Your support makes all the difference.With only two episodes of Love Island 2018 left, one can only image how gruelling the ITV2 producers will make them for our islanders.
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.
As everyone goes on their photoshopped looking dates, what we're really waiting for is for the inevitably brutal eviction coming soon.
In case you missed it, Dani said "my toes glisten", which might be her best sentence yet.
So according to them Megan and Wes are 'for real', as are Jack and Dani. Double wedding?
And now it's Josh and Kaz's turn to have a ridiculously lavish date. A private pianist on a white grand piano, a woman dancing in a hoop, what is this?!
Having crawled his way back from makeup-gate, Josh and Kaz are going to play "huge parts" in each others lives after this.
So we have Josh and Jaz, Wes and Megan, Jack and Dani, all 'in love'. I wonder which couple will be the ones to go tonight...*cough cough Alex and Alex*
It is possible that Love Island has officially lost it. There's a man in a tight white suit floating from a hoop to slow music.
Alexandra and Dr Alex are preparing for the 'closure chat', and the islanders have made a fake man on the bed. Still not as pink as Dr Alex.
Alexandra, Laura and Dr Alex are having a conversation about what country Vienna is in. They have not even guessed the right country yet.
Meanwhile Paul sits there smugly, either knowing where Vienna is, or pretending he does. Or just thinking about kissing Britney Spears (we're never going to let you forget that, Paul).
Speaking of quiet Paul that we so rarely think about, imagine if he won that £50,000. Swoop in at the last minute and take the dollar...I think I'd quite respect that actually.
