A theory that the winning couple on Love Island is usually carried by the girl is being upheld. Ciaran and Nicole being coupled up since the beginning had fans convinced they’d finally break the theory.
Spoiler alert: Mimi and Josh are the official Love Island winners! She was the favorite girl of the season, while runner-up Ciaran, who came second with Nicole, was the favorite boy.
Love Island winning theory lives on
A theory that a favorite girl often “carries the winning couple” is being upheld, as per fans. They reckon that a boy being the favorite doesn’t tend to go on and win the entire show.
One fan wrote on a Reddit thread: “I thought Nicole and Ciaran being a day 1 couple would win but I did think it did go against the usual theory that a girl carries the winning couple.”
They continued: “In Nicole and Ciaran’s case it seems like the man was more popular. So, Mimi [favorite girl from beginning] winning with Josh reaffirms the theory. Really happy for them!”
Ciaran was ‘favorite boy’ of season
Ciaran is the favorite boy of Love Island 2024. He often spoke for what he felt was right, such as when Sean sent Omar home to have a better chance of coupling up with Matilda, which he said was wrong.
Nicole became a controversial contestant as some felt she got mad at Ciaran for his past, which he admits involved cheating, and being intimate with a lot of girls (over 100).
Kem and Amber are one exception, as he is believed to have carried the couple while the girl was really disliked. However, Ciaran didn’t go on to win despite being a fave boy, but still came second!
Fans remember harsh Ciaran scene
After Ciaran and Nicole came second, fans are remembering the early moment of the season when he hit back at Harriett Blackmore. He said his partner didn’t have to go through three people” to decide.
She bit back and told him he’s “so immature” – and fans weren’t happy with how he spoke to her. Harriett has built up a fanbase during and after leaving the villa, as she’s the “real prize”.
Ciaran did actually kiss Harriett in bed while getting to know Nicole, but they ended up getting past that issue and basically stayed with each other from the beginning, including remaining loyal in Casa.
