Love Island 2024: The Couples Who Secretly Despise Each Other—Ranked from Best to Worst!

We are just two weeks away from the finale and there is still a lot of tension in the Love Island villa. This summer has been piping hot with all the tea that has happened this season. Apparently, the lack of the usual challenges up until recent episodes has been a decision made by the producers because there has been SO much drama between cast members already. Recent challenges of Game, Sex, Match and Snog, Marry, Pie have created some decisive moments where all previous underlying tensions have come to a head. I’m obsessed.

There’s a lot to be said about the remaining couples and their true compatibility. So, despite all of them low-key hating each other, here are all the Love Island 2024 couples ranked.

7. Lolly and Konnor

I don’t really have much to say about these two. They are a fairly new couple and seem like they were just the only two single Islanders left and went for one another. Not that there isn’t attraction there perhaps, we just haven’t seen it. I’m just a bit bored and if Konnor could make it to the final on his own, I would vote for him for that. He is an angel.

6. Grace and Reuben

Another couple I don’t have much to say about. We all know that Grace does not like Reuben really. I too would have preferred to have my bowl of cereal for breakfast than endure another “catch-up” chat with him. They are both stunning individuals, but do not have the potential to last on the outside. Get Grace a collab with White Fox or something when she’s out though. I’ll buy.

5. Mimii and Josh

Mimii 1,000 per cent should be in the final, just without Josh. He seems like a sound bloke, but we all know he wanted to go for Grace really. I think he just went all for our girl Mimii to be in the favour of the public. He likes her definitely, but not enough. Mimii definitely does not like him. I said what I said.

4. Jess and Ayo

via ITV

Jess is the NICEST girl ever. I think she should have come in a lot sooner than Casa Amour, maybe then she wouldn’t have been caught up with the still existing love triangle with Mimii and Ayo. Let’s face it, these two would have gotten back together. It’s a bit like when Toby from season seven switched up after ditching Chloe, then decided he wanted her again. These men, honestly. Maybe Ayo can be a new recruit to Destiny’s Chaldish.

3. Matilda and Sean

via ITV

I actually love these guys. Matilda has always been a fave, but up until post Casa Amour I never really got Sean. His constant references to sweets and calling himself the “candy man” just made me cringe at my TV. I think these two have real potential to be in the final. They really do suit each other so well.

2. Jessy and Joey

via ITV

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I LOVE Joey and Jessy together. I disagree with Matilda, I do think Joey is OVER Grace, his ego just can’t comprehend that she is over him. On the other hand, Joey and Jessy fulfil some kind of weird romance novel trope for me, like just unlikely lovers. Jessy is your girl-next-door kind of girl, and Joey is, well, Joey Essex. I really do think he is obsessed with her even though he has got a big mouth. Though he has done some winding up, I do think these two could last outside of the villa. Plus, their names just go so well together.

1. Nicole and Ciaran

via ITV

Obviously I’m going to give these Welsh icons a 10/10 ranking. You can just see how much they like each other. Even with Nicole’s over the top antagonisations towards him throughout the season, Ciaran still hasn’t left her side. If I was a boy, I most definitely would have.  She could be so annoying. However, they have just stuck and are now boyfriend and girlfriend. It seems silly that they wouldn’t be in the final and take home the win.

Based on these rankings, the only correct predictions for the final will place Nicole and Ciaran in first place, Matilda and Sean in second and Jessy and Joey in third (obvs). Four fourth place lets expect Mimii and Josh or Jess and Ayo based on their rizz so far.

After those terrace antics (or lack thereof), looks like Mimii and Ayo won’t be getting back together. Perhaps at least one of them in their respective couples will be in the final as both are unforgettable OG’s.
