7 things we learnt on day 49
It really was a whirlwind 24 hours. Whilst one couple made things official, another was sent packing...
Day 49 brought a whole lot of romance as Jordan planned the perfect girlfriend proposal for Anna. There literally wasn't a dry eye in sight... or dry anything really as salmons began to jump into the pool left, right and centre. Meanwhile, we discovered that Tommy has hidden fashion gems locked away and the Islanders are living in dog years rn. Seriously, they've just reached their second birthday after almost two months in the villa.
Bring out the B-day cake, and take a look at everything we learnt...
1. Villa time = Dog years
Harley and Chris have officially known each other for four days. So you know what that means... things are getting serious!
We can always count on Chris to have something up his sleeve, and he taught us that in dog years, he's spent 28 days with Harley.
Sparks were flying between our new couple, so Chris revealed: "I'm not very good at telling people I fancy them, but I am pretty good at showing people I fancy them." What. A. Line. And just like that, Harley and Chris had their first kiss.
*The villa erupts into cheers*
2. We can all use a little help from our friends
As Jordan was telling the boys about his master plan to ask Anna a very important question, Chris noticed the girls had a watchful eye over their convo and saved the day: "There's one more problem. What are we talking about right now? Because everyone's looking at us..."
Our boys came up with the perfect diversion, as Chris said: "To end this situation now, let's all give Michael a pat on the legs."
And if you thought his tactics would never work, you'd be wrong...
...Amber spotted the boys congratulating Michael and was instantly on edge: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They're having a group hug with Michael." Wow, that was a long wait.
Our Irish firecracker began to speculate: "Oh my god he's gonna try and kiss you."
Mission accomplished.
3. There's only one way to celebrate
The pool is there for a reason. And it's not just for swimming!
4. Greg and Amber had a very private first kiss...
...Well, about as private as you can get in a bedroom full of Islanders.
Greg wanted to make the moment special, so he waited to kiss Amber without any wandering eyes catching on...
...Although nobody spotted them, Michael's ears pricked up as he listened away. Awks.
5. Jordan's racking up the bf points already...
Seriously. This man can do no wrong.
Can you name a better way to wake up than having somebody bring you an iced coffee? Because we're pretty sure it tops the list.
Jordan's cuteness level is off the charts, even Anna was overwhelmed: "Oh my god, I'm obsessed with him now." We are too, tbh.
6. Tommy's fashion collection blew us away
What are those? And why haven't we seen them before?!
It looks like Ovie might have competition for his crown as the king of fashion because Tommy is really pulling it out of the bag.
We're still heartbroken that Curtis didn't decide to wear these on his first date with Maura.
7. The air has been fully cleared
The Islanders made the tough decision to dump Michael and Francesca from the villa, but before he left, Michael had something very important to tell Amber.
Although he had doubts about Greg and Amber's compatibility, Michael had a change of heart: "After seeing yous more, I actually do see it working. I see how happy he makes you, and it makes me happy, seeing it make you happy." Too. Cute.
Amber told the Beach Hut: "He's a lovely guy. He made a few mistakes, but he did not have to pull me for that conversation at all. It wasn't necessary to have that, but it meant so much." We couldn't be happier that these two ended everything on a good note!
