Love Island Season 9 Episode 23 will start with Tom and Samie having a conversation. Tom will ask Samie whether she liked his performance today and she said that “he smashed it”. Then Tom will say that he would like to kiss Samie outside of this challenge.
Then we’ll see Ron and Lana have a conversation with each other. Lana will say that when she coupled up with Casey, she made a rush of decisions. Then they will have a couple of kinds of moments. And Casey will be shocked seeing them so close to each other.
In the morning, Islanders will get a text that “tonight they’ll get each other’s pulse racing in boys vs girls challenge”. So in this challenge, all the Islanders will have a pulse meter that will be recording their heart rates. And one by one, each Islander would perform in their sexy outfits to raise the opposite gender’s heart rates.
Then after everyone’s done with their performances, we will get to know “who raised whose heart rate the most?” Then we will also get a surprise, which will be a new girl bombshell crashing the challenge.
Love Island Season 9 Episode 22 Recap
Let’s first talk about what happened in episode 23 before going in for Love Island Season 9 Episode 23 Spoilers. We’re seeing this Ron stuff and the fact that Lana has gone back to Ron or was going to go back to Ron or has the intention to go back and obviously getting close on the Preview for Love Island Season 9 Episode 23 as well was quite predictable.
It’s giving somebody who wants to just return to somebody vibes. And that’s just what she wants to do, that’s her own prerogative and it just goes to show that Ron can really use her as a safety net for when he wishes to will she get done over again when Casa Amor comes next week or something along those lines
I feel sorry for Casey now, he’s being played he’s been toyed with, and he’s been used as fortunately a placeholder for Lana. So whilst Lana is being used for Ron, Casey is being used for Lana. So Lana can’t really sit here and be the Damsel in Distress because she’s doing the same thing to him and clearly he’s irritated by it.
Unfortunately, that was part of the parcel once you come into the villa later on and he tried to intercept a couple that is somewhat on the breaks and nothing’s really going on. There’s a high chance that you could be left and she could jump into that car with that man and drive 100 miles an hour no matter how many times they put on the brakes
That’s what’s happening to Casey which means that he’s going to be vulnerable, which also means that he might not have you know a lot of time left in the Villa because he doesn’t seem to have anybody else in there for him and that is why he seems to be quite bothered and upset by what is going on.
Ron Lets Lana Do Her Thing
I think Lana and Ron did end up having a conversation and basically, he was saying that he doesn’t understand how somebody could come and only in a few days could turn her head and make her miss or deter her from the connection that she’s had with somebody that she’s been pursuing for two/three weeks. Ron cannot fathom this situation.
Ron said, “I feel like if we were to couple up he wouldn’t have gone back to the way it was. And now that’s Casey’s opportunity to grow even stronger at me to fade away”. I mean, Ron, is this not what you were doing time and time again?
But now you’re shocked because it’s happening to you, instead of you doing it to somebody else. Anyways, I basically tune out of this conversation, but at some point she let us know that she chose Casey basically to teach her a lesson that he can’t just have his cake and eat it too. So we know that Lana’s gonna return to him real soon.
The next day in the morning debrief, Ron, is telling Casy, “hey, you might have won the battle, but you haven’t won the war”. So here he goes trying to win Lana back again. I don’t even care about these two now.
Olivia Is The Problem
I feel like Olivia just wants to give off the main character’s Vibes, but it’s just not happening. I just feel like the way she’s pulling Tanya to aside and saying “you know what, does she have a problem with me, what’s going on? The way she’s making all the girls turn against me. She’s running around and saying things about me” and you know, etc.
When, number one, you’ve been talking about Tanyel behind other people’s backs, so you can’t really call that. Number two, it’s just a game, it’s just a challenge, so it was nothing personal. I believe Samie, I’m beginning to like Sami. She’s growing on me because I feel like she’s having the right conversations.
She’s having the right conversation with the right people and getting them clued up which makes you seem likable to the audience. And number two, it’s great for the producers as well, because it engineers storylines and gets them going to the next step. And this is what the audience wants to see. Because one thing about Love Island, if a triangle between three people drags for too long, people will begin to get upset and people online have been complaining that this episode is boring and that they’re not feeling it in any regard.
So it looks like there’s some kind of tension looming between Samir and Olivia. This is the third girl now, it was Olivia vs Zara, then Olivia vs Tanyel, then now it’s Olivia verse Samie. It looks like it’s just Olivia and somebody else. She is the common denominator, she is the major component that people have an issue with and so you know that seems to be something that is going to be repeated 110 percent. Olivia seems to be the main issue
Also, I feel like we don’t need these challenges. It’s giving Love Island in 2021. That’s what it’s kind of giving to me the Gladiators challenge. If a challenge does not feed into storylines, I don’t know why they’re really there, it’s quite boring, we want the headline challenge, the Twitter Challenge, and all this kind of stuff. Now granted it did bring some kind of tension between Samie and Olivia. Now Let’s talk about the spoilers for Love Island Season 9 Episode 23.
Love Island Season 9 Episode 23 Spoilers & Release Date
First of all, Episode 23 of Love Island Season 9 will release on 7th February 2023 on ITV2. The ratings have been revealed; after Zara left, over 200 000 people left with her. So the ratings dropped, not massively but it says it’s a significant drop after her being surprisingly dumped which goes to show that people genuinely wanted to see her on the show.
Now there are talks of her returning as a Casa Amor contestant, and she is down to do it. Will Love Island bring her back? Maybe, maybe not, but do you guys want to see a return as a Casa Amor contestant?
The ratings are steady at one million, but they’re not obviously taking off. So it’s just interesting to see that drop. I was waiting to see if there was going to be a reading slump with her being departed and that definitely has taken place. Also
