Are Paris And Great Leaving 'Temptation Island' Single? Social Media Hints Yes!

Paris and Great arrived on "Temptation Island" as a couple with some issues to work through. But do they leave as a stronger couple with a clearer direction, or as singles?
Social media evidence points in the direction of the latter.
Will Paris And Great Leave The Island As Singles?
Paris, 23, and Great, 25, arrived on the island smiling and happy, but concerned their relationship wouldn't go the distance because they weren't quite aligned in their journeys.
When we were first introduced to the couple, we learned that they met on social media after Paris slid into Great's DMs. They've been together for about two years but don't seem to be on the same page about some big relationship issues like marriage and starting a family.
For Paris, her Angolan culture dictates getting married and having children early in life, but despite Great's Nigerian culture being similar, he wants to take things slow and not rush into anything. Both were optimistic that being on "TI" would help them come together stronger than ever, but as we get weeks into the experience, it's not exactly looking like they are getting anywhere together.
And social media backs up that thought.
Instagram Has Its Own Vibe Going On...
Paris is quite active on both Instagram and TikTok and if you read between the lines of some of her posts, you might begin to think that Paris and Great are no more. So let's deep dive into some of her recent posts.
This Instagram Story doesn't say much outright, but to viewers, it means there's some truths coming to the surface at the bonfires.
And speaking of the bonfires, if you watched the first bonfire where the couples were separated for their doses of truth, you know Paris was caught on camera saying something that really hit Great in the feels. She exclaimed that if there were no cameras watching, she would do something sexual to one of the singles. Ouch! That had to hit Great where it hurts.
And to come from Paris, when she's the one who told him early on, "If you do any crazy stuff, I'm not taking you back again. Every movement you do, you better think twice."
Ummmm...do as I say, not as I do, Paris?
Oh, and wait, there's more about that "sexual proposition" that came out of Paris' mouth, as she alluded to putting something in her mouth. Great's sister wasn't too fond of hearing that and shared an Instagram Story about it, that Great reshared.
Paris also shared a Story on Instagram that gives a little back story about her dating style.
"I'm an African women I don't date for 'fun' that's not my culture. In my culture if you decide to talk to a guy is bc u see yourself having a future with that person," she wrote in the Story.
"I'm an African queen I don't waste my energy. I grew up watching the women in my life getting married and respected, what do I look like settling down."
So, the math isn't quite mathing as far as a future for Paris and Great. But wait, there's more...
Let's Dive Into TikTok!
Paris has a pretty active TikTok page where she posts random videos that some could assume point in the direction of being a single girl.
One video is captioned, "Let's talk and see where it goes," and another, "Here's the girl who still believes that loyal man went extinct."
Another video, shared a few days ago says very little, yet a lot.
Another video is captioned, "When my ex new gf is somewhere thinking she found soulmate." And there are many other videos that if you read between the lines, may take you to a different narrative than what you may have been thinking with this couple.
So what do you think based on Paris' many social media posts? Are her and Great going to make it to the finish line and leave the island as a stronger, more confident couple, or are they leaving as exes?
