We’re only three episodes in and the villa is already spiraling. From Kendall’s tragic braids to Adrienne’s redemption arc, this one had everything: make-outs, duels, and a shocking elimination. Let’s get into it.
Kendall & Garbi’s Speakeasy Session 🍸
Kendall and Garbi sneak off to the speakeasy. Garbi calls him her “biggest supporter” and they end up making out in the photo booth. But girl… Kendall is Mr. Tooted & Booted himself. He’s messy, and those braids are unforgivable. 🚩
Love Triangles Multiplying 🔺
Josh & Andrea reconcile and admit they’re happy to be back together. Lucinda & Tyriq chat at the dock. Lucinda’s proud she won her duel, while Tyriq low-key admits he still likes Adrienne but isn’t impressed with her gameplay. Adrienne & Tyriq talk it out on the couch. She worries about losing her shot with him. They kiss anyway, only for Tyriq to later kiss KayKay before bed. Sir, pick a struggle. By lights out, Kendall & Garbi are still making out, doubling down on this messy coupling.
R&R Twist with Familiar Faces 😮
Charlie and Adrienne each get texts for some rest & relaxation—with new arrivals. Enter Justine (Season 2 winner + Season 1 Games winner) and Johnny. Heavy hitters! Charlie links up with Justine and immediately plays the “I’m vulnerable” card. He admits he wants both money and love. Justine says she’s chasing money this time. Adrienne and Johnny know each other already. They rehash their past and share a kiss. She ranks it a 10 out of 10—better than Isiah or Tyriq. Whew.
Villa Tension Building 🔥
Solene admits there’s no spark with Mert, but she’s low-key flirting with Nicola’s man. Lucinda tells Mert she needs “princess treatment.” Mert delivers—with a kiss.
Duel Time: Johnny & Adrienne vs. Kendall & Garbi + Charlie & Justine vs. Nicola & Isiah ⚔️
The challenge: maneuver a ring across an obstacle without touching the pipe. Stressful! Charlie & Justine vs. Nicola & Isiah → Nicola & Isiah pull out the win. Charlie’s stuck with his heartbreak necklace. Johnny & Adrienne vs. Kendall & Garbi → Adrienne redeems herself, taking Kendall and Garbi down. Garbi looked crushed, and honestly, so were we. Adrienne hands the necklace to Kendall.
Elimination Shock 💔
Arianna makes the villa choose: Kendall or Charlie. Islanders line up behind who they want to save. Charlie ends up with the fewest votes. Charlie is dumped from the island.
Final Sip 🍹
Kendall’s braids remain the biggest villain. Tyriq’s double-dipping between Adrienne and KayKay is messy, but classic Love Island chaos. Adrienne scored a big win with Johnny—chemistry, gameplay, and revenge all in one. Justine reminded everyone why she’s an OG, even if the money is her main goal. And Charlie? From heartbreaker to heartbreak. Byeeee. 👋
We’re only three episodes deep and the alliances, betrayals, and duels are giving peak mess. Can’t wait to see who gets du
