by Love Island viewers praised the increasingly popular Kai and Sanam for avoiding drama and focusing on themselves while the rest of the villa was caught up in Ron’s misadventures.
During Sunday’s episode, Ron initially confronted Shaq when it was implied that Ron only made Lana his girlfriend after it was established that everyone liked her. Ron denied this, saying he didn’t want to “plant a seed in Lana’s head”.
Later, Ron had an interesting conversation around the fire with Kai, Sanam, Tom and Samie.

“When I was a spectator, I thought those who have their drama nice and early and then get comfortable and treat it like a vacation are probably the ones who just flow,” said Ron.
“I understand why people were probably thinking, ‘Oh, Lana and Ron are just passing by.’ None of it bothers me. I know I don’t, otherwise I would never have made her my girlfriend, it means too much to me.
Kai and Sanam didn’t make much of a comment and remained silent after the conversation ended. However, Tom and Samie interpreted what Ron said as a strategy to win the show.

Both Tom and Samie told the boys and girls respectively what Ron said.
“Last night, Ron basically went out and laid out his game plan. He said couples who are doing well Love Island they’re the ones that remove all the drama at the beginning and then flow at the end,” Tom told the boys.
Shaq in particular was stunned by these comments, and soon the entire villa was talking behind Ron’s back, accusing him of playing games and trying to build strategies. Again, Kai and Sanam kept their distance.

Later, Lana found out about the spread of rumors and informed Ron about it, telling her boyfriend that she supported him.
“I don’t want people to say they think I’m playing a game,” Ron said, then brought Lana over to Kai and Sanam to explain what he said.
Ron was clearly furious about this, and Kai and Sanam did everything in their power to calm him down and dissuade him from his anger. However, what viewers appreciated most about the incident was that Kai and Sanam avoided all the drama and kept completely to themselves.
