9 things we learnt on day 38
And breathe...
Our Islanders weren't the only ones whose heart rates flew through the roof after day 38's antics. With a sexy sailor, a French maid and a very bedazzled carnival dancer (whose moves could make even the most poker-faced of all poker-faces blush... we're talking about you Curtis), the forecast was 100% SIZZLING with 0% chance of rain.
In other news, two new bombshells caused quite the stir, one of our dirty dancers turned out to be a secret acrobat and Anna showed us the very important ropes to being a wingwoman. Take notes, people!
There's a whole lot to get through... you better get started.
1. Beanbag vs. Bar stool
When Chris revealed he was into blondes, Anton was instantly on edge.
But just by his seating choice, our Scot showed him who was boss!
2. How to be a wingwoman 101
Amber's been unlucky in love since her time in the villa, so when Chris arrived, Anna decided it was the perfect opportunity to get her BFF back on the (dating) horse. Our matchmaker told the Beach Hut: "He seems like a friendly, nice guy. I straight away thought about Amber."
But what makes a good wingwoman?
Introductions are key: Anna was straight in there, telling Chris, "This is Amber she is single and we hope she's ready to mingle..."
Know their type on paper: Our pharmacist had that one down too as she ran through the list of requirements, "So she wants someone that's 6ft, tattooed, with piercings."
Leave the rest up to fate: With her feelings for Michael still bubbling at the surface, Amber told the girls, "I mean he ticks a couple of boxes. A couple. But not enough to constitute me cracking on with him at all."
*Waits, fingers crossed, hoping that Amber finds THE ONE*
3. Ovie's wake up song can make ANYONE a morning person.
Brb... just making this our new alarm. Who wouldn't want to wake up to that silky smooth voice every day?
4. Michael is a brave soul
When we see a wasp we scream and hide. But not our Michael... absolutely fearless.
5. Champagne + Chris = Disaster zone
This fizzy drink gave Chris a hard time not once... but TWICE!
Next time we'll make sure to get him some protective gear. The whole get-up is deffo needed, including safety goggles, gloves and obvs earplugs. Bish bash bosh, that should do the trick.
Side note: Belle revealed she's NOT a Harry Potter fan. We're glad Chris left his wand back at the villa...
6. There's a prankster causing havoc
Name something that jumps higher than Curtis being scared. We'll wait.
7. A heatwave washed over the villa
Maura put all her cards on the table as she tried to get Curtis's heart RACING. She went all in with her performance of a lifetime...
Still bewildered from the whole experience, Curtis told the Beach Hut that our Irish firecracker left him "Speechless. Very speechless."
Someone get some ice water. Stat.
8. The boys were SHOOK.
If this isn't an accurate representation of the nation's reaction to Maura's dance, we don't know what is.
9. There's an undercover acrobat
With roly-polys, kick ups AND cartwheels, Chris put our primary school gymnastics routine to shame. The nimble fella truly invested his heart and soul in the performance, telling the Beach Hut: "I went for some high-risk moves." And boy did it pay off.
Belle was very, VERY impressed by Chris's commitment: "We got a gymnast in the building b****!"
Someone get the man a leotard, he'll be off to the Olympics before we know it.
