It comes as one Love Island couple are set to bag the whopper £50K cash prize in the coming weeks.
Now loyal viewers are convinced Jamie Rhodes's intentions for Yas Pettet aren't pure - especially after he got handsy with a number of other villa girls in the kissing challenge.
His reaction left Yas understandably annoyed as she fumed: "What the f*** am I watching?"
The pair appeared to be going from strength to strength after a sweet paddleboard date before they chatted about their growing connection and spilled the tea on their family ties.
Yet after his flirty antics fans have flooded Reddit with comments suggesting he is only with the bombshell for her popularity.
One posted: "Jamie's undetected game play.
"He entered the villa knowing Yas picked up a popularity and she's a fan favourite. Also, he knows about the villains that the fans hate and staying away from them."
They added: "Notice Jamie was the only guy went on Harry and called him during the Casa recoupling, knowing that will get him points from the public, and it has.
"The whole fan base all over social media loved him for that.
Love Island bombshell Yasmin's pal shares secret behind perfect posture after fans were left baffled
"And he's COASTING to the final and potentially winning the whole thing with Yas.
"Also, He got excited during reading the kissing challenge, because he didn't get to kiss someone else since he came. We saw his hands were slipping to the girls asses.
"I feel we didn't see the real him, there's something about him. I know you don't want to hear that but this relationship won't last to Christmas."
Another mused: "Can we talk about how inappropriate it was for him to grope the a*** of every single girl in the villa during the kissing challenge?"
One added: "All a Casa bombshell needs to do is couple up with the most popular girl/boy and coast until the final. The real successful game players are the bombshells that come in before the series is due to end and still win (Josh and Greg)."
A fan posted: "Honestly a valid take I feel like bombshells that come in past a certain point are aware of who they should go for, but for Yasmins sake I hope he's genuine because we have never seen her this way with a guy in the villa."
Yet one then clapped back and put: "I personally like him & hope he & Yas win because it's undeniable we have seen a softer side of Yas since they've been coupled up."
FINAL COUNTDOWN
The date of the Love Island final is yet to be confirmed by ITV, but as regular viewers know, the final always takes place on a Monday in a live episode.
It is heavily speculated that the official Love Island live final will be on Monday August 4.
When Maya Jama returns to the villa at the end of the eight weeks in the sun, there will be four couples remaining, all vying to win over the public and take the title.
The prize pot of £50,000 will also be up for grabs for the winning couple.

Love Island fans ‘work out' why Dejon turned on Meg as villa's strongest couple hit the rocks days before final
Scroll down to see what viewers had to say show sleuths Love Island fans 'work out' why Dejon turned on Meg as villa's strongest couple hit the rocks days before final Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have 'worked out' why Dejon turned on Meg - with the couple hitting the rocks as the final looms. The pair have been coupled up on the ITV2 show throughout all of this year's series. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island's Dejon and Meg had an argument - days ahead of the final Credit: Eroteme 4 The pair clashed after a revealing villa game called Knowing Me, Know You Credit: Eroteme 4 Meg stood her ground Credit: Eroteme Cracks have now started to form in their dynamic - with the final just days away. Writing online, sleuthing viewers think they know why Dejon has changed his attitude towards Meg. They had an argument at the end of Thursday's episode following a revealing villa game. Fans recalled returnee Blu telling the other boys about what he'd learned while away from the villa. In particular, how Meg and Helena were perceived as "mean girls" by the show's audience. A viewer penned on X: "Dejon saying what he did comes back to blu's comment about Meg being seen as a mean girl. "And to him, while he is a nasty individual, he also thinks he's saving her from being seen as nasty, as the conversation is about the 1/2 of the girls that blu said was popular #loveisland." Another added: "After blu spilled meg is the mean girl, you can see Dejon aborting his winning strategy in real time #LoveIsland #loveislanduk." While a third penned: "Blu told dejon meg was one of the mean girls and now he's picking fights … #LoveIsland." Meg and Dejon's drama began as the couples played a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You. Shock moment Love Islander admits he doesn't know his girlfriend's middle name Each Islander had a board, with the goal being to match with their partner's answers on respective questions. However, Dejon and Meg gave differing answers on the first question - which left him unhappy. The boys were later asked which girl they'd couple up with - if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. Dejon surprised Meg by choosing Yasmin - despite the pair's ongoing friction with Yasmin, Toni and Shakira. As the couple sat by the firepit, they disagreed as to whether Dejon ever shared this information before. LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week.
