MUSIC: 'How Does It Feel' by Tom Grennan
# Cos I could be at yours on Friday Tonight's at the place we started
# It's a long way back from "sorry" But here I go
# How does it feel? How does it feel?
# Just tell me something... #
Yesterday, when Kady stopped Zach kissing her,
Zach reckoned she showed him some serious cheek.
To be fair, she showed him a bit of cheek,
but it was mainly the back of her head.
Anyway, it's all forgotten now, because a new day is dawning.
# Can we just sort it out for real?
# Cos I could be at yours on Friday
# Tonight's at the place We started... #
Looks like he's a character in Top Gun, with them sunglasses.
LAUGHTER
How you feeling, you and Ella? All feel good, yeah. Buzzing.
Yeah, me too.
Couple goals. Thanks, guys, appreciated.
Why has Zach got eight pillows behind him?Cos he's a pillow man.
LAUGHTER
Pillow man.
Kady, how did you sleep?
Yeah, I actually slept the best last night that I've slept. Whoo!
Yay! I think it's the eye mask, you know.
See you in a bit, princess. See you later.
Ow!
# Cos I could be at yours on Friday Tonight's at the place we started
# It's a long way back from "sorry" But here I go
# How does it feel? How does it feel?
# Just tell me something. #
SAMMY: All right, then, boys. Ty, new day.
Yeah, I feel like the date deffo brought us closer,
gave us a taste of what we'd be like on the outside, and...
Yeah, man, I'm happy, bro. Woke up happy. I'm good...
Don't regret anything? Don't regret nothing, no.
Tried to explore, tried to do what I came to do.
I think you tried everything you could, mate.Literally.
I've known that since day one, closed off now.
Life's like a fairy tale. It's crazy.
Ella, are you still on cloud nine? Yeah, guys.
COOING So cute!
I genuinely cannot believe
that he's managed to get to that point.
Like, I'm so happy.
Yeah, I'm glad he did it off his own back
and not because I forced him to. Yeah.
Agreed, yeah.
Because I don't wanna force any guy, d'you know what I mean?
I think he's the type of person,
if you forced him or put pressure on him,
he'd freak out and go the other way.
Yeah, definitely.
So you've definitely handled it so well. Yeah.
How are you feeling, Kady?
I think I feel more awkward than Zach does about it.
I thought he'd still be, like, mourning Molly.
I didn't think he'd kiss me straight away.
I really was taken aback.
I didn't think he was gonna try and kiss me.
No, definitely feeling Kady. Be lying if I said I wasn't.
It looks like it's going in the right kind of direction.
She's defo feeling you, mate, so...
Yeah, man, I haven't felt like that in a long time.
How do you feel this morning?
Basically, he still said that we're open
to getting to know other people,
but yeah, we're just starting afresh.
Obviously I know deep down, though, but I was like, "OK!"
WAILING
We'll get to know other people. Yay!
Because you don't want to! No!
But did you say that to him? No, I didn't, I didn't.
Why not? I know.
Yeah, I literally didn't say it.
You're just trying to be cool and you're like, yeah...
I'm trying to play cool like the baddie,
so I gave him that, "Cool, love that, it is what it is."
D'you know what it is with Whitney, yeah?
I feel like Whitney defo downplays about how she feels about you.
Yeah. I think so, too.
But when she talks to us, or anyone else,
we can proper see how she likes you,
but I feel like once she goes to have a conversation with you,
she doesn't really get off her chest how much she actually likes you.
That's the thing. I can relate to her that way,
cos I find it difficult to talk about my feelings.
So do I.
She clearly likes you, bro. She's just playing it down a bit.
But I feel like you defo need to be patient with her, like.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Definitely I'm gonna take this into consideration.
Leah, how's you and Monts? Good.
I saw you snogging in the fire pit last night.
Were you? Yeah.
You know what's really funny is just before he kissed me,
he was like, complimenting my eyebrows,
like, I feel like it came out of nowhere.
It was like, "You have really nice eyebrows,"
and then he just kissed me.
That was a tactic for him to get close to you.
And I was just laughing cos I was like,
as if that's a compliment you give me before you kiss me!
But no, things are going really good.
What about you?
Things are going really good with Jess, I can't lie.
Had a bit of a cuddle last night, tiny bit of one.
What about you, Jess?
Oh, I'm fine.
LAUGHTER Are you sure?
Yeah, I just... I don't think you're fine.
I'm trying to move past the Sammy situation,
but I just keep bringing myself back to it.
Did you know that him and Mel kissed on the terrace?
They kissed loads in bed as well.
They're next to me, and all I could hear...
SMOOCHES
SHE LAUGHS
What about things with Mitch, though?
If he kisses me, I think I do the same as you, Kady.
I don't think I'm ready for that.
With me, it's because, like, I can see myself kissing him, though.
But can you see yourself kissing Mitch?
Maybe. I don't believe you.
If you had a magic wand and you and Sammy could go back,
and forget everything that happened, just be coupled up,
would you use that magic wand?
Yeah. I think that says it all.
.
IAIN: Tyrique promised Ella a delicious, hearty breakfast,
but he can't find that pesky Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle anywhere,
so she'll have to make do with some eggs.
It's good I got my chef, I can't even cook.
What, are you cooking it for your girls?
Yeah. Youse are so cute.
Can you get out the kitchen, please? You lot making me shy.
Ty, I've never seen you shy.
Being in the kitchen with Zach,
you would have thought life would go like that?
Yesterday I was an open man,
now I'm closed off and I'm whipping out scran.
Got eggs in the frying pan.
Do you reckon they like their eggs flipped, or...?
I can't lie, they're getting what's given, bro, it'll be wrong.
It's a nice day.
Presentation crazy. My brother, is that Ramsay?
What are you doing in the kitchen? I'm cheffing it up for you.
Is it? Yeah. Aw.
We're going on a double date. Aw, cute.
Coffee for you, Kady. Thank you. Oh, my God, guys.
Oh, my God, so cute. They're spoiling us.
I thought, "You know what, closed off,
"celebrate with some breakfast."
Thank you, so cute.
Ty and Zach made me and Kady breakfast.
How cute? Like, who is he?
This is not the guy I met on the first day.
He's turning into a lover boy.
Who made you that? Scott and Ty made it.
My name's Zach, Kady.
Huh? My name's Zach.
Did I say Zach? You said Scott.
Oh, my God.
I swear to God, it's giving me a nostalgic vibe, series two.
Is that why?
That's why you don't make people breakfast
because they just throw it back in your face. Oh, my God.
This looks so nice, thanks. Thank you.
Nice little power up for the day.
This is actually so good. It actually is, whose idea was this?
My idea. Zach's hands.
Who would have thought, like, not kissing someone back
and then you get breakfast the next day?
Actually worked out great.
IAIN: Last night in bed,
Sammy performed act three of The Marriage Of Figaro
while juggling six flaming torches.
I don't know what happened in the middle of the night,
but... it was crazy.
You're so entertaining. I know. You make me laugh.
At least I entertain you.
Yeah, it's fun.
It was a nice little kiss last night.
I say little, it went on for about half an hour.
Half an hour? Surely not. Maybe half an hour. It was nice.
Got a bit heated. Did it? I was like, "Whoa."
Need to take these covers off me. Ew! Yeah, no, it was nice.
Only joking.
My head was a bit all over the place with the whole Jess, Mal...
I didn't know what I was doing. But, yeah, I feel like
last night was a big step forward for me and Mal.
Yeah, happy days. I'm excited.
IAIN: Mal wants to know if Sammy's ever been stung.
Well, there was that one time he gave his bank account details
to a Nigerian prince who claimed to have won the lottery.
Have you ever been stung?
Yeah, I've been stung loads. It's horrible.
Where'd you get stung? First time, yeah, I was a kid.
One got under my T-shirt, and then I just went bang.
It stung me and it stung my hand. It was like a double kill.
Double whammy? Insects just hate me.
TEXT ALERT Oh, shit. I got a text!
Oh, my God.Oh, no. Oh, great (!)
HE READS
CATHERINE LAUGHS
Whoo! Get the Vaseline out, boys.
SHRIEKS, MONTEL SPLUTTERS
I'm not trying to kiss anybody today.
That's the challenge I've been dreading.
Challenge accepted. Ty's so excited.
He's thinking, "Yes! I've got the green card. Yes!"
Got to kiss everyone. What a shame (!)
Peck, babes. Pecks only.
It's time for the kissing challenge. You know what time it is.
Nah, very sad, trust me.
# Ooh-ooh, I see a lipstick I wanna
# Ooh-ooh, I wanna kiss it... #
I've got coffee breath. LAUGHTER
Are you ready, Scott? Oh, yes, ready.
Listen to everyone laughing.
I'm a good kisser, still.
I know, my ting, I'm good, fam. I'm unreal.
I'm gonna be like... Whit controls the situation.
LAUGHTER
Zach, I've heard you're a good kisser.
I'm gonna give you a good little smooch.
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
If I get a low rating, I swear to God...
MITCHEL MAKES MUNCHING NOISES
You've been waiting for this one.
It's time for the kissing challenge. It's time for the kissing challenge.
# Kiss it, dancing together Music, no-one forever.. #
Everyone brushed their teeth?
My teeth are brushed, and I'm ready to go.
# Ooh, ooh. #
IAIN STIRLING: It's time for the kissing challenge.
You got this.
The girls asked for some lip gloss,
except for Kady, who's asked for a balaclava and a bargepole.
The girls will work their way down the line, kissing the boys,
who are wearing blindfolds and noise-cancelling headphones.
# Ooh, ah Just a little bit
A little bit more... #
That's a French kiss.
# Just a little bit You know what I'm looking for... #
Oh! Not the hand on the head.
# Ooh, ah Just a little bit
# I'll give you love You can't ignore... #
Our hosts will ask the boys to rate the kisser out of ten,
and the girl with the highest score wins.
So, Montel, what do you think of the kiss?
The lips were big, juicy.
There could have been a bit more conviction, but,
yeah, give it a seven.
Thought it was like solid seven. Yeah, it was decent enough.
I'm gonna give it an eight. Oh!
The tongue knew where to go. I'm gonna give it eight.
I feel like the person was a little bit nervous coming into it,
but once they got into their rhythm, it was OK.
I give it a six out of ten. Rocky start, but got into it a bit.
Started off well, then, I don't know, declined a little bit.
Wasn't bad, though. We'll go seven.
Good kiss, good lips. I'll go seven.
I feel like, going first in a challenge, as well,
you never know how, like, how hard everyone else is gonna go in.
You know what, I don't even need anyone's score
because I know I'm a good kisser.
Oh, my God, she's going in.
Mitch was giving teeth. Scott was giving...
He just wasn't giving.
# Cream on top of strawberries... #
That is passion. They're loving this.
# Cinnamon and raisin rum... #
Save the best for last.
One of the girls definitely had a little nibble on my lip.
Little vampire!
I'd have to give that, like, a nine.
Really good kiss. I'm gonna give nine out of ten.
Very good lips, very good kiss, so I'm gonna give it nine.
Nines all round.
# This was never the way I planned Not my intention
# I got so brave, drink in hand Lost my discretion
# It's not what I'm used to... #
Classy, classy. Classy.
It was very short and sweet. I'd have to give it eight, actually.
Very good potential, but I'm not a big fan of pecks.
GIRL GIGGLES
That kiss felt like home. I feel like I know who it was.
Loved it. Ten out of ten.
The kiss seemed very loyal. I feel like a four out of ten.
I definitely held back.
If I came in full swing,
I definitely would have won the challenge.
At least she got a ten out of ten.
I'm glad he knew it was me. He's right, it did feel like home.
Felt like home when I kissed him, too.
# When you look at me Tell me what do you see?
# This is what you get It's the way I am... #
Oh, wow.
# Don't play the games That you're playing
# Cos you know That I won't run away... #
He's trying to enjoy.
# Why aren't you asking me To stay... #
I think there's a wee bit much tooth.
I felt like our teeth were hitting off a bit.
Think I just got attacked and nearly fell over.
Was a good kiss. Ten out of ten.
That could have been, like, maybe the best one yet.
Juicy, passionate, and naughty. I'm gonna give it a strong eight.
I would be lying if I said I didn't like it. Good eight.
Can't dance, but I can kiss.
# She's got her lipstick on Here I come... #
Oh, look, this is long.
# Lipstick on, hit and run... #
Oh, OK! OK!
Oh, my God.
# Check my collar, collar Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey... #
As in, he knows who this isn't.
Good lips, good amount of tongue. Say nine out of ten.
That was a very good kiss, I'm gonna give it a nine.
Pissed.
Just the right amount of wetness but not too wet.
Ew!
I'm gonna give that kiss a nine out of ten.
Too detailed!
Who'd have thought in this heat,
something could make me a little bit hotter?
Definitely enjoyed it. I'm gonna say 7.5.
Did I try? No, I'm just a natural.
You know what, Scott should have given me a ten.
What were you unsure about?
Let's go. Go on, go.
You've got this. Snog your life away.
That was a friendly one.
That's unfinished business.
Give that a ten out of ten.
GASPS
Hopefully it's the right person.
I think he thought I was Leah. SHE LAUGHS
That's awkward, innit?
You can't be so sure when you're blindfolded, babe.
Just the right amount of tongue, I give it an eight out of ten.
I think that's the best kiss I've had, perfect.
I'm gonna give it a ten out of ten.
Yeah, I'll be real.
The person just kissed me just then is talented.
I've got a lot of time for that. Nine out of ten.
God, Jess.
Everything a man looks for in a kiss.
Lips were gliding, tongues were connecting.
That was nice. I'm gonna give it a nine.
The whole time I was stood there, like,
I have no idea who just kissed me. I have absolutely no idea.
I'm gonna have to say that's probably my favourite one yet.
A strong 8.5.
I could almost taste the...
Not taste, but I could feel a little bit of lip filler.
Damn, what an incredible kiss, I can't lie.
# My first kiss Went a little like this
# And twist... #
Read it. Read out.
She's so cute.
Just get in the rhythm. Get in a rhythm.
Oh, Ty. He got a little something more.
LAUGHTER
That's nice.
Zach was last but definitely not least.
I had to give him something a little bit more
than the rest of the guys,
but just a little taster of what to expect.
Can't really give anything more than like a five out of ten.
I'm still waiting for the kiss. So five.
LAUGHTER
He, like, went...
And I literally thought I was gonna laugh in his face,
so I don't even think I kissed him.
By the time I leant in, she was gone.
Left me stood here like this.
For that reason, it's getting a big fat one.
LAUGHTER
Good lips, good tongue usage. I'm gonna go 7.5.
IAIN: Kady's kissing was rubbish,
but Sammy still wanted to give her one.
I don't get men. Anyway, here's the results.
In last place, with 31.5 points is Kady.
APPLAUSE Yeah!
IAIN: In fifth place is Ella,
followed by Leah in fourth place and Whitney in third place.
And it's over to Catherine to announce our winners.
In joint second place with 59.5 points
is Catherine and Mal.
APPLAUSE
In first place, and our top snogger,
with 62.5 points is...
Jess!
APPLAUSE
# Kissing strangers... #
IAIN: After the challenge, tongues are wagging.
Not as much as Mehdi's tongue was wagging during it.
That is literally not possible.
How does everyone feel after that challenge?
Hot.
I need mouthwash. Yeah.
I just tried to give them all just two pecks,
but some of them were just quick with their tongues.
Yeah, I didn't tongue anyone.
It's mad how you can just, like... Like, I just knew it was Ella.
As soon as our lips touched, I knew it was Ella.Yeah, that's crazy.
What you said was that it felt like home, or something.
Yeah, it felt like home. Good line, that. I like that.
What did Ella do to you lot? Just kiss? Like...It was PG, so...
It were that bad, bro. She came up to me, went like that...
Shook your hand? LAUGHTER
I was like, "What?!" Shook my hand and walked off.
The worst kisser for me was Mitch.
Mitch, he literally went in with a vengeance.
My worst was Scott and my top was Zach.
Worst was Mitch and Scott. Like, both come joint bottom.
I'm gonna be real, my favourite kiss was Ella.
But after Ella, I'd say Jess. Jess was decent.
She was my highest score, know what I'm saying,
so it does say something. Jess's one had potential to be crazy.
I reckon Mal's going to get onto me
for not giving her a higher score, though.
At the end of the day, I rated each one what I honestly thought,
right then and there.
Yeah. I feel like, see with me and Kady, though, we had, like...
She kissed me, I'd say, two... CLICKS TONGUE
..but it was everything. It was there.
How did you feel with Montel thinking that Jess was you?
Did he think Jess was me? Yeah. Jess!
I mean, Jess is top snogger. I'd give Jess a 10, by the look of it.
So I'm like, "You go, girl."
I love a smooch. I'm such a smoocher.
We all kissed each other.
Ain't it saliva stays in your mouth, I think, how many days?
Don't, don't, shush.
Shall we all go brush our teeth? ALL AGREE
Great plan, Leah.Brush your teeth! I need mouthwash.
IAIN: There was a kissing contest at my uni,
and the judges all agreed
I brought something to it that nobody else did.
Halitosis. I was disqualified.
How you feeling? Top snogger! I'm just laughing.
But the thing is, though, I didn't even try. Was I kissing for long?
No, you're a natural, babe.
I think, yeah. I knew you'd win. Really?
Cos you've been saying you're a good kisser. You love a snog.
Montel was a good kisser. Yeah! Guys, he shocked me.
That was, like, I was enjoying that. Really? Yeah, I enjoyed that.
I honestly felt like Montel was such a good kisser.
Even with me, like, all the boys, I didn't really give them anything,
but only Montel - he gave a little back. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. Like, it wasn't... It was like a sexy kiss.
There was no tongue, but it was still a good kiss. Yeah.
As if he thought I was Leah! Oh, yeah, he thought you were Leah!
Guys, Leah looked pissed. Yeah, she did. Leah looked pissed.
Yeah, she did. Was the kiss with Sammy good?
Yeah. He said - he was like, "Good lips, good, like...
"This is what you want from a woman."Really?
He rated you higher than Mal, didn't he? How do you feel?
Amazing! THEY LAUGH
Well, how could I not? Guys, come on.
No, you're a winner. You deserved to win. Yeah.
IAIN STIRLING: The Islanders are getting ready for another night.
In case you're wondering which shampoo
our favourite Frenchman uses, it's Mehd And Shoulders.
Sorry, it's been a long day.
# If I do say so myself, you're gone
# Even if I do say so myself, You're gone... #
Mitch, what's that saying?
What have you done?! What you done?!
Why have I got... why have I got a line?
THEY LAUGH
# Don't say love if that's not What you're chasing... #
Girls, just getting to that point now...
You don't fancy him? No, girls.
Why do I do this to myself?
Just tell him, babe, because he's starting to fancy you.
She wants Sammy.
# Tell me something's wrong
# I feel like I just can't be myself... #
What you thinking tonight then, boys?
I don't think any drama's gonna happen, I feel like the girls,
and obviously the boys, handled the challenge quite well.
We love that you're a top snogger, Jess. I know.
Well, it had to be one of us.
So, who's gonna be snogging on the terrace tonight?Kady.
Sort of just take this night as it comes,
obviously chat to Kady a little.
No kisses? Nah, bro.
What about you, mate?
Probably going to, er, grab Mal for a chat.
If that's all right? That's all right, mate.
Yeah, better be, an' all. Cos I'm gonna do it anyway.
# I just need something that's real
# I need, I need, I need
# I just need something that's real
# Don't say love if that's not What you're chasing... #
Cheers to all you wonderful people, making friendships and connections.
Cheers!
# I need, I need, I need, I need
# I just need something That's real. #
IAIN: Last night, I offered Mehdi a nibble of my whopper,
he got very annoyed, turns out he hates food in the bedroom.
No, food in the bedroom is like red flag. Oh...
It's not even a red flag, it's like...
No, you've gotta try it one day.
..it's like animal type of behaviour.
It's... Do you know what?
I would be lying if I said it's not a shout.
It be a shout.
Ah... and then what, you have like... Takeaway, like...
Hold on, if you tell me that you have takeaway in your bed,
I'm out of this fire pit.
We need... We said we wanted honesty only.
Yeah, but like... Go for it, say it.
Like... If you say Chinese...
SHE SQUEALS AND LAUGHS
Come back! SHE LAUGHS
Oh... THEY LAUGH
IAIN: Hey kids, the next chat is brought to you by the letter T,
the number seven and the colour blue.
How are you? Not bad. You?
Are you gonna tell me how you're feeling?
How am I feeling? Yeah.
I mean, I would, but... What? We're not arguing.
We're not gonna argue.
The thing between me and you is the fact that, like,
neither of us shut the door, we didn't have a say in it,
so it's like...
I feel like things could have...
Then I started feeling like, do I owe it to us? It's like...
I completely understand your point of view.
Obviously, like, I have put it on hold,
because I genuinely do feel like there is something there,
but obviously if you want to kind of close that one down,
then I completely understand that.
What is the situation with Mitch and stuff?
With the Mitch situation, like,
because we've already got that friendship there,
I feel like when you've got that friendship with someone,
in a place like this, it's hard to kind of force a romance.
Go past it?
Yeah, and even though, like, I am trying,
I have been true to myself to say that I have tried,
but it is quite difficult and I genuinely feel like
when there's someone in here who I genuinely do have
a strong connection with, that I'm seeing every single moment
of every single day, it is really difficult.
I haven't spoken to him, but I just, like...
little things have kind of, like, coming up and I... yeah,
I generally feel like I have tried,
and I generally don't see that there is...
Anything. ..there's gonna be anything.
What do you wanna do?
What do I want to do? Yeah.
Do you want to start closing yourself off,
or still want to get to know me? I think I'm still open.
I think everyone's still open, d'you know what I mean?
I've only been here for, like, a fucking week or whatever.
I don't know. Mm.
But I am enjoying, like, chatting, getting to know you as well,
cos I think you're entertaining, and it's fun.
Obviously, I've known Mal
for literally like, six days or something,
like she's getting to know other people as well,
so I'm not in a position to say, like, "Oh, it's just Mal."
I'm not here to kind of, like, step on your toes,
you know what I mean? No, no, no.
If that's what you want to do, then fine,
but I'm not coming in and intruding.
But I'm glad things are going well with you and Mal.
Youse look like you get on. Yeah, no, we do.
You've got to do what you got to do.
I just think I need to think about it a little bit.
All right, well,
you have to do what you have to do for yourself,
so I'll just leave you to it. And then you can... decide.
I would definitely say there is unfinished business
between me and Sammy.
I do feel like we kind of come to an agreement
that we're still both open to get to know each other,
so I feel like it would be fair for us
to kind of give it another go.
Are you all right? Mm-hm.
You seem a bit agitated. Yeah, I wanted to talk to you.
OK. Cos I've had a lot on my mind,
and I'm just gonna be brutally honest.
I don't feel like it's going anywhere.
I just feel like the friendship that we've got is so strong,
but I feel like I just can't really at the moment
see us pushing past that friendship stage.
No, I respect that.
And I look at you as, like, my best mate in here.
Even though we've got a great friendship,
I feel like I have tried.
I think if it was earlier, it would have been different,
but I feel like cos we formed such...
Nearly a month.
Yeah, I feel like we've got past that.
The thing is, in my opinion,
I'd have probably given it a day or so, personally.
It might have for me... Yeah.
..but obviously you've been thinking about it
last couple of days,
and Jess, this doesn't ruin any friendship.OK.
This just puts it back to friendship vibes.Yeah.
What's your thoughts on Sammy?
Erm, basically, I just pulled him and said,
"Look, this is how I'm feeling,"
like obviously we've been put in a situation
where we had to get to know other people,
and I feel like we hadn't really got out
how we was genuinely feeling. Yeah.
And he basically just said that, like,
even though he's got something good going with Mal,
he still wants to get to know me. Does he?
So I kind of, yeah, but like,
I just said to him, "OK, that's fine,"
I'm just gonna let him do what he's going to do.
I'm not gonna... chase.
I tried to believe and tell myself that it could go somewhere,
but deep down I generally feel like it is just friends,
which is unfortunate, cos I do have a lot of love for him,
but I think it's probably best if we do stay as friends.
IAIN: Mehdi can't wait to get out of the villa
so he can take Whitney to a little French bistro he knows.
It's the Delice de France
just off platform three in Clapham Junction.
Railway humour!
But I'm saying, obviously in here, you've got it easy...
Get ready to adapt, make friends, have dinners.
Yeah, you need to understand in my real life, baby,
I'm back now. LAUGHTER
He doesn't give a fuck!
I think she doesn't understand who I am, you know.
I feel like Mehdi can't keep up. We have to be outside together.
I feel like me and you could be there,
and they would be there doing their thing.
Hey!
You think we're gonna go out together, like on a double date?
We should do it, like... Hell no.
LAUGHTER
Hell to the no! Will you go on a double date?
No, no, no. Why?
Why? You don't double date? I don't double date in a club.
No, not in a club. Like, in restaurants, bars, that vibe.
OK, OK. Fine, fine, fine.
I like that kind of vibe cos it's not, like, too intense. Yeah.
If I get some time, yeah, I'll come.
Babe, you'll have time.
IAIN: Sammy's not impressed with someone's outfit.
He reckons it's a wardrobe "Mal"-function.
Is this meant to be an outfit, or have you just sort of...
What do you mean, is this meant to...? Well, no, like...
No, it's a costume. Did you, like, put this together, or, like...?
Yeah, so, it's supposed to be like this. This is a two-piece.
And then I put this cos it was cool. Do you know what I mean?
I like it. You looked really sad when I was walking over.
I looked really sad? Were you just in deep thought?
Nah, Jess pulled me for a chat.
She was just pretty much saying that she's not really feeling Mitch,
and she just feels me. And then I just kind of said, like,
obviously me and you aren't closed off. But...
Need to sort of know where you're at as well.
THEY LAUGH
Or just don't even tell me.
OK. Fuck knows. Think it's going well.
Really? Yeah.
So, I know, obviously, there's, like... history.
All you need to know, Mal, like... Sammy.
I really, like, genuinely, like, do think we're getting on well.
Without sounding like way, way, far in advance,
I'm not gonna explore something
unless I can see something with someone else. Yeah, yeah.
I genuinely can with you.
Right, OK, so, first things first. I spoke to Sammy.
He's really happy with the way things are going with Mal, he said,
but it would be unfair on him if he kind of told me he was unavailable
because he feels like he should give us the chance...OK, yeah.
..to still get to know each other. Whatever.
But I'm not gonna add pressure onto that.
I probably will give him a little bit of, like...
What I will say is that the perfect thing for you to do
in this situation is be a realist.
Like, expect the best out of the situation and also accept the worst.
100%. Anyway, so, I pulled Mitch and told Mitch,
and I just basically said to Mitch, "Sorry, babe, but it just ain't..."
It ain't that. And he completely understood.
I feel so much better because I feel like I've just...Off-loaded. Yeah.
I feel so much better. And you know what?
Even if, like, there's no-one in here now,
at least I know I've been true to myself.Yeah! Period.
And you tried. And you tried. Yeah.

SHE GASPS SHARPLY
THEY GASP
SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
For fuck sake.
Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh!
# Love really hurts without you. #
WHITNEY:Oh, for fuck's sake.
# Why don't we just let it go
# Even though you'll always be Part of me...? #
No!
I'm fine, really.
Don't worry, don't worry.
# I think we should let it go... #
Don't give up. I'm sad that it was you.
THEY SIGH
Whitney. Mehdi.
Hey.
How you feeling? Sad.
How are you feeling? Sad.
I'm really sad. I know.
I feel like we were getting there. Yeah.
Even though we had bumps, I feel like...
you were working to get there, and I was working to get there. Yeah.
That's the game. You know? Yeah, yeah.
My time has come.
You're here to find love.
Go for it. You know, don't be sad.
Because you never know
when it's the last time you get the chance to be here. So...
Enjoy your friends, and enjoy whoever walks in.
But I'll miss you so much. I know, I'll miss you too.
I'll miss you so much. Don't be sad. Don't be sad.
# Its a hard pill to swallow Falling out of love
# Always thought that tomorrow Had a place for us... #
Are you OK?
Yeah. No, I am. I am.
You walk in... I'm sad because... I'm not leaving because I'm single.
So that's hard. Yeah.
We were together. We were getting there.
Maybe it wasn't gonna work, we don't know, but... Yeah.
..at least we tried.
Yeah.
# Let it go
# Even though you'll always be Part of me... #
Am I invited to France? You can come to France, obviously.
I mean, am I invited to France with you?
You are invited to France with me, of course.
All right. But think about you first, here.
SHE GROANS
OK. Come on. SHE SIGHS
By the way, you've got this. You do. Mm-hm.
Are you upset, then? No, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm sad to be separated from you. But I'm not upset. I'm grateful.
Ugh. The dumping tonight was... It was brutal.
Like, oh, it was so sad.
We just, like... We just, like, we started...
I don't wanna do this.
# So I hold on tight
# To something That might never change... #
I'm not good at goodbyes.
I loved Mal.
She just had the biggest, bestest, most positive energy.
I really enjoyed it. Everyone was so great. And it was fun.
Mal made me smile. ALL AGREE.
And that's what you've left in this villa.
# More than friends Less than lovers
# Never mine to lose... #
But you know what? That was the best experience of my life.
Mehdi brought a different dynamic to the villa.
In a day and age where a lot of people are fake, man,
being real is a brave thing,
and I respect that more than anything, man.
Mehdi is somebody that I really cherish and I'm glad I met,
and I look forward to seeing this guy when I'm out.
When I walked here, I was looking for something.
Maybe I found it. Take care of Whitney.Of course.
What the fuck? What am I supposed to do now?
You're here for a reason. People look at you and people smile.
Like, I just hope you know you're everyone's heart in here.
Like, you're my heart as well.
Like, I don't, obviously, like to see you upset, Whitney.
I know it's fucking hard. Everything happens for a reason.
You know, if it's meant to be, it will be.
I'm such a true believer in that.
Knowing Mehdi, he'll just want you to be happy.
You all right? I'm actually fine, you know.
Yeah? Yeah.
It's very shit. I mean, gotta keep going!
Mal brought, like, a big personality, bubbly, happy.
There definitely was something special between us,
and it's gonna feel very different without her.
A lot quieter, I think.
Thank you. I had so much fun. You made me laugh loads.
Thank you, everyone, for making me feel like you guys were my family.
Um... HE LAUGHS
We have highs and lows, but focus on the highs.
There's more highs than lows. So, yeah. And I'll miss you every day.
APPLAUSE
# If you never choose
# More than friends Less than lovers
# Never mine to lose... #
Do I look French? Yeah. You look French.
Au revoir, everyone. I love you all. Faut y aller!
APPLAUSE
Leaving the villa single is obviously bittersweet
because I had a connection with Whitney
and I feel like it could go somewhere.
But it has been amazing, and I have no regrets.
I was getting closer to Sammy,
and I do genuinely feel like there was something there.
Like, we got on so well. We laughed so much.
It was a really great experience.
