ALL the favourites got wheeled out - naughty nurse (Priya), sexy Vampire (Kaz), and corruptible Cowgirl (Liberty). Then the outfit choices started to get a bit weird... As for the boys? Suffice to say, there better not be any water shortages upcoming because the amount of liquid being squirted out of drinking bottles as performance props was entirely unwarranted. But first...
How will he win over Kaz?! With a "romantic gesture" a la Love Actually (originality is KING). Well, he did want to make it "rememberable." So, what did he do? Enlist two of THE most romantic minds in there – Liam and Jake – and devised the following; sending Kaz on a textual treasure hunt (she managed to amass quite a number of phones) around the Villa before reading a few words scrawled across all the Villa handtowels.
Well, it's hard not to when he's sat half-naked with Mary talking about how many kids they'd both like to have approximately five feet away from her. As for what Jake and Mary were talking about - doors opening, closing, the usual dirge.
Not only that, the night prior Jake stopped Lib from going to "give Kaz a massive cuddle" after her moment with Tyler. Jake literally held her back and then hugged Kaz himself. She read the "staged" side of it – as in he wanted the moment with Kaz with fewer people in the camera shot. Rightly, this gave Liberty the "ick."

When she brought it up with him at bedtime, he led with the patented indignation of a person snared in a corner with the comeback, "Oh my God, you serious?!"

So, we had the nurse, the vamp and the cowgirl. And then it moved on to a very amorous police officer (Millie), a very awkward Ariel (Mary), Sexy Stig (Faye), and a buxom ballroom dancer (Chloe).

Then, it was time for the boys. Things kicked off with a (VERY SWEATY) Lumberjack Liam; now infertile 'Football Player' Tyler; and a very horny little Viking Jake. Then, Aaron descended as an easily disrobed airline pilot, "who had the confidence of the Prime Minister", while Teddy brought his "PHD" to the party, and Brett was some kind of official Egyptian sort. Lastly, Toby came out... He got props... he got a telephone box, spat water everywhere, before doing a roly-poly. WHAT. MOVES. Speaking of moves, all the boys just did the same "straddle face and hope for the best" – apart from Jake, who pulled out ALL the Chippendale manoeuvres.
• Faye's heartrate was raised most by partner Teddy
• Liberty's was raised the most by Jake
• Kaz's heart rate was raised most by Brett, not by partner Tyler
• Millie's was raised the most by Teddy, not her partner Liam...
• Priya's raised the most by Brett
• Mary's raised the most by Teddy, not her partner Aaron
• Chloe's heart was raised the most by Toby. Naw.
• Conversely, Toby's heartrate was upped most by Chloe AND Millie

• Tyler's was raised most by Kaz
• Teddy's raised most by Faye and Millie
• Aaron's heartrate was raised most by Kaz, not by partner Mary (well, she was dressed as Ariel)
• Liam's heartrate was raised most by Millie
• Jake's heartrate was raised by Millie, not Liberty
• Aaaand Brett's heartrate was raised most by Liberty, not Priya
The team that raised the most heart rates collectively were... the girls. The person invariably most put out by the results will definitely be Jake, who didn't get anyone's heart racing to the max, apart from Liberty. So, the only thing left for him to do is remind Liberty that she's HIS GIRLFRIEND.
