Ekin-Su’s arrival in Mallorca changed LoveIsland history.
devotee, I’ve seen it all. I know the absolute bonkers levels of drama that this show can reach, and I expect nothing less from each incoming class of islanders. I want mayhem as much as I want kindness; I want a heartbreaker as much I want the a “genuine connection” to play out on my television; I want someone with a real zest for life beyond aspirations to snag a fast-fashion contract through post-villa fame. And to get that all in one islander is nothing short of reality television gold.
As a working Turkish soap opera actress, Ekin-Su delivered on some much-needed drama to revive a series on life support. Everything she did was instantly added to thehall of fame. Crawling on all fours across the terrace to steal kisses from Jay became the highlight of the season; her blowout fight with Davide — which gave us the now-iconic turn of phrase, “You are a liar, actress,!” — quickly usurped the seminal fights of Terry and Malin and Anna and Jordan of seasons past.
Although Ekin-Su provided ample spectacle in bodycon dresses and lush lashes for the camera, what endeared her to the public was something deeper: her sense of grace and heart. In rectifying her relationship with Davide, Ekin-Su gave a redemption arc worth rooting for. In a villa filled with prickly personalities and heightened emotions, Ekin-Su brought levity and humor.
At the season’s end, Ekin-Su landed on top in countless ways. Yes, she’s the literal winner of the season — and her season’s obvious MVP — but she’s alsocontestant more in my life; my throat is currently sore from screaming in joy over her and Davide’s win. Watching videos of crowds exploding with glee over her new title feels likeand culture at large. I can’t wait to see where Ekin-Su pops up next.
