So it seems they decided to give them a break, sending the remaining couples on incredibly lavish dates.
Megan and Wes got to go on a luxury boat ride, where the L-Bomb was once more dropped.
Meanwhile Kaz and Josh had a fairylight-lit dinner (I suppose candles were too dangerous with so many hair prodcuts), accompanied by a woman playing a white grand piano while a man danced in a hoop. Even Dr Alex and Alexandra made up after their acrimonious breakup.
But, as only Love Island knows how, the happiness soon gave way for suspense. The sunny Spanish skies fast turned grey as the islanders found out their fate.
The contestants had to vote for the couple that they wanted to put forward for eviction on Sunday (29 July) night. Tensions ran high, intense discussions about friendship and unconditional love were had, but choose they must.
After texting in their choices, we are left with three couples up for eviction. Josh and Kaz, Dr Alex and Alexandra, Laura and Paul. It had seemed so obvious that the two Alexs would go, but after scrabbling around to make-up - with £50,000 gleaming in their eyes - they may have clinched it.
So who will leave on Sunday? And with the parent visit looming, will we actually get to see Danny Dyer after all these weeks? Keep informed as we stay true to the cause, to the bitter end, and live-blog everything Love Island as it happens.
Please give the live blog a moment to load.
Love Island continues nightly, except Saturdays, on ITV2 at 9pm.
That's right, in case you missed it Jack and Dani have said they'll move in together when the show is over. I wonder if they'll take their fake baby child with them.
Yes, you heard right. Each couple will have to vote for another couple to be dumped from the island. Deceit, treachery, scheming afoot. This stuff is better than Game of Thrones.
Alexandra has a very brazen use of the phrase "shame on you", and you know what? I like it.
How many times, about how many women, have we heard Dr Alex say that he doesn't want to string anyone along? Boy. Wolf. Cried.
As the gang gather round the luminous and weirdly narrow table, the islanders pretend to believe Dr Alex that he actually liked Alexandra.
Alexandra questions what she's going to do and, with two episodes left, the answer is going to be: very little.
That's right Dr Alex, onto the sofa you go. And the sofa you shall stay.
Dr Alex seems to seriously think he can stay friends with Alexandra. Good luck with that, doc.
As long-suffering narrator Iain Stirling so astutely points out, how much must've Alex and Alex not liked each other to break up 3 days before the final (for which the winner receives £50,000, by the way).
