Their shock elimination came when the Islanders were gathered around the firepit under the impression another recoupling was about to take place.
But the group were blindsided when bombshells, Billykiss and Ryan, were asked to stand.
The boys were told to step forward if they wanted to couple up with Billykiss, and Conor did, leaving Alima single.
Moments later, when no girls stepped forward for Ryan, the group assumed Alima and Ryan would be paired.
But instead, a brutal twist revealed both were being dumped from the Island immediately.
Ryan had only arrived on the show the day before and he had only slept in the villa for one night.
To say his time on the show was short but sweet is an understatement.
Now Ryan has taken a swipe at bosses, after only being on the ITV2 dating show for just one day.
On Instagram he has changed his profile to read: "Didn't find love in 24 hours @loveisland."
Speaking shortly after he was sent packing, Ryan said: "It's been a bittersweet experience, as I was only in there a short amount of time.

"I wish I got an opportunity to turn a few more heads but it is what it is!"
Asked what is favourite moment in the villa was, he replied: "The two dates were lovely, the place we went to was stunning and it was a nice way to be introduced. "
Summing up his Love Island experience, Ryan said: "Being in the Villa and seeing it first hand, was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
"As short as it was, it was still amazing."
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2

Olivia, who is currently away on holiday, hasn't shared anything more about the situation at her home. The Sun has reached out to Olivia's representatives for comment. It comes after the Love Island star turned TV presenter justified her inclusion in This Morning's line-up of summer presenters, saying: "I've put the hard work in". The Love Island favourite, who has built a successful career fronting documentaries and as a Loose Women panellist, is one of a number of stars filling in for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard over the summer break. Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'. But Olivia, 34, is confident in her abilities and feels she's earned her stripes to become ITV's new golden girl. Olivia Attwood reveals she's landed huge ITV role on This Morning after Loose Women success She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. "I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa." She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me." As someone who grew up watching the show as a child, she knows what it's about and the position it has in the national consciousness. She said: "When I got the gig, I was over the moon! I grew up watching the show, and to be a part of it feels like such a huge achievement!"

Coronation Street newcomer 'so excited' as she makes debut as daughter of soap legend
Coronation Street's Grace Ashcroft-Gardiner has taken over the role of Lily Platt from Brooke Malonie and has already made her debut on the Cobbles in recent weeks Coronation Street's latest addition, Grace Ashcroft-Gardiner, has stepped into the shoes of Lily Platt on the beloved ITV soap. The young actress couldn't contain her joy as she announced her new gig to her followers, taking over from Brooke Malonie who portrayed Lily since 2016. Grace's debut scenes as Lily have already graced our screens, and she took to Instagram to express her thrill: "I am so excited to share my news that I have joined the cast of Coronation Street playing the role of Lily Platt." She went on to thank the Stagebox team for their pivotal role in her journey: "It's been a brilliant few months since my first audition, which wouldn't have happened without the fantastic Stagebox team (who I can't thank enough! ). "The whole Corrie team, the cast and crew have been absolutely amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more support during my first few weeks filming on the cobbles," she added, inviting her fans to tune in to her initial episodes, reports OK!. Grace's announcement was met with a flood of congratulatory messages, including warm welcomes from her co-stars. Sydney Martin, who plays Betsy Swain, commented: "Smashing it! ! I love the sass you give her." Jack P Shepherd, who plays her on-screen father David Platt, chimed in: "Yay! Great to have part of the family Grace." Lily, the offspring of David and the late Kylie Platt (played by Paula Lane), made an impactful return as she caused a stir for cousin Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) by locking him out during a tense moment at school with the menacing Mick Michealis (Joe Layton) lurking nearby. Grace is the sixth actress to step into the shoes of Lily since the character's introduction in 2013. Ava and Lilly Bushell portrayed the character from 2013 to 2014, before handing over the reins to Betsie and Emmie Taylor who played Lily from 2014 to 2016. Brooke then assumed the role from 2016 to 2025, with Grace now set to continue as Lily. Prior to Lily's birth, David discovered that his half-brother Nick Tilsley (played by Ben Price) had an affair with his wife Kylie, raising doubts about Lily's paternity. This revelation sparked a vendetta against Nick, culminating in a car crash indirectly caused by David. Following Lily's birth in August 2013, Nick coerced David into arranging a DNA test, threatening to expose David's role in the car accident that left Nick in a coma for several weeks. The DNA test ultimately confirmed that David was indeed Lily's father.
