When it comes to taking part in Love Island, you never know how your time on the dating show is going to go, even more so when it's your second time in the villa.
Take Samie Elishi for example, she ended up in the final alongside Tom Clare during winter love Island 2023 but when she rocked up for All Stars 2 she lasted less than a week.
Prior to heading into the South African villa, Samie had decided she was going to make a beeline for Luca Bish, despite him being in a couple with Grace Jackson. Although they shared a few DM's before taking part in Love Island and although Luca kissed Samie during one of the challenges AND although the viewers matched them together, he ultimately decided not to pursue their connection.
We saw snippets of the fall-out and we watched on as Grace put some boundaries in place and gained the respect of countless girlies on social media, but what we didn't see was just how hard it hit Samie.
Now that she is out of the villa, the bombshell has taken to social media to lift the lid on her second stint on the romance reality TV show.
Samie shared a TikTok of her putting on a pair of sunglasses with the soundbite, 'well that was f***ing dreadful,' and added the text, 'after seeing how puffy my eyes were on national TV after a day of crying all day,' over the top.
We all noticed that Samie's eyes were looking a little swollen during an episode of Love Island with people speculating it was down to hay fever or an adverse reaction to something.
One fan commented not he video, 'Omggg I thought you had an allergic reaction 😭' with another person adding, 'oh no i thought it was a reaction to something😭.'
Fans also stated that crying or not, Samie is always ten out of ten and where is the lie?
'No girl u were still fuegoooo 🔥,' one person stated with someone else declaring, 'Nah, you looked lush and handled yourself with class throughout ✨'
