FANS of Love Island think that producers brought back the baby challenge to prevent a certain couple from winning the series.
The Love Island final is in touching distance, and fans are convinced the iconic baby challenge made a comeback to ensure one couple does not win by any means.
Fans think that show bosses do not want one of the couple’s to win the £50K cash prize and title of 2025 Love Island winners.
That couple is Jamie Rhodes and Yasmin Pettet .
The couple, who got together after Casa Amor, recently went exclusive after meeting each other’s friends and family.
But despite their strong bond, there seems to be a rift of sorts between the pair.
When the baby challenge kicked off in Thursday’s episode, it was clear that Jamie and Yasmin wanted different things in life.
Yas was less than impressed and told her partner that she’s not maternal and has no interest in becoming a mother.
Despite seeing kids in his future, Jamie assured Yas it wasn’t a deal breaker for him.
Jamie told Yas he was surrounded by children in his family, and “probably would” want to have children of his own one day.
Yas then said she’d rather her friends have kids that she spends time with so she can “give them back”.
She confessed: “I’ve never had the desire to have a family.”
“It’s not a complete deal breaker, but it’s definitely up there,” Jamie responded.
This conversation then sparked fears for the couple, with one eagle-eyed fan thinking the challenge was brought back to purposely ensure the pair do not win this summer ‘s series.
A fan on X shared their theory, writing: “Hear me out: the producers brought back the baby challenge for like 10 minutes just to prompt a conversation between yas and jamie wanting different things because they don’t want them to win.”
“Yes 100% agree with this,” said one person.

“Actually tho because megan and toni also don’t want kids but that conversation wasn’t shown???” added a second.
“And I still voted for them because I’m not a sucker,” declared a third.
While the original poster replied: “Producers think they’re so sneaky but we see through it!”
Meanwhile, others predicted the pair will not last long.
“Oh dear – Yas & Jamie might fall out over wanting kids,” said one person.
“I love them. But Yas and Jamie won’t last. They just want different futures. Jamie would be an amazing dad,” said a second.
While a third wrote: “That’s the end of Yas & Jamie…he fully got the ick Kids is always a deal breaker for someone who really wants kids, especially when you then try to tell man about your cat instead.”
