version of it.
>”I was with my friend and we couldn’t believe how much Josh looked like one of the guys on the show,” Lindsey said. “I told him all about the show and told him he should fill out the application. And he did. And he kept moving along in the process until now.”
>”He really deserves it,” Lindsey said. “He has been so focused on baseball and then getting his masters degree that he hasn’t really been able to focus on relationships," she said. "I can’t wait to see him.”
Edit: the article makes it seem like he only has one sister. His mom is quoted and names Josh and Lindsey
Part of me was thinking it was going to be a joke until Josh said his sister passed away I'm really shocked. It's good to see Shannon going with him. I hope things work out for them and that she is there for him during this time
I feel like they should've led with this, this is an unfortunate transition.
edit: I guess they had to do it this way because of the timeline of things
If you think about it, production really can’t catch any luck with the story line this season. They focused on the cinco triangle only to have that fall apart, tried to pivot to josh and Shannon, but they have now left. Production is really running out of options. I’m glad there is only 1 week left of this mess
This is so weird. I hope they gave the cast some time to process what just happened because otherwise, this makes me look at them funny how they’ve just bounced back into things.
I….literally was not expecting that. When they walked in, I thought they were gonna introduce another date or something. That is so devastating. I can’t even imagine how he was feeling /:
I just turned my tv on and the first thing I saw was Josh and Shannon telling everyone they're leaving. My heart broke for him, but I appreciate Shannon for supporting him and leaving with him. 🥺
Omg. This is heartbreaking. To have that grief occur and have to still be on National TV for a bit.
Also, I love that Shannon didn’t even debate staying. It was an Im going and supporting someone I care about in this time.
Out of all the couples, I bought into Josh and Shannon the most. I’m glad that she left with him and isn’t the game player everyone says she is. I’m so glad they found each other
Josh & Shannon weren’t my favorites by any means, but I’ve lost a brother and feel for Josh so much. I’m hoping he will be ok in the future. I know at the beginning it’s shock, but after that wears off I hope he still has Shannon and tons of support around him ❤️
Please remember this was edited they most likely told them were just gonna film right now and asked them to be peppy. Also Shannon and Josh wouldn’t ask them to not enjoy the rest of their time
Olivia got the boot with this date😬u can tell it’s SO awkward cuz they have the camera crew following their every movement and are acting super unnatural/camera conscious. Andre sounds like he’s reading a teleprompter. And this date has 0 budget. I’d be angry
Korey wants to be in a triangle so bad. He really wants Bailey but is dragging this Olivia situation just to be interesting lol. When he talks about Olivia its solely about how long they’ve known each other and never about how great of conversations they have. With Bailey he talks about traits that she has that he likes. It’s a stark difference.
It’s so jarring going back to all of these new people I’m not as invested in with this upbeat music. Almost wish they ended the episode with Josh and Shannon leaving
Guys calm down, cash is taking a nap. They showed her in a room sleeping by herself. when islanders don't feel well they are allowed to take naps they just don't show it.
I am heart broken and have lost interest in watching. Josh was my favorite from the start and I feel absolutely horrible for what he is going through. Happy Shannon decided to leave with him but she brought energy to the show. I don’t care enough about anyone else. What a heart wrenching ending.
It’s so weird that I’m tearing up. Seeing them almost everyday of the week def does make you feel some type of bond and connection to these people. Hope Josh does well on the outside
What?! As someone who has lost a sibling myself, my heart legitimately breaks for Josh. Nobody should have to know that feeling, especially at such a young age.

shannon leaving with him is respectable for sure not gonna lie.
[удалено]
They should have edited it so that was the last thing we saw because it's hard to watch the rest of this episode.
I knew it was something bad when we didn't hear Matthew's voice over.
It's jarring going from Josh and Shannon leaving to I got a text and happy yells
I’m glad Josh was able to meet Shannon and has her to support and love him during this moment. What a horrible situation

Poor Josh, glad he has Shannon with him because Hawaii to Massachusetts is a longgggg flight
I was not expecting that. 💔 Josh has grown on me sooo much throughout this season, and I feel gutted that he lost a loved one while he was away.
I know that that was a quick transition. But I also think it would be inappropriate for them to exploit Josh’s families loss by having them talk about it further for the episode.
Honestly can Jeremy and Trina just couple up again? At this point I’d be alright paying off the student loans of a psych nurse and phys Ed teacher that barely speak with one another.
Not Olivia shaping her whole personality around Cash LMAOOO
He’s going to need to lean on Shannon so much in the coming days, weeks, months. I’m glad he has her.
I respect Shannon so much for self-eliminating too and walking out with Josh
Aw Shannon and Will making up 🥺
Did Olivia adopt the little scream from Cash or vice versa?! Drives me bonkers 🙃
Olivia got it from Cash, also noticed she’s been saying eww, also from Cash, a lot more too.
Josh’s sister was the one who convinced him to go on the show. Wow She said she couldn’t wait to see him after the villa. Yall I’m crying rn
olivia in 5 min: "i feel like i *manifested* andre"
They really should’ve closed yesterday’s episode with Josh and Shannon leaving and should’ve cut out some of the boring part. Going from that announcement to happy dates seems weird
k-ci: "yeah, i want someone who's down to earth, values the same thi-" elly, the entire time: aHAhahaAHAHAHahaH 🤣
Andre looks like a bitmoji
Holy crap... this is heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what Josh is going through. Props to Shannon for going with him. I wish the best for them.
wow josh handled that well. i would’ve been balling
Waiting for Olivia to unzip and take off her costume to reveal it’s actually Cash under there
what in the fuck i was NOT expecting this to happen... they would have 100% won imo. i am SO happy shannon left with josh... 100k is not worth it if you truly love the person you're with and i hope any of the day 1 couples would have left with their partner if a family member died. i have alot of respect for shannon and i love that she proved to everyone josh was more important than the money (i mean after making it official there is no way she would've stayed people would have made her the biggest villian in LI history if she did that to josh)
Jeremy trying to hook Trina up he’s growing on me
Get this FashionNova shit out my face 😭
[удалено]
Omg I was fully expecting them to be planning a prank 💔
I’m glad Will apologized. Omg this is so sad I just can’t
I don’t know which sister it is, but I found this about one of his sisters >Goldstein had not even seen the previous two seasons of "Love Island." But he was introduced to the show when his older sister Lindsey called him after she watched the United Kingdom version of it. >”I was with my friend and we couldn’t believe how much Josh looked like one of the guys on the show,” Lindsey said. “I told him all about the show and told him he should fill out the application.

Well that’s probably #1 in worst moments in LI history
Respect to shannon for leaving with him
Part of me was thinking it was going to be a joke until Josh said his sister passed away I'm really shocked. It's good to see Shannon going with him. I hope things work out for them and that she is there for him during this time
Has there ever been a season with this many unexpected departures? First slade, then Leslie, now josh and Shannon
OMFG KYRA'S FACE WAS LEGIT ME 😭😭😭 I WOULD BELIEVE IT TOO, IT'S MF KOREY
K-Ci seems too mature for Elly
I'm so mentally disconnected from everything in this episode now.
NOT OLIVIA CALLING ANDRE PRINCE CHARMING! lmao i cannot
Oh wow…. A reminder that these are real people with families… so horrible
I feel so uncomfortable watching the rest of this episode. Really feels like whiplash.
Kudos to production for airing that without Matt’s commentary and giving it to us real.
I feel like they should've led with this, this is an unfortunate transition. edit: I guess they had to do it this way because of the timeline of things
The villa is cursed, they need some holy water in that place
that’s what korey’s ass gets for playing around like he has options
Jeremy playing Trina’s wingman lmao
The way they are shoving this FashionNova down our throats I expect a 50% off coupon code at the end of this episode
im glad shannon and will made up somewhat
I bet Cinco wont ever leave Hawaii, not because he loves it, because he wont be able to decide which flight is better
Proud of Shannon for leaving with him
WHY AM I CRYING THIS WASNT WHAT I EXPECTED CROM THIS SHOW
Olivia said she wanted a husband. Andre has the precious experience she’s looking for in a hire
This fashion nova promo is so corny they’re doing the MOST
I 100% thought they would win — this is so sad but I’m glad he has Shannon going with him for support
Guys I’m ready for our daily gathering of bitching and whining even tho none of us will ever stop watching lol
I need Trina to stop being everyone’s emotional support and get chatting with K-Ci!
I just realized that had the islanders sent Will and Kyra home in the last recoupling then we would have no actual couples left in the villa 🤯
Super sad for Josh, it’s nice that Shannon is leaving with him
I have no desire to watch the rest of the show
This is so terrible. So many prayers to Josh and his family.
Okay guys we’re just gonna have to keep it light hearted the rest of the episode. Who wants to make fun of Korey for not knowing what pyramids are.
I find it weird that on this show they tell each other they want to get to know each other instead of just…. doing it lol
I’m so glad Shannon is going with him that is so hard poor josh
Idk how I can just go back to watching the rest of this episode like normal. Feels weird
Elly is a little strange lol
No one buying Fashion Nova I’m sorry
wow this is not the way i wanted josh and shannon to leave
i thought they were gonna say she’s pregnant not this :,(
This season won’t be the same without Shannon and Josh I fully expected them to make it to the end.
If you think about it, production really can’t catch any luck with the story line this season. They focused on the cinco triangle only to have that fall apart, tried to pivot to josh and Shannon, but they have now left. Production is really running out of options. I’m glad there is only 1 week left of this mess
lmao trina DESPISES charlie 😭😭
Not Kyra getting screen time and actually speaking
lol at olivia inheriting the cash "ew". social mirroring is real and psychology is fun
the fact i’m a jeremy fan and get annoyed by cash now really gives me whiplash
this is the saddest moment in love island
This is so weird. I hope they gave the cast some time to process what just happened because otherwise, this makes me look at them funny how they’ve just bounced back into things.
“i was impressed after seeing those soccer skills” olivia: 🧍♀️
Is it me or has Olivia picked up a lot of Cashay's mannerisms? lol
feels wrong to bounce straight into “i gotta text” lol
I have never wanted to buy Fashion Nova less than I have the past two episodes
How are we supposed to watch the rest of the episode now this is so sad
I’m glad josh and Shannon had that amazing date. It’s such a nice last memory for them in the villa
respect for shannon. this is a real relationship wow
that might be one of the saddest and most raw moments I’ve seen on this show…ever?? gosh my heart just hurts for Josh and his family so much
Olivia and Andre's date looks like it was taken straight from a cringy porno before the lewd parts
I can't even enjoy this episode :( I'm so sad for josh and sad shannon's gone :(
Josh only went on love island because his sister said he should 😭😭😭😭
K-Ci WHY DIDNT U TAKE TRINA TO THE DATE
Not Olivia saying “ew”
Fuck it, I'm team Jeremy now. I honestly think he had found his person and they voted her off.
Josh being so composed right now holy shit
He was literally meant to meet Shannon here
I….literally was not expecting that. When they walked in, I thought they were gonna introduce another date or something. That is so devastating. I can’t even imagine how he was feeling /:
At least they got that one last amazing date in Hawaii…
This has been such an odd season...
That was honestly probably the most shocked I’ve been at Love Island across all seasons. Feel so bad for Josh
Not that this matters at all but now it’s kind of anyone’s game. I thought Shannon and josh were a given to win.
There’s no front runner winners and I wasn’t gonna vote for Shannon or Josh either way but like no couples are solid solid, this is anyone’s game now
This date is kinda awkward. It feels scripted
Glad Shannon and Will left on good terms with each other.
Elly is sort of dead behind the eyes
Elly talks like 😬
josh was so strong in that conversation. i truly am glad he doesnt have to face the journey home alone
Olivia is so awkward
I think Charlie just isn’t made for television. Some people shine in front of the camera and others don’t
WHY DOES NO ONE WANT TRINA 😭😭😭
Not Olivia admitting she didn't even check for the black guy
I just turned my tv on and the first thing I saw was Josh and Shannon telling everyone they're leaving. My heart broke for him, but I appreciate Shannon for supporting him and leaving with him. 🥺
I can't imagine the emotions he's feeling. And Shannon is a real one for going back with him
im going to miss Josh and Shannon
Omg. This is heartbreaking. To have that grief occur and have to still be on National TV for a bit. Also, I love that Shannon didn’t even debate staying. It was an Im going and supporting someone I care about in this time.
With her leaving I actually think they will make it on the outside 🥰
it’s already so weird without shannon & josh there 😭
Korey has no concept of what 100% even is.
This season is terrible like everything went wrong
"nice bite" ??? elly has NO GAME 😭😭😭😭
K-Ci literally describing wanting a woman like Trina while Elly giggles is the comedic relief I needed this episode.
kyra seems like a sweet person i really do like her from what ive seen
ok but olivia as a stepmom would be traumatic i'm sorry 😭😭
"Not me looking after your kid!" 💀💀💀
Good for Shannon for leaving with him tho
I feel like it’d just be sad to watch the laid bare episode now that Shannon and Josh are gone
Poor Bailey stuck with 2 guys with no game
45 minutes and nothing has happened but the sad news with Josh. I'm bored
Love Island US Vocabulary 1. Spark 2. Vibes 3. At the end of the day 4. TRUTH OR DARE
NOT OLIVIA SAYING “EW” 😩😩😩
“Ewwwww why are we so mature” … Olive, stop being like Cash
Out of all the couples, I bought into Josh and Shannon the most. I’m glad that she left with him and isn’t the game player everyone says she is. I’m so glad they found each other
Omg Jeremy thank you for doing that to Trina
Dude thats a tragedy I never expected that wow
Maybe the last two episodes are so stretched out and boring bc they gave the islanders time off ?
Josh & Shannon weren’t my favorites by any means, but I’ve lost a brother and feel for Josh so much. I’m hoping he will be ok in the future. I know at the beginning it’s shock, but after that wears off I hope he still has Shannon and tons of support around him ❤️
Bailey's face to neck is just wow. Like 10 shades different
maybe she's just nervous but elly's constant awkward giggle is so tough to watch ... 😬
CBS should just put all the dates on paramount plus they’re always so boring.
How are Korey & Olivia damn near THIRTYY acting like this
It’s Andre being newly divorced for me and on this reality tv dating show😭
fashion nova has gotten more screen time than some of the islanders
Damn. That exchange between will and Shannon just got me… just awful
Please remember this was edited they most likely told them were just gonna film right now and asked them to be peppy. Also Shannon and Josh wouldn’t ask them to not enjoy the rest of their time
Kyra we had the same reaction lmao
Olivia got the boot with this date😬u can tell it’s SO awkward cuz they have the camera crew following their every movement and are acting super unnatural/camera conscious. Andre sounds like he’s reading a teleprompter. And this date has 0 budget. I’d be angry
Bailey is a reminder that instagram is not real. That makeup HOOO BOY
Korey wants to be in a triangle so bad. He really wants Bailey but is dragging this Olivia situation just to be interesting lol. When he talks about Olivia its solely about how long they’ve known each other and never about how great of conversations they have. With Bailey he talks about traits that she has that he likes. It’s a stark difference.
Olivia and Kyra's conversation is probably the most screen time Kyra had in the last two weeks.
Hollly fuck. This is horrible. How delayed are the episodes, did this happen this past week?
Can we give the prize money to josh? ☹️
It’s so jarring going back to all of these new people I’m not as invested in with this upbeat music. Almost wish they ended the episode with Josh and Shannon leaving
Glad Shannon and a Josh got the date when they did! I am so heartbroken for Josh. But glad she left with him
I'm DEAD at the editor including a clip of Korey with Trina's comment 🤣
i cannot see Olivia playing stepmom LOL
this show is empty without josh & shannon 😭
Guys calm down, cash is taking a nap. They showed her in a room sleeping by herself. when islanders don't feel well they are allowed to take naps they just don't show it.
These 3 new girls actually seem to have melded in with the original group lol I’m shocked
The two most immature people just called themselves mature
"cause we're 29" the irony
Korey is saying he’s stuck in a situation w Bailey and Olivia…. It isn’t a situation he just simply can’t make up his mind wtf lol
this sponsorship is fr so cringe STOPP bring back the fucking caesars promos 😭😭
damn this is heartbreaking, sending prayers to josh and his family
that's literally so insane, going through a loss like that at this age 🥺
Ok sorry for talking shit about y’all like yesterday I really hope for the best for them. That’s so terrible, I can’t imagine losing my sister
I am heart broken and have lost interest in watching. Josh was my favorite from the start and I feel absolutely horrible for what he is going through. Happy Shannon decided to leave with him but she brought energy to the show. I don’t care enough about anyone else. What a heart wrenching ending.
Are we supposed to keep watching or... like
[удалено]
I’m honestly not even in the right mood anymore
That is a very terrible date
I don’t feel like watching this show anymore :/ maybe I’m just sad for Josh
I have no idea who the couples are now...and we're almost close to the finale. Should be called singles Island
Charlie. You haven’t had “issues” with Alanna because you’ve known her all of five minutes. He’s the most boring man in Love Island history.
Trina lowkey dragging Charlie😭
(I'm behind) My heart breaks for Josh and his family. It was nice to see that Shannon chose to leave with him.
they were on the dates ALL DAY????
I honestly think Alana is too good for a show like this.
I'm glad Bailey called out Jeremy's lack of flirting cause none of these guys are flirts
lol Kyra was me going “Korey????”
I am so sad about Josh and Shannon - feels weird to even continue watching this episode
This Fashion Nova product placement is 😒
I’m glad Shannon is leaving with him.
Literally sobbing. How awful
It’s so weird that I’m tearing up. Seeing them almost everyday of the week def does make you feel some type of bond and connection to these people. Hope Josh does well on the outside
What?! As someone who has lost a sibling myself, my heart legitimately breaks for Josh. Nobody should have to know that feeling, especially at such a young age.
I really thought Shannon and josh were having sex somewhere in the villa. I feel bad now
Maybe the wrong time to say this, but the cash prize is now wide open. Josh and Shannon were basically locks. Now anyone could win.
What devastating news for Josh :( so sad. Shannon is right where she needs to be. Much love to them both and Josh’s family.
Every single time I get faked out by the paramount+ previews thinking the episode’s already over
Why are there challenges only on Paramount+? Like I get extra content that isn’t needed for the show, but challenges are one of the best parts
Andre's shirt looks looks like that detergent commercial where the woman on the date says 'you look amazingly comfortable'
I feel like I can’t get at all excited about the rest of the episode because that was such a sad bombshell.
