NARRATOR: Previously on Love Island Australia.
She is amazing in every way.
I'm just excited as hell to explore that.
Some felt a spark...
Right now, I'm the happiest girl in the world.
Some felt left out...
It's kind of a bit of a slap in the face to me.
You're in a room full of people and don't really exist.
While Claudia and Austen flamed out.
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.
Tonight!
This is massive for Mitch, so that meant a lot.
You love me. You love me.
Compatible...
I honestly see you fitting into my life.
Or not compatible.
So, what was your plan tonight? To not talk to me the whole night?
That is the question.
Al and Jessica, you must decide which couple
is the least likely to fall in love.
Make your decision wisely.
One islander will be dumped from the villa.
The couple that is least likely to fall in love is...
(THEME MUSIC)
This is not gonna work if there's no trust.
Trust issues are big for me.
But I'm not gonna be with someone that can't trust me.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Are you OK?
I don't know what to feel.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I'm starting to think maybe Austen needs someone
who's more secure in themself and I don't think I am.
I don't know.
AUSTEN: I want Claudia but part of me is also like, fuck me,
like, it's just gonna be a loop.
Phoebe's relationship with Mitch has taught her a lot,
so she uses her considerable experience of being
disappointed to help her friend, Austen.
What is up, my guy?
So, I had a talk with Claudia.
Yeah.
I feel like I do a very good job of, like, reassuring her, but like,
if there's no light then, like, kind of like, what's the point?
Yeah. What are you moving towards?
Yeah. I think she's just self-sabotaging hard.
All I want for her is just to try.
I'm just trying to give Claudia space.
Like, you know, maybe she just needs some time to think.
What's going on with you?
Austen, just before he was like, "If we're not gonna have any trust,
then we should just stop it." And I'm like,
"If you want to keep saying this stuff..."
Are you reassuring him?
I have told him I have fucking trust issues, 'cause I do.
He has done nothing wrong but it's like he's making these ultimatums.
Like, if this is the case...
Then it's over.
And he's, like, so easy to just jump on, like the, "No, we're done."
I project, and I definitely don't live in the now.
Like, I'll be in the now having the best time of my life,
and I'll still be thinking about what's to come.
I also think he's a very, like, naive.
He's never been cheated on.
He has never cheated.
It's 'cause he's innocent. He's a very innocent person.
He doesn't think anyone will do that.
Maybe, you should explain, "OK, look,
"I get where you're coming from,
"but because you haven't been through what I've been through,
you need to understand, like, this is why I'm like this."
Like, I feel like you need to say that and state that.
He can reassure me 1,000 times but the one time I feel
not reassured is what I'll grab and take and run with.
When you can confide in your partner
and tell them exactly what's hurt you,
they understand how to treat you better.
You know what I mean?
Don't just give up just because it's getting into the deep stuff.
You can't just give up on something.
If you guys are meant to be together,
then you know it's gonna work out.
Mitch consults the girls
about planning a surprise dinner for Phoebe.
It's an Italian dish with a kiwi twist, that I think
you get by 'pissing' - pessing? - in a saucepan.
I'm making a dinner for Phoebe.
Making chicken pesto pasta.
ALL: Oh! Shut up.
(CROSSTALK)
Phoebe is trying to teach me to be a good boyfriend.
And so I'm trying to get some A's and some B's
in the exam of being not an F-boy.
So, you guys need to keep her in here and not let her come out.
We won't. Yeah.
I'm just really the much of a romantic kind of guy,
but I'm trying for Phoebe.
How much pasta do we put in, bruv?
Put it all in.
Cooking is hard. It is hard. And I think we came across
a couple of obstacles.
Should I taste one? You got to throw it at the wall.
If it sticks to the wall, it's cooked.
I don't love this.
It's not cooked.
To be honest, we overestimated that how good we were.
Alright.
Fuckin' hell.
What do I do?
You should put it back in the bag. Yes. You hold, I'll put.
I dropped the spinach, that's a three-second rule.
(LAUGHTER)
Callum dropped the spinach and that's another three-second rule.
I don't know if there's a six-second rule.
(LAUGHTER)
We still used it 'cause we're not about to waste that much spinach.
Oh, fuck, bro.
Time to get ready. What colour are you gonna wear?
Jordan, is that you?
Orange. Orange.
So, we have to keep Phoebe preoccupied.
I've lost everything.
I know.
It's really hard in here, everything just gets so messy and random.
I just let her leave.
Oh my god, we just let Phoebe go.
We, like, lost her, we actually lost track of where Phoebe was.
Phoebe! Yeah. What?
Come here! What's going on? What do you need?
I was going to tie my hair back. What do you need?
I'll give you hair tie. Yeah.
No, it was not simple, and we may have messed up a few times.
You guys are being fucking weirdos.
Mitch gave me the nice, easy job to decorate the picnic area.
I think I've got a keen eye for that sort of stuff.
I've got a BHB in design - decor and design.
Mitch.
Yeah, bro, it's good.
It's done.
Then you sort of mix this in.
Mix that in, bro.
Yeah, that's good.
It was intense. There was pressure,
but that's where the saying comes from, doesn't it?
If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Why does it look like that?
This looks like a three-year-old made it.
It's the thought that counts.
Yeah, mate. I think that's fantastic.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Come on, you little...
Come on, you little snack.
I'm scared. What are you guys up to?
Bye. Bye, enjoy. I love you.
You guys are being sus as fuck.
What is going on?
It's just a little surprise that someone's arranged for you.
It's like my best friend's giving me away.
Yeah.
Enjoy your night.
Thank you.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you? I'm good.
So, I thought, you know, to prove I'm a bit more boyfriend material,
I've cooked you a dinner.
You've...
I've cooked you dinner. You've cooked me dinner?
I've cooked you dinner, yeah.
It's coming.
(ATTEMPTS FRENCH ACCENT) Ho ho ho, dinner is served.
(LAUGHTER)
You did not make that!
I did make this. You did not cook that.
I did. I cooked these all and Callum, by myself.
This is really cute.
I haven't even taste-tested it myself.
So, it could be really... It could be really bad.
It smells pretty good. Does it? It smells like pasta.
I'm really nervous. Cheers. Cheers.
Ready?
What do you rate it at?
What?
Kind of just tasted like one of those meals that you get from,
like, frozen section at the supermarket.
I think it is really sweet.
It's the thought that counts, right?
That's why this actually tastes so good.
'Cause it's made with love. Because it's made with...
It's made with like.
Stop saying you love me.
This is massive for Mitch. So to me, that means a lot.
And he did well.
Have I moved from the back of the fuck-boy class to maybe midway now?
Mm-hmm. Have I?
I'm always going to be at the front of the classroom
being the teacher's pet.
I keep saying this word, but I don't mean it.
What is the word? You love me!
You love me.
I can't stop smiling.
(CHANTING)
The islanders break into bubbly to welcome the villa's very own Big Ben.
Like the clock, he's massive, good with his hands
and people come from far and wide to experience the famous dong.
(CROSSTALK)
Alright.
I would like to make a toast tonight to our new bomb, Ben.
Thank you.
We hope you've had a really great first day,
and it's been really nice to get to know you.
And welcome to our Love Island family.
Here's to big bomb energy.
(CHEERS)
Let's go!
Yeah, Ben. Scull it. Scull it, Ben.
Oh. He's going to do it.
No, he won't!
He did it. (CROSSTALK)
Now, just like in the Army, there's no better way to welcome
a new guy than with a game that involves a whole lot of kissing.
Time to roll the dice.
Die? Dice. Whatever.
(PHONE CHIMES)
ALL: Oh! I got a text!
(READS)
The islanders will roll the giant fluffy dice
and then do the corresponding dare from the box.
Kiss the most intelligent islander.
Can't kiss yourself.
Damn. This is something happening.
It was a lot of fun to see everyone's wild sides come out.
Kiss the loudest islander.
Oh, Callum!
That's easy, bro!
(CHEERS)
She wanted to taste the Welsh Stallion. I don't blame her.
That definitely shut him up for a little bit.
Make out with the closest tree.
(LAUGHTER)
..Baby!
Man, that tree was looking good.
Bro, there's spiderwebs and shit! Killer.
The fuck.
Definitely saw the tree oozing sap.
So I think I made the tree moist.
Lick an islander's finger and say, "Thank you, Daddy."
Thank you, Daddy.
Mitch did a good job.
You know, he knows how to turn... He knows how to turn a bloke on.
Demonstrate your favourite sex move.
I volunteer as tribute. I'll be a prop.
Put the legs all the way up in the air.
Oh, my God. That was hot.
Things got a bit sparky spicy on stage.
Give your favourite islander a sexy lap dance.
Oh.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
The lap dance from Stella was 11 out of 10.
I think he deserved it. And I think he enjoyed it.
Kiss a bomb.
That means kiss everyone in the villa.
That was a long kiss!
My man, Ben, he was getting it thick.
So much attention and honestly, I really liked it.
He's loving it. It's what it is, everyone. It's what it is.
Now to the show's best-looking bird.
Love you, Pinky.
Back to the saga of Claudia and Austen,
whose clothes, hair, and swagger make him look like
he could kick your arse... in jazz ballet.
So what was your plan tonight? To not talk to me the whole night?
No. How are you feeling after our chat?
(CLEARS THROAT)
I'm confused.
Sad.
What's your biggest concern?
My biggest concern is that you're not going to trust me.
That's the thing.
You haven't done anything for me not to trust you.
That's got nothing to do with you. And I don't not trust you.
So I don't understand what the issue is.
You are the most trustworthy in this villa.
I'm pretty sure you know that.
I just sometimes think maybe it's too good to be true for myself.
Because whenever I have felt like that, some shit has happened.
But then I also feel that's unfair on me.
It is unfair on you. Of course, it is.
Hmm.
I think what has happened today and tonight
was not fair on Austen whatsoever.
I don't know. I acted like this was all my problem.
And I was dealing with it, but I didn't realise
that he was dealing with it as well.
And he was taking it on as well.
I think 'cause you have never been cheated on.
It makes you very innocent and you don't understand
what happens after that's happened to you, because it's...
I do.
Not personally.
But you've seen it. I've seen a lot.
Yeah. And I've seen what it can do to people.
Yeah. So you understand.
I understand it. OK. It's fucked.
I know it is. Yeah.
And it changes that person. I know.
OK.
Austen has given me absolutely no reason not to trust him.
It was my issues that were projecting.
So I can absolutely trust him.
And I just need to just do it.
Well, I'm telling you that I do trust you, and I will try.
I'm not even going to worry about what's happening
in the future because there's no point.
She knew that she was in the wrong.
And I appreciate the fact that she did recognise that.
This is how a relationship works, you know?
It is what communication is.
I'm sorry for being a bitch.
I don't know what else I'm sorry for.
I'm just sorry.
Now look at me in the eyes and say it.
I'm sorry. For?
Don't. Don't. For?
For causing a fight when there was no fight.
I do think that me and Claudia can put this behind us.
She is genuinely willing to try, and that's all I want.
I just want to, you know, someone that's willing to try for me
and put in the effort for me as well.
I'm still thinking about Layla.
I want to give Vakoo the time of day
because I do think she's a nice woman and stuff.
Why?
Like, I didn't realise how much Layla meant to me until she left.
Stella is still my number-one choice.
I feel like she is the most genuine person
in the villa and I'm hopeful it will work out with us.
(SOFT MUSIC)
What did you do to him, Stella?
I've lost Ben.
Ah, far out.
I'll just put a couple of these on there.
I was going to say, there was a guy at the front door.
Did you order brekkie? Oh, I wish.
Yeah. Oh, no. Like, seriously.
It's upstairs if you want to go take a look.
Oh my god! He made you breakfast.
You wanna come with, it's going to go cold.
Oh, my God. Stella!
He made you breakfast.
MADDY: Aww. He made you breakfast. I'm sick of this.
Oh, shit.
Aww. Take your pick of your favourite.
I did this smoothie.
Just like the Ben signature one.
He made me a smoothie. Such a nice gesture.
That's so great. But, like, I don't really eat dairy.
OK.
And then coffee, just like, I dunno how to do the coffee machine.
But I made you an instant one.
He made me a coffee. Such a nice gesture.
Making someone coffee is such a nice gesture.
But I don't drink coffee.
Then this is just like our bond, just inseparable.
So. Inseparable. Come sit down.
Thank you.
Mind if I have a cookie and just sit?
Yeah. Have a cookie and sit.
Thanks. Oh, that's so nice.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Like, he definitely treats me how I've been saying
I want to be treated,
but I don't really feel so much of a connection there with him.
I love cookies for breakfast. Yeah.
I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is.
And I'm...I feel bad.
You feel bad? Wait till the dairy hits.
Ben's milkshake brings all his girls to the bog,
and they're like, "Please, God, make it stop."
A lot is happening in the tipi
and it's hard to know what's more shocking.
The fact Callum's wearing his heart on his sleeve
or Al's wearing those glasses on his face.
Just wanted to see how everything's going with you and Vak.
You slept the night with her. Yeah, I didn't...
You speak to her last night and that? Yeah.
I spoke to her last night and I was like,
you can't expect me to be, like,
touchy-feely because, like, just too soon, like, it's a bit weird.
And if feels a bit forced. (PHONE CHIMES)
I got a text!
No way.
What is it?
Al and Jess... Yes!
(READS)
(CHEERING) No way!
Yes!
First date! Let's go on a date!
Yes!
I'm going on a date with Al.
Finally.
Where's the lucky girl?
Wow.
You're hot but you don't look as good as me.
You're punchy, you're so punchy.
Spain's not going to know what hit them
when they see these two weapons out.
Are you gonna tell me I look good?
Have fun. Use protection.
Of course, you look good. Aww, thank you.
Not as good as me though. Obviously, I'm better.
Bye! Bye.
It's the first official reality TV date for Jess and Al.
Well, not Al. His first one was his wedding.
With matching bleached white shirts and teeth,
they'll enjoy a seaside table for two
if they can traverse 200 metres of rocky terrain.
This is so cute!
There you go.
Here we are. This is so nice.
That's beautiful, isn't it? Look at this.
Mad.
Alright. Just want to get a firm grip.
Yeah. And then you want to twist.
Good twist action. Wait. Twist this?
Hold the girth and twist.
Ready? Yeah. Go.
Oh, there we go! Oh, my God.
That was so scary.
Cheers.
I haven't asked you in a few days,
like, how are you feeling?
Like, where's your head at still?
How are you feeling towards me?
So I honestly, I feel like I'm at that point where I'm,
like, smitten with you. We have so much in common.
We are on the same playing field.
We have the same banter.
And like, I just love the roasting, you know what I mean?
Like with me, the more I roast you, the more I like you.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know what I mean? Yes.
Before coming in here,
that's the number one thing I really wanted in a girl.
Really?
A girl who can roast me and a girl I can roast back.
And I found it.
But I just feel so natural.
Just walking past, holding your hand,
just giving you kisses when we walk past.
And I'm not like that at all.
You know, I've never really been like that on the outside,
but it just comes naturally.
I just feel like I want to do that.
Really? Yeah. And I look back on myself.
I'm like, "Wow, I've never been like that with any other girl."
So you're definitely...
Special?
Yeah. You're special.
You definitely are.
Cute. I want you to know that's how I'm feeling.
And I really do...potentially see us working on the outside as well.
I honestly see you fitting into my life outside the villa.
You see us working outside the villa?
I honestly feel like we could work outside the villa.
I really hope to walk out of the villa with you.
Aww, same.
Come here.
That was so cute.
Cheers to that.
And the best connection I've ever had with anyone.
Aww. Al, that's so cute.
Back at the villa, Stella is doing something
and Callum wants to know what it is.
What are you doing, Stella?
I'm setting something up for the girls.
A debrief.
Even better.
Better than the debrief?
Better than the debrief. Why ain't the boys invited?
No boys invited.
Sexist.
Today I decided to have a female empowerment circle
with all the girls.
Should we take our shoes off?
So that all the girls could bond together, not be talking about boys.
Hopefully, you guys don't think what I'm about to do is really weird.
I love this shit.
The weirder the better for me personally.
It's going to be really uplifting.
Nothing sad. Unless you want to make it sad.
I'm so excited for this journey.
OK. Everyone's got their water bottles
and their lip balms and things like that.
So I've gathered you all here right now
because I feel like we need something
that's going to empower us and make us feel like beautiful as women.
FOMO - fear of missing out - that's what I had.
We just need to actually feel, like,
empowered and like, show ourselves love and stop,
like, thinking about all those, like, negatives in our lives.
You know what I mean?
Stella is born for things like this,
and I'm really glad that Stella thought of that.
I feel like that just sums Stella up as a person. She's so wholesome.
She's so genuine.
So who is a woman in your life has helped or inspired you?
I would say like, my mum. Like she's someone that inspires me every day.
Because she's fucking killing it.
OK.
But the one that I wanted to bring up was actually a celebrity.
Rihanna. We all know Rihanna's got bad bitch energy,
and I look up to her every day as inspiration.
I think coming into the villa...
The women that, you know, inspire me the most are you guys.
Oh, my God!
I'm serious.
Like, I'm not even just saying that, like, I don't know.
I really admire you guys. Oh, my God.
This is what it's meant to be - bonding.
You will be the crier, not me!
This place, what the fuck.
That's really sweet.
Like, you guys have taught me to be so confident about myself.
Like, I just watch you guys. (DRIFTS OFF)
Why the girls gotta do an empowerment thing?
I want to be involved. End of the day, I got pink shorts on.
I'm ready to go. I'm halfway there.
Especially when I'm older. Oh, my God!
What the fuck.
I feel like once you cry together, there's no going back.
That bonds you for life.
We love you.
So sweet.
Thank you.
Yeah. I want to feel empowered.
But not only that, I want to be mingling with the birds.
And that's an easy way to mingle with the birds.
I get invited to a birds' retreat thing.
Do you know what I mean?
Thank you so much for doing this.
No worries. I feel like really connected with you guys.
That was nice.
I love you guys.
Group hug. Girl power.
(PHONE CHIMES)
I got a text. Got a text on a date?
What is it?
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!
It gets worse. It's not done. I'm not done.
I hate decisions like this.
Which couple is the least likely to fall in love?
Make your decision wisely.
You may not tell the other islanders.
If you do, it will be you who is dumped tonight.
#DateWithDestiny. #EnjoyTheView.
Al, I feel sick.
I don't want to be on this date anymore. I want to leave.
Wow. This date has taken a turn for the worst.
OK.
So let's talk about all the couples, right.
So you got Phoebe and Mitch,
which I think they're going to work on the outside.
Phoebe and Mitch have been strong. Strong.
Yeah. I think they deserve to stay.
Agreed.
Claudia and Austen, another very strong couple,
probably the strongest couple we have in the villa.
Agreed.
They definitely deserve to stay. Yeah.
We have the...the fresh new couple, Phoebe H and Jordan.
I think they're both doing well.
I don't think they're an option.
So I think that leaves us with Callum and Vakoo, Maddy and Tak.
Maddy and Tak. Ben and Stella.
Just speak to everyone today.
Yeah. To know how the dynamics are going because things
could have changed since we left as well.
Yeah. And just see who's talking to who, who's really flourishing.
But we'll have to meet up again somewhere quiet and talk
about it again before we make our final decision.
Yeah. Because this is huge.
This is massive.
But in saying that, thank you for coming on a date with me.
I know this isn't probably what we expected,
but next time we go on a date, it won't be as grim as this.
Hopefully not. Alright.
Come here.
Alright.
Got some thinking to do. Let's go.
Coming up.
All the other islanders,
they have no clue on what the heck is going on.
Al and Jess seals someone's fate.
Tonight, one islander will be dumped from the villa.
Before a text...
(PHONE CHIMES) What? No way.
..leaves the villa reeling.
As the Spanish sun beats down,
Jordan kindly helps Phoebe H to be sun safe, so selfless.
Meanwhile, Jess and Al return to commence their top secret
mission that will determine who will be dumped tonight.
Act casual, guys.
Oh, we're back! We're back?
Hello! Hello!
Jess and I walk into the villa, seen everybody's smiley faces.
But obviously, there was a big cloud hovering over our heads.
Hey, cutie.
We went on a cliff on the water and the table was all white.
Yeah.
It looked like we were getting married.
Wow.
I was like, I honestly could not even look
at the girls that were in the firing line.
Our villa Sherlocks must identify the couple
least likely to fall in love, using seductive reasoning.
When I look over the villa, see everyone in their
natural habitat talking amongst each other.
And yeah, there's a few couples that caught our mind.
Initial observations suggest Mitch and Phoebe,
Jordan and Phoebe H and Austen and Claudia are safely boo'd-up,
leaving Tak and Maddy, Ben and Stella,
and Callum and Vakoo in the firing line.
Time to dig deeper.
I feel like the biggest bitch, because...
Stella, we're a vault. We won't tell anyone anything.
OK.
Ben kind of does everything I could possibly want.
Like as in like, he's like, very like, forward and being, like,
"Oh, you know, like, I want you. I think you're pretty."
All those sorts of things.
But like there's just something there that like
I'm just not connecting with him on.
Yeah.
So after speaking with Stella, we found out that
she wasn't really that keen on Ben.
So they are pretty much dead in the water.
Yeah. Another couple that we're weighing up is Tak and Maddy.
Like what do you want? Do you want to be with Tak or Ben?
I'd rather, I'd way rather be with Tak than Ben.
Do you think a spark will grow?
No, I don't think so.
But, yeah, I don't want to be selfish and just choose Tak
because I get along with him better.
I get that.
We'll continue the observations and we
won't make a decision until to the end.
Meanwhile, Vakoo has no idea about the secret mission,
so very confusingly launches a secret mission of her own.
I trust you. I'm giving you... Wait, tell me my mission.
..you felt left out.
So that means even if you have to go to the bedroom
with Austen and Callum and keep them there.
I've come up with a really good idea to make Callum happy
today and distract him and make him really goofy again.
I'm going to have a food challenge where I'm going to blindfold him,
put different types of food in his mouth,
and he has to guess what they are.
Yoghurt? I was going to do yoghurt, yeah.
How is it going to eat it though?
I'm going to scoop it with my finger and make him lick it.
Vak is upstairs making all the dishes, getting her outfit ready.
Everything's in motion to distract Callum.
Austen and I, we're going to pretend to have a fight.
Why are you talking shit?
I haven't say anything.
Mitch literally just told me that you're talking shit.
I said we were talking about the situation. Claudia, I have...
So explain it to me then.
I have no idea what you're mad about.
You literally said to me that you would fuck Maddy
if you were out of here in the fucking real world.
Austen, I'm being legit right now.
If you're fucking serious about that, go with her.
I do not give one fuck.
Go fuck her.
The Oscar goes to Claudia.
Thank you very much.
What the fuck. Bro, girls are fucked.
I'm sitting there all confused.
I don't know what the heck is going on.
And Claudia was not happy at all.
I was just so relieved.
I was like, oh, my goodness, I have hope in humanity.
Claudia and Austen were actually just faking it the whole time.
Hi... You're so red.
Am I getting griddled or what?
No. No.
(CROSSTALK) distract you.
I had no idea that was going down.
Like, not a clue.
Not a Scooby Doo.
I just tried to arrange something for you
because I know you're super sad.
I'm not sad. I'm not.
Closed off, and you're sad.
And I feel like your energy has been like a bit down.
So it's to distract you and just do something nice for you.
Oh, that's nice. To bring your energy back up.
Yeah. OK. So I came up with this game.
OK. So there's like a selection of random things.
OK.
You have to close your eyes, but I'm going to feed it to you.
You have to guess what it is.
(INDISTINCT)
I'm going to start easy.
Ready? Yeah. The first thing is...
Don't make me laugh. Open your mouth.
I can smell it. Can you? Smell it.
Bite it.
What do you think that is?
Easy. Open your eyes.
You can open your eyes.
OK. Strawberry.
Yes!
So I think we need to, like take that into consideration because...
But this is on my finger, so you have to lick it off.
OK. Ready?
Oh, what was that?
It's mayonnaise!
Fuck.
I thought it's like margarine or something.
There's Callum and Vakoo.
There is obviously Ben, the new guy, and Stella.
Then there is Tak and Maddy.
So those three couples are in the firing line tonight,
and it's going to be down to the wire here.
We really don't know who we're going to choose.
And it's hard making these decisions, you know.
Yeah. You know, their journey is in our hands.
And I just don't like being in this position.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Let's go!
OK, guys, I wanted to make a quick toast.
I just wanted to thank you guys for welcoming us
all bombs, and welcoming us into the family.
I wanted to do a quick toast to Al and Jess.
I'm so happy with your date today.
And I hope the next chapter of your lives
is just as amazing as you both are.
And a quick toast to Callum.
You did so well in the tasting challenge,
and you proved that you're really good at tasting.
And I can't wait to see what else you're good at.
(CROSSTALK, CHEERS)
(PHONE CHIMES)
Got a text!
All islanders to the firepit immediately.
On their beach date, Jess and Al were tasked with deciding
which islanders should be put on the chopping block.
The text completely ruined the day, but that's over,
and now it can start to ruin the night.
This decision has been weighing on us all day.
Walking down to the firepit and just have that sinking feeling,
because we know what's about to happen.
But no one else does.
Jessica and Al, please stand and face your fellow islanders.
(PHONE CHIMES)
Jessica, on your date with Al today, you received a text.
Please read that text out loud to your fellow islanders now.
Al and Jessica, 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.
Which couple is the least likely to fall in love?
Make your decision wisely.
Al, which couple are least likely to fall in love and why?
It's never easy making these sort of decisions.
But we decided to go with process of elimination.
We ruled out Phoebe and Mitch because they seem like
they're going pretty strong and comfortable with them.
Thanks, guys.
As well as Austen and Claudia, ruled out you guys as well.
Jordan and Phoebe H, you guys are fresh, but going strong.
It's good to see.
So we ruled you guys out as well.
Which left us with three couples.
Jess and I did some observing today.
And we saw Vakoo and Callum, and they were having,
you know, a jolly good time on a cute date.
And they seemed like they were bonding really well.
So we ended up ruling you guys out as well.
Thank you, guys.
Which leaves us with two couples.
Um, really hard for us...
It's like I really struggled as well 'cause I feel like
I've developed a strong friendship with all of you.
Maddy and Tak, you guys have been coupled up
for a while, and you guys are friends.
We know this is not friend island, this is Love Island.
Stella and Ben, you guys have only been coupled up for a day now.
We did notice today you both didn't spend a lot of time together.
So we are not sure if you guys are,
I guess, willing to develop your connection.
It wasn't an easy decision, but Jess and I had to make one.
The couple that is least likely to fall in love is...
..Ben and Stella.
(PHONE CHIMES)
Jessica and Al, take a seat.
Stella and Ben, please stand and face your fellow islanders.
# I see storm clouds gathering out to sea
# I hear thunder striking all around me
# Rise above it all
# Because I know that
# Ooh, the day will come
# Ooh, when all of this pain... #
Stella and Ben, one of you will be dumped from the villa tonight.
# Burns in flames
# And only ashes remain. #
(PHONE CHIMES)
Who stays and who goes will not be decided by the islanders.
The decision is in your hands.
One of you must go.
Who it is is up to you.
Please go and discuss.
You must return with an answer.
What.
No.
No way.
What?
Fuck. How the fuck are they gonna decide?
Stella is going to be too nice.
Stella is going to go home. She'll say she's gonna go home.
She will. She's going to do it. She's going to go.
Like she's already had a chance.
100% she will say that.
You are very compassionate and lovely.
And like, honestly like, you know,
you haven't been here for long but I have made like
so many amazing connections in here.
Stella is not going to let him.
No, don't say that.
Stella is going to be way too nice.
I reckon, too.
Ready to go?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Having made the agonising decision themselves,
Stella and Ben are ready to announce which one of them
will now be dumped from the island.
So we've had a bit of time to discuss
who will be staying and who will be leaving.
So obviously, it's not an easy decision to be...
It's not an easy decision,
but it was based off, like, a few different things.
Like, I have had a few connections in here.
(EXHALES)
Sorry.
So we've made the decision and...
..Ben will be leaving the villa.
Ben, honestly, was just such a hero and I really couldn't have...
I really can't be any more grateful for someone like him.
I feel like, honestly, honestly, really grateful for you.
You're welcome.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Ben, you have been dumped from the villa.
You have 30 minutes to pack your bags and say your goodbyes.
I have enjoyed every single second in here,
and I won't forget any one of you either.
It has been a blessing in my life,
and I hope the best for all of your futures.
(VOICE BREAKING) I really do.
Imagine me as a ghost sitting next to you
to guide you every step of the way.
(SLOW MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT)
Ben, he's an one-in-a-million bloke.
Like, honestly, for him to take that upon himself
and make the decision that, you know,
he's the one that should leave and Stella
should stay is just a beautiful soul.
And I think everybody needs a little bit of Ben in them.
Boys, let's get up there.
Really sorry, mate.
Thanks, man. I don't regret my decision.
I feel privileged to have been given
the opportunity to meet such great people.
Whoever is going to pursue Stella next,
give her the love she deserves.
You're a gentleman, Ben.
I wish I had more time to pursue Maddy or Stella.
I'm so fucked up.
Like, I just feel like I'm like, who am I to,
like, decide who stays and who goes like.
But he was so nice.
He's actually just very noble.
Like, he goes,
I was like, "What are you thinking?"
And he just goes, "I'll go home."
Aw.
Like, I'm honestly, like, speechless.
Like, I have no words to say that can, like fathom,
like how, like, brave that is.
I feel so bad, but I was like...
And it's also not your fault that you didn't feel
a certain type of way towards him.
Like, you can't force anything that's not there.
Honestly, I think the ghost of Ben will forever stay by me
because I can't fail him now that he has saved me too many times.
I'm so forever grateful for him.
You did a good job, bro. You came in.
Did what you had to do.
Left my mark, hopefully.
(CHEERS)
Big, bad, Ben.
Good luck. Bye.
Good luck, Ben.
Cinderella.
Thank you very much.
I always believe that things are meant for a reason.
I didn't find love in the villa, but I know one day I will
find the true love of my life outside in the real world.
I honestly wish Stella the best in her journey to find love.
I truly believe that there's just a little bit extra room
for her to discover the love of her life.
And I wish nothing but the best for her.
Next time.
Dumping season isn't over just yet.
Well, it's been a wild ride so far.
And I can promise you, it's going to get wilder.
Is that possible?
Tonight is a recoupling.
Boys will pick girls and whichever girl is left single
will be dumped from the island.
