EP11 Pt2 When Life Gives You Dates, Part I

SUMMARY: Tonight, there will be a re-coupling in which the girls will choose which boy they want to couple up with. Things are hotting up as Love Island continues. As the Islanders settle into villa life and find love in the Mediterranean sun, there's no let-up in the drama. As the day progresses, a text arrives, announcing that there will be individual dates for the Islanders.

Iain Stirling:

Welcome back to Love Island!

The Islanders had a big night last night...

Which ended in tears when Rocco and Henrik were dumped...

But the thing about our Islanders is...

Even after a big night, they're back on it the next morning.

I don't know how they manage. I can't do anything after a big night

Until I've had a full English, one of those giant mugs of tea

and an hour of Sunday morning cooking shows.

But never mind about me.

After the announcement of a girl's choice recoupling this evening...

The girls began to work out who they wanted to go for...

And to help them decide, our Islanders will be going out on hot dates!

Why can't they toss a coin like the rest of us?

Pool

But first, the Islanders have decided to take a well-earned break by the pool. Except for Bobby, who's doing his best to get his hands on Lucas's ball. All the girls are tanning themselves on the grass, looking gorgeous. You find a spot beside them. It's quiet on the lawn, and all you can hear are crickets and some shouts from the pool.

Bobby to Lucas: "It's just too big. I can't get a good grip on it!" And Lucas replied, "It's so smooth; it gets all slippery when it's wet."

There's the noise of plastic slapping against water. You shield your eyes and watch the boys messing about with the giant beach ball.

Priya rolls over lazily and adjusts her bikini so she can tan her back. "Did you ever dream your life would turn out like this? It's pretty special, isn't it? Obviously, it's not all flowers and sunshine in here, but times like this make it so good. We've got good weather, the sound of people having fun, and all we've got to do later is choose which hot guy sleeps in our bed tonight. We're living the dream!"

Grace admitted that she didn't think she'd make it past day three, and she thought for sure she'd be the first girl heading back to her normal life. "We're so lucky to be here. I don't want to jinx it by saying so, but I'm thankful every time I wake up, and I've got another day in the Villa."

Hope stated that she knew she deserved good things and was always waiting for something like this to happen to her.

Priya voiced her internal monologue by remarking aloud that it's barely been a week, but it feels like everything has changed for her already. "I don't know if I want to go back to my old job or if I want to go out there and follow my dreams."

Lottie was the next to speak, and she stated that she was just going to see what happens. "You never know when some incredible opportunity might come up."
