As the guys from Casa Amor got to know the Islander girls, back at the original villa a lot of heads were being turned. Curtis in particular, who seemed torn over his proclaimed loyalty for Amy, his "half-girlfriend", versus his interest in new girl Jourdan.
Here are some of the key talking points:
The islanders play some love games
A new challenge caused trouble after demanding different contestants kiss one another according to age and height. Molly-Mae got jealous after learning Tommy, the youngest boy, had kissed another girl, while Amber was equally peeved that Michael kissed someone else, given that she refused to take part in the kissing challenges.
Curtis's head is turned, a lot
Curtis is risking his relationship with Amy after admitting that he was interested in Jourdan. However, after hearing him confess said interest, Jourdan then opted to share a bed with Danny and enjoy a lights-out makeout session with him. So Curtish could be risking everything for... nothing.
Anton gets his first kiss
Anton looked genuinely baffled after weeks of being ignored by the women of Love Island, when he was kissed by new contestant Belle, who definitely isn't cosying up to him because she wants to stay on the show whent the next recoupling takes place.
Michael is cancelled
After the trailer for tomorrow night's episode (2 July) aired, viewers expressed their shock on social media after seeing Michael crack on with Joanna, despite professing his loyalty to Amber. "I've officially lost all hope in men," one particularly distressed audience member tweeted. "Goodnight."
The liveblog is now closed:
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2, Tuesday 9pm
So Curtis is breaking everyone's hearts by cracking on with Jourdan (producers made her change her name to avoid being confused with Jordan). His head is strong, apparently, like a battering ram. But it's also been turned, like an owl sensing a mouse in some grass.
So some games are afoot. The winners of the challenge win a party. Because they are obviously incapable of throwing one without permission, being adults.
Oh my god, that was amazing. They had to work out whose name started with the letter closest to the beginning of the alphabet. "Anton, it might be you, love."
Lucie is mad because she found out Tommy won at kissing the youngest girl, even though she kissed the youngest guy.
Lot of people taking this very seriously and refusing to get involved because they're "loyal". Failing to realise that most contestants swap partners every five minutes on this show.
