This recap does not cover Episode 54 Unseen Bits.
Still, this is about the time when a bit of Villa fatigue starts to set in.
He heckles, Tasha who!
and Thats my boy!
(Luca, says Paige, who looks a bit shocked.)
And then theres a clip titled Good Bill Hunting.
This is just Billy flirting with Gemma, which Luca thinks makesherlook bad.
Mate, when I tell you Im fuckin fumin, he says to no one in particular.
I cant be with someone like that.
Two problems with this.
Two: This is manipulative, psycho logic.
Whats she supposed to do, Luca?
Sit at home in sweatpants and never talk to another man again?
First, he claims to be upset that Gemma entertained Billys flirting.
He eventually mumbles an apology and is forgiven, I guess.
Three guesses who they pick.
Tasha tells the beach hut cam, Im getting bored of these opinions.
Tasha pies Luca because apparently you arent a true friend.
Dami pies Tasha because You usually get away with a lot of stuff.
It is just a game.
You guys, at a certain point, its no longer just a game.
This isnt banter; this is, Paige agrees, quite personal.
Andrew, whos been quietly raging at Dami and Luca for this for days, has had it.
Id been waiting for Andrew to stick up for Tasha, and I guess he eventually does.
After the pies, Luca finally comes over to apologize and Andrew doesnt even look at him.
Andrew only asks Tasha if shes okay to talk to Luca.
(I award you one kudo.)
So, Dami and Luca apologize individually to Andrew and Tasha, and everyone makes up.
It was a big week for quote-unquote banter and line-crossing in the Villa, actually.
Did Dami take things too far with Summer in Casa?
Or when he screamed at her across the yard that she was fake?
Or when he then open-mouth kissed her during Snog, Marry, Kill?
Ultimately, after some performative pie-ing and dithering and Ill deal with you later, Indiyah decides no.
I guess these are true statements.
It is just a game, after all.
You know who has actual banter?
Snog, Marry, Pie is basically their whole relationship, Ekin observes.
Davide playfully tells her, I wish I could marry you and pie you at the same time.
Ekins trying to goad him into saying I love you in Italian.
Even when they argue, its playful.
The weirdest take on banter is easily from Billy, a true chaotic evil.
He fully ignores Danica.
Im not a dick, but Ive come across like a dick, Billy wines.
You are a little bit, though, says Deji.
Speaking of Billy and his dick, its time to talk about Danica.
Of course, she has no idea how to flirt, date, or read a mans signals!
Shes been with the same guy since puberty.
(Im choosing to assume her then-boyfriend was at least age-appropriate.)
But this week, Danica has become one of my very favorite Islanders.
As the drama between the couples starts to wind down, Danica shows real personal growth.
She has finally,finally, started to recognize when shes not been treated right.
And more importantly, she knows now that she deserves better.
Lets all cheers to strong, independent women who dont take shit, she says.
And Danica is off!
The rest of the convo goes something like this:
Danica: Your behavior has been really fucking disgusting.
It makes you look like a pig.
Billy: Stop swearing, or I wont talk to you!
Danica: Why do I have to stop swearing?
Youre not my mum, youre not my dad, youre not my boyfriend.
Gemma,whispering from two feet away: Theres no way out.
Shes got him by the balls.
Theres no way out.
Danica: Anyone would be lucky to have me.
I am worth more than that.
Im so proud of my baby girl.
As dusk settles on the Vibe Club, Laura Whitmore and her disco sleeves enter.
The party is officially over.
She commands the Islanders to line up by the pool because the public have been voting!
I feel like I can already physically sense Tasha tense up.
But luckily for her, the publics bottom two girls are Summer and Danica.
Somehow Deji has survived a public dumping despite getting a total of 30 seconds of screen time.
Anyway, the Islanders have to vote on who to save.
They choose Dami and Danica.
Back at the Villa, removing their makeup, Ekin-Su says thoughtfully, Summer is gone.
She is such a secret nerd, and Im obsessed.
The next day all of our couples are planning their futures together.
Andrew and Tasha talk about getting an apartment together.
Davide and Ekin-Su plot out their first trip to Italy.
Gemma and Luca discuss lock screen photos.
So naturally, its the perfect time to introduce four new bombshells.
But Reece, Jamie, Nathalia, and Lacey are giving it their all.
Reece goes for Ekin-Su and is promptly shut down, which thrills Davide.
Nathalia goes for Davide, which somehow leads to a pancake-off between Ekin and Nathalia.
Everyones tired by now.
Its time for a recoupling!
it’s possible for you to probably predict how this goes.
Until next time, Islanders.
Ekin-Su is still acting as if 27 is middle-aged.
Dami gets bent out of shape that Indiyah accidentally calls him Deji twice but come on.
They are extremely similar names.
I am obsessed with Davide straightening Ekins hair for her.
Danica marries Davide in the game because he is the least problematic.
