I was more annoyed at his superior tone.

It came across he felt he was superior to Alexandra by the way he spoke to her. He treated her like a pest.

Agree completely. He was a patronising little turd. He was so sure in the initial instance that New Laura, fine filly that she is, would recognise a fellow blueblood and they would be on the piste together with fabulous friends in St Moritz faster than you can say "I once copulated with an Aston Martin."

When he got the bum's rush from Laura, he grudgingly traded back 'down' to Alexandra. I have no sympathy for him at all. He was trying different ways to tell her she wasn't good enough for him, which is rich coming from the bastard son of Mr Blobby and a ribbed condom.

He wasn't being emotionally and intellectually honest, he was telling the guttersnipe her value. After all, it's not like these strippers and shop girls have feelings or anything.

Could it simply be that Alex just wasn’t that into Alexandra??? Like there’s 5 girls and 5 boys they can’t all be madly in love with each other!!! So in fairness I think he just didn’t like her as much as she liked him!

Also it would have been much easier to keep going till Monday and act like he liked her but he didn’t! I can see how Alexandra is hurt and I’ve no idea why Alex didn’t like her (he was punching well above his weight!!) but that’s life!!

I think fair play to him for saying it but maybe he could have been a bit nicer in his tone and be a bit more honest!

I must be in the minority here not turning on Alex.

From the very first episode we all questions why he would come onto this show (I still have my suspicions about ulterior motives) and I think he's just continuing with actions that don't suit the show.

For 99% of the people who participate in this show, at this stage even if they didn't feel a romantic connection they would fake it to the end to try and win the money and then break up out of the villa. That's the way it always goes and I'm sure is going for a few in there.

With Alex he could have very easily said nothing and possibly get to a point of winning it, as he has a following and so does Alexandra. But if after trying he still didn't have strong feelings for her (something people suggested from the start) he seems like he just couldn't handle putting it on for show. He's awkward enough and I get why trying to fake a romance on screen may be too daunting for someone like him.

So in that regard I think in his mind he was doing the right thing in saying how it was. If this was outside the villa that is the right call and that's what he was basing it on. Unfortunately this isn't outside the villa, it's on television screens across the UK and Ireland. As bad as it sounds at this point of the show the more logical decision is to carry on and wait until after to announce those doubts. I feel Alexandra is not so much angry at the fact that Alex has come to terms that feelings aren't progressing towards her but rather the situation it has left her in relation to the prize money and winning. I don't buy these claims he used her or led her on, there is no benefit to him and his chances of winning telling her he doesn't have those feelings, only benefit is a load off his mind.

She knew they were one of the couples on course to challenge and Alex saying how he feels has dashed most of those hopes, so her snappy reaction was a result of that I feel. It's a tough spot for Alex in my eyes, he played it how you would on the outside world but unfortunately that is not what you do here and it's his fault for not realising.

Ending it as he did is fine. It was the right call.

But i definitely think he kept her interested more than he should have. He decided to have a crack at Laura when she came in, pretty much telling Alexandra he wasn't that into her. Then recoupled and said all the right things, then fobbed her off again.

It would be shítty outside the house as well.

He could have said it 2 weeks ago and not say yeah I like you, no I don't, yeah I do, no I don't.

How he thaught Laura would fancy him is beyond beleif, must be proscribing himself sone good pills...

Do you think him and Alexandra will be dumped tonight? Really like Alexandra she's beautiful and seems like a great friend aswell. Would be cool plot twist if she recoupled with Wes or something.
Alex obviously didn't think he had a good chance to win or didn't think it was worth it acting like he was interested in Alexandra. But he seemed really interested in her before she choose to recouple with him which did come across as insincere like others have said basically what Ellie did to him.

I'm liking how you are thinking there!!!Imagine if she got to choose before some of the other girls and she chose their man:D:eek: I'm not even sure if there's a recoupling or who would get to choose but that would be brilliant!

Duck Soup

Shame on you, Mr Pink.

jluv

Oh oh I'd say that is bye bye doc..

Duck Soup

Which couple should be dumped? Why is that even a question?

The Alexandra response is even better the second time. Send Dr Alex to the burns unit.

anewme

His loss.

Alexandra 100 times better in every respect than the fake Blokey wooden actress Laura.

Chancer3001

Couldn't have worse timing .

Typical Alex

Mr_Man2121

I was making food. Is someone getting dumped?

Chancer3001

Safe to say Adam won t have an acting career outside of the villa!!

See him advertised for nightclub openings tho. The big time

Im gonna go Team Wez and Megan they are both hot

Chancer3001

The whole episode should have been Megan on that date

Try_harder

I liked Black Jack- he was fun

waffleman

Were they even on that boat? Looked like some dodgy green screen setup on the close ups

Duck Soup

Kaz is effortlessly gorgeous and natural. Josh's a bit of a non-event.

anewme

I’d hate that date with them 2 swinging round over my head eavesdropping.

Chancer3001

A love island show where couples met and really like each other....


What a disaster for the producers

I'd be with them on that one. Someone kill me now.

Try_harder

Will any relationship see September end let alone Xmas?

Try_harder

I love that song btw

Duck Soup

They have to vote the two Alexes off. It ends the awkwardness for both of them.

jluv

Ah for God sake..when you look at the rest of the dates,poor Alexandra was shafted big time!!!! along with having to put up with Alex:P

Oh yes! From Romeo+Juliet OST - best soundtrack ever

Duck Soup

This lot have the worst banter in the world. Ever. Beautiful people asking each other what their favourite colour is. Triffic.

Try_harder

They dont know where Vienna is? Ffs

Duck Soup

Why can't we have an Irish Love Island? 4 weeks on Lambay. Or Coppers.

gadgiemagoo

All of them (except A&A) on the final dates making their pitch for the £50k reminds me of when contestants are in the Board room & each trying to convince Lord Sugar why they shouldn't be fired .............

It would be Tallafornia all over again- not enough people to make it work

There's no way it can be anyone but Alex2 they aren't a couple so have to be goners

Duck Soup

Rumour has it that Alex and Alexandra are voting to dump Alex and Alexandra.

Slán Alex !!

Not so sure.

Kaz and Josh might not be that popular.

ShamoBuc

Meet the families time!

Try_harder

Josh throwing shade at Dr Alex on the last leg

ConcertKing

Danny Dyer only via live video link!!!

Pity as I was looking forward to Danny tearing into Jack 'Propa nawty!!!

Chancer3001

I reckon Laura could be gone.

Her fella adds minus banter

Rikand

I just got a text on my phone and shouted out at the top of my voice "I got a text"

I wont say what my wife said.....

laura was the only one to even hint a tactical vote. the rest are too friendly with each or too savvy not to come across as villains.
probably why the shows kinda crap, megan seemed to have a bit of bitchiness towards laura though

Thanks! Here's another plot twist ;

Get all the dumped islanders back and give the couples a choice to recouple with anyone they want as their final test.
