Adam pre-warned Kendall he planned to ditch her, before swiftly bounding off to kiss new partner Rosie by the fire pit. Kendall became the first person to leave the show this year, though three new contestants were teased who will be introduced as a surprise on Sunday night.
Thursday's edition saw the relentlessly spurned Dr. Alex finally get his first date of the series with newcomer Rosie, while Niall and Georgia sat a few feet away from them, getting straight to the meat of any stirring intellectual conversation: how does she feel about chicken dippers?
Clearly, the answer pleased Niall enough, as he launched straight into a kiss, which caused ripples of shock across the villa (that's all it takes).
Cut to Hayley angrily asserting that you "can't trust anyone" and referring to the whole business as a "game", despite having already scolded Eyal for using exactly the same terminology.
A game of 'Truth or Dare' then resulted in the bombshell that Jack would re-couple with Hayley if he had the chance, which ended up with Dani in floods of tears trying to rekindle her relationship with Jack. "It’s not that I don’t like you," she wept. “It’s just I worry because you’re what I know.” Jack was quick to reply: "Sometimes stick to what you know."

Eyal picks Hayley, which leaves Adam choosing between Kendall and Rosie
Or the secret third option of throwing yourself in the Balearic Sea (my hot tip)
He picks Rosie, which means Kendall is heading home. It's probably for the best, if she's genuine about looking for love she probably has a better chance finding it in a Costa at the airport on the way home
Three new human beings complete with limbs and vital organs will enter the house in Sunday night's episode. They look like this:
Can any of them tempt the original contestants away from their current partners given the deep spiritual and intellectual connections they've established over the past 5 days?
We'll find out on Sunday night when Love Island goes head-to-head in a ratings battle with Poldark, another show all about bare chests and people saying things of little consequence.
Goodnight readers! 'Where's your head at' mine's about to be plunged into acid by way of cleansing the past hour!
