Excited for Love Island Season 9 Episode 20? I don’t know if Shaq and Tanya just were avoiding each other all day. They were really in the heat of this discourse. But in the evening they chose to come back together, see both sides of the story, and apologize. Some viewers feel like Shaq is showing possessive characteristics. I want to see softly on those kinds of claims. Because one the guy likes the girl, that’s number one. The guy likes the girl, you’re gonna, feel away that everybody’s getting a taste like Tanya said, of your girl that you claim to love.
And you guys are saying he also loves bombing her as a child. I don’t know, all I do know is if we look beyond just this challenge, being objective, every challenge we’re kissing is involved, he does kind of get mugged off. She kisses everybody but him and now it’s like “here you have an opportunity to show me that I’m your first priority and you’re still giving everybody equal treatment”.
I can see the frustration building and this being the boiling point. His feelings were valid, but the reaction to the feelings, not a fan of that. But anyways, Tanya’s young and she could do what she wants. She’s on Love Island and she’s playing the game. So do you sis, you’re not gonna get much retribution from me. Shaq and Tanya patch things up anyway so we are also moving on.
Love Island Season 9 Episode 19 Recap
Before diving into Love Island Season 9 Episode 20, let’s quickly recap the previous Episode. Olivia then talks to Tanyel about her closeness to Ron. Honestly, I’m just like “must you always be at odds with somebody in the Villa?” There there was always somebody, some other woman, in the equation that she had to have in her mouth and now it’s Tanyel. And I’m like “Olivia are you not tired, are you not bored?”
Before I move off of this topic, I know this is gonna spark the hook. Can men and women be friends?” Honestly here’s my personal take on it, “humans can be friends with other human beings”. If you have an insecurity that your partner cannot manage boundaries with his female companions, y’all got a greater issue in that relationship than just the big topic of men and women not being able to be friends.
You need to look at your man and wonder why you cannot trust him in female company. That’s the real question, y’all should be looking at your boyfriends, y’all should be looking at your girlfriends, instead of trying to have these Twitter Wars.
Ron then talked to Kai and Kai was basically like “okay what’s the game plan?” And Ron believes that the only reason why Lana is engaging with Casey’s because she’s out of options and if he had just done better, he would be the front-runner. You know why I don’t rate Ron, it is because he’s like “oh yeah I’m gonna put in my full effort for her and whatever”.
And I’m like “Just do that”. Don’t then diminish that effort by saying “she’s only with him because I’m not trying. She’s only with him because somebody else is showing her attention. She’s gonna get over that and come back to me”.
Ron, if you think you are a good person for her, not the better man, not this is a competition, not she doesn’t have any more options, if you think you’re a good person for Lana, then just be that. Ron had a talk with Samie letting her know that she is still an option on his roster, and she quickly gets sick of that. And Thomas the Tank Engine, he’s on the Samie track too.
I can’t tell if there’s anything there between Samie and Tom. I think Tom is a very vibe person, so many women just vibe with him. And even if there isn’t chemistry, if he finds you sexually attractive, that’s enough for Tom, he doesn’t need much more than that. So yeah, everybody can see that Samie is beautiful, so I’m sure he would lean into that. But in terms of them actually having a connection, I don’t see it, I don’t feel it, but again like I said “he doesn’t need it”.
Kai And Olivia Share A Kiss
Kai and Olivia, these freaking bitter buddies, are still talking about Tanyel and Ron. Listen, Olivia, Tanyel is a grown woman, let her do what she wants to do. Just focus on your connection with Kai. And she is, Kai did go in for the kiss, she obliged and I don’t remember her having a kiss with Tom that was outside of a challenge.
So I’m like “okay you like this man, you want to pursue it, then don’t worry yourself about his last connection. That’s not gonna make him like you anymore, he likes you period. Let that go and y’all focus on each other”. Kai and Olivia let their close people know that they shared a kiss. And the way Kai relayed the information, was just so cringing to me. Kai really thinks that he is that guy, you’re not bro.
In the morning debrief, Kai and Olivia, let the entire Villa know that the kiss happened. I think most of the guys already knew anyway so the reaction was kind of like “yeah”. But when Olivia was sharing her information, there wasn’t much of a reaction. Maybe the girls already knew, because they do talk in the dressing room and stuff like that. Or maybe they two are picking up the bad vibes.
And isn’t Olivia like Queen of girl code and all that stuff? She never once, to our knowledge, took Tanyel aside to say “hey I’m feeling the guy that you used to be connected with. I just wanted to let you know in case there was anything there”. Tanyel doesn’t seem bothered at all, but wouldn’t that be the courtesy to tell her?
Ellie Finding Herself
Jordan and Ellie had a conversation and Ellie is basically trying to see where she stands with Jordan. Ellie is something that still just boggles my mind. Ellie, do you want to be the flirt or do you want to be the girlfriend or do you want to be the one who’s pursued? Because it seems like you want to be the flirt and you’re okay with that. But now you are trying to see where do you fit in with Jordan, I feel like is a waste of time. If you want to be a flirt, then just flirt with him.
I mean you are at a show where partnership keeps you in the Villa for the most part, so I understand it from that perspective. But I’m like “it’s okay to just let the feminine wilds just calm for a second. And just be in the moment with somebody. Get to know them, build a connection and see where it goes from there”. Because the surface connection is only going to go so far, I think even she’s realizing “I actually kind of just want to be with somebody. I want to see what could happen there”.
As for Tanyel and Spencer, we’ve seen them have a few conversations here and there. And basically, she’s like “I love how your calm vibe works with my fiery vibe”. I might be a fan of these two because Spencer does have a subdued nature similar to somebody like Kai. I see Spencer as somebody who wouldn’t be easily intimidated by a woman like Tanyel. He’s so secure and he’s like “I don’t need to do anything. If you like me we go together if you don’t that’s fine.”
But he doesn’t strike me as somebody who would say the things that maybe Kai was saying “oh I’m the only guy in here that can tame her”. Kai once also told, “I know all the women are scared of her and that’s why they don’t pursue me”. No Kai that’s not the reason just trust yourself, bro. And I feel like Spencer trusts himself. Now we will discuss when will Episode 20 of Love Island Season 9 will release.
