All right, islanders, lets get into it.
Its Casa Amor week, and I can no longer root for any of these couples in good conscience.
I can only root for individual Islanders now, and thats right, none of them are boys.
Not all men but definitely all men in this Villa.
I award Luca no points for sleeping on the couch and Jacques can cry me a river.
In any case, this season is goinghard.
Unlike Dami, Jacques, and Andrew, I can own up to my mistakes.
Damis sniffing Indiyahs clothes.
Andrew sprays a sweater with his cologne.
Jacques is scrolling through selfies of him and Paige on his phone.
(Main Villa).
However, as you may have guessed, the girls arenotthe ones who need reminding of their connections!
Deji has his eye on Indiyah.
Danica is buzzed, blessed, never stressed the following day and has already zeroed in on Josh.
Billy makes Paige a breakfast of dry toast and then flirts with Tasha on the couch.
I dont trust anyone who smiles that much, and neither should Tasha.
At M.V., the boys are excited for Christmas morning.
They bound downstairs to find six newbies in bikinis and spike heels waiting for them in the kitchen.
Its funny to hear what men say to themselves to justify making out with other people.
Andrew has decided Tasha is already basically cheating on him, so fuck it.
Davide says Ekin-Su had her test with Jay, so now its his turn.
Right now, by comparison, Jay is looking pretty good.
As the only real single boy on the Island, he can happily chat up Chyna guilt-free.
They decide kissing is one thing, but cuddling is a bridge too far, somehow.
Im feeling like this because Im thinking about Paiges feelings.
Im not thinking about mine, says Jacques.
Im so scared of hurting that girl that Im holding myself back.
Thats right, hon.
Dont let basic human empathy get in the way of a good lads holiday.
But Dami is delighted to welcome another brother in douchebaggery.
Youre either fully open, or youre not, he keeps saying, which is a collection of words.
Oh, angel, I could name a few.
Luckily I dont have to because Casa boy Samuel is dispensing some real talk.
When you have feelings for someone, sometimes your common sense goes.
And thats happened between you two, he says.
Hes disrespected you in ways that he shouldnt have done.
And thats because hes that throw in of guy.
And its as if Paige has suddenly been zapped out of a trance.
Momentarily, she is completely clear-eyed about whats going on in her relationship.
You said it, sister suffragette.
Danica counsels them to explore their connections here.
Maybe, she suggests, they could bring new boys back just to compare up close.
Thats basically where they are.
Damis making out with Summer, and Jacques is making out with Cheyanne.
But like, its in the spirit of discovery.
Finally, it is time for Stick or Twist.
I have to admit I actually gasped when I was wrong.
Laura Whitmore makes her slo-mo entrance and lays out the deal to the Islanders before her.
The boys will make their choice, then see if their girl enters with a new partner or alone.
Jay picks Chyna, and Danica returns with Josh.
Davide picks Ekin-Su, who returns alone, and they giggle at each other.
Luca and Gemma, yeah yeah yeah.
Dami chooses Summer and somehow cant stop himself from quipping, Summer isnt over.
Then, in a surprise to us both, Indiyah returns with Deji.
It is what it is, she says.
Til it isnt, Dami says.
And when Tasha returns with Billy, my guy has the nerve to start muttering.
Good luck to you, mate.
Finally, Jacques, feeling like a very good boy, picks Paige, who comes back alone.
Cheyanne says she did.
Tell us why, presses Laura.
Who was it that you had a connection with?
Cheyanne says Jacques and the Islanders all gasp while Paiges mouth twists.
Tell us what happened, Laura commands.
Cheyanne says, Said he cant trust himself.
So, all the best.
Everyone winces, but no one more so than Luca.
So now we have 18 Islanders, which is too many Islanders.
Laura departs, and then everyone storms off.
Tasha mostly seems confused.
Even worse is Jacquess explanation to Paige.
You cant wriggle out so easily this time, hon.
He says, Listen, at the end of the day, were both single.
And I think you forget that sometimes.
If you might believe it, things only devolve further the following day.
Paige says, Im done, honeybun, and I hope and pray that she means it.
Jacques is legitimately sobbing, telling Dami that Paige deserves better than him anyway.
Stay strong, baby girl.
Dami learns Indiyah never kissed Deji and feels guilty (maybe).
Ekin-Su and Davide work out because that is their main hobby.
Billy tries coming onto Gemma, who verbally swats him away, Pipe down, remember your place.
He just grins like a maniac and asks if shes jealous that hes with Tasha.
Lucas spidey sense (crippling self-doubt) starts to tingle.
Elsewhere in this emotional hellscape of a dream house, Tasha and Andrew are hugging it out.
Coco, realizing shes been used, cant stop crying.
And it is in this state that she eventually discloses the tit-sucking incident.
The nip-slip, if you will.
So now, Andrew has to fess up to Tasha himself.
Shes basically gone and told the guys that I sucked her tit or whatever, he mumbles.
Like, licked her tit or whatever.
Tashas like, why didnt you tell me this before?
Something, something, I forgot about it til now.
In the words of Gemma, You dont remember someones nipple in your face?
All I know is with this many Islanders, theres bound to be a culling soon.
Other Bits and Observations
How are there enough beds for everyone right now?
Especially with so many breakups?
I dont think we needed that extended bit about Jacques boner, did we?
Calling it now, Josh and Danica are not long for this Villa.
Jay on Chyna day one, For me, Chyna really stands out to the other girls.
Casa Amor wins the race, so they get a party, which means literally nothing on this show.
Just a reminder that these are not normal people were watching.
