That means Alex and Samira were saved by the public vote, which is good news for Samira especially, who hopefully feels like her decision to appear on the show is worth her reportedly getting sued by the West End production she abruptly quit for it.
Dani and Jack's relationship continued to blossom - with the couple now looking like favourites to win the whole show - though change is needed if their love is going to last, apparently, as Dani declared: "I ain't going to be making him ham and cheese croissants every night."
Two new girls will arrive at the villa on Sunday: Ellie, who reassuringly describes herself as "cute but psycho", and Zara, who is appearing on Love Island and is somehow concerned people might think she's shallow. Yes, people might think you're shallow Zara.

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 except for Saturdays when you're free to wander out into the world.
After Megan's pure fury over Georgia jumping in the pool and having fun on the island-based reality TV show, Jack and Dani had a nice makeout session after her tears over the coupling decision - I mean this is basically the greatest love story of our era isn't it? This is Romeo and Juliet with far more prosecco, tans, and teeth whitening products.
The guilt has followed Dani from the couches to the kitchen. I mean Dani has the full spread of Shakespearean emotions: we've gone straight from Romeo & Juliet to Macbeth. Out damn spot and just, like, I feel really guilty Samira, you know?
Hayley has instilled pure confidence in everyone by confessing that she has no idea what the word "compatibility" means and thus has no actual concept what the show is about. What is love? What is island?
Georgia and Josh are being sent on their first date. Meaning they'll briefly be able to taste sweet freedom and a world that is not the villa. One problem: Josh is scared of fish.
Let's look back at the pool jump that left Megan so furious because... how dare Georgia... try to be the centre of attention on a show constructed solely around individuals trying to set themselves up for a series of fashion brand deals and club appearances?
You know if you really want to impress a girl, tell them you met Academy Award winner Gary Oldman. They go crazy for that. His portrayal of Winston Churchill is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Jack demands the boys have access to harem pants and sarongs to hide their erections because two weeks without sex for them is basically state-sanctioned torture at this point.
