The surfer chick was getting unnecessary grief from all sides
If you looked at Twitter last night and noticed that 'Lucie' was trending, you might think that the Love Islander had either been booted off or done something particularly bad.
Yet despite there being a whopping 107,000 tweets about the blonde surfer since last night's episode aired, she didn't actually do anything wrong.
In fact, it seems that most of those tweets were expressing concern for her mental health after a pretty tough day in the villa. Firstly, the tension between her and Amy amped up massively during the 'wedding dress food fight' challenge. Amy accused Lucie of specifically targeting her during the challenge, and turned on the waterworks to force an apology from her.
Control freak Joe then quizzed her on her friendship with Tommy - saying that he didn't like her spending time with him, giving her grief for not hanging out with the girls more, and basically raising the possibility of them not being compatible ahead of the recoupling. Mollie-Mae was equally unhappy about Tommy's attention being taken from her (as if Maura wasn't already enough to contend with.)
In the end, Joe did chose Lucie during the recoupling (much to Amy's obvious disgust) - but not before she'd unnecessarily been put through the emotional mill.
Interestingly, it does seem like there is now an obvious split between the girls in the villa.

‘I hope today is the day she woke up and she will change’
The words of dread from Joe after just 2 weeks of a relationship. Last night he said ‘I can’t change you and don’t want to change you Lucie’
We all knew that was a lie.
Lucie is too good for Love Island. #loveisland— Nadia Essex (@LadyNadiaEssex) June 16, 2019
Let us discuss. Below you will see 1. Amber when Danny was talking about her friend Yewande and 2. Here we will see Amy's face when Joe picked her "friend" Lucie. I wonder why she doesn't feel like talking to you Amy. Genuinely escapes me hun. #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/MwZBmrm9m1

The girls are bitchy but Amy’s leading it all, she don’t like Lucie and she’s 100% manipulative. She’s turning everyone against her and she can see it’s making the poor girl miserable, then she’s turning on the tears for effect. 18+ acting 12, it’s a no from me #LoveIsland https://t.co/gyYbS9APVE

It’s funny how Amber doesn’t find Michael and Yewande’s friendship weird isn’t it?? Somebody needs to get Lucie out of that relationship before it’s too late!! #loveisland

Everyone needs to leave Lucie alone. She's done nothing wrong. Joe's the one that needs to fix up!!!!! So backwards and possessive. Lucie doesn't need it🚫 #LoveIsland
