Love Island viewers tuned into the All Stars final on Monday night (February 18), but they believed one of the stars was less than impressed not to win the show
Love Island fans believe they’ve spotted a sign that Sammy Root was gutted not to win the All Stars final.
Sammy Root and Elma Pazar placed fifth in the final on Monday night (February 18), which saw Casey O’Gorman and Gabby Allen crowned victors and Luca Bish and Grace Jackson finish second. Sammy had won Love Island with his now-ex Jess Harding back in 2023.
Elma had been voted the villa’s favourite girl but a lot of fans went on to slam her for her treatment of co-star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Host Maya Jama announced the pair had finished fifth, and some fans believed Sammy was rather disappointed not to scoop up another £50k.
Despite Sammy smiling and laughing during the interview, one person wrote on X: “Sammy is FUMINGG.” Another said: “You can tell Elma and Sammy thought they would win.”
A third person wrote: “Sammy’s disappointed he didn’t win again! He thought Elma being favourite girl would get him the 50k.” According to the Sun, one fan said: “Sammy’s face says it all, bro definitely thought he had another 50K.”
Another added: “Sammy looks like he’s done with Elma already and they haven’t even landed yet.” One viewer wrote beside a laughing emoji: “Sammy is ready to leave Elma as soon as they are out.” And one fan claimed: “By next week I’m certain Sammy and Elma won’t be together.”
Some disagreed and supported the romance. One person wrote: “Sammy is definitely feeling Elma.” Another said: “Say what you want about Elma but her and Sammy have a clear connection and they’re so cute together.” A third said: “Sammy is smitten with Elma looool, the difference between him now vs him with Jess.”
Asked if they had expected to make it to the final, Elma told Maya: “We got here by the skin of our teeth, let’s be honest. I was devastated.” Sammy was seen laughing as she said this.
On Sunday night’s episode, the pair found themselves among the bottom three in a public vote for viewers’ favourites to win. They were joined by Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame (who placed fourth), as well as Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint.
Thanking fans for their support, Sammy’s Instagram handlers said: “5th place. We want to thank every single one of you from the bottom of our hearts, who have loved and supported Sammy and his journey with Elma over the past few weeks.
“We are so proud to have watched the growth and maturity in Sammy and to watch his relationship with Elma blossom has made us all smile. The highs and the lows, they are our 5th place finalists! We can’t wait to see what SELMA do next. Proud is an understatement, our WINNERS.”
