# You deserve to shine
# Everything You've ever dreamed of... #
NARRATOR: Oh, baby, we are back in Espana!
Or as they say in Espana, Espana.
We've got Spanish legs.
Streets, churches.
Cars with mirrors.
A random family man walking his dog.
And the hostess with the mostest. The first lady of love.
Say "buenos dias" to la Monk!
Welcome to the Love Island villa.
A lavish and luxurious place
where our Islanders are about to enjoy a sizzling Spanish summer.
# Everything You've ever dreamed of... #
Our Islanders have plenty in common.
# Love everything you are You know... #
They're all smoking hot.
They're all desperately single.
Epic bodies, epic teeth,
epic hair, epic tans, epic asses.
BRAYING
And they're all here for Instagram followers -
love, love.
They're all here for love, and love don't come easy.
They say diamonds are made under pressure,
and this is the summer of tough love.
Let's bring on the girls.
# I got boss energy I take it in my stride
# You can't keep up with me No way, cos that's my vibe
# I'll knock 'em dead, you know
Like one, two, three Four, five... #
Kia ora. My name is Mimi. I'm 25.
I'm originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, and I live in Sydney.
I run a streetwear clothing brand.
# Cos that's my vibe... #
Girl, it is rough in the Sydney dating scene.
Everybody wants a one-night thing, and I want a long-term thing.
I'm wanting that '90s type of love.
I want someone to write me love letters.
I want them to throw stones at my window.
I'm sick of these nonchalant men. I want a "chalant" man.
# Cos that's my vibe... #
Is that a word? I actually don't know.
# Cos that's my vibe
# Oh Cos that's my vibe... #
I can't believe we're here!
Literally, like, what the heck is going on?
Oh, my God. Wow!
# Ooh
# You're the baddest around You're the baddest
# Ooh... #
I'm Hannah, I'm 24,
and I'm a nursing student from Melbourne.
# You got angles
# You so bad You make the rules... #
100%, I'm a princess.
Like, if you can't see it already, like, the crown is here.
# You're the baddest You're the baddest... #
The queen has arrived.
I've got, like, angels.
I know that sounds weird to some people, but I have angels,
and they always look after me and always protect me.
And I manifested, "I want to be on Love Island,"
like, "Help me get on Love Island."
And they were like, "Here you go, Love Island."
SHE LAUGHS I got you in it!
I've literally been manifesting it.
I'm actually gonna find my boyfriend
and potential future husband by the end of the year.
SHE LAUGHS
# You're the baddest You're the baddest around... #
Oh, my God, hi!
Hi! Hey!
Welcome to the villa.
Hola! Hola!
Drinky poos, anyone? OK. Yes, please.
I'm nervous.
# You're the baddest. #
So, what are you looking for in a guy?
OK, appearance, I like tall, tanned, teeth, dark features.
Teeth, like big teeth?
Yeah, like buck teeth.
Looks, I'm all about smile and eyes. That's a massive one for me.
But I'm more like, I want to find myself
a golden retriever.
But he looks like a Rottweiler.
I've got two golden retrievers.
They're gorgeous. That's what you want in a man.
Yeah, I do, I want, like, a soft, you know, lover boy.
Yeah? Yeah, I love love.
I feel like the Barbies. Right? This is Barbie land.
Where is our Ken?
I'm Em, I'm 26,
and you've never seen anyone on Love Island like me before.
# I'm in the mood For elevating my mind. #
I'm looking for somebody a little bit edgy.
If they have tattoos, if they've got cool style.
# Ooh, I'm in the mood For love, love, love... #
If they think out of the box...
I don't want, like, a little cookie cutter in chinos.
SHE RETCHES
I think people are mostly afraid to approach me
because my face says, "Don't fucking come near me."
But that's not me. That's my face's vibe.
My heart's vibe is like, "Love me."
# You're gonna feel my fire, baby. #
Hey, queens! Hi!
Oh, my God, wait. I think I know one of them.
Yeah, I think I modelled with her before.
Hi!You guys look amazing! Hi, I'm Mimi.
Xanthe, nice to meet you. I'm Em.I'm Hannah.
Nice to meet you.
Hi! What the fuck? Get out! Get out of town.
Hey, sexy. Let me see. Give me a twirl.
Give me a twirl!
We've been talking about boys.
Oh! Join in.
And what are you hoping walks through that door?
What kind of man? Like, a fruity little boy.
What's a fruity...?Somebody, just like a guy with feminine energy.
Like, muscles and masculine men...
You know you're on Love Island, not Lego Masters.No, I know!
Oh, my God, Lego Masters!
Xanthe, what's your type?
I love dimples, I love a nice smile, nice eyes, nice smile.
Because I feel like those things don't age, and like...
OK. Yeah, yeah.
Like a guy can have a six pack,
but are they gonna have that in 20 years?Probably not.

Anything with a costume, I love, I love that.

I wanna get married soon.
I've planned my wedding already. I've picked the cake.
I've picked my dress.
The bridesmaids will be pink. It's gonna be in Italy.
The only thing I don't have is the groom.
So that's what we're looking for now.
Tonight, we're gonna be sleeping with a boy.
Have you guys thought about that? I know!
This morning, I was like, "I'm gonna wake up with someone tomorrow."
How am I gonna sleep in a bed with some guy?I know, I know!

I'm a clinger.
I love hugs, kisses, and I'm very jealous.
I get very, very jealous.
If I ever have a boyfriend, when someone's talking to my man,
like, I'll be dead set sitting there, daggers.
Like, just so angry.
Eilisha, we've just been having a girly chat about boys.
Oh, really? Yeah.
What's your type? What's your type?
Someone who's usually muscly.
I usually like a bad boy, unfortunately.
Yeah.Are you coming in here to look for someone opposite?
Or are you, like...? I honestly want, like, a husband.
Cos I'm so like, I'm 25, so I'm just so over boyfriends.
I just want someone, like, really serious now.
Oh, my God. Love Island engagement!

and it was a long one.
A long one? Six years.
ALL EXCLAIM A commitment man.
# Fight like an animal... #
I'm Indigo. I grew up in Cairns.
Life in the Daintree was different. We took a tinnie to school.
There was crocodiles.
I've been brought up in a good way. I've got good morals.
I'm definitely a respectful, loyal, loving person.
Someone that will always take care of my girl.
So I'm husband material.
But I grew up in the country riding horses, so you know how it is,
I love a great ride.
You know, I'm a good guy, so... OK.
Would you say you're a golden retriever?
I've got golden retriever energy. I've got the energy to match.
So Indigo is a no. I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
OK, Dylan?
Yes?Can you just tell us what you had for breakfast?
Cos I want the girls to be able to hear you talk.
What?
IRISH ACCENT:I had eggs. And I had a coffee to get me ready.

My dad is Nigerian, Nigerian, Nigerian.
And that's how you get me.
# Like, whoa, watch out Pardon me
# I look like I just won the lottery... #
So, people, when they look at me, they think "fuckboy" straight away.
But then once they start talking to me,
it's lover boy vibes, always.
Through and through CLB - Certified Lover Boy.
# I don't say sorry No apologies. #
NARRATOR: FYI, I'll show no favouritism
to fellow Irishman Dylan -
a flawless god who should win the girl and the cash! Ahem.
OK, out of zero to ten,
ten being red, zero being white, what are you?
As in red flag? Yeah.
I can't lie, I do give off a lot of red flags,
but I'm actually not... I give off that fuckboy look.
But I'm actually a lover boy, believe it or not.
I don't believe it.
Trust me. Trust me.
So, Kane... Yes.
You're a tradie.
Is it true what they say, tradies get the ladies?It is true.
What do you think it is?
Is it the fluorescent, do you wear...?
I think it's everything about being a tradie.
Getting their hands dirty... You can fix stuff.
You can fix stuff. You're just a handyman around the house.
Yeah. Does anyone wanna ask Kane a question?
How many relationships have you been in?
That's a good one.I've actually never been in a relationship.
So you've never asked anyone in your life to be your girlfriend?
No, I have not. OK.
Unless we count primary school.
ALL EXCLAIM
I'm Kane, I'm 23.
I'm from Adelaide, and I'm a chippie.
# Let it start
# Listen to the beat Of your heart... #
I wouldn't say I've dated girls.
The longest I reckon I've seen a girl is about three weeks, so...
I've been wanting to fall in love for too long now.
But I don't know... It's just never happened.
Hopefully, Love Island is the first time I fall in love.
But it'd be scary as shit.
HE LAUGHS
So, Niko... Yes.
You're a Greek god. Are you looking for your Greek goddess?
Oh, I'd hope I'm a Greek god, but, yeah, I'm definitely looking
for my Greek goddess, for sure.

28.28? Yeah.
How many relationships have you had? I've been in two relos.

I do. What... Oops.
ALL EXCLAIM That was quick!
What inspired the socks and the sandals?
I have to know.
Um, I sort of went for, like, you know, a bit of comfort
and then just a bit of, like, uh, you know, the look
I would go for a bit out, so...
OK, love. Why not mix it up a bit?
It's a different look.
Em, you said you were looking for a different look.
I was, I'm not sure if I meant high socks, but we'll see.
This is casual wear. Don't worry.
Zane.Hello. How you going?
I'm doing good. How are you? Pretty good.

I love chasing chicks,
but I love when chicks chase me even more.
I've been single for seven years.
I was hurt in the past, but I'm ready for love now,
so, yeah, ready to find the one.
Tough question. OK.
If you were to take a girl out on a first date
and you really liked her, what would the date include?Ooh. Good one.
Um, probably, like, snacks. Picnic at, like, sunset.
Oh, that's really sweet.
Would you make it yourself?
Yeah. Oh, I love that!
I'd just, like, throw together, like,
fruit, crackers, cheese. Cheese.
Ask them what their favourite cheese is
cos there's that many of them.
And then just put it all together.
Well, you've all got to know each other a little bit.
And now you're gonna get to know each other
a whole lot more.
ALL EXCLAIM
Boys, can you all please stand up and face the girls?
BOYS EXCLAIM
I'm sweatin'!
Indigo is so keen. I love your energy.
Oh, I'm just here to have a good time. Let's do it.
Now, girls, shortly, you are gonna pick a boy to couple up with.
OK. What?
But this year, I'm giving you the chance
to try before you buy.
Ooh!One at a time, you'll stand up and choose,
not one, but two boys to kiss.
Oh, my God.
We've been here like 20 minutes
and we're already getting to kiss girls.
I'm pumped. I can't wait for this.
Mimi, you're up first.
It's time to try before you buy.
I was like, "Oh, my God, I have to kiss a boy. I have to kiss a boy."
Like, it's been a minute. Yeah, but really excited.
Whoo!
Have a good look at the boys.
Look at her fucking strut!
GIRLS SQUEAL
OK.
GIRLS SQUEAL
Oh, my gosh. OK.
Oh, my God, Mimi!
The kiss was good. It felt right.
And it just made me a little bit giddy inside.
Go, Mimi. Get it, girl.
OK, um...
Good. Good job, babe.
Who will be next? It's Dylan.
Oh, shit.
Wow!
Should we get them a room? LAUGHTER
Mimi and Dylan...
Oh, my God, just watching them, that made me horny.
They look so good.
Whoa!
To see her kiss Dylan, I was a little bit jealous.
Mimi, come and sit down. OK!
I was hoping that kiss wasn't as good as ours.
Are you blushing? I'm more than blushing.
Oh, my God! I don't know.
Can I have both?
Zane, how good's Love Island? I couldn't ask for anything more.
Yeah, really? I just wanna live here, please.
LAUGHTER
Mimi was just... excellent.
OK, Hannah. I'm so nervous.
It's time to try before you buy.
OK... I'll go with you.
Come. All right.
Indigo. Indigo. Here he goes.
Ooh.
It feels so wrong. It's very sensual.
It is a good kiss.
It's a bit Notebook. She's got the lips.
It was... It was a good kiss.
I'd give it a solid nine out of ten.
Number two.
Come with me.
# Said I wouldn't for another
# Now I'm taking you home I'm not leaving without you... #
Oh, my gosh. Man knows how to kiss.
He's having a good day. Yeah, he's having a great day.
# I need your love... #
HANNAH GIGGLES He has really good eye contact.
I don't know if this sounds stupid, but kind of felt like
a Prince Charming moment, but it kind of felt like a, like...
Whoa. Like, it was a good kiss.
Zane, is this, like, your day?
Best day of my life. LAUGHTER
Indigo. That was so romantic.
That was... That was a good kiss.
I love this game. Same.
OK, Em, it's time to try before you buy.
SHE SHRIEKS OK.
Hello.
OK.
Go on.
Ooh!
Goodness.
He was a really good kisser.
He definitely knew what he was doing.
He kind of, like, sucked my lips off my face at the end,
but I kind of enjoyed it.
Wow!Oh, yeah. That was a lip suck, wasn't it?
That was. Yeah.
Two out of two reactions. You're loving it!
I'm sorry. I'm literally not, like, taking my time at all.
Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh.
Three for three. Three for three.
I know he's not mine yet, but these girls
better appreciate kissing him now,
because it's the only time they're gonna get to kiss him.
He's gonna be mine soon.
Zane has, like, a thousand wives.
# We can do it over here We can do it... #
He's got some practice now, hasn't he?Yeah.
Oh, my goodness!
The kiss with Zane was fine.
SHE LAUGHS I'm so sorry. Thank you.
He had already kissed a few girls by the time he got to me,
so his mouth was a little tired.
But the kiss will suffice for now, I guess.
Zane, is this like Spin The Bottle at a 16th birthday party for you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but the bottle is just always getting stuck.
Rigged bottle. Niko and Kane...
Yes. What's going on here?
I don't know. Other blokes are too, too beautiful for us.
Yeah.
OK. Xanthe, you're up. It's time to try before you buy.
GIRLS EXCLAIM
You got this. Go, Xanthe!
Oh, she's straight up. Look out!
GIRLS CHEER
Cute!
She's right in there!
Honestly, it's the other girls' loss none of them chose to kiss Kane.
I'm not complaining cos it means I don't have competition yet,
but I don't know what they don't see in him
cos I think he's the cutest boy there, for sure.
Wow. Feels good to be picked.
LAUGHTER
The kiss with Xanthe was very good
and I'm... hopefully get a few more with her.
LAUGHTER I'm sorry!
I feel lucky.
Gonna go five for five.
# So hold on to my lifeline. #
I can't get jealous. I've just met this guy.
Zane, does your tongue need a rest, or are you cool to continue?
Nah, I'm good for one more. LAUGHTER
Tradie got the lady. Yes, finally! Finally.
Waited a long time, but it was worth it.
Good kiss? It was a good kiss.
After the two kisses that I did have,
Kane is definitely on my mind.
Niko, are you OK? I'm OK.
How are you feeling?Hoping to get the last one, I hope. But...
We love you, Niko.
Well, Eilisha, over to you.
Time to try before you buy.
I actually was gonna choose you.
Oh, she's straight up... So, you can come with me.
ALL EXCLAIM
# You bring them good vibes You got me on cloud nine... #
Oh, the kiss with Eilish is good.
She was... If I was to choose one girl, she was it.
Brunette. Beautiful eyes, short.
Nice feet. She's hot.
OK.
So awkward.
SHE MUTTERS OK. Fuck.
You all right?
The kiss with Eilisha was just perfect.
'Honestly, kissing to me is a big thing.'
Like, that definitely started off on the right foot.
Niko. Score.
I feel good now. Yeah.
How was it? It was good.
Yeah. It was very nice. SHE CHUCKLES
OK, guys, that was a lot of fun.
Yeah. That was fun.
That was just the warm-up.
Now it's time for the main event.
It's time to couple up.
SHE SQUEALS
Let's go, boys. That's the exciting part.
NARRATOR: After the saliva-thon, it's time to couple up.
Full disclosure - I haven't actually read the production notes,
but I'm pretty sure, girls, this year,
we're doing things exactly the same.
SOPHIE: So, girls, this year, we're doing things
a little bit differently. NARRATOR: Ah...
SOPHIE: When I say go, run directly to the boy
you'd like to couple up with and stand on his heart.
GIRLS:Oh, my God.
And more than one girl can stand on the heart.Oh, man.
Oh, God.
Jeez. You're here for love.
Go for who you want.
Don't worry about anyone else. OK.
Be selfish. Follow your heart to the heart.
Everyone got it? ALL:Yeah. Got it.
It's time to couple up.
Are you ready?
Steady... Oh, no.
This is gonna be chaos.
Go! Go, go, go...
She's running! Go, girls! Run!
She's quick! Mimi's keen.
Mimi's in the lead.
She's a sprinter. Oh, who would have thought?
Oh, straight in. Mimi's marking her territory.
Do we all go for the same guy?
Here we go. Oh, my gosh, OK, OK. That's OK.
Oh, no. OK.
Hello. Hey.
You all right?
It's a very good day to be you, Zane.It's a great day.
# Get ready cos here we come Come on... #
Wow. There was some fast running there.
Especially from you, Mimi. You were right in there.
Yeah. # I'm a runner, I'm a track star. #
Very keen.
NARRATOR: Niko is sad.
Indigo is blue and also sad.
SOPHIE: OK, let's deal with the simple bit first.
Xanthe! Yes.
You've claimed your man.
When he said he was a tradie, I was like, yeah, sold.
Well, Xanthe and Kane,
you're officially Love Island's first couple.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Eilisha? Yes.
You made a beeline for Dylan's heart.
Well, good kiss, and he's good-looking as well, so... yeah.
OK. Eilisa and Dylan, you are Love Island's second couple.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And, Zane, you have three beautiful girls
standing on your heart.
But now you have to choose just one to stay.
So will it be Mimi, Hannah or Em?
Who would you like to keep on your heart?
I think the girl that I'd like to couple up with...
..who definitely caught my eye at the start, would definitely be...
..Mimi. Mimi!
APPLAUSE
Mimi. Are you happy?
It feels nice. Yeah.
That's good.Yeah. I'm glad we had the same initial, like, attraction.
So, Hannah and Em, you now need to move
to what we call the subs bench.
Go and take a seat.
Ciao.
So that means Mimi and Zane are our third couple.
Now, girls on the subs bench, this is what we're gonna do.
I'm going to count down from three.
Oh, my God, Sophie!
And then you have to say the name of the boy
you wanna couple up with.
Oh, my God. You can choose Niko or Indigo.
So in three, two, one...
Niko. Indigo.
Oh, perfect!So that makes it simple. Go get your man.
We were like, cool.
Hello. Hi.
Welcome. Mwah.
That means our fourth couple is Hannah and Niko.
And, Em, is Indigo one of your favourite colours?
No. Oh.
Wrong answer! Come on. It could be.
Let's ask me again tonight. Yeah. OK.
Well, our final couple is Em and Indigo.
Well, it looks like we've got five couples, guys.

and potentially win $50,000 together.
THEY LAUGH, APPLAUSE
Islanders, diamonds are made under pressure
and every relationship will be tested to the limit.
Welcome to the villa, and welcome to the year of tough love.
Good luck, guys. I'll see you soon.
Big kisses. ALL:Bye!
ALL CHEER
I think the first thing to happen, shirts off.
Shirt is off. Shirts off.
I wish I could do the same. Look at this.
It's what you'd expect a Spanish villa to look like, on steroids.
Most importantly, it's a villa filled with five sexy gals
that I'm gonna try and rizz up.
So see what happens.
Hi, guys.
How good is it?
Definitely top spec villa.
I've never stayed in something this nice,
so it should be a good time.
The springiness is just perfect.
IMITATES IRISH ACCENT: It's just perfect!
# You and me together... #
NARRATOR: Love Island's already proven
the game of love is brutal.
Hannah wanted to couple up
with chiselled tradie man mountain Zane,
but tragically, she's had to settle
for chiselled tradie man mountain Niko.
Our bums are gonna burn here.
Do you want me to wet it for you?Yeah. Can you?
You don't mind a wet arse?

He would be Hulk if he was like a superhero.
You definitely go to gym.
Me? Yeah. You go.
No, I do a bit of cardio.
Oh, good. Yeah. Just walking.
Nice.Yeah. I love walking.
I do it all the time as well. I probably should do more...
Look at your physique already. Oh, stop it. Stop it you!
Giving the compliments already.
First time, giving the compliments.
NARRATOR: So, Niko, after that deep and meaningful,
tell us everything you've learned about Hannah.
She's got titties. They're good.
And she's got a fit body.
Like, what's your ideal guy? NARRATOR: Zane!
Um, tanned. Nice teeth.
Taller than me. Brunette.
OK, so I'm ticking all the boxes.
Where's the twist?
Um... No twist.
You guys are looking so cute together.Really?
I'm obsessed.
What do you do?
I'm a sales manager for a four-wheel drive...
I totally see that for you.
Why?Can you give me, like, a sales pitch?
Um... I'm Indigo.
I'm 23. I'm from the Gold Coast.
23. He is 23, which is like...
It's a little young.
How old are you? How old do you think?
22.
SCOFFS No.
How old? I'm turning 27 next month.
Far out. Yeah. She old.
Yeah. 27's not too bad.
No, it's literally... Not too bad!
Thank you so much, Indigo. Thank you so much (!)
No, it's not... It's not too bad.
You're not old and decrepit just yet.
You know what I mean. That's enough.
No... Oh! It's enough.
Nah. Surely not.
No, you're not that old.
NARRATOR: Keep an eye out for Indigo's new book,
Me Talk Women Good, coming soon.
What do you do for work?
Um... I'm, like, a freelance creative...
Before I went freelance,
I was, like, a restaurant manager
for, like, a vegan restaurant in Bondi.
Yeah. Are you vegan? Um, so that was a lot.
Yeah. You are. There you go.
I love my meat. There you go.
GAGS
She's a vegan, dude.
LAUGHS Mm-hm.
Nah. It's, um...
That's all right.
I'm glad it's OK for you. It's fine.
Would you cook meat?
No. No?
Why would I cook meat? I don't know.
Not for yourself. For me.
No. Fair enough.
"Would you cook me meat?"
No, it's not the 1950s.
I'm not a fucking housewife.
Like, I got shit to do, babes.
Are you going to cook me some food?
That was an ick for me.
If you ask me what my icks are,
that is what my ick is.
"Would you cook meat for me?"
Like, literally never around people who eat meat.
I'm like, so, like, in my own fantasy world
that it would really freak me out.
So I'm not cooking you meat.
All right, fair enough. Yeah.
I love a good steak. OK. That's amazing.
Love that for you. Thanks.
LOVE that for you. Thanks.
If I bought a vegan home for a barbeque,
my grandpa would probably lose it.
You know, it's... meat's there to be eaten.
I'm not saying vegans are bad people.
They're great people. They're people.
Yeah. Welcome.
Yeah. Wow.
NARRATOR: So far,
our boys' main weak spot has been forming
coherent sentences.
Kane may have impressed Xanthe with his good looks,
but can he impress her by using words good?
Happy. STUTTERS
He cannot.
Well, the bar is on the floor, but it is Love Island.
Just remember her name and you should be fine.
Out of all the girls' names,
you were like the name that I remembered.
Because my name is weird or because...?
No, I think Xanthe's a beautiful name.
Thanks. What is your background?
My mum is Malaysian.
Yeah.And my dad is Lebanese Australian.
Yeah. Are they...? Are you Aussie?
I'm Aussie, but my dad's side's Russian and Polish.
No way!Yeah. Oh. That's cool.
My last name, Godlevsky.
Godlevsky? Yeah.
That sounds, like, expensive.
Expensive?I don't mind that last name, yeah.
Xanthe Godlevsky has a nice ring to it.
Sounds like a celeb!
You just stuck out to me. Yeah, no. Same.
And then when you said you were a tradie, I was like, oh.
You like tradies? Yeah.
You're like a man. Yeah. What do you do for work?
I'm a property stylist. What sort of tradie are you?
Are you like... Carpenter.
So you build houses and I style them.
So we... We've got...
I'll build it and then you can style.
We'll start buying little houses and whatnot.
That would be nice.
One thing I look for in a girl is someone that when you talk
to them, the conversation just flows really easily.
And I felt like I could just talk to her forever.
Look nice. Thank you.
Do you want to pick me up? Because I can't be bothered.
Pick you up? I'm a bit wet, though.
GRUNTS
Hey, come on. It's fine, it's fine.
God damn! Keep walking.
Wait. Where are we going? Firepit?
Yeah. OK. Come on. You can walk this bit.
OK. Let's go.
Wait. It's so hard to keep...
Was I heavy? No.
You're a pocket rocket. I told you.
I get guys to pick me up.
If I say pick me up, like, you need to pick me up.
If you don't, I just think, "Dickhead."
So where are you from? So I'm from Brisbane.
I'm 25. I lived in Ireland for 12 years.
Doing what? No, no, when I was little.
I know how to speak a little bit of Gaelic.More than me.
I have none. What?
Wait, OK. What happened if you...
Dylan's my name. That's about it.
OK, but when you needed to go to the bathroom
at school, you had to say it in Gaelic.
SPEAKS GAELIC
NARRATOR: Ah...you just asked to borrow a potato.
You know I don't. You know more than me.
That's... Cause you're more Irish than me.
That's weird how Dylan does not speak Gaelic,
but he's lived in Ireland
pretty much his whole his whole life.
What nash are you? Guess. Your typical.
From Nigeria?
See? What do you think I am?
You're Irish? Yeah.
With... So I'm Irish,
I'm Portuguese, Norwegian, English.
That's where the eyes are from.
I have my mum's eyes, yeah.
The eyes are dangerous. Thanks.
Damn.
So how do you feel about, like, the coupling situation?
You're hot property in the villa.
Yeah, I was. How do you feel?
I felt stoked. Yeah?
Pretty flattered, yeah. Is your ego stroked?
Yeah. I just try to keep it on the down low.
OK, OK.I'm just happy you picked me.
Oh, really? OK. I was top choice?
Yeah. I think walking down the stairs
you definitely caught my eye.
Yeah. OK. That's good.
Mimi is beautiful.
She has good vibes, good energy. I love her smile.
Who was the best kiss? Honestly.
I think you were pretty good.
Actually? Yeah. What about you?
Obviously you had two. You were both very different.
What do you like? What do I like what?
Like, types of kiss.
I'm not gonna give you. You just work out.All right.
I feel like we have a very good, like, energy,
like an initial attraction.
But there's not, like, I want to rip your clothes off and,
like, bite your lip off, like, vibe yet.
# So many things going on
# We couldn't Take it serious. #
I'll get naked first.
I'm so nervous.
Like, I'm going to bed with makeup on.
# 'Cause this Is the right place. #
Fuckin' Em's a vegan, bro. Huh?
Em's a vegan. Yeah?
Yeah! That's, I think that's a deal breaker.Is it?
It's a big thing, though, isn't it?
Yeah. She's 27 too. She's pretty old.
How is everybody feeling?
How are you? How are you feeling?
What's happening, girl?
He's really nice. But, like, I think he's too nice for me.
Oh, shit!
Dude, I'm... Me and Xanthe get along heaps well.
True? That's good. No, she seems cool.
Guys, I feel like we do need to kiss our boys
outside of a challenge.
There's gonna be kissing.
There's gonna be fucking heartbroken.
There's gonna be everything!
# This is the life. #
NARRATOR: Islanders, time to let your hair down... or not.
Em, you know, bandannas are cool, too.
Anyway, it's the first night in the villa,
and this party train ain't stopping.
I'm so sorry...
NARRATOR: Much. We should let the boys...
We should have the boys walk past
because I cannot with these fucking high heels.
This shoe choice from hers,
I don't know what happened with it, but it's just...
ain't working.
Did you bring any that you can walk in?
I had to bring big shoes.
You know why? Because I'm so small.
So I wanted to be everyone else's height.Hi, guys!
Welcome to Love Island 2024.
I'm so excited to be here with you all.
We're literally gonna have the best summer of our lives.
Go hard or literally go home.
I'm sure we'll get to know each other
and we'll all hopefully fall in love
and have the best time ever.
CHEERING
The fact that I get to call this place home
for the next few months, it's literally my dream.
Like, I love it, I love it, I love it already.
Where do we reckon the sun sets?
Over there? Over there or behind us?
I reckon behind us because we didn't see it, eh?
Well, yeah. Yeah, definitely.
That's a really good point.
Oh, my God, I'm so bad at my north, south, east.
There is no...My north, south, east and west.
I'm really bad at my north, south, east and west.
It doesn't even make sense to me.I don't get it.
If my brain was a compass, it would be like this.
I wouldn't have a clue.
Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean?
Yeah, when...
He's got, like, the broken compass
and it's, like, works off luck.
It's just like, "Yeah, that way."
I love Pirates of the Caribbean.
What a movie. Yeah.
If she was a compass, I'd follow her.
Yeah, that's for sure. LAUGHS
DYLAN COUGHS Are you dying? Are you OK?
I'm studying to be a nurse. I can't help you.
You're studying to be a nurse? Yeah.
So if I collapse, are you gonna go on the CPR?
Oh, you're gonna collapse?
Maybe. Maybe by the end of tonight, I will.Ooh!
Gonna be in the bed like, "Help me."
I need oxygen. It's been a long day.
The banter is... chef's kiss.
It was there.
I did not expect to hit it off that quickly at all.
This is a shock to me.
Like, I knew that I would, like,
I was going here looking for love,
but I didn't think it would be, like, straight away,
I'd click with someone and we would be vibing.
# Can you hear me say... #
I'm so glad we met. Right?
NARRATOR: Moon in the sky. Villa looks blingin'.
Is it too soon for me to start singing?
Yeah, episode one is probably too early for a song.
The islanders sit around and get to know each other.
Let's go around the circle and learn something new
about each other. OK, do that first.
I've had so many situationships.
Yeah, I love a situationship.
Do you? See, fuck that shit.
No, I don't actually love, but, like, I tend to attract.
I just always attract. And they just can...
They never know what they want.
And I'm like, goodbye. I always walk away.
I'm the one that walks away. Oh, do you?Yeah.
I need a guy that's obsessed with me, and then I love it.
Simple.Are you taking notes? Yeah!
I need you to be obsessed.
If you're not you can just fuck off,
cos someone else will.
Goddamn.Like, I don't like situationships.
Because I love a guy to be so obsessed with me.
She's a girl that knows what she wants, you know?
So I gotta respect that. And it's hot.
Should we play Spin the Bottle?
I know, that's what I was just thinking. Should we do it?
Yeah, let's play. Who's keen?
Me! ALL EXCLAIM
Let's do it!
I honestly haven't played Spin the Bottle, I think,
since I was a teenager.
But best way to get to know everyone is to kiss 'em.
Oh! Hannah!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Get it, girl!
I do not like other people kissing Hannah.
No-one wants to see it.
Especially when I hadn't kissed her before that.
Can't look.
OK. OK, guys, who's liking the game?
All right, if it's a girl, I'll still do it.
Yourself.
Indigo. We're right here anyway.
My kiss with Eilisha tonight, it was... it was good.
She's got nice lips,
and she seems like a cool girl.
Who's next? Niko.
Sick.
Oh!
Oh, my God. It's their first kiss.
Oh!
It kind of felt exciting.
It was... Yeah, it was a really nice kiss.
Fuck yeah.
I liked it, I enjoyed every second of it.
And I would kiss her again, so...
Let's have some fun. I know.
That's so you, Xanthe!
Whoa, whoa.
The kisses don't lie. And he was good.
I think any bloke would be a little worried seeing
her kiss other boys, but I'll back myself in.
TEXT ALERT
SHOUTING AND SCREAMING
I got a text! CHEERING
READS TEXT
ALL SCREAM
Stop, stop! And he's coming in hot.
All girls to the fire pit immediately!
Let the games begin!
# Love is the only game... #
Bye, boys! Bye, boys!
Why are they excited for? They shouldn't be excited.
The girls seemed way too keen.
Way too keen for our liking, that's for sure.
Oh, come on,
it's gonna be like Brad Pitt walking in or something.
I would hope tonight's bombshell was nothing
that Hannah finds attractive.
Hopefully, he doesn't tick any boxes.
Had the first initial chart. Yeah, same.
First kiss was two minutes ago, bro.
I hope this new bomb
looks like the bottom of my shoes.
So that none of the girls like him.
# Love is the only game. #
Hi, boys! Hi.Hi.
How is it up there?Amazing. Yeah, the view is unreal.
Are you nervous? Nah.
We don't do nervous. Exactly how I like it.
I'm obsessed with you!

When I get to the villa,
I'm going to pull every girl for a chat.
I know what I want, and if I see something I like,
I'm going to go for it.

Tatted, jacked, fuck.
God, he's like a Greek god.
Come sit in the middle. Sit in the middle.
Let's do it. So, how are you feeling?
Welcome to the villa. I know.
I like what you've done with the place.
He looks a bit old.
He does, but they like that.
Wait till I grow my beard out.
So tell us about yourself. Age. Criminal history.
Taylor. Criminal history... zero.
I'm 28, I work, I'm a stevedore.
So I work on the wharf with the ships, unloading.
So you're like pulling the ropes.
Oh...Wait, do you believe in mermaids? Like sirens?
Pardon?Do you believe in sirens? Like mermaids?
I'm yet to see one.
But, I mean, hey, crazier things have happened.
Maybe you could find a Love Island mermaid.
Possibly.
The girls are hot. I mean, they're all hot.
Like, physically, I'm attracted to all of them.
So, happy. Happy guy.
I reckon he's definitely gonna like...Oh, shut up.
LAUGHTER
I hope he's vegan. LAUGHTER
Um, how many girlfriends have you had?
Two serious ones. Long term.
Five and three years.
Have you ever cheated? Never.
Do you have siblings? Are you, like, from a big family?
Yeah, so, I have five sisters and a brother.
So you, like, you know women,
like you know how to treat women?
Yeah, so I have older sisters and little baby sisters.
And you're feminine energy then, like...
Yeah, I've always been around, like my,
like I'm best friends with my older sister.
Taylor answered them quickfire questions quick.
And I'm like, that means he knows.
He knows what he wants and he knows who he is.
Green flag.
Do you want kids and stuff as well?
Like, is that... 100%.
How many?
Ideally, I'd like,
I'd like two or three, two boys and a girl.
He was just saying all of the right things.
Honestly, like, I feel like the guys up there
are like boys.
I feel like they've sent us a man.Oh, my God.
He's just come in and like that, we all had...
Yeah, eyes on him.
Sticky, sticky, sticky.
Mixed feels? Mixed feels.
He's definitely a good looking bloke,
and he's well spoken.
He's definitely a big bomb to drop on day one.
They're coming! The boys are on the move.Oh, shit.
Lads.
How are we?
The door's that way.
Hi, fellas. How are we?
I'm better now that I'm here.
Hey, Taylor. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Indigo.
Taylor's definitely looking like a bit of competition.
Like, all the boys at this point should be worried.
Man's got style. He's got rizz.
So whereabouts are you from?
Um, originally from south east Brisbane,
but I live in Melbourne.
How old are you? Yeah, 28.
28? Yeah.
And so now that we're here... TEXT ALERT
Wait, who was that? That's you.
I've got a text! CHEERING

ALL EXCLAIM
What a gift. Whoa!
Interesting.
And I'm really hoping he chooses me.
Let's do it.
Let's go... Go with my closest girls.
OK. Let's do it.
"I'm just going to kiss the two that are closest."
And I was like, goddamn it.
OK. This way. OK.
# Taking me higher Where I've never been before
# Spark up a fire
# Burning flames Out on the floor
# Killin' me Your style shines so bright
# They beg for more
# So watch me. #
All right. OK.
The kiss was really, really good.
He's definitely the best kisser, for sure.
Come on, babe. Come here, darling.
# I'm coming to get ya
# I'm coming to take Everything that is mine... #
From what I could see,
Hannah looked a little interested.
# I got some news for you. #
You know, she looked right in his eyes,
right after the kiss.
I was like, ooh.
That was great. Thanks for that.Welcome.
I feel a part of it. Awesome.
It was a very good kiss,
but it was right in front of Niko!
I was like, "Argh!"
What do you think of the villa?
Do you like it? It's sick.
Definitely up for a competition.
He's got to go through me if he wants to get to Hannah.
We'll give you a tour. Yeah, I need the tour.
We'll give you a tour. You guys stay there.
I feel like I'm gonna get lost out here, man.
I'm definitely going to put up a fight.
I'm definitely not gonna let this go on day one.
You know, there's no chance. No chance.
# I'm coming to get ya I'm coming to get ya. #
My type on paper, like Taylor, walks into the villa.
Like, it would be wrong not to, like,
see where things went.
Like that... Come on.
No, exactly.
# I'm coming to get ya I'm going to get ya. #
I don't know about you,
but this new boy seems "Taylor-made" for trouble.
Big sexy trouble.
NARRATOR: Next time...
TEXT ALERT
Boys, tonight, Taylor will steal one of your girls.
And someone's going home.
What?! EXCLAIMS
It's a dog eat dog world.
And he's just gonna kick me
if it means he's gonna get her.
Let's say I wasn't a bombshell and you had to choose a guy.
Who would you go to?
You're physically more my type.
There seems to be quite a connection between us.
Just stares into your soul, melts me a little bit.
Yeah, I definitely think I would like to get to know you.
Why is there so much stress with this shit?
I just don't even know what to think.
Yeah, I'm brickin' it.
