There was a longer ad as well that first aired during the Survivor Finale

They are doing 5 nights a week but didn't use any UK footage surprisingly. Robin Kass, who's in charge of casting for BBUS is doing LI's casting as well so hopefully we don't get a lot of mactors on BB this year

So I'm betting on it being ****ing terrible

Surprised they kept the theme they usually change it to a new one

Its being produced by itv so it'll most likely be virtually identical (in the same sense love island australia is, if you've seen that)

They had a bazillion ads for this during Big Brother last night, the credits ad was kinda cringeworthy

This would be better suited to VH1

VH1 did the love reality shows better :love:

[Gstar]

Will perch the first week and make a decision from there

[mgiuda]

The official Love Island USA Instagram account posted that they are revealing the cast soon on their Facebook account. Didn't give an exact day or time but presumably very soon!

I feel this will be a mess but I want Macie to stan and watch the UK one

[Samm]

yeah apart from the yeehaw cowboy, most of this cast looks british ff

[Natalie.]

Yeah most of them look British, it was my first thought when I saw them

[Mokka]

Can't wait for the Marketing Exec female to fall in love with the cashier...??
All the women being beautiful and successful and the men models and minimum wage earners...and not really good looking. Who cast this?

yeah this cast has too many dumb recruits and is missing a Love Island superfan if you ask me!

Michael and Elizabeth :drool:

Great casting from Raph there :clap1:

Wait what Raph cast this? Lmao

There's no Asian gals so all his picks probably got rejected by the execs :skull:

[Jack_]

I feel like Steal will definitely happen on this show before it does the UK one

I don’t really pay attention to cast releases, but I’ve been reaaaally hoping that they cast some people who are only there for the money and actually increase the “game” side of the show that was present in S1/S2 but hasn’t been since

If it’s gonna happen anywhere it has to be the US

[Macie Lightfoot]

but it's an International Sensation!

It also has the current cretins of BBUS livid that they had to promote Love Island while in the house and it's going to air five times a week while BB only airs three :love:

I'm not fully getting my hopes up but I would loooooooove if this show became big enough in the US to have multiple seasons and potentially kill off BBUS. Love Island asserting its dominance all over the world would make me laugh so ****ing hard.

jxy7WG6A0P4

This is gonna be a mess ahh

[Trouble1321075]

It's not in any of the ITVBe listings

Its on cbs all access channel in the us
Its a digital streaming channel

[Greg!]

Omg I'm watching it and this curly hair gal is a SCREAM!

[Macie Lightfoot]

SURPRISE, watching the second half of the premiere and this is surreal having it on an American television lmao

[Greg!]

The editing feels a bit off

[Macie Lightfoot]

The obnoxious cliffhanger being the cherry on top :love:

[Trouble1321075]

Its only the first episode but i see potential.

Not revealing who she was stealing i thought was an anticlimatic way to end the episode.

The most bizarre part of it is tjat its being aired on a commercial free atreaming channel and they have comerical breaks edited into it and they advertised other shows coming up next during the broad cast. As farvas i can tell the only channel its being broadcast on is cbs sll acess.

[iRyan]

I like that they’ve brought over the same production style as the UK version, and didn’t over-edit it. It feels exactly like the UK version, but with American accents. Hopefully it pays off for CBS but definitely seems like a huge risk.

That sounds awful :worry:

Reeeeeeeally not sure if I want to give this a chance or not, especially now that I've missed the premiere already. How many days a week is this supposed to be? :think:

Cbs seems to be the most aggressive broadcast network when it comes to breaking into the streaming market. They are investing a lot in terms of content into thier channel. Imo LI fits into their target demographic perfectly for streaming TV. The budget for LI is peanuts compared to some of the otjer exclusive programming they created for it. I think it has a pretty good chance of making it if they picked a good group of islanders. Jmo

PS
The one thing i dont like is that they seem to be setting it up so it can be run on regular tv too. That means it will be much more prudey than it could be on just streaming. American broadcast tv is very pg

[Owoaje1993]

I prefer it to the British version plus I think the American females are more attractive and I like that cliffhanger at the end

[Morgan.]

Started watching but I got bored after the coupling. Will give it another go when our version finishes I think.

[Owoaje1993]

Not really keen on the uk version in my opinion I don’t think this series interests me that much but I was interested in the US version I thought it was interesting to watch in my opinion

[Morgan.]

Alright, but that’s only in your opinion

[Nicky91]

hope this show flops so badly it won't come for a second season in US :fc:

[Owoaje1993]

Alright, but that’s only in your opinion
everyone likes different things as long as people are happy that’s all that matters

[Nicky91]

The editing feels a bit off

The obnoxious cliffhanger being the cherry on top :love:

of course all for the drama, this is just fake and scripted

all of these guys and girls in LI USA are probably actors and actresses :laugh2:

[Headie]

I enjoyed that premiere, y'all need to stop hating! :love:

Caro is gonna be iconic <3

[Tony Montana]

I'm about to watch the launch now.

[Tony Montana]

Mess.

[Natalie.]

I enjoyed the premiere, loved Caro and Alana
Only thing I didn't like was Yamen's reaction to Kyra being bi but yeah was fun

[Barry.]

Did badly at ratings on CBS. 0.6 and just under 3m viewers.

[Maxxie.]

Of course it would, wouldn't expect any different but it was quite good imo and I feel like it has room for improvement ratings wise. LI is the kind of show to grow through word of mouth and not really advertising, otherwise it would have been a hit from Series 1 (which it really wasn't and I remember being suprised at it being renewed for a second season) and look where it is now.

Tea. I doubt CBS will give it a chance like ITV did though.

[Calderyon]

Cancelled after season 1?

Just watched, it was cute :p

The only one I really liked was Alana, the rest are meh or annoying so far

[Owoaje1993]

I’m loving it

[Headie]

Lets have profile faves @James!

[Headie]

That second episode was so good, better than the premiere (which I thought was good too!) and I think this cast has loads of potential!

A scream @ them playing the "kiss the person who x" task on their own accord when they got back to the house, even tho the task finished hours ago :joker: These thirsty ass americans

Caro is an amazing islander and needs to be protected at all costs! <3 Alana & Yamen are my fave of the couples, but here for Mike saying he'd couple with Caro over Alexandra :clap1:

Hopefully these two new guys stir it up a bit! I guess that means a guy will be going home first which is fine by me!

[RileyH]

kyra picking cashel fdfdfddf

[Trouble1321075]

Im thinking one of the new guys will be eliminated if anyone is.

[iRyan]

Caro going in for that thirsty kiss with Cashel during the task, I screamed

The second episode has definitely got me invested now

[Adamw92]

Where is everyone not from the US watching this on?

[sleleen]

Just got an ad on Virgin Media Two that its ‘coming soon’

[Trouble1321075]

Where is everyone not from the US watching this on?

What kinda funny is i am in the us and cant watch it live. I have to wait till the next day for a stream but i can watch the uk version live lol. I can vote in the us version but i cant vote in the uk version. How backwards is that lol

[montblanc]

caro's desperate ass make out sesh with cashew ddd

[Trouble1321075]

caro's desperate ass make out sesh with cashew ddd
Caro isn't the one looking desperate this episodw. Michael however is looking a bit concerned that each of the new boys are targeting his current coupling and the girl he was looking to move on to, Alexandra.and Caro.

Caro is currently coming across as a sweetheart of a girl. She seems as if she is going into this wearing her heart on her sleeve. Cashel seems like he coupled up with a nice girl but he threw away a good thing to get her.

Michael has not impressed me so far. He seems like an arrogsnt drip who gets by on his looks but its early yet and my opinion can change.

Overall I'd say the girls look much better than the boys in this group which is the exact opposite of the uk cast.

[RileyH]

okay yeah i'm hooked now

[RileyH]

i wanted alana on a date tho :(

[EllieBrownFan]

Doesn’t Elizabeth look like Tully from Big Brother Australia?

[Morgan.]

Oop Zac has a tattoo inspired by Tyler Joseph’s - I might have to watch just so I can stan :smug:

[Headie]

Elizabeth & Zac are serving Lucie & Joe - I want them out asap!

[Headie]

First dumping tonight

3lXAdiSztZ8

[RileyH]

is the boy not chosen being dumped? bc if so I think it's Michael and I don't want him to go :(

[armand.kay]

So I'm all caught up with this and at first, I was like meh but I'm actually super into it. I LOVE Caro, she's such a scream dsivpdnvlpoj

[Trouble1321075]

I love the dynamics of this show. Caro went from being the only girl with a connection with someone to the only girl without one in s time span of 24-36hrs. Only on love island lol.

I was a bit surprised she picked the irish guy to couple up. I thought her daye went ok but when she came back she immeadiately sat right next to michael and shared with the group how she just wasnt feeling it on her date. I really thought she was goona pick michael.

One element of this game that i kinda enjoy is the coupling up part where they flip flop between the boys and the girls. It limits how coy a person can be about who they are interested in. Im looking at you mallory. It was good that she was forced to admit that she liked her cowboy. That poor guy needed some assurance that he had some kid of connection going with her. I think alsna needs the same assurance at the next coupling. She has been puttimg herself out there and deserves to know if yamen is feeling it or not.

[Headie]

That was a good first week, although a shame about the first elimination, I think I would've rather preferred that he stayed as his connection with Caro seemed more genuine.

Did I spot an asian gal as the next new islander??? Maybe Raph did actually cast for this show then!

[Headie]

Messss Mallory @ 2:55

[RileyH]

im HOWLING ahhhhh

[Nicky91]

i predict love Island usa getting 12 seasons in total :idc:

like america needs to milk contestants into celebs, since america is running out of celebs i think

[Headie]

Lowkey hope this doesn't air in the UK now. Judging off the youtube comments it seems people just wanna hate and make out that the UK version is superior instead of actually watching and enjoying the show open-minded :rolleyes:

It's been good and fresh so far.

[Adamw92]

Just caught up, I’m not sure what to make of it so far but I like a few of the islanders so I’m hoping we’ll get some big drama soon

[Ross.]

So is this good

[Ross.]

Is Troy enjoying the Love Island train?

[Headie]

So is this good

Yes get watching

[LukeB]

Is Caro still being compared to Amber, well US being compared to UK?

Caro and Amber are nothing a like, they don't look like each other or even have the same personality.

[JerseyWins]

Ok so I'm giving this a chance now and I honestly can't get through more than half this premiere and think I'm giving up. I'm sorry but how do people watch and enjoy Love Island? :skull: It's so tacky/cheesy/fill in the blank that I can't even see how like a hopeless romantic type could like it lol. But that's enough whining from me about the show. From this premiere:

Zac working at a grocery store... like what :joker: I liked him most though, really likable (and this pair is also the best on first impressions too, really cute match) :clap1:

Poor Cashel seems so awkward but sweet and Caro is DESPERATELY trying to get away from him asap :hehe:

Idk I might finish the rest of the premiere in a bit just to give it an actual full chance I guess.

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I'm just gonna finish the premiere at least... Cashel liking to brush with people because there's something intimate about brushing your teeth :skull:

[JerseyWins]

The Alana gif/pic with the sunglasses in the premiere :joker:

dddddddd @ Cashel & Caro having the best connection by the end of the episode

I'll actually take a small turn and say that premiere was ok :think: But mess @ the cliffhanger finish

1. Cashel
2. Caro
3. Zac
4. Elizabeth
5. Alexandria
6. Mallory
7. Weston (oh yeah, them playing Old Town Road in his intro lolol)
8. Alana
9. Kyra
10. Yeman
11. Michael

Why does Caro have pink eye btw? :worry:

[Strictly Jake]

Hope this airs on UK telly like the Australian one. Also hope the Australian version comes back to UK telly again this year. Much preferred it last year to our series!

[Nicky91]

Isn’t that literally BBUS

Love Island is Big Brother though only here the romances get liked :fan:

[Headie]

Zac and Elizabeth get on my nerves so much... WHY do the viewers seem to love them so much???

Zac talking about kids and marriage after a week is ridiculous.

Alana & Yaeman's relationship seems alot more natural and less forced... but I don't even need to point out why they're probably not the faves :whistle:

[RileyH]

i LOVE Alana & Yamen :love: definitely my faves by far

the new girls look really good :eyes:

[JerseyWins]

Ok I put this on but I don't even recognize some of them... Not even gonna pay attention, just waiting to see what Winston does :fan:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Alana the banana dipped in chocolate was AMAZING and she killed the game. Not to mention that the boys being tied up in bondage was A Look and the Spice Girls soundtrack was fantastic.

So yeah, great episode so far xx

[JerseyWins]

1) OOP @ Cashel & Caro being with different people :omgno:

2) OOP @ Mallory getting left hanging :omgno:

[JerseyWins]

Oh ****, I thought Yeman was gonna pick Alana :o

[Macie Lightfoot]

Okay that elimination was hilarious and sooooooo overdramatic but also sad as hell :joker: Alana was a ****ing MOOD putting her phone down and angrily storming off, dramatically throwing her clothes into her suitcase, crying to Yamen as he just sits there all :shrug:, KISSING Yamen only for him to wipe his mouth afterwards...... :joker::joker::joker:

[JerseyWins]

This show is just boring. I have watched all the episodes and I have given it a fair shot but I am just bored. Combine that with the fact that they got rid of 2 of the very few people that were actually providing any sort of entertainment and yeah it's a flop. I hope the UK version is better because this isn't it.

[Headie]

Fuming @ the recoupling results

[Headie]

Underrated moment this ep was Mallory literally closing the glass door in Katrina & Christen's faces as they bitched about them :joker:

Hopefully Winston is dumped at the first given opportunity, he's older than the rest of the cast and uglier (inside and out!) so fingers crossed :fc:

[Jason.]

Not Alana and Mallory dumped to make room for that dead ting

[Macie Lightfoot]

I’m catching up on this and just finished the first week so here are my rankings after week 1!

1. Kyra
2. Caro
3. Mallory
4. Alexandra
5. Dylan
6. Yamen
7. Alana
8. Michael
9. Weston
10. Cormac
11. Cashel
12. Elizabeth
13. Zac

I just LOVE Kyra, I don’t know why. I really like Caro as well but she might annoy me after awhile. Mallory seems like a mess. Dylan & Alexandra and Alana & Yamen are my two favorite couples. Michael was probably the hottest and he’s leaving first </3. The rest were irrelevant or boring.

Caro is starting to annoy me. That bootleg, wannabe pre-pubescent Cardi B accent is not gonna get you a boyfriend honey.

It's up to Katrina really to pick between Cash and Winston. Don't care for either of themIf they stay true to the formula, kyra will choose last and it will be between cash and the other guy.
Im with you on not caring for cash but i dont like the other guy either. If it comes doen to one or the other i dont really care which of them goes.

Winston i dont really have much of an opinion of yet. I dont feel like i got a read on him yet.

Right now my favorite is the new guy ray on the guys side. I cant say i have really taken a shine to any of the girls yet.

They were both two of my favorites and it sucks that they both had to go. Mallory seemed like she would’ve really served some dramz later on! I found her so funny and wish she got a better chance.

One thing I’m really happy to see is all of the support Alana got :love: The American public HATE Yamen, as well as I do, so I expect him to be gone in the first vote! I don’t like Christen much either so hopefully they both go.

Kyra, Alex, And Caro are my remaining favorites. I like Dylan and Cormac, but can Kyra ditch Cashel please?

[LukeB]

Do you think it will get more popular like the UK's did?

[Macie Lightfoot]

I think it will get marginally more popular but I can't see it reaching the heights that the UK version is at, especially with the Bachelor/Bachelorette holding a stranglehold on that market. A show being on every day is definitely something for Americans to get used to too, since we're so used to most programs being one episode a week.

That being said, the ratings aren't really good but they haven't been terrible and they've been steady and haven't dropped much at all. Apparently CBS execs are pleased because it's their most streamed show of the year and Love Island is bringing in a younger audience when CBS normally skews older.

I think it's going to be tough to break into that Survivor/TAR/BB triumvirate of CBS reality shows since they've been on the market for nearly two decades, but I can see Love Island going steady for a while and slowly growing in popularity. Not sure how long it'll last but I'll enjoy it while we have it (and hope that it kills off BBUS in the process :3)

[Trouble1321075]

Mallory closed herself off
Katrina and him lacked chemistry
Kelsey was unfortunate. She ws into him more than he her but he was honest with her. He told her he was interested in talking to other people.
Kyra needs to get over herself. She initiated everything and he was polite to her. She changes her mind more than i change my underware. Now she is trash talking him because he isnt going sll in for her, who would, given her track record?
Emily, he hasn't done anything bad to. He is trying to build a connection with her and Kyra and the girl pack have poisoned her head.

[Macie Lightfoot]

girl why not uk...

1) This **** only has 22 episodes compared to like 40-50 episodes in most UK series
2) CBS is pushing this show into canon with **** like Arielle being in the same advertisements as Probst/Phil/Chenbot, Winston from BB20 being an islander, and Caro/Ray being cast for TAR33 before production had to stop, so I do feel an obligation as someone watches and edgics Survivor, TAR, and BBUS
3) IDK, I'm American so I guess there's a little bit of nationalism even though this show was very mediocre lol. I still have some BBUK plans this summer so I feel like I'm getting my British fix pretty soon

[Macie Lightfoot]

I don't think I've ever hated a television scene more than the one I just watched where Elizabeth laughs about how she's the worst person to take to haunted houses, Zac laughs about how he hates free-fall drop rollercoasters, and then they start passionately making out as "Someone You Loved" played in the background. White mediocrity at its finest.

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/Jusm6RY.png

1. Caro (alol duh. I forgot how much of a star she was RIGHT AWAY because I have so many memories of Kyra just being a production plant but ugh she's perfect right from the start. Between the baby/Cardi B voice that she incessantly forces on every single guy and the fact that she is SO FICKLE that she cycles through like three or four different guys in the first week is hilarious. For every instance she kisses one guy and falls in LOVE, she then goes on a date with them and charms them with her baby voice and then realizes that she has nothing in common with them. It's a work of art)
2. Alexandra (she's just kind of a fun and nice presence?)
3. Cashel (another fun presence? He's just a weirdo but in a charming and authentic way)
4. Dylan (a little too ~bro~ for me but ultimately harmless)
5. Cormac (I don't really *like* him but he at least has the potential to spice things up and be unapologetically cutthroat)
6. Kyra (I'm trying to go into this with an open mind bc I didn't really care for her BUT so far my opinion is that she's just kind of a boring and predictable production plant)
7. Alana (she apparently exists? All she did was tongue Yamen during spin the pineapple and leave him frightened)
8. Elizabeth (she's kind of cute but then she does some cringeworthy **** like giggle about how she screams really loudly in haunted houses and whenever she gets the stomach flu she calls her family to say her final goodbyes bc she thinks she's dying. It's a little too much of a BBUK HM shtick)
9. Mallory (kiiiiiiind of desperate and not in a fun way)
10. Weston (is actually largely irrelevant Week 1)
11. Yamen (is just kind of there)
Michael (I don't dislike him enough to put him in red bc he's so irrelevant BUT he's just really awkward and it makes me uncomfortable bc it's kind of excruciating)
12. Zac ("I work in a grocery store and totally DO NOT have modeling experience and I live at home with my mom and my three sisters and I am really close with them :3" it's fitting that he's coupled up with Elizabeth because *HE* is such a ****ing golden boy to an obnoxiously fake degree, again very BBUK style like his girlfriend)

Week 1 was fine! Definitely a bit of a slow burner since the plot was entirely driven by Kyra and then Caro, but Caro is such a tour de force that she can make any scene entertaining just by making weird faces and talking in her patented baby voice. I can't imagine this show without her, and thankfully I don't ever have to :love:

[Macie Lightfoot]

"SORRY, I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE." --Mallory as she slams the sliding glass door in Katrina's face so she can continue to talk **** about her with the other girls.

The Mallory/Alana double boot is easily the best episode thus far because we actually have some plot development. The Mallory/Weston fallout is kinda lame and she kinda had it coming because she explicitly said she doesn't want to date him, and Katrina is a fun MORP presence so it's no loss at all. The Yamen/Alana/Christen conflict is actually a fun 1-2 episode storyline and really served as Alana's breakout. She gave fun confessionals about being stuck in the Hideaway with Mallory, had some fun quips like when she told Christen that she better not hug her, and then ~Alana the Banana~ in the superhero game was a great attempt to make her territory by screaming, doing cartwheels and front walkovers, and tonguing Yamen while everyone else just stood there all :nerd

And then the fallout from the recoupling was GLORIOUS. Alana putting her phone down and dramatically storming off, Mallory crying about how she's the girl who couldn't find love on Love Island, Alana sobbing as she packed her suitcase, Alana coming out and yelling "DO YOU WANT TO TALK?!?!" at Yamen, and then Alana tonguing Yamen one last time on her way out only for him to wipe his mouth aftewards holylol. She was kind of irrelevant until this episode but it was a great single episode performance. It also helps her cause that Yamen was kind of dick, first saying that Alana was rushing into things too quickly and that he wanted to take it slow but then this episode saying that things with Alana weren't progressing quickly enough.

And now we're in the Winston era, which I think somehow makes me appreciate his BB stint slightly more?

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/Y6zlfFL.png

1. Caro (the heart and soul of the show, changing which guy she has a crush on every episode, sometimes even within the same episode! The last episode had her start off by saying she's falling for Cormac and then halfway through she says she has a crush on Weston?! She's such a mess but she's fully surrendering herself to the show and it's gri8)
2. Alexandra (everyone else decided to strip as a nurse of a cop or a firefighter and she wore a full on hotdog halloween costume :haha )
Alana (was kind of nothing until her boot but then her boot episode was stellar. Love her commitment to tonguing Yamen against his will any chance she could)
3. Cashel (is just cute and weird and ^_^ and I dig it)
4. Katrina (actually nice and fun? But I don't feel that strongly let's not get carried away)
Christen (I remember she was supposed to be some evil villain bc she burned her roommate's bed or something but then she got on the show and was just kinda there? Feel bad that she got booted so early, she had a fun spirit and I laughed how her boot episode was basically just her talking about how Yamen's a terrible kisser)
5. Winston (just entered the villa but is fine so far. Vaguely likable and in way over his head which is fun)
6. Dylan (a good guy for Alexandra but is just kinda there)
7. Kyra (lmao she's such a ****ing plant it's kind of annoying, like the last three episodes have just been like *UGH* I AM FALLING FOR CASH BUT NOW I'M JUST LOOKING FOR REASONS TO NOT LIKE HIM BECAUSE *THERE ARE ISSUES* like shut up lmao)
Cormac (very much Just There but he earns his mid placement after putting up with Caro for his entire stay)
Mallory (I find it bizarre that people were OUTRAGED at her dumping because she basically gave Weston permission to pursue other girls AND she was just kind of desperate and whiny and not in a fun way)
8. Elizabeth (she's not bad but she's NOT actively good in any way, just a boring frontrunner because she and Zach have ~true love~ or something)
9. Weston (just got a bunch of obnoxious P-SPV this episode despite just being there. Pass)
10. Yamen ("Alana's moving too fast, I just want to slow down and get to know her and let things progress naturally" vs. "things aren't going anywhere with Alana, I have a *spark* with Chrsiten" whatisthetruth.gif)
11. Zac (THE most generic and obvious winner in the world holy ****. Every scene is just him expressing his complete devotion to Elizabeth, someone who he has met like a week and a half ago. It's all so put-on and contrived and nauseating)

This week was good, I thought! I definitely think this show suffers from a few things, such as moving too fast in terms of there being new entries and eliminations like every other episode and there not being time for things to just simmer and build, as well as the fact that each episode only focuses on like one or two couples in detail and the rest are just background fodder, but stories are starting to develop and personalities are starting to come out so that's fun. Caro continues to remain head and shoulders above the rest of the cast. This is her world and we're all just living in it.

[Macie Lightfoot]

"I know everybody is gonna miss you... yeah. Alright. *hugs Cashel* You guys are so awesome! *hugs Katrina* I didn't even get to hang out with you but you're so beautiful and so sweet, you guys are amazing" ~ I'm pretty sure that Arielle nearly being moved to tears by Katrina and Cashel's elimination was The Moment that cemented her status on CBS's Mt. Rushmore with Jeff, Phil, and Julie.

https://i.imgur.com/cgSZkje.png

1. Caro (a low-key week for her but she's still fun whenever she's on screen)
2. Alexandra (I forgot that she actually turned low-vis CP in the middle with the comment Dylan made about how he's open to getting to know other girls)
Cashel (poor guy, Kyra really did chew him up and spit him out just for fun)
Katrina (poor girl, Weston really did throw her aside as soon as Kelsey stepped in. It's okay though, I'm sure he found true love :) but on a real note, she really is a girl's girl and it was really cute how she still supported Kelsey and didn't hold any grudge against her)
3. Ray (UTRP and cute and already a devoted worshipper of Caro)
4. Aissata (I totally forgot that "I'm celibate" is her whole thing so far but she's just really sweet?)
5. Dylan (The comment about being open to talking to other girls wasn't cute but eh he's still one of the better guys left if only by default. He's the stereotypical surfer bro but it's not all that obnoxious and he's smart enough to be in on the joke? Like I'm sure his edit on BBUS would be obnoxious and I'd hate him for it but it's the perfect amount here)
Winston (he was nice? and really awkward, to the point where the only girl he could connect with was someone like nine years his minor? It was a nice follow up to his BB stint where he's less of a douche and they focus even more on his inability to get girls :love:)
6. Kyra (I'm *SHOCKED* that she's this high because I don't really care about her at all lmao. I keep saying it but she HAS to be a ****ing plant, like every move she makes is straight from a Love Island textbook. She's fickle as **** and has serious issues with how she handles her feelings towards men she's attracted to and she's definitely THE main character, but I really don't care about her at all)
7. Kelsey (she's nice? Being attracted to Winston loses her points but it's going to turn into sympathy soon bc he's a ****boy)
8. Eric (he's supposed to come in as The Bad Boy Of Love Island and he's not even that villainous alol and for someone who's clearly supposed to be hated or in the love-to-hate territory, I have next to no feelings about him!)
George (he seemed nice? And he was 30 which is Old in Love Island years. And he was also hardly on the show and I don't think he even started to form a connection with anyone alol goodbye)
Marli (she was attracted to Winston and made me laugh when she didn't know who Luke Bryan was and left Winston appalled)
9. Elizabeth (WE GET IT you're in love with Zac)
10. Yamen (okay so he absolutely is a ****boy buuuuuut there's a slight bit of charm there that keeps him out of red? Maybe it's because the rest of the girls and the show itself are acknowledging that he's a ****boy)
11. Zac (just BORING like we get it, you're in love with Elizabeth. The relationship proposal and the waterfall date were maybe the two most nauseating scenes of the season and he's still in yellow because he somehow felt the least shoved down our throats this week? Maybe because he also received some solid N content)
12. Weston (ugh speaking of ****boys, this asshole is sooooooo annoying and smarmy. He hyped Katrina up as a family-oriented girl but then basically ghosted her because she's TOO family-oriented that she wouldn't have time for him? And suddenly HE'S the expert of relationships and is willing to lecture Zac to stop being boring and ditch The Boys to hang out with Elizabeth because she's going to control him and change him despite the fact that 1) Weston is 25 and Zac is 22 so they are basically in the same age bracket and 2) Weston is basically being more controlling of Zac than Elizabeth ever has been? GOODBYE HUMAN and I'm not even at the part of the season where he gets really ****ing awful)

So this week was kind of crazy because THE LOVE LINER brought in six new people and we had three different episodes where people were dumped from the island! The recoupling was interesting enough because quite a few people swapped partners and it's starting to feel like the part of the season where couples are started to get solidfied, and I think that's helping the show because the couples can actually take the time to develop their own storylines. The week was a little *too* centered on the Cashel/Kyra/Eric love triangle and Kelsey/Weston got a little too much repetitive airtime for my liking but I'm still enjoying things to some degree. It's not breathtaking television but it's not really unwatchable or anything.
