What a week it's been! Love Island's master manipulator Lucinda finally got the boot... while the boys are already losing their heads in Casa Amor.
I’m totally off Team Hugo this week. I definitely felt Chloe and Hugo would be the couple to get dumped from the villa based on them not having a romantic connection, but the nation finally came together and got Lucinda out of there, even though it meant seeing the back of cool, calm and collected Aaron!
Aaron definitely had the character to go far in the ocean that is Love Island but I think Lucinda was somewhat of a concrete block tied to his ankle and ended up dragging the poor guy down with her.
Hugo's grand gesture was clearly to try and make Chloe see that he’s not just a nice guy and that he’s here to save her from the villainous Toby who made her feel so small as he left her standing there on the decking!
I must point out that when Toby picked her, he left Chloe standing next to Georgia, who Hugo left standing on her own after making his grand speech. So I feel like there was a slight bit of hypocrisy there.
That being said Hugo and Toby’s relationship was left in tatters, the bro code had been broken and there was a divide within the villa, until the producers kindly asked them to have a couple chats just to get the villa into a better dynamic.
I totally lost respect for Hugo during this saga, as he was pretending to be a mate but had some very cruel intentions all the while.
I remember having to check some people on my season for breaking bro code because sometimes people do it just to get a bit of a storyline going. I’m not saying Toby was right in his actions but you can't blindside someone who you claim to be your “family”.
Casa Amor finally opened its doors and the boys let go of all inhibitions in a game of Truth or Dare with six new ladies.
On my season when we went into Casa Amor we were very standoffish with the new girls for the first day and they couldn’t get us to talk to any of the girls in there. In the end the producers came in and asked us to be a bit more welcoming and introduced the timed challenge game against the other villa, leading to my infamous shocked look to the camera after I kissed Shannon.
But this year, the boys were sucking toes AGAIN, three-way kissing, saying things they really shouldn’t have been saying - and all on the first night.
Now the evidence of this wild night will 100% be delivered to the girls in some shape or form and the repercussions of these actions will be detrimental to some of the couples.
I was seriously surprised by Liam, who I thought was super smitten with Millie. But his admission that he likes to flirt is worrying.
Mate, there’s an innocent flirt and then there’s three-way kisses and making the effort to stand up to kiss a girl.
Millie has already voiced her concerns to Faye about her trust issues and I don’t think Liam’s actions are going to do him any favours. I was just counting the potential screenshots that the girls will be seeing because there were so many wild moments during that game I was left gobsmacked.
Teddy and Faye were my favourite couple but I think when Faye finds out what happened, her walls will go straight back up again and Teddy will have some serious making up to do if she gives him the chance, but I don’t think she will be that forgiving.
Toby was as per usual the ring leader of trouble, he’s definitely not looking for love he’s looking to get with as many girls as he possibly can.
He’s playing the field and I think that’s to his detriment. I don’t see him making it to the final.
He knows he’s not a fan favourite based off of his two weeks in the bottom three and only making it to this week because his partner Abigail was immune, but I think the clock is ticking on Toby.
This past week fan favourite Kaz finally got her man and the love was blossoming perfectly, until he entered Casa Amor and lost his head.
Tyler what have you done? We were rooting for you but now I think the attention he’s receiving in the Casa might actually turn his head.
He was in the 'top three' of a couple of the girls and that could lead to some dilemmas as the rest of this week plays out.
All of the boys tried to be good, smelling the souvenirs their girls packed for them and talking about sleeping on day beds, but literally no sleeping outside can soften the blow of what the girls are about to feel. The Villa is going to be a very crazy place when the boys gets back.
I would talk about the new boys entering the villa but they literally didn’t do much. I think potentially Dale might be able to woo Abigail. He’s the only one that seemed to have any personality from what was shown, but that can all change as the week rolls on.
Dr Marcel’s Predictions for Casa Amor
Toby is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT bringing a girl back, he's just that guy.
Liam will come back alone, he’ll be honest about his actions but I can gauge how Millie will react.
Faye and Teddy could be over, I think Teddy’s head could get turned.
Hugo is going to bring a girl home, realise there’s no spark, take her to the seat at the end of the garden and call it off.
I think a few of the new boys like Kaz and I hope she gives them a bit of time because once she finds out about Tyler’s actions she’s gonna be ready to show him the door.
Inside knowledge
I’m not going to say who but there was definitely a subtle nudge on my season that someone should bring a girl home to save themselves from being dumped.
What do you guys think, who was the most badly behaved boy in Casa Amor so far?
