('JUST GIVE IT TO ME' BY LEE RICHARDSON PLAYS)
NARRATOR: Previously on Love Island Australia.
This will be the hardest decision I've had to make.
I do have to hurt someone.
Vakoo and Phoebe made their choice.
The boy that I'd like to couple up with is Jordan.
Callum.
..Leaving Stella and Layla single and vulnerable.
There is only one person who can save you.
That was new bomb, Ben.
The girl I'd like to couple up with is Stella.
Layla, darling, you've been left single,
and you are now dumped from the island.
Laters, Layla.
Tonight!
Have you checked the weather
'cause it's just as fine as yourself, you know?
Oh, my God.
Tapas!
I had a great day with Maddy today.
I'm really excited to see where things go.
Tension!
When we first got together, you said to me that you didn't
want to cuddle me out of respect for Claudia.
Why don't you have that respect for me?
Tears!
You start questioning. Are you good enough?
Are you who you thought you were?
You're in a room full of people and you don't really exist.
And turmoil!
This is not going to work if there there's no trust.
I have trust issues, so what would you like me to do?
There's no point.
Maybe I'm just, like, a little bit too complicated for you.
(EXASPERATED SIGH)
(OPENING SEQUENCE PLAYS)
Stella and Layla, one of you is about to be dumped from the villa.
Oh, my god.
There is only one person who can save you,
and his name is Ben.
(GASPS)
('ONE FALSE MOVE' BY ATOM MUSIC AUDIO PLAYING)
No way!
You're kidding.
('ONE FALSE MOVE' BY ATOM MUSIC AUDIO PLAYING)
The girl I'd like to choose tonight to couple up with...
is Stella.
Oh, my god.
Layla, you are now dumped from the island.
('ONE FALSE MOVE' BY ATOM MUSIC AUDIO PLAYING)
That was unexpected, moon!
Vakoo choosing to couple up with Callum,
resulting in Layla being dumped, has come as a massive shock.
It's going to take Callum seconds to get over it.
Big night. You've had a couple of big nights in a row now.
Fuck me.
I didn't expect it to go down like that, but.
I'm just going off what I feel.
Based on, like, our conversations and, like,
I've multiple times have asked if you're open,
and you have said yes.
Obviously, like, if you had said no, then, obviously,
I wouldn't have picked you 'cause... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's weird.
But at the end of the day, it's my own fault because I was laying it
on Vakoo and I was having a flirt and I wasn't closed off.
I didn't want to be closed off to her.
But I didn't expect this outcome.
Do you regret saying the stuff you've said?
'Cause, like, I've chosen you, and now it's like...
Nah, nah, I don't regret saying the things I've said,
but I think it's gonna take me
at least a day or two just to, like, reset. You know what I mean?
'Cause I feel like I've been, like, not smothered, but like,
Layla's been everywhere with me for the last couple days.
Vakoo knew she had to do what she had to do.
You know what I mean?
She's not going to come in here and pick the second best bloke,
she's going to pick number one.
And it's obviously going to be me, innit?
I don't even expect anything. Just go with the flow.
From you right now 'cause I know it's a lot.
You just lost someone, so you're kind of, like, in mourning.
So I'm... I'm not grieving.
(CROSSTALK)
It's Love Island 22. I'm like, come on.
Like, you've only known the girl for a week.
No, Callum, it's OK. You're grieving. This is a huge loss.
Fuck. I'm sad.
I will give you your space and your time.
I'm here. I want to get to know you.
Yeah.
And that's just...
See what happens. Yeah.
It's nice to know that he's not completely closed off
and he's willing to, you know, give it a chance.
It's going to make it easier that Layla isn't here.
Ben said choosing between Layla and Stella
was harder than doing derivative maths.
Now he's chosen, he can get his pencil out
and start working on finding a square root.
'Cause I want to get to know you a bit more, you know.
You can ask me anything you like. OK. Alright.
What are you here for?
I feel like I'm, like, craving, like,
someone to be with sort of thing.
And, like, I want to have that, like, partner who, like,
we like do things together and have fun together and, like, you know.
I really, like, I don't know. I really want that.
I actually like what I'm hearing right now, to be honest.
I'm being serious, you know. Oh, that's good.
I feel so happy 'cause all I wanted was someone
to come in here and like, want me, you know?
And I felt like he did that.
Like he was like, "Yep, Stella." You know?
And it feels good.
What are your hobbies? I didn't ask you about that.
I'm about to say this word, but I am not good at it.
It's just for fun.
Me and my friends go rollerskating, I'm the girl that's got knee pads.
I got everything on, and I'm just, like,
going down the ramp really fast. It's alright.
You just need a helping hand sometimes, don't you?
Yeah. Actually, like, I do like lawn bowls.
I know that's like cringe as shit.
No, no. I freaking love lawn bowls.
Yeah? Yeah. Like, I really respect that you said that.
Yeah. Because I really, like...
I really like lawn bowls as well.
He's a really nice guy.
He seems very sweet and means well,
so I'm intrigued and interested to see,
you know, who he is tomorrow and, like,
how he will be when he settles in.
Thank you for the cute speech, by the way.
You're welcome. It's nice.
Right now, I'm the happiest girl in the world because
I'm coupled up with the guy I had my eye on from day one.
So I'm over the moon.
How do you feel about Stella?
I feel good that she's here with him.
Yeah. Obviously, it's not easy.
But now, it's going to be easier because, you know.
She's got fresh meat to get to know.
Stella obviously told me that she's, you know,
she really likes me and stuff.
And yes, we've got feelings for each other,
but now we're in a separate couple and we need to focus on that.
And I'm excited for a cuddle.
Are ya? Who said you're getting one?
Me.
Yeah, I have to wait for my green light, don't I?
Nah, I'll give you a cuddle tonight, for sure.
Really? Yeah.
What's our safe word or our confirmation word for a kiss?
What should that be?
What's like something nice?
Peaches.
OK.
I don't know. It's a cool word. I don't know.
It's the first thing that come to my head.
(CHUCKLES)
I've got no idea.
Maybe 'cause she's got a nice little peach.
So, yeah, if you heard the word peaches dropped tonight,
you know what's going to be happening.
(INTERLUDE MUSIC PLAYS)
You're still here. I know!
I'm so happy you're still here.
Oh, I'm so happy too.
Honestly, like, I feel so grateful that, like, I am here.
It means I get to talk to you more.
Yeah! Yeah.
I know. That's so nice.
Yeah. I'm really looking forward to talking to you.
Yeah? You wanna pull me for some chats?
Yeah. All the time. What do you mean?
I've had feelings for Stella for a little while, but, yeah,
Jordan's my good mate, so I didn't want to step on his toes.
Now, this is my opportunity, you know.
one door closes, another door opens.
I was sort of, like, happy that Phoebe chose Jordan.
Yeah?
'Cause that means I got a chance to actually get to know you.
You know what I mean? 'Cause I don't think I've had that chance.
Yeah. And I still do want to get to know you.
Yeah. I think that's nice.
I want to get to know you too.
I was super nervous to tell Stella how I felt.
Stella's absolutely stunning in every way.
I think me and Stella have a connection,
and I feel like we just never explored it.
Honestly, like, I get along with you so well.
So, like, it's nice.
It's nice that you, like, feel the same too.
Yeah, of course I do.
I always have.
Let's chat more.
I think we should.
What? Don't start making me nervous 'cause then I'll be weird.
Don't! Stop it. I think that's sweet.
And I like that.
On one hand, you've got Jordan, who I'm really sad about losing,
but I know it's for the best.
And then on the other hand, I haven't closed myself off.
I think some of the other girls are, like, wifed up.
So, you know, got to stay open, got to be yourself,
and good things will come to you.
But, yeah, I guess I can't complain.
That's a good position to be in.
('SUNDANCING' BY CHASHE MORA-WEST PLAYS)
You smell good. Go on. You spray heaps.
Oh, come here, you little snack.
I'm bored over there by myself.
That's alright.
I'll be your entree and then Phoebe can be your main course. Yeah.
What do I do? Yeah. Like, what do you do to indicate to someone
that you want to kiss them? You lay there.
So if we're, like, having pillow chat...
Yeah. So, like, talking?
Yeah. I would, like, maybe like that.
And then I'm probably like, if she..
Like, I'd just go for it.
That's so good.
But, like, first I'd like, be like...
Oh, you'd, like, start getting touchy like that?
Yeah. Oh, don't go.
Like, are you feeling giddy?
I don't know. I just feel excited. I don't know.
Yeah. I just feel excited, like.
And the sexual tension with her is real.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like...
She puts it on pretty heavy sometimes.
I'm like, "Oh."
I feel like you've got to have sexual tension.
Did you feel sexual tension for Stella?
Like, yes, but no, it was like I didn't
because we were emotionally getting to know each other.
And then when Phoebe kissed me, I was like,
"Oh, that was a pretty good kiss."
Oh, in the challenge?
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes you a bit like, "I want to do that again."
Oh, no way.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
(SNICKERING)
I will destroy you.
No, I would destroy you.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm going to see Jordan and Phoebe H going to bed.
That's going to be a little bit hurtful.
I can't say that you ever watch a guy that
you like in bed with another girl.
('THINKING OF YOU' BY FELICITY PLAYS)
But I'm tough.
I've got this. I'm strong.
I can do it.
('THINKING OF YOU' BY FELICITY PLAYING)
Are you going under the sheet or not? Yeah.
I get to cuddle Jordan in bed tonight,
and I'm really hungry for some peaches.
('THINKING OF YOU' BY FELICITY PLAYING)
Happy dance!
('THINKING OF YOU' BY FELICITY PLAYING)
('THIS IS LOVE' BY BIGGER STORY MUSIC PLAYS)
('THIS IS LOVE' BY BIGGER STORY MUSIC PLAYING)
Next, Stella snaps.
That's so rude. Those are my feelings.
I'm so riled up, and you want me to sit here and be like,
"Oh, it's all good." No.
It's like, "Oh, dude, you couldn't even wait?"
Is that bad?
Wow.
The gentle sunshine and brutal fluorescent lights
herald the dawn of a new day.
Last night was a bumpy ride for Stella.
Her ex, Jordan and Phoebe H had a bumpy ride too
after they got under the covers.
Mitchy boy.
What is happening?
The last few days have been bittersweet
for many of the Islanders.
But for Jordan and Phoebe H, it's all peaches and cream.
How was the first night with Phoebe H?
Yeah, it was good.
More eventful?
It was a little bit eventful, yeah,
like we had to build a fucking pillow wall at one stage.
There was a lot of tension that was released.
So, it was good fun.
It's mad though how you can get a sexual connection
with somebody like way more than somebody else.
Like, some people you want to rip their clothes off
and other people you just don't wanna bother, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Jordan has really fucking pissed me off.
Because this whole fucking time, I feel like he's completely misled me.
He's saying we need to take things slower.
And then as soon as it's her first night here,
he's fucking macking on with that girl right in front of me.
And then I'm going like, OK, I get it, you've got a connection.
But why the fuck would you tell me all those other things?
I was so riled up.
I wish that he would have told me earlier
that maybe he wasn't feeling it.
That's so rude.
Those are my feelings, and I just feel like I'm like,
was I just blinded by all this shit?
I invested time and energy into being with you,
and you made me feel a certain way and then you just took it away
and you want me to sit here and be like, "Oh, it's all good."
No.
I was just like, fucking, we can't do this on the first night, can we?
(LAUGHTER)
How far did she wanna go?
I don't know. Did she wanna go homerun?
I don't know. We were just getting a bit touchy-feely.
So, I was like, pillow wall, let's just put this to an end.
Gosh, I'm so tired.
It's like I can't function.
Why are you so tired?
Because I was getting my peaches from the tree.
The whole night? Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
I was climbing the peach tree.
I'm so naughty because I couldn't really keep my hands to myself.
I think there's so much, like, sexual chemistry
between Jordan and I.
It's good to be happy.
But also be considerate of others here.
Yeah, of course.
One more. One more. One more. Up. Up. Up.
With Stella still raw about Jordan, Phoebe H has the decency
not to mention any dirty details, until they're sitting side by side.
I'm like, not gonna lie, a little giddy schoolgirl.
Like, now that I'm in a couple with him.
We cuddled last night, so it was cute.
It's a bit of a weird thing for me to go from, yes.
Staying in the same bed to, like,
then watching you guys cuddle and like, I'm like, "Oh, OK."
That was me last night. Yeah.
Like, you know. Weird transition.
I'm a very affectionate person,
so I was just trying to be, like, respectful.
And that was another thing, just out of respect.
Like, we just made up like, a little code word - peaches - so that, like,
he could give me, like, the green light to when it would be OK.
So you made up the code word straight away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
It's so respectful... I feel void.
That's respectful. Isn't it?
Is that sarcasm?
It's like, oh, dude, you couldn't even wait.
I don't think I'm very, like, switched on like that.
Can you please explain? Like...
If a new girl came in and he made a code word with her,
you would feel a bit like, oh, that sucks.
I do want people to call me out for, like,
things that I shouldn't be doing.
So, Stella telling me how she felt about the peaches code word,
like, I definitely understand where she's coming from now.
I am not one to hold a grudge, and I am happy for you guys.
And I can see you guys connect really well.
So, that is... Thank you.
You're so strong.
Like, if I were in your position, I'd be, like, bawling my eyes out.
From bawling to free-balling, members of the Church of St Protein
of the Blessed Rig gather to welcome new brother, Ben.
Gentlemen.
I reckon we start out with Ben?
How do you feel with Stella? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I felt like we had a lot of common ground.
Our humour is the same.
Sharing the bed with Stella last night, I kept it pretty separate.
Just because, you know, you got to take things at your own pace.
And that's what I want to do here.
Tak. I don't know.
I sort of had a rough, rough go at it, you know.
Real? Yeah.
Where to from here, though, Tak?
Like, in terms of who you got your eyes on now?
Me? Yeah.
Stella.
Yeah, Stella.
I think I really get along well with Stella
and we've always got along well.
I feel like Stella is a very special girl,
and I picked her for a date, you know, at the start.
Then she got swooped up by Jordy.
Yeah. I've had feelings for Stella for a while, and look,
the boys don't know that because obviously,
I've taken a step back for Jordan out of respect.
You know, she's looking for someone that puts her first
and looking for someone that gives her 100%.
You know, and reassures her.
That's not really putting her first, is it?
I didn't...
Can I just finish speaking? Is that OK?
There you go.
Tak saying he's interested in Stella is just a little bit of a...
almost like a cop-out, you know?
If he wanted to pursue Stella, he's had a lot of chances to.
There you go.
Yeah.
Anyway.
I just felt it was a bit rude that Mitch interrupted me
when I mentioned Stella's name.
I've tried to be a good person not making a move on Stella earlier.
Now it's blowing up in my face once again.
And you, Austen.
Me and Claudia had a chat last night.
And yeah, bro, my head is fuckin' proper scrambled now.
Why?
We were talking about the outside world.
Yeah.
And she was like, she doesn't know if she can deal with
the attention that I get from girls.
It's fucking hard because she's, like, a beautiful girl,
and I'm just like, it's not gonna work if there's no trust.
Don't need to talk about that because you can't get jealous
about what hasn't even happened yet, you know?
(PHONE CHIMES) Oh, oh. Let's move.
Oh, Benny boy.
Alright. Everyone, I got a text!
(CHEERS, APPLAUSE)
Just yell it. Just shout really loudly.
(READS)
(APPLAUSE)
Who do you want to go on a date with?
I pick Maddy.
Go get ready. Go get ready.
See you later.
Pick a sexy fit.
I chose Maddy to go on a date with me
because she's absolutely gorgeous,
and I feel like she is amazing in every way from what I can see.
I'm just excited as hell to explore that.
Go, Maddy. Go, Maddy. Go, Maddy.
(CHANTS CONTINUE)
I feel really flattered.
I'm super stoked that he chose me,
and I can't wait to get to know him a little bit more.
Babe, you look fucking hot. I've done perfume.
Like I want to do you, take you home, and take you on a date.
It'll be nice to be able to leave the villa and have a conversation
with a little bit less pressure and intensity around it.
Bye guys. Bye guys.
We go this way down the tunnel.
Tunnel of love.
They look so good.
It's a beautiful day for a beautiful date.
And doesn't Maddy need one?
She came in hot as a bombshell, but nothing's worked.
Now, usually, we blow the date's budget on our nightly crew party.
But for Maddy, we're taking the unprecedented step
of spending the money on an actual blowout date.
We've hired the three best traffic cones on the island
to block off this cobblestone square for 15 whole minutes.
Ben, you're on the clock, buddy.
Good luck.
Let me get you a chair.
Yes, please.
There you go. Thank you.
No worries.
Finally, alone time away from all the action.
Yes. I know. It's nice to have a little private moment.
Well, cheers to the first date together.
Cheers to the first date.
Oh, that's nice.
Hmm. On a beautiful day like today.
You need cold sangria.
Yeah. I must say, though, have you checked the weather
because just as fine as yourself, you know.
Oh, my God. OK. I'll accept that. I'll accept that.
Is there anyone else?
Like, any of the other girls in the Villa that you've got your
eye on or that you're keen to chat to a little bit more?
Not yet.
But obviously, in the next couple of days, that will open up for me.
But, you know, I'm really, like, feeling comfortable
now talking to you.
I'm glad I made you feel comfortable.
Sorry about coming in as a bomb, especially as you did last night.
But I feel something else with you.
And that's why I kind of wanted to explore that today.
Yeah. Cheers to that.
Should we try one of these things? Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Is that a pickle?
I've always wanted to try pickles and ice cream.
Oh, really? Pregnant women say that's, like, what they crave.
French fries and soft serve.
Oh, yeah.
I'm glad you said that.
So I guess it'll be a summer wedding.
Now, while Al maybe a professor of advanced maths,
Jess has been tutoring him on basic girl.
No, she's annoyed because Jordan knows about the connection
with Phoebe and doesn't have an issue.
Fair enough but he should have communicated that better.
Because, look, honestly...
So if I want to mack on with another girl, I should tell you first.
No, it's not about that, Al.
But it's fucking be honest about your feelings.
Because he was lying to her,
she committed to him.
And she almost got fucking dumped for it.
She could have been exploring other people.
Are you Team Stella or Team Phoebe H?
Team Stella all the fucking way.
I just wanted to, like, pull you for a chat.
I feel like I've, like, really, like, respected, like,
every single thing that you've, like, thrown at me.
But then, like, you know, I've been told that you've made this,
like, code word for this sexual stuff.
And I'm just...
That's not what it is at all. I understand.
But like, for me, like when everyone's, like, making these,
like, peaches jokes while I'm just like,
sitting there and like, all the boys are,
like, making all those things, like...
That's out of my control. I know, but...
I didn't tell any of them that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Trying to please everyone in here is fucking near on impossible.
So, it's just hard.
Every single decision that you've made, I've fully been supportive of.
But then when all this stuff kind of happens,
it's kind of a bit of a slap in the face to me.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, and like I...so, but I...
In what way do I throw it in your face?
Like, you know, when we first got together on that very first night,
you said to me that you didn't want to
cuddle me out of respect for Claudia.
Yeah. Right? Yeah. Why don't you have that respect for me?
Because this was two, three days brewing.
So she's picked me, getting to know her.
You and me, it was just that night, boom, one night.
Jordan didn't fully grasp how much it may have hurt me.
And I think to him, he's going so well with
Phoebe that he's kind of forgotten that,
like, I had feelings there.
And it's hurtful going through what I'm going through.
I just wish that, like, right now you would see that I'm just coming
from a place of hurt and like, I'm trying so hard to, like,
be your friend and, like, be OK in this environment when, like,
someone who I've been coupled out with who I actually liked.
Yeah. Is now with another girl.
Like, that's how...it's like, a lot for me to process.
I've been there. Yeah, exactly. So you understand, right?
I understand.
I feel bad, but at the same time, if I sit here and feel bad forever,
I'm going to be chewed up and spat out.
But, yeah, just like, excuse me if, like, over the next few days,
I just, like, steer clear of, like, you and Phoebe.
Yeah. And I did the exact same with Austen and Claudia.
I still feel like it was a productive chat.
And I think with this sort of closure,
I can actually try and move on
and try and make connections with other people.
Alright. Thanks.
Hey, good luck.
Same.
# I just wanna oh-oh-oh
# Feel ya
# I just wanna... #
OK, guys, hurry along! Thank you.
This place needs to be turned back into Crazy Huan's
second-hand car dealership in six minutes!
What was your last experience like with a girl?
Was it like a situationship?
Or did you go on just maybe a couple of dates?
Like, have you been on casual hookups?
Like, what's the go?
I think it, it was more a short-term relationship.
And like, obviously, we like, just, like,
vibed, and like, we developed together.
Why did it end?
Um... (EXHALES)
I kind of, ugh...
I kind of broke her heart a little bit.
Did you?
She wanted to advance things a little bit,
and it was kind of on my side I wasn't
really sure 'cause I didn't feel 110%.
Right. I'm being completely honest.
Yeah. Be honest. This is the time to do it.
This is Love Island. That's it.
You can't hold back. So, just tell me everything.
Dish the dirt.
I've said this to many people.
I do wanna find the love of my life in this place,
like, from the bottom of my heart.
I just know if you're in the right time or the right,
right place you can find it.
I'm really looking forward to having someone like you in the villa.
Yeah. You're gonna bring a different type of dynamic,
so it'll be really good to see...
Someone they have never seen before. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Thank you. Definitely.
So, the final chapter of the date.
It's been lovely getting to know you.
I have a special quarter.
I want you to make a wish.
Let's go. Let's do it.
(PERCUSSIVE MUSIC PLAYS)
Make a wish. Oh, are we doing it at the same time?
D'you wanna do it at the same time? Same time.
Cool. Ready? OK. Let's go.
Ready? (IMITATES WOMAN VOICE) I wish we could go home.
(IMITATES GUTTURAL VOICE) Oh, I wish we could stay.
Think it's gonna come true?
Yep. 100%. Thanks for the date today.
You're very welcome.
(BELL TOLLS) Ah! There we go.
Oh, maybe that's a sign.
100%.
Just like that church bell,
they were hitting the bongs for the rest of the afternoon.
Stay in school kids. Don't do drugs!
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
Coming up.
I'm literally your red flag. I have trust issues.
So, what would you like me to do?
If there's no light at the end of the tunnel, like, there's no point.
(SCOFFS) I don't know what to feel.
(SNIFFLES) It's just not enough.
Al and Jess have been together for almost a week,
so they've moved way beyond the shallow conversations
and are now sitting at the other end of the pool.
Al, do you, do you look at like a girl's toes?
Now, I'm looking at them, and I'm... Do you suck toes?
Nah.
(LAUGHTER) He would.
He looks like someone that would.
Would you suck Jess's toes?
No, please don't. If you want me to suck your toes, I'll suck your toes.
I don't like toe sucking. It would be so ticklish.
I really don't like... I'd clean her toe nail with my teeth.
Ew!
You're such a (INDISTINCT).
I'll be like... Just clip it too.
(CHUCKLES)
I think that's romance.
That's romance.
Romance or toemance.
Either way, Al nailed it.
(MUSIC PLAYS)
Ben and Maddy are returning from their date at the Magic Fountain.
And I suspect they may also have wished to
come back to our traditional Love Island, "Ey!"
ALL: Hey!
What's going on, squad? Ey! They're back!
Hi. Yay!
(CROSSTALK)
How was the tapas?
Can you confirm what a tapas is?
Like little bread things, right?
Nah. It was like olives and octopus, and stuff.
It was different, bro.
It's like little portions of food and it's made for sharing.
Oh. The sangria hit the spot.
Talk to us. How was it?
Awesome, bro. We were like in this little town.
Like the breeze was going.
Perfect, man.
I had a great day with Maddy today.
I'm really excited to see where things go.
Yeah, it was good.
It was really good.
Well, OK, so our date was set up like Old Town, the middle of, like,
a courtyard area where there's like, restaurants and stuff.
They were all shut. They were having a siesta at the moment...
Ah!
What does that mean?
Siesta's like where they have a nap. Like a nap.
Like a chill time. Oh, wow! I wanna work here.
Was it a good date, though?
Yeah, it was good. It was a good date.
Did you kiss? No, we didn't kiss.
No, it was not the vibe for that.
He did hold my hand a lot, though.
Oh, did... Like he wanted to hold my hand a lot.
That's actually, really sweet.
Yeah, that's really sweet. He was definitely being like a gentleman.
Yeah. I feel like he is a gentleman.
He is a gentleman. He is.
He's a really nice person.
And I can tell that he would treat a woman right.
So, what do you like about Maddy?
I like her class.
I like how grounded and determined she is.
Did you compliment her? Absolutely, bro.
Yeah. The weather one worked. What weather one?
So, have you checked the weather?
'Cause you're lookin' fine, just like outside.
So, yeah, that worked. And yeah, it was cool.
She thought it was cute.
Every girl's gonna receive that well. If you don't then, uh!
I don't know what else I've gotta give to you.
I'm a bit of a cute guy, bro, to be honest, I really am.
Overall, good date.
But are you vibing him like, in that way?
Nah. So, friendship?
Probably. Yeah.
He's very respectful, though.
He's like the kind of person, I think, would just adore a woman.
To be honest, he's not someone that I think is suitable for me.
And I don't feel that sexual attraction.
But I can picture that there is a girl out there that would love him.
While the other islanders frolic poolside,
Tak's feeling out of sorts.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Killed it. That's it.
(CHEERS)
He did it by himself for, like, ten seconds.
Did you let go? Yes. (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
Go this way.
('WHEN YOU FOLD AWAY' BY RUPERT POPE & JACK RATCLIFFE PLAYS)
I think I was definitely a bit upset Vakoo didn't choose me.
Not really being selected as a number one pick and sort of always
being in the background sort of gets to you a little bit.
('WHEN YOU FOLD AWAY' BY RUPERT POPE & JACK RATCLIFFE PLAYS)
You alright?
Just taking a moment, bro.
What's going through your head? What you thinking about?
(EXHALES) Heaps of shit, eh.
Like what? What's the main thing?
I just feel disconnected.
In what sense?
# When you fold away... #
Just everything in general.
# Oh-oh-oh no #
You just start questioning yourself a little bit,
and you start questioning, are you good enough?
Are you, you know, who you thought you were?
And it just hits you.
It's like you're in a room full of people, and you don't really exist.
What'd you mean, bro?
(TAK SOBS)
I don't want you to feel disconnected, bro.
(TAK SOBS)
We're a pack. We do everything together.
We're all here for each other, bro.
We're all here for ourselves... Yeah.
We're all here for ourselves in regards to finding love.
But when it comes down to it, bro, we're all here for each other.
I just wanna help you. I want you to, like, try to open up.
I want you to have like... If I could help you, bro,
I would help you. You know what I mean? Like...
I can definitely see why be might be having a hard time in the villa.
He's kind of like in limbo lounge.
I do feel bad for him 'cause I genuinely think he's a nice bloke.
I wanna be here for you, bro.
We're all in the same boat.
You was there for me last night when I was upset, so.
Yeah, I know how you feel, bro.
Tak and Vakoo's chat about drinking her cremated ashes
led to a smouldering kiss.
It was smoking hot, but he got burned when it went up in flames.
Vakoo's love, like her ashes, must be 'urned.'
Cremation puns. Bam!
Tak. Tak. Tak. Vak. Vak. Vak.
What happened? What's up?
What's up with you?
Nothing.
What? Why? What do you mean nothing?
Obviously, there's something. What happened?
Nothing.
Things with Tak and I are very rocky.
Maybe somehow I gave him the impression that
I was going to pick him at the recoupling.
So, I think he's a bit upset with me.
Me choosing Callum, like, I understand.
Like, that hurt you and that hurt your feelings.
But that doesn't mean, that doesn't mean anything.
If I chose you, I still would have tried to get to know Callum anyway.
I chose Callum, and I still wanna get to know you.
Like you have been very open and like you've been like,
I have a crush on you, and you know Callum is...
And I do. Yeah, and Callum's like the opposite.
It's like the chase and stuff like that.
That's really why I even feel something.
And I came into this experience to do things differently,
and to not make the same mistakes I usually make.
Which is why I've still been open to you.
But I'm really sorry that, that made you feel like that.
And I, I wish you could have just talked to me about it
'cause I could have just said that to you last night instead of
you replaying it in your head all...
Like, I don't wanna make you feel that way.
I understand why he's upset, but I think it's something
that he should just talk to me about.
You're not like a second choice. Callum's not better than you.
There's nothing wrong with you.
I'm very much still open to getting to know you,
and I want to get to know you.
And...yeah.
OK. You know, after talking to Vak everything feels
like a lot better, and a lot easier.
And I'm definitely hitting the reset button,
and just being myself again, I think.
No crying.
Stop looking at me like that.
I don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
(SNIFFLES)
(NASAL BURST OF LAUGHTER) That was so cringy.
(BOTH LAUGH) (UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS)
Today's lesson, hot people, maths!
Austen plus fame multiplied by Claudia plus jealousy
equals hot couple divided by trust issues.
Why do we actually need to have a chat?
Wait, are you being serious?
Yeah, I wish it was. Are you OK?
Mm. What's wrong?
Thinking about last night.
Yeah, that trust thing, like, really fucking got to me, like, hard.
What d'you mean?
Like, you not being able to trust me.
OK.
It's so easy to fall for Austen. Anyone would fall for Austen.
You look in his eyes, you fall in love with him.
I'm just nervous that everyone else is gonna wanna like, go for him.
This is not gonna work if there's no trust.
I just don't trust boys.
Is it something that needs work?
Probably. Like, in my head, self-sabotaging.
And I need to stop doing it.
But like, it is so hard to do it.
And I blame every ex-boyfriend I've ever had.
Usually, at this stage, I'll leave the person
and run for my dear life to try and protect myself.
Trust issues are big for me 'cause I have trust issues.
And reassurance might not be enough for me
because that's just how my brain works.
'Cause people have fucked me over in the past.
I'm just a typical girl, but like, a bit more crazy.
But I'm not gonna be with someone that can't trust me.
I said I was always happy to reassure you, but like,
if there's no light at the end of the tunnel, like, there's no point.
I've explained this to you.
I'm literally your red flags.
Like, I don't know how to communicate and I have trust issues.
So, what would you like me to do?
'Cause I can try, but it's not gonna be fucking easy.
I've told you that.
(EXHALES) What's the point of me like even trying
if I'm just gonna be in the same spot?
D'you know what?
Maybe I'm just like, a little bit too, like, complicated for you.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Do you think I'm too nice?
(SCOFFS) Yep.
Huh?
OK. Are we done?
No. You can go.
(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)
I don't know what to do.
Right. OK.
Yeah. I don't know.
It's, (EXHALES DEEPLY) it's just frustrating
'cause I'm put in the same category as like,
all the other guys that she's been with.
And like, I know I can't help that, and I know that it's her past,
but I don't know, I'm flooded with emotions, so I don't know.
I don't know what to feel.
(WISTFUL MUSIC PLAYS)
In the past, Claudia was seeing f-boys.
Sadly, now she sees f-boys everywhere, even doubting Austen,
who, it pains me to say, appears perfect in every way.
She needs the safety you only get when dating a supremely average man.
Are you okay? No. Can you come in here?
Yes.
I walked past and he looked really sad and I was like,
Because I'm just sick of our conversations.
We've had three conversations where he's like,
"If you're not going to have communication with me,
then we should just end it here."
I really fucking like this guy.
I don't know what to do.
All good?
What?
Have you done your work out?
Nah. I'll talk to you.
I don't know, man.
What? What happened?
Tell us. We'll get through it.
Did you pull her for a chat? Yeah.
I said trust is key.
And I said if you can't have trust, we can't do this.
If I keep reassuring and doing everything
I can to make her secure with me,
and, you know, for her to be like, it might not work.
So I'm like, whoa, then what am I gonna do?
Just cop it? Sit there and cop it?
I like... There's no trust.
Because if you don't have trust...
If you don't have trust, it's like, what the fuck is the point?
What's the point?
So, like, every time we go out, we're just gonna argue?
Yeah. If she can't trust you in here,
how is she gonna trust you in the real world?
In my head, every guy messes up.
That's just how it is. And I don't want to have to deal with that.
We can't think about what we do on the outside world
'cause this is nowhere near the outside world.
I know, but I'm thinking about the outside world.
The outside world is so far away from us right now.
Like we have to just think about what is going on in this moment.
I know. But I feel like he's just not showing me enough
that he actually cares about me.
If there's no light at the end of the tunnel, like,
with me doing all this work and reassurance, I'm like...
Why am I bothering?
Exactly. What's the point?
What's the point of this?
How did it end? Like, what was the last words like...?
She was like, "You got to think about it, like what you want."
And I don't know if I want that now.
No matter how much you try to prove yourself
that you are not the same as other guys, it's just not enough.
Fuck, I'm not going to cry.
(MUSIC PLAYS)
I've had so many things done to me that I'm like,
it really messes with your head.
So you don't believe that there are any good guys out there.
So it's hard to believe that Austen is a good guy.
I want Claudia, but a part of me is also, like, fuck, man.
Like, there's just going to be a loop.
I think Austen is like, the perfect guy to grow with and change with,
but I don't think I'm allowing myself to do that because,
like, I'm starting to think maybe Austen needs someone
who's more secure in themself, I don't think I am.
I don't know.
Like, I don't know. Maybe she does need someone not like me.
I don't know.
Does make you feel shit, but. It does make you feel shit.
Next time.
It's a romantic date for Jess and Al.
Oh, there we go! Oh my gosh, so scary!
Until it isn't.
Al. I got a text.
Oh, my God.
I actually feel sick.
"Al and Jess, today isn't just a date.
"It's a business meeting too.
"Tonight, one islander will be dumped from the Villa.
"It is you who must decide who is in the firing line."
Oh!
