On this week's episode of Love Island, Jacques O’Neill explored his chances with other girls while keeping Paige Thorne on the sidelines. Fans weren't impressed with him and slammed his behavior online, even labeling him as "the worst Love Island contestant of all time."
The Love Island franchise has been extremely popular among viewers, and despite the fact that this season has received a considerable number of complaints, the drama quotient is too high for fans to give it a miss.
Fans slam Love Island contestant Jacques O’Neill for playing with Paige Thorne's feelings
On Day 31 of Love Island, viewers saw some tense decisions made by contestants just ahead of the Casa Amor recoupling. One among the group was Jacques O'Neill. After coming to the conclusion that he was spending a lot of time with Paige, he decided to explore other options in the villa.
The rugby player enjoyed a flirtatious conversation with newcomer Molly, following which he backtracked on his own comments and decided to pursue Cheyanne instead. He pulled her over for a chat and told her that he only wanted to get to know her. The pair then shared a kiss before deciding to share a bed together.
The contestant later confessed to fellow contestants Dami Hope and Luca Bish that he questioned his feelings over Paige after building a strong connection with Cheyanne.
His decision to test his feelings for Paige by getting close to Cheyanne didn't sit well with fans, and they criticized him for the same on social media.
What about the other relationships on Love Island?
On this week's episode of Love Island, Andrew Le Page got emotional thinking about how his feelings for fellow contestant Tasha Ghouri weren't reciprocated. He appeared to be conflicted over his feelings for her after kissing Coco and broke down in front of Jacques O'Neill. The star said:
I'm just not enough for the girl that I wanted. Tasha was what I wanted, I felt like we were building something, but I was just there because I was easy for her."
Meanwhile, Tasha didn't hold back and continued to get to know Billy in order to explore their connection. She confessed that they got along really well and that she had never felt this "fire" with anyone before.
In the main villa, Davide Sanclimenti reflected on his feelings for Ekin-su. Despite sharing a kiss with Molly earlier in the day, the star confessed that he kept thinking of the former. Fellow contestant Jay Younger advised him not to let his pride get in the way of a potential relationship with Ekin-Su.
"Right now it's quite obvious I think you still have a connection with Ekin, and you don't just wanna throw that to the side out of spite, it's not right man."
While Danica Taylor shared a romantic moment with Josh Le Grove, Indiyah was conflicted over her feelings between Dami and newcomer Deji Adeniyi.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger with many of the contestants having their heads scrambled ahead of the recoupling. The show cut right before fans could see who the contestants have chosen as their partners. Viewers will have to tune in to the next episode on Thursday to find out who leaves the villa single.
