Love Island Season 9 Episode 26 will start with Tanya talking to Shaq about what happened between him and Ron in the last episode. She tells him that when he called Ron for the first time to come to the kitchen, it was fine. But then, when he called Ron the second time, it was kind of rude. Because she thinks that Ron is a grown man and that he heard Shaq when he first called him.
Then Shaq says that he could have talked to Ron in a better manner. But the fact was that the boys were annoyed. Then Tanya will say that it doesn’t always have to be him trying to correct others. And Lana thought that the whole situation didn’t sit right and that it wasn’t only about the kitchen.
But then, later that day, Shaq didn’t like how Tanya thought he was wrong. And he didn’t like how she was coming at him. Then Tanya will say that she doesn’t regret telling him those things. And if she was to go back, she would have said those things again. Because she feels that that’s how it should have been handled.
Love Island Season 9 Episode 25 Review
Let’s first talk about episode 25 before going in for Love Island Season 9 Episode 26 Spoilers. Tanyel has gone as well, guys. Tanyel has been dumped from the villa. I don’t know what is going on. Zara has gone, and Nathaniel has gone. Only a couple of days ago, I said Tanyel would excel, but the producer said not today.
I don’t even know how to begin this. I cannot believe that Tanyel has been dumped from the Villa. She was one of the few people who actually I was interested in who had some character arc to her and personality to you. And some people were comparing her to somebody like Hugo, who wasn’t really having an interest or whatever. The difference here is that Tanya is somebody who has a personality that is likable through her journey so far in the villa.
But the fact that the producers dumped tape made no sense. Only for Jordan to pick Ellie to say 10 seconds afterward, saying, “you know, for me, after that speech, I just want to be friends with him”. So why are you here, Ellie?
Oliva And Shaq Are Responsible
Olivia has gone away with so many things in this villa. I just find that too shocking that Olivia managed to kick out Zara and now Tanyel as well. She’s putting down gloves that she loves to wear, and she’s staring around the villa. There was no need for Shaq and Olivia to kind of have that conversation, as well as to speak to Jordan and to kind of make and jade his choices right.
Yes, Tanya was there, and yes, she should have agreed with it, but I don’t like why these people group up with Olivia. Because they’re not the same in any regard. Olivia is somebody who’s been doing this far longer and for far worse. I just find it so irritating that Shaq and Olivia really had to really sit there and try Tanyel getting dumped, and their worked.
Like why did that affect you guys? Why did you need the girl to go? She wasn’t any competition because she didn’t have anybody to go forward with anyways. So she’s not competition for any of these couples. So it’s just a shame that Ellie has stayed, but not an OG, not Tanyel.
Like Tanya was somebody who was carrying the season, she was the only one of the few girls who was giving us dramatics and giving us some kind of drama. As with the fact that she’s been dumped, I don’t have any energy even to be upset. I’m shocked why producers did it, they’re really killing around the show and the season.
The fact that she’s gone makes no sense to me. Some people might dislike her, and therefore, it’s great for you if you’re watching the season. But as somebody who liked the show, as some of who liked Zara on the show, it’s bemusing to me that they would dump her.
She was a good asset to the show, she had personality, and it would have been nice to have seen her with somebody in the villa. She was unlucky, but I wanted her to persevere, just like Danico. Danico was unlucky, but she persevered and proved worthy. And I would have liked to have seen that with Tanyel, but unfortunately, that didn’t take place. And to me, it is just really just irritating that it didn’t take place.
Shaq, Ron, And Lana
As for Shaq and Ron, I’m not a big fan of Ron anyways, but Shaq could have said that to him nicely. But one thing that’s really with the Shaq and Ron stuff that I feel like people are not really landing on is that Lana is over-dramatizing it. Because Lana is running around telling the girls, some of the boys, “Oh my God, Shaq was doing like this, doing like that”. And it’s like it wasn’t as deep as the way Lana is making it out to be. She really is over-dramatizing and amplifying it.
Yeah, Shaq could have done it in a better tone, especially when there is already tension and division between the boys, and that’s what you could have added to it. So you could have spoken to Ron nicely.
And at the same time, half of me gets Shaq when it comes to that because why can he clean things up? But the other half is that “you’re not my mom, do you understand. And you have spoken to me annoyingly a couple of times”.
I don’t like the way Lana is really over-dramatizing it like it was a big showdown when it really wasn’t what it was. So we’ll see that tension definitely going to carry on for those two when it comes to the remaining episodes of this season. But I’m genuinely confused, as it’s only over a month of the show, so I don’t know what legs are going to pull.
The Producers Wanted Tanyel To Go
Honestly, they’re bringing back these girls as Casa Amor girls are not going to happen because some of them are already back in London. And it wouldn’t make any sense to bring them back into it because when I bring them back into Casa Amor and chuck them out again. Because that’s what’s gonna happen anyways.
It just really doesn’t make any sense to me as to what they’re trying to do with the season. But I’m genuinely disappointed by the fact that they have dumped Tanyel.
Makers are really killing and taking out the personality in this show that is creating entertainment and dramatic scenes that people want to see, and only these personalities can do so. So why would you remove them from the villa? I genuinely thought Ellie was going because Jordan said friend on the show. But if you want to pick a friend and somebody to keep it mutual, why would you not pick Tanyel?
The producers are definitely playing here because I felt the producers set up the conversation with Shaq and Olivia. I think it seemed very set up to me, where the producers were like, “we going to get this Tanyel out of here”.
As if Ellie has done nothing for us since she arrived at the villa. She said she was going to cause Carnage, but she has done absolutely nothing but looks confused. So I don’t understand why she’s even in here or what she needs to do. Now Let’s talk about the spoilers for Love Island Season 9 Episode 26.
Love Island Season 9 Episode 26 Spoilers & Release Date
First of all, Episode 26 of Love Island Season 9 will release on 10th February 2023 on ITV2. As I already told you, Shaq and Tanya will have some disagreements. But I think that they will definitely work this out. Then the public has also been voting for the most compatible couple, and the least-voted couple will be in danger. I think that Jordan & Ellie and Casey & Claudia will be in danger.
