</div><b>Name:</b>Laura Whitmore<br/><b>Age:</b>36<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Bray, Ireland<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Tuesday, 6th of July, 2021<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Competition Area<br/><b>Wearing:</b>As pictured<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>None | Host of show<br/><b>Tagging:</b>All Islanders<br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--1"/>Laura’s smile quickly erased itself from her face as Carina took her time in strolling to the middle of the circle, then directed a… complaint of sorts towards the host of the show. Apparently, it was wrong of Laura to describe her task in the way that she did because she thought she’d be the only Islander who hadn’t kissed someone yet.<br/><br/>But, that wasn’t true. Outside of the challenge, Ian hadn’t kissed anyone either. And she supposed that she could have explained that to Carina, however she didn’t bother because she figured it would fall on deaf ears. Carina wanted to make a statement and nothing anybody said - even the host of the show - in that moment was going to stop her.<br/><br/>So, she listened as Carina spoke about the sort of girl she had been in groups before and how she had worked too much on herself to drop down several pegs and become someone’s sloppy seconds, or chase a boy who wasn’t interested. To Laura, it sounded as if she might have missed the point of the show, or meant to audition for a different one altogether.<br/><br/>No one chased Carina when she started to leave the challenge area and walk back to the Villa. Laura walked into the center of the circle then and addressed everyone, her cards down, no longer reading from them, as her gaze drifted from person to person in the circle and her head turned slowly whilst she looked at each of them.<br/><br/>“Well, there was a bit more, but I think it’s best to just wrap it up. Clearly, the challenge has run its course and is no longer fun. I’m not sure if you all wanted more drama or less of it, but I guarantee you there will be plenty of that to go round tonight. So, I will see you lot at the recoupling ceremony… tonight.” Her hands dropped downward for emphasis.<br/><br/>With that, she bounded off and away from the competition area and out of sight altogether.<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--1"/><div style="text-align: center"><i>End of Second Challenge</i>​</div>
