Week Three of Love Island inevitably felt like a damp squib after the tempestuous triangle that was Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae, and Maura.
Arabella, Anton, Danny, and Yewande didn’t come close to being remotely interesting. Even they wouldn’t dispute that.
The way they dominated the last few days was decidedly dubious though – taking all the attention away from more contentious, compelling, aspects such as Lucie’s distress over Joe’s elimination.

If you took the way the last few episodes were edited at face value, Maura just instantly gave up on Tommy, while he and Molly-Mae look ready to settle down and live happily ever after.
Nobody can seriously think Tommy didn't even give Arabella Chi a second glance, or barely talk to her.
If this week’s action/relationships weren’t distorted/faked then last week’s were.
The only thing more unlikely than Danny resisting Arabella to stay with Yewande was the idea that the leggy blonde would seriously be interested in Anton (as the programme would have us believe).

Again, even Anton can’t have really fallen for it (unlike falling for her) – just because she tolerated him during their ‘date’, making platitudes like: ‘you’re a lot better looking in real life’ (a back-handed compliment) and ‘You've got a great tan. I love a tan.’
His main source of hope was that their names both began with the same letter: ‘Operation AA is back on!’
‘This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. My prayers have been answered!’ he cheered. But this would take a miracle.
When Arabella described kissing Anton as ‘horrendous’ she sealed his fate.

She clearly preferred Danny but even that surely won’t last a fortnight.
‘Aesthetically, Danny’s very beautiful to look at,’ she mused (which was fair comment), adding ‘he’s mesmerising’ (which wasn’t).
Danny is actually the most boring, bland, beauty in there – like a cardboard cut out but with less personality. He seemed to genuinely believe it when he told Arabella: ‘I do yoga as well! And boxing! This is so weird!’
Two models on Love Island who do yoga and boxing…What are the odds eh?
Danny was already bored of waiting for Yewande to show any feelings before Arabella arrived in the villa like some kind of (long) golden goddess. And for her part Yewande wasn’t sure if she had any feelings to reveal.
Maura summed it up when she carped: ‘I really can’t see Danny and Yewande working at all!’
The others talked her into taking action but it was so forced Danny and Arabella both saw it for what it was and just laughed it off.
Not happy: ‘I am f**king livid!’ Yewande told her pals after Arabella shrugged off Yewande’s attempt to be ‘territorial'
The more the show tried to make it into even a choice let alone another love triangle the more ridiculous it seemed.
