Love Island Voting Format ...

[Morgan.]

Do you like the mixture of public eliminations and contestant decided eliminations - or would you be more in favour of it being all public or all contestant decided.

[Firewire]

I like the mix, it's not Big Brother.

Personally I feel like it should be all contestant decided because I don't get the purpose of removing someone who could potentially be in love and having their partner stay? Like Rachel with Rykard.

The public vote should be in place for the final though.

I like the mix, keeps it exciting/fresh.

I've said from S1 that I really like the recoupling format - what it does especially is enhance the "social game" aspect of this show in the sense that if you're not coupled up, you need to strike up a bond with someone to convince them to pick you (like the position Niall/Samira/Alex find themselves in)

What I STILL wish they would do is cast people who are legitimately and unequivocally there just to play a game. As in, they're not there for love (they might even be in a relationship!) and they just want to play someone in the hope of winning £50k

Then and only then may the split or steal twist on finale night at last deliver the most iconic TV moment this decade :cheer2:

They basically are all there to play the game (there’s no way they are there for love after seeing the success of previous islanders) but they can’t come across as game players as their career post show relies solely on public perception so yeah like you say that would only work if they cast people wanting the 50k (or an enhanced prize fund) but not wanting fame.
