As seen in the first look snaps from the action, which airs this evening (Sunday) on ITV2, the lads are blindfolded and wearing headphones while the girls make their way down the line and smooch each of them in turn.
The boys then rate each snog out of ten, leading to inevitable jealousies erupting.
The action begins when Emma gets a text informing the islanders about the impending challenge,
"Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion. It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition #LipsDontLie #SnogLikeYouMeanit," reads the message,
After each boy is kissed, he must rate the smooch out of ten, with the highest score determining the winner. Between rounds, the music in the headphones is stopped so the boys can hear how each other scored the snogs.
Toni hosts the game and takes note of the scores on a blackboard, while Yasmin is first off the mark.
But while she is well-received by most of the lads, Dejon's feedback stops her in her tracks.
'That kiss was two words… no good. Zero out of ten," he says, brutally, leaving everyone reeling.
'Are you not participating in today's game?' Toni fires back, taking Dejon to task.
While The Sun won't spoil the results of the task, we can reveal Yasmin is not only upset over Dejon's feedback, but also Jamie getting handsy with the other girls.
'What the f*** am I watching?' she exclaims, clearly unimpressed.
And she's not the only one who's unhappy, as Helena is less than pleased too.
Later, Yasmin dissects Dejon's upsetting remarks at the firepit with pals Toni and Shakira.
Yasmin fumes: 'We all saw what happened in the challenge today with Dejon. In a lot of these scenarios he goes on the attack straight away.

"His comments were just rude and he didn't need to be that nasty. He's obviously trying to play things safe because he's exclusive with Meg… I'm going to speak to him.'
She then takes Dejon to one side for a chat, but will they be able to resolve their issues?
Meanwhile, Emma is also frustrated with Cach after the kissing task.
She vents: 'Why does he behave like that? I just don't get it, he's such bad vibes all round.'

Iconic comedian reveals jaw-dropping cost of playing Taylor Swift song at his show
Comedian Marc Maron has revealed the eye-watering sum he paid to use Taylor Swift 's music in his stage show. The 61-year-old star revealed the five-digit figure while appearing on Vulture 's Good One podcast this week. 'I think it came out to $50K, around that. I did everything I could to get the joke in front of her,' he said about spoofing the 35-year-old singer's 2022 song Bigger Than the Whole Sky. He said he initially reached out to Swift's longtime collaborator, musician Jack Antonoff. 'I know Jack Antonoff enough to text him — and he's the cowriter on that song,' Maron explained. 'I said, "I don't know what's proper or how to do this, but we're running out of money on this thing. It's probably going to come out of my pocket. Is there anything you can do about this song or talk to Taylor?"' has contacted Taylor's representatives for comment regarding Maron's payment claim but have yet to hear back. Maron said that Antonoff directed him to 'go through the proper channels' to obtain a license for the song, which was featured on Swift's Midnights album. He said about the cost, 'It was doable. We made enough money. It was tight, but because of the ticket sales for the [televised version of the] special, we are able to get that song.' The fee allowed him to sing just 'a minute' of the tune, with financial consequences if he were to extend it. 'If I would have gone over the minute, it would have been more money,' he divulged. 'We couldn't even let it, like, play out the special or anything. So, I got together with a band and wrote that music as the opening and closing. Yeah, it was under a minute,' the entertainer recalled. Maron emphasized his 'history' with the song, and said he felt that he needed to play it during his standup set. 'It had to happen,' he insisted. 'The real fear is, like, she doesn't let you use it, and then what do you do? You can't do the bit on the special. That's why I was, like, [manifesting] "I think she'll like the bit."' The star noted that while Swift's team gave him the ok to use the music, he doesn't know if the Cruel Summer hitmaker has actually heard his bit. Maron has hosted the podcast WTF With Marc Maron since 2009, making him one of the original podcasters. He said about the cost, 'It was doable. We made enough money. It was tight, but because of the ticket sales for the [televised version of the] special, we are able to get that song'; pictured in 2019 In June he announced that he and producer Brendan McDonald are ending the show later this year, per Variety. 'WTF' is coming to an end, and it's our decision,' he told listeners during an episode featuring comedian John Mulaney as a guest. 'We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall.' He added candidly, 'It was not some kind of difficult decision, necessarily. Neither me nor Brendan — who are the only people in charge of this operation on every level — we both realized together that we were done.' Marc is currently promoting the animated family comedy The Bad Guys 2, in theaters August 1.

And like, I think it's quite rare to be honest, like, what, like, what you do have." This is when Harry thought that his partnership with Helena was "more friendly" and his connection with Shakira was more "relationship focussed". Conor replied: "That's fine. Man, that's like, you know, that's how you feel. "No one can blame you for how you feel, but you just need to communicate it man.
