Task/Challenges[]
Throughout the season, the islanders faced a variety of different tasks/challenges that tested their relationships with one another.
| Challenge | Week | Day | Description | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Excess Baggage | 1 | 3 | It's time for the first challenge of the series, and there's no better way to kick things off than by exposing some of the Islanders' deepest secrets to their new pals. Prepare to hear a few things you can never unhear... We're looking at you, Niall. | |
| Girl Power | 5 | The girls are the heroes of the day in our Girl Power challenge! Capes at the ready, things are about to get weird. | ||
| Couples Yoga | 2 | 7 | It's a very stressful life being an Islander... sunbathing all day and partying all night. So what better way to relieve some stress than with a relaxing couples yoga session? Because who doesn't love a bit of downward dog in the morning? | |
| Truth or Dare | 8 | No big night in the back garden would be complete without a game of Truth or Dare, and Alex finds himself in a pretty sweet situation when his turn rolls around! | ||
| Meals on Wheels | 10 | We like to treat our Islanders to a slap-up meal every so often, and who could turn down some profiteroles and champagne? Well, probably everybody if they had to eat it like this... | ||
| Meet Your Match | 11 | Samira's taking centre stage to host today's challenge: Meet Your Match! The Islanders are in for a shock when our very scientific test reveals who they're most compatible with in the villa | ||
| Girls Night In | 3 | 18 | No girly sleepover is complete without some sexy PJs and a make-over, right? Right?! Our Islanders are ready to get stuck into today's challenge, but some of the ladies are having a much better time on their 'Girls Night In' than others. | |
| Love Fest | 4 | 22 | Festival season is in full flow, and we'd hate for our Islanders to miss out on all the fun, so we've created our own one! The sun is shining, the tunes are playing, and it's down to our Islanders to pitch their tents and get their rave on. | |
| Magic Numbers | 23 | Our innocent game of 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' quickly descends into drama for the couples when they have to guess how many people their partner has slept with. Ouch. | ||
| Snog, Marry, Pie | 24 | We asked the Islanders to choose someone to snog, marry or savagely pie in the face, and their bold choices leave a few couples feeling the strain. | ||
| Shaken and Stirred | 27 | If anything is going to put you off your Tequila Sunrise, it's this challenge. Casa Amor and the main villa are going head to head for the first time in order to win some cocktails. But first, they've got to make some of their own... using just their mouths. Yummy. | ||
| Cheeky Challenges | 27 | Loyalties are tested when the two villas go head to head (well... mouth to mouth) to win a party, and some Islanders aren't prepared to lock lips with someone they're not coupled up with. | ||
| Babewatch | 5 | 31 | Step aside Pamela Anderson, we've got twenty (yes, twenty) Islanders ready to pull on their best red swimwear and run around in slow-mo for your entertainment. Today's challenge sees the couples fighting it out against sharks and surfboards, because why not? | |
| Heart Race | 34 | In tonight's challenge, it's a battle between the boys and girls to keep their heart rates down, but it's easier said than done when you've got 8 smoking hot girls showing you their best moves! Good luck, lads. | ||
| Hot Stuff | 6 | 40 | This challenge needs no introduction. Watch and enjoy as our boys show off their sexiest moves. | |
| Twitter Bingo | 41 | It's time for the challenge that causes guaranteed carnage! Your mean tweets are revealed to our Islanders, and they're not best pleased! | ||
| Public Rates | 7 | 42 | The Islanders are going head to head with the public's opinions, and that can only mean one thing... trouble! It's up to the Islanders to guess how the public ranked them, and some of the couples are in for a bit of a shock. | |
| Master Bakers | 47 | In typical Love Island style, we've tied our couples to each other by the apron strings and blindfolded the boys. Now it's up to them to work as a team to perfectly decorate a cake. We're really hoping Mary Berry never sees this. | ||
| Ladies Day | 8 | 50 | t's time for our ladies to get all dressed up and don their best hats... only to be sprayed with bubbly as they ride horse shaped space hoppers around a make-shift race course. Oh, we do know how to show them a good time |
Coupling History[]
The first 11 Islanders entered the villa on Day 1, with Caroline greeting the female Islanders, before introducing them to the Male islanders. Each girl would have to step forward for the boy that they were attracted to, with the boy in question then getting to make the deciding decision. This season the initial couplings were; Kendall and Niall, Hayley and Eyal, Dani and Jack, Alex and Samira and Laura and Wes, with one boy Adam given the option to take one of the girls later on, after being left out. Further re-coupling periods would take place later in the season.
