LOVE Island fans claimed the show is "fixed" tonight after Samantha Kenny was dumped from the villa. The power was placed in the bombshells' hands tonight as they were given first picks in the latest recoupling . Grace Jackson picked her ex-boyfriend Joey Essex after rekindling their romance in the villa.
The pair dated for six weeks earlier this year and still harbour feelings for one another. When all the other pairings were complete Samantha was the sole singleton meaning her time on the show had come to an end. Viewers feel she was a sacrificial lamb in the series and claimed Joey and Grace were always going to be a thing from the moment the blonde bombshell arrived.
One wrote on X: "As they intend for Joey and Grace to become fan favorites (fixed) they had to get rid of Samantha because she wasn’t making them look good." Another said: "I hope nobody is buying this touching Joey and Grace reunion. It’s a fix and they aren’t even bothering to pretend #loveIsland.
" A third posted: "Joey and grace is giving this is preplanned, fixed, behind the scenes, strings being pulled." After her exit, Sam said: "I was true to myself and didn't feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me. When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.
"Ronnie’s more my type than Joey was, but I feel like Ronnie didn’t pursue anything with me because he didn’t want to go up against Joey." Newbie G.
