Love Island, Series 9 (2023) - Week 4 Review

Updated: Apr 9, 2023

Hey everyone! My Week 4 review of Love Island is below!


At the beginning of the week we found out that the three guys who were at risk of being dumped from the villa were Spencer, Aaron and Kai and Maya Jama asked the girls to have a chat before deciding who to dump. Jessie said that Aaron was one of her closest friends, with Lana adding that he's real, and Samie questioning whether somebody could come in and be his perfect match. Tanyel said that she started to have a connection with Spencer, with Olivia replying by saying that it doesn't mean Spencer can't turn his head. Tanyel said that Kai had moved his head and been disrespectful in the way that he did it. Samie added that Spencer has had less time getting to know someone, but Kai had now finally found something with someone. In the end it was over to Olivia to reveal their decision, and she said 'both are in here for genuine reasons, but there is a stronger connection that has formed over the last few days' and she said that Aaron and Spencer had been dumped. Tanya said to Spencer that everything happens for a reason, and she asked the girls who is she going to couple up with now. Olivia mentioned that Tanyel was talking about new men even when Spencer hadn't actually left the villa yet. Will said to Aaron that he would give him his postcode is he wanted to visit the farm, and Spencer said that it was tough to leave, but Aaron added that for them, one door has been closed, but another door will open.


Kai said that it wasn't a nice feeling seeing the guys going, but Ron mentioned that his connection with Olivia was a lot better than what Spencer had with Tanyel. Tanyel said to Tanya that she hoped someone would come in for her, and Olivia told Kai to never change himself, adding that he is great. Tanyel mentioned to Lana that Olivia has had different options in the villa, and this time it should have been what Tanyel wanted. In the morning, Ellie admitted that emotions were running high after last night's events, and Tanyel said to the girls that they shouldn't be in a decision where they are voting against eachother. Ellie was ready to recouple and Samie said she was happy for Kai to go for Olivia, because she wanted Tom. Shaq said to Kai that Olivia makes her a little bit nervous, with Ron telling the boys that Samie wanted a proper answer about the Lana situation, with Tom adding that Ron has not been 100% honest with Lana about the situation. Casey said it was nice getting to know Lana, with Shaq replying by saying that he is going about it the right way and not doing anything wrong. Olivia told the girls that she has now found Kai and hopes to have a cuddle in the evening. Kai spoke to Olivia and said he was upset about being in the bottom three again, and that he wouldn't have been able to continue exploring if he would have left the villa. He said that Olivia makes him feel nervous but that he is comfortable around her.


Shaq told Ron that he needed to create a gap between himself and Samie, adding that he would be shocked if Lana was to go forward with Casey. Ellie said to Jordan that she was happy he was exempt from being dumped, and they agreed that they should spend more time together. Jordan said that he felt like she was holding back, and she replied by saying that she was in demand. Tanyel said to Samie that she doesn't feel good, with Samie reminding her that she's never going to be alone. Samie also told Tanyel about the comment Olivia made about what she'd said before Spencer left, and Tanyel replied by saying that for anyone who knows her, they know that she was making a joke. Olivia noticed that Ron and Lana were wearing matching outfits before their chat, and he said that he would have been upset if he was to have left the villa, and they weren't able to share the experience together. She said she was glad when his name was called and Ron added that he's hoping there would have been a recoupling. Tom told Samie that he was starting to like her a lot, with Samie adding that she was not attracted to or wanting to get to know anyone else in the villa.


Casey and Lana both asked eachother if their Mum's would like the other one, and they both said yes. Lana said to Casey that him and Ron are both entitled to get to know new people as that's currently what she's doing. Casey said that why would he try and force something to know he has something strong, adding that he wouldn't mess it up. Lana giggled as she felt like that comment was a dig at Ron. Samie got a text and it was the girls who would be deciding who they wanted to couple up with. Lana said that she felt a lot of pressure and Ron said that he just wanted her to be happy. Before the recoupling, Casey asked the boys if he should wear white jeans with Ron disapproving straightaway, and then when he remembered he was in battle with Casey to win over Lana, he suggested that Casey should wear the jeans. Ron said to Kai that this was the biggest night of his villa experience so far, and if he was to end up in another friendship couple, he may leave the villa. Kai added that if Lana picked Casey, he had to move on. Tom pulled Lana for a chat and said that she's like a sister to him in the villa and he didn't want to see her get hurt, adding that Ron hasn't been honest with her. He added that Casey's intentions are genuine, and that people often take advantage of nice people.


Tanyel also had a quick chat with Olivia about the comment she made regarding Tanyel, and Tanyel said that she makes jokes at the wrong time, with Olivia saying that sometimes she doesn't know when Tanyel is making a joke or being serious, adding that she would not be talking about her behind her back. Will said he was nervous for Casey and he said to Will that he would be happy if Lana chose him, and if she was to choose Ron, he would be able to leave with his head held high. Olivia asked Jessie and Ellie who Tanyel was going to pick, and Olivia mentioned that she was having a chat with Jordan. Ellie said that it would be a bit low for Tanyel to couple up with Jordan, as Ellie has just had a break, adding that there would be carnage. In the recoupling, Jessie chose Will, Tanya chose Shaq, Ellie chose Jordan, Samie chose Tom and Olivia chose Kai. The final girl to choose was Lana, and she said that she was fighting between her head and her heart, and that tonight's choice was to go with her gut. We found out that Lana coupled up with Casey, and that left a shocked expression on everyone's face!



At the beginning of this episode, Casey walked over to Lana, and it was over to Tanyel to reveal who she was going to be coupling up with. She said that she felt like she's got a bit of home with Ron, and he said that he did not expect that decision at all. Tanyel reminded Ron that he was the best person in the villa, with Ron saying that I'll let him either mess up or not mess up. Lana had a chat with Olivia and Ellie, and Olivia said that she was proud of Lana for what she did. Lana questioned why she wouldn't give Casey a chance, adding that she's not closing any doors, she's just giving somebody a little bit of extra time. Kai told Ron that at least the situation is over and he can now focus, with Tanyel telling Lana that Ron didn't want to speak to her, with Tanyel saying that he was putting on a brave face. Lana went over to the boys to ask Ron to go for a chat and he said that he wasn't ready for a chat. Ron decided to pull Casey for a chat, with Lana asking why he wanted to speak to Casey before her. He said that Casey had a good one, and to not do what Ron did, adding that he should know how special she is. Casey said that it could have gone either way. Casey told Lana that he was happy she picked him, and she said that she was also happy, with Casey adding that he can now focus all of his energy and attention to Lana.


Shaq told Will that he had a lot of time for Will and Jessie, and Shaq also told Tanya that even if things don't work for Lana and Casey, it would teach Ron a lesson, saying that he deserved it. He also said that Tanya's speech was short and sweet, describing her as beautiful, kind and intelligent. He also liked their honesty and how they carry themselves. Olivia said to Lana that if he made you feel a certain way in the last few days, then it right for her to choose him, and Lana said that she was trying not to go upstairs as it would seem a little bit awkward. Tom told Ron to not give up with Lana, but to just think about his next move, and we saw Casey carrying Tanya to bed. Ron told Tanyel before bed that he thinks that Lana has made a stupid decision. In the morning, Casey said he was happy to be in the bedroom with everyone rather than being downstairs, adding that it was nice to be away from the triangle. Samie asked Lana that if Ron closed things off, what she would do, and Ron told the boys that if he wants to pursue someone, then he will, telling Casey that he may have lost the battle but he hasn't lost the war. Jordan said it was a nice short speech from Ellie, and Kai said that he couldn't stop smiling, with all the boys smiling back at him.


Lana told Ron that she doesn't like upsetting him, and that picking Casey just gave her a few extra days to get to know him. She added that she spent a lot of days being upset and she doesn't want to go back into a couple with Ron, pretending everything is ok. Ron said that the recoupling was the chance to put things back, and Lana added that they're not married off. Ron said that every time they've not been in a couple, they seem to be distancing from eachother a little bit further, and he said that part of her thinks that she knows she's messed up. Lana told Tanyel and Samie that if she wouldn't have chosen Casey, she wouldn't know how Ron would have reacted, and said that she wanted it back. Lana also said that she couldn't sleep and was awake all night. Tanyel told Lana that if she doesn't feel it, she can't just force something with someone because they're a nice person. Jordan said that he wanted to see if there was something between himself and Ellie, adding that they needed to spend more time together. He made her granola and bananas for breakfast, and Ellie told him that when she first came in everything was very rushed, but it's nice to let something progress naturally. Samie also told Tom that she loves the heat but she couldn't be in the pool all day, with Tom offering to give her a quick swimming lesson. She said that she had a good night last night, adding that her and Tom were both opening up to eachother every time they speak.


The boys were then competing in a challenge called 'Ladiators'. Shaq said that gladiators are good looking guys with muscles and Jessie said that all of the boys looked amazing. The aim of the challenge was for the boys to start with a cheeky royal line, throw a stone, choose a girl and have a romantic kiss on a throne. Kai chose Olivia, Will chose Jessie, who said that his twerking was a lot better than hers, asking whether she should be concerned. Shaq picked Tanya and Jordan picked Ellie, with Ellie stating that the challenge was iconic. Tom picked Samie, with his line 'there's no match for a Yorkshire man', and Olivia got a little bit wet from a piece of the set. Casey picked Lana, and said that his kiss with Lana was as expected. Ron also chose Lana, with Lana saying that it was nice that Ron fought for her, adding that she can be with her Prince, but she'll be with the real King soon. The winner of the challenge was Shaq. Ron told Tom that the challenge was funny and Tom added that it was the girls decision. Ron said that he can't be waiting around forever. Lana said she was happy Ron chose her in the challenge, with Tanyel adding that she thought Ton would still be angry. Lana added that she also held back a tiny bit with Casey


Tanyel mentioned to Lana and Samie that Olivia wasn't happy with Samie pouring water on Olivia, with Samie saying that she was creating a problem out of nothing, when it was just a joke. Olivia also mentioned the water situation to Tanya, saying that if she was as close to Tanyel as she makes out to be, she would have spoken to Olivia. Olivia added that she feels like Samie is trying to turn Tanyel and Olivia against eachother. Casey told some of the Islanders including Jordan, Will, Jessie and Kai that he was living free in Ron's head, with Jordan telling him to nip it in the bud and get clarity on the situation. Casey said to Ron that it was sly that he was moving back towards Lana again, with Ron saying that the challenges are about having fun. Casey mentioned that it felt like Ron's intentions were still there to get to know Lana. Ron said that there is no one else in the villa that e has a connection with, with Casey replying by saying that his understanding was that Ron and Lana were done. Ron made it clear that he liked Lana but he was going to leave it up to her what she decides to do next, with Casey saying 'Good' and looking into the distance.



At the beginning of the episode, Lana explained to Tanyel that she likes Casey but wanted to be honest that she still fancies Ron. Casey said to the other boys that he knew he wasn't going to be the tallest in the villa so he had to make sure he had abs. Tom told the boys that he wanted to try and kiss Samie outside of a challenge. Casey and Lana had a quick chat where she said that the situation isn't resolved between her and Casey, adding that her heart is still with someone else, and she can't help how she feels. Casey replied by saying it was difficult for him to come into the villa, putting his focus on one person, with Lana replying that she was a good wing woman, hinting that the two of them were not going to work out. Casey told Tom and Jordan that he had kind of been friend zoned, and Lana mentioned to Tanyel and Samie that she had her feelings clear to Casey, with Tanyel saying that at least he put all of his efforts into one person. Tom questioned whether Lana had actually given it a go with Casey. Casey also said it's going to annoy him how smug Ron will be about the situation, with Will adding the comment 'her loss'.


Jordan and Tanyel also had a quick chat where Tanyel said that Lana owed it to herself to choose someone else to see if there was a connection there. She said to Jordan that she felt like he wasn't attracted to Ellie, with Jordan saying that she's not his usual type on the outside world. Ellie said to Shaq and Tanya that it was funny that Jordan had pulled Tanyel for a chat, adding that this is one of the things that annoys her, with Tanya adding that 'boys will be boys'. Tanyel told the girls that she wasn't sure if she fancied Jordan because he's not cheeky enough for her. Samie told Tom that he was the only guy that looked good wearing a Gladiator outfit, and told Tom that he was allowed to kiss her outside of a challenge, with Tom asking her why she had gone all red. Ron and Lana spoke about their situation, with Lana saying that she was sad because Ron wasn't in her bed, with Ron admitting that they have both had tests and now they want to give it a go. Tom told Kai that Lana had ended things with Casey, and after Ron and Lana shared a kiss near the firepit, Tom said that he wouldn't have done that if he was Lana, with Casey telling some of the boys about her offer to be his wing woman. After seeing them kiss, Casey said 'are they taking the mick'. Shaq told Casey that he shouldn't feel bad for being himself.


We found out that Will and Jessie would be the second couple in the hideaway, with Tanya giving one of her sexy outfits to Jessie, telling her that she needs it more than Tanya does. Will was on his hands and knees begging for Jessie's love, and they both began trying on the different outfits and accessories. Ron said to the boys that he thinks Will will be dancing around like it's no-one's business. Olivia pulled Samie for a chat, but before she could say anything, Samie said that she loved Olivia to bits, and Olivia asked her to hear her out, saying that she didn't like Samie sharing the comment that Olivia made about Tanyel and Spencer in the girls room, followed up with the water incident in the Gladiator challenge earlier on in the day. Samie replied by saying that she had nothing against her, and knows now that Olivia is a sensitive soul and that she had learnt from the situation. Casey also pulled Lana for a chat and said that he didn't appreciate the wing woman comment, with Casey saying that he saw Ron and Lana sharing kisses and cuddling in front of his face, with Lana saying that she didn't think he was there. Ron also wanted to pull Casey for a chat and he replied by saying 'We've got nothing to say to eachother'. Lana said it would be sensible for her to sleep on the daybed tonight, and Tanyel said to her that she needed to speak to Casey about the situation, with Olivia adding that it would b better to hear it from her than one of the other girls, and Jessie told Will that she was glad her and Will got to come into the hideaway. Casey decided that he was going to sleep on the daybed and that meant Lana could stay in the bedroom!


Ron and Lana had a cuddle in the bed and questioned how long it had been since they were able to do that, with Ron saying to some of the girls that Lana had found a way back home. Ron asked Tanyel if that meant they couldn't spoon anymore, and Tanyel said 'of course we can, we're besties'. In the morning we saw Will and Jessie giving a cuddle to Casey, and Will told Shaq that he thought him and Jessie were both seeing themselves falling in love with eachother, with Jessie telling the girls they were getting stronger, and had something unique. Tom said that he was getting on really well with Samie, Jordan was stating to get to know Tanyel and Tanyel said that she wasn't sure if there was something romantic there with Jordan. Ron said that he was happy with Lana but wanted to be respectful of Casey, with Shaq telling Ron that he could have waited a least a day before kissing Lana, Jessie and Tanya had a quick girls chat where they told one another that they both slept with their partners in the hideaway, with Jessie adding that it makes her more confident about what they have. Ron and Lana agreed that Casey was acting a little differently with him and that Ron talks a lot of running. They also said that every time they talk to eachother, they felt as if they were being watched. Ron added that he's not dealt with the situation because he's obviously still hurt. Casey told Ron that he felt like Ron hasn't been respectful, adding that he didn't need to see them both kissing. He told the camera that he doesn't trust Ron, as he says one thing, and doesn't follow up with his actions.


Shaq got a text that the next challenge was boys v girls in the pulse racing challenge. Tanyel said to Tanya that she has to behave, adding that she was personally excited for this challenge. Olivia said to the girls that they are not getting the ick tonight. For the boys, it was cabin crew member Shaq who was up first with Tanya saying 'that's my man', followed by Cowboy Casey who was 'quick but great' according to Lana, with Casey feeling like he was in Magic Mike. Up next was Tom the dark angel with Samie commenting that once he looked at everyone it was game over, with Olivia adding that he knows what to do with his eyes. Will the sailor was next, with Olivia saying 'Wow' and Jessie adding that he was the sexiest sailor that she had ever seen. Rugby player Jordan was next with Tanyel saying that he got his hips moving, Soldier Kai made Olivia realise that she could indeed love him more. Ellie thought he put a whistle in her mouth and Tanya said that he has a small bum, but it jiggles. After builder Ron's performance, Tanyel said she loved it and that he was her winner, with Olivia saying that she didn't know Ron was going to fling her around.


For the girls, Olivia was wearing a tight black ring girl outfit with comments from the boys including Will saying 'I loved it', Tom adding that 'she set the bar high' especially with the biting of the ear, Shaq commenting 'yeah...', Kai says that he 'had no words the whole time' and Ron commenting 'insane'. Ellie was a black cat, with Kai saying she was on it, Jordan said it was cute to receive a kiss and Casey saying that he wasn't usually a cat person, but she smashed her performance. Lana was in a red dress with Kai saying that she definitely was a pocket rocket, and she admitted that she was glad she done it. Tanya was a clear who was going to clear up the mess, with Shaq saying he wanted to make a mess. Kai added that it was a proper treat for Shaq, and it wasn't PG. Samie was also dressed up as a dark angel with Will calling her 'sexy Samie'. She licked Casey's body and said 'it was out', with the performance leaving Tom speechless. Will told Tanyel to clap those cheeks, and she told Ron that he was getting it. She added that she shook her bum as much as she could. Finally it was pink cowgirl Jessie who started her performance with the splits, with Jordan saying she had a lot of energy and Casey saying that he got a kiss on the cheek which he wasn't going to be wiping off. At the end of the challenge when the boys were asking for more, a new girl wearing red wings walked in the villa and we were going to find out more about her in the next episode!



New girl Claudia definitely made a good first impression for the boys and Olivia said that all she could see was a blonde girl with red wings, adding that she was hot. Jordan said that she had a lot of confidence to do what she did, with Casey adding that it was a bloody shock, saying that she is his perfect type. We saw Tom cheering, and Claudia revealed that she was from Blackburn and she's not very quiet. When she said she was 28 years old, Olivia said she was happy that she wasn't the oldest in the villa anymore and Tanyel told her to shut up. Ron said that new girl Claudia would be on job, and asked Ron how his situation with Lana was, to which he replied with 'I'm settled' and she replied by saying '...for now'. In the end we found out who raised whose heart the most with the results as follows... Kai (Lana), Tom (Olivia), Will (Jessie), Jordan (Ellie), Ron (Claudia), Shaq (Tanya) and Casey (Claudia), and for the girls... Jessie (Casey), Tanya (Tom), Samie (Will), Ellie (Shaq), Olivia (Will), Tanyel (Ron) and Lana (Casey). In the end we found out that hearts were raised the most by the girls. Claudia told Ellie, Jessie and Casey that she was very nervous when she came in, adding that she's not really a dancer but she is ready to settle. Ellie hinted to Jessie that they should go off and get some toast, to allow Casey and Claudia some time to themselves. Claudia told him that she will go for someone genuine, career driven and somebody who can make her laugh, with Casey replying by saying 'talk about perfect timing'.


Ron and Lana had a chat, where he said that the situation is outrageous but he loves it, adding that there is no way he is going to talk to the new girl. Samie said that she felt like everyone put 100% into the challenge. Tanyel told Ron that the new girl that he was settled 'for now', and Casey mentioned to Kai in the bedroom that he recognised Claudia from Instagram, saying that she's Carl Fogarty's daughter (previous winner of I'm A Celebrity!). In the morning, Will asked Jessie to brush his hair, Casey explained that Claudia sent hearts racing, asking Ron, 'didn't she?' and Claudia told the girls that she was a little bit more relaxed after yesterday's events. Ellie said that Shaq and Will were good, with Olivia adding that Casey was an underdog, not an 'under horse' according to Lana. Tom said 'what an entrance' and Ron admitted that she was a good looking girl, but he was in enough trouble as it is. Tanya asked Claudia what she's looking for, with Ellie adding if she had a specific type, and she said someone with blue eyes and long hair (kind of describing Casey). Tanyel told Jordan that she loves the sun and always gets hungry when she thinks about being in the villa, adding that she is quite spontaneous with people she feels comfortable with, with Jordan saying that as a Taurus he feels like he overthinks everything. Tom told Claudia that things with him and Samie are going really well but he still needs to explore. Claudia told him that she was very family orientated and that if you're dating her, you're dating her whole family. Tom said that he is looking for someone to have a laugh with, adding that looks fade over time, and Claudia said that she finds herself funny, so she needs someone else that she can have a laugh with.


Tanyel told some of the Islanders that she will be honest and say that Jordan is not cheeky enough with Shaq saying that they didn't speak after their first date. Claudia also had a chat with Casey and he said he is finally back to his normal self, with Claudia telling him that he seems like a respectful guy, but had his confidence knocked. Claudia got a date and she was able to take two boys on a date with her, and she chose Tom and Casey. Casey said to the boys that he was very excited to get out of the villa, and Will added that it was his fourth date since entering. Claudia said that she wouldn't kiss on a first date, where Ellie said it was something that she would do. Tom told Claudia that she looked unbelievable and it was nice to have two very nice views, adding that her entrance into the villa was the best he had ever seen. He asked her straightaway if she fancied him and she revealed that he was very warming and had good eye contact. Tom said that southerners don't know what they're doing. Tom added that he is also close to his family and recognised that her Dad was Carl Fogarty. He also said that the more you speak to someone, you begin to fancy them more. Samie told Jessie and Tanya before he went on the date with Claudia, he whispered in her ear and said 'you'll be fine'. She added that Claudia is a lot older than Tom and he likes mature women, saying that she thinks she might like him a little bit more.


On Claudia's date with Casey, he apologised for being late, as a joke, adding that she had a great taste in men. She complimented his smile and eyes, and said that she hasn't spoken to everyone yet but she was definitely drawn to Casey. They both did a cheers for the Love Island journey starting now that they had met eachother. Casey also told Claudia that he wanted someone to match his energy, saying that she came into the villa at the right time and that he believes in 'things happen for a reason'. He also said that this was the best date he had been on after Claudia asked what his perfect date looked like. Shaq asked Olivia what she thought about the Jordan and Tanyel situation, with them both agreeing that Jordan was putting a lot more effort into her, and Tanyel wasn't feeling it. Olivia said that it's almost similar to the situation of Tanyel and Spencer...saying that she's now a bit weary about Tanyel's behaviour with guys. Olivia went on to say that if a bombshell walks in, she would drop Jordan straightaway. Claudia told the girls that both of her dates were beautiful, with mountain view tops, looking onto the sea. She said that Tom made her laugh and was a cheeky chappy, and he said to the girls that they had lots in common, and how she acts is similar to his perfect type on the outside. She said that Casey makes her smile, and that they both have different qualities. Casey said he has finally found a girl he gets on with so well and that he needed this, especially after the difficult situation with Lana. Samie asked which of her dates was the best, and she admitted that the chat flew a little bit better with Casey.


In the girls room, Samie questioned whether Carl Fogarty was Claudia's Dad, and said 'oh that's really cool', and Claudia did a cheers for all of the Islanders to find love. Shaq and Tanya had a chat with Jordan, with Shaq saying that he would need the same energy from a girl if it was going to work. Tanya said that although Tanyel was her best friend in the villa, she knows Tanyel is a slow burner and that there is nobody in the villa at the moment that she likes. Jordan said that you never know what's around the corner, and I think he hinted that there isn't much time, and you just have to make decisions quickly. Tom told Samie that she is his perfect type on the outside, and getting to know Claudia, isn't important to him, if he already has a good connection with someone. He added that he thinks Samie is a slow burner but he wants to find someone. She added that she missed him when he went away onto his date. Claudia told Casey that if someone can make her smile, then it's good, and she told Casey that they are both similar, but Tom makes her laugh and Casey makes her smile. Tanyel had a girls chat with Olivia, Lana and Jessie and said once again that she didn't feel like the cheekiness was there from Jordan but he had a great personality. Olivia asked her if Jordan was the only guy she would be interested in getting to know, and she replied by saying 'kind of'. At the end of the show, we found out that there was going to be a recoupling where the boys would be choosing, and the girl not chosen would be dumped from the villa.



At the beginning of the episode, the boys were choosing who to couple with. Tom chose Samie, Shaq chose Tanya, Ron chose Lana, Casey chose Claudia, Kai chose Olivia and Will chose Jessie. It was up to Jordan whether he wanted to choose Ellie or Tanyel, and he said that although the girl he was coupling up with was in a platonic friendship right now, he wanted to give her the chance to speak to other people and see if there was a connection for her. He chose Ellie, and that meant Tanyel was dumped from the island. Ron said to Tanyel that he wouldn't have been able to do the journey without her. Olivia asked Tanyel where all of her stuff was and she said 'everywhere'. When she left the villa she said that the didn't force anything and that she stayed true to herself. Lana told Ron that she was glad she was able to be with him on the night that Tanyel has gone, with Ron adding that Tanyel means the world to him. Casey mentioned to Shaq, Will and Tom that the boys were starting to segregate from eachother, with Shaq saying that after he and Tom had called out Ron on the Lana drama, they've become more distant. Casey also said that he called Ron out on the 'being respectful' comment he made as well. Ron told Kai that this drama was making him not enjoy his time in the villa, as the best part was being with the boys, and Jessie said that it was a crazy night. Ron said to the boys that he was super happy but he lost his best mate for it, and Olivia told Ellie that her journey is not over at all. We saw Ron and Lana, Tom and Samie and Shaq and Tanya all snogging in their couples before they all went to sleep.


In the morning, Kai said it's always unexpected when someone goes, and Casey offered to make Claudia a coffee. Ron said that it wasn't nice seeing Tanyel go, and Ellie told the girls that she's not going to try and continue getting to know Jordan after that speech, with Jordan telling the boys that Ellie deserves a chance to find someone. Ron told the boys that he felt like there was a divide and Casey said that they should share their emotions during their morning discussions. Kai said to Ron that Casey always seems to be trying to find an issue, and Ron hoped that after the morning conversation, the drama was over. Kai added by saying there are definitely people he wouldn't speak to on the outside but he had to tolerate it in the villa. Casey got a text that the boys would be cooking a three course meal for the girls, with Olivia saying that she might get food poisoning and Tom stating that he can't cook. Casey asked Will how he helps with dinner at home, and he said that he just sits at the table and waits for his Dad to cook for him. The starter course was bruschetta and Will, Casey and Tom became the waiters as they were not helpful in the kitchen. When Will brought over the food to Jessie, she said it was a beautiful date, and then he spilt a drink on the table.


Claudia told Casey that she doesn't want anything forced and he added that he felt like they had know eachother for longer. Ellie asked Jordan if it was chaos in the kitchen, and he replied by saying that with people messing around, of course it was chaos. Ellie said that it would have been worse if the girls would have cooked. Tanya told Shaq that he makes her nervous, and she had to wear her wine and dine outfit, which was their favourite colour. Ron told Lana that this was their first date in four weeks, with Lana adding that it now feels nice to share a bed, and Ron adding that there was a lot of 'Tom foolery' in the kitchen, which Lana thought was about Tom being foolish...when it just means messing around! Olivia told Kai that she didn't realise she would get to know him in this way and Kai said that he was just for her. During the main course, the boys made steak and vegetables (with a side salad), and Claudia asked Olivia what Kai was doing to help prepare the food as he was just standing there looking pretty, and he said that he was on salad duty. Samie said that she has the best guy in the restaurant and was filming some of the boys cooking. Will's evening entertainment was him dancing on the floor with his tongue out and Ron and Lana agreed that life for them on the outside would be different, with Jessie telling Will that she wants marriage and kids with the right person, but is scared of divorce.


Tom said to Samie that he would put in the time and wait for her to be ready, to which she replied to by saying that she wants someone who is genuine, talks about their feelings and always questions 'what is the catch?' as this had led her to ending previous relationships. For dessert, it was chocolate cake with Will on entertainment duty again and Shaq commenting that he loves this guy. Claudia said that Casey didn't cook any of the food and had a lot to prove, with Samie telling Tom not to quit his day job anytime soon to become a chef. We also saw Jessie feeding Will a strawberry. After food, Ron was talking to Lana, Tanya and Samie near the firepit with Shaq asking him to come over and help with cleaning the plates, and Ron saying 'there's enough of you over there'. Shaq came from the kitchen and stood in front of the firepit, asking Ron to help clean the plates (again), with Tanya saying that Shaq was too much. Lana felt like the chat wasn't even about the washing up with Tanya saying that there was already friction between Ron and Shaq. Olivia told Lana and Ron that she was happy the two girls were close and that Ron had Kai, with Ron saying that he's not going to allow this situation to be a thing in here. Lana said that Tanya was going to talk to Shaq about the situation which Ron wasn't happy about. Ellie told the girls that there was tension brewing in the kitchen and Tom scared Samie at the bottom of the stairs before heading to the bedroom. At the end of the episode we were told to vote for our favourite couples, with the least compatible couples at risk of being dumped!



The final episode of Week 4 and Casey started off the episode by asking if the girls were impressed with the boys cooking skills from the night before. Olivia mentioned that she had to send the food back and Samie said that her dinner was hard. Casey told the boys that he had his first kiss outside of the challenge and also kissed Claudia in bed. Claudia told the girls that the situation is so fresh and it's still early days. Tom said to the boys that him and Samie are starting to like eachother, with Samie telling the girls that they are both happy where they are going. Lana said that the food was bang average but everything else has been great. Ron told Kai that he mentioned to Lana that he was falling from her, adding that last night was the person night to talk to her. Shaq mentioned to Ron that they used to be very close but seemed to be growing further apart. Ron said it was probably to do with the Casey situation, adding that if felt like the boys had only known him for a few days and they were all taking Casey's side. Shaq replied and said that the most important thing was that Lana was happy. Shaq went over to have a chat with Tanya and Lana, and Tanya mentioned that telling Ron to come and help in the kitchen the first time was fine, but after the second time he should have just left it. Shaq said that it was because everyone else was washing up and he was just sitting there and having chats with the girls. Lana added that it didn't look like the chat was anything to do with the kitchen, with Tanya saying that it was embarrassing for Ron, and that he's not a little boy.


Shaq said to Tanya that he felt like he was being double teamed, with Tanya saying that Lana was sitting next to her when the event happened. The girls received a message that they were going to have a girls day out to gossip and drink cocktails and left the villa, with Will asking 'what do we do now?'. Tanya did a cheers to girly time and wanting men, not needing men, with Lana adding that she felt like a bit of time away from the boys was needed. Ellie said that Jordan is a lovely boy but they're not clicking, and she felt like it was happening one boy after the other, adding that she wanted to be around the girls now. Olivia said that normally when she gets to this stage, she would run away, and Lana said that you have to go through hurdles to get through to the other side, saying that Ron will prove all of the girls Ron, and she hopes that this time he remains loyal to her. Samie added that her and Tom both feel comfortable with eachother, with Tanya saying that they're going to have good looking babies. Claudia told the girls that she finally had her first kiss with Casey and Tanya said that she is still learning about Shaq, saying that when you meet someone, you see their best impression and once you dive into their layers you see every side of them, and she said that there are some things that he does which could potentially give her the ick.


Tom and Kai both told eachother that neither of their heads will turn, with Casey joining the situation and saying that he's only known Claudia for 2 days, and he's not going to say his head won't turn, because anything can happen. Shaq told Will about the situation with Ron, and Will said that he has good morals, with Shaq replying by saying that bringing someone into their conversation to tell him off made him feel like he was being treated as a child. Lana mentioned to the girls, that the girls seem to be a lot stronger than the boys, with Tanya saying that there seems to be friction between Ron and Shaq, with Shaq constantly going for him. Tanya added that she knows Shaq is very straightforward but he does it too much, and Jessie said that she was glad that the girls are sticking together. Kai told Ron he was missing the girls, and Claudia told Casey that they were discussing the Ron and Shaq situation. Olivia said that the dynamic of the girls is really good, and Tanya said to Shaq that it was nice to have some time away, which led to an awkward pause in their chat. One of the girls asked Ellie if she was excited to be back in the villa and she replied 'No', with Tanya saying that she needed to speak to her man and try to nip it in the bud. Ron told Lana that he didn't feel like he needed a day with the boys, and that the vibes are very different. He said that now that Claudia is getting on with Casey, he's a little more understanding about the situation and less awkward. He said that he was happy him and Shaq had an open conversation about their friendship in the villa.


Shaq pulled Tanya for a chat and he said that he felt like he was being cornered, with Tanya saying that it was not the case, and that if she was to go through the exact same situation again, she would have dealt with it in exactly the same way. She also picked up Shaq on some of the things he says such as telling her to 'not do this and don't talk to me like that', adding that there are certain things he does that remind her of her ex. Shaq mentioned this to Will and said that the ex comment rattled him, adding that he is stubborn, but Tanya is stubborn, with Will explaining that it's why he and Tanya get on so well. Tanya had a chat with Jessie, Claudia, Ellie and Samie and told them that Shaq was wrong in the situation and that it must have been his ego. Claudia said that he shouldn't have done that, Ellie said that it's the start of seeing red flags and Samie told Tanya that they obviously want to make it work, otherwise he would have walked away during that conversation. Tanya told Shaq that things like this will affect both of them because she likes him a lot, and Jessie then got a text that the Islanders had to gather around the firepit immediately. The public had been voting for the couples they thought were the most compatible, and the three couples with the lowest votes were Tom and Samie, Jordan and Ellie, Kai and Olivia, with Tom saying to Samie 'It'll be fine, I've got you', and it was Jordan and Ellie who were the next couple to be dumped. Olivia said that Ellie's journey was just getting started, adding that Jordan was really lovely and also very funny. Ellie told the girls in the dressing room that she was just about to get into something, with Jordan saying that comes into the villa as a bombshell isn't easy. Tom said that Ellie was a classy girl, with some of the things that she said being very funny, and Ellie ended the episode by saying that although she didn't find love, she's found a nice friendship with Jordan. From Sunday's episode, we are going to see the start of Week 5, and also the start of Casa Amor!
