Love Island fix row as fans spot show shake-up in surprise recoupling
LOVE Island fans have claimed the latest recoupling was “fixed” after the bombshell was stopped from having first pick.
Normally the newest arrivals get the opportunity to stir up trouble by having the pick of the bunch, but last night footballer Scott Van Der Sluis was left until last.
Now fans are convinced producers are setting Catherine up to get played by making sure she was coupled up with him.
Despite fan speculation, there’s no written rule that states bombshells are always made to choose first.
But the surprise recoupling has got everyone talking after Catherine and Scott were forced together, Ella and Tyrique, Jess and Sammy, Leah and Mitchel, Molly and Zachariah, Whitney and Medhi all matched up.
It meant André and Charlotte were dramatically dumped from the Island, leaving André’s love interest Catherine in tears.
One viewer moaned: “This is the least dramatic recoupling ever, the should have had Mitch and Scott go first?
“Since when does the new islander have to pick last? Like there was no chance for anything exciting or shocking to happen.”
Another asked: “How is Scott the new one and he’s picking last?”
Someone else said: “Why have they made Mitch pick before Scott lol? It would’ve made more sense to see Scott make his decision between Leah and Catherine.”
Another claimed: “Bombshells always pick first even when it’s not their gender.
“Love Island producers are constantly setting Catherine up to get played.”
Someone else blasted: “Why the f*** would love island do the recoupling order like that??? Cat and Scott be default? I needed it to be a choice.”
A fan insisted: “Shoulda had Scott pick FIRST. I know Scott wants Leah, we’ve seen this movie before.
“He’s just biding his time until next bombshell comes in. Unfair to Catherine – she’s screwed.”
