Episode 32 - Script
Picking who to dump from the island (not that your choice matters whatsoever)
NARRATOR: I haven’t been this excited by a plan since the time I last upgraded my phone.
NARRATOR: I had important calls to make…
NARRATOR: Alright, I didn’t. I had cat videos to watch.
NARRATOR: But {0} has an important call to make now, so let’s get back to it!
Nicolas checks no one is in earshot, and leans towards you with a mischievous grin.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Here’s the cheeky plan I’ve been cooking up.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: It’s a game changer and it’s gonna be loads of fun.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’m listening.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: Well, we need to look fully compatible or we’re at risk tonight, right?
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: You saying we’re not fully compatible?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: I think we’re compatible, I’m just not sure the others do.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: And that’s what matters now.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: Our matching jackets help, for sure.
NICOLAS_IDLE: But it might not be enough.
NICOLAS_SAD: We haven’t had as much time together as some other couples here.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: They’re obviously gonna seem closer.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: This is just a crafty way to level things up and give us a better shot.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: So, what’s your plan?
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: We keep exploring our connection with each other.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: We just tell the others it’s a bit stronger than it is.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Like, we tell them we’re catching deep feels…
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Can see a future together, all that jazz, yeah?
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: And can you see a future together with me?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: I like what I’ve seen so far, but it’s too early to know for sure.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: I want us to buy some more time together.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: That’s assuming you want more time with me?
I want ALL the time with you, sexy!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Course I want more time with you!
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: You’ve got great taste then, like I do. Another thing we’ve got in common.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Seriously, I think me and you could be a force to be reckoned with.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You’ve certainly made an impact already.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: You’ve seen nothing yet, {0}.
I’ve had enough of you already
PLAYER_ANGRY: I think we’ve spent enough time together already.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: Ouch, {0}! I did not expect you to say that.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: People usually say I’m pretty lovable.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Nah, but they usually find me entertaining at least. And sexy.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: And modest?
NICOLAS_IDLE: Nah, no one says that.
NICOLAS_SAD: But even if you’re not into old Niccy-chops you still need more time in the villa.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Even if just to explore things with some of my less attractive rivals.
Too early to answer that
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I’m not quite sure how I’m feeling about you yet.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: So you’re saying you want us to spend more time together?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Your wish is my command.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: I’m gonna convince the new boys we’re melty about each other.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: If you do the same with the others, I reckon we’re golden.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: And if I can sow any seeds of doubt, I just might.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: I’m loving every second. Haven’t had this much fun in ages!
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: So, are you hopping on this sneaky train?
Hell yes! Let’s do it
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sounds like a plan to me! Like you say, we might need to buy more time together.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Yes, {0}! See how compatible we are!
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: And even if it doesn’t work, at least we’ll have fun trying.
No way I’m doing that
PLAYER_ANGRY: I’m not up for playing these games to stay in the villa.
NICOLAS_SAD: I get that.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: But I just think as one of the new couples, we might be at risk if we don’t make a play.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Even so, bit too sneaky a move for me.
NICOLAS_IDLE: Fair do’s. Just thought it might be a fun mission for us, but your call.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: It is a bit sneaky, but I guess I just want more time to explore things with you.
Let me think about it
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not sure if it’s a good move or not. Let me think about it.
NICOLAS_IDLE: Course, think it over. No pressure.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: I know it seems a bit sneaky, but I’m happy to roll the dice to get more time with you.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: We do need to work out who we’re voting for though.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: I’ve got a shortlist.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: But want to chat to peeps more today to see which couples I’m buying.
PLAYER_IDLE: That might be a good idea. A lot’s changed over the last few days hasn’t it?
You notice Lulu and Suresh pulling Gabi away from Dana for a serious looking talk at the firepit.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: That looks deep. Wonder what that’s all about?
Dana catches your eye and motions to meet her at the sunloungers.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Guess you’re about to find out.
Nicolas flashes a playful grin and runs over to join the other new boys by the pool.
You wonder whether his plan will help you stay in the villa or not tonight.
Johnny checks no one is in earshot, and leans towards you with a mischievous grin.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Here’s my little plan. It’s a game changer and will be loads of fun.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’m listening.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Well, we need to look fully compatible or we’re at risk tonight, right?
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: You saying we’re not fully compatible?
JOHNNY_SAD: I think we’re compatible, I’m just not sure the others do.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: And that’s what matters now.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Our matching outfits help, for sure.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: But it might not be enough.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: We haven’t had as much time together as some other couples here.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: They’re obviously gonna seem closer.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: This is just a fun way to level things up and give us a better shot.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: So, what’s your plan?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: We keep exploring our connection together.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: We just tell the others it’s a bit stronger than it is.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Like, we tell everyone we’re catching deep feelings. We can see a future together, all that stuff.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And can you see a future together with me?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I think so, but it’s too early to know for sure. I want us to get more time together.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Assuming you want more time with me that is?
I want ALL the time with you, sexy!
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Course I want more time with you, sexy.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: That’s so great to hear. Another thing we’ve got in common.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Seriously, I think me and you could be something special.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You’ve certainly made an impact already.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Same with you, {0}.
I’ve had enough of you already
PLAYER_ANGRY: I think we’ve spent enough time together already.
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: Oh really? I didn’t expect you to say that.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: People usually say I’m pretty lovable.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Usually. Or if not, entertaining at least. And cute.
PLAYER_IDLE: And modest?
JOHNNY_IDLE: Maybe not. But even if you’re not into me, you still need more time in the villa.
JOHNNY_SAD: Even if just to explore things with other people.
Too early to answer that
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not quite sure how I’m feeling about you yet.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I get that, early days. But that’s another argument to spend more time together.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Fingers crossed on that.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: I’m gonna chat to the new boys and tell them I’m all in with you.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: If you do the same with the others, I reckon we’re golden.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: And if I can stir up some drama, I just might.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: You’re enjoying this aren’t you?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I’m loving every second. Haven’t had this much fun in ages!
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: So, are you hopping on this fun train?
Hell yes! Let’s do it
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sounds like a plan to me! Like you say, we might need to buy more time together.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Yes, {0}! See how compatible we are!
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: And even if it doesn’t work, at least we’ll have fun trying.
No way I’m doing that
PLAYER_ANGRY: I’m not up for playing these games to stay in the villa.
JOHNNY_SAD: I get that. I just think as one of the new couples, we might be at risk here.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: So, we should make a play.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Even so, bit too sneaky a move for me.
JOHNNY_IDLE: That’s fair. Just thought it might be a bit of fun, but your call.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: It is a bit sneaky, but I guess I just want more time to explore things with you.
Let me think about it
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not sure if it’s a good move or not. Let me think about it.
JOHNNY_IDLE: 'Course, think it over. No pressure.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I know it seems a bit sneaky.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: But I’m happy to try something to get more time with you.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: We do need to work out who we’re voting for though.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: I’ve got a shortlist, but want to chat to everyone more and see if I change my mind.
PLAYER_IDLE: That might be a good idea. A lot’s changed over the last few days hasn’t it?
You notice Lulu and Suresh pulling Gabi away from Dana for a serious looking talk at the firepit.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: That looks deep. Wonder what that’s all about?
Dana catches your eye and motions to meet her at the sunloungers.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Guess you’re about to find out.
Johnny flashes a playful grin and runs over to join the other new boys by the pool.
You wonder whether his plan will help you stay in the villa or not tonight.
Dana looks unusually worried as she watches Gabi, Suresh and Lulu’s intense looking talk at the firepit.
DANA_SERIOUS: Wish I could be a fly on that firepit.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: What do you think they’re talking about?
DANA_HAPPY: Probably what a hilarious, stunning hottie I am.
DANA_IDLE: Either that or Gabi and Suresh’s unfinished business.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Lulu said the three of them needed a private chat.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: So, that’s got my alarm bells ringing.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Are you worried about Gabi and Suresh?
You notice Gabi lean closer to Suresh as they talk in hushed tones.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Course I am! Look at her body language with him.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: I mean, I love that she’s got strong flirt game.
DANA_SERIOUS: But I prefer it when it's with people who aren’t her beefcake ex… And yours.
DANA_SERIOUS: You think there’s still feelings between Gabi and Suresh?
Looks like they’ve still got a connection
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I think there’s still a connection between them, or unfinished business at least.
DANA_SAD: Yeah, me too. I just wish I could explore things with Gabi without these complications.
DANA_SAD: I guess everything is getting complicated for us both.
I think that’s in the past
PLAYER_HAPPY: Gabi and Suresh are in the past. Don’t think there’s still feelings there.
DANA_IDLE: I hope you’re right, but it looks like there’s something between them to me.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Guess I need to talk to her and see where her head’s at.
PLAYER_IDLE: Maybe you do.
I wish I knew
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I wish I knew the deal between those two. I’ve found out so much new info the last few days.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, your head must be spinning as much as mine.
DANA_SERIOUS: Especially with the dumping tonight.
DANA_IDLE: I think tonight’s forcing everyone to assess where they’re at with their partner.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think you might be right about that.
Your eyes meet Nicolas as he walks past.
He gives you a playful wink, as though he’s hinting you should run with his scheme.
Your eyes meet Johnny as he walks past.
He gives you a playful wink, as though he’s hinting you should run with his scheme.
PLAYER_IDLE: He was just saying something similar.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Interesting. Do you think you’re compatible?
Yes, we’re couple goals
PLAYER_HAPPY: I think we’re pretty compatible. Feels like there’s something there.
DANA_HAPPY: That’s cool. I don’t know him that well yet, but seems like a good guy.
DANA_IDLE: Happy you’ve found a connection.
DANA_SAD: Even if I hoped it might be me and you sharing a connection.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Things really went off the rails before Casa Amor, didn’t they?
DANA_SAD: They really did.
No, we’re not a good match
PLAYER_SAD: I don’t think me and him are very compatible.
DANA_SURPRISED: Really? I thought you two had pretty good chemistry.
DANA_SURPRISED: You’re even wearing matching outfits.
DANA_SAD: Guess you can never tell who you’re gonna vibe with.
Time will tell
PLAYER_IDLE: It’s too early to know if we’re a good match yet. We’re still figuring each other out.
DANA_IDLE: Yeah for sure. I thought I’d figured Gabi out, but not so sure now.
DANA_SAD: Guess time will tell for us both then. But feels like time might be running out.
DANA_SERIOUS: I’m really pranging about tonight. I’m not ready to leave the villa yet.
DANA_SAD: Feels like I’m just getting started.
DANA_SAD: I’d be so gutted if both of us don’t make it to the final.
PLAYER_IDLE: We don’t know what’s going to happen tonight.
DANA_IDLE: We don’t. And I’ve still got no idea who we’re going to vote for.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: It’ll be interesting if Gabi pushes to keep Suresh in the villa.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, it will.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Nicolas said he's got a couple of ideas for who's on his shortlist.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Johnny said he's got a couple of ideas for who's on his shortlist.
PLAYER_SAD: Didn’t say who though.
DANA_HAPPY: Ooh mysterious. Hopefully it’s not yours truly.
PLAYER_IDLE: He said he’s going to chat to more people and see how he’s feeling later.
DANA_IDLE: I’m gonna take some time alone to get my head straight, then I’ll do the same.
DANA_IDLE: Maybe you should too.
DANA_IDLE: You’ve got strong connections here.
DANA_IDLE: You should remind them that you deserve to stay in the villa.
Dana gives your shoulder a reassuring squeeze as she walks into the villa.
Your head whirls with thoughts of tonight’s dumping as you decide who you need to talk to first.
DAYBEDS: Arlo, Pete
You join Arlo and Pete on the bean bags who are laughing about something.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Mind if I join you guys?
ARLO_HAPPY: Sure, {0}. Pete’s just bantering about fish.
PLAYER_HAPPY: What about fish?
ARLO_EMBARRASSED: He’s always been scared of them.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Why?
PETE_SERIOUS: Their eyes creep me out. Started when I went snorkelling as a kid.
PETE_SERIOUS: Just after I put my mask on…
PETE_EMBARRASSED: I had some giant whiskered catfish staring at me like he wanted to eat me.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Maybe you’ll get sent on a snorkelling date?
ARLO_HAPPY: I hope so.
PETE_HAPPY: I’d suck it up to get a date with you, babe.
Arlo beams at Pete.
PLAYER_IDLE: You two hitting it off still then?
PETE_HAPPY: Big time. Feels like we’ve known each other way longer than we have.
ARLO_FLIRTY: We can banter about nothing for days.
PETE_FLIRTY: Wild chemistry from day one!
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re not worried about the dumping tonight then?
ARLO_SERIOUS: Nah, it’s obvious we’re a match. Right, {0}?
Yeah, you vibe together
PLAYER_HAPPY: You two clearly click. It’s obvious.
ARLO_HAPPY: Thanks, hun.
PETE_HAPPY: Yeah, glad it comes across.
I’m not buying it
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not buying you two as a power couple. Feels a bit forced.
ARLO_ANGRY: You don’t know what you’re talking about.
ARLO_ANGRY: Nothing forced about us. Is there, Pete?
PETE_SERIOUS: Not at all. We’re legit. Sure you’ll change your mind on us soon.
ARLO_SURPRISED: Can’t believe you don’t think we’re compatible!
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: You asked, Arlo. Thought you’d appreciate me telling it straight.
ARLO_ANGRY: Well, I don’t.
Too early to tell
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not sure yet, it’s only been a few days.
ARLO_FLIRTY: A few days is all it takes when you’re with the right person.
PETE_FLIRTY: Damn right.
PLAYER_IDLE: Do you think me and Nicolas are compatible?
PLAYER_IDLE: Do you think me and Johnny are compatible?
ARLO_SERIOUS: I was on the fence about you…
ARLO_ANGRY: But after hearing what you think about us, I’m gonna say no.
ARLO_IDLE: I’m kinda on the fence about you as a couple.
PETE_HAPPY: I think you might have something together.
You catch eyes with Nicolas who gives you a playful nod to remind you of his plan.
You catch eyes with Johnny who gives you a playful nod to remind you of his plan.
Sell your compatibility with your partner
PLAYER_HAPPY: We couldn’t be any more compatible than we are. We hit it off.
PETE_HAPPY: Good to hear your vibing. You look like a good couple to me.
ARLO_SURPRISED: You’ve actually got things in common then?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, for sure. Why?
ARLO_IDLE: Just doesn’t seem like you’re each other’s types to me.
Ignore your partner’s plan
PLAYER_IDLE: I guess time will tell about all this.
ARLO_IDLE: Yeah. Feels like he’s not exactly your type.
PETE_HAPPY: Either way, doesn’t really matter what your types are, does it?
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you mean?
PETE_HAPPY: Well, on paper Lulu’s way more my type than Arlo.
PETE_HAPPY: But we’re onto a good thing aren’t we?
ARLO_ANGRY: Err, I thought we were. But then again I thought I was your type. You said I was.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Got your foot in your mouth there, Pete?
ARLO_ANGRY: Or was me being your type a lie?
PETE_EMBARRASSED: You are my type. Just not quite as much as Lulu is.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Keep digging, Pete.
ARLO_ANGRY: So, what is it Lulu’s got that I don’t?
PETE_EMBARRASSED: Nothing.
ARLO_SERIOUS: No, go on.
PETE_EMBARRASSED: You really want to know?
ARLO_SERIOUS: Yeah, I do.
PETE_FLIRTY: She’s got that cute girl-next-door vibe.
ARLO_SURPRISED: Am I not the girl-next-door, then?
PETE_FLIRTY: I just like Lulu’s vibe is all. Plus she’s got an outrageous bod on her.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Know when to cut your losses, Pete.
PETE_SURPRISED: What? She asked.
PETE_FLIRTY: She’s just got those curves. She’s a head turner.
ARLO_FLIRTY: I’ve got a killer bod too, hun. Tell him, {0}.
Yeah, you do
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You’ve got a great body, Arlo. I know that.
ARLO_HAPPY: Thanks, {0}. I know it, too.
PETE_SERIOUS: Sounds like everyone knows it, so why the drama?
I prefer Lulu’s body
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’m with Pete on this, Lulu’s figure is total goals.
ARLO_ANGRY: Yeah, whatever, {0}. Mine’s goals, too.
PETE_SERIOUS: So why the drama?
I’m not getting involved
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not getting in the middle of you too.
ARLO_ANGRY: Sounds like he wants someone else in the middle of us.
PETE_FLIRTY: Now that’d be a hot threesome.
PETE_EMBARRASSED: Too soon?
ARLO_SERIOUS: Your eyes should be on me, and me only.
PETE_FLIRTY: They are.
PETE_HAPPY: Most of the time.
ARLO_SURPRISED: I can’t be dealing with you right now!
ARLO_ANGRY: And, you’re not my type either, just so you know.
PETE_HAPPY: Come on, don’t get aggy with me over nothing.
The other Islanders look over, noticing raised voices.
ARLO_ANGRY: Finding out your fella is into someone else isn’t nothing, is it?
PETE_SERIOUS: I didn’t say I was into her. Just that she’s got a cool vibe.
PETE_IDLE: And a great body.
ARLO_ANGRY: I’m done with this.
Arlo storms away from Pete.
The other Islanders pretend they haven’t been staring the whole time.
PETE_EMBARRASSED: Probably should’ve handled that better, shouldn’t I?
Pete follows Arlo into the villa.
POOL: Alfie, Meera
You join Alfie and Meera who happily shoot the breeze by the pool.
ALFIE_HAPPY: {0}, come join us.
PLAYER_HAPPY: What’s going on with you two?
MEERA_FLIRTY: Just persuading Alfie he should come to Leicester when we get out of here.
ALFIE_HAPPY: As long as I can bring Benji.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Think this is the most time I’ve been away from him.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I forgot about Benji.
MEERA_HAPPY: Aww yeah, can’t wait to meet Benji!
MEERA_FLIRTY: Dogs love me, so don’t be surprised if he wants to stay with me.
ALFIE_IDLE: Guess that means I’m staying in Leicester then.
MEERA_FLIRTY: Fine by me.
MEERA_HAPPY: I always kind of fall in love whenever I’m dog sitting.
ALFIE_IDLE: Same! Did I mention me and my old man foster dogs from a shelter near us?
ALFIE_IDLE: Help them get less nervous and scared so they’re more likely to be adopted.
ALFIE_HAPPY: He does the training and I basically just shower them with love.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That is sweet.
MEERA_HAPPY: I’m definitely getting involved in this doggy action when we get out of here.
MEERA_EMBARRASSED: Wait, that came out weird.
You all laugh when Meera realises what she’s said.
MEERA_FLIRTY: Although I do enjoy that position, too.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Who doesn’t!
It my fave position, too
PLAYER_FLIRTY: It’s my fave, too. It’s one thing Suresh got right in here.
ALFIE_HAPPY: In the quiz on day one you mean?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, feels like ages ago now.
It’s not my fave
PLAYER_FLIRTY: It’s not my fave position. Suresh got that wrong in the quiz.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Ah yeah, the one on day one, you mean?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, feels like ages ago now.
Change the subject
PLAYER_IDLE: Let's talk about something else.
ALFIE_IDLE: Sure.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: How are you two feeling about the dumping tonight?
ALFIE_IDLE: What dumping?
MEERA_HAPPY: Exactly, not even thinking about it. Just enjoying being reunited with Alf again.
ALFIE_IDLE: It’s a proper gift, innit? I reckon everyone can see how close we are already.
MEERA_EMBARRASSED: We’d be even closer if a certain fool hadn’t dumped me already.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, I did some serious grafting in Casa.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Luckily it worked out, and you’re both still here. So really, I smashed it, right?
MEERA_HAPPY: You got lucky, boy. When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
You two are meant to be
PLAYER_HAPPY: You two are perfect for each other. Dream couple.
MEERA_HAPPY: Thanks, {0}. Glad it’s obvious we vibe.
MEERA_HAPPY: Even if it took Alfie a while to get there.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: You both know I’m not the most experienced with relationships.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Probably explains some of my mistakes in here.
You two won’t last
PLAYER_ANGRY: Can’t see you two lasting long. If others feel the same you might be goners tonight.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: Wow, {0}.
MEERA_ANGRY: Forgot you were a relationship expert, {0}.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Just saying it how it is.
MEERA_ANGRY: Well, you’re just showing why Alfie made the right choice by coupling up with me.
MEERA_SERIOUS: And if he could go back in time, I’m certain he’d couple up with me this time.
He’d pick me again
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Alfie would pick me again for sure.
MEERA_ANGRY: Yeah, right. Think you’re deluding yourself, {0}.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Whatever, Meera.
Maybe he would pick you
PLAYER_IDLE: Yeah, maybe he would pick you this time.
MEERA_SERIOUS: Glad we agree on something then.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Let’s keep it calm, yeah?
MEERA_IDLE: Yeah, you’re right.
Who knows if you’ll work
PLAYER_IDLE: Who knows if you’re meant to be or not. Time will tell.
ALFIE_IDLE: I’m feeling confident in us.
MEERA_HAPPY: I’m feeling very confident in us. Excited for everything we’ve got in store together.
PLAYER_IDLE: Have you two worked out who you’re voting for yet?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: We haven’t even talked about it yet. Don’t want to vote for anyone to leave.
MEERA_SAD: It’s not a nice thing to have to do. At least everyone’s in the same boat though.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, think it’s causing a bit of tension.
MEERA_HAPPY: Some people are even wearing matching outfits to try to swing it their way.
ALFIE_HAPPY: That’s hilarious.
MEERA_EMBARRASSED: Bit desperate to me.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Whatever.
ALFIE_HAPPY: They do both look great in those outfits though, don’t they?
MEERA_IDLE: They do actually, in fairness.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Anyway, {0}, Meera and I should have that chat about tonight.
MEERA_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, guess we do.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’ll leave you both to it then.
GYM: Finn, Kat
Kat rubs sunscreen into Finn’s back as he stands by the weights bench.
KAT_FLIRTY: Come join us, babe.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: We’ve been talking about everyone’s least favourite holiday destination.
KAT_SERIOUS: Casa Amor.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Why’s that?
KAT_HAPPY: ‘Cause that was our first proper test as a couple.
FINN_HAPPY: Apart from my excess baggage, my views on marriage…
FINN_EMBARRASSED: And nearly recoupling with Arlo.
KAT_ANGRY: Babe, you weren’t ever recoupling with anyone else.
KAT_ANGRY: You were just hogging the limelight as per.
FINN_HAPPY: I do that, don’t I?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Does that remind you of anyone else, Kat?
KAT_FLIRTY: Cheeky! But true. Probably one of the many reasons why we click, Finn baby.
FINN_IDLE: For sure.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: What were you saying about Casa Amor?
KAT_HAPPY: Basically that I was proper stressing about what Finn was up to.
KAT_EMBARRASSED: And if he’d get with someone else.
FINN_FLIRTY: Same way you could’ve.
FINN_FLIRTY: {0}, Kat was telling me the Casa boys were all over her.
Kat shoots you a cheeky look asking you to play along.
KAT_FLIRTY: All over me, weren’t they, {0}?
Yeah, the Casa boys were all over you
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, they were all grafting you hard, Kat.
KAT_HAPPY: Facts. Stayed faithful though. You’re welcome, Finn.
FINN_HAPPY: I didn’t have any doubts.
I remember you failing at flirting with them
PLAYER_HAPPY: I remember you being so rattled about Finn that you lost all your flirt game. Awkward.
KAT_EMBARRASSED: He doesn’t need to know that.
FINN_SURPRISED: So, you tried getting your flirt on then?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Tried and failed.
KAT_ANGRY: Only after seeing that postcard, if you wanna go there, Finn.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: No, let's not go there again.
Leave me out of it
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I’m staying out of this. What happens in Casa…
FINN_HAPPY: Wise words, {0}. Wise words.
KAT_SERIOUS: What matters is I passed a test with flying colours for the first time since GCSE chemistry.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thought you said you got a D?
KAT_HAPPY: Exactly, smashed it.
KAT_IDLE: But anyway, we both got put to the test in Casa, and came through for each other.
KAT_HAPPY: That means something. Especially with us both being promised-skewers in the past.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Promised… skewers? Like chicken skewers?
KAT_HAPPY: Oh, I meant promiscuous, didn’t I?
FINN_HAPPY: Yeah, you did. And it does mean something, Kat.
Finn looks at you, suddenly much more serious.
FINN_SERIOUS: But, Kat, do you mind if I have a quick chat alone with {0} here.
KAT_SURPRISED: What about?
FINN_HAPPY: Ah, nothing important.
KAT_FLIRTY: If this is some juicy goss I'm not missing it.
FINN_IDLE: Nothing juicy.
KAT_SERIOUS: Finn, babe, you're more of a goss fiend than me!
FINN_SERIOUS: No goss, Kat.
KAT_SERIOUS: What do you want to talk to {0} about then?
FINN_IDLE: Football.
KAT_HAPPY: Bye.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Football?
Finn whispers to you, out of earshot of Kat.
FINN_SERIOUS: It’s actually really important. And it's not about football.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Why did you say that to Kat, then?
FINN_SERIOUS: You wouldn’t want to see Kat’s reaction to what I need to say.
FINN_SERIOUS: I’m not even sure how you’re going to react.
FINN_FLIRTY: But I’ve something I need to tell you.
*You better start spilling then!
PLAYER_HAPPY: We need to have this chat, Finn.
FINN_HAPPY: Really hoped you’d say that! Let’s head to the loungers.
I’m going to pass
PLAYER_IDLE: I’ll pass this time, Finn.
FINN_SERIOUS: It’s about what I wanted to say to you before Casa Amor.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Oh, that.
FINN_SERIOUS: It’s about what I said to you before Casa Amor.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Oh, that.
FINN_FLIRTY: I’ve wanted to tell you this so many times recently, and it’s been eating me up.
FINN_SERIOUS: I've tried to find the right moment since Casa.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: But too much has been going on.
FINN_SERIOUS: This could change everything for us both. Hear me out?
*I need to hear you out then!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s go to the loungers then.
FINN_HAPPY: So happy you’ll hear me out.
I’m okay missing out on the tea
PLAYER_IDLE: Gonna pass on this one, Finn.
FINN_SAD: That’s a shame.
Finn casts you a final sad glance and returns to his work out.
You sit next to Finn on a sunlounger. He checks no one is in earshot.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’m intrigued about what you want to tell me that you don’t want Kat to hear.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, this is all a bit awkward.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Things aren’t good with you and Kat?
FINN_HAPPY: Nah, things are pretty sweet between us.
FINN_HAPPY: The feelings are definitely getting stronger.
FINN_IDLE: Particularly on her side.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: It’s not mutual?
FINN_EMBARRASSED: It is mutual. Just slightly more mutual on her side.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: That doesn’t make any sense.
FINN_SERIOUS: Well, things aren’t making much sense for me right now.
FINN_HAPPY: Kat’s an absolute worldie.
FINN_HAPPY: And she’s hilarious and clearly all in on me. And I am into her.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: So, what’s the problem?
FINN_EMBARRASSED: I’m also catching feelings for you, {0}.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really? This is what you were going to tell me before Casa Amor?
FINN_FLIRTY: Indeed it was. I get you had too much drama going on to hear me out then.
FINN_HAPPY: But I’m chuffed we’re having this chat now.
FINN_FLIRTY: I know I hinted at this before we got whisked off to Casa.
FINN_FLIRTY: But we never really got to finish the chat.
FINN_HAPPY: And I never got to hear whether you feel the same or not.
FINN_IDLE: I feel like Casa changed a lot for me.
PLAYER_IDLE: A lot’s changed for me since Casa, too.
FINN_IDLE: Very true. You’ve got a new partner and there’s a whole new villa dynamic.
FINN_HAPPY: Being away in Casa was what I needed to get some space and perspective.
FINN_FLIRTY: And to be tested.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Sounds like Kat thinks you both sailed through that test.
FINN_SERIOUS: We did. And I was never gonna twist from Kat.
FINN_SERIOUS: But I knew my bigger test was coming up.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Meaning?
FINN_HAPPY: Sharing a villa with you again.
FINN_HAPPY: When I saw you at the recoupling I got goosebumps.
FINN_FLIRTY: And I realised I had stronger feelings for you than I thought.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Wow, okay.
FINN_HAPPY: I feel like so much has gone on recently.
FINN_HAPPY: It’s taken me by surprise how much I like you.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: What is it you like about me?
FINN_HAPPY: Well, it’s not even about your looks, which are lovely by the way.
FINN_HAPPY: You’re way out of my league.
FINN_HAPPY: But there’s just something indescribable and totally unique about you.
FINN_FLIRTY: The way you smile and laugh.
FINN_FLIRTY: And how that always brings a smile to my own face.
FINN_SERIOUS: How you’re not scared of keeping people on their toes.
FINN_FLIRTY: Or going after what you want.
FINN_HAPPY: How much life and vibes you bring to the villa. How you make me feel.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And how do I make you feel?
FINN_HAPPY: Excited. Everytime we talk or make eye contact, I’m alive and present.
FINN_HAPPY: In the moment.
FINN_SERIOUS: I get bored of most people after a bit, but haven’t with you.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: I always… you know, get a bit nervous when I see you.
Finn stumbles slightly over his words, his voice less assured than usual.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: I’ve been fighting it for a while as I’m with Kat. And you’re with whatshisname.
FINN_SERIOUS: But… I need to finally, you know, open up about how I feel about you.
You look at Finn, who seems unusually boyish.
FINN_SERIOUS: The only thing that really matters is whether you have feelings for me too, {0}.
Yes, I’ve got feelings for you
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m catching feelings for you too, Finn.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: There’s always been a spark between us and I was hoping you’d say all this.
FINN_HAPPY: I’m very glad I told you. And that you didn’t fully pie me off.
FINN_FLIRTY: I got nervous back then. I never get nervous.
No, I’m not interested in you
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I don’t feel the same, Finn.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: Ouch, okay. Thanks for letting me know.
FINN_SAD: Hope you didn’t mind me opening up to you.
FINN_SAD: I know we’re both coupled with other people.
FINN_SAD: Felt like I had to put it out there before things develop more with me and Kat.
I’m not sure right now
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m really not sure if I’ve got feelings for you or not.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: So much has happened here, my head’s all over the place.
FINN_FLIRTY: You and me both, {0}. It’s been a rollercoaster ride hasn’t it!
FINN_HAPPY: But I’m glad you’re not closed off to me.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: So, where does this leave you and Kat, then?
Finn looks away awkwardly, and seems unsure what to say.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: I need to work that out.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: And I hate myself for even admitting I’ve got feelings for you, too.
FINN_HAPPY: Kat’s a diamond, and she’s actually really sweet when you get past her front.
FINN_SERIOUS: And I really want to make sure I don’t hurt her.
FINN_IDLE: But at the same time, I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t tell you where my head’s at.
FINN_IDLE: How are you feeling about Nicolas?
FINN_IDLE: How are you feeling about Johnny?
I'm into him
PLAYER_HAPPY: I am into him. I'm enjoying being coupled with him.
FINN_HAPPY: He seems like an entertaining boy for sure.
FINN_FLIRTY: I guess you should think about which one of us you like most.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Who said it's just between you two?
FINN_FLIRTY: Keeping me on my toes, {0}. Like it!
FINN_IDLE: Fingers crossed for you both then.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, Finn.
I'm not that into him
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I'm not that into him if I'm being honest.
FINN_IDLE: That's interesting. Thought you two were vibing.
FINN_HAPPY: Good news for me potentially then.
FINN_SAD: Guess you've got high standards.
Time will tell
PLAYER_FLIRTY: It's early days for me and him.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Who knows what the future might hold.
FINN_FLIRTY: Hopefully it shows us together.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Like I say, who knows.
FINN_HAPPY: I hope you find the person you’re looking for, {0}.
FINN_SERIOUS: You deserve to find someone who treats you as special as you are.
Finn gives you a warm smile before leaving you alone on the loungers.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I guess we both need to have a think about what to do then.
FINN_SERIOUS: We do indeed.
Finn gives you a warm smile before leaving you alone on the loungers.
You stand by the pool in the cool evening air. A phone pings. It’s yours.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I got a text!
The rest of the Islanders gather around. You read it out.
LITEXT: Islanders, it’s time to make your decision about which couple is the least compatible.
LITEXT: Please break off into your couples and prepare to cast your votes! {0}CoupleDown {1}MakeYourMindUp
DANA_SAD: This suddenly feels like a big deal.
GABI_SAD: Yeah, it feels proper important now.
LULU_IDLE: It’s gonna be harder to make this decision than we thought.
PETE_FLIRTY: Speak for yourself, Lulu. Think me and Arlo know who we’re voting for.
PETE_FLIRTY: Ain’t that right, Arlo?
Arlo shoots you an awkward look about your comment earlier.
ARLO_SERIOUS: Yeah, 100%.
KAT_IDLE: I think me and Finn should get through this test easily enough.
FINN_IDLE: Sure hope so. The villa would be boring without us wouldn’t it?
SURESH_HAPPY: I think you could say the same about me too, bro.
GABI_FLIRTY: Yeah, you’d defo be missed, Suresh.
Suresh notices Lulu looking at him.
SURESH_EMBARRASSED: Oh, and Lulu would be missed of course too.
PETE_HAPPY: Nice save, mate.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: I can’t imagine a power couple like me and {0} being voted off.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Isn’t that right, {0}?
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: I can’t imagine a strong couple like me and {0} being voted off.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Isn’t that right, {0}?
We’re a true power couple
PLAYER_HAPPY: We are the Queen and King of this villa without a doubt.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: And nobody is gonna knock these crowns off our heads.
Others are more compatible
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It seems to me that some of the other couples are probably more compatible than us.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: What?! That’s just not possible.
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: Really? Not sure that’s possible.
I wouldn’t like to say
PLAYER_IDLE: It’s too hard to predict. Anything is possible at a dumping like this.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: I’ve gotta disagree, {0}. Some things are a dead cert.
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: I’ve gotta disagree, {0}. Some things are practically guaranteed.
ALFIE_SAD: I really don’t like having to do this at all. I don’t want any of you to leave.
MEERA_HAPPY: It’s all good, Alf. We’re not going anywhere.
FINN_IDLE: So, I guess we should all split up and find a little private area to cast our votes.
KAT_FLIRTY: Maybe use that private area for a little something extra too?
FINN_FLIRTY: Well, if we’re going home, we might as well go out with a bang!
You shoot Finn a glance about your chat earlier. He awkwardly leaves with Kat.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Meera, do you mind if I have a quick chat with {0} first?
MEERA_SERIOUS: I guess. Have to make it quick though. Come find me when you’re done.
Meera eyes you as she kisses Alfie on the cheek.
The remaining Islanders disperse to various parts of the villa, leaving you and Alfie alone.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: What do you want to chat about, Alfie?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I want to talk about who me and Meera think should be dumped.
ALFIE_SAD: I can’t really say that I’ve made my mind up yet.
ALFIE_SAD: And maybe I could sway Meera still.
ALFIE_IDLE: Maybe chatting with you will confirm my choice?
ALFIE_SAD: Also, with the dumping so close, this could be the last time we get to have a chat.
ALFIE_IDLE: So, do you want to come talk with me, {0}?
*Yeah, tell me about your choice
PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s talk, Alfie!
ALFIE_HAPPY: Nice one. Follow me.
You walk with Alfie to the daybeds.
Nope, not interested
PLAYER_IDLE: No thanks, Alfie.
ALFIE_IDLE: Really? Don’t you want to hear about who Meera wants to dump?
ALFIE_IDLE: Chat with me, and you’ll find out.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Plus hearing your thoughts on the couples might help me make my mind up.
*Actually, let’s talk
PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s talk, Alfie!
ALFIE_HAPPY: Nice one. Follow me.
You walk with Alfie to the daybeds.
Still not interested
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Alfie, I really don’t care.
ALFIE_SAD: Ok. No worries, {0}.
ALFIE_IDLE: I’ll see you at the firepit for the results.
You head over to the swing-seat to vote with Nicolas.
You head over to the swing-seat to vote with Johnny.
You sit down beside Alfie on the daybeds.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: This has to be the worst part of this whole thing.
ALFIE_SAD: Choosing friends over other friends.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: It’s like trying to pick your all time favourite England players.
ALFIE_IDLE: There’s just too many legends to choose from.
ALFIE_SAD: I really don’t want to do this, {0}.
PLAYER_SAD: It’s part of the game, Alfie. It has to be done.
ALFIE_IDLE: I know. I’m just trying to delay it.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I thought you were going to tell me about Meera’s choice?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Of course, yeah.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: So, who does she want to dump?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: You probably won’t like the answer, but she wants to dump…
ALFIE_SERIOUS: You.
ALFIE_SAD: Obviously I'm not happy about it.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: We've been coupled up and we've got some history.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I really value you as a friend.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: What do you think of that?
I expected that
PLAYER_SERIOUS: That’s not exactly a surprise. Meera has definitely got it in for me.
PLAYER_ANGRY: Especially after that little bust up earlier.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, you might not have helped your case with that remark.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I’m not sure that her reasons for picking you are that snakey, though.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Meera has wanted to get rid of me since she returned from Casa Amor.
I didn’t expect that
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I know we’ve had our differences, but I didn’t think Meera would want me dumped!
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Especially after we had a nice chat earlier.
PLAYER_IDLE: And I told you both I thought you were a dream couple.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Yeah, she was pretty adamant about it too.
I can’t say I’m bothered
PLAYER_SERIOUS: She can try to dump whoever she wants, I can’t stop her.
PLAYER_IDLE: Besides, I’m not too fussed anyway. She’s not the only Islander voting.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I guess she sees you as unwanted competition.
ALFIE_IDLE: To be clear though, {0}, I don’t agree with her.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: There’s no way I would want you to leave.
ALFIE_SAD: The thought of losing you really upsets me.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: But, Meera can be pretty persistent, so I'm not sure what to do.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You said that I might be able to sway yours and Meera’s decision.
ALFIE_IDLE: That’s true.
ALFIE_IDLE: Sway me, and maybe I’ll be able to sway Meera. It’s worth a shot.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: So, which couple do you think we should vote to dump instead then?
Kat and Finn
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You should vote to dump Kat and Finn.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: Kat and Finn? That would mean breaking up our epic bromance!
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Yeah, I know that’d be a hard one for you. Just not sure they’ve got a future.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: I know they’re chalk and cheese, but he’s my boy.
ALFIE_SAD: I couldn't imagine being in the villa without Finn.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I get that, but this is about compatibility as a couple.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: That is true.
Lulu and Suresh
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You should vote to dump Lulu and Suresh.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: Lulu and Suresh?
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You and Suresh have never seen eye to eye.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Plus, do you believe he’s turned over a new leaf?
ALFIE_IDLE: Can I see him as a faithful boyfriend to Lulu, you mean?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Guess I’ve still got my doubts.
Gabi and Dana
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You should vote to dump Gabi and Dana.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: Gabi and Dana?
ALFIE_SURPRISED: I thought they seemed to vibe together.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Although there’s some weird thing with Suresh and Gabi still.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Surprised you’d want to dump Dana though.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I guess we're supposed to leave any friendships to one side.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: This is about compatibility as a couple.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: That is true.
Arlo and Pete
PLAYER_SERIOUS: You should vote to dump Arlo and Pete.
ALFIE_SURPRISED: Arlo and Pete?
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Did you see their fall out earlier?
ALFIE_IDLE: How could I miss it? What was that about?
PLAYER_SERIOUS: About Lulu being more Pete’s type than Arlo is. He kept putting his foot in it.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, he doesn't know when to keep quiet.
ALFIE_SAD: Much as I enjoy them both, I think you've got a point.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I'm not sure I see them being compatible long term.
It’s too hard to choose
PLAYER_SAD: Actually, it’s too difficult to pick someone. I just can’t.
ALFIE_SAD: You know exactly how I feel.
Alfie stands up from the daybeds.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: This is a tough situation, {0}.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It really is!
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I best go chat with Meera, can’t put it off any longer.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I'll definitely bear in mind your opinions though.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, Alfie.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Anything else you want to say before I head off?
Guilt trip Alfie
PLAYER_SAD: Just that I'd be devastated if we got dumped tonight.
ALFIE_SAD: Me too.
PLAYER_SAD: I feel like my time in the villa is nowhere near done.
PLAYER_SAD: I'd be so sad if it ended prematurely.
PLAYER_SAD: I really want to get to the very end.
ALFIE_SAD: I know exactly what you mean.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I want us to finish this experience together.
Leave it at that
PLAYER_IDLE: No, I'm good.
ALFIE_IDLE: Okay, no worries.
ALFIE_IDLE: I’ll see you at the firepit for the results.
ALFIE_IDLE: Good luck, {0}. I’ll really miss you if you don’t stay.
I’ll miss you too, Alfie
PLAYER_SAD: I’ll miss you too, Alfie.
ALFIE_IDLE: Well, let’s hope we can both stay then.
Good luck, Alfie
PLAYER_HAPPY: Good luck to you too, Alfie.
You head over to the swing-seat to vote with Nicolas.
You head over to the swing-seat to vote with Johnny.
Nicolas is waiting for you on the swing-seat. You sit down beside him.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Ready to get into it then?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Born ready.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Do you know which couple you want to vote out?
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: I’ve chatted with everyone today and I’ve narrowed it down to two couples.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Which two?
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: Alfie and Meera or Dana and Gabi.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Why?
NICOLAS_IDLE: Alfie and Meera are fine. They’re just a bit meh.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: They’re both nice and all. Just don’t see much chemistry between them.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: I can’t imagine them ripping off each other’s clothes on the plane home.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: We’re voting on compatibility. Not just sexual chemistry.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: If you don’t have that chemistry from the start, you’re never gonna last.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Tried it once.
NICOLAS_EMBARRASSED: Lasted a week.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Also, overheard you telling Meera you didn’t buy her and Alfie. That was hilarious.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: And telling her Alfie would pick you again?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Probably not the smartest thing, but love your style.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: But it also got me thinking he’s still got a crush on you.
NICOLAS_EMBARRASSED: Not great news for Meera.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Bit of an eavesdropper aren’t you?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Hard not to overhear that tea!
Nicolas laughs.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: And what about Dana and Gabi?
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: They’re both lively and fun. And Gabi brings all the triple ex drama.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Tempted to keep her in for that.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Triple ex drama?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: You, Gabi, Suresh: Triple ex. Never seen anything like it. Gives me life!
NICOLAS_HAPPY: What? You know I live for the drama.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: But, I think Gabi’s a bit too much of a live wire for Dana.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: And she’s still clearly into Suresh.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Who? Gabi or Dana?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Gabi for sure!
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: Well, {0}. Which couple do you want to dump?
Kat and Finn
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Kat and Finn.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: Aww, I actually weirdly think they might last. Not sure why. Like their vibe.
NICOLAS_IDLE: But you’ve known them longer than I have. You probably get them more than I do.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Finn and Kat then?
Lulu and Suresh
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Lulu and Suresh.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Yeah, good shout. Turn your ex into an ex-Islander. Makes sense.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: And one less alpha for me to outshine.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Although I would miss Lulu. She’s a sweetheart.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: But happy for you to try to dump your ex.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Glad we’re on the same page.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: It’s get your own back time, {0}!
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Suresh and Lulu then?
Gabi and Dana
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I agree, it has to be Gabi and Dana.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Glad we’re on the same page. Look at us being all compatible and everything.
NICOLAS_SAD: Still, will be sad to lose all the drama, but hey ho.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Understand why might want Gabi out of the villa, too.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Gabi and Dana then?
Arlo and Pete
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Arlo and Pete. Especially after their bust up earlier.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: Not sure. I see them as a couple that’ll love to fight and make up…
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: If you know what I mean.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: But you’ve known Arlo longer than I have, so happy to go with your gut.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Arlo and Pete then?
Alfie and Meera
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I agree, it has to be Alfie and Meera.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Glad we’re on the same page. Look at us being all compatible and everything.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: You’ve known Alfie from the start.
NICOLAS_SERIOUS: If you don’t buy him and Meera then you should listen to your gut.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Alfie and Meera then?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Send the text, {0}.
Johnny is waiting for you on the swing-seat. You sit down beside him.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Ready to get into it then?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: I guess so.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Do you know which couple you want to vote out?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: I’ve chatted with everyone today and I’ve narrowed it down to two couples.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Which two?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Alfie and Meera or Dana and Gabi.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Why?
JOHNNY_IDLE: Alfie and Meera are fine.
JOHNNY_IDLE: They’re both nice and all. Just don’t see much chemistry between them.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: I can’t imagine them ripping off each other’s clothes every night.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: We’re voting on compatibility. Not just sexual chemistry.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: You need that chemistry from the start if you’re going to last. In my opinion.
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: Also, overheard you telling Meera you didn’t buy her and Alfie.
JOHNNY_EMBARRASSED: And telling her Alfie would pick you again. Maybe not the best timing, {0}.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: But it also got me thinking he’s still got a crush on you. Not great news for Meera.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Bit of an eavesdropper aren’t you?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Hard not to overhear that tea spilling!
Johnny laughs.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: And what about Dana and Gabi?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: They’re both lively and fun. And the dynamic between you, Gabi and Suresh is tasty.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Tasty?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Never seen anything like it. Gives me life!
JOHNNY_HAPPY: What? You know I live for the drama. Literally.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: But, I think Gabi’s a bit too complicated for Dana ultimately. And she’s still clearly into Suresh.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Who? Gabi or Dana?
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Gabi!
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Well, {0}. Which couple do you want to dump?
Kat and Finn
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Kat and Finn.
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: Aww, I actually weirdly think they might last. Not sure why. They’re sweet together.
JOHNNY_IDLE: But you’ve known them longer than I have. You probably get them more than I do.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Finn and Kat then?
Lulu and Suresh
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Lulu and Suresh.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Yeah, good shout. Makes sense you’d want Suresh out of here.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: I would miss Lulu, though. She’s a sweetie. But happy for you to try to dump your ex.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Glad we’re on the same page.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Me too, {0}! Think you’re making the right call.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Suresh and Lulu then?
Gabi and Dana
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I agree, it has to be Gabi and Dana.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Glad we’re on the same page. Look at how compatible we are.
JOHNNY_SAD: Still, will be sad to lose all the drama, though.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Understand why might want Gabi out of the villa, too.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Gabi and Dana then?
Arlo and Pete
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It has to be Arlo and Pete. Especially after their bust up earlier.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Not sure. I see them as a couple that’ll love to fight and make up, if you know what I mean.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Big passionate, whirlwind romance. But maybe it’ll be too much and burn out.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: You’ve known Arlo longer than I have, so happy to go with your gut on this.
PLAYER_IDLE: You’re happy voting for Arlo and Pete then?
Alfie and Meera
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I agree, it has to be Alfie and Meera.
