In a world with so much divisiveness and conflict, there’s one topic that I think everyone can agree on: Maurice from Love Island needs to get the fk off our screens.

There are two kinds of people in this world: people who AREN’T annoying, shallow, self-obsessed and narcissistic… and Maurice.

Maurice has quickly become one of the most disliked Love Island Australia contestants in history, with some viewers calling for his immediate departure.

Coming off the heels of his ex-girlfriend announcing that she was dumped two weeks before the show started, and Cynthia being conned by his slimey-ass and therefore causing Sam to go home, we, as a democracy, have decided that he needs to be the next to GO.

Here’s why Maurice from Love Island Australia needs to pack his bags and leave the villa immediately.


1. He’s literally just extremely annoying

Should we even go on? Anyone who’s watching this season just knows that Maurice ain’t it sis.

Between the defensiveness, the slimey-ness and the scamming, his shallow-ass should have been the first one to go.

2. Refer back to point one 

Remember our first point about him being annoying? Yeah, that one. Just wanted to reiterate.

3. He dumped his girlfriend two weeks before entering the villa 

Picture this: You’re in a loving, committed relationship with a guy for four months. Y’all have taken trips together, trained together, and became Instagram famous together, until one day he decides to break it off for NO reason whatsoever.

Shocked? Sure. But men are pigs so you get over it.

However, two weeks later, you turn on Channel 9 only to see his phony ass as a contestant on Love Island, talkin’ some smack about “desperately wanting love” and “haven’t dated anyone in a year”.

GET TF OUTTA HERE.

4. He was rude AF to Jessie 

Maurice got defensive when Jessie called him out, saying that the only reason he’s on this show is for ‘exposure’.

He popped off at her in response, saying things like “I think you’re uncomfortable with communication” and putting her down, telling her “communication is not your strength”.

To top it off, he fully started mansplaining to her how she should be feeling, and something about how her past relationship has scarred her which is why she was deflecting? DUDE, you’ve known her for a day… pipe down!

It was just some classic gaslighting, probably the worst we’ve seen on this show and yes, I remember Grant Crapp.

5. He’s clearly only using Cynthia to stay on TV 

Maurice had literally no interest in Cynthia until his beef with Jessie left him single and at risk of losing clout. So what did he do? He turned on the ‘charm’ or whatever you want to call it, and pretty much told Cynthia that he’s only ever had eyes for her.

Cynthia, being the sweet, innocent cutie that she is, has somehow believed him, but you can’t fool us, Maurice! Cynthia, you deserve Batman – don’t settle for Robin’s annoying cousin.

6. He only cares about his Insta fame… and his hair

What’s with #PoorCynthia waking up Maurice to alert him about his dating scandal, but before he could do anything he went to comb his hair? ALSO we get it Maurice, you own a media company. Mention it one more time plz!!!!!!

7. He smiles in inappropriate situations

#PoorCynthia was bawling her eyes out, trying desperately to pick between Maurice and Sam, only to have Maurice standing in front of her grinning like a 9-year-old?

He really thinks he’s all that, doesn’t he?

8. He wears briefs 

If we haven’t convinced you yet, this should be the one. Who TF is THAT CONFIDENT to walk around a house of 13 people wearing budgie smugglers?

In fact, forget the 13 people and walking around… who is wearing that PERIOD?

9. Refer back to point 1… again, please 

What was the first point again? Oh yeah, he’s ANNOYING. CASE CLOSED.
