7 things we learnt on day 29
Snogging, snogging and more snogging took over both villas as our Islanders competed in the Raunchy Races. Boy things got STEAMY.
In other news, day 28 saw the world’s most romantic basketball metaphors, underwater snogging mishaps and the yawn OF ALL yawns. Seriously, it’s something to write home about.
So, have a good old scroll and find out EVERYTHING we learnt. You know you want to...
1. Is it a bird... is it a plane...
...Nope, it’s just Michael SPRINTING to the bedroom with Joanna! Wow, Mamber's looking more than a little shaky...
*Hearts break across the nation*
The challenge had our Islanders' competitive streaks out in full force as a whole load of snogging took over the villa. But the aim of the game was to be as FAST as possible, and Michael made sure Joanna was by his side as he ran to the bedroom for a top and tail.
If we discovered one thing during this challenge, it's that nothing moves quicker than a competitive Islander.
2. Underwater snogging might sound romantic...
...but it’s more challenging than it looks.
Clashing limbs, heads, mouths and a distinct lack of oxygen meant that Tommy's tongue ended up in Michael's mouth. Our boxer was more than happy to go to extreme (and very damp) lengths take home the win however, as he said the C-L-A-S-S-I-C line, "It is what it is."
It really is, isn't it?
3. Basketball metaphors are the best kind of metaphors
Building up to a kiss with Anna, Ovie needed a few award-worthy lines to seal the deal.
If in doubt, stick to what you know.
Our basketball player made sure his motivational monologue was a slam dunk: “I’m not here to shoot my shot in 10 different baskets and see which one I make. Nah. I wanna shoot on one basket. There’s pressure there, I’m gonna make it or not gonna make it and I’m willing to live with that.”
He shoots, he scores.
*The crowd goes wild*
4. The boys love a flex
3... 2... 1...
To infinity and beyond.
5. Doubting a future with your half-girlfriend is tiring work
We can feel this one in our hearts, souls and minds.
There's nothing more satisfying than a big ol' yawn, and Curtis has got his down to a fine art. The dancer had a lot on his mind, and we could almost see the cogs turning as he tried to make sense of his feelings for Amy.
Sidenote: Tommy chilling with Ellie-Belly has restored ALL faith in love.
6. There’s ALWAYS an audience in the Love Island villa
As you would probably expect whilst those long, hot days go by, PDA gets pretty intense in the bedroom of the Love Island villa. Maura finally had the chance to get her own back on the other Islanders as she got know Dennon better after weeks of listening to a room full of late night kisses.
Mid-snog, Amber interrupted the pair's late-night loving and exclaimed, “Are you joking or what?!”
But our Irish beauty was quick to shoot back the kind of epic comeback we live for when it comes to Maura: “Do you know the amount of times I've had to put up with it from all of you? Put up with it!” she said as the whole bedroom fell about laughing. Get it, girl.
7. Not ALL hats are good hats!
Only a few days ago Maura pretty much convinced us all that caps have magical properties and somehow make ALL men next level gorgeous. But it seems not all hats share the same capabilities...
Anna is apparently NOT a fan of this particular piece of Ovie's collection, telling the girls, “Babe, it’s an old man’s hat.”
Need some cream for that burn, Ovie? Ouch.
