Although he admitted that he was '50/50' over his choice and he didn't know whether or not to pick Helena - fans are certain he was gunning for the Londoner.
User wrote on the site: "I think the producers didn't want a 'clean' end to the triangle especially before the Heart Rate Challenge."
A second added: "It does feel cruel to Toni though. Producers and viewers all know that Harrison isn't feeling her and is childishly horny for Helena but we have to watch her look like a mug over this boy - especially when she's already been in a bad mood for the past six episodes."
A third agreed: "I think the producers backed themselves in this corner by letting Irish Meg go and we were left with them rushing two challenges in right away and drawing out this scenario with Toni as a result unfortunately."

A fourth fan suggested: "Remember that the producers ask Islanders who they want to recouple with beforehand. They knew both Ben and Harrison were going to pick Helena, they wanted Harrison to be forced to pick Toni as that would make the situation more uncomfortable and potentially embarrass Toni more," quipped another.
"Producers want Toni to be a Casa victim," predicted a viewer.
Love Island favourite sparks fears she'll quit the villa as she breaks down in tears AGAIN
Another mused: "It's simple production protection. Since day one, Toni was meant to go home and she keeps getting saved. I can only think they're not ready to give up on their American islander twist.
"I also think that's probably why they didn't leave the vote up to the Islanders when Megan left. I think they knew the Islanders would've voted Toni instead. Even though this wasn't to go home, still feels like a production save."

"Trying to save their US booking," one fan proposed.
A further user observed: "I think the producers are REALLY pushing for Toni and Harrison esp since Toni is the first American. Like the date and now this?
"They just want them to stick together maybe because they think this pleases the American audience and can attract them to this show more if they know that 'one of their own' has a connection."
