A second put: "These girls r drunk I mean they have to be such drama queens loosen up a bit jeez."
A third commented: "Harriet looks like she's a lightweight, she looks drunk already DID LOVE ISLAND CHANGE THE ALCOHOL RULES."
Another added: "I have such secondhand embarrassment because why did Harriet run off crying like it’s deep.
"How much are they having to drink? Because that only happens when people are drunk."
One then simply quipped: "Is Harriett drunk?"
HIGH EMOTION
Harriett explained her sheer emotion in a chat with Samantha in the bedroom, where she asked her: "Why are you crying?"
Harriett replied: "I'm just p***ed off."
She continued: "I'm annoyed.
"I basically puled him before that I told him he is my top.

Earlier on in the episode Harriett and Ciaran told each other how they were feeling.
Yet later in the episode, fans blasted the brunette as "snakey" as she later pulled Joey Essex for a flirt in the exact same location.
BOOZE BLUES
Love Island has always had strict alcohol rules - capped at two drinks a night per star - in guidelines for the mental health of contestants.
All food and drink is bought by the show, so contestants are monitored closely during their wild nights in the villa.
Former Islanders including Eyal Booker and Laura Anderson have confirmed this in the past, sharing how little alcohol there was available on set.
Speaking to The Mirror, Laura said there were occasionally one or two bottles of Prosecco between them, "but you'd be lucky to get half a glass of that!"
Additionally, speaking about alcohol consumption in conversation with Closer, model Eyal also said: "It was very, very limited. Max two glasses of wine a night and that’s max!"
Meanwhile, viewers were convinced show bosses had relaxed the rules for the recent All Stars series.
