LOVE Island viewers have slammed the "most boring episode ever" as they begged for the return of the lie detector test.

Fans were disappointed with tonight's instalment of the show, which heavily revolved around the couples going on their final dates ahead of Monday's final.

The instalment actually got off to a promising start when multiple couples were seen getting frisky at the beginning of the show.

While Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague's bed was rocking vigorously while they got down to business, Maura Higgins was seen being snubbed by partner Curtis Pritchard.

The Irish beauty later slammed the 23-year-old dancer, telling the other girls that she wanted "an orgasm, not coffee" - but it wasn't enough to salvage the "boring" and "waste of time" episode.

In fact, many fans called for the iconic lie detector challenge to be brought back to jazz up the last few episodes after it was sensationally axed.

One wrote: "I'm sorry but WHEN THE F*** is the lie detector test?"

Another added: "These dates are cute n all but where's the drama??? Two words: LIE DETECTOR."

A third said: "The final dates part of Love Island are boring as f***... Get the lie detector out and bring in the parents."

Tonight's episode featured Curtis and Maura, Ovie Soko and India Reynolds, and Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea's final dates.

It is expected that tomorrow's show will include Molly-Mae and Tommy, and Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan's as the series draws to an end.

However, there was no preview for the next episode at the end of today's - leaving viewers hopeful that something exciting could be around the corner.

Although fans criticised the "boring" dates, many also flocked to social media to slam Curtis for "recreating" his date with ex Amy Hart as he wooed new squeeze Maura.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Curtis pulled the same slow dance move with both women - and even clocked that both Amy and Maura wore orange outfits for the occasion.

Love Island comes to an end on Monday night, where Caroline Flack will crown this year's winners.

However, disappointed fans have called for the £50,000 prize fund to be donated to charity this year as they slammed the lack of stable relationships so late in the series.

An online lie detector - Axios

Posted: 20 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Researchers at Florida State University and Stanford are developing an "online polygraph" that detects lies in text — without the contextual clues that can hint at deception in a face-to-face conversation.

Details: In experiments, the researchers found that liars used more florid prose and often expressed certainty, while truth-tellers responded more slowly and with words like "perhaps," "guess" and "could." They designed a machine learning system that can pick up on these subtle cues to correctly separate out liars from truth-tellers about three-quarters of the time. The results were published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior.

"You could use it for online dating, Facebook, Twitter — the applications are endless," says FSU researcher Shuyuan Ho, the paper's lead author, in an article published by the university.

Our thought bubble: The accuracy of old-school polygraphs — the ones that output the seismic wiggles seen above — has long been in question. A new test would have to clear a high bar to prove that it's not calibrated only to a certain group of people. It also provokes thorny ethical questions about the prospect of automatic deception-monitoring in online spaces.
