Love Island fans are SICK of Samira Mighty getting dumped on and taken advantage of by the other Islanders, especially as she's now at risk of eviction.
While Samira's current friendship-couple with Dr Alex George has worked fine for them up until now, he looks set to pair up with new girl Ellie Brown in tonight's (June 22) recoupling.
Hapless doctor Alex has received plenty of help from the other Islanders – including how to chat to new girls, and even literally how to give them a kiss too.
But now fans are really starting to call out the show – and the other Islanders – with some accusing them of double standards and selfishness.
However, some blamed the show for failing to cast any boys with interest in Samira, while others felt the show was reflecting prejudice and the unfair dating experiences of many black women.
Even viewers' hopes that Samira could pair up with new boy Sam Bird after he listed her in his top four girls were dashed when he almost forgot her later on, and pretty much ignored her while chatting to Rosie instead.
What to Read Next
And since Sam called out love rat Adam Collard for his treatment of Rosie, it does seem likely he's trying to get into her good books.
Rosie Williams came under fire too. Although she'd been mistreated by snakey Adam, fans felt she should let Samira have this one new boy as she's had no luck so far, whatsoever.
Elsewhere Love Island paid tribute to series 2 contestant Sophie Gradon following her tragic death earlier this week aged just 32, while the charity Women's Aid has shared a statement about the "clear warning signs" in Adam Collard's "unacceptable" behaviour towards Rosie – and praised her for calling him out on it.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
