Love Island fans are right in the middle of the new series and viewers haven’t been shy about sharing their thoughts on every aspect of the drama at the villa.
The inclusion of a sex-themed challenge is already turning heads, and Molly even brings tears to tears at the prospect of rejecting her partner Mitchel.
A brand new bombshell also appeared in the final episode, wasting no time ruffling feathers and vowing he wouldn’t shy away from stealing his dream girl from one of the boys.
And while there was much talk of connections and drama, fans also found the humorous side of girl chat, with one word in particular causing confusion.
As fans count down to the first installment of the series, here’s everything you missed from Love Island 2023 episode four…
Molly gets her head twisted during a sexy challenge
What’s up? We’re still in the first week of this year’s Love Island, but Molly Marsh has already turned heads and shared a kiss with Zachariah Noble on Thursday’s episode
Cheeky! The blonde beauty had been dating Mitchel Taylor since their first night in the villa, but didn’t shy away from taking the chance for another hickey
We’re still in the first week of this year’s Love Island, but Molly Marsh has already turned heads and shared a kiss with Zachariah Noble.
The blonde beauty had been dating Mitchel Taylor since their first night at the villa, but didn’t shy away from taking the opportunity to share another hickey during the show’s sex challenge.
The islanders were tasked with a raunchy game of “Ready, Sex, Go” in which two couples competed to be the first to demonstrate a sex position.
The pair that performed the most accurate demonstration got to read a challenge before selecting their chosen islander to complete the task.
Molly dared to make out with the three islanders with whom she has the most sexual tension and decided to kiss Zachariah, Mitchel and Tyrique.
After kissing Zachariah first, she transitioned to Mitchel, and an angry Mitchel told her, “I can taste Zach.”
In yet another challenge, Zachariah was then chosen to smooch the islander he’d most like to have a sneaky hookup with when his current partner wasn’t at the mansion.
The bombshell leaned in to kiss Molly for the second time.
As they kissed profusely, Mitchel said, stone-faced, “Oi bro, come up for air, yeah!”
A smitten Mitchel told Whitney after the game that he only had his eye on Molly and was barred from meeting the other girls.
And viewers think she should dump Mitchel
End of the street? After her kiss with Zachariah, fans were quick to tell Molly to dump Mitchel
After her kiss with Zachariah, fans were quick to tell Molly to dump Mitchel.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote, “Molly will be dropping him soon,” while another shared, “Molly is about to drop Mitchel in 5,4,3,2,1….”
Someone else posted, “Let me tell you how this is going to go.” Molly will dump Mitch for Zac and then Zac will piss her off for a bombshell at some point and then Molly will come back to Mitch.
Another fan of the show shared: “Mitchel and Molly ending tomorrow??? Well, they were WAY too fast anyway.
While someone else wrote, “Mitchel and Molly are on the different sides. They should just end it.”
“Mitchel will end up crying in the classroom for doing way too much too soon while Molly is basically saying she’s out and here having a good time!” wrote another viewer.
…but her tears make some roll their eyes
Already? Love Island fans were less than impressed with Molly as she broke down in tears after just four days at the villa
Cheeky! The blonde beauty admitted she’s “open” to exploring her connection with Zachariah Noble after their kiss during a challenge
Honestly: During a conversation with Ruchee, Molly said, “I’ll definitely be speaking to Zach more, especially after last night.” I’m open. I’m so open’
Emotional: But suddenly the blonde beauty broke down in tears and said to her pal: “I just don’t always come out with how I feel.”
Molly Marsh admitted she was “open” to exploring her connection with Zachariah Noble after their kiss during a challenge, but added that she’s had a hard time expressing her feelings.
Molly was told that Mitchell, her current partner, had “closed himself off” to her and she was suddenly tempted to meet Zach.
During a conversation with Ruchee, Molly said, “I’ll definitely be talking to Zach more, especially after last night.” I’m open. I’m so open
But suddenly the blonde beauty broke down in tears, telling her friend: “I just don’t always come out with how I feel.”
Regrettably, after just four days at the villa, fans weren’t so convinced by Molly’s emotional response. Some claimed she installed waterworks in a playful move to steal Zachariah from Catherine.
One tweeted, “Molly… what are you crying about?” while another added, “Why is MOLLY crying???” She is about to use her tears to steal Zachariah from Catherine. “Yt women are so annoying, my goodness.”
A third posted: “Sorry I can’t take Molly’s crying?” “This girl is acting like it’s week 7.”
“Why is Zach so mad about kissing Molly?” added one angry fan.
One fan also posted: “Any Molly the tears…needless…tell the man to get your way, say it with your chest and move on.”
A single word causes the girls to rack their brains
Confusion: The bombshell Whitney Adebayo had to explain the meaning of ‘territory’ to Jess Harding (pictured) and Molly Marsh on Thursday’s episode
Feelings: Whitney (pictured) discussed which of the male islanders caught her eye after entering the mansion on Wednesday’s episode
Problems: Molly also admitted she didn’t know what Territorial meant and said she struggled with “big words”.
Bombshell Whitney Adebayo had to explain the meaning of “territory” to Jess Harding and Molly Marsh on Thursday’s episode.
Whitney discussed which of the male islanders caught her eye after entering the mansion on Wednesday’s episode.
Sharing being wary of stepping on some other girls’ toes, she said, “The girls are territorial,” prompting Jess to ask, “What do you mean? I’m not good with big words.”
Whitney explained further, saying, ‘Oh my god, they say, you know, Ella, she’s very territorial about Tyrique and you don’t really want to get into that.’ It’s a long time.’
Jess understood the situation and told her, “It’s long, but you’re here for yourself and if you feel like you have a connection to Tyrique, you need to explore that.”
The moment sent fans into hysteria and many took to Twitter to express their feelings.
Referring to Season 4’s Hayley Hughes, one person wrote, “Molly and Jess not knowing what territorial means generate the same energy as Hayley thinking Essex is a continent.”
While someone else asked, “Sorry, but why is territory a big word?”
“So Jess doesn’t know what Territorial means but does know he has basic Spanish?” “Interesting,” tweeted another viewer.
While another Love Island fan wrote: “Jess didn’t know what Territorial meant why does everyone speak different languages to her.”
Another wrote: “I know I have an unhealthy obsession with Love Island but today there may have been an awakening… These people didn’t know what ‘territorial’ meant…”
While another shared, “Jess said she didn’t understand what ‘territorial’ meant and wanted Whitney to explain.” Whitney basically responds by saying that ‘territorial’ means territorial, lol. I’m sure that helped Jess a lot.’
Another person wrote, “How can Jessica not know what Territorial means but she’s here doing bilingual LOL.”
Someone else wrote, ‘These people don’t know what territory means.’ Bombastic side-eye seriously.’
And the new bombshell leaves fans unimpressed
Outraged: Fans weren’t impressed with handsome new signing Sammy Root after he appeared as the latest bombshell on Thursday’s episode
Opinion: When Sammy spoke to the other islanders about his plan, he didn’t hold back, implying that he was “not afraid” of the other boys and would be willing to steal their girls from them
Love Island fans weren’t impressed with handsome new arrival Sammy Root after he emerged as the latest bombshell.
The 22-year-old project manager was taken on three dates with Ella, Molly and Jess at the hideout before heading to the main mansion.
When Sammy discussed his plan with the other islanders, he didn’t hold back, implying that he was “not afraid” of the other boys and would be willing to steal their girls from them.
He said, “If you see what you want and someone else is with her, the water is off a duck’s back.”
Sammy’s behavior left many viewers in bad taste, with some taking to social media to brand him “insufferable”.
One wrote: “Yeah Ella isn’t happy with the bombshell,” while another declared it was the “first flop of the season.”
A third wrote: “This bomb isn’t a bomb,” while a viewer tweeted: “The men are disappointing I can’t lie.”
“Sammy puts me in a very bad mood for this guy,” added one user.”
Before arriving at the villa, Sammy was asked why he signed on for the show and he said: “I always have girls on my mind so there’s no better way to find a nice girl than on Love Island. ‘Villa!’
Love is in the air? The project manager was invited to three dates with Ella Thomas, Molly Marsh and Jess Harding (pictured) at the Hideaway
“I’m going to be the energy in the villa, a lot of guys have pretty faces and nice bodies which I have but I also have the bubbly personality, I’m a bit of a fireworker.”
He added, “My looks alone set me apart from everyone else. Most attractive people have a sponge personality, but I’m not lacking in that either.”
Asked about his biggest “kick,” Sammy said, “It’s niche, but wide feet — there’s something about wide feet that I can’t handle.” Girls who are too into zodiac signs are another jerk. ‘
Sammy’s arrival comes just days before the series’ first reunion, with one islander set to be fired if he remains single.
Love Island continues on Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
