Episode 10 is out now!
“I’ve fucked it.”
Were the last words of a man in a villa who had just ensured that no one was going to want to sleep with him for the foreseeable future.
During last night’s Love Island, Tom Walker provided a masterclass on how to offend, piss off, and disrespect a woman all in one fell swoop.
Maura, on the other hand, taught us how best to respond to someone who is more intent on impressing the lads than being a nice person.
It all went down like this:
Maura, Tom, and a few of the others were sat around the fire pit. Maura got a text. Maura screamed that she got a text. Maura’s text revealed that she had won a night in the hideaway with a guy of her choice. The fire pit erupted.
Tom ran off with the lads, Maura ran off with the girls but not before declaring that things were going to “get frisky.”
She proceeded to say that she wasn’t going to have sex with Tom because she had only kissed him three (3) times, and one of those was in a challenge.
The entire discussion with the rest of the girls was light enough, peppered with giggling, hushed tones, and the odd bit of semi-screeching. Maura seemed unsure about what was going to happen with Tom, but happy enough to go and find out.
Over with the guys, it was a bit of a different story. They were falling over each other, shouting, slipping Tom condoms like they were bribing him for early entry to an upcoming George Ezra gig.
It was a lot, but hey, it’s an exciting time, the villa might get its first fully fledged ride, what’re you gonna do?
Despite all of the chronic LADSLADSLADS behaviour, nothing too inherently woeful actually happened until Tom started saying: “Let’s see if she’s all mouth.”

Here, he was referring to the fact that Maura tends to be quite open about enjoying sex, suggesting that if she didn’t want to sleep with him in the hideaway, her actions and behaviour before this would have somehow been void.
Let us not forget that although Maura does talk about sex, being horny, and having her legs wrapped around people’s heads, very little of that chat has been directed at Tom.
And even if it was, that still doesn’t mean that he gets to assume she’s going to sleep with him.
Having an interest in sex, speaking openly about your desires, and being vocal about your sexuality are, at their core, all positive things.
However, when it’s a woman doing these things, it can often be assumed that she’ll be willing to have sex at the drop of a hat or – in this case – the opening of the hideaway.
There’s an expectation that often comes with sex positive women. That they’re easy, that they’re desperate, that they’re willing do anything. When really, the reality tends to be that they simply know what they want and who they want it from.
And in this case, it wasn’t from a guy who’s shouting about someone being “all mouth” just to appear the Big Lad in front of the boys.
In tonight’s episode, Maura will continue to say she doesn’t want to spend the night with Tom. She’ll call him out for trying to be a lad, saying she won’t “let anyone talk about me like a piece of garbage.”
She’ll also tell him to fuck off another seven or so times, much to the delight of the Molly-Mae, Anton, and the rest of the entire country, really.
Some of the guys will attempt to tell Maura that what happened was just a miscommunication and that Tom only said what he said “to play up to the boys a bit.”
But as she, the rest of the girls, and essentially everybody else who took to Twitter following last night’s show knows, “playing up to the boys” isn’t really an excuse for shitty behaviour anymore.
So maybe she’s not all talk. Maybe she just doesn’t want to sleep with you.
