Love Island Season 2 September 17th Recap and Thoughts

Four Islanders see their journeys end and three new arrivals aim to turn the villa upside down.

Let's start with the vote because we finally saw our dream of a Mackenzieless villa come to fruition. I'm excited to see how the vibe in the villa changes with her gone. She was so overwhelmingly narcissistic that it became painful to watch her on a daily basis. I was not a fan of her trying to reel Connor back in on the way out the door and I really hope her last ditch effort wasn't enough to lure him back in.

Besides Mackenzie we say goodbye to Jalen, Sher, & Aaron. Really these three never stood a chance. It honestly felt a bit unfair seeing them get ejected from the island before getting a chance to at least have a new wave of islanders swoop in. Out of the three I think Jalen is the only one who had any impact whatsoever on the island, being part of the reason Mackenzie and Connor broke up. Outside of that Aaron and Sher were two fairly bland islanders that could have been replaced by cardboard cut outs.

Lastly we had three new boys arrive in the villa to turn things upside down. Noah, Bennie and Bennett arrived and got to go on dates with Moira, Cely and Kierstan. Bennett and Kierstan really hit it off and I'm fully expecting them to be a new couple. Moira seems to be on the fence about both Noah and Connor. And then somehow Bennie is finding a little crack to sneak into Cely's life. Johnny did not react well to the new guys coming in and I think it's already hurting his relationship with Cely.

That's it for tonight, I'll be back tomorrow for the next episode!
