In the challenge, Ryan chose to kiss Tia, probably because she was a safer option than Lucinda. Nate kissed Abby, and she was flattered that somebody could pick her up. I don’t know why she thinks she’s heavy. Even Reid picked her up. Aiden kissed Tyra, and Ben decided to step his game up because he went after Aiden, and so that actually got him the win but didn’t win Tyra’s heart.
So, after the challenge, Zac is spilling his guts to Lucinda. He is itching to say I love you. I have never heard people say I love yogurt. I’ve heard “elephant shoes” or “olive juice.” I’ve never heard that I love yogurt. Lucinda is like, “Oh, my gosh, he wants to move to Europe for me.”
Now, not to say you shouldn’t be flattered by that, but he’s already moved to Brazil for a woman. So, I think this is just his thing. I think that contrary to my initial belief, he falls quickly. And so he’s just going to go with his first mind, and it might not be the smartest decision to make.
Recap
Before diving into Love Island Australia Season 5 Episode 14, let’s quickly recap and review the previous episode. Nate is feeling down because he doesn’t have a connection in the villa. However, Lucinda lets him know that Abby has been thinking about him a little bit.
Now, I don’t know if she was making that up. As we know, Abby has been considering Nate, but I don’t know if she went and explicitly told Lucinda, “Yeah, Nate’s on my radar.” But either way, Nate decides to go and talk to Abby.
Some time ago, I did say I love Abby, and I need her on this show. However, the more I hear her talk, or I guess I don’t talk because she’s just boring. The more I see her on my screen, I’m just like, “Meh.”
Anyway, we go to the Recoupling, and Aiden picks Tyra. Who else was going to pick, Especially because Savannah let him know? “Hey, I’m not into it.” Ryan chose Lucinda, and I was like, “Oh, you got balls.” Zac was trying to come for Rayn’s intelligence. The insecurity is just emanating out of him, and it’s so embarrassing.
Later on in the episode, we see Lucinda basically being confused by Ryan’s decision. She feels like she hasn’t given him any green light to go ahead and pursue it. But I think she has, I will say it was more friendly, but there was a touch of flirting, and any time that he would put out a feeler, she would never shut it down.
For the rest of the recoupling, Nakia chooses Kale. Savannah chooses Trent. Abby chooses Reid. Tia had to choose Zac on this on his behalf, and then a bombshell named Georgia, who is gorgeous, gets to choose between Nate and Ben by way of a 5-minute speed date.
Now, if you ask me, I feel like, on an attractive level, they’re pretty even. I think they’re about the same level of attractiveness. So, I do think it came down to the date. Even though Ben’s date had a lot more substance, he was talking about family life, lifestyle, things like that. I think there was a lot more flirting coming from Nate.
Definitely, I think the interest was more palpable between them than with Ben. So, she decided to save Nate, which means that Ben is gone. A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 14 of Love Island Australia Season 5 will be released and what will happen in it.
