The new Love Island season is off to a flying start.
We've got hot new Islanders, there's been kissing,
and a sexy new boy just rocked up.
So much has happened.
If only there was some way to get you all caught up.
NARRATOR: How about a "previously", Soph?
All right, if you insist.
Previously on Love Island Australia...
NARRATOR: Nice.
Five sexy single girls...
I want to find myself a golden retriever,
but he looks like a Rottweiler.
..met five sexy single boys.
I actually can't!
This year, I'm giving you the chance to try before you buy.
Ooh!
They pashed...
Oh, my God, just watching them, that made me horny.
..and then dashed to couple up.
Xanthe and Kane, Eilisha and Dylan, Hannah and Niko,
Mimi and Zane, Em and Indigo,
you are the first five couples.
They got to know each other.
I was just happy you picked me, to be honest.Really? OK.
And while some weren't to each other's taste...
Are you vegan? That was a lot. Yeah.
Would you cook meat? No.
"Would you cook me meat?"
No. It's not the 1950s. I'm not a fucking housewife.
Others couldn't get enough.
Oh, are you gonna collapse? Maybe by the end of tonight, I will.
I did not expect to hit it off that quickly at all.
Like, this is a shock to me.
I'm so glad we met.
Until...
..hot new bomb, Taylor... SCREAMING
Oh, my gosh, he is stunning.
I want a bit of him.
..turned up the heat.
♪ Everybody know That I'm a problem. ♪
I'm definitely gonna put up a fight.
I'm definitely not gonna let this go. There's no chance.
No chance.
Tonight...
"Tonight, Taylor will steal one of your girls,
"and someone's going home." What?
You're physically more my type.
It's a tug of war for Taylor.
It's so hot. Can we just be naked?Whoa!
It's like, who do you want to share a bed with?
There's definitely sexual tension there.
Yeah, I really like him.
How would you feel if I picked you? Would you be happy?I'd be happy.
But whose girl...
I think all the boys are worried, to be honest.
It's a dog eat dog world,
and he's just gonna kick me if it means he's gonna get her.
..will Taylor steal?
The girl I'd like to couple up with is...
THEME MUSIC
ALL:We're ready for the bomb!
I'm Taylor. I know what I want.
And if I see something I like, I'm gonna go for it.
GIRLS GASP, SCREAM
You're hot.
He's a good looking bloke.
He's definitely a big bomb to drop on day one.
"You may now ask any two girls of your choice for a kiss."
This way? OK.
Should we get up and see...? Do you wanna see the villa?
Yeah, I'm pretty keen. Yeah. Let's go.
Sweet. See ya, girls.
Like the confidence. Let's do it.
What do we reckon?
Good start.
I think you...
I mean, good start. He's a good looking bloke.
He seems like a confident... Yeah, he seems like a nice guy.
Come on, girls, you can walk on your own.
'I'm not excited at all to have him here.'
I think all the girls are very keen on the new bomb.
So I think all us guys have got to get grafting.
He's literally like... my type on paper.
I've seen the way you look at him, girl, what do you mean?
I know, but then I'm like, but you like him!
He's obviously very confident in himself.And comfortable.
And comfortable with who he is. And that's hot.
Like, that's hot energy.
So, how are you boys feeling? OVERLAPPING RESPONSES
Are you vibing the girls?
Obviously, we're all coupled up, so you're the only single fella.
That's OK. I don't mind. I don't mind.
I'm like, hey... I'm currently coupled up with Em.
Um... I'm with Xanthe.
Yep. I'm Eilisha.
Yep. And, um...
Sorry, bro. Nah, I'm just...
Taylor definitely is gonna be dangerous in the villa.
We need to get our chatting boots on cos it's go time.
We've no choice now, hey.
Guys, I thought that this would make the boys, like, on it,
but they're not on it. It's day one, though, like.
Should I just go pull him? I want to pull your man.
Absolutely, go.
But he's standing out there with Kane.
OK, you should pull Zane. He's with Kane. Is that bad?
I would feel so awkward.
Hurry up. Fuck it.
Ooh, she's ballsy.
Ooh!
Taylor, do you want to go for a chat?
OK. Awkward. Taylor, you wanna go for a chat?
Of course.OK, cool. Let's do it.
Zane, do you want to go for a chat? Yeah, let's go.
Since you guys aren't pulling anybody, the girls are on it.
Oh, OK. You show me.
Yeah, Mimi pulled me for a chat. A little bit of confidence.
She sort of took control. Definitely a good power move.
I was impressed.
Well, tell me about yourself. Like, what are you after?
Um, I mean, like, I'm 28.
You know, I've lived my life, like, I know what I like,
I know what I don't like.
In my previous relationship, I was ready to settle down.
What are you like in love? Are you romantic?
I would say I'm a bit of a... I'm a big softie, for sure.OK.
If I love you, I love you, I'll move mountains for you.
You're already saying it. Exactly.All good.
But do you know what I mean? Like, that's the way I...
That's the sort of... I want a team, a partnership.Yeah.
Our chat was quite deep.
Like, we hit the D&Ms, like, real quick, which I love.
I love a D&M.
I love it cos it means they feel comfortable enough to open up to me.
It's funny cos everyone looks at me and probably
goes, "Here's this fuckboy..."
I thought that. I literally thought that, yeah.
Someone said to me, you're like a Rottweiler
or a Doberman, but you've got golden retriever energy.
And I'm like, I'll take that. Eh?Like, personality.
That is exactly what I said I wanted from Love Island.
There you go. That is really weird.
Well, there you go.
That's literally my description of what I'm after in a man.
My type is that.
The Love Island gods are listening,
and they're answering.
NARRATOR: The Love Island gods are listening.
Except when Kane prayed for Xanthe to never chat with Zane.
They were wearing their prayer-cancelling headphones.
So... Bummer.
How are you feeling?
I feel like it's so early and I feel like all day,
like, we barely could talk to anyone.
Like, it was just really full on.
Yeah, but, like, you were my top two.
Was I?Yeah. The second you walked down,
I was like, I love his jorts.
That was the first thing that I thought,
like, oh, he's got style.
Like, he knows how to dress. Yeah. That's good, though.
And like, I just was not gonna go to your heart
cos I was like, I know, I know all the girls are gonna go there.
And I'm like, no. I was flattered.
Yeah. I feel like every season, there's one guy
and all the girls go to his heart.
You were that guy.
Yeah, you're definitely my top... top two, top three.
Top two, top three? Yeah. Got to keep it...
Yeah, yeah! SHE CHUCKLES
Um, what do you usually do when you're, like, at home?
I'm a big reader.
What do you read? Romance.
Oh, like... Yeah, like sappy romance.
Smut.
Everyone has their book.
Everyone has their thing. Mine's just motivation.
You're reading motivation. I'm reading sex.
Like, it's, we're polar opposites. Yeah.Yeah.
Look over there.
She looks happy talking to him.
Look at the body language. It's comfortable.
Yeah, like, they look comfortable around each other.
So, you're looking for love in here?
Well, aren't we all?
Like, if someone said no, I'd be like, what are you doing here?
You know? Do you, like, fall pretty quick?
Yeah. The second I like someone, I'm all in and, like,
I am quite, like, full on. I fall too quick, too hard.
Yeah. Same, same.
I'm in hot water because I was, like, so happy with Kane.
I was like, yep, my head isn't gonna turn.
Sorry, lads, I'm being a bit of a pig. I'm just...
But now that I've spoken to Zane,
I don't know what to think.
Kane and Zane, and it doesn't help
that their names sound the exact same.
I'm scared I'm gonna call them the wrong one.
Oh, Xanthe, Kane and/or Zane are totally different.
I mean, Kane has a moustache and Zane has a...
Um, yeah, they're the same.
SHE GIGGLES
Sharing a post-kiss getting-to-know-you session
is Eilisha, from Brisbane, and Taylor, who's from, as he says,
South-East Brisbane, or as it's otherwise known, Brisbane.
How was the kiss? Did you like it? Or was that really nerve-wracking?
It was nice. It was good.
We're gonna have to redo that kiss, but...
Ooh. I mean, it was very...
Yeah, it was very quick, but... It was.
I felt a bit awkward cos I could just hear everyone listening to us.
You feel like you're in high school and everyone's like, "Kiss, kiss!"
It's so awkward. I hate PDA as well.
Are you not affectionate? No, I'm very affectionate.
But in, like... Oh, public!
..in a club or something, I don't hook up with girls.
Wait, stop. Let's say if we were dating, if I really wanted
to kiss you... If you're my girlfriend
and want to kiss me, of course.
You wanna hold my hand, you want to be with me, that's fine.
Yeah. I'm very proud of who I'm with.
Like, if you're my girl, you're my girl.
The chat with Taylor was just very real.
He seems just like a genuine... I can't even say of the word.
He just seems like a very, very down-to-earth person.
Very real.
And I think he would be a really good boyfriend, too.
I feel like you're, like, really nice.
You're cool. Nice guy vibe?
No, not even that. Well, you're a cool girl.
Thank you. No, but I just feel like... like boyfriend material.
Husband material, babe. Oh!
Niko, you don't have to worry about Taylor
unless Hannah vaguely answers "Yeah" to all of your questions.
How'd you feel when the, um, Taylor walked in?
Yeah. Good?
Yeah, good. Yeah?
New people. Yeah.
Is he your type?
Yeah. Mm.
Yeah, he is. Yeah.
Like, I would like to get to know him.
Um, obviously, it's day one. Of course, yeah.
Were you OK when I kissed him?
Like, what am I gonna do?
I was a bit jealous. But, you know, what do I do?
I was like, oh, can't look.
Look away!Look away! Look away.
And you gave him the eyes. I'm like, ah.
I don't even know I do eyes. Yeah. You have those eyes.
You looked at him. I was like...
Oh, my gosh. When Niko said he was jealous, it was so cute!
I was like, this man really likes me.
Everyone says you're a really good kisser.
Who said that? The girls.
I manifested that last spin, I had to get you.
Are you just saying that cos you knew I manifested this?
Or are you a manifester? No. I'm a massive manifester.
Shut up.I manifested this whole experience.
No, shut up, I did too. You have no idea.Shut up!
You have no idea. Wait.
It was the most sporadic, spontaneous thing ever.
I manifested it, too, I manifested walking through that door.
I manifested this whole thing and this whole like...
Nah, you're playing me. I'm not playing you at all.
I'm not playing you.
For the last year, I've manifested like...
Are we that Spider-Man meme?
Like, am I dreaming?
What's happening? Like, I swear he is the male version of me.
Should we go up? Wanna go up?
Yeah. Let's do it.
I just want to get a kiss without the spin the bottle.
Just come here.
♪ I wasn't dreaming When you came to me. ♪
I'm definitely happy right now.
I see all the couples, and I see how we are,
and I think we're just, like, all the way at the top

NARRATOR: Gorgeous girls get ready for bed
by brushing their hair and teeth.
While our beefy blokes get ready by cleansing and toning,
conditioning their beards,
and taking off their pearl necklaces.
Are your eyes different colours? Sort of.
That one's, like, brown.
Your eyes are really nice. They're like bluey green.
Yeah. I like that.
You know, I have a rose here, too.
I saw that.
And I was like, I've seen it. Yeah.
All right. Anyways, I'll be back.
Cool chats, cool chats.
Do you sleepwalk?
I haven't slept next to a man in a very long time.
But Zane makes me feel safe.
He seems like he'd be really nice to cuddle.
Who was your best kiss today?
You're just saying that.
Thanks.
I'm very excited to share a bed tonight with Dylan.
I think he's cool.
And, yeah, maybe have a little bit of a cuddle.
Maybe not. I don't know,
I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.
I'm so ready to sleep.
I think there will be cuddles tonight with Kane.
Yeah, the bedroom is freezing as well, so that will help.
Wait, what do you do for work again?
Um, I work on the wharf.
I also do some, like, modelling and content stuff.
Uh, definitely was the wall between Hannah and Taylor there.
Obviously, we're having a three-way chat,
but you can tell Taylor was putting in a little bit
of the grind on Hannah as well.
We should save this for tomorrow. I'm too tired.
OK. Good chats, though.
You too, Niko, you're not left out, bro.
I'm gonna chat with you as well.

GIRLS EXCLAIM
I can't believe we're still here.
Boys? Hey, hey, hey.
So, tell me, did anyone get a little kiss last night
or anything, or what? I didn't have a kiss.
Had a cuddle, but that was about it.
I rolled over and went to bed.
No-one had a little bit of a little...?
No, just a little spoon.
I think I even got more action than you boys.
LAUGHTER
Who cuddled who last night?
Did anyone have a snuggle?
Oh, guys... Did you cuddle?
He gives you that, like, safe feeling,
you know, like when someone, like, holds you, and then,
yeah, I think in the middle of the night, I grabbed, held his hand!
Cos I couldn't sleep.
Aw! Niko and I had a cuddle.
We also did hand holding as well.
What about you?
I don't feel like we have that vibe of...
It's not been, like, so flirty and touchy and stuff like that.
Like friendship vibes with him? 100%.
Indigo is literally such a sweetheart,
but it's, like, so platonic,
it's, like, not even funny.
I want a coffee.
Bondi, did you say? I'm in Bondi, yeah.
Yeah. Beautiful.
Yeah!
Well, you got a great look. You're very... I like your look.
I like your style.Thank you. I like these.
Pyjamas. I got them from the op shop,
and this is a little vintage tee.
That's sick. That's a sick shirt.
I feel like we're both kind of similar in terms of,
like, aesthetics.
I definitely like the vibes that he's putting out.
I love a boy in a baby tee, in a crop top.All I wear is crops.
No!I go to the gym and I just got a crop top on.
I love a guy in a crop top.
I feel like it says something about your, like...
Feminine energy. You're in your feminine energy
and you don't give a fuck about what other people think,
and that's hot. The confidence is hot.
I think he's cool and I would definitely like
to get to know him more.
NARRATOR: Oh, he wears cropped T-shirts!
Book the chapel.
Now, from talking crop to talking crap, cap, talking cap.
Cap, cap, cap. Chuck it on backwards.
That's my thing. Really?
I don't reckon I look good with... Yeah.
Nah, backwards hat is like my one weak spot.
Oh, he wears backwards caps!
Book the chapel.
Yeah.How do you feel about, like, yesterday and everything?
No, yesterday was good.
Like, I was glad I was in a bed with you.
I feel comfortable in a bed with you.
Like, I wanted a cuddle.
I was like, if he doesn't cuddle me, I will be cut.
Like, I'll actually be like, oh.
I was like, oh, I wasn't sure if you wanted to cuddle.
Then I was like, oh, I'll just go see if she does.
Fuck it. Yeah. No, I did.
No, I love a cuddle.
It was funny because when I wasn't cuddling, like,
I couldn't, like, sleep. I know.
And then when I was cuddling, I actually...You sleep way better.
It was nice to have someone to cuddle up to last night.
I guess having that little bed talks was also nice.
No, I rolled over in the middle of the night and you smelled so good.
I did? Yeah.
I was like, oh! I wanted to sleep on that side,
but I was like, no, I can't.
So I just turned back, but I was like, he smells nice.
One thing, one thing I always make sure is that I smell good.
Yeah! SHE LAUGHS
Welcome to the... Welcome to Hannah's...

Yeah, I am a wimp. OK.
No. Like, one or two. That's it.
No. Trust me.
Are you getting 'em? Yes, babe.
It doesn't even hurt. Exactly, it's a magic touch.
You're unbelievable. Thank you.
Day two and they're already plucking. Unbelievable.
Hannah brought me in, she plucked my eyebrows a bit, cleaned them up.
Didn't need to, I already got good eyebrows, but anyway, uh,
made her feel special.
Fuck, I'm looking like 11 out of 10 now.

Me?Mm. You reckon?
Has he said something?
It's too soon for me to leave. Like, I think in the whole villa,

It is the best. I've put all the grind in and for me to go,

It wouldn't make any sense for me.
Are you nervous? I'm nervous as right now.
Why? I'm shitting it.
Don't be shitting it. Have you seen yourself?
So, where's your head at?
Well, I mean, Eilisha's, to be fair, the only girl that's had a chat
with him properly, so it would make sense for him to pick her.
I feel like he's kind of like vibing Em, to be honest.
Like, cos I reckon she's vibing him cos he's got tattoos and everything.
Bit of a rude shock, to be honest with you.
I mean, I didn't think it would come around this quickly.
Yeah. I feel a bit shit about it, to be honest.

NARRATOR: When starting out in a relationship,
the most critical element

I don't even care.
GRUNTING
This is, like, the best part of the day.
Look at him!
Wow. Like, these guys.
I don't know what was in the air while they slept,
but they all woke up looking like 12 out of 10.
You boys are looking mad.
Niko. Yo.
Come here.
Take a seat.
How do you feel about the text?
I'm fuckin' shittin' it. Are you?
Because we think he's gonna pick Hannah.
He's definitely got his eyes on her, 100%.
Yep.
You got to make her tell him, "No, don't choose me."
Otherwise, well, then you're fucked. Otherwise, he is.
Yeah. Then you're fucked because you don't want you to go home.
Yeah. Exactly right.
I want Hannah pretty much to tell Taylor, "Me and Niko are, like,
"we're on good terms. Like, we're good.
"We're very strong together."
Once I hear those words is when I'll actually
feel secure about it.
I just want to see where your head's at and, like,
and if Taylor pulled you aside, what you would say to him.
Because obviously, like, you know, I would know
if a girl came in right now, what I would say to them.
So I want to see what you would... What would you say to them?
I would say, like, obviously, we're kicking off hard.
Yeah.
I want to know what you'd think and what you would say,
you know, cos he will come and pull you up and...
Yeah. Well...I want you to be straight up with me.
Well, I don't know, babe. I haven't even spoken to him.
Yeah.Like, I need to see if we get along
because he's very different.
Like, he's a bit alternative. Yeah, yeah.
And I'm a princess, like, I'm completely different.
So I need to see if we even mesh because it could be
not even a question. Yeah.
Niko, has that put your mind at ease?
No? Excellent.
Where do you want to go? Maybe down there?Yeah.
Let's go down to where we started.
Oh, to the fire pit? Yeah.
OK.
Taylor, he's, like, so not my normal type.
And he has a lot of muscles.
Back in the hot seat. Back in the hot seat.
Maybe I'll go to therapy and get over my fear of muscles.
Maybe I can go to, like, Muscles Anonymous.
So, tell me a bit about you. What do you look for in a partner?
Um, somebody funny. Somebody funny as fuck.
I want to... Tick, I'm fucking hilarious.
Amazing. No, but I always say not funnier than me

Yeah.Like, I want, yeah, I just want to have fun.
That sounds good. I mean, like, I'm someone...
No, no, no... You're like, great...
But, like, what are your thoughts
about the future, in terms of, like, do you want to settle down?
Do you want kids? Do you see that in your future?
I don't want kids. Mm?
I, uh... I know you said you did.
Yeah. But, like, do you think down the track,
that idea would change? Are you, like, so certain, like, no?
Maybe when I'm like 100, like an old granny.
You won't be able to have kids.
Think about the technology, though.
Yeah, true. True, true.
I'm not saying she needs to or she will,
but people can change and, like,
I guess I'm not, like, we're not gonna
have kids and get married now, so who knows what can happen?

NARRATOR: Oh, sorry. We're back on. Ahem.
Before he steals a girl, Taylor will speed date three of them.
Girls love wharfies.
Have fun, darling.
Ports give them serious big dock energy.
Speed date vibes, guys.
Xanthe, do you want to come down here?
Yeah. Get on down, girl.
GIRLS CHEER Wait, love you!
Love you guys. You look so cute!
Don't worry, Kane, and/or Zane. It'll be fine.
Hi. How you going?
I'm good. How are you? Thank you for picking me.Of course.
Very well.
He's 28...He's definitely a bombshell, for sure.
So, what do you... What do you look for in a partner?
I love funny guys.
And that's one thing that... Funny guys?
Yeah, that was one thing I noticed about you,
you have good banter. Yeah.
You need to have banter back and forth.
I want them to, like, make fun of me a little bit, you know?
Not too much, but just enough.
That fine line. Yeah, there's a very fine line.
'He's such a lovely guy. He's so nice.'
He's gorgeous, like, dare I say, like, I think
he's probably the best looking guy in the villa at the moment.
So, how old were you again?
21. 21.
I'm 2003.
Wow. There's an "and", 2000 and 3.
Yeah. That's crazy.
You just want there to be, like, no laughs.
XANTHE LAUGHS
But, like, you're still, like, Gen Z, I feel like.
Probably, I'm still, I'm still up with the trends.
Yeah! Well, you look trendy.
I feel like you've got it sorted. Yeah.
You look very nice. Very chill. We're just chilling.
I know, it's so hot. Like, can we just be naked?
That's a different show. Whoa!
That's like by the third or fourth date.
They were probably the longest speed dates
I reckon I've ever seen.
They all, they all went on for way too long.
Thank you for having a chat.
Thank you for picking me.
I've got just that, like, weird feeling in my gut.
I haven't had this feeling in long time, you know.
Neither have I. I don't get this feeling!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
I think all the boys are worried, to be honest.
Little Miss Mimi, come on down.
♪ Mimi, do you love me? ♪
Fucking fumin'.
THEY LAUGH
Don't worry, Zane, and/or Kane.
You'll be fine.
First of all, I think you're... I think you're gorgeous.
I love your style. I saw your outfit last night - cool.
The bikini is cool. Thank you.
Then, like, I just felt like
last night was very easy to talk to you.
Yeah, easy flow, right? Yeah, right.
Um, so I was like, you know, I'm interested to get to know her
a little bit more and chat to her a little bit more about it.
This sounds like a deep conversation.
Shh. LAUGHTER
There was no laughs in the conversation,
so that was a good thing.
But also, I was like, is this a nice, like...
is this a serious and deep conversation?
I feel like you have quite a, like, you kind of brought
like a nice energy to the villa in terms of like
confidence and, like, you kind of, I don't know...
Took charge a little bit, maybe. Yeah. Took charge, I guess.
Like, no-one's really taking charge. Me, personally, I like an alpha man.
Yeah. Um, but, like...
Well, she's looking away. That's good.Is it?
I don't know, I'm trying to make you feel better.
And I definitely, like, am a confident woman, but I...
don't want to be with my man. Do you get me?
Like, I don't want to have to feel...Be with a boy.
I was a little bit stressed, so I was hoping it didn't go that well.
OVERLAPPING CHATTER
Lovely talking to you.
Yeah, of course. Thank you.
Thanks for joining me.
I think my stress is coming from, obviously,
don't want to be the first to go home,
but when I seen her, I was like, I want that one.
And, like, I don't want to kind of let her go, I guess.
Hannah Montana, get on down here, girl.
Hannah Montana.
GIRLS SAY BYE, CHEERS
Do you guys want to know a fun fact? ALL:Yeah.
My ringtone is the Hannah Montana theme song.
Please!
NARRATOR: Oh, my God, jinx!
When she looks up, just flex your pecs.
Just do a titty dance.
"Remember these ditties in bed?"
I was super jealous when, uh, Taylor took Hannah on the date.
Hawk eyes. I'm like hawk eyes up there.
HANNAH:So, how'd you go last night, in the bed by yourself?
I was a bit lonely.
It'd be nice to be coupled up
and have those little moments in bed. Bit of pillow talk.
Do you like cuddles? Love a cuddle.
Yeah. I'm a professional big spoon.
Really? I'm a little spoon. Well, there you go.
Oh, she's a little spoon!
Book the chapel.
I felt Niko's eyes burning into my skull.
Oh, Niko would have been looking at Taylor like,
"Stay away from my girl."
So, tell me a bit more about yourself.
You do, you said you do eyelashes from home?
Yeah, so I do lashes. And I do nursing.
Like, study nursing. Yeah.
That's something you want to do?
Yeah. I want to get into cosmetics, like injectables.
Oh, cool. You'll be able to make me keep young.Yeah.
Bit of Brotox. I'll do your Scrotox.
Scrotox? Yeah. You know that's a thing?
What?Yeah. They, like, inject balls with Botox.
Why?To keep them, like, less wrinkly.
I don't know, do the math.
Jesus. What? Just a real taut...
Real plump.I don't think that would look good.
Who knows? You never know. Is that like a...?
I've never seen a Scrotox scrotum that I know of.
Well, if you need a lab rat, I'm your guy.
I didn't think we'd get along so well.
And when I was sitting up close to Taylor,
I was like...
oh, like, man's really hot.
Like, he's...
Yeah, he's definitely an attractive man.
I think he fancies her the most out of everyone.
You reckon?Yeah.I guess it all depends on what she says
to him now as well.
Obviously, I pulled you cos not only
have I not had the chance to speak to you, but obviously,
there's an attraction there. Oh.
Yeah, I would really like to get to know you as well.
She's talking very quiet MUTTERS
Hey? Chatting quiet.
Yeah. Suss.
So, let's say I wasn't a bombshell.Yeah.
And I was one of the boys here, including all the guys here,
and you had to choose a guy, who would you go to?
You're physically more my type.
Are you gonna keep that a secret?
Why does it have to be a secret?
I'm not gonna go and repeat it...
I don't want to be mean to him. It's not mean.

I mean, Hannah, of course, is...

Um, there seems to be quite a connection between us.
A lot of sexual chemistry I'm feeling.
You know, I feel like, I don't know if it's just how she is.
She just, like, stares into your soul.
Um... Melts me a little bit.

I'm in the biggest pickle possible.
If there was a big pickle jar, I'd be in it.
Like in my own little jar of thoughts and pickles.
Like, it's too much.
Like, I don't know what to do.
The more I looked at him, the more I was like,
fuck, he's really hot. He is really attractive.
Oh, I don't know what to do.
I'm in the biggest pickle.
NARRATOR: Taylor's swift dates fill the otherwise blank space
in the middle of this episode. Our anti-hero's choice
will make it a cruel summer for the boy dumped tonight.
How long will these Swifty puns last?
Who knows? Could be a fortnight. Ba-dum-bum, thank you.
But, yeah. How you guys going?
Yeah, good. Obviously, it's a bit nerve-wracking.
Oh? Yeah.
It was good. I just feel like...
I feel like we have different interests and, like,
I don't really have anything in common with him.
I really hope he doesn't pick me.
I just feel like he gives me, like, a friend vibe.
Couldn't be more happy. Was pretty stoked.
Join the party. Come join.
Hey! It's just a party over here.
Yeah!
What's happening? What's happening?
Who else are you guys gonna chat to? Anyone?
Yeah.
Mimi, do you want to go for chat? Yeah.
If it's all right.Yeah, yeah. I'll talk to her after.Oh.
I definitely want to get to know Mimi. First of all,
yeah, she is stunning.
Um, but her personality, vibe, she just has it all, really.
The first day, obviously, if I was to name my first two -
you, and Eilisha. I haven't got to talk to you yet.
Mm-hm.
But... yeah. So I need to see what you're about.
OK.
Well, I'll... Tell me more.
I'll let you in on some tea.
You were actually my first pick.
My type is definitely like you.
If I was to go just off looks, it would be you. 100%.
I didn't know that. I didn't get those vibes at all.
But I went with my gut. It was telling me not to go for you.
Why?Cos you just gave me, like, fuckboy energy.
Why? You said that?Yeah. I do give it off.
You do. Yeah. I own that.
I was shocked cos I was like...
But I didn't get any hints or didn't get any ideas.
What about...
So, yeah. He's so sweet.
He's definitely like,
what I feel like I thought I should go for.
OK.
What about you, Zane?
I think Mimi's, like, the number one pick.
Yeah.Um, so I'd obviously like to keep talking to her.
Uh-huh.But it's kind of hard to, like,
know where she's at, I guess. Yeah. For sure.
Even though she's so straightforward.
Yeah.
It's hard to be, like, so open and honest, though,
cos it's such early days.
I am worried that she will kind of move and try to experience
Dylan or anyone else before getting to know who I really am,
but I don't want to open up too quick because then
it can come off too strong and people get scared.
See, like, all of this is new to me again
cos I haven't been in the dating scene for so long.
No, I don't date.I've never been in the dating scene.
True.
So, like, I never took girls on dates
because I see no point in it.
SHE LAUGHS
Not even an ice cream and a walk? Nah.
I can't have someone that, like, is the same as me.
But they need to have something cos otherwise I'm bored.
Yeah. The thing with me is I have such a wall.
Mm-hm. I have trust issues.
I have daddy issues, all of that.
OK. I have such a wall, so...
That got deep real quick. Sorry.
I'm just gonna say I got daddy issues.
Yeah.
Once that wall lifts and I'm like, OK, I can be comfortable
around this person... Yeah.
..the real me comes out. I'm a big softie.
He kind of surprised me a bit.
And I do feel like there's a good connection.
SHE GIGGLES
And I think we had, like, really natural flow
with our conversation.
I definitely want to get to know him more.
The pool is loaded with inflatable plastic birds
and resident flamingo, Pinky, is there, too.
Now, with no aptitude for breaststroke,
Indigo tries freestyle.
RAPS: We're in a villa in Spain
We're going insane The girls are pretty
The grass is green
We're getting a pump In the outdoor gym
Look out, guys I'm gonna go for a swim
I don't know, Niko's got the roller
He's looking like A fucking big boulder
With that chest He could do some things
Man's got rizz
Bro, don't rip them jeans.
CHEERING
Yeah! Pinky, make some noise if you thought that was dope.
Taylor swiftly grabs Eilisha, who wanted a love story.
But now it's a delicate situation.
Our Romeo takes her somewhere they can be alone,
surrounded by a lavender haze.
OK, it isn't lavender, but whatever, Taylor Swift puns, boom!
I definitely haven't made my decision,
but I wanted to chat to you and let you know.
No, for sure. Because I didn't want you thinking
I wasn't into you.No, no. Well, I look like shit right now, but, um...
Fuck off.
"I just look so shit right now."
You know what? You're actually funny, though.
Thanks. Actually?
"You're actually not too bad, you know?"
I feel like we're very similar,
um, Taylor and I, because we're very big personalities.
Everything's flowing, and it just seems really natural.
We have a lot in common.
And he seems really, just like a sweet guy.
Thing that I really like about you, too, is that you want to be a dad,
because that is 110% something I want.
So about 27, 30 latest for me,
maybe 26, depending on how in love I am with the person.
I think it depends on how much I'm in love.
Yeah, I really like him.
I feel like I like him a little bit more than Dylan.
I still definitely like Dylan, but I feel like
Dylan's not giving me any effort.
I think, like I said, I'm big on, like...
sort of energy and just seeing, like, what flows and stuff.
But also, I got to think about like the reason.
Sweaty. And it's like, who do you want to share a bed with?
Well, yeah.
Right? I did feel left out last night.
I know.But I did love having the bed to myself.
Cuddling my pillow.
I'm a great cuddler, too.
There's definitely more sexual tension there, I feel.
Um... Yeah. I really like him.
Do you miss tickles? Love back tickles.
It gets me to sleep. Same. Right?
Can you give me a little quick tickle? Let me feel it.
A tickle? I just want to feel.
I just do like this one. Oh, actually, it's not bad.
Or, you know, or on the arm. Like that?
Yeah.Oh, no, you're actually good, though!
No, cos you know what? Yes!He's a good tickler.
The energy's there, the banter's there.
She's very touchy, very flirty.
I feel like we need to redo the kiss, though.
Obviously not... Like, maybe some other time.
'I feel like that just made it very clear
'that she's definitely interested in me.'
Definitely, it's on my mind. So...

NARRATOR: It's the big night.
Taylor will steal one girl.
His decision will result in one boy being dumped.
It's a terrifying situation.
Thank goodness they're all hot.
It's a super hard decision tonight. Um...
I feel like I've just been thrown into the fire
since the minute I've come here.
I don't even know what I'm doin'.
If it makes you feel better. I thought I knew.
And now I'm sort of like, I don't know.
Do you have, like, a top two?
Yeah. Who do you reckon?
I do, but I don't want to say anything just yet. But...
It's like my head is thinking one thing,
but my eyes are thinking, I don't know,
I'm like, I don't know.
Like, it's just... Fuck.
I didn't think it was gonna be like this.
How are you guys feeling?
Does everyone kind of know...? I'm stressed.
This will be our first dumping.
It just all rides on kind of who Taylor picks, I guess.
So... it is very nerve-wracking for a lot of us.

SOPHIE: Good evening, Islanders.
Hello.
How was your first night?
It was good. It was good.
Yeah? It was awesome.
And, Taylor... Yeah.
..you made a swift entrance into the villa.
Oh, that was a good one. Oh, did you get it?
Thanks, everyone. LAUGHTER
That was good.
LAUGHTER AND CHEERING
There's plenty more where that comes from.
How are you finding it, Taylor? It's nice to meet you.
Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too. Likewise.
No, it's been great. These are all amazing people I've met so far.
They've made me feel really welcome and really enjoying my time here.
Good. Yeah.
Well, guys, right now, there's five couples

Now, without giving anything away,
has this been an easy decision for you?
Uh, definitely not. Probably the opposite.
All the girls here are beautiful in their own way.
It's been really nice to get to know them.
It's been hard to sort of siphon through
and narrow it down to the pick.
Remember, Taylor, you came here for love,
and you should choose the girl you believe,
at this stage, you have the best chance of developing
a relationship with.
TENSE MUSIC
OK, Taylor, the time has come.
Which girl would you like to couple up with?
And why?
I would like to couple up with this girl
because the moment I come in here,
you know, I definitely noticed her.
She's, uh, gorgeous.
I'm really enjoying getting to know her,
and there's a lot of great banter there.
And definitely some, uh, chemistry that I can feel already.
So just wanting to dive in and explore it a little bit more.
So, the girl I'd like to couple up with is...
What?! We're ending it there, in the middle of a fire pit?
This is an outrage!
But you know what this means.
