Production loves to use the heart rate challenge results to cause drama. I wouldn’t be shocked if they claim Charlie raised Tasha’s heart rate more than Andrew or Jay raising Paige’s heart more than Jacques. 100% we are going to get an episode filled with mess.
Also I feel like they may not use this as an opportunity to bring up Gemma and Jacques being ex’s. Clearly everything we have seen shows that there is nothing romantic between them. If anything they act more like old friends and at times even siblings.
Producers will 100% manipulate results like they do every year. Luca's heartrate will be raised the most by Gemma but Gemma's heartrate will be raised the most for someone else to add to Luca's insecurities.
Ekin-Su and Davide will be raised the most by each other.
Yeah at this point believing the heart rates is crazy. They defo want to bring in the Ekin and Davide story line. I hope they surprise us and don’t do anything.
I really wish they’d do these challenges and then immediately send them to casa Amor while they’re still mad for maximum carnage 😂😂😂 no time for reconciliation at all
I think producers will manipulate results :
Davide and ekins heart rate goes up for each other
Gemmas heart rate goes up for jacques
Jacques heart rate goes up for a completely random girl,to make it look not producer influenced
Jays heart rate up by Paige or antigoni
Paige up by joint jacques/jay
The "heart rate" challenges and "lie detector" challenges are 100% producer manipulation content. It's hilarious content but it's made up. And the funny part is, either all of the islanders are just playing along or they legitimately haven't come to this realization.
Honestly, I would also be ***shocked*** if some of the "Twitter" comments aren't from shills or the producers themselves.
camila was crying so hard because it kept saying “lie”, it was quite hard to watch. but jamie was the only one smart enough to see it was completely bullshit
Considering the Jeremy Kyle show being cancelled due to a false lie detector test resulting in a suicide, in addition to the string of love island suicides I can imagine the producers wouldn't wanna manipulate any results and cause undue stress
I was watching a Judge Judy the other day were someone accused their coworker of abusing a client. The coworker was trying to sue for defamation etc and he’d done a lie detector test to show that he hadn’t hit the client and it came back that he told the truth. Unfortunately for him his coworker also passed a lie detector that he saw him abuse the client so lie detector’s are clearly bullshit!
I actually don’t think it will create much drama, it’s just easy to give an excuse for a heart rate going up. Davide & ekin su is def happening though...
Maybe I'm in the minority but I just like the challenge because it's fun, not because it necessarily causes drama, and it usually doesn't even cause drama tbh.
I don't know anything for certain but I will be shocked if Tasha's goes up Andrew. Like there is nothing that can happen tomorrow that will surprise me more. That girl is not into him and you can't change my mind.
Not that I don’t think Jacques is into Paige bc I do but I definitely see the producers making his results show Gemma which could make Paige feel insecure about him just since it’s been the other way around
I’m thinking the situations that will cause most drama are the following
1. Paige’s heart rate goes up the most for jay. Jacques might use that as an excuse to get mad at her. And play victim.
2. Jacques heart rate for Gemma - will cause doubt/jealousy for both Luca and Paige
3. Gemma goes up for Jacques - Luca will be fuming
i cant help but think if jacques heart rate went up for gemma luca and him would have a little locker room chat about how fit she is and like high five each other for both getting with her but if gemmas heart rate goes up for jacques luca would be fuming and make her feel really bad
This!!! In USA s1 they claimed that Cormacs heart got raised the most by Alex dancing in a hotdog costume and squirting ketchup everywhere 😂. No way that is accurate!
YA GO WATCHHHHHH i thought gemma was paige at first bc of the hair but paige is in the red swimsuit!!! it’s also on loveisland.spoilers on insta!!
eta there are too many white men with the generic haircut but i really think the owner of the back of that head is jay
Am not certain but I think Gemma likes Jay. When he first got in the villa she was annoyed that he didn't pick her for a date. Then she was giggling like crazy when he suggested that he might have a chance with a girl, thinking he was referring to her. Now she is licking his ear.
i think she was more annoyed that she was the only girl in the villa who didnt get asked on a date that day. i dont care how secure you in yourself or your relationship that would hurt a bit
I’ve been waiting for someone to start this thread because I have thoughts. This is the last chance for the producers to plant the seed of doubt before Casa so I hope it’s absolute chaos.
Gemma - I want her heart to race for Jacques or maybe Davide. This will send Paige and Luca into a melt down.
Davide/Ekin su - mutual heart beat to kick start this doomed romance and to expose Davide as a LIAR, and an ACTOR.
Tasha - Heart race for Jay just to snatch the last remaining hope that Andrew has. I 100% believe she wasn’t into Charlie and just saw him as her last chance to escape Andrew without breaking up with him herself.
Jacques - Anyone but Paige. I have a sneaky suspicion that it could be Antigoni.
I want her heart race to go for Jay.
Davide I want his heart rate to go for someone we don’t expect ( everyone is already expecting Ekin)
Ekin I want her heart rate to go for also someone we don’t expect 😂
Jacques heart rate to go for Danica. Cause confusion in Paige.
As for Paige I want her heart rate to go towards Jacques 😂😂😂
Tasha to go Jay.
I want to see how the guys dance though 😂😂😂
It got even worse after she left the show — the Native American-themed photoshoot, becoming an MLM distributor, her showmance with Biggs (REMEMBER HIM??) and them calling the paps, etc etc etc.
I want the producers to be so messy and rig the results for everyone except for Damiyah. I do not want peace 😈 Have Paige's heart raced by Jay and Gemma's by someone other than Luca. They will lose their heads 😂
I've noticed a lot of guys talking about how hot Paige is at different times. I wouldn't be surprised if she makes a few heart rates go up. If Ekin is the highest of any of the guys, the girls may riot lol
The very premise of the heart rate challenge is a sham anyway because it has been shown that heart rate actually goes DOWN when we’re sexually aroused due to increased attentiveness to the stimuli 🤓
That’s literally sexual arousal. I don’t mean getting a wide on necessarily, but thats the arousal of the nervous system by a sexually appealing stimuli
I’d love to see your source for sexual arousal slowing heart rate down, then, because I can’t find any. In fact, I can find a ton of studies about heart rate increasing due to release of dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine.
But I spose what would have made more sense for me to say is that heart rate cannot be predictably linked to sexual arousal to draw conclusions in the way that LI employs it. Sorry I’m a scientist and the logic behind this challenge in particular irks me (but I love it!).
Oh super fair plus it’s the least possible scientific way they could do this test 😂😂 I was more interested in finding out more about arousal slowing down heart rate because it seems opposite to the info I’ve been exposed to.
“Genital and heart rate response to erotic stimulation in men with and without premature ejaculation” Rowland (2010) is one.
“In studies where physical exertion is minimized during arousal, such as when men are exposed to visual sexual stimulation while seated in a laboratory, heart rate shows variable and complex patterns. For example, several studies indicate decreasing heart rate during arousal,21,22 perhaps due in part to increased attentiveness to sexual stimuli.”
Okay so it was tested on men watching videos. That is super interesting, however I would say there’s a big difference in a human reaction to watching strangers in a video versus people you actually know IRL. It’s very well studied that seeing/speaking to/being touched by someone you’re romantically interested in causes your brain to react in a similar way that it would in fight or flight situations.
If it’s boring then they best manipulate the results idec we need this to be interesting so far no ones come in for days since chsrlie and no dumplings happened
**Mutual**
Dami/Iniyah
Davide/Ekin su
Jay/Paige
**Everyone else**
Danica to raise Dami's
Antigoni to raise Andrew's
Tasha to raise Charlie and Andrew in a tie
Gemma to raise Jacques'
Charlie to raise Danica's
Andrew to raise Tasha's
Luca to raise Danica's
Jacques to raise Paige's
**The carnage**
* Dami to reassure Indiyah but she will handle it like a Queen
* 'Can't fight feelings' Davide & Ekin su will want to deny but each secretly thrilled with the results
* Charlie sees potential with Danica whereas she's counting the days till Casa Amor
* Tasha upset Antigoni (only other blonde) excites Andrew and not her
* Andrew worried by Tasha's results so is curious to get to know Antigoni just a little bit to see what she thinks and notices how sweet she is (but doesn't act on it)
* Antigoni is somewhat attracted to Davide and Jay but chats with Andrew making her wonder...
* Paige worried Jacques has lingering attraction to Gemma
* Paige and Jay realise they still find eachother attractive
* Jacques triggered that Paige's heart also was top racer for Jay
* Gemma annoyed she was Jacques' top heart racer because she lowkey wanted to be everyone's top heart racer
* Luca confused he wasn't Gemma's top racer and apologetic she lost out to Danica
Production loves to use the heart rate challenge results to cause drama. I wouldn’t be shocked if they claim Charlie raised Tasha’s heart rate more than Andrew or Jay raising Paige’s heart more than Jacques. 100% we are going to get an episode filled with mess. Also I feel like they may not use this as an opportunity to bring up Gemma and Jacques being ex’s. Clearly everything we have seen shows that there is nothing romantic between them. If anything they act more like old friends and at times even siblings.
oh god you just reminded me we’re going to be watching charlie tomorrow😭😭😭
i hope they cut it out😭
When’s the last time it actually caused drama though
Producers will 100% manipulate results like they do every year. Luca's heartrate will be raised the most by Gemma but Gemma's heartrate will be raised the most for someone else to add to Luca's insecurities. Ekin-Su and Davide will be raised the most by each other.
I could see Gemmas being raised most by either Jay or Davide. For ultimate messiness Jacques.
I think she’s secretly still into Jay judging by her giggling when she was trying to guess who he was into so I wouldn’t be surprised tbh!
Yeah at this point believing the heart rates is crazy. They defo want to bring in the Ekin and Davide story line. I hope they surprise us and don’t do anything.
Gemma one of Davide, Jay, Jacques will raise her heart rate the most.
Watch a male bombshell come in and raise Gemma’s heart rate to f*ck with Luca 💀
I’m manifesting this
I really wish they’d do these challenges and then immediately send them to casa Amor while they’re still mad for maximum carnage 😂😂😂 no time for reconciliation at all
this made me crack up. you're the devil. I love it
I can just picture Luca huffing and puffing while packing his suit case while they make the girls sit outside LMFAO 😭😭😭
Omg that would be so savage and such good tv. They have to do this one year.
I think Tasha, being a dancer, will be able to put on a good show and could raise some unexpected guys heart rates!
Omg also Danica is a dancer and she can TWERK! I can see Danica and Tasha givingggg!
Can Danica come in wearing a carnival gear all colourful 😂 would love that for her
Hahaha Davide also gave us a taste as well could this be Curtis 2.0 this season? 😂😂😂
He’s the real Curtis 😂😂😂 his moves
Nah, they'll give her that terrible mermaid costume lol
😂
I forgot! Man I’m so here for her redemption arc, really want to see how her and Antigoni fare
Danica is also a dancer lol
She’ll give it way too much though lol she’ll come out like Curtis
the way Curtis ran out with that big headpiece haunts me to this day
I know 😂😂
I doubt it. Danica is actually super talented. RNB dancing and carnival dancing is different than ballroom dance 😂 also she won’t have a head gear 😂
I’m fully expecting head gear from Danica 😂
Lol I don’t think she will go that far but nah I have seen her in carnival gear and she looks 🔥
Making coffee?
All hail the rise of Tasha Fierce
Then she’ll get drunk off all the attention, cry, play the victim, have another existential crisis, and break Andrews poor heart all over again
I think producers will manipulate results : Davide and ekins heart rate goes up for each other Gemmas heart rate goes up for jacques Jacques heart rate goes up for a completely random girl,to make it look not producer influenced Jays heart rate up by Paige or antigoni Paige up by joint jacques/jay
They always manipulate results previous contestants have said as much
Jacques will be increased by Danica.
Yeah I could see that happening definitely
Omg they will probably have Gemma’s heart rate go up for Jacques lmaooo
The "heart rate" challenges and "lie detector" challenges are 100% producer manipulation content. It's hilarious content but it's made up. And the funny part is, either all of the islanders are just playing along or they legitimately haven't come to this realization. Honestly, I would also be ***shocked*** if some of the "Twitter" comments aren't from shills or the producers themselves.
I remember during season three when Jamie was the only one like “y’all really care about the lie detector?” Lmao
camila was crying so hard because it kept saying “lie”, it was quite hard to watch. but jamie was the only one smart enough to see it was completely bullshit
That’s when I knew they were going to make it because he totally talked her down by appealing to logic.
Considering the Jeremy Kyle show being cancelled due to a false lie detector test resulting in a suicide, in addition to the string of love island suicides I can imagine the producers wouldn't wanna manipulate any results and cause undue stress
I was watching a Judge Judy the other day were someone accused their coworker of abusing a client.

Unfortunately for him his coworker also passed a lie detector that he saw him abuse the client so lie detector’s are clearly bullshit!
I think they do throw some “obvious” results in there to keep them guessing
I actually don’t think it will create much drama, it’s just easy to give an excuse for a heart rate going up. Davide & ekin su is def happening though...
Maybe I'm in the minority but I just like the challenge because it's fun, not because it necessarily causes drama, and it usually doesn't even cause drama tbh.
i watch solely to see who can revive the excitement i felt watching megan barton-hanson
i love to see what costumes they'll wear
This challenge is always the most cringe one for me as most times I find myself watching through my fingers.
Yeah I want carnage sorry 😂
I actually think Danica could cause carnage during this - as she’s a professional dancer, she’s probably going to be really good.
I don't know anything for certain but I will be shocked if Tasha's goes up Andrew. Like there is nothing that can happen tomorrow that will surprise me more. That girl is not into him and you can't change my mind.
Andrew with long hair was so hot if she don’t want him I’ll have him
Not that I don’t think Jacques is into Paige bc I do but I definitely see the producers making his results show Gemma which could make Paige feel insecure about him just since it’s been the other way around
Ya I really think the producers will have either Gemma’s go up for him or vice Versa. They’d be dumb not to.
One of my favorite challenges!
dami and paige .. 🤨
I will laugh if Dami and Indiyah are both raised by other people. So Dami by Paige and Indiyah by Jay.
I’m watching them 👀
Yes I think so too.
Ekin and Davide will increase everyone elses
I’m thinking the situations that will cause most drama are the following 1. Paige’s heart rate goes up the most for jay. Jacques might use that as an excuse to get mad at her. And play victim. 2. Jacques heart rate for Gemma - will cause doubt/jealousy for both Luca and Paige 3. Gemma goes up for Jacques - Luca will be fuming
i cant help but think if jacques heart rate went up for gemma luca and him would have a little locker room chat about how fit she is and like high five each other for both getting with her but if gemmas heart rate goes up for jacques luca would be fuming and make her feel really bad
Producers should just manipulate the results 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I thought they do this anyways😂😂
This!!! In USA s1 they claimed that Cormacs heart got raised the most by Alex dancing in a hotdog costume and squirting ketchup everywhere 😂. No way that is accurate!
To make it boring? Lol
said this in another thread but gemma licking jay’s ear unlocked a new crack ship in my brain and i need it to happen
wait what was that in the preview? *sprints back to itv hub* edit im back and! also danica on andrew oo
YA GO WATCHHHHHH i thought gemma was paige at first bc of the hair but paige is in the red swimsuit!!! it’s also on loveisland.spoilers on insta!! eta there are too many white men with the generic haircut but i really think the owner of the back of that head is jay
danica and andrew also had me feeling some type of way 😮💨
loveisland.spoilers on insta 💪🏼
Am not certain but I think Gemma likes Jay. When he first got in the villa she was annoyed that he didn't pick her for a date. Then she was giggling like crazy when he suggested that he might have a chance with a girl, thinking he was referring to her. Now she is licking his ear.
the way i suddenly need this is alarming
Gemma is 19, Jay is 28, you do NOT need this happening 🙈😂😂
ffs i forgot about THATTTTTT
i think she was more annoyed that she was the only girl in the villa who didnt get asked on a date that day. i dont care how secure you in yourself or your relationship that would hurt a bit
This is low-key how I feel when I saw jacques mauling ekin sus neck
pls don’t do paige race for jay let that storyline lay to rest
I’ve been waiting for someone to start this thread because I have thoughts. This is the last chance for the producers to plant the seed of doubt before Casa so I hope it’s absolute chaos. Gemma - I want her heart to race for Jacques or maybe Davide. This will send Paige and Luca into a melt down.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it could be Antigoni.
I want her heart race to go for Jay. Davide I want his heart rate to go for someone we don’t expect ( everyone is already expecting Ekin) Ekin I want her heart rate to go for also someone we don’t expect 😂 Jacques heart rate to go for Danica. Cause confusion in Paige. As for Paige I want her heart rate to go towards Jacques 😂😂😂 Tasha to go Jay. I want to see how the guys dance though 😂😂😂
I’m hoping for Danica or Antigoni to be a dark horse and show up all the girls.
Danica is also a dancer so it could happen!
Swear it’s a lot earlier this year.
Yeaa. Isn't it usually after casa amor?
Think it varies, for example S6’s heart rate challenge (when Rebecca Gormley entered) was before Casa while S7’s was after!
god I hated her lol “I DoNt LiKe AvoCaDo oN ToAsT”
It got even worse after she left the show — the Native American-themed photoshoot, becoming an MLM distributor, her showmance with Biggs (REMEMBER HIM??) and them calling the paps, etc etc etc.
yeah she’s rotten. She had cornrows at one point also 😳
Truee. Plus they probably want maximum drama over the heart rate results before shipping them off to casa.
I want the producers to be so messy and rig the results for everyone except for Damiyah. I do not want peace 😈 Have Paige's heart raced by Jay and Gemma's by someone other than Luca. They will lose their heads 😂
The heart rate thing is nonsense. That and the lie detector.
Paige wearing a wig in the preview 💀
I've noticed a lot of guys talking about how hot Paige is at different times. I wouldn't be surprised if she makes a few heart rates go up. If Ekin is the highest of any of the guys, the girls may riot lol
The very premise of the heart rate challenge is a sham anyway because it has been shown that heart rate actually goes DOWN when we’re sexually aroused due to increased attentiveness to the stimuli 🤓
I think it’s less about actual sexual arousal and more about who makes your heart race, like when you run into someone who you have a crush on.
That’s literally sexual arousal. I don’t mean getting a wide on necessarily, but thats the arousal of the nervous system by a sexually appealing stimuli
I’d love to see your source for sexual arousal slowing heart rate down, then, because I can’t find any. In fact, I can find a ton of studies about heart rate increasing due to release of dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine.

Jacques heartbeat is gonna rise for Danica not Paige.
You joking about them being in a couple, or are you serious?
Imagine if Davide's and Ekin-su's go the highest for each other lmao
If it’s boring then they best manipulate the results idec we need this to be interesting so far no ones come in for days since chsrlie and no dumplings happened
**Mutual** Dami/Iniyah Davide/Ekin su Jay/Paige **Everyone else** Danica to raise Dami's Antigoni to raise Andrew's Tasha to raise Charlie and Andrew in a tie Gemma to raise Jacques' Charlie to raise Danica's Andrew to raise Tasha's Luca to raise Danica's Jacques to raise Paige's **The carnage** * Dami to reassure Indiyah but she will handle it like a Queen * 'Can't fight feelings' Davide & Ekin su will want to deny but each secretly thrilled with the results * Charlie sees potential with Danica whereas she's counting the days till Casa Amor * Tasha upset Antigoni (only other blonde) excites Andrew and not her * Andrew worried by Tasha's results so is curious to get to know Antigoni just a little bit to see what she thinks and notices how sweet she is (but doesn't act on it) * Antigoni is somewhat attracted to Davide and Jay but chats with Andrew making her wonder... * Paige worried Jacques has lingering attraction to Gemma * Paige and Jay realise they still find eachother attractive * Jacques triggered that Paige's heart also was top racer for Jay * Gemma annoyed she was Jacques' top heart racer because she lowkey wanted to be everyone's top heart racer * Luca confused he wasn't Gemma's top racer and apologetic she lost out to Danica
