Love Island Fury: Viewers Blast Joanna’s “Fake” Tears After Being Voted Least Compatible – Love Island viewers have criticized Joanna Chimonides for her emotional reaction after being voted the least compatible couple along with Chris Taylor in Thursday’s episode.

Joanna, 28, entered the Love Island villa in South Africa as a bombshell contestant and soon coupled up with original islander Chris Taylor.

Voting game brands Joanna-Chris least compatible
In Thursday’s episode, Joanna and Chris were voted the least compatible couple by their fellow islanders during a game called Couples Goals. The votes appeared to overwhelm Joanna, who defended her connection with Chris through more tears.
Viewers call Joanna’s tears ‘fake’
However, many Love Island fans who had seen Joanna question Chris’ personality earlier called her emotional reaction fake. One Twitter user @jojoeamps_ agreed with bombshell Casey’s description of her behavior as “f*cking ridiculous.”
I don't get why Joanna's crying
They weren't personal attacks, she's not into Chris and everyone knows#loveisland— A. Cangal🦓 🇵🇸 (@OverAllOfThisCr) February 9, 2024
I honestly feel like Joanna and Georgia S are too immature and sensitive to play these truth games. You all have to pick a couple. Stop taking it so personally!! its a game show! #LoveIslandAllStars #Loveisland

Joanna literally said that her and Chris’s personalities probably weren’t compatible but is mad at everyone else for agreeing they aren’t compatible? #Loveisland #LoveIslandAllStars #AllStars

Joanna argues Anton and Georgia’s decision
When asked which couple was the most one-sided, Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison voted for Joanna and Chris. Joanna disagreed and pointed out that exploring other options didn’t mean she and Chris lacked chemistry.

Anton and Georgia double down on judgement
But Anton and Georgia stuck to their decision and voted Joanna and Chris as the “least compatible” couple as well. A frustrated Joanna highlighted that Anton and Georgia had also struggled in their coupling yet managed to work it out.
Anton stands by his vote
Anton stood by the votes, saying everyone was entitled to their opinion. He apologized for upsetting Joanna but maintained his judgement.
Joanna left in tears
The votes left Joanna in tears while Chris tried to console her. Casey was heard muttering “f**king hell” in apparent frustration at her reaction.
Doubts already expressed beforehand
Importantly, Joanna and Chris had candidly discussed their doubts and incompatibility a day before the vote during Wednesday’s episode. They mutually agreed they might not be right for each other based on clashing personalities and communication styles.
Fans confused by Joanna’s tears
This context left many fans confused by Joanna’s emotional display after the vote, since she had already voiced the same thoughts herself. Viewers took to social media questioning why she cried when fellow islanders simply reaffirmed what she had admitted herself.
Where to watch
Those interested can watch new episodes of Love Island: All-Stars on ITV2 and ITVX.
Expert view
“It’s understandable for islanders to get defensive in a public vote like this, but Joanna’s reaction did seem excessive given her own admissions. Viewers are very perceptive and can usually tell when emotions are not fully genuine,” said Jane Ryan, relationship psychologist.
