Coupling History[]
At the start of the season the Islanders were required to couple up together. Host; Caroline Flack, had the girls line-up and introduced the guys one at a time, with the girls then getting the chance to step forward if they wanted to couple with that boy. The boy however would get free range over who he could couple up with, even being able to choose somebody who had already coupled up. Throughout the season there were a variety of chances to re-couple during re-coupling sessions. If an islander was to end up without someone at the end of these sessions they'd be dumped from the island.
