Love Island fans spot epic game-playing as Islanders accused of tactical dumping

Love Island viewers have accused the contestants of game-playing after they decided to dump Dale Mehmet and Abigail Rawlings.

Monday night's episode saw the group make a tough decision as they had to get rid of one boy and one girl after Laura Whitmore made a shock appearance.

The safe islanders chose Dale and Abigail to go home, but some fans think it could have been a tactical decision.

The six contestants with the least votes were confirmed as Jake, Tyler, Dale, Abigail, Mary, and Kaz during Sunday night's episode.

Mary had grown close to Dale in recent days, despite him being in a couple with Abigail, so by sending Dale away, Mary will never get the chance to see if she could have won the show with the Scottish barber.

Abigail had failed to click with any of the boys since arriving in the villa, and the group may have wanted to eliminate any chance of her forming a bond with any new bombshells.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer posted: "I mean if kaz and Tyler were so together and compatible then why didn’t they go home together? Like if their so secure why not go home happy together? Game play me thinks #LoveIsland."

Another wrote: "The islanders should not be able to pick who to send home, the person with the least votes from us as the public goes, is what it is ! #LoveIsland the game is the game! So unfair."

And a third accused ITV and said: "You rigged the game #LoveIsland," and a fourth penned: "This game is rigged Abeg #loveisland."

Elsewhere during Monday's episode, two new bombshells entered the villa - Priya and Aaron.

The pair got to choose two people to ask on a date, while the rest of the group had to sit on the terrace and watch.

Priya chose Teddy and Matthew, while Aaron decided to enjoy a drink with Chloe and Mary.

All four dates seemed to go well, but Teddy later admitted that his heart wasn't in it as he was still thinking about Faye.

Faye dumped Teddy on Sunday following an angry tirade about his antics in Casa Amor.

However, it seems she's realised that she reacted without thinking and in a preview for Tuesday night's episode, she seems keen to speak to her former beau.

Love Island airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV2.
