"Had to go" — Love Island: All Stars fans react to India's elimination

Love Island: All Stars season 2 aired a new episode on Sunday, January 19, 2025, featuring the elimination of India Reynolds, who became the first islander to be "dumped" from the South African villa. Maya Jama, the show's host, asked her to say goodbye and take her leave, after the villa's latest "bombshell" (newcomer) Tina coupled up with India's partner, Scott, leaving her single.

Friday's episode saw Tina enter the villa and stir relationship dynamics. After going on three dates, she forged a strong connection with Scott, irking India. Both Scott and Tina were participants in the second season of Love Island UK, but could not spark a connection since Scott was paired with someone else. As a result, Scott wanted to get to know Tina this time.

However, his interest in her bothered India, who labeled him as "calculated" during a game in Sunday's episode. She wondered why he kissed her and grew closer, if he wanted to explore other options. India's remark upset Scott, who claimed she gave him the "ick." The couple went back and forth, ultimately deciding to see where things go.

However, things went south for India as she found herself "dumped" from the island while Tina coupled up with Scott. Love Island: All Stars fans took to X to comment on her eviction. While some claimed the decision was fair, others sympathized with India.

"Now that I see things for what they are, glad Tina picked Scott. India had to go. She brought nothing to my television," a fan wrote.

"India got called an “ick” and dumped on the same day," another fan commented.

"what a joke. india you and your lethal face card will be truly missed," a netizen tweeted.

Many Love Island: All Stars fans felt India deserved to stay longer, expressing that she was "robbed" of a chance.

"India had been robbed again, none of them men are worth her time anyway, she’s a 10/10- such a shame!" a user reacted.

"India was too beautiful & too classy for this show anyway, go find a real man on the outside gal," a person commented.

"India literally just minds her business yet the likes of Olivia and Ekin are still in there. She was robbed!" another fan wrote.

In contrast, other Love Island: All Stars fans welcomed the result, saying there was no chemistry between her and Scott.

"Well, it’s not like there was any chemistry between Scott and India. Good riddance," one user posted.

"It’s for the best India was honestly doing too much TOOOOO SOON," a person reacted.

"I hate to say it, but sadly India gave us nothing and that was her downfall. The moment she had a chance to do something semi interesting, she decided to attack Scott, who has been nothing but open and transparent with her. Fate was sealed," another commented.

"I kind of knew it was coming" — Love Island: All Stars' India reacts to her elimination

Before India's fate on Love Island: All Stars was sealed, Ekin-Su pulled Tina aside for a private conversation, saying she brought out more in Scott than India did, from what she had seen. When she asked Tina if she would kiss Scott, she said she might, however, she was torn between him and Luca. Tina confessed that she fancied Luca equally.

Upon hearing that, Ekin-Su advised her to take matters into her own hands to reach a conclusion.

"Well, the only way you'll find out is if you take one step in, if you know what I mean," she said.

Elsewhere, India and Scott confronted one another about their remarks during the game. Scott apologized for saying she gave him "the ick," and added that he said that out of shock. However, he mentioned that he felt disrespected by India's decision to label him as the "most calculated" person inside the villa.

While India hoped he had not taken the comment personally, Scott confessed that it put him back in his "shell a little bit."

Soon after, Maya Jama arrived and announced it was time for Tina to "steal" one of the male islanders. After Tina picked Scott, India found out she had been "dumped" from the villa. Before the Love Island: All Stars cast member left, Scott assured her that she was not the "ick."

While reflecting on her exit, India confessed she knew this would happen.

"As soon as Tina came in she said he liked Scott. So, I thought, I'm either going to be single or I'm going to be leaving. I just had a feeling. The way he relayed it to me, I felt like he maybe liked her as well. So I kind of knew it was coming," India explained.

The Love Island: All Stars cast member added that she would not have enjoyed watching Scott with Tina had she stayed. India revealed she was not on good terms with Scott before her elimination so, she had "kind of said bye," earlier.
