Let’s dive into the juicy updates!
Harriett and Ronnie’s Terrace Chat Sparks Drama
The episode kicked off with Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint sharing a private conversation on the terrace. Meanwhile, the girls, led by Elma Pazer, secretly listened in from the daybed below. Grace Jackson tried to reassure Elma, saying Harriett wasn’t prioritizing Ronnie in the villa. When Harriett returned, she discussed her terrace chat with the girls, but tension was already brewing.
Elma vs. Ronnie: Heated Argument
Later, Ronnie had a one-on-one chat with Elma, which quickly turned into a verbal argument. The situation escalated when Ronnie found out the girls had told Harriett that he referred to their Season 11 relationship as a “showmance.” Feeling betrayed, Ronnie confronted the girls.
Ronnie: “When did I ever say my relationship with Harriett in Season 11 was just a showmance?”
Kaz Crossley reminded him of a statement he made during the Red Flag Game on Day 1. Things took a hilarious turn when Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu chimed in, agreeing with Kaz, only to be called out by Luca Bish, who pointed out that Ekin-Su wasn’t even in the villa on Day 1. The girls burst out laughing, and the moment became an embarrassing self-goal for Ekin-Su.
Ekin-Su Confronts Curtis Over the Kissing Challenge
Ekin-Su later addressed her annoyance with Curtis Pritchard, criticizing how he reacted during the kissing challenge. Curtis defended himself, saying his comments were truthful, but Ekin-Su felt he came across as fake. Their brief chat added tension between the two.
Nighttime Drama: Daybeds and Separate Sleeping Arrangements
As night fell, couples retreated to their beds while the new bombshells, Harriett and Montel, slept on separate beds. However, Ronnie and Curtis found themselves banished to the daybeds outside, thanks to their respective partners’ dissatisfaction.
Morning Moves: Coffee and Conversations
The next morning, Ronnie attempted to win back Harriett’s favor by preparing her coffee, which didn’t sit well with Elma. Meanwhile, Harriett had a private chat with Ron Hall, and Montel had conversations with both Catherine Agbaje and Kaz Crossley. It was clear the bombshells were exploring their options ahead of the recoupling.
Shocking Recoupling at the Firepit
The islanders received a text instructing them to gather at the firepit. Another text followed, announcing that Harriett and Montel had to steal one boy and one girl from the already-formed couples.
- Harriett Blackmore chose Ron Hall, making them the newest couple.
- Montel McKenzie picked Kaz Crossley, pairing them up for the next phase of the competition.
These decisions left their former partners in disarray. Ronnie Vint was visibly disappointed, as he’d hoped Harriett would choose him. Meanwhile, Elma couldn’t resist mocking Ronnie, taunting, “Unlucky you—get ready for another night on the daybed!”
Ronnie’s Emotional Chat with Harriett
After the recoupling, Ronnie pulled Harriett aside for a heartfelt conversation. Harriett explained that she couldn’t pick him because it would look bad to pair up with her ex so soon after arriving. Despite this, Ronnie made his feelings clear, telling Harriett he was determined to prove his love for her.
