She was a tragic victim of circumstance as she failed to secure a genuine reciprocated connection with anyone in the villa. Aside from her failed efforts at trying to get the word 'Bev' off the ground, Lucie provided her fair share of TV gold during her time in theLove Islandvilla. He was goofy, loveable and a reliable source of entertainment. No affront to Jack, the pen salesperson I celebrate as a maximum geezer, but Dani had her wings safely pulled around everybody else in the villa at all times. She had no idea what she wanted but knew exactly what she wanted. He cried because he found true friends after a whole life of feeling like he didn't fit in. She was an outspoken feminist, even when it hurt her chances. Plus, and I know it was not always idyllic, but I really liked her and Montana's cerebral friendship. When it comes to the most popular series that Love Island has had, it's surprisingly season one out of the six that have aired on ITV. On Love Island, tall and pretty Olivia was a hot mess.

The Lovely Young Lady Identifier was the architect of his own demise during the series, but it was positively delicious to watch. She was unapologetically herself from start to finish, rightfully bodying Tom for his stupidity, forging a legitimate friendship with the girlfriend of the object of her affections after being rejected, pursuing the least desirable guy in the villa, she did it all.

Rebecca is fucking vile during and post show. He turned into the center of entertainment in a series chalk-full of it, while consistently keeping his good, geeky character front-and-center. For all of Curtis's riveting drama, hurtful words, jazz-hands-y elocution, and calculating moves in search of post-show fame, this was his best moment of all. He said he was like a polar bear but didn't know why. It makes Montana both definitions of the word "galvanizing.". (Before Chaldish) was heartwarming to see as they supported each other through the complexities of island life, but then Danny came along and ruined everything. During her time on the show, she coupled up with then 22-year-old Adam Collard but was sadly booted off the show. When Tom blew it again, Maura tore him another new one to keep in the sexist suitcase he rolled out of the villa.

You love to see it. Shaughna is a model of the sad fact that alpha women, especially those who are not blonde, can have a tough time onLove Island. These parents of a stuffed elephant named Ellie Belly were solidly together for most of their time in the villa, with a Casa Amor reunion more romantic than anything in Pretty Woman or The Notebook. Buoyanthumor, boyish adventurousness, and semi-self-awareness radiate off of him like Essex sunshine. She is the one Curtis was coupled up with for a month you know, his "half-girlfriend." Bev in peace, Lucie. I want to be her friend.

(Yes, we all make mistakes, but, Anna, come on.) We forgot about his errors of the past, almost feeling sorry for the guy as he had to watch Anna progress with Ovie. (I am required to mention the moment Chris and Kem shaved their initials into the other's pubic hair, becauseyep.). Dani coupled up with Jack on day one and they fell madly, beautifully in love. In the end, the sparky couple of Chloe and Toby, two fully-formed tweens who thoroughly go together, came in second place, which I don't think any of us saw coming six weeks prior.

Kady was a little shit stirrer. If he'd been upfront, I would have no issue though maybe don't come on Love Island but Adam wasn't honest about his trajectory, and to a larger degree than a lack of transparency. Of! On paper, Camilla was too "good" for Love Island. When Megan's Casa Amor man, a concerningly controlling guy named Alex, went home, Megan fully went back to Wes. When couple's leave the villa, many people wait for the announcement that they've broken up as they struggle to adjust to life outside the show.
