'Temptation Island:' Taylor Gives Ash Some Necessary Realness Which Leads To Tension

Hania Stocker and Ash Lamiroult are growing further and further apart by the millisecond on “Temptation Island.”

The couple, or should we start saying “soon to be former couple” are at a very sticky spot in their relationship.

When they arrived to “Temptation Island,” Hania wanted an open relationship while Ash was completely against it.

As the weeks have gone on and the bonfires have shown that “when Hania is away, Ash will play,” and Hania has changed his tune about having an open relationship.

The past two episodes, Hania has been an emotional wreck and finally seems to understand the damage he’s done to his relationship.

Throughout season four of “Temptation Island,” he’s admitted to cheating on Ash on multiple occasions to the other singles in the villa, which Ash got to see at the bonfires.

However, despite his best efforts and most theatrical performance in a 30 second video clip, Ash isn’t having any of it.

“The video message has really solidified my stance with Hania,” she said. “At this point I don’t think I’m going to be seeing any type of growth that matters to me.”

She told the other girls in the villa his video message was a “performative piece of s**t.”

“I don’t know if he’s learned about anything. He’s humble bragging about cheating on me. I’m just like f***ing heart broken,” Ash later admitted.

While Hania delivered up his best Bill Shakespeare, Ash and Taylor Patrick were cleansing themselves with sage of toxicity.

“I am cleansing all of the negative programming from this person I chose to be in a relationship with,” Ash said. “I’m not too much, he’s just too little and I want to be as much as I am if not more.”

She even admitted that she cannot go back to who she was when she was with Hania.

“I can’t go back to who I was in order to be with Hania, and I’m really grateful for the fact you [Taylor] can kind of keep me out of those moments of weakness where I’m like, ‘Well what if he’s the only person who won’t leave?’”

However, Hania’s video message seemed to strike a chord with Ash even though she’s spoken ill about their relationship and him.

Throughout the episode, tension grows between Ash and Taylor, which leads Taylor to serve up some necessary realness to Ash.

Taylor told Ash, “He’s [Hania] not for you and it’s been clear as day in the last experience on this island. It was a game he was playing.”

During a confessional Taylor admitted he’s not sure what to do about his relationship with her.

“Ash she still keeps going back to the thought process, ‘What if he’s the only one that won’t leave?’ So, I don’t even know what to do at this point,” Taylor admitted.

Ash now seems to be torn between Hania and Taylor.

“I hate having this tension with Taylor, but he needs to also remember, Hania has been in my life and I don’t want Taylor to feel like he’s not important to me, or that he’s just like this quick fix and something I’m going to throw away when I’m done,” she said.

On the other side of the island, Hania was still hung up on the fact Ash didn’t send him a 30 second video message.

“She could’ve got her s**t together and sent me a message, and that really hurt that she didn’t have that in her to do that,” Hania said. “I don’t know what it was other than she didn’t have the words for a message at that moment, I don’t know that reason.”
