Watch Love Island Australia Season 6: Preview
It’s time for a sizzling new season of Love Island Australia and host Sophie Monk promises it’ll be spicier than a Sichuan hot pot. Welcoming a boatload of amorous twenty-somethings to the luxury villa in Mallorca, they’ll spend the next two months grafting to find that special someone. But their blossoming relationships will face a variety of scorching new twists. Read on for how to watch Love Island Australia Season 6 online and from anywhere.
Setting off the smoke alarm as they disembark on the island are 10 stunning contestants with blinding smiles and impossibly chiselled bods. Following the usual Love Island protocol, these bonza blokes and babes will couple up initially based on first impressions. But if one of a parade of swoon-worthy Bombshells catch their eye – or if their partner begins to give them the ick – then fire pit ceremonies offer the chance to test their compatibility with someone else. When it's over, the Love Island king and queen will go home with a AU$50,000 bounty – and one hell of a tan.
Australian TV fixture Sophie Monk returns to oversee an unprecedented steamy season, which she believes will be viewers “favorite, by far,” introducing unique twists guaranteed to raise heartrates. From day 1, the girls got to gauge their first impressions of the boys with a steamy “try before you buy” kissing contest. And, if you find those Bombshells lacking in the looks department, two phwoarsome “Love Island Gods” – international contestants from the franchise – will be swooping in to send the villa into overdrive.

What Has Happened So Far in Love Island Australia Season 6?
Episode 1
Headlines: The girls entered the villa and host Sophie Monk joined the girls. They then met the boys and were allowed to 'try before they buy' by kissing two boys of their choice. The girls then stood on the boy's heart of who they wanted to couple up with. Where there was more than one girl on the heart, the boys got to choose who to couple up with. With the first couples of the season chosen, Sophie left islanders to get to know each other, with the first bombshell, Taylor, entering the villa later than evening.
Couples: Mimi and Zane, Xanthe and Kane, Dylan and Eilisha, Indigo and Em, Niko and Hannah.
Bombshell: Taylor Reid
Episode 2
Headlines: Islanders were getting to know each other. Em and Indigo friendzoned each other following the revelation that Em was vegan and would certainly not cook Indigo steak. Niko and Hannah were getting on well, but she also fancied Taylor. Xanthe was struggling to decide between Zane and Kane – not exactly hard to see why. It was revealed that Taylor would choose a girl to steal that night and whoever was left single would be dumped. Taylor was getting to know all the girls, but showed an affinity towards Eilisha
Couples: No changes
Episode 3
Headlines: Ending on a cliffhanger, it was revealed Taylor wanted to couple up with Eilisha. That should've meant Dylan would go home. However, Sophie Monk revealed he would have time to stick it on one of the other girls, win her over, and save himself from being dumped. Ultimately, he grafted Mimi and she chose to twist to Dylan. The rest of the girls were then asked to "stick or twist" in their current couples. Xanthe, perhaps most shocking of all, chose to couple up with Zane, while Em chose to remain loyal to Indigo. That meant Kane was sent home.
Couples: Taylor and Eilisha, Dylan and Mimi, Xanthe and Zane, Em and Indigo, Hannah and Niko.
Dumped: Kane
Episode 4
Headlines: Taylor and Em had a chat and Taylor confessed he was torn between coupling up with her and Eilisha, but that Eilisha had shown more obvious interest. Em relayed this to some of the girls, and this obviously got back to the Eilisha. Hannah is pretty smitten with Niko. However, the villa got well and truly shaken up with the arrival of the season's second bombshell, Sophie Mills. The boys were blindfolded and the girls were sent to the balcony. Sophie kissed all the boys, including Zane who she admitted she already knew, with the pair hooking up on the outside just two months before entering the villa. She chose to take Niko on a date. Hannah and Xanthe, who is coupled up with Zane, were left rattled.
Couples: No changes
Bombshells: Sophie Mills
Episode 5
Headlines: Eilisha called Em fake after she pulled Taylor for a chat, convinded Em had said she wasn't attracted to Taylor. Well, she certainly is. Bombshell Sophie continues to get under the girls skin, particularly Hannah who is territorial over her man, Niko. The islanders wake up and Sophie receives a text that she is taking all the boys apart from Niko who has already been on a date with the bombshell. Sophie was allowed to choose one girl to wingwomen her, so she chose Em. Sophie forfeited her date with Taylor so that Em could sip wine and get to know Taylor. Sophie had to choose, by the end of the day, who she wanted to couple up, with the girl left single at risk of being dumped from the island.
Couples: No changes.
Episode 6
Headlines: Sophie was asked to finally make her decision of who she wanted to couple up with. Perhaps in a surprising turn of events, she went for "Nice Boy" Indigo. Having been wading in a love triangle with Eilisha and Em, Taylor chose to couple up with Em, leaving Eilisha single. She was therefore dumped from the island.
Couples: Sophie and Indigo, Taylor and Em, Hannah and Niko, Xanthe and Zane, Dylan and Mimi
Dumped: Eilisha
Episode 7:
Headlines: The Love Island Gods have arrived, but there's little holy about them. Alumni from Love Island franchise sees Steph and Sydney arrive, wielding power over the villa. It is revealed they will be able to recouple with any islanders at any time, with couples changing left, right, and center. Initially Steph chooses to couple up with Sophie, citing that he didn't like to be lonely.
The islanders played a game of "Staircase to Heaven" – a mashup of Beer Pong and Seven Minutes in Heaven. Later on, following the game, Sydney joined in on the fun and stole Zane from Xanthe, leaving the latter in floods of tears. Steph chose to recouple again, this time with Mimi. Mimi then received a text stating that Sophie and Indigo would form a couple again, while Xanthe and Dylan were left single and vulnerable.
Couples: Sydney and Zane, Steph and Mimi, Niko and Hannah, Em and Taylor, Sophie and Indigo
Bombshells: Love Gods, Steph and Sydney (alumni of Love Island France and Love Island USA.
Episode 8:
Headlines: Sydney essentially gets the ick after Zane snores his way through their final night together, Mimi tells Dylan she needs him to graft her more if he doesn't want her head to turn for Love God Steph. Love God Sydney chooses to ditch Zane and not recouple up with anyone until it suits her. That means Zane and Xanthe are back in a couple. Hannah and Niko have a night in the Hideaway, but it turns sour when they talk about whether or not they'd have a Hen and Buck nights. The following morning, bombshell Tommy arrives, a man known on TikTok for eating raw eggs – shell and all. What a catch...
Couples: Steph and Mimi, Zane and Xanthe, Niko and Hannah, Em and Taylor, Sophie and Indigo
Bombshells: Tommy Armour
Episode 9:
Headlines: Tommy cracked an egg on with getting to know some of the girls, including Xanthe and Love God, Sydney. Hannah and Niko managed to patch things up after their less than desirable night in the Hideaway. Mimi called things off with Dylan after he continued not to make an effort. Dylan quickly directed his interests to Sophie, who he claimed he'd not had the chance to get to know. The two shared a very passionate kiss on the terrace. There was a recoupling ceremony, in which Sophie Monk said everyone needed to be in a couple to avoid being dumped. Ultimately, it came down to Sophie choosing between Indigo, who she was already in a couple with, and Dylan. She coupled up with Dylan and Indigo was dumped from the island.
Couples: Steph and Mimi, Sydney and Tommy, Hannah and Niko, Xanthe and Zane, Em and Taylor, Sophie and Dylan
Dumped: Indigo
Episode 10:
Headlines: Sophie Monk took the girls out for a picnic, leaving the boys to laze around the villa. While out for lunch, the girls heard a car horn and saw two new girl bombshells entering the villa. Asking if they could spy on the boys, Sophie Monk said yes and the girls creeped back into the villa to watch TV screens in the bedroom with popcorn. The boys, one-by-one, went on back-to-back dates with new girls, Kaylah and Krissy, with some boys 'passing' the test, while others spectacularly failed, including Niko who seemed far too open with Krissy, and Dylan who used the exact same lines on Krissy that he had just one day earlier. The girls initially kept quiet about spying on the boys. That is, until the evenings toast, where the boys were left stunned by the revelation.
Couples: No changes
Bombshells: Kaylah Holmes and Krissy Bertone
Episode 11:
Headlines: A game of "Pandora's Box" got under some islanders skill, with islanders tasked with different challenges including three-way kisses, kissing the islander with the most Instagram followers, and choosing two islanders not a couple to – yes, you guessed it – kiss. This gave Dylan and Krissy to kiss not once, not twice, but three times right in front of Sophie. Zane makes it known to Xanthe he is more into bombshell, Kaylah, than her, mostly because she's into [the] gym.
Couples: No changes
Episode 12:
Headlines: The girl bombshells had their time to graft with a recoupling ceremony looming. Ahead of the recoupling, Taylor made it known he was open to the bombshells, having had a good conversation with Krissy and establishing they had a lot in common. When it came to the recoupling, though, Kaylah chose Zane and Krissy chose Dylan. This left both Xanthe and Sophie single and therefore vulnerable, with Sophie Monk revealing one girl would be dumped from the villa that night. Who would make this decision? Bombshell Mercedes, from Texas. He took both girls on a date and made a decision that night, ultimately choosing to couple up with Sophie, meaning Xanthe was dumped.
Couples: Kaylah and Zane, Krissy and Dylan, Mercedes and Sophie, Hannah and Niko, Em and Taylor, Steph and Mimi
Bombshells: Mercedes Knox
Dumped: Xanthe
