20x What I thought during the fifth week of Love Island

Well, well, well, what a week it has been. Casa Amor has survived. And honestly: I actually miss it a bit already. It brought some nice drama to the villa and that's honestly what we're here for, right? Yes, drama and Joan and Mert, who are actually the only truly fun couple in the villa. But okay, the aftermath of Casa Amor was also quite entertaining. Because that Raffie, she's going to handle her departure very poorly, right?

1. Yes... Yes. YES. This is the moment that Raffie is going to have a gi-gantic breakdown on TV. I feel it, you feel it, we all feel it.

2. Uh, excuse me? What kind of adult reaction is this? For four weeks, it's been nothing but crying, pure jealousy and claiming Mattie, and now suddenly this? What a disappointment.

3. Why are so many letters being written in the villa? You really have very little to do all day except talk to each other, and still you have so much material to fill ten pages? I find it very impressive.

4. That it's Eilish who is completely broken, I didn't see that coming. And, Gianni, the whole excuse ‘but I thought you had someone too’ is the absolute lamest excuse you could come up with. Just so you know.

5. Feline: ‘I definitely didn't make a choice, Giuliano or Koen.’ Yes, girlfriend, that's exactly what you did and you chose Koen. That you now regret this choice within five seconds is a whole different story.

6. No, not Eilish, not Raffie, but MERT is the one who is crying throughout the villa. Well, this episode is already full of surprises. This man is inconsolable. Do something. Mert? Do you need help?

7. Fabiënne who is so understanding towards Gianni and assures him that ‘the friendship is just fine between us.’ That even that friendship is very meaningless, we've known for a long time. What a dead chemistry those two have.

8. New Islander Alycia who sees herself as the Flemish Kylie Jenner because they are both very entrepreneurial? Does this mean that in Belgium Kylie Jenner is mainly known for her entrepreneurship? Strange. I have the idea that she is known for other things in the Netherlands.

9. ‘Koen thinks that Giuliano talks way too little about Koen.’ HAHA. I don't know what voice-over Sander Lantinga has against Koen, but this is so enjoyable. Koen is Koen's favorite person in the entire universe.

10. Feline who bombards Fabiënne with her ‘you know’ statements, after which Fab just nods and nods and clearly doesn't understand anything. These two are not on the same wavelength at all.

11. This might be me, maybe I'm the only one apathetic here, but what is so interesting about all those childhood photos? I understand that you miss your home front, but on the other hand, you're in a pretty nice villa for four weeks and then crying over a single photo? I find it strange.

12. Fabiënne what she would do if she had one day left to live: ‘book a ticket to America.’ And then? With only one day left to live, you don't really have much chance of seeing the country or even reaching your destination. I don't think she has really thought this through.

13. Hooooly guacamole, Feline, I think you're starting to get a bit whiny. You know? You choose someone else, then regret it and start crying about it to everyone, including Giuliano. And then you also think that he should make an effort for you. That's not entirely logical. You know?

14. So, for that Alycia, it was also a lightning visit. Has this season managed to have a newcomer — excuse me, bombshell — secure a spot in the villa? Only Feline has succeeded. Gianni and Eilish don't count, because they went for each other right away. Okay, and Jaimy then. But otherwise, we are looking at the same people for a total of six weeks.

15. Yes, and Koen of course. But he mainly has eyes for himself. And only talks about himself. He is his own bombshell.

16. I. Am. Done. ‘If I had to take a shot for every time that ... ‘you know’ is said, I would forget 2020 in ten minutes.’ AND FELINE DOESN'T KNOW WHO IT IS. ‘We think it's Mattie.’ No, nobody in all of the Netherlands and Belgium would think it's Mattie. And then also answer the right question with a ‘huuuhhhh...’. ‘Do I really say that so often?’ No. Words. For this.

17. Okay, gossip time. Just in between. I heard someone tell the following story about Remco on Instagram: he has a girlfriend at home for whom he has left a letter every week (so he at least writes letters outside the villa too). I don't know why, but I believe this. Such a weird guy, that man. And Imen is so sweet. That's why I refuse to talk about Remco any further.

18. Really nice that Eilish and Gianni are going to discover their deeper connections. ‘What kind of music do you like?’ ‘Yeah, techno-house with a little voice too...’ Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have a real music connoisseur among us.

19. Still something about Remco, with his ‘I'm a bit done with it’. No, we are a bit done with you, dude. That girl is saying for all of the Netherlands and Belgium that she is in love and you can't say a word and start stuttering a bit. I would like to make the hashtag #RemcoIsOverParty trend. Imen deserves better.

20. Secretly, I find it a shame that there won't be another recoupling. And hello, only FOUR couples are going to the final. I actually don't care who, as long as Joan and Mert win.

Yes, and then Love Island suddenly lasts only two more weeks. I secretly hope that there will be a huge twist. More bombshells. More drama. Because if there are only four couples left, it will just be overly sweet romance or am I seeing that wrong? What are they going to fill the daily program with, with Mert's stories about his mother? No, not for me. Please let the whole villa have a big final party with shot games that we come up with. So yes, a shot for every ‘you know’, every ‘oh my God’, every time Koen talks about Koen, that you see Gianni's white blinkers fully in view and that Mert talks about his mother.

And please, I didn't know I would miss it but it has happened: let Giuliano sing one more time. Do that at the very end. Still Two Minutes from Telekids for example. Saying Goodbye Doesn't Exist. YES. I want that.
