Curtis Pritchard, who previously appeared on Love Island, has been dumped from the villa for the second time. The 27-year-old star returned to the hit dating franchise for Love Island The Games, a new spin-off series featuring UK and international contestants. However, Curtis' comeback did not go as planned, as he and his partner Lisa Celander from Love Island Sweden were voted off the show.
Low votes lead to elimination
Curtis and his ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins, who ended up in fourth place, received the least amount of votes from the public. As a result, they were put on the chopping block by Ray Gantt and Imani Wheeler. Other familiar Love Island faces, such as Liberty Poole and Callum Hole, were also at risk of being dumped.
A twist in the recoupling
Georgia Steel and Eyal Booker entered the villa as new contestants and had the power to choose their partners. Georgia chose Toby Aromolaran, while Eyal paired up with Cely Vasquez. This decision ensured their safety from the dumping. However, the remaining couples decided to save each other, leaving Curtis and Lisa axed from the villa.
Disappointment and frustration
Before leaving, Curtis expressed his disappointment to the other boys, saying, "You win some, you lose some." In a confessional with producers, he fumed, "I feel like I haven't had my time to shine and I shouldn't have to leave the villa." The decision to dump Curtis and Lisa was made by UK personality Jack Fowler, who was coupled up with USA personality Justine Ndiba.
Tough decisions and close bonds
Megan Barton Hanson, another UK reality star, had a difficult time deciding who to send home. She ultimately chose to save Liberty and Callum, explaining that they bring a lot to the villa. Megan also mentioned her close bond with Curtis and her deep conversations with Lisa.
Overall, Curtis Pritchard's return to Love Island The Games did not go as expected, and he was left feeling disappointed by his early exit from the show. The competition continues with the remaining couples vying for the ultimate prize.
