IAIN STIRLING: Previously...
on Love Island...
# Whose idea was that? # ..the villa was in meltdown.
Ellie and Tom kissed today.
I need to just have a minute before I go off
because I swear to God...
Tom?
# Cheat and lie is so absurd...
# Feel the fear That's what we've learned
# Fuel the fire, let it burn... #
You can't have your cake and ate it. I'm not trying...
No, because you are.
You're forgetting that it's people's feelings.
It's not really fair, bro.
You haven't heard the full story, bro,
so don't come at me like that.
Everything that's ever come out of your mouth is absolute bullocks...
You're so boring. ..and you're playing a massive game.
Again.
Idiot.
I do find the girl attractive, she is my type,
and she is a nice girl.
I just feel like I'm never number one.
You've always been number one to me. How?
Have I meant to make you feel a type of way?
You have very little respect for me, and I don't like it.
TEXT ALERT I've got a text!
Ah!
"Tonight, there will be a recoupling.
"The girl not picked to be in a couple
"will be dumped from the island immediately."
IAIN: It's recoupling time in the villa,
a time to celebrate for our happy couples
Shaq and Tanya, farmer Will and Jessie and...
Oh, I've ran out of happy couples.
The boys are choosing,
and the girl who isn't picked will be dumped from the island.
It's decision time for Will.
He's currently coupled up with Jessie.
I have decided to couple up with this girl
because from the point she came into the villa,
we've been stuck together like glue.
I think she's honestly the most beautifulist girl
I have ever seen.
I think she's kind,
I think she makes me a better person,
and as the days go on, I truly believe
that I'm getting more involved and deeper into the connection.
# I can't live without you... #
So, the girl I would like to couple up with is...
Jessie.
# I was lost for a moment And nobody noticed
# So used to not feeling right
# Till I found you
# I found you... #
Next up is Aaron.
Right now, he's in a couple with Lana.
# When your heart is so far So far away... #
I've decided to couple up with this girl
because I think that she deserves to be in here
and to open herself up more,
whether that's with anyone in here now, or anyone to come in,
and I feel like she deserves more than what she has got,
and I think she probably doesn't know that just yet.
The girl I'd like to couple up with is...
..Lana.
# Don't say you love me
# Just to stop me from leaving... #
# There's only pain in deceiving
# Cos you just gotta let me go... #
IAIN: The third boy to pick is Spencer.
At the moment, he's coupled up with Olivia.
I've decided to couple up with this girl because over the last few days,
she's really put in the time to get to know me,
she's stunning, and I'd like to see where things go in the future.
# I fill you up
# Drink from my cup
# Within me lies What you really want... #
So the girl I'd like to couple up with is...
..Olivia.
# In the middle of the night
# Just call my name I'm yours to tame
# In the middle of the night
I'm wide awake
# I crave your taste all night long
# Till morning comes... #
IAIN: Shaq is next to choose.
He is in a couple with Tanya.
# I'm forgetting everyone
# Everyone but you... #
I've decided to couple up with this girl
because seeing her smile every day genuinely makes me smile.
She is one of the kindest, most beautiful women
that I've ever met in my entire life.
I honestly feel like the future that we will have together
will be something special.
And I just want to carry on exploring that further.
I think everyone in the villa knows
how much of a nice person that she is.
She's always there for everyone.
She honestly makes my heart skip a beat.
# Say you love... #
So the girl I want to couple up with is...
Tanya.
# May you fall in love someday
# Fall in love someday
# Say you love... #
IAIN: It's Kai's turn to choose.
He's coupled up with Tanyel, but they had a falling out.
# Been trying to change what I've
# Been trying to save... #
I've decided to couple with this girl
because she's absolutely beautiful.
From the conversations I've had with her,
she seems like she's got really nice characteristics
and she's got a brilliant personality.
I'd like to explore that connection further,
and see if there is a genuine connection there.
So that's why I've made my decision.
# Oh, oh
# Why are we always Looking for more? #
So, the girl I want to couple up with is...
# Oh, oh...
# Why are we always Looking for more? #
..Samie.
# Why are we always Looking for more? #
IAIN: Ron's the next to pick.
He's coupled up with Ellie.
# You were there for me
# You were there for me... #
I've decided to couple up with this girl
because she has stood by me
and watched me mess up time and time again,
and put me in check every single time.
And in here, I hold her as such high value,
and I think she's the most beautiful person, inside and out.
And I couldn't stand experiencing this journey without you
as my best friend in here.
So the girl I want to couple up with is...
..Tanyel.
# In all of my lonely nights
# When I was a ghost inside
# You were there for me. #
Come here, beautiful. I love you!
# Whenever I drank too much
# Whenever my eyes cried floods
# You were there for me
# You were there for me. #
IAIN: Tom is the last boy to choose.
He's with Zara, but will he pick Zara or Ellie?
The girl he doesn't choose will be dumped.
# Bang, bang, that awful sound
# Bang, bang... #
I would like to couple up with this girl
because I feel like she's had a rough time in the villa so far.
It's not an easy decision for me,
and I don't want to see anyone go home.
I do believe this girl's... I do believe she's genuine,
and she does want to meet someone in this villa.
She deserves a fair shot, whether that be with me or someone else.
So the girl I'd like to couple up with is...
Ellie.
# So what you gonna do about it Tonight?
# What you gonna do about it?
# So what you gonna do about it Tonight?
# So what you gonna do about it?
# What you gonna do about it? #
SHE CHUCKLES
I'm so sorry. It's OK.
I literally felt it, it's fine.
You have so much to offer, I'm really upset.
No, it's all right, it's all right.
It's never nice for me to be in that position to send anyone home,
no matter what's happened, no matter what's been said.
But I'd already made my mind up.
# Am I the last thing on your mind?
# Cos you're the first on mine... #
Zara, your DMs are gonna be packed, anyway.
Honestly, like, I was just feeling it today, like,
I feel like it's my time to go.
You brought so much energy to this villa. Yeah, literally.
You made genuine connections, you've made a genuine connection.
I hope, you know, everyone does in here.
But, like, y eah, I didn't feel it. That's fair. It's all good.
You're gonna have them falling at your feet.
Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna hug my dad.
ALL: Aw! Wait, no, look, I won't get upset.
I know myself and Zara haven't had the best ride in here,
we've had our ups and downs,
but I honestly think she's such a great girl,
and she deserves the best.
Honestly, you've done what was... you knew was the right decision.
Do you think Samie was happy with the decision?
I don't know, I'd better not speak to her about it.
Boys, doesn't mean she's closed off.
You know what I mean? No, it does.
THEY CHUCKLE
# Tell me, Am I the last thing on your mind? #
I can't wait to see you outside the villa,
we need to have a night out in Chelsea.
Yes, definitely, definitely. I'm gonna go find some rich...
THEY LAUGH ..and older.
# I don't feel right... #
We're going to miss you so much, Zara.
The villa is gonna be so quiet without you.
I love you. ALL: Aw!
Honestly, guys, like, I'm good, so, like, be good. Bye, guys.
CHEERING
Of course, it's bittersweet to be leaving the villa tonight.
I did have a great time in there, despite the ups and downs.
Clearly the right person for me is on the outside,
and I'm fine with that.
Queen Z is still looking for her king!
# Am I the last thing On your mind? #
IAIN: In the re-coupling,
Ron picked Tanyel cos Kai picked Samie,
and Tanyel was available for picking cos Kai picked Samie.
Ron and Tanyel have so much in common (!)
RON: Hey, couple. I love you. I love you too.
Samie is a little bit disappointed. I know. She wanted you or Tom.
I saw it in her face, and Will saw it as well.
But, can I say something to you? Go on.
I feel like I've been really open with my feelings with you lately.
Yeah.
I was thinking I'd much rather be with you, yeah,
than be his second option, honestly, I'd much rather,
I wanted it to go this way,
I would not want to be coupled up with him,
and being in a bed with someone I don't rate. Yeah.
Ron and Tanyel might kick off, you know?
She's always said she wants him to cuddle her in bed, so...
I genuinely think they have a connection.
I've said it... I was saying it to you.
I've been saying that from day one.
I said it to you, didn't I, before?
I have never felt so hostile from someone being with Ron, than Tanyel.
I think they'll actually get together. Yeah, same.
I think they could be a thing.
I think it could be a thing. Plot twist.
You've been dying to be in bed with me all week.
It's not. I, fuckin', there are people that I would much rather
be in bed with, but I am glad that you're here
and I am glad that we're in a couple together. Mm-hm.
And I'm glad it's you, because at least then I can spoon a mate,
do you know what I mean?
Shut it, you.
IAIN: After a tricky re-coupling,
Ron has no idea where he's gonna stick the big sausage.
I'd just pop it on the floor, mate, you know, make some room for Lana.
How are you? Yeah, I'm OK, how are you? Good.
Good. I'm glad you're here. Me too.
Where to start? Hmm.
I see you and Samie. I'm not blind.
I see her, like, wanting to be around you
and I see you wanting to be around her.
And that's fine.
That's how we was. Was.
I always... I still always want to be around you,
I still was always like that, always looked at you the way I do,
I still look you the same way now.
Get to know Spencer, get to know Aaron,
get to know whoever walks through that door.
At some point, I'm gonna have my week where I'm coupled with ya.
You say this, and, like, you have got the gift of the gab,
I'll give you that. But I ain't seen nothing.
I don't care what happens, what conversations,
what walks through the door, nothing. Mm-hm.
I've always felt... like I'm an option. I know.
I've felt second best, so right now, for me,
I'm still where I was.
Actions are a lot louder than words.
And that's it. That's fairs.
I am a strong woman.
And I don't let no man treat me like that.
And he knows that I'm taking a step back
and doing my own thing for now.
IAIN: Kai picked Samie in the re-coupling.
Those are actually Magic Eye trousers Kai's wearing,
if you squint at them really hard, you can actually see...
a terrible pair of trousers.
There you go. Oh, my God.
How do you feel after that first re-coupling, then?
Do you know what, like, I was so shocked.
You happy to be in a couple with me?
I am happy to be in a couple with you.
Obviously, it's still so early, so it's like I'm still
getting to know everyone at the minute.
All of you have different qualities, like, so...
Yeah, and it's hard, isn't it? Do you know what I mean?
When it came to that decision, I just thought,
"You know what? I've to be true to myself."
Would it work with Tanyel on the outside? No.
And then I thought, would it work with you on the outside?
And I thought, I don't know, but... Yeah, it's not a no.
I'll take... HE CHUCKLES
I'll take the shot and just see.
Get me, giving you my best pillow talk.
THEY LAUGH Oh, no. God.
I'll be there, fucking rushing down. "What do you want? A cup of tea?
"Cup of tea, two sugars?" I hope so!
I think Ron and Tanyel will be happy, you know.
I think they've got a bit more of a spark than they're letting on.
Hm? Yeah, like, just watch it.
Them two, I think them two will end up in a proper couple.
No way. No, I promise you, right.
That's a bold statement. I'll remember you said this.
Yeah, it's different when you're sharing a bed
and you're spending more time with people.
Like, bonds happen and you could start to get connections.
That's true. That's true.
Me and Kai really, really get along, but so far,
I haven't had that, like, cheeky, fun, flirty vibe from him yet.
And I had that with a couple of people in here
and I haven't had that yet with Kai.
IAIN: Kai's got something that Ron desperately wants,
and I'll give you a clue, it's not his trousers.
Samie was the right call there, bro.
The only thing I'm gonna tell you, cos you're my boy,
is that she looked a little bit like...
Not disappointed, that's the wrong word.
But she just...
It was almost like she didn't want a decision.
You've got that chance now
to really see whether or not there's something there.
And there's no other girl in here that really is going to do the same
as what Samie does to you.
We've played this very badly since we've been in here.
We have. Just play it smart.
Don't be like how we've been moving before
cos is getting us nowhere. Yeah.
Bro, the thing is, I'm still getting on the job, bro.
I'm gonna get to know all of them.
Like, I'm literally not deading off anything with anyone else or...
I'm literally gonna be on the job just as much as I was today.
Yeah, yeah. You know I mean?
So, what about you? How are you feeling?
Erm, I'm not gonna lie,
I'm in the worst position I've ever been in.
But now I'm taking a massive risk, I'm dropping absolutely everything,
and I need to try my fucking hardest
to open up a book that's been closed twice now.
Fair point, bro.
I don't deserve her, but...
I fucking got to try.
IAIN: Farmer Will's mum and dad
have sent him over some delicious pork sausages.
Or as they were called last week, Percy.
Shall we go on the daybeds? Yeah.
What a night. I know!
I was literally just going to say that. What a fucking night.
I was not expecting that. No.
Obviously when I was standing there,
I was like, "Ugh, what the hell's about to go on?" Hmm.
I feel like because, like, obviously it came out how it was,
I feel like, even with me and you, the whole situation was very rushed,
I felt like I had to make a decision about, like, me and you.
Oh, right, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean?
I do think you're a very genuine person.
You do deserve a chance in here. Yeah. Thank you.
And yeah, like, I don't know, like...
Who knows what could happen in here?
It would just be nice to just spend time with you... Yeah.
..in, like, any respect. Yeah.
Like, platonically, or whatever.
What? What does that mean? Everyone says that.
Say it again. Platonically.
What a word! I'm gonna add that to my vocabulary.
Oh, my God, Tom! Do you not know what that means?
Pla-what? Patonically?
Platonically. Platonically.
Like, that means like non-romantically.
But yeah, like, I'm glad me and you are OK.
Never say never, you know what I mean? Babe, we're always OK.
But yeah, I am really grateful that you saved me.
Thank you!
IAIN: In the recoupling, Shaq bared his soul to Tanya.
Now she's ready to bare her soles to him.
The heels are off! Are they hurting your feet?
No. Just more comfortable.
All right.
Are you OK?
I'm good. How are you? I'm OK.
Just the way you smile makes me smile. Hmm-mm.
And, like, everything that's happened with us,
and how things have progressed, I'm gonna be honest, like,
just the way I feel about you is...
is just getting stronger and stronger every day.
I do, when I look in your eyes,
I do see a whole future with you. Yeah?
I know that what we have is very special. Yeah?
And just look you in the eye and tell you that...
Oooh!
# You're just too good To be true... #
Tanya. Yes?
# Can't take my eyes off of you... #
I love you.
SHE SQUEALS
I love you too, babe. I really do.
Mmm.
# At long last, love has arrived
# And I thank God I'm alive... #
SHE LAUGHS
I'm in love!
HE LAUGHS
# Can't take my eyes off you... #
I love you, too.
IAIN: The Islanders are heading to bed
after a night when Zara said "ta-ra,"
and got in a... car-a.
Zara did strut her stuff on the way out.
She did a good walkout. I would have, literally, been crying.
Yeah! It was actually a bit iconic.
D'you know what, I'm actually, like, so happy
that me and her patched things up before she left.
# On nights like these... #
They've been here two days, and Ron and Tom have shown this,
like, fun, flirty, cheeky side to them,
and that's what I initially look for in a guy straightaway. Cool.
I haven't had that in a guy yet.
# On nights like these... #
I really appreciate Aaron as a friend,
like, I genuinely think that we really get on,
and I feel like we've got each other's back in here,
which is nice.
Yes, Aaron, you've got a six-pack! Relax, brother.
# If you're letting go... #
CHATTER
Now I don't have to look at you!
LAUGHTER
This is what happens, like. I don't wanna leave!
# I drive these streets... #
HE MAKES KISSING SOUNDS
HE LAUGHS
# On nights like these
# Nights like these... #
# I've got a good feeling... #
IAIN STIRLING: Last night, Kai got the feeling
that the girl he picked wasn't feeling the "Samie" way about him.
So it looks like Kai is not going to be feel this Samie anytime soon.
Morning!
Good morning, everyone. Good morning!
Oh, it feels weird without Zara.
Samie, how are you feeling, first night in here?
I'm happy to be here.
You lot are loud, though. Downstairs is well silent.
# When I woke up today I got a good feeling... #
TEXT ALERT
I've got a text! ALL CHEER
READS:
# I've got a good feeling... #
#freshmeat, #morningglory!
GIRLS CHEER
I'm taking Jordan. I've always loved a Jordan.
Two boys?
GIRLS SQUEAL
Did anyone see Lana fucking move the quickest
that I've ever seen her?
I've never seen her move so quick. Innit? Neither have I.
IAIN: Say hello to Casey and Jordan.
They can walk the walk, they can talk the talk,
but they can't tie their shoelaces.
I'm Casey, I'm 26,
I'm a recruitment consultant from Tring.
# I don't know what I would do
# Without your love... #
What I'm bringing is blue eyes, a cheeky smile
and a lot better chat than the other lads.
I've definitely got my eye on a couple of girls in the villa.
# I'd jump again and again... #
I'm Jordan, I'm 28,
I'm a senior HR adviser, and I'm from London.
My best feature would be my height because I'm six foot five.
It just makes me stand out.
I think the other boys in the villa
should be worried about me because everyone is up for grabs.
No-one's safe.
ALL CHEER
They're going to be fit.
# All I need is your light In my life
# Give me the green light... #
Someone answered my prayers.
# All I need Is your light in my life... #
What do you reckon these lads are going to be like?
Do you reckon they'll be sound?
They will go in full guns blazing on these girls,
and they'll not have any loyalty to us.
The boys are getting a taste of their own medicine.
To be honest, even Tom sat there, like, with a straight face.
So, who's being open today, then?
I'm as single as it gets.
# Ba, da-da, da, dum
# We can make it together... #
Ron's gonna be shaking in his boots. 100%.
This is what you needed.
A breath of fresh air, two hot new men,
and mimosas in the morning. Mimosas in the morning! Mm-hm.
I've got a little secret. Oh, what?
I was actually gonna tell you boys, this morning, yeah...
Spit it out! OK! Come on.
Shaq took me upstairs on the terrace yesterday, last night.
And then he was like, "I just want to let you know...
that I love you."
ALL SQUEAL
I told her that I loved her.
What?! Yeah.
Fucking huge, bro! Yeah.
Yes! No fucking way!
Lover boy, lover boy!
What perfect timing for him to say that, though.
Innit, cheeky boy! Oh, d'you know what...
Can we rewind?
# Ba, da-da, da, dum
# We can make it together... #
Hello, hello, hello! Hi!
Hello!
Hi, girls. Hi, girls.
You all right?
How you doing? Nice to meet you.
ALL GREET EACH OTHER
Shall we go to the firepit? Let's do it.
# We can make it together. #
Two new boys.
No, no, no, no, actually, two new men.
Our prayers were answered!
How old are you guys? I've asked you guys to guess.
I won't be offended. Guess? Yeah.
Please be older than me. I'm fed up am very being the oldest!
Casey, you're 26. Yeah, I'm 26.
ALL: Ah!
I'm actually 28. Are you? Really?
Finally, I'm not the oldest in the villa!
I think we're the two oldest in here now. Yeah, you are.
Oldest and tallest, right?
You might be able to teach the boys how to act mature.
ALL: Ooh!
The boys how to act like men. Like men! Not boys, men.
I can't wait to get on job.
Yeah, I'm excited to get my flirt on with them.
What do you both do? I work in recruitment in London.
Nice. I work in London as well.
I'm a senior HR adviser. Not junior, senior.
LAUGHTER
Senior! Senior.
How long have you both been single? Coming up to a year now. OK.
How's that been? Yeah, it's been good,
I've been enjoying it, but I think now is, like,
I'm getting old, so I need to settle down.
LAUGHTER
I've been single for a minute, to be fair, I've lost count. Yeah?
Yeah, I've lost count, it's been too long.
I'm trying to settle down now, you know?
Find my life partner, just keep it moving. Yeah.
Oh, my God, I literally sat around the fire pit
and I was just sweating, not even cos of the sun.
HE YAWNS
Morning! What's going on? Hey!
What's happening, boys? All right, lads.
Both of them are fucking shredded, aren't they?
Oh, he's tall as fuck, as well. Fuck, is it?
How long do you think they can hold that tense for?
LAUGHTER
Who's married off, then?
I'm pretty happy where I am, to be honest.
Are you? Yeah.
And you're with? Will. OK.
And I'm happy with my couple as well.
And you're with? Shaq. Shaq, OK.
Other than that... We've come in at a group the time.
Yeah, you've come in at a great time.
Who's in a friendship couple? Me. Me.
Damn. So do you guys have, like, a specific type?
Like, what's the vibes? What's the vibes?
Er, not really, to be honest. Like, I just love girls that are sexy.
LAUGHTER You're in the right place.
That's what I mean. That's why I've come.
But they've just gotta have the same energy as me,
like, we've gotta click.
And I think it's more about personality, isn't it?
I probably sound like a broken record, but...
Yeah, I feel like everyone speaks about personality,
but do you know what it is, what is, like, looks, everyone's got looks.
You have to have that initial attraction.
At the beginning, yeah, of course. Of course.
Olivia was giving me some sort of eye contact.
I think she was giving me the eye.
To be fair, I think they were all giving me the eye,
I can't even lie to you. I reckon Tanyel's gassed.
Probably. I reckon Samie's probably a bit gassed.
A lot of them are. I reckon they're all gassed.
I reckon they all are.
Girls are gassed. We are gassed.
I feel like new people coming in is just like...
It's a vibe.
And because it's two new guys, they're mature, they're big,
they're confident, like, it's just...
The boys are gonna be shaking in their boots,
and I can't wait to see how it all unravels.
I'm gonna be holding my popcorn, and hopefully I'm not in the mix
because I'm in love.
IAIN: Casey gave the ladies a taster of the dynamite chat he promised,
with this solid-gold line, "I like sexy girls."
Now it's time for the boys to say hello to Jordan
and the bants-meister himself.
What're you saying about the girls?
Obviously, they're not a bad bunch to look at, are they?
Yeah, I know, they're so fit. Yeah. Good looking girls.
What's your usual type?
I don't really have a type, you know, I'll be real with you.
Get added to the list, everyone doesn't have a type.
It's about personality.
I've been... I've had flings with brunettes and stuff,
so it's not like I don't like brunettes,
but I've just been more attracted towards blondes.
I fancy both of them.
As soon as they came outside, I was like, "Ooh." Same.
Really? Aah!
Jordan is... I was like, "Shit!" Shit.
What if you fancy him? What would you do then?
To be honest, it will take a lot.
He can't just be this big, tall, nice, good-looking guy with a beard.
Yeah. He'd have to fall down from heaven himself,
do you know what I mean? Maybe he has.
My prayers have been answered.
Someone up there decided to gift us two boys.
Casey is a bit of me.
Jordan is so fit.
It's like a kid in a sweet shop.
So what happened with you and Lana?
She's still on my radar, yeah. Very much so.
I needed you to come in, her to get to know you
and then realise that I'm the better man, innit?
LAUGHTER
Only time will tell, I guess.
We need to remember how they were when Samie came in,
because none of us felt good, did we? They were single as.
Not that we're petty. We're classy ladies.
Also, if you boys just get to know all of them,
because at the start I felt like I was a bit tunnel vision.
JORDAN: Yeah, I get you.
And I felt like I had to come in here
and find a connection straightaway.
I think both of them are cute.
It's gonna be very interesting, the boys have been very relaxed.
Very relaxed. Very relaxed.
The whole time they've been so relaxed.
And you know what, we're gonna have the power.
This is what I need.
IAIN: Jordan's grilling the girls, so far he's found out
they don't listen to North African House,
West African House or East African House,
but he's got one final question up his sleeve.
Any of you lot listen to South African House?
South African House? That's rogue.
I don't know.
No, but I love Afro Beats. Yeah, me too. I love Afro Beats.
TEXT ALERT
GIRLS: Ooh!
I got a text!
I love that.
Now I'm panicking! I'm gonna loose my girl!
# You say I'm hard to please... #
The girl I wanna take on a date is...
# Go on, say what you need... #
..Tanyel.
And the girl I'd like to take out on a date is...
Lana.
Ron's like, "I knew it, I knew it."
Get you girls ready!
Jordan. Yo.
This is eBay as well. Is it?
You're putting on a deep voice. What do you mean?!
LAUGHTER
CHEERING
No, his face, he was like, "A-ha-ha."
You know when boys try and laugh off their feelings?
I was like, "You're hurt."
CHEERING
Going on a date!
This is my first date. Cheers, you're welcome. Thank you.
IAIN STIRLING: New boys Casey and Jordan have headed off
with Lana and Tanyel
cos they're spending the day speed-dating.
Bloody hell, if that's speed-dating, I'd hate to see them slow-dating!
# Cos I don't know how I feel
# I've been waiting on you... #
All right?
I'm good, how are you? Yeah, good.
Oh, my gosh. Thank you.
So, Tanyel, talk to me, man. What's going on?
How's it been for you inside the villa? Good.
Like, obviously, we've had our son downs and stuff,
but everything's gone quite well.
Like, it's nice to get to know everyone
on a deeper level and stuff. Mm.
I've been enjoying my time here. I'm glad you guys have come in. Yeah?
Now we can get to know each other. OK. See how we get on.
Let's have a little cheers. Cheers to that.
So, cheers to our first date. Cheers.
And your first... First day, first date. Lucky girl!
How do you feel about it? Yeah, good. I feel good.
I feel confident. Yeah?
Do you feel like you're gonna stir some things up in the villa?
I don't think I'm gonna stir things in the villa. Mm.
I'm just gonna very much be myself. Yeah.
Go for who I wanna go for. Yeah.
There's definitely some girls that I'd like to get to know more
that the boy's probably won't be too happy about. Yeah.
But... Am I your type?
Yeah. Big time. Yeah, you are. Well, that's nice. Yeah.
In the past, I've always sort of gravitated towards blondes. Yeah.
So I would definitely say you're my type. Yeah.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
So, as you know, I'm 28 years old. Yeah. I'm glad you're older.
I would say I'm very mature for my age.
Like, I know what I want. I'm not really here to play games. Mm.
I'm here to sort of find a life partner
and settle down and start life, cos I'm gonna be 30 soon. Mm.
So I think now's the perfect time to do it.
You know what, my thing is, like,
when you first walked into the villa,
I was looking at your eyes and your teeth,
cos you've got amazing eyes and teeth.
And also, like, I'm massive on energy,
so as soon as someone walks in,
I can tell if I'm gonna vibe with them or not.
And I feel like you just had, like, a good energy.
You don't have to be, like, the loudest in the room
to come across, like, with the best energy. Yeah.
D'you know what I mean? I feel like you kind of match me in that way.
It's so weird that you say that, like,
when I walked in and I was eyeing up all the girls,
when I caught eye contact with you I definitely, like,
felt there was something there. Yeah.
And it's weird to think that when we haven't even spoken
or haven't even got to know each other.
Were you giving me the eye?
Yeah, I was massively giving you the eye.
SHE LAUGHS
All my exes are completely different to each other,
like, I've never thought,
"Oh, my God, that's not gonna happen",
and not gone for that person.
I've always had, like, a friendship first or it's developed after. Yeah.
So, it's just something I need to see,
but I do like that you're confident and you do come across really mature
and like a man to me. Nice. Thank you.
And I really feel like you've done really well,
so it's good times, good vibes. Yeah, you do seem really lovely.
Thank you, I feel like you are as well. Thank you.
Cheers to our first date. I've enjoyed it. Yeah, me too.
And hopefully many more to come. Yeah, definitely. Cheers.
Cheers.
So, who are you picking for your next date?
Er, can I pick you again?
SHE LAUGHS I wish.
I would like to pick Olivia. If that's OK?
Olivia, of course. I'll go and get Olivia for you.
Thank you very much.
Who would you like to choose for your next date?
Can you please go and get Samie for me?
Yeah. Thank you.
I'll see you in a bit. See ya.
# Strong enough to let it go... #
IAIN: Tanyel, Lana, you're going in the wrong direction!
Keep walking that way and you'll end up in Botswana.
Meanwhile, back at the villa,
Kai's had a bit of a light bulb moment.
We just fucked all our situations up.
No, don't bring us into that.
Ron, how are you feeling about that Lana situation?
Mate, I'm not gonna lie, I'm chilling.
You not gutted? A little bit?
Bro, it's literally...
It's been coming, bro, ain't it?
It's as if people don't believe me when I say,
"This is what we needed."
Like, thank fuck, she'll feel the way that I felt
when she's grafting another fella and getting to know them, you know,
and now it's sort of like... she can't say anything about it
and it's now like you're both in the same predicament.
But I don't think Lana going into it will be like,
"Oh, Ron's done it so I'm gonna do it", sort of thing.
Do you know what I mean?
I think tensions will be a bit different going in.
She needs to go and do that, she needs to go and find out
what sort of fella he is and then realise that I'm better,
it's literally as simple as that.
And you went on a date, you and Lana were in a good place,
and now, the position that you've basically put yourself,
and you've put her in now, I feel like now she's gonna be
a lot more open to this... to Casey now.
She needs to be a lot more open, that was the whole point.
Do you feel like
you've done anything wrong in the Lana situation?
One thing I did wrong was promise something that I didn't do.
I'm just gonna give you the realness now.
The way you've treated that girl is...
I feel like it's out of order, and it's a bit wrong,
because you've said one thing, you've done another,
that girl, like, has serious feelings for you,
and I feel like you've taken complete advantage of her,
because you know that she's such a nice girl
and she was gonna be there for you for the whole time.
And you've turned your head,
like, you've spoken to this girl, that girl, whatever,
you're saying one thing to Lana, and then doing the complete opposite.
I said that once. No, you haven't, bro.
You haven't said that once.
I don't agree with how you treated her.
I think what you've said and what you do
is two completely different things.
You said I should have just gone with Lana
and not explored any other person? No, I never!
You did. That's what you said to me.
I dare you to tell me when I said that.
You said that Lana is your number-one priority,
but you've treated that girl, at any point,
anything but your number-one priority.
You've treated her like your safety net.
I've always treated her as my number-one priority.
No, you haven't, bro. What I feel like
is you're waiting for someone to come in to be better than Lana.
Do you know what I mean?
All of yous might think I treat her as my safety net...
Bro, I know she could drop me like that.
You know that she won't. You know that she's too nice.
Because you know that she's not attracted to anyone else here.
But that's what I am saying that she needs to get to know Casey,
and realise what it actually means to be attracted -
You're telling me that if Lana was attracted
to two or three guys in here,
at the same time when you were going on dates,
I could bet my life on it
that you would not have moved the way you have moved,
because you know that Lana has the potential to go with other people.
Bro, are you joking?! No, I'm not joking, I'm being honest.
And a lot of people think it.
# Baby, you're no good. #
