Season five of Love Island Australia is in full swing. Roll the recap.
# Don't fight the feelings Feelings... #
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Well, for starters, we dropped ten superhot, smoking,
'sexy singles into a stunning Spanish villa.'
CHEERING
'They coupled up.'
Trent and Tia.
Zac and Savannah.
Ben and Tyra.
Ollie and Kirra.
Nate and Nakia.
'Then, because it's the spicy era, we added not one...'
Let's get this party started!
She is more than welcome to take me from my couple.
'..not two...' Kirra, how are you?
'..but three bombs.' Yo, yo, yo, what's going on?
Damn, Kale is so freaking hot.
'It's been mucho...'
I just feel upset and disrespected.
'..MUCHO spicy.'
You slept with my sister.
Yes. CHEERING
'Recap done. Can we start with the episode now, Soph?'
I'm not the only one that can hear that voice, right?
# Stronger than you think I am Ain't no holding back
# Haters throwing shade I ain't got time for that. #
'Last time on Love Island Australia...'
# Slay You know this is how I act
# On my job As a matter of fact... #
'Sparks for Trent and Sav.'
Who knows, it could get pretty spicy between us,
I think there's nothing off limits.
You want to impregnate me?
'Zac snaked Lucinda from Nate.'
I just am a bit of a snake in the grass.
'And new boy Kale romanced besties Nakia and Tyra.'
It's like a little schoolgirl crush on you.
Do you feel like you're, like, emotionally in tune?
I think I'm very emotionally intelligent.
I haven't felt this feeling in the villa yet.
I'm in, like, deep, deep trouble here.
'Tonight:
'Nakia and Tyra compete over Kale.'
I was really hoping that Kale and Tyra
would just hit it off as friends.
I kind of wished their date sucked.
'Before one little text...'
"Tonight, there will be a re-coupling."
'..has the Islanders...'
I feel so sick.
'..in chaos.'
Puts me in a very sticky situation.
I won't be emotionally manipulated.
That's not who I am. Yeah.
'And it's all leading...'
For one of you, tonight is the end of the road.
'..to a massive dumping shock.'
# I've got to love... #
What made you pick me?
Last night, your eyes definitely jumped out at me, your face.
I thought you were really stunning.
Obviously, like, you're smoking hot. I think I'm pretty misunderstood.
Aw, he's misunderstood. HE LAUGHS
Hello, hello, hello. Holding hands.
What's going on? What can you do but laugh it off?
It was an amazing date.
I'm in, like, deep, deep trouble here.
Like, really deep trouble.
Tell us all. Yeah. So, how was your date?
It actually went really well.
GASPING Ah!
Like, really good. Yeah?
And it's, like, absolutely thrown me.
But I know that he is much more your vibe and your type.
And so I'm gonna let you guys do your thing.
SHE LAUGHS
Because I don't know if it's just him
having a really good energy and,
you know, being able to hold such good conversation.
I don't know if it was a me-and-him thing.
Cos, obviously, you guys have that, too.Yeah.
Or if it's just him.Yeah. Like, do you know what I mean?
Oh, my God. But what if it's not?
Fuck, I don't know. Do you know what I mean?
It's absolutely thrown me.
It did worry me a little bit that Tyra and Kale's date was so good.
But then again, I also haven't heard Kale's side of the story either.
So I'm definitely keen to pull him and ask how it went and...
yeah, get the 411.
How was your first date?
Bro, I was like, fucking...
Like, the first one, it went so well.Yeah.
And I was like, "Sweet, like, this is crisp."
Like, that's... Whatever. Yeah.
And then, like, the second one came along
with your, like, little missus at the moment.
And I could tell we were both sort of hoping it went shit.
Yeah. Yeah.Which one did you get on better with?
Oh, honestly man, it's fucking tough.
Nakia still caught my eye first. Yeah.
And I've still spent, like, the most time with her.Yeah.
Then, them two being best friends makes it a bit more tricky.
You make it fucking tricky. Yeah, nah, you do.
Knowing that Tyra and Kale's date went well,
of course it's a bit of a punch in the stomach,
when it's someone you're coupled up with
and someone that you get along very well with.
It's absolutely thrown me. I'm actually not that surprised.
Really? I'm surprised.
I just think that you are lovely and that you are really cool.
And I think that he's lovely and... He's just very chill.
Well, I'm more surprised in the fact that, like, you know, Ben and you...
So, how do you feel about that now?
Well, that's the thing. That's why it's fucking thrown me.
Cos I feel like I've had better conversation with Kale
than I have with Ben.
OK.Obviously, like, Ben's just this sweet angel boy who I, you know...
Very positive all the time.
But then maybe that's not what you want.
Maybe you don't want a sweet angel boy.
Anyway, I need some serious time in my mind palace today.
And just figure out what the fuck is going on.
I don't even know!
I can't even put it into words
how my brain is feeling right now.
I honestly can't.
How were your dates?
Yeah, it was good fun. One of 'em is right there.
WHISPERS:Was it good? Yeah, it was good.
But that one just sort of...
Throw you off a bit. Yeah, yeah.
Like, I wasn't expecting it to... It threw her off a bit.
Yeah. I think we both sort of feel the same.
She was like, "I've had better chats with you
"in the last, you know, like, couple hours
"than I have with Ben this old time."
Oh, fuck! How fucked is that?
Did I say that too loud there? They're like right there.
Yeah, maybe whisper a bit. Just sit here. Yeah.
I would be, too.
How was it? It was really good.
Yeah. No, he was telling me. What did he say?
He was basically saying that Nakia is his number one.OK.
But doesn't mean he's, like, closed off at all.
He said it would be, like, a no-brainer
to get to know Nakia. Cos Nakia is pretty much one
that's, like... "I'm never second best."
Yeah. She's made that clear to everyone.
OK. That's... Yeah, that helps me.
That he... Yeah, OK.
I think I'm slightly disappointed that Kale's chosen me as his second.
I think that there was a part of me that really wanted him to pick me,
to sort of pursue me as his... as his first.
But that's life and it's fine.
And I'm happy for him and Nakia.
Now that you've told me that he said, like,
Nakia is his, like, number one,
that is, like, so cool. That's really good.
Yeah. And...
Well, obviously, like, you like him as well.
He is cool, so you're conflicted. Well, we have...
You're pretty much conflicted.
I feel that she feels bad cos now she's in a position
where she doesn't want to hurt someone's feelings.
SHE SIGHS
That means for me, I've gotta be on my toes and careful
how I play my cards, I think.
# Where do we go from here? #
Do you wanna walk with me to the toilet?Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Aw, walks to the toilet
'are also my love language.
'Now to current partners Tia and Reid.
'She's clearly been getting closer to another guy.
'He's clearly been getting lied to in a hat store.'
How are you going? Going good.
I just feel like I wanna be open and honest with you,
and just say, like, I'm really feeling it with Nate at the moment.
Yeah.And I just don't wanna hurt your feelings, but, like,
I also need to be truthful to, like, where I'm at.
And, like, I just wanna communicate that to you.Yeah.
'I think Tia and Nate are a good match.'
She definitely holds eye contact with him a lot better.
From my experience with her, she was...
Something else was a little bit more interesting than what I was saying.
Mm-Hmm. Mm-Hmm.
'I hope I can find someone myself as well.'
So I wish them the best, but I wish me a little bit...
a little bit better.
Does that mean we're friends at the moment?Yeah.
OK, cool. Thank you. Thank you. That's OK. That's OK.
Let's go join everyone.
All right, here we go. This is so good.
I can taste my face mask, I don't think it's normally meant to...
It's meant to taste like aloe vera. How does yours taste?
Coming to have a chat.
Yeah. You wanna have a chat? Yeah.Let's do it.
Yeah, let's go for a chat. Let's go for a chat.
'Tia dumped Silly Pink Hat and is ready for a real hat,
'an alpha hat, a black and white hat of champions.'
Hello. How are you? Yeah, I'm going well.
I really want a pair of Crocs when I come out.
I think I'm gonna get the platform ones.
They go well, I feel like they suit this whole place.
Yeah. Nah. Yeah, absolutely.
Um, yeah, I just wanna chat to you cos I just, like, spoke to Reid.
And I just sort of, like, told him that... that, um,
I feel like I'm just friends with him
at the moment. With me?
Oh, with Reid. No, with Reid.
Yeah. Makes sense. Yeah. When you know, you just...
When you know, you know, type thing. Yeah.
Is that what you wanted to tell me? No, yeah...
But I just wanted to let you know that you're also, like...
I really wanna, like, get to know you a bit more.
Yeah.Because I feel like there's something there
and I just love being around you. Yeah.
Always just, like, you know, feel gravitated to you.
For sure. Yeah.
I'm glad you said that. I-I feel the same.
She was the girl that I had my eyes on
from the moment I walked in the villa.
'So definitely feels good.'
We had a conversation last night,
like, we obviously wanna, like, you know...
Take it... ..take it easy...
Take it... ..cos everything that's happened
in the past couple of days. Exactly, cos we see how things go.
And I still wanna do that, but, like, I think we both know.
I think we both know. Yeah.
I think we both know where we stand. Yeah.
No, we're on the exact same wavelength.Yay.
That's good to hear. Makes me happy.
That's good to hear. Give me a hug.
I'm sweaty, but... I know, I'm so sweaty!
Oh, let's jump in the pool.
I'm so sweaty right now. It's not even funny.
Honestly, being in here, you don't know how long you have.
And I feel like timing is such a big issue,
and I feel like if I'm feeling something now,
I'm just going to go with it.
And right now, like, I love being around Nate.
And I feel like, yeah,
let's see if this can progress into something more.
So, yeah...
# Having the time of your life
# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
# And they're falling tonight
# Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh... #
Oh, what are you trying to do?
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'On Love Island, you're free to be whoever you want,
'we don't care.
'Get sunburnt, we don't care!
'Wear feathers all day, we don't care!
'Be an inflatable flamingo, we don't care!
'Damage a shirt the show loaned you, we don't care!
'Ruin your glasses, we don't care.'
I don't look like a rugby player, dude?
Oh, that's hot.
'Get a chest tatt of an owl holding a clock inside a rose.
'It doesn't make sense, but we don't care.
'Kale's weekly meeting with fellow members
'of Hot Ankles Anonymous is interrupted by Nakia,
'who needs answers.'
You got a sec? I do got a sec.
'Imagine being so hungry for love
'that Kale could solve your problems.'
For sure. Lay? What?
Wanna go lay? Yeah.Cool.
Love it. Yeah.
They actually do look good together. Yeah, they do.
KALE SIGHS How was your date?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It did go really well.
Yeah.She definitely did, like, seem interested in me, I guess.
Yeah. 'I was really hoping
'that Kale and Tyra would just hit it off as friends.'
Low key, I kind of wish that their date sucked.
How was your date? Well, you were there!
Yeah, you know what I mean.
I had a really good date. I had a really good time.
Yeah. Like, honestly, I did.
I do really like talking to you and I enjoy being in your company,
and, um, just cos you had a good date with Tyra doesn't change that.
Yeah, sick.
It's like, I still think I'm more physically attracted to you.
Yeah.
Like, when I was sitting there with her, it was, like,
such a good chat and so flowy,
and everything was going really well.
But with you, I'm like,
"I just wanna rip her clothes off," sort of thing.
I think, um, this is the first time that I've, um...
..been happy with the situation in here.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah. Do you wanna go in the pool?
Yeah. Same.
I sort of want to kiss you first, though.
Oh.
Have you got a chewy? Mm-hm.
What flavour is that? Cherry.
You fucker. That tastes so good.
You wanna swim? Yep. Yep, yep, yep.
Pretty smooth from me. I've got some hectic rizz.
'Oh... I'm not gonna have any more gum.'
Never again.
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Send help!
'Savannah's being kidnapped by her highlights.'
Did you...? So you spoke to Ben?
Yeah, I spoke to Ben. Um, told him it was a good date.
He gave me the heads-up that, um,
Kale was, uh, more... Like, you were his favourite.
I was like, "Cool." That actually makes my life...
Wait, who gave you the heads-up, Ben?Ben did.
Oh...Of course Ben would give you the heads-up on that.
Nakia, have you spoken to...? Yeah, I just did then.
And what did he say?
Um, yeah, we've just had a chat, and he basically said, like,
yeah, he's not gonna lie, his date with, um, Tyra was really good.
"But, um, at this, like, stage,
"I still feel the same way as I did yesterday, like,
"you're my number one. And we had a really good chat,
"and, you know, I am not gonna lie about that either."
So that was basically it.
And then we had a little kiss.
WOMEN GASP Did you?!
Did you?! Oh, my God!
This is good. This is good. That is really good.
I'm so... I'm stoked for you.
I'm not put off by the fact that they kissed.
I-I think...
SHE SIGHS I don't know.
Was it a good kiss? Yeah, it was a really good kiss.
Yay! Oh, my God. That's so exciting.
Yeah. But are you upset about that, or not?
No, no, I'm not upset at all cos I'm happy for Nakia.
Tyra is such a good girl, like, to have as a friend.
Like, she was just so happy and supportive.
Overall, I don't think she'd be too upset about it.
You know, she's got a good thing going on with Ben and...
Yeah. I'm... I think she's all right.
'Nakia may be feeling a little cocky,
'and so are the boys.'
THEY CHEER
Oh, my God. What?
I just wanted to say, like, a huge thanks to everyone.
It's been so good getting to know everyone.
And I think it's a very rare experience
that we all get to be here.
I think we should make the most of that
and have a good night, and get to know each other a bit better!
CHEERING
# Mamacita, chiquita bonita
# Sexy senorita
# We make fiesta
# From Rio to St Tropez
# You are my party girl You are my party girl
# Everybody singing loud
# Oh, la-la-la
# Oh, la-la-la-la
# Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Your body, baby
# Shake, shake, shake Shake, shake... #
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Tyra's now hungry for intel,
'which she'll only get by grilling Kale.
'Tyra, your "wanna walk me to the toilet?" line
'worked on Ben earlier. Why not ask Kale for toilet paper?'
Tepee? Yeah. Yeah.
We can do that.
You look really nice, green's your colour, I reckon.
Oh, thank you so much. You look really good, too.
So, talk to me. How you feeling? How you doing?
Talking to you. I'm doing well. How do you feel?
Like, what do you think about today?
I felt so good about our date. Yeah.
Like, so good about it. Um...
I'm waiting for a "but" or an "until..."
No, no, no, no. But... SHE LAUGHS
See, I told you, I'm pretty good with this shit.
No, a couple people, a couple of the boys were, like,
"Yeah, he's, um..."
"He thinks of you more like as a friend."
So funny. So funny.
Someone else said that, yeah, you were like,
"Nakia is the girl and that's it." I was like, "Oh, like, it's fine."
Like, "I thought we had a really good date, but it's OK."
Oh! No, no, no. Like, it's fine. It's totally fine.
No, I know. Like, I know it's fine
because that's, like, bullshit, so whatever.
With you, I felt like every sentence you said,
I finished it and vice versa. Mm-Hm.
I feel like, I don't know, it was the most, like, aligned conversation
I'd had with a woman in ages.
I was super relieved to hear that he felt the same about our date
and, you know, the way we get along and stuff.
That was a big, big relief.
Chatting with you,
I honestly have had more in-depth, like,
conversations with substance.
I've had more with you than I had with Ben this entire week.
You have a really elegant-looking cartwheel.
Oh, that's nice. That was clean.
After that date, my head was... MIMICS EXPLOSION
Was it sort of like a, "Fuck!"? Like...?
It was like a "fuck". Yeah.
Like, a big "fuck".
Yeah, I know. It's like the biggest "fuck" ever.
'Kale and I were on the same wavelength about everything.'
Yeah, literally everything.
But then he's probably on the same wavelength
about everything with Nakia, too, so...
I don't know if I should feel special or not.
I was saying to the girls earlier, like, our date went so well,
but I... And, like, I think I would pursue you
if Nakia wasn't in the picture, obviously.
But, yeah, I told them I'll take a big old step back,
let you guys work out your thing.
I know it's not friend island,
but I really value Nakia,
and she's had a less lucky run
than I have in here so far. And I really wanna
at least give her the opportunity to explore that connection.
So, yeah, that was a good chat.
Thank you. No, no worries.
It's fine, it's fine. I'm so sweaty. Yeah. I know. Yeah.
Well, I'm glad we're on the same page.
Yeah, I'm really glad. OK, that's great.
How we've got along and how today went,
you don't just forget that, it doesn't just go away,
do you know what I mean? But...
Yeah, I'm gonna lock that one for now and see what happens.
But, yeah, not anytime soon, I don't think.
Hello.
Hey.
Think how beautiful your kids are gonna be.
Oh! I'm darker.
Different? It's different.
It's different tones. Yeah.
I would... I'm having a cuddle of your kids.
Yeah. They would be so beautiful.
I'm smelling your baby hair.
Curly hair, boobs, bum.
How are you feeling? Been pretty busy.
Nonstop talking. It's tiring.
How are you, how are you feeling?
Yeah, good. Everything in the villa's chilled right now.
I feel like you're just waiting for a bombshell to come in.
Well, yeah, cos I just don't have any options.
So I think it's important to have options if...
I actually will cry.
It's just so much.
Eh... I don't know.
I just... I just don't know at the moment.
It's been a big couple of days.
# I've been thinking through
# Days past... #
ZAC: We went to Santiago first, and then we went to Cusco...
Do you think you actually like me? Or do you think
I'm, like, the best option out of what you've got?
I think it's just this whole open-minded thing, like,
I wanna try to stay open cos it's so early.
'I don't feel liked by him right now.'
Like... Like, I know that he likes me
or he's attracted to me or whatever, but I'm not feeling like
he wants to actually, like, know me.
SNIFFLES I don't know.
# Where do the gone things go? #
Look at you!
I wanna couple up with Trent, like, ten out ten.
It means that we won't have to sleep outside
to get on the day beds just so we can sleep together.
So hopefully that happens soon. I'm just...
We're both waiting on it.
At the moment, like,
it's so frustrating cos it's... Like, you just...
I just want her to be in my bed, but...
# So I lay down in my bed... #
Ah! I'm hoping that soon we'll be sharing a bed.
# Where you're sleeping... #
We look good together in bed. We do.
Start re-coupling, please!
Imagine re-coupling and this is just a normal night.
Yeah. That would be exciting.
I'd love that.
Hey. Whoa!
Ollie's so funny.
Right now, I'm coupled up with Lucinda.
And there's probably no-one I'd least prefer to share a bed with
than Lucinda at this moment.
I'd love to share a bed with Tia
and just sort of get back on this ride of-of Love Island.
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Whoa, angsty moon.
'Welcome back to Love Island Australia.
'Wake up, it's sexy morning breath time!'
BOOMING YAWN
'Oh, who got Kale all over the couch?!'
Why is it so bright?
Like our future, babe.
SHE LAUGHS ..get used to it.
How'd you sleep?
Yeah, good, how'd you sleep? Couch sleep.
How are you?
# Your lips
# Got my eye on you... #
Like, I feel so refreshed today.
Morning. Morning. Morning.
Morning. How are you? Good. Good.
Good.
Does anyone want a coffee? I would kind of love one.
How do you like your coffee, Tyra?
Super sweet with a bit of milk, like, two sugars.
OK. Easy. Thanks.Easy.
Oh! Did you see that?!
That was, like, target reflex. Did you see that?
Yes, I saw that. THEY LAUGH
Is there any normal, like, cow's...? Yeah. Yeah.
Hell, yeah.
How do they get almond milk? How's that made?
They milk a nut, bro.
They just milk it? I don't know how they do it.
They can milk any nut nowadays. Yeah, yeah.
Do you want your coffee, Tyra, or you already made it?
Reid's onto it. Oh, OK. OK...
Bit slow. Slow to the eight ball.
We'll see who makes a better one.
Yeah.
'Tried to make Tyra coffee this morning.'
It was a bit late to it. Reid got there.
This is, uh... This is for Tyra, by the way.
Can I fit that in?
Thank you so much. Is it really hot?
It's sweet and hot, but it's nice. Thank you so much.
That's all right.
Reid's giving him a run for his money.
I'm-I'm kind of liking it.
That's a power move on Reid's behalf.
# This is love And I feel it for you
# Baby, this is love
# It feels so good Feels so real... #
How are we all?
What's the POA?
We should stay a little bit quiet
cos I feel like Tweedledum and Tweedledee are just there.
Kale's our guy, man. Yeah, he is.
He fits in with us perfect. He can read people.
That's... Cos I feel like you and I
are the only ones that can read people...
Guys, we're having a secret chat. Yeah.
So are we! Nah, let's go inside.
Yeah. Least we don't have to look at 'em any more.
Um, Benny boy... Do you reckon he can hear us?
Oh, who? Who cares?
Um, I feel like all he's talking about is, "Just need a bombshell,
"just waiting for a bombshell."
Wait, is he? He said that?!
He's been saying it all the time lately.
Like, do you actually like me
or am I just your best sort of option?
What's your gut feeling saying?
Do you think he actually likes you or do you think...?
No, I think that's why I'm questioning it.
I'm like, "I don't feel like you're making the effort
"to get to know me," but I don't know.
I'll just see how today goes.
I don't really feel like my situation even needs an explanation.
Obviously... Still not liking anybody?
No. Ollie and I are still very much friendship.
I feel like Ollie really cares about you, like...
Yeah, I think there's, like, a mutual respect.
I think we definitely have massive potential
for being really close friends. Yeah.
It just sucks being nobody's first choice.
But I won't give up.
Mama didn't raise a bitch or a quitter.
Oh, Ben, what are you doing?
Fuck.
LUSTY GROAN
Look at those arms. Am I seeing that right?
Oh, they are so hot.
All right. That's good.
# Better play along
# It's more than I can take From you... #
I feel like I'm in, like, a trance watching them.Right.
It's beautiful.
Should we move a bit closer? Yeah.
And just stare at them. Let's get a better view.
# I feel the same
# Ever feel the same as I do...? #
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Now Tyra's unsure about Ben,
'Reid's ready to make his move.'
Tyra, do you mind coming for a chat? Yes, I would love to.
Is that all right? I would love to, love to, love to.
'The ball is in his court, and also in his budgie smugglers.'
Ooh. OK. It's warm!
Get the Kath... Get the Kath and Kim walk going on.
I feel like it'd be crazy if Tyra coupled up with Reid,
but from what she says, it sounds like...
she's really not feeling Ben, like, a whole lot.
I appreciated the coffee. Was that just a friendly, like...?
To all the girls, "Do you want a coffee?"
Nah, that was more directed at you.
OK, perfect. "Is everybody...?" In bracket, Tyra.
Yeah. How's you and Ben going?
I don't know.
If it's not a "fuck yeah", it's a "no".
Did you hear me say that the other day?
No. Oh, my God. That is so weird.
I was literally, like, saying that the whole day,
the other day to Tia. Really?Yeah.
I've never heard anyone say that.
That is so weird.
It is very natural chat when I speak with Reid,
and just very light-hearted.
But still, you know, seriously getting to know each other.
It's always a fun conversation, I feel.
I don't know.
I feel like there's a girl coming soon, there has to be.
Yeah, definitely. Oh, my God. Are you going grey?
I am. You are?Yeah.
Oh, my God, you're an old man, Reid.
Don't say that!
Now, I'm only going grey in this side here.
Just through the right-hand side.
Do you like it? Oh, my God, like a silver fox.
Silver fox. I love that for you.
Shout it out. Oh, yeah. You're....
I'm going grey! SHOUT:Reid's going grey.
Yeah, they're into it. SHE LAUGHS
That's funny. Very funny.
The chat with Tyra is definitely a little bit of flirt going on.
What's that?
How come you didn't sweat at all? Look at mine!
Are you nervous? Clearly.
I get cute around nervous boys. I mean...
'She's a fun girl.' I enjoy chatting with her.
Like a princess.
HE GRUNTS
# We're not alone
# Right here is where we belong
# Take me now This fantasy here with me
# We're not alone... #
I've shared a bed with my best mate's girlfriend, heaps.
Yeah, I've done that. TEXT ALERT
Oh, guys, I got a text! THEY CHEER
I'm literally scared.
Oh, shit. OK, hang on.
SHE READS:
Oh! What?
Hashtag Who run the world? Hashtag Spice it up.
Oh, my God. Is there more guys than girls?
I feel so sick. This makes me nervous.
Oh, my fucking God. I feel so fucking ill.
The re-coupling text puts the villa in a very sticky situation,
and especially me.
Fuck.
I'm stressed, feel like Ben's stressed.
I feel like Tyra's stressed, obviously Kirra's stressed,
Reid's stressed, everyone's stressed.
# There's just no place to hide. #
# We'll stay
# As long as we don't let This moment go
# Make it something... #
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'In tonight's re-coupling, one boy will go home,
'or if he's entrepreneurial, start an Aussie-Spanish fusion bar,
'serving meat paella, sanga-gria and Tim Tam tapas. He'd kill it!'
Oh, we could sit there in the shade, actually.
Oh, yeah, perfect. Let's do that.Perfect.
'It shakes things up for sure.'
Fuck, I best be getting on my bike.
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling like I wanna tunnel vision you.
That's what I want. That's what I really, really want.
'He really, really, really wants a zig-zig-ah.'
Yeah, I want you to know full and well
that I do show a lot of interest in you.
Mm. Big time.
And yeah, I really enjoy conversating with you,
and I wanna see where things can go
if we get to know each other on a more personal level
rather than just these little chit chats here and there.
Yeah, and that's the thing. Like, I wanna give us the chance
to properly get to know each other. Yeah.
Oh, this is tricky. I'm in a tricky scenario
cos it's like I need to show Tyra I'm interested
and then not be too desperate now all of a sudden.Yeah.
I'll tell you what's been said through the grapevine.
I feel like I already know, but yeah, tell.
But let's just fill you in from bros to bros.Yeah.
I'm not doing enough. Well, that's basically it.
I think if she chooses Reid, she's making a huge mistake,
and she'll regret it long term.
100% percent. 100% percent.
Oh, this is gonna be crazy.
Her and Ben be trying and trying and trying, and I love Ben so much,
but I think that she's losing the hope that they could be something.
Yeah.Cos I think she was hopeful at the beginning,
and I just think, like, now she's just like not that hopeful.
Mm-hm. Yeah. Fuck.
But then at the same time, if she's super unsure,
I'll go have a chat with Kirra.
So, you would never be anything with Kirra?
I don't think so,
but I'm trying to think of a strategic plan in terms of...
So you can just hang around.
I think me and Kirra
could definitely muster up a game plan together.
If we are to stay in this game,
we could definitely help each other out, for sure.
Um, where my head's at... Mm-hm.
..is basically, trying to hone in on Tyra.
In a chance that she picks Ben. Yeah. That's where I'm like...
What's your mindset at with that?
I don't know. I don't know. Don't even...
It's hard to even think about that.
Yeah, I know you are. I know you are.
And I feel like one of the reasons why I've only ruled you out
is purely based off the sister situation.
Really? Yeah.
But would you even be open to getting to know me,
like, even with the sister thing involved?
I would, only if you feel comfortable with it.
Really?Hopefully, you know, if I do end up being your pick,
that we can see what it can blossom into.
I definitely think I would be keen to get to know you romantically.
Yeah. Um, yeah.Cool.
To be honest.
Yeah, that makes me happy, hearing that.
Oh, God. I'm like a little school girl. Um, OK, cool.Yeah.
I definitely am excited there could be an opportunity there.
I definitely shut it down with Reid far too quick.
I didn't even give the poor bloke a chance
to even, like, explain himself,
or, I guess, I didn't even really give him the chance,
to get to know him even on a friendship level.
Love that. Yeah, to that. Can I have a hug?
Yeah, of course. That feels good.
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'For electrician Ollie,
'news of tonight's re-coupling gave him a shock.
'But his "current" goal is to stay on the circuit.'
Talk to me, mate. NATE SIGHS
It's tough. It's looking tough.
Reid kind of told Kirra that
he, like, potentially wanted to be seeking like a relationship
or, like, seek something with her.
That bullshit. That's what I think.
That bullshit! No way has he played that card.
I'm like, I haven't heard that from him before, you know?
But, like, apparently, it was more of like a thing of
because she cut him off so early that he didn't even bother.
Fuck, he's pulling out all the stops.
He pulled it out. He pulled that out hard.
Fuck. I don't know how genuine it is.
Like, if it is, then it is, but if it isn't, like...
You know what's up. I haven't heard that.
Reid, he's... he's a fucking liar
and absolutely sold her a dream, sold her a lie.
Not even a white lie, that's a black-ass lie.
Like, Satan himself is curling at that one.
That is a ruthless old lie, pal, and so I had to let her know.
What's up, Ollie?
Well, I've just heard... heard a few things.
Yeah, I'm listening. Um...
I heard that Reid said that he's romantically interested in you.
Yeah.Which when I was told that, I was like, "There's no way."
I can't believe he's just, like, saying that
to get out of the situation he's in
because on his first day here, he was like,
"Nah, nah, she's not my type. I'd never get with her."
OK. So, for me, I'm not really gonna read too much into that,
but I obviously appreciate you telling me that.
I just can't believe that, like, he's saying that to you.
I, like, do find Reid attractive.
I personally drew the line between Reid and I too quickly,
and he agrees with that, but I'm never gonna know whether he agrees
just because he wants to stay in the villa
or whether he agrees cos he does generally wanna get to know me.
Is it not obvious? No, it's not.
As soon as someone shows interest in a vulnerable girl like that,
when they show that vulnerability, that's when the eagles come to eat.
And right now, the eagles are fucking hungry,
and I'm looking at it like I could eat. Yeah?
I could go in, and I could sell a dream, whatever,
but I ain't like that. I'm not a liar. I don't want her to get hurt.
Don't let someone come and sell you a dream.
You can't let him do that to you.
I'm not letting anyone do anything to me.
I won't be emotionally manipulated. That's not who I am.Yeah.
Don't think that I'm not aware of how convenient the situation is.
I'm a very emotionally in-tune and a very emotionally intelligent person.
Yeah.And I know when people are being genuine and when they're not.
It's your decision to make. Yep.
I won't be emotionally manipulated.
I won't be gaslit, I won't be love bombed.
'Yeah, I'm just torn, and obviously I know that Ollie has my back.'
I feel like your decision's probably already made up by now.
It's not. It's not.It's not at all.
# I should've left so long ago
# Cos now I feel you in my soul... #
How are you feeling with Reid?
We've had some amazing chats, really naturally-flowing chats,
and then obviously, we've got Benny Boy.
There's only so much you can force
until you then realise that maybe it's just not meant to be.
Mm.I don't know. I see pros and cons about picking both.
Ollie's motives right now seem extremely ingenuine,
and, like, yeah, being really negative towards Reid,
so I'm more inclined to choose Ollie.
Oh. Yeah.
But then, like, Reid's also a bit of a gamble
cos I guess Tyra is his first option.
Do you know what, though, babe? I wasn't Trent's first option.
# I know You think you're special... #
This is easily the toughest decision I've had to make.
My head has just been spinning.
Like, emotionally, it's just been like the biggest roller-coaster,
like, it's insane.
# Like a fire I've got you on your knees
# Gonna cry Can I hear you beg and plead... #
There's just so many what ifs,
and I'm just thinking too much about the what ifs
when I really just need to do what feels right in the moment,
I think, and just fucking rip the Band-Aid off.
STEPHEN MULLAN: 'Bring on the Monk.'
She looks so hot, for fuck's sake.
Hello, Islanders. ALL:Hey.
Am I that scary? LAUGHTER
You look amazing. You look great.
Oh, so do you guys. Well, what a first week.
I haven't seen so much couple swapping since my party days in LA.
It's been crazy.
Kale, nice to meet you. You as well.Oh, yeah.
I was trying to think of a vegetable joke,
but then I thought it would be "corny".
LAUGHTER Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
I just thought of that. How are you settling in?
Yeah, it's been... it's been eventful, for sure.Yeah.
It's good fun, though. Yep.Yeah.
Islanders... there are currently 13 of you in the villa...
but shortly, that number will be 12.
For most of you, tonight is a new beginning,
a chance to couple up with someone you are vibing with.
But for one of you... tonight is the end of the road.
Welcome to your very first dumping.
Kale. Please stand up and face your fellow Islanders.
As the newest member of the villa...
you will now choose a girl to couple up with.
Which girl would you like to couple up with and why?
I would like to couple up with this girl
because she was definitely one of the main ones that caught my eye
when I first walked in the villa. Mm-hm.
We've managed to have a couple of chats over the last few days,
and I'd like to say it's going well,
and we're definitely getting to know each other a lot better.
And I'd like to explore that a bit further and see where it goes.
So the girl I'd like to couple up with is...
..Nakia.
# If you wanna take a chance On me... #
Kale, was that a hard decision for you?
I think I definitely had my eyes on a couple of people,
but I think Nakia definitely stood out the most.
OK. Well, we have our first official couple of the night.
Kale, go and join Nakia.
# If you wanna take a chance on me Boy, I'm gonna prove you right
# This time, I'm feeling better But all we've gotta do is try. #
Will all remaining boys please come and stand on the stairs
and face the girls?
# Don't treat me like a stranger Maybe this is all in vain
# Running with desire Make it all go up in flames
# You come with danger
# Playing with fire... #
Cry again.
# Sing it with the choir Make it all go up in flames... #
Girls... one at a time, you will pick a boy.
The boy left without a partner...
# Playing with fire... #
..will be dumped from the villa.
# Or maybe I'm a villain... #
Savanah, please stand up.
Which boy would you like to couple up with and why?
I would like to couple up with this boy because...
he makes me laugh so much. We have so many good chats,
and I can really see us having a life outside of this villa.
# And tonight Gimme what I'm needing... #
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
..Trent.
# I need your love
# With you, everything just seems To pass me by
# Feel like I can fly Baby, just one touch... #
Trent, you look pretty comfy there.
Absolutely.Yeah? LAUGHTER
If it was vice versa, would you have chosen Savanah?
100%. And, Savanah, easy for you?
So easy. Really?
We get along so good. Yeah.
I feel like Trent likes me for me. Oh, good.
Aw! And, Trent, she said she could see
a life outside of the villa with you.
Absolutely.Yeah? A very good one for Sav.
Yeah, really? LAUGHTER
Tia, please stand up.
MUSIC: 'Give You My All' by Jordan Morris
TIA GIGGLES
I would like to couple up with this boy
because I think since day one,
he's been open and honest about what he truly wants in here.
He's showed me that he's cared about me,
and I love every second being with him.
So the boy I would like to couple up with...
..is Nate.
# I knew from the day we met You were a dream
# No matter where I go... #
SHE GIGGLES
Fuck. That was awesome.
Nate, did you like hearing that? Of course.
Definitely love hearing that. Feeling's mutual.Yeah.
You got a big smile on your face. Can't get rid of it.
Yeah. LAUGHTER
Can't keep up in here. LAUGHTER
And, Tia, was that tricky for you? No, not at all.
I really like being around him, so yeah.Oh.
And then there were four.
Lucinda, please stand up.
MUSIC: 'You Can Have It All' by 5 Alarm
Lucinda, you've had to do this once already.
Yeah. A veteran couple-upperer.
Making a different decision this time, though.
OK. Yeah.
Kind of obvious. Yeah.
LUCINDA GIGGLES Oh, yeah, yeah.
I would like to couple up with this boy because...
he makes me laugh every single day.
He's a ten out of ten, he makes the best coffees,
and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
# You know that You can have it all... #
..Zac.
# Can have it all Can have it all... #
INDISTINCT WHISPERING
And, Zac, how you feeling?
Stoked. Yeah?
She's a very lucky woman. LAUGHTER
Yeah.
So, if I'm not mistaken,
that's four brand-new couples out of four.
It's been a crazy week. Yeah. Looks like it.
Been busy. Yeah.
This is the moment of truth, brother.
Tyra, please stand up.
WHISPERING:Fucking hell.
So, Tyra, before you pick, how are you feeling tonight?
Oh, don't ask me cos I'll cry. Oh, no.
I'm a Cancer. It's fine. Aw...
No, it seems intense for you. Yeah, it's a lot.Yeah.
Oh, sweetheart.
Don't. Aw.
It's fine. I'm fine.
It is a very intense environment, isn't it? You're doing really well.
Which boy would you like to couple up with and why?
I would like to couple up with this boy because...
there's been instant attraction from the start.
I see great potential in us being together,
and I just want some more time
for us to get to know each other a little more.
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
..Ben.
# Whoa-oh-oh
# Whoa-oh-oh... #
Oh, Tyra. Good on you. I know that was not easy.
How tough's this afternoon been for you?
It's been rooted. Has it?
So fucked. Yeah.
And, Ben? Uh...
I was a bit on edge, not gonna lie. Yeah.
But yeah, I feel very grateful cos I did think we needed more time
to express how we're feeling... Yeah.
And I think love is worth fighting for, so...Yeah.
One girl left to choose.
And two boys to choose from.
# Waiting for you... #
Kirra, please stand up.
# Calling
# Hoping
# That you want to... # WHISPERING:Oh, God.
Kirra, can you explain how hard the decision's gonna be for you?
Hard.Hard, yeah. LAUGHTER
Um, yeah, it's not nice being put in a position
to, yeah, be sending someone home.
Yep. So... Yeah, that sucks.
OK, Kirra. Which boy would you like to couple up with and why?
# Welcome to the bad side... #
I would like to couple up with this boy because...
he brings an amazing vibe to the villa.
He's been unapologetically himself...
..and I don't feel that his time in the villa should be over yet.
# Welcome to the bad side... #
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
# Welcome to the bad side. #
..Reid.
# Little jump to the dark place And now it's got a hold
# Cannot quit and it's too late Cos now you've lost your soul
# Welcome to your bad side... #
Reid. Sophie.
I mean, congratulations. Thank you.
Yeah.Thank you. How are you feeling?
Relieved. Yeah?Good. Yeah.
Bit of, uh... Can breathe now.
Kirra, now we know who you've chosen. How hard was that for you?
Honestly, like, my decision for, you know,
both of the boys were very different.Mm-hm.
But very late, Reid and I decided
that we would like to potentially explore something romantically.
And unfortunately, Ollie and I were a friendship couple,
and I have to put myself first in here. So yeah.
Did amazing, Kirra. WHISPERING:Thank you.
Amazing. Thanks.
Ollie, how do you feel hearing that?
Surprised. Yeah?
Surprised, to be honest with you.
Oh, you didn't see it coming? I didn't think that...
she would read into the bullshit, to be honest with you.
GASPS
I think that from day one, he weren't interested in her.
He made that pretty clear to me and the boys,
and the fact that he's gone there today
and tried to sort of swindle his way in there,
and she's believed it, is amazing to me.
So I am very surprised that A, he's played that card
and B, that she's... she's sucked it up.
I'm not naive. Yeah, OK.
I can't be emotionally manipulated,
so please don't stand up there and try and tarnish my character.
Yeah, I think some of the words that I used early on
were definitely taken out of context and sort of twisted in a way.
It's a last-minute scramble is what it is.
It's a fucking shit show, but...
it is what it is - you've lapped it up.
And, Ollie, did you see a romantic connection with Kirra in the future?
No. There was no romantic connection.
Mutual. Likewise. Yeah.
So, Ollie, you're going out with a bang and a fight.
That's just how it is, innit? WHISPERING:Oh, my God.
Well, Ollie, unfortunately, you have been left single,
and you have been dumped from the Island.
You now have 30 minutes to say goodbye to everyone,
and then it'll be time to leave the villa.
True. The rest of you?
Be warned. Spicy era... is gonna get even spicier.
I'll see you soon, OK? See ya.
Bye, Soph. See ya.Bye, Sophie.
Oh, my God.
God. Fuck.
Holy shit.
Fuck, boys. God.
You did well, brother. Speak. Speak with your heart, man.
Fuck. That was a little bit random.
How was that? Tough? It was a tough decision.
I think you're really genuine, and obviously,
I really wanna get to know you, so...Yes.
Yeah. Yeah. I think you're genuine, too.
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
I wouldn't be here if I wasn't. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. I'll speak to you after. Yes, yes. Absolutely.
Way to say, say something as well. But we all be like...
"Come on..." It's the truth.
It's a dog act.We rate it. It's the truth, bro.
It's just ridiculous.
And I got snaked by Reid feeding Kirra lies,
absolute lies, and she just lapping it up.
# Love
# Is betrayal... #
What an explosive night. Innit, mate?
It all fucking popped off tonight.
Reid is 100% acting right now. Like, he's got no interest in Kirra.
Bro, you did a good job out there.
ZAC LAUGHS Game's gotta appreciate game.
Yeah! Whoa, whoa...
Yeah. Shut the hell up. We're not buying the act, you coward.
All in all, very, very happy with Kirra choosing me
as a person to re-couple with
and keen to get to know her a lot more.
The two options were carry on a friendship couple...Yeah.
..or choose someone that you could possibly be romantically...
Yeah. ..involved with.
Like, it's not "Friendship Island". You know?
I don't know why Ollie wanted to be in that platonic relationship again.
It's because yes, he knew that someone else
was gonna walk through the door,
and the moment they did, I'd be ditched.
He would do the same to you. Exactly.
I definitely feel like I made the right decision.
Obviously, with how Ollie acted,
his true colours definitely prevailed.
I just went with my gut, and it is Love Island,
and you and I were platonically coupled.
Yeah, I just think it's a mad move.
Honestly, like, roles reversed,
I wouldn't... I wouldn't have done that.
I think you would've. I wouldn't.
Like, if you think I made a bad decision, that's fine.
Yeah. Obviously, that's just your ego talking now,
but it's, like, obviously...
What do you mean by this is my ego talking?
Obviously, cos we was a couple, so...
I don't need to justify my decisions to anyone.
If you feel that I do, you're entitled.
You don't feel like you've gotta justify your decision
to the guy you've been coupled up with for the last week?
As friends. Yeah.
Don't feel like I have to, but I did.
Ollie's got foot in mouth syndrome.
Like, he kind of just, like, says things before he thinks.
And I definitely think that he needs to work on that.
But he's got a long flight home, so he can have a good reflection.
I feel the same, bro. I'll miss you boys.
Fuck, man. Not gonna be the same.
Gonna miss you. Far out, bro. 100%.
Matching tattoo, bro. Argh!
Mwah! Bye, Ollie!Love you, boy.
Gonna miss your eggs. Gonna miss your twerking.
Gonna miss your red flags, bud.
ALL:Oh!
# My mind is much higher
# And in that judgement I am alone... #
I feel gutted that I didn't get the chance to fall in love.
I didn't get the chance to meet that someone special.
# Bound to be a liar... #
I thought that my girl Kirra would stick by me.
But Reid's a snake.
Reid's a snake, and I feel like he's gonna get what's coming to him.
# Bound to be a liar. #
