Monday, July 14th wasn't just any Monday—it was finale night, and The Social House Nairobi turned into a full-blown Love Island villa. Hosted by the effortlessly stylish Ashley Chao, with Kenya Collective behind the magic and Gordon's Gin bringing the flavor, the Love Island Watch Party was exactly the kind of girls' night out we didn't know we needed.

From the moment guests walked in, it was all good vibes and tropical touches. A lovely set-up welcomed us. Think mood lighting, outdoor lounging, and a chic photo booth that had everyone striking poses before the real drama began. Guests were handed fruity, island-inspired Gordon's cocktails and good ol' classic popcorn. Simple. Perfect. Just enough to keep everyone sipping and snacking through the chaos.

Inside, the energy was villa-core. The screens lit up, the crowd locked in, and the baddies in the chat were now baddies on-site, glammed up and ready with hot takes. Squeals, cheers, gasps... the reactions were instant and real. Nicolandria (our forever faves) had the crowd on edge, and when the final couple was revealed, let's just say: opinions flew faster than a dumped Islander's exit text.

While a few guys were spotted sipping quietly in the background, the night truly belonged to the girls. It was the kind of event where friendships are forged over recouplings, and strangers become besties mid-eye-roll. Gordon's cocktails kept the mood light and lifted, while the show gave us everything: romance, chaos, betrayal, and, of course, drama.

Post-finale, the conversation kept flowing. Some were thrilled, others passionately disagreed, but there was one thing we all agreed on: this needs to be a tradition. Love Island Watch Parties in Nairobi? Yes. Every. Damn. Season.
