9 things we learnt on day 43
Wow. Things got REAL...
Drama filled the Island Club as Joanna and Michael were torn apart, and the Islanders chose to save Michael, leaving Joanna dumped from the Island. Meanwhile, we were taught that the OMG face is real, a Mamber reunion is CATEGORICALLY not on the cards, and Curtis's talent for neck clicking is pretty impressive. Oh, and him and Maura are ON.
Take a look at everything we learnt!
1. This is the saddest group hug EVER
The Islanders got their heads in the game as they deliberated over whether to send Joanna or Michael home, splitting the cosy couple up in the process.
Sidenote: Imagine having arms long enough to give four people a li'l bit of comfort AT THE SAME TIME. Ovie really is something else!
2. Joanna is a no-nonsense kinda gal
This moment was oh-so-awkward and we were literally left gasping.
Although Michael made it clear that he has found what he's looking for in Joanna, he didn't say he'd leave the villa to be with her, which did not go down well with the pocket rocket. On her way out, Joanna walked straight past him, giving Belle a massive hug as she left the Island on bad terms with our fireman.
3. If you've ever wondered what OMG looks like, it's this.
Seriously. This is it.
4. Waking up without Joanna left Michael heartbroken
Can someone run and give him a hug, please?!
Through his tears, Michael told the Beach Hut: “It feels like you’ve known them for a lot longer than you actually have, and then it’s kind of taken away from you. It’s just tough.” We're really feeling for him rn, but will Joanna be willing to make amends on the outside after that awks exit?
5. Our fireman put his phone to good use...
Filed under: "Most heart-wrenching moments of ALL time."
6. Curtis made the nation WINCE
Hold up... we're still cringing.
Our dancer could win neck clicker of the year, but he gave us a bad case of the heebie-jeebies.
7. Ovie really is living his best life
This basketball player has a lot up his sleeve.
Ovie literally has a dance for every single time of day:
The brekkie jive
The toothbrush dab
The recoupling whoa catch
The ironing robot
We aspire to be this level of chill at ALL times.
8. Curtis said the F-word
Ah... not that kinda F-word.
We've ALL been there. It's the classic moment when your crush gently slips you into the friend zone. Hands up if you can relate.
The love triangle was officially over as Curtis chose Maura, telling Francesca: "I think you are an amazing person, and I’d love to be your friend." Tbh, he really couldn't have been any lovelier about the awkward sitch.
Francesca took it like a champ, laughing away: “It’s fine, how could you not like Maura? I can handle it, I’m a big girl.” What a woman.
9. Mamber is 100% over
If you're a Mamber fan plz grab a tissue before reading this. We're not playing...
Michael pulled Amber for a chat to set the record straight. Ovie watched from the distance, telling Chris: “He’s in a sort of take no prisoners mind frame right now.” Ooh, wish Amber luck.
There was no tiptoeing around, as Michael quickly told Amber that he sees a future with Joanna, telling the boys: “I feel like a bit of a savage... because last time it was left open-ended there was loads of speculation." It's always best to nip things in the bud.
But Amber wasn't happy about how Michael handled the situation: “I need to carry on being myself which is exactly what I'm gonna do, and not let people like that affect me.”
It looks like these two probs won't be bezzie mates anytime soon.
