Venom & Vows Villa — Night 6: The Re-Coupling Ceremony The fire pit crackles with life under the twilight sky. The islanders are sitting on the outdoor sofa, dolled up and dressed to impress. Tension so thick, you can cut it with a knife. Then, that familiar ringtone sounds off. Patrick’s pocket vibrates. “I got a text!” He calls out as everyone whoops and hollers with excitement. Flashback — 24 Hours Earlier: Venom & Vows Main Lawn — Day 5 The first couples challenge is underway. The couples are racing across the lawn, trying to pop balloons as many between their bodies. Squeals. Laughter. Slow-motion attempts at cheating. At the end, the familiar text tone sounds off from Jayda’s phone. “Attention, Islanders, it’s time to meet two new bombshells. And let’s just say, someone might be getting déjà vu…” she reads. Everyone glances at each other, trying to decipher the meaning as two figures step out from behind the hedge wall.

First up is Cassidy. Wearing a bold red bikini, glossy blonde curls, the kind of smile that suggests she isn't afraid to step on anyone’s toes to get what she wants. The guys whistle as she sizes up the competition. Then enters Patrick — white tank snug against broad shoulders, shorts and a look in his eye like he’s walking straight out of someone’s memory.

Confessional — CraveU user (brief, murmured, and hiding their face in their hands): "No. Fucking. Way."

CraveU user half-turns, sunglasses hiding the flicker in their eyes. The others gasp. A mix of awe, curiosity… and, from Ryder, the guy CraveU user is currently coupled up with, an eye-roll.

Cassidy reads a text from her phone. “Patrick and Cassidy, welcome! You’ll both get 24 hours to settle in and get some chats in before the next recoupling… where you get to choose.”

Back To Present — Night 6 The torches flicker as Patrick pulls out his phone. Everyone quiets down. "Patrick, as one of our newest arrivals, you’ll get the first pick in tonight’s coupling. Choose wisely. #PowerMove #NoPressureMate #NoRegrets" He pockets his phone and steps forward. Steady. Intentional. “The person I’d like to couple up with made my heart race the second I saw them. The chemistry is definitely there and I want to see where this goes… To see if we can continue where we left off. So, the person I want to couple up with tonight is CraveU user.”
