luke on the other hand was almost positive what he was going to do. he knew the girls cornered him because he was single after him and jess called things off and they were looking for any excuse to stay, even if it meant sabotaging someone else's chances. he nodded and smiled and said he'd think about him but he had his mind made up.

"you two have got something going on with eden and demi and i'm so happy for you both and we wouldn't want you to stop that because we want to be here." sophie explained to luke and nas and they nodded. "we just wanted to let you know."

"who i pick is my business. i can't actually believe that sophie and leanne are asking me to pick them when they can see how much i like eden." he frowned.

luke wasn't the only person who was slightly taken aback by leanne and sophie's actions. both shaughna and eden made it clear when callum approached them and told them what was going on that they didn't approve of their actions.

"they're seriously trying to stay in by telling nas not to pick demi and luke not to pick me? if they have to beg so desperately to stay in here then maybe it's just their time to leave." the blonde girl whispered to shaughna who nodded whilst frowning.

"it's such bullshit. i dont think i'd be able to stand it if you left." replied shaughna as she hugged eden. "i can't believe sophie's said she likes connor so much and she cried over him and she's now asking nas and luke to throw away something so amazing with you and demi."

"if you claim you like a boy, you'd leave with him. if you thought you weren't going to find someone else, you leave. it's as simple as that." eden explained frustratedly.

then, a phone went off. rebecca stood up. "can all islanders gather around the firepit immediately. #decisiontime." eden frowned. she'd barely gotten a chance to speak to luke with all of the sophie and leanne drama. was he expecting her to talk to him and beg him to keep her in? because although she wasn't the type of person to do that, she would've liked to see where his head was at. but now there was no time.

everyone hurriedly made their way towards the lit firepit, where the girls stood in a line and the boys sat together on a couch.

finn was first, and it wasn't a surprise who he was going to pick. after a long and heartfelt speech about how much she meant to him, he announced her name and she joined him on the couch. luke t stood up and did the same, thankfully picking siânnise and she hugged eden before walking over and joining luke on the couch. he fist bumped his best friend secretly before putting one arm around siânnise.

"luke t and siânnise are the best couple ever. besides paige and finn. but they're so genuine and my heart squeezes every time i see them. i want something like that." eden smiled into the camera.

similarly, callum was next and announced that he was picking shaughna which came as no surprise. along with paige and finn, callum and shaughna were basically the old married couples of the villa and everyone knew they were strong. after callum was the newest boy wallace. he hadn't really gotten to know many people besides eden and siânnise but considering both girls were focusing on other boys, he had to make a rash decision.

eventually he chose rebecca, and revealed that they had spoken a few times and discussed that they wanted to get to know each other and see if things went any further. everybody clapped as she joined him on the couch before nas left his seat.

there was five girls left; sophie, leanne, demi, eden and jess, but only three boys to go. it was clear nas was going through a difficult decision, particularly after sophie and leanne had told him they wanted him to pick them.

he pinched the skin between his eyebrows softly and squinted. "i would like to couple up with this girl because not only is she stunning, but she has the personality to match. i would describe her as a bundle of fun, energy and joy," leanne and sophie smiled hopefully but eden nudged demi slightly, realising who he was talking about. "she's changed my experience for the better and i'm excited to see where it goes. so the girl i would like to couple up with is,"

he took a slight pause, looking at his best friend's hopeful faces but then looking at demi's and grinning at her.

"demi." the islanders applauded loudly as she hugged eden and went to embrace nas tightly. as much as he loved leanne and sophie he knew he had to put himself first and there was potential with demi. he knew he wouldn't regret his decision.

second to last was mike, who rose from his seat and smiled smugly at the girls in front of him.

"i would like to couple up with this girl because, like myself, she's been here from the very beginning," shaughna and eden rolled their eyes when he realised he was going to be as vague as possible.

"i believe that her journey's not finished and she definitely has the qualities to make any man happy. her presence is felt in the villa. it would be a shame to see her go," he continued. "so the girl i want to couple up with is, sophie." she smiled gratefully and moved forward to thank mike.

everyone's mouths dropped open at his pettiness. and with only one person left to pick, they wondered how this was really going to go down.
