The Islanders leave their jobs in the UK and head to the Villa -Tyrique is a semi-professional football player, Molly a musical theatre performer, George a salesman, Jess an aesthetics practitioner, Andre a business owner, Catherine an estate agent, Medhi works for a railway company, Ruchee is a beautician, Mitchel a gas engineer, and finally Ella, who is a model. Maya tells them that there is a twist this time as the public have been voting for who should be coupled up with whom - it's Jess and George, Catherine and Andre, Ruchee and Medhi, Molly and Mitchel, Ella and Tyrique. To break the ice in the evening, the Islanders play a game of beer pong - Maya returns to the Villa and tells the girls that if any of them aren't happy with their partner they can step forward - both Ruchee and Jess step forward. In a final twist, Zachariah walks into the Villa and Maya reveals that in 24 hours he can pick one of the girls to partner up with, leaving one boy single and vulnerable.
