This included Ekin-Su planting a kiss on Sammy Root - despite him being coupled up with Elma Pazar.
Writing online, viewers are certain they know what Ekin-Su's motivations are.
One penned: "Ekin when she secures her screentime by out of nowhere kissing the guy that is in a couple with the girl that got the most votes last time & that has an infamous temper."
Another added: "She saw Elma going crazy yesterday and told herself this is the way to get screentime."

While a third chimed in: "Ekins figured she’ll get the most screentime by going after Elma."
A fourth wrote: "She’s the only one who’s provided the drama all season, ofcourse she’s going to get screen time when others are doing nothing!
"It’s an entertainment show, nothing too serious."
Upon witnessing the surprise smooch, Elma remarked: "She didn't kiss anyone else's fella" .

It came as an extra shock, given Ekin-Su had earlier assured Elma that she wouldn't kiss Sammy.
Upon learning the heart rate challenge was imminent, the Celebrity Big Brother star said: "I'm going to kiss everyone!"

Elma then interjected, pointing out that kissing wasn't a part of the game.
In response, Ekin-Su mouthed back: "I won't snog your man!"
After the challenge, the two girls sat down for a chat to discuss what happened.
Ekin-Su said the kiss had just been a peck and that it wasn't "that deep".
