The baby challenge is the last obstacle before the 'Love Island' finale

Never have we ever heard the word 'daddy' used so liberally.

After weeks of watching Cely loudly wake up her fellow Islanders on Love Island (Monday-Sunday, 9pm on CTV), her volume was no match for the introduction of tiny plastic babies. The Islanders got a rude awakening to parenthood on Monday’s episode and quickly found out who was a nurturer and who got fired as a nanny. The Islanders were also forced to vote off another couple, cementing the final four pairs heading into the finale together. As if that wasn’t uncomfortable enough, one couple is still roommates with another couple who voted for them to leave. Let’s get those babies back in the Villa to help ease the tension.

THAT AWKWARD MOMENT

It’s finale week and only four couples can make it to the end, which means the Islanders had to vote on which couple was the least compatible and had to leave the Villa immediately. The easy vote was for newbies Lakeyn and Bennett, who received two votes from Moira and Calvin and Carrington and Laurel. The more strategic vote would be to get rid of a couple who actually have a chance at winning. Lakeyn and Bennett voted for Laurel and Carrington, as did Johnny and Cely in a surprising move. The OG couple’s reasoning wasn’t wrong (Carrington has still not committed to seeing Laurel outside the Villa), but it will make things extra uncomfortable in the Villa following Jaleb’s tie-breaking vote for Lakeyn and Bennett. Side note, what if Jaleb had voted for a third couple? The Love Island handbook needs to be clearer about the rules.

BABY MAMA DRAMA

The Islanders awoke to the sound of screaming babies, which is actually worse than Cely waking up her roomies by slamming pots and pans together. At least Cely can burp herself when she’s done. Justine and Caleb spent one night in the Hideaway and ended up as the only couple to receive twins, but LBR, if any of the couples can handle two babies, it’s Jaleb.The challenge highlighted who is ready for parenthood and who still needs some "me" years. Oldest child of six Calvin had no problem caring for Pepe (whose name was later changed to Parker?) and Carrington was a chill dad until he accidentally lost his daughter’s leg in a relay. It happens to the best of us, Carrington.Johnny and Johnny Jr. III instantly formed a tight bond, while Cely remained tight with whatever room the baby was not in. Lakeyn also revealed that she was not ready to be the "cool mom," adding that her previous job as a nanny ended in her being fired. Obviously, Bennett missed that on her resume. As for Jaleb, Justine was all about dem babies, especially when it came to seeing Caleb as a doting father to Kiki and Coco. “Something about seeing a man with a baby does something to your loins,” said Justine, adding “My uterus is throbbing.” She should see a doctor about that.

JUSTINE AND CELY’S REAL TALK

Justine had the conversation that every viewer wants to have with Cely and checked in to make sure that Cely is okay since Johnny seems much more concerned with how he is feeling about his cheating that she does. It was a difficult topic to broach and Justine took it on with maturity and sensitivity. Cely reassured her that Johnny is taking care of her and that she’s not some dumb woman who can’t stand up for herself. It’s true that Cely did stand up for herself after Casa Amor, but the guac at Johnny’s pity party went stale weeks ago.
