Snog the three Islanders you have the most sexual tension with.
# Here I am Stuck in the middle with you... #
..one girl... Snog the Islander
you would most like to have a sneaky link with. Sorry, bro.
It's been a tough night for me. ..saw new opportunities.
I just assumed that you two were completely shut off.
I know, I hate that. I'm not worried.
# Stuck in the middle with you... #
You're open to meeting new people. And I'm still very open.
CHEERING
If the girl's tasty, things are getting sticky.
Tonight...
I feel like we just clicked. Yeah, I felt at that. I felt that.
..emotions run high... I don't wanna give you the energy
when you're not gonna give me any reciprocation back.
..and someone... ECHOES: Someone.
The boy...
I would like to couple up with... ..has to go.
Is... ECHOES:Is... Is...
THEME PLAYS
# I could only... #
Sammy's arrival got some of the lads worrying
it could spell curtains for their relationship,
which would be terrible. I mean, not as terrible
as the curtains Sammy's hairdresser gave him, but still...
# I could only... #
Did you feel some type of way? About what?
About you? Dunno, about me going on a date?
Nah, it's just shit. It's, like, not the best feeling, innit? Mm-hm.
What if he keeps pulling me for chats?
What are you gonna do? What can I do?
If guys are coming in and wanna talk to you,
then give them the time of day.
That's what I'm saying, not saying, "Go out and seek other guys."
SHE CHUCKLES I'm saying,
give guys the time of the day if they speak to you. Mm-hm.
And then, when you... realise... And you're a smart girl.
When you know that I'm still the best
and you come and sit right back here. Like I said.
Oh, you think I'll know what's best for me. Yeah.
And it'll be you. Yeah.
Love the confidence. Thanks.
Anyway, I like how it's going. Do you think, erm,
do you think you'll, like, step up now?
Your game a little bit more? Me? Yeah. Yeah, maybe.
I'm gonna see. Now that someone's came in and took me on a date.
Yeah, we'll see. HE CHUCKLES
IAIN: It's time for the Islanders to get ready for the evening.
It would take them three hours,
but luckily they're contractually obliged
to do it through the medium of montage.
Are we going to get ready? Yeah, go and get ready. Yeah.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
# When I wake in the morning Gold and silver surround me
# Always there when I need it... #
Aw! Aw-oo-oo-ooh!
With a skirt, yeah. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. OK. Yeah!
# Everybody wants Everybody needs... #
You saying, just in the bath, cos Sammy's here?
That's what I'm saying, mad. You reckon he's into? I dunno.
# Everybody needs Different shades of love... #
Just because I ain't stressing, don't mean I don't care about her.
Bro, am I stressing? Do I look like I'm stressing?
HE CHUCKLES
Are you on the pull tonight? Yeah, I'm chatting to everyone.
Even I'm gonna pull Molly for a chat, today, bro.
I dunno who I'm gonna pull first... I'll probably pull Molly first.
Oh, I see you in that. That's cute?
She's tasty, she's defo a bit of me.
I'm not, I'm not worried... at all. Believe me. Not one bit.
LAUGHTER
Honestly, I'm more worried about you, bro.
# Lo-o-o-o-o-ove... #
I actually feel fit tonight, girls. You look fit.
# Different shades of love Lo-o-o-o-o-ove... #
Here's to me being in the villa, and all you lovely people,
and letting me crack on to your girls.
GIRLS LAUGH
HE GROANS Talk to me, fella.
Yeah, so all three dates went really well, if I'm honest.
Like, I can't lie, Molly was my favourite.Mm-hm.
I'll pull her, and I wanna to get to know her now.
At the end of the day, like, she said to me,
like she was open to getting to know other people and that, as well,
so, it's not like I'm just going off a limb, like...Bro, five days in.
If you've got a connection... That what I'm saying.
And what I'll say, Sammy, is, like, if you go for Mol,
I'm never gonna have a face on with you.
And that's it, bro... The thing is, you're in here for a reason,
do you know what I'm saying? Like, if you was in my shoes,
you'd do the same thing, and I'd be all right about it,
do you know what I'm saying? 100%.
Do your thing, get to know the girls and that. Mol's got good craic.
Like I say, if you got a connection, bro, as much as I think we have...
Yeah, no, I'm not saying you ain't,
but it was the fact that we got on well, and she said, like,
she was open to getting to know, like,
she wanted to get to know me and that.Yeah.
And, like earlier, it was like, when everyone was out,
I didn't wanna stand here, just stand in front of her
and give it the big 'un, you know what I'm saying?
"I wanna just pull you, give you a chat."
Are you gonna pull anyone? Yeah.
I'm gonna talk to Mitch. I'm gonna talk to Zach.
And I wanna talk to Sammy. Oh, triple threat. Cheers.
Yeah, cheers. Cheers to that, babe.
You've just come out and said, "I don't give a heck no more."
You've came in, you've met Mitch, and he's been, like, so 100% there,
and you've not really been, like, wowed by the other guys,
so you've been kind of going along with it.
And I have, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But before you're ready, you already got yourself into something
that you're not 100% about. Yeah.
In this situation, in this scenario,
I just need a bit of space, just a bit of air.
Yeah. Yeah.
You need to chat to all the boys. Like, you need to be open.
Hun, just explore and see who...
All right, Molly, can I have a quick chat with you?
Me? Yaahh. Yay! Yeah.
Right, I'll see you in a bit. We love the fit, babe.
Thank you. Love yours as well.
Oh, you're matching. You're matching!
That's what I said. It's a sign, innit?
Girl! Girl. Girl.
Aw, thanks! Don't want you to fall.
Cheers, my dears. Thank you very much.
SHE SIGHS
How are you? Well, well, well. What is the crack?
It's nice to see you dressed. Is it?
I was thinking the opposite. What are your thoughts?
Well, I was gonna come and speak to you at some point, so...
You was gonna come and speak to me? Yeah. Was you?
You've caught me off-guard, yeah. What was you gonna talk about?
Just how you're feeling and what you're thinking.
What's going on in your little noggin.
Well, it's pretty obvious, innit? That you're defo a bit of me. Yeah?
Just trying to work out if I'm a bit of you.
Yeah, you are. Of course you are. I felt like we just, like, clicked.
Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. No, I felt that. I felt that.
Obviously, like, you're coupled up and that... Yeah.
But, like, are you, like, are you bothered? No.
Say, he was like...
Say you was with Mitch or whatever and that... Yeah.
..I give you a shout, would you be, like...?
No. No, you can't be at this stage.
If we was at either ends of the villa and we was calling you.
"Molly!" Who would you go to?
You ain't got to answer that. No, I would not be bothered at all.
So, so, I just want your opinion on how I'm gonna act next.
Erm, so, obviously, I'm gonna go and chat with Molly tonight
and say, "I want to know where your head is with us."
And it's more to know
whether the energy I'm putting in is worth it or not.
You have to let her do what she wants.
I feel like if there was an actual internal problem,
she'd tell you, bro. Like, if she hasn't really...
She wants her cake and eat it, bro, I think.
Quite frankly, bro, I get what you're saying,
but I'm not fucking with that. No, of course not.
I'm not gonna be a mug, bro. Take a breath, chill.
This next conversation, the conversation you're thinking,
if you come on too, like, if it's too strong,
it's a make-or-break conversation.
Yeah, well, bro, if that's how it is, that's how it is.
Are you family orientated?
Really family orientated. You are? Yeah.
OK, then. That's the biggest thing for me. Yeah.
I'm gonna come up to Doncaster, yeah,
give your mum a kiss and a cuddle,
shake your dad's hand and just be really respectful.
I'll just be like, "I really, really fancy your daughter."
You're 21? Yeah. Yeah.
When's your birthday? 26th August. The 26th?
26th August. You say "sixttth"?
Sixth. Sixth. What's wrong with that? Sixth.
"Sixth". I don't have a lisp!
That's what you're doing! Sixth.
You're going, "Sixttth." It's sixth. No, I'm not. 26th August!
THEY LAUGH
Oh, my God, I can't say my own birthday.
If you ever say that around me again, I'll cry.
If someone asks, I'll just go...
I'll just go... WHISPERS:26th August.
Right, well, I'll speak to you in a bit. You will.
Can you give me a little cuddle? Yeah.
And a kiss? Thank you.
It's really, like, flirty and fun.
And we're just, like, the same person
and we just get on really well. Just, yeah.
IAIN: Now Sammy's talking to his second girl.
At this rate, around ten o'clock, he'll be talking to his sixth.
Sixth. Sixth. Ha-ha! Numbers are funny!
How are you feeling? Where's your head at?
We had a good little date earlier, wasn't it?
We did. It was nice.
I was gonna say, what did you think about it?
No, it was really nice.
I felt like we've got a lot in common, you know?
Yeah, we do, we do.
It was easy chat as well, do you know what I mean?
It wasn't like... You're keeping your cards to your chest.
No, I'm not saying nothing. No, you can't in here.
Like I said, all the dates went well.
I'm proper picky, so... I'm so picky, like...
The littlest things, I'm just like, "Mm."
Do you reckon there's anyone else in here that you've got your eye on?
So, me and Ty have got a little flirty banter. Yeah.
But I think Ella's kind of clicked onto it.
But I've told her, like, I said, "I think he's fit."
I'm very honest, I'll tell you straight.
Yeah. You've got to be. That's what I mean, like...
You will notice that, like, everyone loves a gossip.
Just, yeah, just have your wits about you.
I will do. Little bombshell. I know.
Jess is definitely a bit of me,
because the personality is, like, it's there, it's bubbly, she's fun.
It'll be silly to limit myself to one girl.
IAIN STIRLING: I think Molly and Mitch are made for each other.
They've got so much in common. They love dogs, long walks,
and clearing their throats before tricky conversations.
There we are. CLEARS THROAT
HE CLEARS THROAT
I want to know where your head is with everything.
Yeah, I had a very emotional morning.
Why? Very emotional.
Because everyone kept saying to me, "You're closed off,"
like, "You're good," like, "You're closed off."
"You two are good," like, "You're wifed up." I'm not.
Yeah, I get that.
Like, you're gonna get to know people,
I'm gonna get to know people.
As good as we are, it doesn't mean that, like, you're closed off.
It doesn't at all.
So... Cos we can't do that.
OK, I know. Listen, I know what you're saying.
What upsets me is as much as...
Every day we get to know each other more.
Whoever comes in, my door's closing more.
Cos, Moll, regardless of who's coming in now
and I should get to know people,
I found someone, and I think our connection, as well,
and obviously, initially, I don't find anyone else attractive,
but you keep ticking boxes and boxes and boxes,
and we get on really well and stuff.
But I'm in the tunnel vision of the more we get to know each other,
the more I'm getting closed off.
All I'm saying is I adore how we're getting on so far.
But imagine if there were people here that you did want
to get to know.
You would. You would, though, you would.
I never... Even...
I spoke to Sammy, and I can't lie, I know we're only five days in,
together every night.
And what it is, we're intense in that we're holding hands,
cuddling, so it's...
Cos that's what we're both like.
Yeah. I'm not like that with anyone, though.
I'm like that with you because you tick boxes.
I'm not gonna do that with any other girl here.
Sammy came up to me, sat me down, and went,
"Mitch, Moll was full for it."
Yeah. And I've heard from everyone else you were closed off,
but you're nowhere near closed off.
No, I'm not closed off.
I don't want to give you the energy I think you deserve
when you're not gonna give me any reciprocation back.
I'd rather let you do your thing, and I think, if I got to the point
now where a girl come in, no one compares to you right now.
You don't know, though, Mitch.
Molly, I'm older than you, I'm wiser than you, I've been through more,
and I'm still gonna dote you.
I still think you're great, but I'm not fucking with it.
OK. OK?
I just think, let's just...
I don't want the cuddling, all that stuff, any more. Yep.
I want to sit back, and I want you to explore your options
and enjoy yourself,
and if I'm still there when you've done that, there we are.
If not, we're not.
OK. All right.
Cool.
# I'm trying my best, yeah To be brutally honest... #
Oh, my God!
Are you OK? Yeah, thanks.
What's wrong? Nothing.
You sure? Yeah.
# A foot on the brake Cos it's been making me carsick
# How could you blame me Growing up is chaotic... #
WHISPERS:Fuck off, everyone asking all the time.
SHE SIGHS
Oh, Molly, please don't do this.
I often make people happy and please other people,
and putting myself first, I find difficult.
So it just hit me.
I don't want you to cry out here like this, please.
I'm so... I just...
No, no, no. Yeah, let's not make a scene.
Breathe. Let's not make a scene.
Let me go get a tissue.
I'm still open to speaking to people,
but I still want to pursue things with Mitch, as well.
I'm just trying to get to know people.
You're strong, girl. Hold it together.
Never let them see you sweat.
WHISPERS: I'm not making them see me cry.
# Foot on the brake Cos it's making me carsick
# How could you blame me? #
It had emotion, it had drama, it had raw intensity.
Who could forget Mitch's dramatic conversation with Molly?
Eh, Jess. Jess. That's who.
I've had a chat with her. Who? Moll.
Yeah? So, I just sat down and I spoke to her.
Cos what's annoying me a bit is the fact that, obviously,
I've got tunnel vision, and the more I get to know her,
the more her door's closing, but the more...
She said we're great and that, but she still wanted to explore options.
So I said to her, that's fine, which it is,
but I'm not putting an effort in any more.
So you do your thing and come back to me. If I'm there, I'm there.
If I'm not, I'm not. Shit.
And I just... Jess, I'm old fashioned.
She was like, you know, "What if someone else comes in?"
Give a fuck. I like you now. I don't care about who comes in.
We're five days in, but I can see something happening with this,
and if you... No, I can as well.
You know what I mean, I can see something happening with us,
and if you can't, you can't. Then... Do you know how bad it is?
We had the best connection the first day. The best one.
Everything's going fine.
He said to me, "The best conversation,
"the best energy I got was off Molly out of everyone."
Mugs me off.
Jess, I don't give a fuck. If I like someone, I want to get to know them.
Fine. She doesn't deserve the energy I give her.
I'd rather switch off, which is what I'm doing now.
I don't know, I feel like, for me,
I think she's kind of like playing a bit of a game.
I think she's being a boy in this.
I think she does really like you, innit,
like me and the girls have all said it,
but then I feel like at the same time, she trying to play you.
She's trying to, like, be like, mm, do you know what I mean?
You've done absolutely nothing wrong.
You're a bad bitch, that was you in the white.
You're bad bitch, in that bikini. You were strutting your stuff.
You can see why he's upset, girl. No wonder.
Girl, you was a baddie today. Girl! He can't handle you.
I hate... I hate crying. Babe, it's OK.
Like, they're both just confused, and it's OK not to be OK.
Like, it's fine.
From the first thing, when Maya asked you, you said,
"Bitch, I'm happy." Yeah!
Of course. Of course.
You only know you truly like someone or truly feeling them if you...
You... Tests. Yeah.
Jess, between me and you, I like her, and I can see a future.
The first kiss, that meant fucking a lot to me. Are you a bit upset?
I'm not upset. I'm not upset. I know, I know, but still...
I'm not upset. It's annoying, but I'm not upset. I'm not angry.
I've got clarity. I know where I stand now. Never second best.
Never chasing a girl that's not looking my way.
Anyway, I'm good. Yes. Clarity.
Don't make a scene. Chill out. Just be yourself. Be yourself, innit?
Yeah, hundred percent.
Oh, that was a bit heavy. What this show needs is some railway humour.
Here's Whitney with Mehdi, who's decided to "lay it on the line".
I thank you.
OK, I'm gonna be honest with you, like... Go on.
I think you're cute, you know. Cute?
Why, do you want me to say pretty? Pretty?
Gorgeous. Stunning. OK.
I like stunning. THEY LAUGH
OK. No, you are. You're a beautiful girl.
Thank you. I like your personality. Sense of humour.
I mean, I need to know more, of course, before, you know...
Before you what?
Before, you know, opening up a little bit more myself. OK.
Since you arrived, I've just felt like, fuck, you know,
someone I can relate to. You made me feel comfortable.
You know, speaking with you... Yeah. Cracking on a joke.
That sounded very British, but you get me.
I almost... No, but you're getting with the lingo. We love that.
Cracking on a joke. Cracking on.
So, yeah, now I just wanted to tell you how I feel, like, so far.
No, I feel the same. You've surprised me.
What quality is important in a man for you?
What is something, like, that is mandatory?
You know how a lot of men are like, "I'm not emotional, not emotional"?
I'm like, no. A guy that can sit there
and be like, "Why do you feel like that?"
I feel like it's so masculine to be able to do that.
I used to think that having emotions and expressing it was, like, weak,
but the older I get, the more I'm like, do you know what?
It's actually strength.
It's very strong to be able to put your emotions across
in a normal way, like, in a tamed manner,
because not a lot of people can.
That is rare. I'm telling you too much. Go away now.
No, I'm not gonna go away. You can go away.
This is my fire pit. You can go. This is your fire pit.
This is your villa. Whatever. This is my island.
Have you not heard about that? Mm-mm.
Mehdi has definitely surprised me.
When I first came in, I just thought, like, meh.
But the more I speak to him, the more he opens up.
Like, he is literally my guy.
Mehdi's definitely one of my tops, like... He's giving.
I'm not gonna lie. He's giving.
OK, I admit it. I get what Molly sees in the Z-meister. He's cool.
He's good-looking.
He can reach the fancy chocolate biscuits
they hide on top of the kitchen cupboard.
Yeah, I just wanted a chill chat with someone
who actually chills me out and makes me feel good
and just relaxed. SHE SIGHS
No, but, what are you saying, though, like?
What am I saying? I want to stargaze.
Stargaze? Yeah.
Put the yoga mats down. Lie back. And then if you squint your eyes...
The light bulbs. They might give off stars.
SHE LAUGHS
No, I just wanted to come and speak to you
because there is no one else I want to speak to right now.
I just wanna literally have a nice, normal conversation
and just feel really myself and not worry,
like, don't worry about what I have to say, and... Yeah, you can talk...
You can... And you can take silence. Like, you can take...
You don't have to say something.
I want to put time into her,
and it might just be because she's a lot younger than me
or she scared, I don't know.
Where is she? By the way. She pulled Zach for a chat.
Did she? Yeah. Typical.
But, go... I know. It's not nice. It's obviously not nice.
I'm in the same position as you, do you get what I'm saying?
Yeah. I'm just a bit more chill.
From an outside perspective, tell me if I'm wrong. Yeah.
It's been five days of just everyone sort of thinking
you've been closed off, you know... Yeah. ..scenario.
Yeah. To having people figure out you did want to get to know people,
to them all fucking...
Everyone trying to pull you for a chat out of nowhere now. Yeah, yeah.
New guy talking to you as well. Yeah.
Then I saw that conversation. So, you seemed a bit upset. Yeah.
I was just like, look, I don't know if I want to meet today.
I'm glad you came and spoke to me, you know. Yeah.
I'm glad you felt like you could do this with me. Obviously you can.
Definitely. I knew that. That's why...
Even this, I'm happy talking about fuck all, man.
It's nice. This is more real for me than anything.
I don't have to feel forced. Absolutely.
Good. I'm glad.
There is can you be, fingers crossed,
other days to have other conversations. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Definitely.
Who knows?
Things were going so well between Jess and Sammy.
Sadly, nobody warned Jess about Sammy's toast phobia.
Look at the fear in his eyes. Yeah, he's gone.
Jess, babe. How was the date with you and him earlier?
Yeah, it was really nice. Was he what you were expecting?
Yeah. Well, he is your type.
He is literally your type. He's exactly what you described, like,
exactly what you want to come in. Yeah, he's that cheeky...
How weird. He's, like, bad but cheeky, but not too bad.
Was it like a flirty date? Yeah, it was quite flirty.
Right, you don't need everything. You know you is gorgeous.
I don't get it. Now, I don't know...
She know she's gorgeous but sometimes...
Just when you see everyone in couples,
when I'm usually the one that's fucking...
When I go out with my girls, I'm the one necking someone,
and they're like, "Eugh, come on, Jess. Come on."
And I'm like, "Later, I've got a man." You know what I mean?
No, I hear it.
Well, now you've got a man. No.
I'm playing it cool, babe. I'm playing my cards cool.
Yeah. Let him come to you.
I'm genuinely so happy, though, that someone's came in for you.
I could see you were a bit down. It was so weird, wasn't it?
I could see you were being happy for everyone else,
but you just wanted, like, to have your own little thing going on, too.
Clarification, yeah. Yeah.
You either remind me of someone, or I've met you sometime.
HE LAUGHS And I don't know how.
You've definitely been thinking about this all night.
I have been thinking about it, yeah.
I hope it's a good thing. Yeah.
No, it is a good thing cos I feel like I know you.
Imagine it's someone well ugly.
Because I feel like I know you already, but I don't, obviously.
I mean, we might have met in a past life,
when you was, like, a seagull, and I was, like, a chip.
You were coming at me. SHE LAUGHS
Aw. I don't think we've met. No.
I feel like I would've remembered you.
Aw, that's cute.
IAIN: I've always found reincarnation fascinating.
Who knows?
You might've been Joan of Arc, Napoleon Bonaparte,
a McCain's oven chip.
Anyway, off to bed, you lot.
Do you want me to come show you where you're sleeping tonight?
SHE LAUGHS
You're just trying to get into my room. I'm not.
# So when you pick your poison I just hope it's me
# I've been thinkin' too much
# Trippin' a lot drinkin' too much... #
You had two intense conversations from what I've seen. Zach and...
Yeah. He chills me out so much.
He's so easy to talk to. Yeah, he's very...
# Don't ever wanna let you down... #
All of a sudden, I have a number one.
WHITNEY LAUGHS
Mehdi, like, stop it. You're turning me on.
SHE LAUGHS
# If it's meant to be... #
Where's your head at, then, Mitch? Chilling.
Better headspace now, bro.
You got your clarity, innit? So you know where you stand.
The door's still open a bit and that,
but I want her to be happy and do her thing.
# I know we're stuck On different pages... #
How are you and Mitch? Are youse OK?
We haven't spoke since he kind of spoke to me earlier.
Mitch, you know we're all here for you, geez, yeah?
Obviously, after tonight, I can imagine your head's scrambled.
But just wake up tomorrow, fresh head, no new fade, know what I mean?
Do you know what?
If he does take a step back, it might make you want him more.
And I feel like at the moment, he's pushing you away
because he's so onto you.
# I don't want no drama Been through all the trauma
# See you then I wanna Yeah, yeah, yeah
# If we have another I might have you one up
# Sun down till the sun up Yeah, yeah, yeah... #
You're trying to spray everywhere on me.
You can breathe it in when you sleep.
I'm gonna sleep, like, in a coma now.
# That rum and coke Won't help you sleep
# And tequila shots Don't get you wasted no more... #
Good night. ALL:Good night.
# I know we're on different pages
# I know we're I know we're on different pages
# When you pick your poison, I just hope it's me. #
IAIN STIRLING: It's morning,
and poor old Mitch is waking up feeling blue.
Cheer up, Mitch, Molly won't dump you for Sammy.
She's far more likely to sack you off for Zachariah.
He's bloody gorgeous.
# Take me back to the times Of those never-ending nights... #
Morning. Morning, everyone.
Why do you have to snore?
Oh, I didn't think I snored. I'll sleep on the floor next time.
# It was all for being in love... #
How do you reckon Sammy slept? He slept chillin'.
Morning, people. ALL:Morning.
What you sayin'? What you sayin', bro?
You look like you've been at a three-day festival, mate.
LAUGHTER
# Trouble we would fight... #
How are you feeling about Mehdi? Are you attracted to him?
# Take you back to those times Of those never-ending nights
# It was all for being in love... #
What you think about the new boy?
He's definitely gonna go after what he wants.
# I got through the window Didn't make a sound
# Took me where the wind blows Magic that we found... #
You're having two? Give one to Ella, bro.
Look at that. He's learning.
Ella?! What?
Here you are. I'm gonna make a hot one.
Thanks. That'll do though, innit?
# Take back to the times I was sipping summer wine
# It was all for being in love. #
GRUNTS
I feel like last night was an interesting one.
I feel like it was, like, the first proper night
where everyone's, like, sort of, like, not serious,
but shit just kind of just got real, like. You know I'm saying, like?
As far as vibes go, and who's giving me off the best vibes,
I can't lie, it's Whit.
How you feeling after yesterday?
It was a lot yesterday, but d'you know what,
today is a new day, so I'm not gonna dwell on it.
Another day, another dollar.
I'm just gonna kinda see what happens,
and if he wants to talk to me, he can talk to me.
But I'm also gonna give him space cos he clearly needs that.
So, I'm just gonna hold back a bit.
Molly pulled me for a chat, surprisingly, yesterday.
Yeah, I see that.
She's obviously just more comfortable chatting to you
or she just wants to chat to you.
Like, I was saying, people are laying out cards, bro, you get me?
People are putting their cards on the table,
people are showing their hand.
I'm definitely lying if I said I didn't find her attractive.
And she's definitely made it openly clear she finds me attractive.
I feel like you're more attracted to Molly than Catherine.
I feel like you haven't really give Molly the chance properly
because of Mitch, but Mitch said he's taking a step back now,
so now's your time to shine, bro.
Do you think you guys will have a conversation today
or is it too fresh to have it today?
Bro, if she wants to talk, we can talk.
Yeah. So you're open for that? Yeah. 100%.
Bro, I'm way too old to be walking round with a face like thunder.
Yeah, exactly. If she wants to talk,
I'll give her the time of day, but...
SNIFFS
..I'm just saying, like, she hasn't got me as an option
any more right now. She knows I stand
and where my feelings are at. Yeah, yeah. 100%
And quite frankly, she can't fucking mug me off.
I completely know where you're coming from, bro. 100%.
What about you, Els? Things are sweet, girls.
Yeah. Love is sweet.
Did he does bring you a coffee? He did, yeah.
That's really thoughtful.
He what? Brought me a little iced coffee.
Aww, that's nice.
He's cute. I really feel like I'm starting to like him.
Aww! I feel like we're getting closer.
I can see, like, your walls breaking down.
I feel like I've had my guard up because, d'you know I mean?
I don't wanna get my heart broken.
But, I feel like we're getting closer and I can see him,
like, opening up to me.
Yeah. Nice.
How you getting on? I should be asking you.
How are you getting on? It's going all right, to be honest.
It's a nice little reception, so...
So, I would ask you who your top three is, but we know.
THEY LAUGH
It's quite obvious, innit?
SHE LAUGHS
You have got to be, like, well open-minded though, innit?
Oh, my gosh, yeah.
I was just sort of, like, d'you know what, like,
let's just give it a chance, innit?
That's what I'm saying, like, we got on...
Me and Molly, and to be fair, me and Jess,
just both gone really well, so...
Molly and Jess are very different. Yeah, I know.
Who do you reckon? I don't know.
Everyone is, like, every single person...
I just ranked it. You've got to rank it, innit?
All right. George. Mm.
Andre.
Mehdi. All right. Yeah. That's what I think.
That's interesting. Yeah.
Hey, George... No, shut up!
THEY LAUGH Don't you want to?
Sammy might lose his heart, but he'll never lose his sunglasses
thanks to Shado-chain.
Shado-chain, guaranteed to keep those shades
exactly where you left them so you can focus on your bants.
Shado-chain, available in no goods stores now.
Is anyone that, like, you really want to get to know? Yeah.
Obviously apart from myself. I want to get to know you more,
and I want to get to know Zach more as well. Yeah?
Like, you need to chat to different people
to see who you're getting the biggest... You do. You need it.
..like, little connection with, you know what I mean? Absolutely.
And I want to speak to Mitch more as well,
but obviously it's not happening now. No.
It's a weird one.
What's your plan? Mm.
Chat to every girl in here but you.
SHE LAUGHS Sounds good.
Enjoy. Let's take a quick one.
Look at my hair in it. That's better...
Can you kiss me on the cheek?
No. Give me a kiss on the cheek.
No, because everyone will take the piss out of me.
Do you want another one? You do want to kiss me on the cheek, though.
No, I don't. Yeah, you do.
Stop it, you. You're getting shit.
George is telling Whitney he won't rush things.
It's like my mum says, George. Slow and steady wins the race.
Although, mum also says cows can't walk downstairs,
so I'd take anything she says with a pinch of salt.
How you feeling?
I'm feeling good, to be honest. Like...
What your game plan?
Game plan isn't really game planning.
Em... SHE LAUGHS
I feel like, since day one in here,
some people have gone brr, doo-doo-doo-doo, really quick.
Hit a wall. Whereas I'm just that sort of like...
I'd rather not fuck anyone around and make sure what I'm doing
and what feeling is right for me. Yeah. You know what I mean?
The last thing I want to be is a dickhead.
So what are you like now? What's your vibe?
My vibe now is I don't, you know what I mean, I don't want problems.
I want peace. That's me in a nutshell. Right.
What you see is what you get, you know it I mean?
I don't feel like just what you see is what you get. What?
Because you're like a dark horse. Why am I a dark horse?
Because you've got, like, layers to you.
I'm like a lasagne. THEY LAUGH
I'm just dropping lasagne game, do you know what I mean?
Yeah, you're like a lasagne.
Yeah, something like that, different layers, innit?
Yeah, different layers.
So, you've got like the cheeky side then you've got, like,
the funny side, but then you've also got as well
actually more of a sensitive and a deeper side.
Are you smart? No. Well...
Thing is. If you said, "what's the route of square two?"
Then I would literally not have a clue, you know what I'm saying?
So, like, I'm smart in my own way. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, makes sense.
Like, I'm smart in a sense of, like, I know how to cross the road
when there's no cars coming. You know what I mean?
Different levels of smart.
Yeah. There are different levels of smart.
I can tell you've got 12 GCSEs, in't you?
I do. Fucking hell.
The energy that she gives isn't like any other energy
of the current girls in here, and I love that.
I'm actually a bit out of my comfort zone, but throughout now,
I'm happy with how things are going,
and we're just chatting, and it's all good.
Last night, Mehdi saw Andre flirting with Ruchee,
and Mehdi wants the facts.
Cos, all aboard, people, that man likes to keep it "rail".
Last night, I saw you were with Ruchee, being a little bit,
like, tactile. What is going on? Definitely, it's grown a connection.
Just taking it day by day of course.
But just, it's good when I can reciprocate that energy. So happy.
Because if you have a connection, that's so great.
But I'm also happy for her because... Absolutely.
..I'm rooting for her.
Since you guys started to flirt and stuff... Yeah.
..I feel like she blossomed.
Can't wait for more chats, more snuggles... more cuddles.
Mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm!
How's things going with you as well, bro, if you don't mind me asking?
Since Whitney arrived, yeah... Bombshell in.
Bombshell, bro, she really... she really can... I feel...
Like you were saying, she put the "bomb" in bombshell, bro.
Yeah. I'm ready to get to know her. Absolutely, bro.
And... you know, find a connection. Mm!
And I think she could be the one.
IAIN: Out of all the Islanders,
Mehdi's the one who loves to express his feelings.
Basically, he's the express service!
That's enough railway humour for tonight.
Mehds just literally says how he, says how he feels, and I love that.
TEXT ALERT Oh, shit.
Oh! I've got a text!
Oh! SHE SQUEALS
HE READS:
# Try not to freak out Freak out
# Gotta pull myself together... #
You all right? QUIETLY:Yeah. Sure? Yeah.
Shit just got real, bro.
Get your pump on, lads.
# All this anxiety Is freaking me out... #
How do you say, "Oh, fuck!" in French?
Putain de merde! "Prutain de med!"
IAIN: In tonight's re-coupling, the girls will be choosing.
Remember, girls, when you're about to say a boy's name,
give me emotion, give me drama, and above all,
give me a ridiculously dramatic... pause.
# Down, down, down Like I never met you... #
The bath! That's why you lot take ages, bro.
Are you feeling confident about tonight?
I feel like I'm definitely in a good place with Catherine.
This is, like, our first test.
It's not getting warm!
I think if Molly goes for me, great.
I think that'll just give reassurance... a bit.
I don't know what it's gonna do, bro.
I can't fucking lie.
# Think I'm hanging on By a thread... #
JESS:I feel like it's all down to you tonight.
SHE SIGHS No pressure.
Everyone's got to do what's best for them.
And then we'll become besties in the morning! Ha!
Who do you think Sammy's actually feeling more, Molly or Jess?
Who do you reckon he's more compatible with?
Jess. Do you reckon?
I don't think he's compatible with Molly.
# Wake up in the morning It's already night... #
Tonight is a big night, girls.
I think that it's deep that someone's actually gonna go.
I don't like it. It's gonna be sad.
Yeah, we'll definitely feel, whoever it is,
we'll feel their presence gone.
Yeah, I feel like it's bittersweet, I'm not gonna lie.
What are you saying, Sam? Give it away, bro.
Molly and Jess, probably.
Just crack on with both of them and see where their head's at.
Yeah, see where it's at, mate. Might need to play it safe, son.
# Down, down, down Like I never met you... #
I feel a bit sick for tonight, I'm not gonna lie.
Whoever goes today, just know you'll be missed.
Let's all just give it our best shot,
and whatever happens, happens.
Whatever happens, it's gonna be sad, innit?
Cos I feel like we get on well, innit?
Everyone, go out fighting, bro.
Honestly, everyone moving and grooving out there,
and that's it, boy. Love it.
ALL:Three, two, one! Come on, bro.
# Down, down, down Like I never met you
# Round, round, round But I can't forget you... #
Right, I'd actually like to raise a toast to everybody.
Everyone's made a massive impact in the villa.
You know, we're all fucking beautiful, do you know what I mean?
Like, we're all great people, and we all bring something to the villa,
so I wish you all the best. And bosh! Come on!
CHEERING Come on, guys!
# Down, down, down Like I never met you
# Round, round, round Another drink, I watch it go. #
IAIN: Mitch is desperate to know if he's a number one
because, hey, nobody wants to be a number two during a dumping.
I'm her number one. She's my number one.
We don't know what's round the corner, bro.
Like I said, bro, I said to everyone,
I think Molly does like you, bro.
She just wants to explore the whole experience,
but she still does like you.
I know. Obviously, the girls have got the power tonight.
If you move too mad with Molly, she'll back away,
do you know what I mean? She's that sort of girl.
# You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone? #
SINGSONG: We've got to make a decision, and I feel sick.
Like, it actually could go so many ways.
Bro, it's not even been a whole week yet, bro.
Obviously, she might flip the script and not pick me today.
It's minimal, but I've picked her the first time round,
so that's, like, me showing her I'm interested. Hm.
And this is the first time she's picking,
so if she picks me again, now I know it's...
Yeah, that's, like, a major step, innit?
# Cry me a river, yeah... #
Every single guy is attractive in their own way.
Actually, I don't know what you're gonna do.
# Cry me a river, boy, hey... #
WHISPERS: I don't know where her head's at, I really don't know.
I don't think she's playing it safe,
I think her head's all over the place.
If Molly picks someone else and you save me, that is done. Yeah.
And if we get to re-couple again, it comes down to you and Moll,
every day of the week, I pick you. Yeah, of course.
You've been in a friendship couple from the start,
I want you to be with a guy that you actually wanna be with...
Yeah. And I feel comfortable with. ..to start your actual journey.
Do you know what I mean?
# Cry me a river
# Cry me, cry me. #
TEXT ALERT, SHE GASPS
Oh! SHE SCREAMS
I got a text! HE SHOUTS
READS:
# There's a fire inside It's burning in my blood, oh
# Once you light up the match It cannot be undone, oh
# Right here, right now Is where it all begins
# It's where it all begins. #
IAIN STIRLING: It's time for the first recoupling of the series.
# Everybody here Is out of sight... #
The girls are picking,
so it's down to them to choose which boy they couple up with.
# They keep things loose They keep 'em tight. #
First to pick is Ella, who's currently coupled up with Tyrique.
# Dancing in the moonlight... #
I'd like to couple up with this boy because he's genuinely my type.
He's actually really thoughtful and really sweet.
# Dancing in the moonlight... #
He's really surprised me. I feel like, at first, I judged him,
but he's actually showing me that he's got a big heart,
and he's got a lot of layers to him.
And I'm excited to see
what else there is that I don't know about him yet.
So, the boy I would like to couple up with is...
Tyrique.
APPLAUSE
# Dancing in the moonlight
# Everybody's feeling Warm and bright. #
Done well. Thanks.
IAIN STIRLING: Next to go is Ruchee.
The first day, she coupled up with Mehdi.
I'd like to couple up with this boy
because I feel like we're on the same kind of vibe.
I've gotten to know him in the past few days, and it's been really nice.
He has surprised me, cos I felt like he was a bit young for me, but...
LAUGHTER
I feel like he's really mature for his age.
There is just more that I want to get to know,
and I'm excited for our journey together.
So the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Andre.
# We've got the time To take the world
# And make it Better than it ever was. #
IAIN STIRLING: The next girl to choose is Catherine.
She was coupled up with Andre before she was stolen by Zach.
I'd like to couple up with this boy
because I feel that we got along really well.
I like the direction that things are going.
He's funny, he's nice, he's not bad-looking, as well.
# And I felt like you... #
He makes me feel giddy. SHE LAUGHS
So the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Zach.
APPLAUSE # I wanna be with you... #
IAIN: It's Molly's turn to choose. She was coupled up with Mitch,
but she's been exploring her options with Sammy and Zach.
# There's nowhere left to hide And now we must decide... #
I would like to couple up with this boy
because we do have a strong connection
and, although it has been a very challenging 24 hours for me,
I'm gonna go with what I think is right in this moment.
# We're not turning back... #
This has been a difficult decision because we haven't had much time...
..but I'm gonna what feels right now and go with him.
So, the boy I would like to couple up with is...
# Hold your breath We're not turning back... #
Mitch.
APPLAUSE
INDISTINCT # Hold your breath
# Hold your breath... #
# Hold your breath We're not turning back. #
HE SIGHS
# At the end of the day... #
IAIN: Now it's Jess's turn.
She's coupled up with George and, up until now,
she's only had friendships with the boys.
So, I'd like to couple up with this boy
because I feel like in the last 24 hours,
I felt a couple of butterflies in my tummy, you know?
I haven't had that feeling since the whole week.
I'm really attracted to this person,
and to be fair, I'd like to know more about him.
I'd like to explore something which haven't seemed to explore
in a romantic level with any of the other boys in here.
# With words that stay... #
If it's meant to be, it'll be. SHE LAUGHS
# The sacrifice is worth The price that we pay... #
So the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Sammy. THEY CLAP
# Into the fire, oh
# Into the fire, fire, fire
# Into the flames. #
IAIN: Whitney is the last to choose.
She's currently single, and she has to pick between Mehdi and George.
# I've been picking myself Off of the floor... #
I would like to couple up with this boy
because he is easy on the eyes, and he brings a vibe to the villa.
# I've been trying hard To survive... #
He's got heart, you know?
And before, I was thinking small, but I've decided to think big.
He's a good person.
The boy I would like to couple up with is...
# This world is cruel You love and you lose
# Until your heart stops... #
..Mehdi.
# All my life, All my life, all my life
# Yeah, I've been told
# That's how it, that's how it goes Yeah
# You've gotta fight on your own
# Lose all control But that's how it goes
# Ooh That's how it goes
# Ooh, yeah. #
Bring it in, guys.
Come on, bro. Come on, bro.
# Should've seen it coming Rolling down your eyes
# I hope you're all right, Though... #
It is hard, but we all knew that, like, someone had to go.
Such an energy ball.
George brought life to the villa.
Bro, I love you. I love you, bro.
I love you so much, man.
We started as a couple together,
so I'll always have that little soft spot for him.
I will miss his little banter and his dad jokes.
He just lit up every room,
and I really hope that he does find someone
cos he genuinely does deserve it.
# I tried my best But you let me down
# Loving you ruins me But I'll stick around... #
A shit decision was gonna have to be made regardless.
One of us was gonna go anyway, you know what I mean?
It's one of them situations where it was unfortunately me.
Do you know what, though, on a serious note?
I'll actually never forget any of you.
# Cos after all we've been through I've lost a friend... #
Oi, I get a free suitcase and a nice water bottle, though.
Whoo!
Come on, brother.
# So I tried my best But you let me down
# Loving you ruins me... #
I love you, George.
C'est la vie, yeah? See you later.
Take care, yeah? See you later. THEY CLAP
Leaving the villa on my own tonight
obviously isn't how I wanted my experience to end.
To be honest with you, I just wanted to continue dropping loose game.
I'm sure there'll be someone out there for me,
but it just wasn't in the villa.
# You used to call every night We got home
# Now I'm getting used To just being alone
# Just being alone. #
