Olivia Hawkins is by far some of the uncommon Love Island contestants we have ever had, so to talk delicate.
I, together with many others, had actually excessive expectations for her. She appeared to reach with the hearth of Maura Higgins – and there is actually no different Love Islander I like greater than Maura.
Sadly, Maura is not.
“Can I invite you for a chat?” appears to have develop into a every day query from Olivia, both with Tom Clare (who regarded like he had little interest in her from the beginning) or along with her new goal Kai Fagan, who – like most individuals watching at house – has develop into exhausted by her.
However may she unwittingly be Kai’s successful ticket to the finals? I feel so.
Regardless of insisting she would not like confrontations, Olivia will most likely be remembered because the islander with essentially the most confrontations and not likely having an excuse to assist them.
It was very uncomfortable to look at from the beginning. Stranger nonetheless, the opposite women within the villa are all the time behind her. What have the remainder of us missed?

In Wednesday evening’s episode — virtually per week after the islanders reunited after a sometimes explosive reconnection — the mud nonetheless hasn’t settled for Olivia.
Simply to refresh your reminiscence, Olivia and Kai had been paired up previous to Casa Amor, however each discovered new bombshells throughout their very quick time aside.
On paper, each side appeared fairly elated with their new matches, so in idea everybody ought to be capable to transfer on and have amusing. That was not the case.
Regardless of returning smugly with Maxwell Samuda on her arm, when Olivia noticed Kai wanting as elated as herself sitting subsequent to Sanam Harrinanan, she flushed, immediately puffing up like a girl scorned.
Solely she wasn’t actually despised. Removed from it.
Her connection to Kai was lukewarm at finest, not even the strongest in a sequence with no actual connections. Both method, it is wonderful that she nonetheless has so little self-awareness to be mad at Kai for re-pairing with another person, whereas additionally pairing up with another person on the identical time.
Since then, she has accomplished little to ease the stress, regardless of claims she simply needs peace.
Their ultimate argument was barely completely different.
Earlier within the week, after a number of arguments between Kai and Olivia debating who the “faux” was, in a problem asking him who he thought the faux was, he randomly selected Claudia Fogerty, who was – admittedly – a curveball .
Nevertheless, he had good motive.
When Olivia requested why he hadn’t picked her — like a child disregarded of a recreation — Kai defined that he simply did not need to argue along with her. How fallacious he was.
As an alternative, Olivia mentioned his peace tactic solely proved he was the faux after which one other fully pointless drama ensued.
Allowing for, this occurs on a regular basis and poor Maxwell appears helplessly on the woman he is been paired up with, seemingly spending extra time yelling at her “ex” than spending any significant time with him.
Even on their first official date, from what we had been proven, she largely spent it speaking unfavorably about Kai. At this level, you are extra more likely to discover a successful lottery ticket than somebody exterior the villa who’s in Olivia’s nook.
Whereas Kai might really feel like he is in some hellish Groundhog day-nightmare, I feel Oliva simply could be one of the best factor that might occur to him.
Till Casa Amor, I used to be fairly detached to Kai. He was a personality for positive, however by no means fairly on my radar sufficient to have a robust opinion of him anyway. Most of all, he was the man who acquired Tanyel Revan soiled and of everybody on this present line-up, she was the one one I’d stroll on scorching coals for.
Nevertheless, since Casa Amor all that has modified. He has responded with nothing however dignity to Olivia’s makes an attempt at mayhem, which clearly confuses her much more.
It is fairly apparent that Olivia barely enters his thoughts till she “pulls him in for a chat” and he comes throughout as charming, respectful, and now – I’ll go there – my potential winner.
Like every sequence, Casa Amor fully flips all the pieces we all know, shifting the dynamics to an unrecognizable diploma.
Certainly one of my favourite Love Islanders in a very long time, Will Younger cheated on Jessie Wynter the second she was out of sight. In the meantime, Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad began off robust, however have degenerated into an irreparable mess and – judging by the scenes in Film Evening – they will not get any higher.
In flip, Kai and his beloved couple may have emerged with Sanam because the most secure wager for glory.
Simply take a look at 2019’s Love Island winner Amber Gill, who bagged the £50,000 prize regardless of solely being with Greg O’Shea for just a few weeks. An enormous a part of that was basically how she handled the betrayal of Michael Griffiths.
It was a shining instance of dusting off the cobwebs and holding her head increased than many people would if positioned in the identical grim scenario.
Likewise, Kai has confirmed himself to be manufactured from stronger stuff than many people can think about, dismissing Olivia’s tried confrontations and strolling away when so many others would chew.
He has displayed a grace and dignity not usually seen on Love Island – and even exterior of the present by many.
I did not assume I would be saying this per week in the past, however I am throwing it out now – Kai and Sanam for the win.
Lastly we’ve got what appears like a worthy successful couple.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
