Love Island fans weren't hugely impressed with Wednesday night's episode as they slammed it as being 'boring'.
Despite new bombshells Remell and Shea entering on the instalment for a racy game of truth or dare, many at home were left noticing one major change in the series' first week.
Three episodes in and there haven't been any challenges yet - which often stir things up and create drama.
During the episode fans penned on X: 'Uk love island is so boring my goodness #LoveIsland.',
'None of the contestants on love island interest me, They are all boring tbh.',
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
'Hopefully these bombshells change the dynamics of this boring villa #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.',
'love island uk is so boring.',
'You know a season of Love Island is boring when the ads are more exciting then the show #LoveIsland.',
'Love island needs to go back to the first 5 series of the show or it’s going to fail.. it’s getting to that point where it might just need a few years off. It’s getting boring! #loveisland.',
'UK Love Island is sooooooooo boring convos are so dry i cant wait until USA releases #LoveIsland.'
During the episode, Ben and Toni clashed in the fallout from Sophie's brutal elimination from the villa as he 'got the ick'.
Chatting in a small group, Toni reflected that the next Islander to go might be one of the lads: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.'
Ben replied sharply: 'Are you saying me in particular?'
The American bombshell shoots back, 'No, it's about boys, not everything is about you' - which saw an irritated Ben storm off.
His extreme reaction left the other Islanders shocked, with Meg later saying to him: 'That was a bit much... I don't get what she said that was really offensive?'
Ben explained: 'She said, "Not everything is about you..." I just got the ick.'
He then confessed this to Shakira too - who told Toni what he has said and suggested she pull him for a chat about it.
Toni does not need to be told twice, sitting Ben down to ask: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?'
Elsewhere, three non-coupled-up Islanders snuck off to hideaway during Wednesday's episode.
Ben Holbrough and Shakira Khan, who were originally coupled up, headed to the secret suit for a chat, where he confessed he was still interested in her.
Later, Helena Ford and Harry Cooksley had a cheeky chat, where they suggested they should 'sneak off in the middle of the night' to the romantic room - just days in to the show.
Shakira was later taken back to the Hideaway by Blu where she then shared a sneaky kiss with him, despite choosing Harry over him in Tuesday night's recoupling.
Shakira had earlier been left furious when Harry whispered 'hideaway' in air hostess Helena's ear before putting his hand on her leg, before her cheeky antics of her own.
The pairing came as a shock to viewers as Harry was chosen by Shakira to couple up with during Tuesday night's dramatic recoupling.
The luxury Hideaway includes a bed and hot tub and offers the Islanders, who can now enter with anyone, complete privacy.
Love Island fans are set to enjoy the X-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments.
'If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said.
He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.'
Although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to create drama.
The ITV2 dating show returned to screens on Monday night, with presenter Maya Jama welcoming 12 new Islanders to Mallorca to find love.
But the dating hopefuls were left shaken on last night's show, only the second episode of this series, as Sophie was dumped from the Island.
It came after bombshell Toni entered the villa on Monday and stole Ben from Shakira, leaving her single and at risk of being sent home.
A day later, Maya asked any boy interested in her to stand up, one of whom Shakira would couple up with - and she chose Harry, leaving Sophie single and heading home.
