IAIN STIRLING: Previously on Love Island...
# Tell me would you feel my love? #
"Which couple is playing the biggest game?"
Zach and Molly. Ooh.
We'll see when he stops speaking to Leah.
# Let me feel your love... #
IAIN: ..home truths...
"Girls, could your partner's head be turned by someone new?"
That's a no. Yes.
I don't feel like I'm ready to close myself off completely.
Certain people, it's hard to believe that if someone was to come in,
they wouldn't be interested in getting to know them.
Say names. Say names. Everyone.
Cool, that's your opinion.
# Tell me would you feel my love? #
I can't lie to you and say I am 100% closed off
to anyone that comes through that door.
Jess, you know what to do. Dump him and just stick with me.
IAIN: ..and hot passion.
I've got a crush. Well, I have a crush too.
# Let me feel your love. #
IAIN: Tonight...
Don't walk away from me. What we gonna talk about?
What, you want... You wanna make a scene, yeah?
IAIN: ..tempers flare...
I could've literally dropped you out two times, yeah. Yeah.
You're just a little boy. Go away.
IAIN: ..and... there's a shock revelation.
MAYA JAMA:You now have a very big decision to make.
# I just wanna be with you, you... #
IAIN: When Mehdi kissed Whitney, his heart raced like a locomotive,
his eyes flashed like the light on the train door
before the button stops working and his breath was hotter than
the hand dryer above the toilet sink you can never find.
Railway romance.
And Jess is also feeling the love.
I spoke to Sammy earlier and he just asked about Mitch,
whatever, and I just said,
"Look, it's just been a friendly conversation."
And then I actually was talking to Mitch and I just felt like,
"Do you know what? I actually disagree."
There's something there? We do get on.
THEY GIGGLE
Girls, I feel really stuck.
Girl, you only figure that out in the moment.
You actually went in with a mindset
that I'm actually going to shut this down.
But now I need to be honest with Sammy, innit? And tell him.
Honestly, Jess, you're in here for you.
You owe it to yourself to explore a connection
that you actually feel potential with.
You let him get to know Leah and you gave that space. Exactly.
So, do you, babe. Do you. Yeah.
Jess should make Sammy sweat.
Sammy said in the challenge his head could be turned
and Jess does have a little something there for Mitch,
so why should she shut it down?
I've been a bad girl.
THEY SQUEAL
You and Whitney? Yes!
THEY LAUGH Whitney!
Shut up, Jess. Sorry.
Your lipstick is all over your face.
Is it actually? Fix it. Was a nice kiss?
Yeah, it was better than the challenge, for sure.
Come on, give us the juicy deets.
It was a good kiss, I'm not going to lie.
Did it flow? Yeah, it flowed.
He's French, what do you expect? Like...
I love this for you, babe. I know.
You know what, this is the intimacy, it's a taster.
Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm scared. But it was good.
He just told me everything that I wanted to hear,
like, everything I've been wanting to hear
and then this like... it left my brain.
SHE LAUGHS
IAIN: Jess wants to level with Sammy.
My mum always says honesty is the best policy,
but she also says tartan is a colour,
so I take everything she says with a pinch of salt.
Right, I wanna be honest with you, so, obviously,
when I spoke to you earlier about the Mitch situation... Mmm.
..when I was speaking to him, like, it just...
Like, I'm not even gonna lie, like, it...
I don't know, I feel like I don't wanna do that. Right.
I don't know, I just feel like me and him get on.
Obviously not as well as what we do, but I feel like
why should I bite my nose to spite my face
when I get on with him? Mmm.
Do you know what I mean? So I just thought I'd let you know.
It's took you this long to realise it.
Well, no, because every conversation I've had with him
has just been mainly just friends.
I feel like the situation what happened with you and Leah,
I took a step back, I didn't think,
"Oh, yeah, he's getting to know her so then I'm gonna go and do that."
You're not cutting yourself off, so why should I cut myself off?
Yeah, that's fine, get to know him like that.
I'm not gonna be sitting about for ages while you get to know him.
I'm not asking you to sit about. Yeah. But... I'm just saying.
You got to know someone else.
Which is fine, I'm not getting annoyed.
Then how can you have a go at me for that?
Am I... am I getting annoyed? I'm not.
You're getting a bit high heated.
Yeah, but, at the end of the day, Jess, it's because I care about it.
If I just sat here and was just like,
"Yeah, do you what you need to..."
Then, obviously... I'm just saying, I feel like...
Why am I gonna close myself off?
I'm not saying you have to, but I'm saying...
Then what's the problem?
Don't make me look like a mug in the challenge saying that,
and then doing exactly what I just done.
Just because I said I'm not closing it off... OK.
I'm not closing myself off. Fine, get to know him. It's fine.
You're just embarrassing.
You can't even listen to me, it's actually well embarrassing.
'I feel like he's very opinionated and so am I.'
I've told him truth.
I pulled him straight away, as soon as I spoke to Mitch,
and told him the truth. He doesn't want to hear the truth.
His ego has definitely been shot down.
That's his problem, not mine.
Why is it always drama in my life? Babe, where did you go?
I stormed off. Why? Basically, today, yeah,
I was gonna cut my nose off to spite my face with Mitch
and just cut it off, yeah? Yeah.
And then we actually had a really deep convo,
and I was like, "Do you know what?" I sat there,
and he was just talking to me, and I thought,
"I'd be a fool if I done this." To cut it off?
WHITNEY: Yeah. I'd be fool.
I'd put myself vulnerable, I wouldn't have no options...
I think that, though. I don't think you should do that.
I pulled Sammy back again and told him the truth. He did NOT like that.
A guy needs to know that he can lose you.
Don't let him get comfortable. Yeah, that's what I mean.
I just feel, like, have a little bit of taste of your own medicine.
Why should I feel like every boy
should take advantage of my niceness?
Because that is literally what happens every single time.
It's, like, giving me a hard time,
and then you're gonna go do exactly the same thing.
ZACH:Don't be a hypocrite.
That's what I'm saying, it's hypocritical.
Hypocritical, with a capital H, bro. Like, come on.
The best thing you can do is not react,
like, the best reaction is no reaction.
But I'm absolutely fine with her getting to know you.
But be honest about it.
Be honest about it, don't give me a hard time and get on to me about it,
when you're gonna do the same thing, and don't lie.
Do you reckon this is, like, a trickle effect of what you've done?
Yeah, possibly. I don't know if she's trying
to throw it back in my face, cos I've pissed her off. I don't know.
Maybe cos the fact you said you are open in today's challenge,
d'you get me?
No, yeah, which I get, but we've said this the whole time.
You're doing the mature thing. I'd be fuming.
I'd be fuming, as well.
Two hours ago, I was very, very closed off.
Right now, I'm questioning myself that, like, should I be closed off?
No, just sleep on it, bro.
At the end of the day, if a girl bombshell comes through,
then she ain't got a leg to stand on.
Without sounding quite bad, I was Jess's type, she wasn't mine.
I'm the one that sort of worked to try something new and explore Jess,
and now she's trying to play games. Like, nah!
IAIN: Gas engineer Mitch and Sammy have loads in common.
Mitch likes to see himself as an adjustable wrench -
versatile and reliable.
And right now, Sammy also thinks Mitch is a tool.
I just wanna apologise for walking off. I don't wanna argue.
I'm not an argumentative person, but I just want to talk to you,
cos I just feel like the situation's just completely
got blown out of proportion. It has, definitely.
From day one, yeah, Mitch got coupled up with Molly,
and I always had an interest in him, but he focused on Molly,
and he basically friendzoned me.
Since then, me and Mitch have not had any flirty conversation, like,
I don't feel like I've done anything wrong personally.
I've just been honest with myself and honest to you.
It's not like a new bombshell's come in,
and I'm testing the waters. I'm not.
I would understand it more if it was a bombshell,
that's what I'm saying.
At the end of the day, I am not saying I am closed off,
but after the last couple of days, how you've been acting,
I've taken a step back on it, and I've just realised...
Just stop saying... Just stop saying...
Just cos how I've been acting is what you're doing right now.
How? But I'm not using it as a test. All right.
I'm openly doing what I'm doing with you.
So, what, you're openly getting to know Mitch?
I'm not openly getting to know Mitch,
I've just not friendzoned him!
Like the way you've told me, "Mitch is a friendship thing,"
for the last week... Yeah, it has been.
..and now, apparently out of the blue,
you've just suddenly realised you want to get to know him in that way?
Yeah. Just conveniently, just right there in that conversation?
You didn't want to get to know him, your head's turned,
and now you do want to get to know him. That's what's happened.
Can you listen? You're just putting it in different words.
No, I'm not. Can you listen to me? Go on.
At the end of the day, if I want to chill
and to get where my head's at... All right, fine.
..then you should respect that. Fine, fine, fine.
No, but you should respect that. Why are we doing this again?
All right, fine... Ooh, they're arguing. They're arguing.
You should respect that.
Get to know Mitch, do what you need to do. That's fine.
Do you know what? You're just showing little-boy behaviour.
I'm not showing little-boy behaviour,
because what I'm saying, what I'm saying...
You're not even listening to me! Listen, listen.
You're not even listening to me.
I've been straight up with you the whole time, yeah?
You're not listening to me.
I was very, very, very closed off with you,
and now things have changed for me right now,
cos with just suddenly gone from this to this.
It's like, I'm not so closed off now,
and I feel like I'm just gonna take a step back. All right, that's fine.
You take a little step back. I'm not asking you not to...
Don't walk away from me. Well, what are you gonna talk about?
Well, no, because... We've spoke about everything, Jess.
What more do you want to talk about?
Cos I don't want to leave it on bad terms.
You want to get to know Mitch. Sit down.
What, so you expect me to just fully close myself off? What?
I'm not saying I wanna get to know Mitch.
I'm not saying I want to get to know him... Oh, my God.
It's proper kicking off. It's proper kicking off.
So, what, you want to make a scene, yeah? Do your thing, do your thing.
Sammy, don't walk away from me and make a scene,
cos you're actually immature.
# Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble Don't treat me like that... #
Let me talk to her, bro. Let me talk to her.
Mitchel, can you come here, please? Oh, hero (!)
JESS SCOFFS
I'm trying to be sound, but he's calling me a hero.
What's happened there? He's just showing little-boy behaviour.
He's just walked off and walked away,
and I said I've not finished with my conversation.
I'm so over it. Yeah?
If it was, like, a girl that, like, I was head over heels for,
it would be a different story,
but I'm not gonna be treated like a mug, do you know what I mean?
Just like... Do your thing.
Do you know what it is, Jess? I want to get to know you.
And he just can't handle the fact... He just can't handle it.
Mitch coming to the rescue like "Oh, I'll go chat to her."
SAMMY LAUGHS Bro, come on.
And the fact that he's calling me a hero. He can do one.
Like, I were trying to be good with him then,
and it's just, you don't do that.
That's his age again. Just dead it off.
JESS SIGHS
He's just doing it wrong, completely wrong.
He needs to just... He needs to wind his neck back in
and get his head back on his shoulders
cos his head's gone.
If I want to get to know you, I can, and if I don't,
I don't feel like I need to clarify anything with you
because we've already got that base friendship.
Do you understand where I'm coming from? Yeah.
He should be mature and understand that,
and he is literally just giving immature.
I let it... Oi...
Don't, cos I'm gonna go and kick off again.
No, no, no, no. No, because it just fucks me off.
Don't kick off to him, though. No, I'm not kicking off.
I just can't even be arsed. It's actually immature behaviour.
# No, I'm no good No, I'm no good for you... #
Sammy, just to clarify, yeah? SAMMY GROANS
I'm not even making a scene, yeah,
but when you wanted to get to know Leah,
I stepped back and let you do your thing.
I said I want to chat to Mitchel, yeah, and you kick off.
Do you know how much that shows your little-boy behaviour?
I said you can get to know him. I said you can get to know him.
You chat to Leah and do your thing, yeah, and then...
I said you can get to know him. I said you can get to know him.
It shows your little behaviour, mate.
I said you can get to know him. Go and do your thing, then.
Go and do your thing. I said you can get to know him.
I could've literally dropped you out two times, yeah?
Sitting round that fire pit. Yeah, fuck off, mate.
All right. You're just a little boy. Go away.
# No, I'm no good No, I'm no good for you
# But I hate that... #
Me and Jess were like this.
I was extremely closed off, I thought we was gonna be something.
I thought we was actually on a path, and right now,
everything's opened back up. She's shouting at you.
And she's basically fucked the whole thing, so whatever.
Do your thing.
# I'm no good for you. #
# Suppose I thought that By this moment
I would have it figured out... #
My night was great, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Are you gonna have a cuddle tonight? Probably.
Of course he is. Yes.
Course you are, Mehd.
# So here's To my beautiful life... #
It's a difficult one. Because them right now are in a sticky situation.
It's not the best way to get to know a girl,
so I just need to keep my eye on the situation
for the next couple of days.
# On and on and on On and on and on
# So here's To my beautiful life
# On and on and on On and on and on
# Though I'd be happier somehow
# If you were wondering How I'm feeling now. #
IAIN: Last night, Jess told Sammy she wanted a more open relationship.
Sammy took the news in his stride,
and that stride took him into the garden,
where he kicked three beanbags into the pool.
MUSIC: 'Die for Someone' by Sam Tompkins
# I should be wiser
# Instead, I'm too frightened To love again... #
No-one's talking this morning.
Morning, Sammy. Morning, bro.
What you saying, brother? Not much.
Did you cuddle last night, you two lovebirds? Yeah.
Did you kiss again or just left it as a one kiss?
You should have been in the bed with us.
I wish I was! Good answer!
# I've gotta find somebody To lose already
Come here, Whitney! SHE GIGGLES
Not the skip!
# I'm misguided
# I've gotta find somebody To lose already
# I can't sit still Because I'll get buried
# Got my hopes up now But I ain't got many, no... #
Talk to us, bro. Talk to us.
THEY CHANT:Mehdi! Mehdi! Mehdi! Mehdi! Mehdi! Mehdi!
So, yeah, after last night, you know, I feel good.
Obviously, I think it was about time that we kissed, so, yeah, we...
Me too. I agree.
What was the kiss like, Mehds? Decent?
It was a very good kiss, yeah.
I'm feeling good. It was a good kiss.
It was... It was nice. We cuddled.
Do you ever kiss in bed? Not a kiss.
We're crawling, we're not running yet.
OK. Well, I'm liking the crawl. Slow and steady.
Yeah, slow and steady wins the race. Yeah, but it was good.
Bro, Sammy, how's your head feeling this morning?
Yeah, my head... To be honest, mate,
I feel like I was taken the piss out of a little bit last night
with how Jess was moving.
I think she's been a little bit sly. There's just been...
Not everything's straightforward as though she's making it.
I don't how he feels about me, do you know what I mean?
So that's why it's pushed me away. I don't feel like he's genuine.
Do you know what I mean? What do you wanna do today?
Obviously, I wanna speak to him, innit?
But he can talk to me.
His age is showing, and you want a mature boyfriend,
do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Look at the boy you like and that you wanna get to know.
He's gonna bring you drama. That's the type of guy he is.
You don't want no drama, go for Mitch.
What about you, Molls?
I feel like you've been acting real quiet.
Do you know what? I'm just really happy.
Do you know when something just feels right,
you don't even have any questions about, like, "What about this?
"What about this?" Everything just feels right.
I'm loving where it's going. I feel so, just, comfortable,
and everything feels right around him.
Before bed, I was like, "Can I get a good night kiss?"
And then we had quite a big kiss. Like, it was...
You had a snog.
You had a nice kiss? It was a big kiss.
But you know what? It was so good and so right.
And I didn't wanna stop, he didn't wanna stop,
and it was just like, "This is so right!" Like...
Yay! ..and I didn't feel guilty.
Myself, just looking forward to
just exploring another day with Molly.
I think each day we grow a little bit closer.
How was your chat with Scott last night?
Was it flirty? Yeah, good, to be fair.
I feel like he is really flirty with me.
I feel like with Scott it's more, like, flirty initial, like,
sexual chemistry, and I feel like with Mitch, it's the opposite.
He comes out with more of the, you know, long-term thing,
but I don't initially look at him
and think "I wanna rip your clothes off".
Well, I'm good over here. Yeah! We need tips, Ella!
Scott, brother. Seemed like a busy boy yesterday.
Got pulled left and right.
Just living every boy's dream, really.
Only slept with Catherine for two nights,
it's like a... Yeah.
It's... We've only just been re-coupled, so, yeah, for now,
just a matter of getting to know her and just living up a little bit.
Well, today's a new day, bruv. All here.
Let's see. Is in that wardrobe?
TEXT ALERT, SCREAMING
I've got text! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
READS ALOUD:
SQUEALING
That's so cute!
I love that for us, a little brunch!
Oh, my goodness! This is so cute! Oh, my goodness!
Boys, got a text. Oh.
SHE READS ALOUD:
Basically our first date.
Come on, first date and that. About time.
Right, let's go, I'm hungry.
IAIN: The Islanders are being treated to a hot breakfast,
which would be lovely, if it wasn't fresh fruit and yoghurt
that had been sat in the sun for three hours.
# I've never known Someone like you... #
Fuck!
Whoa, this is sick! Oh, that's well cute.
Aww!
Very cute. This is very cute. Aw!
Aw! Sorry.
Pull your chair. Aw, thanks, Scott.
This is amazing. Aw! I love this!
Wow. This is class.
Oh, my goodness, this is adorable. SHE GASPS
This is so cute.
Cheers to our first date. Been a long time coming.
More life, more vibes. Love that.
Eat up, drink up, everything's on me today.
SHE LAUGHS You know what I'm saying.
Well done, babe, you done good.
Let's cheers. Cheers to our second date.
To many more.
How you doing today?
Yeah, just feel like just a bit of a shit mood, to be honest. Yeah?
Obviously, you need to do what you need to do, and I'll be honest...
Yeah, but you're not understanding my perspective on the situation.
I do understand your perspective. You're not understanding,
cos you got up and walked away.
I'm telling you, when I talk to Mitch, yeah,
there's nothing to friendzone because we haven't even flirted.
Yeah.Nothing has gone on between me and Mitch.
You think that I'm sat there flirting with him. Now.
You know I'm not like that, anyway,
but I'm just telling you why I'm not closing myself off.
Well, I'm not sitting about for the next week or two weeks...
I'm not asking you sit... No, and I'm... ..where you're still
just, like, "I just don't wanna friendzone you."
I need an answer. SHE HUFFS
See, it just never gets anywhere with you.
And this is what... You're flying in circles, Jess.
Yeah, but can we come to some sort of agreement?
Because this is what's turning... And trying to come to an agreement.
You're not coming to an agreement,
cos every time I try and talk you just don't listen to me.
# I don't wanna die Or fade away... #
I've never had brunch in a bikini. And it's great.
Things are looking good. This is our first... date.
What do you reckon, then? Could be another?
Er... That'll be a yeah.
CHUCKLES
Erm, how do you feel about the situation with Jess?
Yeah, I do wanna get to know Jess,
but it's, erm, it's obviously a sticky situation
that they're in it the moment that am trying to look through,
but it's difficult. With you and me, we've both got options,
but we've got no baggage at the moment, have we?
LAUGHING:Baggage.
Do you know what? And you said go on after what I want? Yeah.
And obviously... I hate saying that,
but, you know, I do think we do get along. Yeah.
Obviously I'm not here to rush you to, like, make any decision. Yeah.
But things do move fast in here. I know. No, I know.You know?
I wanna get to know you. Yeah.
And then I'll be, like, "Who am I more compatible with?Yeah.
# Sit in the sky, goes cold And if the clouds get heavy... #
How often do you go back to France? I live in France, Whitney.
I thought you live in London.
I'm... I'm gonna move at the end of the summer, that was my plan,
I'm looking at places, you know? So, where would you move?
What's your vibe? Central. I wanna be close to Mayfair.
Of course, that's so you. Why would it be me?
That's... You're so bougie. I'm not, bougie. You are.
I'm not bougie. I wanted to move to Buckingham Palace,
but apparently someone lives there, so...
HE LAUGHS
Would you move to France? No.
SHE CHUCKLES
You really surprise me, though.
Completely surprised how this has actually come about. Yeah.
I am, though, and I never expected it.
And I'm so glad it's happened, though.
You brought out the best side of me, because I'm more myself now.
I think it's because there's no pressure.
I feel so relaxed, and it feels so right.
# Guess I'm on my way... #
I-I... Again, there's no pressure on you.
I feel like we just need to be honest with each other,
100% of the time. But I'm doing that anyway.
Kind of know... from tiny things... You're fucking beautiful, you know?
# I'm stuck on you I've got this feeling
# Down deep in my soul That I just can't lose... #
If I saw you out in Dublin,
you would be definitely someone I'd speak to.Yeah.
I feel like the same, to be fair. Really?
Just what I was about to say.
Same minds think alike. Yeah, exactly.
We're literally opposites in every way.
We're not. Do you not think so?
I think we, of course, come from two different worlds,
but I like the way you are, you know?
So you can be whoever you want.
I do want to be a young mum.
What about you? SHE LAUGHS
And this is where it goes... Completely. Erm...
What's your vibe? Look...
Not the "look..." THEY LAUGH
Mehdi!
Respectfully open and honest, that's what we want. Cool.
But anyway, you said that you're closed off.
Wait, what? SHE LAUGHS
Wait, wait... THEY LAUGH
Yo, slow... slow down, my friend! When did this conversation happen?
You said your head couldn't be turned. Yeah?
That's how I feel. You said no.
I had to think hard about that question, though.
I thought hard.
And you went with no. So would you stand by that?
Yeah. As of now, yeah.
You can't be doing "as of now". What do you mean, "as of now"?
That's how I felt when the question got asked me.
It's not about in the moment, it's about how you feel, full stop.
# And though I see You laying there... #
I'm gonna feed you a strawberry. OK.
The whole thing? THEY LAUGH
Mitch... It's too early for this, innit?
I feel like you're gonna shove it down my throat.
I'm not gonna do that.
I do care about you, and I do want it to work.
Yeah, I do, as well.
And I understand I've got to know Leah,
it's fine, get to know Mitch, but it's like, I just want...
And at the end of the day, like, I still do want to carry on
getting to know you and that, and it's like... All right.
But it's... Yeah. All right. Fine.
# You... #
Fine, let's just leave it at that, then,
cos it clearly ain't going anywhere.
What do you mean? What is this? Granola?
What do you mean it's clearly not going anywhere?
We just... No. No, it's fine.
Let's leave it at that, then, cos otherwise,
it's just gonna keep going round in circles, innit?
# And suddenly roses feel strange. #
# I... #
IAIN: Hello! Look who it is!
It's everything your heart could desire.
A format twist with a lady called Maya.
# Wear the
# Crown
# Wear the... #
MAYA: Hi, my lovelies!
# Oh
# Oh... #
Oh, my God. It's Maya Jama.
# I wear the crown I wear the crown. #
IAIN: The Islanders are about to spit out their breakfast,
partly because Maya's suddenly shown up,
mainly cos the breakfast is rank.
MAYA JAMA: Hi, my lovelies.
Oh... Hello.Bonjour.
This is a bit of a surprise, innit?
OK, stay where you are, this won't take long.
I hope you're enjoying your cute brunch
and spending a bit of time together.
Are things going well in here? Not really.
Well, as you know, finding your perfect match isn't always easy.
You guys are all living together, spending every moment together.
You all have a front-row seat into everyone's relationship.
You see first-hand how it all goes down.
In your couples, you now have a very big decision to make.
I want you to decide which two couples
are the least compatible.
And, tonight, I'll be back to find out who you've all chosen.
This won't be easy, so I'll leave you to it,
and I will see you later. Bye-bye.
It's never good news when she comes, is it?
Pardon my French, but what the fuck was that?
What are you thinking?
I feel like that's a difficult decision.
Oh, one thing after the other. Couldn't have come at a worse time.
IAIN: Maya's appearance has left the Islanders
with a bad taste in their mouths.
Partly cos she presented them with an agonising dilemma,
mainly cos that breakfast, and I can't emphasise this enough,
was rank.
# Fighting for my life till the end
# Don't say I didn't warn you... #
Start with Ty and Ella.
I think they've had their bumps and they've proven to each other
that they are stronger than they think they were, probably,
because I think Ella was worried at first.
I think they are compatible.
Yeah, would you say that's more just because no-one else
has even really come in that's for them,
so they haven't really had a real test?
When I'm around Zach and Molly,
and the way they are with each other, I can't ignore it.
Molly and Zach have not argued once. They just get on.
I don't know if it's more like, "We're both chilled people,
"and we can just sit and chill together,
"and there is, like, an attraction there",
than it is like a compatible, I see a future with you.
Ty and Ella, they're pretty much the same position as us.
They had a little test, they rocked the boat a bit
and they've come through it, and they seem strong.
Mehdi and Whitney, they're a difficult one
because they're so, like, on-off, on-off.
Whitney is like... Doesn't like this about Mehdi
and then Mehdi is like this about Whitney, and it's like...
There's not much affection there between them.
Jess and Sammy...
I feel like, in here, there's definitely a connection,
but I don't know if it's going to survive.
They are growing on each other every day. That's a tricky one.
Catherine and Scott?
Even though it's early days, I think they like each other.
They still need to get to know each other,
but I feel like there's a big potential between them.
They're actually quite compatible. I think they are.
Whitney and Mehdi?
Whitney and Mehds, they're opposites that attract.
Yeah. Erm, it just works between them.
But then, if you wanna look at the cons,
you take the kiss out of the equation last night,
and it's a very different conversation we're having.
110%, but I think the challenge pushed them to basically, like,
move forward in the right direction.
# Don't say I didn't warn you Say I didn't warn you... #
Leah with Mitchel. Mitch still wants to get to know Jess, so...
Yeah. And then Jess still wants to get to know Mitch. Yeah.
Scott and Catherine, they talk a lot,
they get on really well, they cuddle at night.
I feel like Scott needs more time.
Yeah, I feel like, with me, in that situation, like,
it's very difficult because, obviously, I don't hear from Scott
how compatible he is with Catherine, because he just speaks about, like,
obviously me and him, and obviously I've been getting to know him,
so I feel like, for me, that's quite a difficult situation at this point.
# I'll live forever... #
Mitch and Leah. OK. Her and Mitch, to me,
don't think they're compatible. I don't see them working.
Scott and Catherine, they are a new couple.
I've not really spoke to Scott, and I don't really know...
Obviously, I know he is wanting to get to know Leah, as well.
Yeah, I feel like, with Sammy and Jess,
they had the big argument last night.
It's just one thing after another.
Mehdi and Whitney, they've had the most amount of time,
and they've progressed the least.
Mitch and Leah...
I feel like they shot themselves in the foot the last few days,
because they've been saying that,
"We don't know yet, it's just friends right now."
Mehdi and Whitney, if I'm being honest, yeah,
even from the first minute Mehdi and Whitney coupled up,
I said, "Nah, this ain't lasting." Last night, they made up.
They told each other they really like each other, and they kissed.
What I'm saying, a kiss on the terrace don't mean nothing.
Molly and Mitchel kissed on the terrace, and it was done.
Maybe to you. But I know Whitney, and that's a big thing for her.
Mehdi just said, "Fuck this, cool," and gave in. Maybe.
That's not in his character. How do you know?
I'm just going off what I see. And I'm going off what I think.
You are just going off of irrational thoughts.
I'm using what's in front of us. If you look at...
OK, so, if you look at Mehdi as a person,
do you think he's the type of guy that's just gonna be like,
"Oh, fuck that, I'll just kiss her on the..."?
He's not that type of guy. How do you know?
# Whose side are you on...? #
I think we've made our decision. Yeah.
# Whose side are you on...? # We've come to an agreement, anyway.
So, are you happy with...? Yeah.
From what we've seen,
I feel like that's probably the best kind of decision.
# Who's side are you on... ? # It's defo a hard decision.
Oh, this shit's tough, though.
Definitely don't like the thought of... Yeah.
We have an agreement? Yeah. All right, cool.
# Whose side are you on? #
IAIN: It's been a hell of a day for the Islanders.
First, there was brunch, then Maya appeared,
then I blew Jess out the water in a game of Scrabble
with a 13-letter belter.
Compatibility is such a big word. Yeah.
# I've been waiting so, so long So, so long... #
How is everyone feeling?
Shit. Not great.
Whatever's meant to be will be.
# Ooh, I've been waiting I've been waiting
# I've been waiting
# I wanna get with you... #
All the couples have pros and cons. It was a tough decision.
Oh, well. The truth'll come out tonight.
Everyone's in a shirt, bruv. Everyone's on a serious ting.
Shit's getting real. Shit is getting real.
I just feel like again, expect the unexpected.
Obviously, boys, anyone could go home tonight.
Something big's gonna happen.
TEXT ALERT Oh.
Oh, my God. Shit.
HE READS ALOUD:
Oh, my God. Jesus Christ.
Ugh! Gonna get the girls.
# Mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm... #
I've got a text. # All eyes on me... #
"Can all Islanders gather around the fire pit immediately."
Oh, my God. Now.
# All eyes on me I, I, I, I get what's mine
# And if they take one look I've got them hypnotised
# I'm coming for you Watch me now
# I'm taking over every town
# So come on, hand over the crown
# You know I'm never going down Down, down, down, down
# All eyes on me Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm... #
Hi, everyone.
# All eyes on me Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
# All eyes on me. #
Earlier, I asked you all to discuss
which two couples you think are the least compatible.
Who is really here to find love?
Which couples are vibing, and which couples are just not giving?
Let's find out.
Whitney and Mehdi, you are first. Please stand up.
# My heart beats in patters To the broken sound... #
Please tell us who you think is least compatible
and give us your reasons.
So, the first couple we have chosen is Sammy and Jess.
We made this decision based on communication skills,
and we think that communication is an important skill
in a relationship. Sorry about that.
The second couple that we've chosen is Leah and Mitch.
Only because they said it was friendly.
It was their words.
# Free animal, free animal... #
Please take a seat. Thank you.
# To the broken sound... #
Catherine and Scott, please stand.
# You're the only one That can calm me down... #
It's time to reveal the two couples that you have decided on and why.
The first couple was...
Leah and Mitch.
From both ends, they did say it is quite friendly.
It is hard to move off from being friendly.
Second couple that we decided on was Sammy and Jess.
This should be the honeymoon period now,
and every time that they have an issue and it gets resolved,
there seems to be another issue.
Should just be getting to know each other, really,
and building foundations for the future.
WHISPERING:Oh, my God. Savage.
Please take a seat.
Ella and Tyrique, please stand up.
# Power to the people
# Power to the people... #
Which two couples do you think struggle with compatibility?
The first couple we chose as the least compatible
was Catherine and Scott.
Scott's head is not fully with Catherine yet,
so I just don't see how they are that compatible
at this current moment in time.
The second couple is Mitch and Leah.
Mitch and Leah are the only couple in the villa
that we know at this time are mainly just friends.
OK. Thank you both. Please take a seat.
OK, Jess and Sammy, please could you stand?
Please reveal who you've decided and why.
So, the first couple is Catherine and Scott.
It doesn't seem like there's much physical attraction there.
I'm not sure that Scott is completely set with Catherine.
So, the second couple we've chosen is Leah and Mitchel.
And it's kind of just a friendship vibe,
and obviously, friendships aren't compatible, so...
Please take a seat.
# Power to the people
# Power to the people, right on. #
Leah and Mitchel, please stand up.
Who do you think are the least compatible couples in the villa?
This was a really hard decision,
but we have gone with Sammy and Jess.
I think the fundamentals of a strong relationship,
you really do need to have, like, good communication.
In a few of the recent situations that have arisen,
we've not really had a chance to see this yet.
# Everybody's acting
# Like the world is ending... #
The second couple is Mehdi and Whitney.
If I look at it from an outside point of view,
I don't think they'd ever talk to each other in the outside world.
Obviously, they've been coupled up the longest amount of time
out of anyone, but I don't think anyone's coming through
for either of you right now,
and I just think you're just holding on until something comes in.
# We're searching for The light in... #
Please take a seat. # The darkness... #
IAIN: With only Molly and Zach left to choose,
Jess and Sammy, and Mitch and Leah have three votes each,
while Scott and Catherine have two votes.
Molly and Zach, please can you stand?
Who will you choose and why?
The first couple that we put forward as Mitch and Leah.
There is something missing there,
and I'm not 100% sure if this was in the outside world,
things would be working out, if I'm completely honest.
# It's madness... #
The second couple we have chosen is Sammy and Jess.
It's been quite a one-sided communication,
and I think, for something to be compatible,
it needs to be two-sided and being able to communicate well.
OK. Please take a seat.
# It's madness It's madness... #
Leah and Mitchel, Jess and Sammy, please come and stand next to me.
# Dynamite... #
As your fellow Islanders decided,
you are the two least compatible couples.
All four of you are now single.
You will also not be able to re-couple each other
at the next re-coupling.
I have one last piece of news before I leave.
Leah, Mitchel, Jess and Sammy,
you are not the only single Islanders.
# The time is now The world is ours... #
Mel and Montel are waiting to date you
at the front of the Villa.
# I said it's ours for the taking
# It's a new world we're making
# I'll bend And I'll break it down... #
Sammy, you don't look that happy about that.
No, I mean, I don't think it's the right decision,
but compared to most couples in here,
I think we are far, far more compatible.
We shouldn't be stood here.
So who do you think hasn't been completely honest?
Mehdi and Whitney, and Scott and Catherine,
if I'm completely honest.
# Tongues get tied... #
Mehdi and Whitney, anything to say back?
No, I just never compare myself to the others, so...
I focus on my couple. Touche. Copy that.
And Scott and Catherine, do you have anything to say to that?
I felt like if people voted for us,
it would've been an easy copout.
I think, when you strip everything back,
for me, it's the right decision,
just off what's gone on the last few days.
Well, you are single now,
so make hay while the sun shines or whatever they say.Yeah.
All right, I'm off now.
I'll leave you to the rest of your night.
But remember, you're only here for a good time and not a long time,
so make the most of it.
See you later. Bye! Enjoy.
# I'm dynamite
# Just like dynamite #
# And blow you away... #
I'm not an intentional heartbreaker, but hearts do tend to break.
We're all in here for the same reason,
so may the best man win.
I am not afraid to step on people's toes.
Yeah, respectfully, I'm gonna take your man.
