["Bones" by Imagine Dragons playing]
* I'm in the bathroom looking at me *
NARRATOR: Previously on Love Island Games...
I understand you're mad at me, okay?
NARRATOR: After a night of couples' therapy...
This is a little bump in the road.
MEGAN: I kind of wish you kissed me.
- I'm not gonna kiss you. - Why not?
[echoing] It's just a kiss.
* Our patience is waning *
* Is this entertaining? *
NARRATOR: ...Maura Higgins put them to the test.
MAURA: We're gonna play a little game called
Knowing Me Knowing You.
NARRATOR: While some succeeded...
Jess is bubbly.
- Yes, I put bubbly. - Oh, my God!
- Yo! - Fuck yes!
I said "tits."
- NARRATOR: Others failed. - I put Megan.
Megan pulled me for a chat last night
and basically said she wanted to kiss me.
Wait, what?
* Drown out the voices in the air *
* Leaving the ones that never cared *
Just having a little flirt.
* ...pieces up and building to the sky *
MAURA: Toby, did you think Cely
was faking her relationship with you?
Kind of, yeah.
* I-I-I got this feeling *
I'm just so overwhelmed.
* 'Cause there's magic in my bones *
[dramatic music playing]
NARRATOR: Tonight...
tensions rise.
Who's the strongest couple in here?
MAURA: Islanders,
it's now time to find out the results.
NARRATOR: And The Duel returns.
The couple that loses today's Duel
will be leaving the Villa immediately.
[theme music playing]
["Deep Open Eyes" by The Home Of Happy playing]
NARRATOR: Welcome to Love Island Games.
The points won in the Knowing Me Knowing You challenge
have been converted into plastic coins
the Islanders can use to choose the couples
they want to make vulnerable.
Someone's gonna be very unhappy.
Me. Turns out I'm being paid for this gig
in those bloody plastic coins.
Anyway, the more points a couple won,
the more coins they'll have,
which they can use to vote against the couples
they want to make vulnerable.
We need to think about ourselves, innit?
'Cause it's the bottom two that are vulnerable.
I feel like we have a big impact if we put all of our coins
- into-- into one. - One, yeah, I agree.
Like, the ones that keep getting Power Couple.
- Y-- yeah. - All right.
I'm gonna put my first stack
in Lib and Callum,
and I'll just go ahead and put another couple stacks in there.
I want to make sure that they're in the bottom.
I think a lot of-- a lot of people are gonna go for Kyra and Megan as well.
- After today, yeah. - 100% yeah.
NARRATOR: In the challenge, Kyra heard
that Megan asked Eyal for a kiss,
and right now, Kyra's not happy,
partly 'cause of what Megan did,
and partly 'cause she thought those were chocolate coins,
and she's chipped her tooth on one.
I pulled him for a chat about the whole pieing situation,
and then I was just being flirty.
I was like...
To be honest, I was-- "I saw other girls kiss you.
I wish I didn't pie you. I wish kissed you instead."
And I did feel some kind of way I didn't expect to feel, so--
Did you try to kiss him in that or you were just saying,
"I wanted to kiss you," or you tried to kiss him?
I didn't, like, lunge in and try to kiss him.
But you did try to kiss him.
Yeah, I just said, "I wish I kissed you instead,"
obviously leaving the conversation open for him to be, like--
make a move or do something.
I didn't, like, lunge and make a move on him.
Well, from-- I know you didn't lunge,
but there were so many moments for you to say something
and just be open and communicate.
- I think it's wrong in general to just not say anything... - So every time--
...and then for it to come out in a game...
That was hurtful for it to come out in front of everyone
when I've been so honest with you that I've been open.
I guess I just wish that you said something,
whether you were-- whatever or not, to communicate with me,
'cause someone came in here and I wanted to pursue them,
especially an ex.
You don't see how that's kind of shady and weird
to not even mention anything when we're laying in bed
and not mention anything at all,
and it comes out in a game like that?
And the type of person that I want to, like, date
is someone that communicates stuff.
["Love in the Cut" by Nineoneone playing]
* Love in the cut *
You can't in one breath say, "Yeah, you can be open,"
and then as soon as I do something,
it's not on her terms and she freaks out.
Love Island is supposed to be fun, flirty.
When else do you get this experience
to be in a beautiful villa with beautiful people?
It's so rare, so of course
I'm gonna grab that opportunity with both hands.
I can't be fake.
I guess let's put our votes in with these coins.
So what are you thinking?
I feel like I'm not in a position to be like,
"These people deserve to go home."
So if it was me, I would just do them evenly
into each one, obviously, except ours.
So I definitely would put majority of the coins in Liberty and Callum.
- Mm. - Just 'cause
I don't really have any loyalties to them whatsoever.
- Um... - But obviously they're my,
like, closest friends.
- Liberty and Callum? - Mm.
These two have won the last two challenges here.
For me, I have loyalties with Ray.
- Mm-hmm. - And we owe Johnny.
You're not gonna be able to convince me.
I-- honestly, I understand and I get
that they're your peoples.
But that is a threat. Direct threat.
I knew this moment for Jack and I would come.
He and I have very two separate groups of people
that were aligned with in here.
[Justine sighs]
Voting for your friends is hard.
The level of guilt that I'm feeling right now
is actually insane.
* Is it just me *
* Or is it the game we played? *
I don't think Imani and Ray deserve to go,
'cause they've got a strong connection.
Yeah, but bear in mind, they're good at challenges.
Yeah, true. But Imani is my friend.
It's up to you, are you in it to make friends
or are you in it to win?
Now's the time to think about winning.
I was thinking Toby and Georgia.
Georgia, I know she thinks-- sees me as competition,
but I'm pretty sure they all do.
I know for a fact we are still a threat,
so I see people using this time to...
- Attack us. - ...knock us out.
Who's the strongest couple in here?
I feel like whoever Johnny's with
is gonna be up there
'cause he's been running all of them.
Georgia and Toby.
That makes me fucking sick too,
'cause I was just coupled up with Toby.
[sighs] Fuck, this is so tough.
* Best shot *
* Yeah, I give you my best shot *
NARRATOR: The coins have been counted
and it's time for Maura Higgins,
who, by the way, got paid in actual US dollars
to reveal the results.
Hello, everyone.
[Islanders murmuring]
Islanders, you've all made your decisions
and it's now time to find out the results.
["Game You Play" by Katherine Fussey playing]
* You think you've lost but wait *
* I'm broken inside *
* I've been left behind *
MAURA: The couples that get the least coins given to them...
will be the new Power Couple.
I have here the bag with the fewest coins.
Whoever this bag belongs to
will be the Power Couple.
* And we're aching on *
You've decided the new Power Couple.
So the couple with the fewest coins...
is...
Imani and Ray.
* Game we play *
[all applauding]
Congrats.
Well done, guys.
* And we're waking up *
- Relieved? - Not so much.
Like, you know, with power comes these major decisions,
- so... - Yeah, I'm appreciative
that you guys considered, like, our connection.
It's just this is a fucked-up position to be in.
- [Imani chuckles] - Yeah.
- Yay, but thank you guys.
I will now reveal the rest of the safe couples.
["Addicted To Your Love" by Homegrown playing]
In second place...
with 40 coins...
is...
* Thinking about you baby *
...Justine and Jack.
[all applauding]
In third place with 65 coins...
* Don't let me go *
...Georgia and Toby.
- [all applauding] - MAURA: Well done.
You're safe.
The couple in fourth place with...
71 points is...
* I'm so addicted... *
...Cely and Eyal.
[all applauding]
* Don't make me go *
[emotional music playing]
Kyra and Megan.
Jess and Johnny.
And Liberty and Callum.
Only one more couple is safe.
I can now reveal that the couple in fifth place...
with 83 coins...
is...
Kyra and Megan.
[all applauding]
Congratulations.
Which means that Jessica and Johnny...
and Liberty and Callum...
you're both vulnerable.
***
And I can tell you that Jessica and Johnny...
you received...
206 coins.
- Crazy. - Fuck.
MAURA: And finally, Liberty and Callum...
you received...
332 coins.
So there we have it.
Pretty annoyed, I'm not gonna lie.
I did not expect a result like that.
Um, but I think
the challenge yesterday had a big part to play.
["Bad Blood" by Walgrove playing]
* I got this bad blood *
* Runnin' through my veins *
You went from winning the challenge today
to now being vulnerable.
I don't wanna say, like, people are threatened by us
'cause I don't necessarily feel that.
It's all about connections in here, you know?
And I think that...
it's getting down to the wire and I feel--
I feel like people are looking out for their friends.
Their people in here. And that's all good.
-MAURA: Yeah. -You know, I respect it.
Liberty and Callum, how are you feeling?
Obviously, sucks to be at the bottom in a vulnerable position again.
Obviously, we were vulnerable, like, last time too.
I know it's a hard choice for everyone to make,
and it was a hard choice for us to make this decision as well.
So, yeah.
Well, tomorrow I'll be back...
when The Duel will decide
who stays in the Villa and who goes home.
* I got bad blood *
Oh.
Great.
The stakes have never been higher...
so make sure you all get some rest.
- Bye for now. - JUSTINE: Bye, Maura.
- JESSICA: Bye. - See you tomorrow.
Oh, fuck.
Haven't I been through enough?
Fucking hell, I've already done a duel,
now I've gotta do another one.
But on top of that, the stakes are high
and if I lose, I'm going home.
Like, I don't have the best luck with duels.
I don't know if I like my odds.
It is nerve-racking.
Like, obviously, you don't want to be
the person to go home,
so we've got to give it everything we've got
to stay here and win.
- Fucking hell. - [Islanders laughing]
Damn, yo.
EYAL: Fucking hell.
- That was intense. It's crazy. - Yeah.
You think that's intense, wait till you see the fucking Duel.
* Bad blood *
[theme music playing]
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island Games.
Maura has just told Liberty and Callum and Jess and Johnny
they'll be facing The Duel tomorrow.
Liberty said she was shocked.
Callum said he was stunned,
Johnny said he was upset
and Jess said-- well, um,
words I can't repeat at a family show.
[cellphone chimes]
Oh, fuck. I got a text.
Ah, fuck.
- First Hideaway. - [Islanders applauding]
[indistinct lyrics]
Hope there's chocolate in there. [indistinct].
- [indistinct] - Why you look sweaty?
I'm so excited
'cause, like, we get to go to the Hideaway.
I'm excited for the cute one-on-one time
and the privacy
and just to really talk to him, you know,
and just have that space away from everyone, you know.
Like, that'll be so nice.
["Waiting all Night" by Sonny Rey playing]
She got the Hideaway. She got the Hideaway.
[girls chanting] She got the Hideaway.
Hideaway. Hideaway. Hideaway.
- Hey. - Hey. Hey.
* Have to turn it up now *
* Baby, hurry up now *
Hi.
Thank you.
[Islanders cheering]
RAY: We gonna have a good night.
* Have to turn it up now *
How cute-- [gasps]
Chocolate!
- Yeah, man. It's crazy. - How cute.
-It's like a big furry-- - Castle?
- Yeah. [laughs] - Hideaway.
- We got to get a hug going. - We did it.
- I know. - We did it.
[both cheering]
I'm so proud of us.
["Nights Like These" by Benson Boone playing]
- Hey, you guys okay? - No, I'm fuming.
Absolutely fuming.
I haven't done this all before. Is it pressure?
Put a lot of pressure and these stakes are high up.
So what's going on?
* 'Cause days turn into nights like these *
Like, I genuinely fucking like Toby
and it's, like, to be called, like, I'm fucking faking it,
like, it's, like, so fucking upsetting.
[Cely sobs]
[Cely crying]
* Without you here to catch me *
* And if you're not around *
* I gotta learn to face the dark *
* 'Cause days turn into nights like these *
* Nights like these * * Nights like these *
* 'Cause days turn into nights like these *
* When my willpower's weak *
* I'm gonna call so just let it ring *
* I'll drive these streets *
* Don't come looking for me *
* Nights like these *
IMANI: I got chocolate. I don't give a damn.
- We're good. - Oh, man, this is crazy.
I didn't expect the Hideaway today.
- Not the Hideaway. I just knew-- - [cellphone chimes]
- Oh, it's a text. - I got a text.
- Wow. Okay. - Okay. Here we go.
Ooh. This is crazy. I can't even speak.
No fucking way coming as power free just a Hideaway night.
I knew something was coming.
- It was too good. - Ah, okay.
Let's talk about it.
Damn, we gotta make the decision right now?
We just got to the Hideaway.
So the smartest thing, I feel like,
is to put Johnny up against one of our strongest competitors
'cause he is one of your strongest competitors.
Fuck. Have you really--
What's your reason for not putting Johnny up?
'Cause I feel like he really has our back.
The smartest thing to do is to help our game right now.
- Yeah. - And not to be scared.
Now is the time to make moves.
I just feel like when it came to the games,
like, Johnny always had my back, you know what I'm saying?
He's the one guy I could trust here.
- Like, the one guy. - Yeah.
But did Toby have your back?
I-- I would rather take out Johnny and Jess,
then throw in Toby and Georgia.
So we're gonna put Callum and Liberty
- up against Georgia and Toby? - Toby.
- Yeah. - Come here. Hug me.
IMANI: I love you.
All right, let me send that text.
Oh, shit. It's gonna be some shit.
Nah, it is gonna be some shit, but we're gonna be straight.
Damn, this is tough.
I built bonds with these people.
But, like, in a sense, you know,
I was just focused on what needs to be done.
With power comes, you know, discomfort.
[sighs] Been a long day, right?
Yeah. Gimme a kiss. First Hideaway kiss.
NARRATOR: Last night in the Hideaway,
Ray made a decision that left him
feeling very uncomfortable.
But those nipple clamps were his idea,
and I did warn him that they pinch.
["Taste Your Tears" by Coco Morier playing]
RAY: What a day we have ahead of us.
- IMANI: What a day. - We got to chill a little bit before the madness.
- We make a good team. - Yeah, we do.
Me and Ray, we're the only ones
who know that we're gonna put Georgia and Toby
up in a vulnerable position
and we're gonna keep that between us.
* With madness *
* You'll get burned *
* Hearts on fire *
* If you're taking *
* Your chances *
- Hello. Everyone, get up. - Good morning.
- RAY: I'm doing the Safety Dance. - IMANI: Good morning, guys.
[Ray cheering]
It was so good.
- RAY: How you doing? - IMANI: Hi, gorgeous.
- KYRA: How was it? - IMANI: It was so nice.
Girl, it was so beautiful. It was cute.
Was it weird sleeping without...
- No. We didn't even notice you guys were gone. - [Imani laughs]
- That's fucked up, Toby. - I believe you.
- [Toby laughs] - Toby, you're my favorite ever.
* I'm gonna taste your tears *
Ready for The Duel, mate?
No. Don't say that. You win The-- win The Duel.
Real well.
I'll go make you some. You want coffee?
- Hey, where's this press? - Good morning, bro.
- Good? - Yeah.
* I'm gonna taste your tears *
Cool D we be.
- EYAL: Are you here? - CELY: Mm-hmm.
Here's your coffee.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
See you, guys.
If you need anything, you know where I am.
The best to ever do it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - [laughs] He's so cute.
RAY: I think it's gonna be a crazy one.
I think the stakes are high
and the-- the highest stake is going home.
- EYAL: But you two are pretty evenly matched. - RAY: Hmm.
No matter what challenge or duel has come our way in this Villa,
it's always been completely different to what I've expected.
So this Duel could be fucking taking place
in Mars for all I know.
So, I'm just thinking I can't prep for it
'cause I don't know what's coming, you know what I mean?
I just gotta ride the wave, wait till it comes,
and then just give it my best shot.
- Two big guys. - Yeah.
- Taking blows. - Brawl.
What is that? There's bacon?
Yeah. Bacon and sour cream, bro.
Oh, it's a new one.
Yeah, I'm trying a new one out.
- You wanna try it, bro? - Nah, it's cool, bro.
I was trying to avoid talking to Toby too much this morning,
but it was-- it just felt, like, wicked,
just knowing I got a secret.
He not even preparing for the fight.
Like, I'm like, "Damn, my boy is about to be down bad."
You know, he about to have a stomach ache
when he get in the ring, like, sadness.
[theme music playing]
So...
since day one with our challenges, we prep up.
- Yeah? - Yeah. Do you wanna do me vs. you?
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah. - Let's do me vs. you, then. Come on then, let's go.
If you can beat me, there's no way you're not beating Jess.
[Liberty laughs]
Yeah, this is my first ever Duel.
I'm confident that we're gonna win.
And I'm confident that we're gonna do this as a team.
Like, we're Day 1 couple.
I feel like we've got this in the bag,
and we're ready for anything.
- I'll choose this one. - All right. Let's go.
You got two Jesses in there now too.
Bosh! Two bombshells stealing me.
What are you saying? Come on, more. Lower.
Get right down. Ass to grass, babe. Ass to grass.
- Do you wanna come with me? - Yeah, okay.
CALLUM: Fuck it, Johnny Bravo.
Come on, give me more, give me more, come on.
I got three Johnnys in the ring.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's just-- [groans]
It's so-- it's so irritating being in this spot.
Yeah, I'm irritated. I'm annoyed.
Like, to win the game yesterday,
over all these super strong couples, you know.
It's never gonna be comfortable in here, you know?
No.
I feel like we'll do really well,
'cause clearly, our communication is--
Way better.
Yeah, we gotta stay locked in with each other.
That's what I've been doing from the very beginning.
You do not have to tell me that. You need to tell yourself that.
- That's advice to yourself. - Sure.
I looked at myself in the mirror,
and I said exactly that this morning.
Good.
'Cause at the end of the day, like,
connection's one thing, but like, you know, fuck,
the money at the end of this is massive.
- Yeah. - You gotta think
- of the games as well. - No, 100%.
I'm not 100% confident, I'm not gonna lie.
I pretend like I'm confident
to put myself into that winning mindset,
but I'm not so sure.
You can't prepare for these duels.
You gotta stay positive,
manifest to win, and you gotta hope for the best.
That's the only preparation you can have.
The stakes have never been higher.
That could mean anything. That's what gets me.
The stakes have never been higher.
["Take Me Now" by MUSZETTE playing]
* So take me now *
[theme music playing]
["Living It Up" by PSM playing]
* I just want to live it up *
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island Games.
After hearing the shocking news about Megan,
up in the makeup room,
Kyra's putting a brave face on it.
That's brave face,
the makeup technique everyone's talking about.
It's the new contouring.
I'm sorry, but Megan trying
to kiss my man is great. [laughing]
And just to not say anything to me.
CELY: Do not say anything, yeah.
It was finding out in a game in front of everyone,
and I felt fucking dumb.
That was me after the Toby shit too.
And they were like-- I was like, [laughs] "Here's my heart."
Like, bro, that is crazy. That's my thing, too, though.
It's like-- for, like-- Toby mentioned something,
like, "Cely was just, like, faking it,"
and he said to me about, like, faking it with everyone.
And that for me, is, like,
if you feel a way about me, talk to me.
Like, why are you going around telling people--
Like, I have said nothing but kind things about you.
And it's just, like, so frustrating
that you would spend a week with me and come to that conclusion.
Like, I don't-- I don't know, dude.
I'm just-- I'm just sad and disappointed
in the way it went, you know?
- Yeah, yeah. - You know?
'Cause I've been nothing but respectful
about what he's doing in here with Georgia.
And like-- you know?
I would never say that about him.
I still won't say that about him.
It's just shitty now, because it's like
every chat that we've had since our coupling
has been to, like, clear the air
about things that have happened in challenges.
And I just feel like I'm just kind of taking, like, little jabs left and right.
And I'm like, "Why are we not speaking?
Why are we not communicating with each other?
Like, why are you having chats
about my character with other people,
when you can just come straight to me,
straight to the source,
and I'll tell you exactly how I feel."
I just feel like-- I don't know, just, like,
really disappointed and just, like, disrespected, honestly.
And it just fucking sucks.
I still think he's a genuine guy,
'cause I didn't just spend the last week with this person,
and think that he's, like, fake, you know?
So, I'm like, "Where is this coming from?"
So, I just definitely want to just have a chat with him,
and just, like, clear the air,
and see why he would say that about me.
- Yeah. - It's just not fair.
[theme music playing]
NARRATOR: Toby and Georgia think they've escaped...
[echoing] ...The Duel.
But they've actually been chosen to face it.
That calls for a fiendish laugh.
[evil laughter]
At least stick some echo on.
You always do it when I say... [echoing] "...The Duel."
See?
- GEORGIA: How do you feel? - TOBY: I'm gassed.
Didn't see me and you coming third, but I like it.
- [Toby laughing] - I'm here for it.
I didn't see it either. I was thinking third--
Did you see my face? I turned around, I was like, "Third? Did I hear that right?"
I was thinking third-- I was looking around,
I was thinking, "There's some strong couples that have,
like, been here for-- for weeks and weeks."
And I was like, "Okay, but we've had it done,
- yeah, okay, okay." - I know.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'm so glad I made the decision to couple up with you.
- Yeah. Yeah, actually. - Yeah, I'm just saying.
TOBY: Aw.
See, you wouldn't have gotten third with anyone else.
I'm so relieved I don't have to partake in The Duel.
I'm really glad that it was mine and Toby's first challenge, and we came out safe.
- No way. - No, one thing I did want
to speak to you about, like, this morning, I overheard Cely.
She was basically saying, "I'm really upset why Toby would think I'm fake."
And then I thought "Oh, that's because I said it in the thing."
Which I feel a bit bad about now.
- No, no. - But I stand by you.
We spoke about it. I can read signs,
and the signs she gives me is, like,
"I don't really care about you."
Yeah.
To be fair, like, it's the best situation,
because she's got Eyal, and I've got you.
Yeah, so prepare yourself for that.
No, 'cause obviously, like,
I was coupled up with her for a week,
and, like, that makes her feel, like, quite bad.
So, I'm definitely gonna have to pull her, and chat to her.
Georgia makes me feel wanted.
She replicates my energy,
and I'm feeling it with Georgia.
At this point, I don't know if the connection
was genuine on Cely's side or not.
- Cely, do you wanna go for chat? - Yeah.
Only Cely knows and that's the worst thing about it,
because I will always doubt myself about that.
- Let's chat. - Let's chat. Let's talk.
I don't even know what I want to say, I'm gonna try not to cry.
I'm just, like, really overwhelmed, like, with how everything has gone.
And, like, I'm just, like, really disappointed.
Wait, before we start, come on.
Before we start, come on.
I'm just, like, really, really disappointed.
- Yeah? - I think just, like, with the way that everything,
like, went between us, and then, like, hearing you say that,
like, you're having conversations about me, like, faking shit.
Like, I just would have never thought
that, like, you would say something like that about me,
and I just feel really fucking disrespected and let down, like--
[somber instrumental playing]
We both got to know each other for, like, a whole week
and then, like, to have, like, radio silence after that.
I was like looking for, like, why.
The reasons why, really truly.
How we got to this point where you've gone
from, like, a week-old couple, to, like, strangers.
It baffled me. How is that even possible?
That's my frustration though, Toby,
because I even told you when we were down
in the fucking bedroom together,
and I was chatting with you about it.
And then, literally, the second Georgia walks in,
and you just stop fucking talking to me.
As a woman, I want to be pursued by the man that I'm into,
and I feel like the second Georgia walked in, like, you didn't do that.
* [indistinct lyrics] *
* There's no coming back for me *
And I felt like as soon as you went into a new couple,
you forgot about me completely,
because I got no indication whatsoever
that I can still be cool with you.
All you've done is put this blame on me
when I've continuously told you that I wanted to be pursued.
It has made me so sad to see how south everything went.
You think it's not sad on my behalf as well?
Like, you think I'm not sad.
Well, it doesn't feel that way,
especially not when you're literally having chats about me,
like, saying shit, like, it's so frustrating
that you had to go and, like, talk to everyone else.
I didn't talk to everyone else.
You were just there, talking to the guys,
like, saying shit about me.
I'm not saying shit about you.
You said that I was faking it, and you said that--
Like, Toby, like, you already said it, like, that's happened.
Maybe, it could've been, like, an easy fix from the beginning,
and it wouldn't have had to, like, go that way.
[sobbing] So, I don't know.
That, like, I would have never expected for him
to, like, say that about me.
* No need to reminisce *
I'm just sad, 'cause I just, like, really care about Toby.
And, like, we can't even, like, come to an agreement
about what happened between us.
I've been talking so highly of you.
And, like, I just, like, I didn't get that respect back.
And, like, it's just shit.
But, yeah, I just wanted to clear that up.
* No, no, no, no *
* See you [indistinct lyrics] *
* There's no coming back for me *
I'm gonna go get water.
- You sure it's clear? - Mm-hmm.
* Oh, I try *
* To repair the damage *
* They call me danger *
* Na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na *
* They call me danger *
* Na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na *
* Na, na-na-na *
* They call me danger *
* Na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na *
* Na, na-na-na *
* They call me danger *
NARRATOR: Hosting The Duel, it's Maura Higgins.
Hello, everyone.
How are we all doing?
["Find Me in a New Land" by Cassandra Nicol Moritz playing]
Hi, guys. How are we all doing?
We excited? You don't look too excited.
- You're getting geared up. - I'm getting geared up to go.
I love that, Liberty.
It's now time for the next Duel.
[Islanders cheering, applauding]
Lots of excitement. Are we all excited?
- ALL: Yeah. - MAURA: Yeah?
Ready to rock, come on.
The couple that loses today's Duel
will be leaving the Villa immediately.
JESSICA: Fuck.
[suspenseful instrumental playing]
Liberty and Callum and Jess and Johnny,
please, come and join me.
***
Last night, you all made decisions that meant
Imani and Ray became the new Power Couple.
You also made two couples vulnerable.
But...
this is Love Island Games,
and there are always twists and turns.
Imani and Ray.
How was your night in the Hideaway?
[Islanders laughing]
Well, I just wanna know. Was it romantic?
Yeah, we had a great time.
We got to spend more personal one-on-one time with each other.
Talk a little bit, get to know each other on a deeper level, you know?
- That sounds lovely. - IMANI: Yeah.
Did you get a text, though?
- I think so. - We did. We did get a text.
- EYAL: You got a text? - IMANI: Yeah.
When you were in the Hideaway?
Wow.
IMANI: Yeah.
MAURA: Islanders, last night, Imani and Ray received a text
whilst they were in the Hideaway.
["Pandora" by 2WEI & Edda Hayes playing]
* Open me up, and discover the end *
* I wouldn't bother, don't fight the mother *
That text gave them the power to save
one of the vulnerable couples.
* No one deserves me *
And replace them
with a couple of their choice.
* Every battle ends in defeat *
- CELY: Holy shit! - JOHNNY: That's--
JESSICA: That's crazy.
You kept that quiet, Ray, huh?
***
[theme music playing]
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island Games.
Megan's not here 'cause she's not feeling well,
but for the other Islanders, it's time for The Duel.
Are we in danger of overselling this?
Maura's just revealed that last night
Imani and Ray spared one couple,
but they had to swap another couple in to replace them.
I can't with this game, bro. I can't with this game.
CELY: Fuck
Imani and Ray,
it's now time to reveal your decision.
Which couple did you save from being vulnerable?
It was a really tough...
decision, but...
we chose Johnny and Jess.
[heroic music plays]
MAURA: Congratulations, guys.
- Wow, bro. Imani. - Oh, my God.
- MAURA: How are you feeling? - JESSICA: Oh, my God.
- Shocked. Shocked. - I'm shocked.
Thank you so so much.
Bro, Imani, Ray,
I owe you guys. Seriously, that was--
Thank you.
MAURA: Why did you pick Jess and Johnny?
We chose Jess and Johnny because we felt like
they generally do have a real connection here.
You know, he is a strong competitor, but we see it, yeah.
So, that was kind of the thought process behind it.
Jess and Johnny, congratulations.
- You can go take a seat. - Thank you so much.
MAURA: Well done, guys.
[suspenseful music plays]
Okay, Imani and Ray,
you can now tell us which couple
you decided to make vulnerable,
and who will, therefore, face Liberty and Callum
in The Duel.
[dramatic suspenseful music plays]
Um, we chose Toby and Georgia.
[Jessica gasps]
Georgia and Toby, come and join me.
- JOHNNY: Oh, my God! - Holy shit!
I'm in shock because they really have
a connection going in this villa.
You never know why people are going to make decisions.
It's not Love Island, it's Love Island Games.
I hate to see Toby get in the ring with me 'cause I was like,
"If there's anyone I don't wanna see in here it's him.
- You know what I mean? - Yeah.
Oh, guys, how are you feeling?
Um, nervous.
- MAURA: Nervous? - Yeah. Nervous.
- Were you expecting that when you woke up this morning? - No
Toby?
Let's go with it.
Ray and Imani had a tough decision.
Didn't expect it to be us. Well.
I'm fuming, I think it's bullshit, personally.
- Yeah. - I feel it's just stupid.
I think it's a stupid decision from Ray and Imani.
I don't really understand.
Why do you think you are stood up here?
I actually don't know.
I don't know 'cause, like, in the changing rooms and stuff,
I've only ever said
that I like Toby, and I like the way it's going.
So, I am quite surprised why you'd pick us, if I'm honest.
You guys had the newest connections,
so it wasn't, like, a personal kind of vendetta.
- RAY: Yeah, at all. - Yeah. Okay.
I don't know, I just feel like to have a proper connection,
it takes time to grow.
You don't just get it like that. Personally.
So...
TOBY: I think that's a real cop-out.
Georgia's new. Fair enough.
Literally throw me in there.
Well, Imani and Ray have made their decisions.
So now battling out in The Duel
are Georgia and Toby
and Liberty and Callum.
The winning couple will stay on Love Island Games.
The losing couple
will leave the Villa immediately.
I'm telling you right now, you could cut the tension with a fucking knife.
To see anybody go makes all of us sick to our fucking stomachs.
Okay, let's get you into positions
and get you ready for that duel.
- Let's go. - Ready.
And may the best couple win.
NARRATOR: In The Duel
the vulnerable couples will go head to head
in a wrestling ring in a tug of war.
Sorry, what? Did I just read that correctly?
The couples are tied together back-to-back.
At the sound of Maura's whistle,
the couples will attempt to drag their opponents
across the ring.
The first couple to ring the bell
in their corners wins the round.
The first couple to win three rounds
are our winners.
["I'm out for Blood" by Lee Richardson]
* You better pray it ain't you I'm coming for *
* I'm out for blood knock, knock at your door *
* I'm out for blood *
Islanders, are you ready?
- ALL: Yeah! - Let's work.
***
The best thing you can do for your confidence
is get that first round, focus, focus,
that's all you gotta do, just stare at the bell, just go for gold.
In three, two, one...
[whistle blows]
- Come on! Come on, guys! - JOHNNY: Toby, Toby!
JESSICA: Come on, guys!
[indistinct shouting]
Endure it! Let's go!
- JOHNNY: [indistinct] - Oh!
CALLUM: Let's go! Let's go!
- TOBY: Come on, come, come on! - GEORGIA: The corner!
JESSICA: Keep going! You put up a fight!
Let's go!
Damn!
- Wow! - JESSICA: That's round one.
MAURA: That was intense.
TOBY: It's not over yet, come on.
- Fuck. - That's one round to Liberty and Callum.
- Well done, y'all. - MAURA: Well done, guys.
Well, I wanted it real bad, especially for Georgia,
because she can't go home yet. I have to do it for her.
["I'll Never Back Down" by Devin Hoffman]
Come on, Lib, let's go. Come on.
Eliminate self-doubt, come on, you gotta believe in yourself.
- Come on, y'all - JESSICA: Proper focus, guys.
Just plant your feet and drive, come on.
Round two begins in...
* We push it right to the legend, The legend *
* Time to determine *
...three, two, one...
- [whistle blows] - [cheering]
Keep pushing!
I was literally powering.
IMANI: Keep pushing! Yeah, Toby, yeah!
GEORGIA: Oh, my God!
Sprint training, powering
as hard as that was, like,
knees raised, going for it.
GEORGIA: Oh, my God!
[excited shouting]
Come on, guys!
JOHNNY: Keep going! Keep going!
- TOBY: Left, left, left! - [Georgia exclaims]
Come on, Toby! Come on, come on, Toby!
Push it!
Come on, Toby! Come on guys. It's right there!
IMANI: Keep pushing!
Come on, Toby! Right there, right there, right there!
Keep going!
[Georgia exclaiming]
- Holy shit! - Oh!
[theme music playing]
NARRATOR: It's round two of the Tug of War Challenge.
Georgia and Toby trail Liberty and Callum by one point,
but Toby's close to ringing his bell
and leveling up the contest.
JESSICA: Let's go! Come on!
- Holy shit! - IMANI: Get up!
- Come on! - G, don't give up!
Don't give up! Get up, Toby!
- CALLUM: Come on, Lib! - JOHNNY: Don't give up! Don't give up!
- Don't give up! Don't give up! - Come on guys!
- [Islanders shouting] - JOHNNY: Keep working! Keep working!
[grunting]
- Holy shit. - TOBY: Oh, my God.
Fuck, Toby, though, you guys did great.
- Wow. You guys were so close. - You should be so proud.
Toby was giving it his all, and, like,
I was responsible for him
being in that position in general,
so, like, that shit was just, like, hard.
Toby, you were literally millimeters
from ringing that bell.
Fuck.
Liberty and Callum take that round.
- Don't worry, Tob. - Good work, guys.
It's now 2 to Liberty and Callum,
and 0 to Georgia and Toby.
Georgia and Toby, if you lose this round...
you'll be leaving the villa immediately.
It's all on this one now.
Liberty and Callum,
if you can win this one, you will win The Duel.
Get yourselves in position.
Tobes, I'm really trying, you know?
- TOBY: Yeah, I got it. - I'm trying.
It was close.
I wanted that one, that one should've been our one.
- I know. - But I slipped.
That's fine if you're slipping.
Every single person in that ring was giving 100%.
Like, it was hard to watch, let alone be in it.
One more push. One more push.
I could see it in your eyes. You were kind of like, "Hmm.
- Okay, let's go." Yeah. - Let's go.
We can do it.
Islanders, you may start in...
* [indistinct lyrics] *
Three...
two, one...
- [whistle blows] - Let's go!
[Islanders shouting]
Come on, keep driving! Let's go, let's go!
Georgia, come on! Come on, come on, come on, come on, keep pushing!
Come on, Toby, come on, Toby, come on, Toby!
- [indistinct]! - IMANI: Keep pulling!
JESSICA: Come on, guys, come on, keep pushing!
[Georgia screams]
- TOBY: Georgia, come on! - JESSICA: [indistinct].
- TOBY: Keep going! - [Georgia exclaims]
- You got it? - GEORGIA: For fuck's sake!
- LIBERTY: That's it. - [Callum sharply exhales]
TOBY: Oh!
[chilling music plays]
You could physically feel everyone's stressed and tense.
Everybody was so tense, like,
we just didn't want either of them to go home.
So, watching it was super fucking hard.
- Did you touch the rope? - Yeah, I touched the rope.
I'm not allowed to touch the rope.
Wait, she grabbed the rope?
- Who? - Liberty.
- Oh. - She grabbed the rope.
MAURA: Islanders...
unfortunately, that round does not count.
["Run You Down" by Sounds of Red Bull]
* I'm the greatest, no one can handle the heat *
* [indistinct lyrics] *
- Liberty. - Yeah?
You pulled yourself up on the ring.
Yeah. Okay.
So it's still 2-0 to Liberty and Callum.
And there's still everything to play for.
[overlapping speaking]
Let's go, Toby. Get yourself up.
Georgia, you got this. You are doing well.
KYRA: You're stronger than you think.
It's blood, sweat and tears right now.
It's literally insane.
You're a fighter.
***
Come on, guys.
MAURA: Three, two, one.
JESSICA: Let's go!
[overlapping shouting]
Come on.
[all shouting]
Keep going!
JUSTINE: Come on, guys! Come on, guys!
Yeah! Come on!
[applause]
And we have our winners.
Liberty and Callum, congratulations.
- LIBERTY: Thank you. - Way to work, guys.
You okay, bro?
["Losing My Mind" by Aria & Zopke]
* Tell me you love me and we are not over *
* 'Cause I'm losing my mind *
[theme music playing]
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island Games.
Toby and Georgia lost The Duel,
and the look on their faces
is really tugging on my heartstrings.
If they tugged this hard during The Duel,
they might still be here.
Wow, that was so intense.
Congratulations, Liberty and Callum,
How are we feeling?
Obviously, it's sad because these two just started
finding each other and a connection,
so it's sad to send them home.
Yeah, I guess, like, bittersweet, innit?
Like, if there's anyone I didn't wanna go up against today, it was Toby.
We've had a close bond since he got here.
Georgia, how are you feeling?
A bit gutted, to be honest.
'Cause, like, I like Toby.
But it is what it is, like, everything happens for a reason.
MAURA: Ray, you okay?
Don't cry. Are you gonna cry now? [laughs]
Oh.
Why are you crying, Ray?
Oh, you're gonna make me lose it.
Do you regret your decision?
Yes, It's hard to see, like, you know,
- your friends go and... - MAURA: Yeah.
...having to take people out, put people in.
It's just tough.
Well, Georgia and Toby, I'm afraid you lost The Duel.
And therefore you've been dumped from the island.
["That Sinking Feeling" by Iora playing]
* I can't do it now *
You can say your goodbyes.
And the rest of you...
I'll see you soon.
* Can't fight *
[sighs] Bro.
- [indistinct] - [indistinct]
[faint, indistinct chatter]
It was so nice to meet you girls.
Johnny boys.
* Can't release this *
- Ah, Cely. Cely. - Stop.
* Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh *
* Ooh-ooh *
* Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh *
* Desperation caused me... *
- JACK: Any regrets? - TOBY: No regrets.
- Toby. - Huh?
- Can I talk to you really quickly? - Yeah, yeah.
Why-- Don't cry, Cely.
- I know. It's just hard. - Yeah, it's--
But, like, I don't know.
No.
I'm happy I met you, so it's all right, right?
I'm really happy I met you too.
And I think that's why, like, it's just really shitty.
Like, it all happened so sudden,
and I had no idea it was gonna turn out like that.
We never-- we never know if it's gonna turn out like that now.
I just feel, like, really bad about--
- I'm already crying. - [both laugh]
How about you just sit here and give me a hug?
Just sit-- just sit here and give me a hug for a while.
Give me a hug for awhile.
It's just, like, honestly, like, I think for me,
like, I just hate that, like, the past few days,
- like, you ever thought... - Yeah.
...that--
It just really fucking sucks
'cause we obviously had a great connection
since day one and I don't know where it all went wrong.
And I just don't want you to leave ever thinking that,
like, I faked it with you or-- like, I don't want that.
- No. - I know, but I just, like,
don't want you to think that, you know?
Cely, it's all right.
The first week with you
was, like, so fucking good, you know?
And it just hits me that, like, I don't know
where it all got so fucked up.
And so I just didn't want you to leave
without knowing that I--
It was a miscommunication, Cely.
- All I have is love for you. - I know.
And I'm so happy that you're leaving here
with Georgia and that you guys are into each other.
Like, I'm so happy that you have that.
- You know? - You don't have to cry.
Because you make me sad.
- I'm gonna cry 'cause I feel sad. - You make me sad.
And like, I think it's just a miscommunication.
I just didn't-- I couldn't let you leave
without you knowing that.
Like, I would never, ever, ever fake something with you...
- Yeah. - ...or that that wasn't,
like, real to me.
- You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm.
And like--
Yeah, I just wanted you to know how I felt.
["Ghost" by Jonah Baker playing]
* That if I can't be close to you *
Cely, I'll say it again, all I have is love for you.
Like, that first week,
I wouldn't change it for the world.
I have a lot of love for you too.
And we'll definitely see each other on the outside, so...
Yeah.
- You enjoy your time in here. - Mm-hmm.
I just have so much love and respect
for both Toby and Georgia.
I just wish they had more time in here.
Like that was...
that was shit.
It's a friendship I'm gonna treasure forever
because he's just such an amazing guy.
Yeah, I just love him so much.
I don't wanna walk out with you upset.
I wanna walk out with you happy.
- Okay. - And I'm happy, so...
* I miss you more than life *
[Cely laughs]
- See you [indistinct]. - All right.
We didn't want to see you go. Like, picking anybody is hard.
God, it's so crazy.
I did really not see that coming.
JUSTINE: I don't think any of us did.
No one did, not like that.
I'm so sorry about that you're going home.
Guys, it's been a blast.
Fiji's been a blast.
Love Island Games has been a blast.
You guys go ahead and enjoy the rest of it.
But, look, I want to go out on a high.
I want to see smiles. I don't want no tears, right?
Now, you've been a top bro from the start.
Like, you get me, like--
Yeah, it's shit for you to go there, like, fuck.
And then you gotta fight the Love Island.
[all laughing]
[overlapping shouting]
Guys! Guys!
Look at his face!
Nah, fuck.
- Callum, man. - Love you bro. Love You.
I obviously didn't want to go up against Toby today,
and he's probably one of the last of the boys
I wanted to go up against.
Like we've had such a strong connection
since day one, like, he's, like, he's one of the boys, you know?
So, to see him go, it just fucking sucks.
I never thought I'd get this emotional
to be fair, but, fuck, he's a top bloke.
I've been through doom and gloom with you. Give me a hug.
- Oh, are you crying? - A little bit, yeah.
Guys, we came, we conquered.
Love Island Games 2023.
We out.

so Love Island actually worked really and truly.

I was in there for a short time, but I had a good time.
And, Love Island Games, we're done.
