‘Completely and obviously rigged’ rant Love Island fans as they insist moment on show was ‘set up for drama’
LOVE ISLAND fans have been left raging over their belief the annual heart rate game was “set up to cause drama”.
In what is now annual tradition, this year’s islanders were strapped to heart rate monitors to perform sexy dance routines for each other.
Stripping down to tiny outfits for the occasion, the girls performed for the boys before the boys did the same.
After that, the results were read out – with some surprising reveals hinting that islanders had been hiding secret attractions.
Ciaran Davies and Nicole O’Brien, who have been coupled up from the start, ended up in a row after Ciaran’s heart rate went up most for Grace Jackson.
Other surprise reveals was Grace getting flustered most over Ayo Odukoya, despite being coupled up with Konnor Ewudzi and being in a flourishing romance with Joey Essex.
Ronnie, who has been stuck in a triangle with Jess and Harriett throughout the show’s run, also fuelled the trouble with his heart rate going up the highest for Jess.
But fans of the show have been unconvinced by the results, believing they were ‘rigged’ deliberately to cause drama.
Taking to X (previously Twitter) one wrote: “These results may have been fixed for obvious reasons #loveIsland”
“Heart rate challenges are always fixed and a waste of time. #LoveIsland” said a second.
“If we’re being honest, Mimi’s Heartrate was rigged,” said a third.
“Konnor legit just held her hand up ! But love this for her #loveisland”
Who Raised Whose Heartrates The Most?
Here's how the results of the game played out
BOYS RESULTS
Ayo’s was raised the most by Mimii
Konnor’s was raised the most by Matilda
Wil’s was raised the most by Uma
Sean’s was raised the most by Jess
Joey’s was raised the most by Nicole
Ronnie’s was raised the most by Jess
Ciaran’s was raised the most by Grace
GIRLS RESULTS
Harriett’s was raised the most by Ronnie
Matilda’s was raised the most by Sean
Uma’s was raised the most by Wil
Mimii’s was raised the most by Konnor
Nicole’s was raised the most by Ciaran
Jess’s was raised the most by Ronnie
Grace’s was raised the most by Ayo
As a result of the game, things are fracturing between several of the stable couples – with Joey arguably annoyed at Grace’s heartrate rising over Ayo as well.
While islanders digest what went down, things are about to get even more complicated with the addition of two new bombshells.
Doncaster native Trey Norman and Jessy Potts from Leicester were teased at the end of tonight’s episode, inviting Jess and Joey on dates away from the villa.
The move clearly annoyed Grace, who has been in an on/off romance with Joey before they even entered the villa.
Will these two additions send more pulses racing?
