David and Elena reunite after Sandra Barneda leaves the set
The island’s sixth edition closed with a tense reunion, and Elena and David found themselves face to face again after a dramatic moment that left the studio buzzing. Elena recalled a difficult scene when she fainted, explaining, “It was really hard, but it was worth living. The moment happened because I trusted him, only to be shocked by what I saw.”
David countersued, revealing that Elena had been involved with another man for two months before joining the show, which ended their relationship. “You want to polish your image. We were distant at first; nothing was clear, it was cold with lockdown and I was with someone else, but he knew it all,” Elena retorted, pausing the moment to keep a lid on the tension.
As Sandra Barneda urged everyone to respect the pace of the conversations, Elena’s collapse on the floor drew mixed reactions. David did not hide his disbelief, saying it was acceptable if she hadn’t been honest. Barneda, frustrated, paused the exchange and stepped away, signaling that the situation had reached a breaking point. The show promised to refocus on what happens beyond the island’s walls.
María then joined the special and asked about the status of Elena and David. They were clear that they were, though they stopped short of labeling themselves as boyfriends. David admitted his fear of committing for life, saying, “We’re not dating, but we love and respect each other, and we’re slowly getting to know one another.”
The second and surreal separation of Marina and Àlex
Marina and Àlex took the stage for another emotional segment. After a brief rebound from what’s been called the island’s shortest romance with Yaiza, Àlex revisited those villa days and offered a candid critique: “We arrived at the airport, I saw Marina’s hurt, I liked her, I talked to her, we spent time together, and then everything got tangled. We decided to give it another try.”
Marina added, “A month later I learned Àlex had been unfaithful with someone else. We took some time apart, saw Manu, but we weren’t involved. We’re back with Álex and we’re fine now, with the good and bad that comes with rebuilding trust.”
Yet the reunion carried a surreal moment: Yaiza entered and spoke, prompting Marina to respond. Yaiza’s words reached Marina, who then admitted that Àlex had called to say he regretted leaving the airport with Yaiza. The tension lingered as the room absorbed the confession.
Laura admits she’s not in love with Alejandro, and she stays with Saul
The third couple of the night was Laura and Alejandro. The current waiter of the dating show insisted he wasn’t in love, describing himself as an “island of attraction.” It was a painful truth for him, given how deeply he felt for Laura.
When the show flashed photos of Laura with Saul after the bonfire, Alejandro argued that they could not spend the summer together, triggering a heated clash: “I was the problem for you, you were perfect.”
Saúl then entered, greeted Alejandro with a handshake, and kissed Laura. “We’ve been officially a couple since September 13 and started living together in November,” Saúl remarked. Laura affirmed that their relationship had evolved into something unique and anticipates continued progress beyond the summer, despite the earlier tensions with Alejandro.
Lydia and Manuel grow closer after The Island of Temptations
Lydia and Manuel stood out for their visible unity during the reunion. They stated that they argue far less now and that Ada’s lessons about communication and trust have reshaped their dynamic.
Lydia shared that both had hurt each other in the past, but they’ve learned to drop the pretense and focus on what truly matters. Manuel echoed the sentiment, noting that real growth comes from recognizing each other’s value and choosing to move forward, not apart.
Naomi and Adrián reunited with a new spark
The night’s biggest surprise came as Naomi and Adrián tested a second chance. They described a moment at the airport that reminded them of what they meant to one another, and they explained how a Valencia trip helped them reset. Naomi admitted she had learned not to act impulsively, and Adrián expressed relief at finding a path forward together.
Both agreed to leave past hurts behind and pursue a fresh start. “I want to return because there is no one like him,” Naomi said, and Adrián responded with a vow of devotion: “You are the woman of my life, I love you deeply and want to stay by your side.” She countered, “I feel lucky to have you; true love isn’t easy, but with him it feels possible.”
