Love Island viewers poke fun Ron and Lana’s date location
The long-awaited final dates were shown on Thursday’s episode of Love Island as the winter series comes to a close.
And while Ron and Lana’s turn was undeniably romantic, many viewers were quick to scoff at the location the producers had chosen.
The couple were sent to a place by the river where they enjoyed breakfast on a raised platform in the middle of the water where they sat barefoot in the pond.
Many took to Twitter to gleefully compare it to Shrek’s swamp, while others pointed out that they definitely wouldn’t want to eat with their feet in the water.
One joked: ‘She’s hitting Shrek’s swamp #loveisland!’ while another said: ‘My feet wouldn’t be in that water making that appointment, I’m just waiting for some animal to jump in!’
LOL: Love Island viewers teased the location of Ron and Lana’s final date in Thursday’s episode
Oh no: the couple was sent to a riverside spot where they enjoyed breakfast on a raised platform in the middle of the water where they sat barefoot in the pond.
Awkward: Many took to Twitter to gleefully compare it to Shrek’s swamp, while others pointed out that they definitely wouldn’t want to eat with their feet in the water.
Another reacted, “I wonder if that pond has fish that eat dead skin,” while a fourth quipped, “It’s like pushing sims into the pond at dinner.”
Someone else wrote: ‘I don’t like the idea of eating at a table with wet feet.’
Another wrote: ‘I couldn’t sit there with my bare feet in the water. I would just ask to be sent home on the next flight.’
A different person wrote on Twitter: I could NOT relax with my feet getting cold in that water.
It seemed that the couple got along very well as they enjoyed the date and talked about their future.
Ron said, ‘Day one and now look where we are, having a breakfast date on a river, a floating date!’
‘I never thought I would find a girl who ticked all the boxes. I’m buzzing for you to meet my family.
‘My mom will adore you, she will see how good you are and she will know that you are good for me.’
Reaction: One joked: ‘She’s hitting Shrek’s swamp #loveisland!’ while another said: ‘My feet wouldn’t be in that water making that appointment, I’m just waiting for some animal to jump in!’
Happy: The couple seemed to get along very well as they enjoyed the date and talked about their future.
An excited Lana responded, ‘I feel such overwhelming joy!’
“I’m just talking about we’ve been on this journey together and we’re here now, I’ve loved every second of it.”
But then the couple had to turn their attention to voting, as they decided who they think is the least compatible in the Village.
Elsewhere, Samie struggled to contain her shock when Tom revealed “something big” during their last date.
The senior real estate coordinator, 22, was driven by the semi-pro soccer player, 23, to their romantic dinner in a classic red Ferrari.
After being invited to a private mountainside restaurant located in the middle of a lake and decorated with red rose petals, there was even a harpist to serenade them.
Tom said, ‘This feels like a dream, doesn’t it?’
But as the date got underway, Tom had something important he wanted to tell Samie, saying that he was falling for her.
She replied: ‘You’ve left me a bit speechless now!’
As night fell, Shaq and Tanya were invited to their date under the stars and both dressed to impress.
Excited: Ron said, ‘Day one and now look where we are, having a breakfast date on a river, a floating date!’
Love: Added: ‘I never thought I would find a girl who ticked all the boxes. I’m buzzing for you to meet my family’
Tears: An emotional Lana responded, ‘I feel such overwhelming joy!’ “I’m just talking about we’ve been on this journey together and we’re here now, I’ve loved every second of it”
Serious: But the couple had to turn their attention to voting, as they decided who they think is the least compatible in the Village.
When Shaq and Tanya arrived for their date, they were greeted by a string quartet in a candlelit and rose lit venue.
Once seated, Shaq and Tanya talked about their relationship and agreed that they are stronger than ever.
Shaq told Tanya: ‘With you I have found the one, I don’t want anyone else.’
Tanya and Shaq talked about the distance and if they would consider moving in for each other. And as the date drew to a close, the couple also discussed another milestone in their relationship.
