[Cherie]

Moved to 2021, it will be back :dance:

[Josiah.]

Yeah, ITV is saying that it'll be back in 2021. And Laura Whitmore is saying that they've had more applications than they've ever had before.

[Denver]

It could be gone for 18 months, there is no way the show can ever be filmed during social distancing

[Daniel.]

It’ll be back to take over again next summer <3

[Morgan.]

It could be gone for 18 months, there is no way the show can ever be filmed during social distancing

It’ll be back to take over again next summer <3

They’ve said the plan is still January, and it could be possible depending on the situation we are at in November time

[Amy Jade]

I've no idea why people are celebrating. Unless they've lost their tv remote and are stuck on itv 2 all summer it's pretty easy to avoid.

[Cherie]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

[Denver]

They’ve said the plan is still January, and it could be possible depending on the situation we are at in November time

But if this vaccinedoenst work we may be waiting till September next year which means social distancing so there is no way they would get away with strangers going to Spain to kiss and have sex while people at homecant go to large family gatherings.


Alot of RTV will actually suffer u told a vaccine

There is little point speculating at this point about any of that

[Glenn.]

Oh no... what a shame

[Denver]

There is little point speculating at this point about any of that

It's common sense though, if we still have restrictions on what family or freinds we can see coming to winter and beyond nobody will accept strangers meeting and having sex on TV

[Cherie]

of course its common sense, but who is to say they wont find an existing drug in the next six months that will work, or that the blood plasma trials will work, just calm down maybe?

[Denver]

It's possible but shouldn't put all the eggs in one basket, vaccines take a long time to produce so its 50/50 om it working but history would go against it working

[Denver]

But the fact they didnt axe it after 3 suicides was a trashy love

[Adamw92]

I've no idea why people are celebrating. Unless they've lost their tv remote and are stuck on itv 2 all summer it's pretty easy to avoid.

It’s hilarious reading through all of the tweets over on Twitter, people are really so happy that a TV show no one forced them to watch or read about won’t be on until next year :idc:

[Samm]

Who made adam an expert on the coronavirus?

[Denver]

Who made adam an expert on the coronavirus?

Clearly you know nothing if you think people are gonna be happy to watch strangers have sex on TV while they are banned from seeing freinds and family

[LukeB]

It’s hilarious reading through all of the tweets over on Twitter, people are really so happy that a TV show no one forced them to watch or read about won’t be on until next year :idc:

Most of them are BB fans who are still bitter about BB getting axed and new rtv shows are getting better ratings and are taking over.

[arista]

Oh no... what a shame

Drag race isn’t plastered all over the tv like Love Island though

plastered where?

[DouglasS]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

Speaking the truth as always :clap1:
The Ru Paul show is so trashy, Its weird as the fans of that show act as if Love Island is trashy, but ket pottle black

[Liam-]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

Eurovision fans have to deal with people constantly calling for us to pull out and cancel our viewing of it because they don’t watch it, it’s hardly a brand new phenomena

[Jigs]

Great news

Sooner it's off TV for good, the better!

[DouglasS]

But the fact they didnt axe it after 3 suicides was a trashy love

Caroline’s suicide Cannot be blamed on Love Island, she loved the show and working on it. Fair enough blaming it on the media / the court case

[Denver]

Caroline’s suicide Cannot be blamed on Love Island, she loved the show and working on it. Fair enough blaming it on the media / the court case

But was they supporting here through it is the question?

ITV bent over backwards for Ant who nearly killed a child yet took a step back from Caroline

They told her she can return for the summer series

[DouglasS]

But was they supporting here through it is the question?

Who knows

They did say the door was left open for Caroline and that she was having a year off and that she should return for the next series (which is what happened with Ant anyway, as Holly replaced him for a year on IAC, and Dec went solo on the other projects). We’d have never known if she’d have come back. It wasn’t possible or sensible for her to host during an ongoing trial when the show is filmed abroad

[Smithy]

plastered where?

It’s talked about on every single ITV show, every time you flick ITV2 there’s adverts for it, the complete nobodies who come off of it end up on every reality show going

[DouglasS]

It’s talked about on every single ITV show, every time you flick ITV2 there’s adverts for it, the complete nobodies who come off of it end up on every reality show going

Nobodies? molly Mae has as many followers as Ru Paul himself on Instagram, as well as double as almost every contestant. All reality tv contestants are nobodies in people’s eyes who don’t watch/know them

[Jordan.]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

Drag Race isn't at all as mainstream or controversial as LI. Bad comparison.

[Cherie]

The drama, I didn't think anyone watched live TV anymore and you can flick through

RuPaul has trailers too on BBC..... its no biggie

[Daniel.]

I feel sorry for people who don’t watch it because imagine not experiencing Anna Vakilli

[Cherie]

Drag Race isn't at all as mainstream or controversial as LI. Bad comparison.

Its on BBC for goodness sake, you cant get more mainstream than that lol

good comparison

[Cherie]

But was they supporting here through it is the question?

We don't know what ITV did for Caroline, the door was open for her to return after the court case

[LukeB]

Its on BBC for goodness sake, you cant get more mainstream than that lol

good comparison

Gets loads of hype too, even gets a good placing on netflix.

People need to get over how popular a show is, it’s only a tv show and tbh al rtv is trashy but we like it. More important things happening in the world than a tv show

[Smithy]

Might as well have just told me to turn the TV off Cherie :rolleyes:

[Denver]

Just reminded me of her and the dumb twat she is with thinking they had a interview on the biggest show in America

[Smithy]

:skull: she was still a nobody before love island and people only follow her bc of love island, she has no discernible talent; she is a nobody

Also why are you comparing her to Ru they’re nothing alike, you have the mindset of a 12 year old stan :skull:

[Morgan.]

It’s talked about on every single ITV show, every time you flick ITV2 there’s adverts for it, the complete nobodies who come off of it end up on every reality show going

The same goes for Big Brother back when it was in its channel 4 days, and most other popular reality shows. It’s not just a Love Island thing.

[Morgan.]

As much as I like Love Island, there will come a time where it won’t be the go to TV show anymore.

[Josiah.]

Also, you all do realise that you guys can watch past episodes of LI on the ITV hub (and for those of us in the US on Hulu).

[Morgan.]

Just reminded me of her and the dumb twat she is with thinking they had a interview on the biggest show in America

I mean Craig David fell for it too :hehe: It was obviously well structured and professionally formatted for 5 different people from different industries falling for it.

[Amy Jade]

Drag Race isn't at all as mainstream or controversial as LI. Bad comparison.

I love Drag Race but it is now mainstream in the UK as it is on the BBC and plus let's be honest they have 3 or 4 series now a year.

Drag Race
All Stars
Drag Race UK
Celebrity Drag Race

Not to mention the christmas specials.

[Morgan.]

Yeah I mean tbf the Drag Race UK queens are getting everywhere at the moment - game shows, chat shows etc.

[Nicky91]

Yeah I mean tbf the Drag Race UK queens are getting everywhere at the moment - game shows, chat shows etc.

tbh a drag queen was already known before drag race uk

Divina De Campo, she was on one series of the voice uk, no turns though and after that i saw her on all together now

[LukeB]

Also, you all do realise that you guys can watch past episodes of LI on the ITV hub (and for those of us in the US on Hulu).

They should put Love Island 2 on again when li7 was meant to start :love:

[The Slim Reaper]

It's common sense though, if we still have restrictions on what family or freinds we can see coming to winter and beyond nobody will accept strangers meeting and having sex on TV

Have you ever heard of pornography?

[Nicky91]

They should put Love Island 2 on again when li7 was meant to start :love:

inbefore replacement for this years love Island, is ITV News :fan:

[Morgan.]

That wasn’t what I meant

[Tony Montana]

It's hilarious how much this show makes people so pressed smh it's not that deep.

[Jordan.]

ftr I never disputed Drag Race's popularity I said it's not AS mainstream as LI to be fairly compared to it, which it's not.

[Amy Jade]

I'd argue it is though. Drag Race is huge now globally.

[Denver]

I like Love Island but I never understood what so obsessive of watching people lay there or hook up or what not, people get way to obsessive over the show

[caprimint]

Thank god for that, more time to discuss who Hannah from 5 years ago fancied for the 2749337th time now

broadcasters got tired of all that drama, filth after few episodes of first season :joker:

She is an attention seeking bint who thought abe was an A-Lister after coming out, can not stand her Maura was better

I wanted it to return next summer anyway, winter one was weird but a long break is going to help the ratings even more :love:

She’s a lovely girl :nono:

Your just looking for clout

[Denver]

I mean Gogglebox has had a dhit load of complaints for social distancing you seriously think nobody is gonna bat an eyelid?

[sleleen]

Yeah but your acting like you know absolutely everything

[Denver]

Yeah but your acting like you know absolutely everything

It's called common sense, people are having their holidays cancelled for the summer and being forced to social distancing sending people to a holiday destination to hook up is not a good thing at all when people have to suffer from the effects of what the virus has caused

[Smithy]

I'd argue it is though. Drag Race is huge now globally.

But in terms of its impact on the UK media it’s still very small, you can’t compare the two, people don’t discuss drag race daily on GMB/This Morning etc; they do LI

[Amy Jade]

1257258237210001409

The Queen has spoken

She's totally right.

[sleleen]

It's called common sense, people are having their holidays cancelled for the summer and being forced to social distancing sending people to a holiday destination to hook up is not a good thing at all when people have to suffer from the effects of what the virus has caused

Yeah but your trying to bait people by saying winter and beyond when you dont know owt yet

[Denver]

Yeah but your trying to bait people by saying winter and beyond when you dont know owt yet

It's a high possibility, if the government say no social distancing till a vaccine then they can just go do it on a TV show and a Baccine could take up to 18 months

[LukeB]

But in terms of its impact on the UK media it’s still very small, you can’t compare the two, people don’t discuss drag race daily on GMB/This Morning etc; they do LI

Cherie only said drag race because it’s popular on here and if people were cheering at it being cancelled, it wouldn’t go down well and she’s right. They will be a huge argument about it.

[Smithy]

Cherie only said drag race because it’s popular on here and if people were cheering at it being cancelled, it wouldn’t go down well and she’s right. They will be a huge argument about it.

That doesn’t really make any sense bc both LI and DR have their own forums, nobody is happy it’s cancelled bc they don’t want to see it on the site, it’s bc they’re sick of it in the media

[reece(:]

Why is Drag Race being compared to this, it had 1 episode a week for 8 weeks and wasn't forced upon us by the media? :joker:

Let it rot, sick of this trash polluting TV. I'm A Celeb and BGT next please. :fc:

[NICKP]

I actually think it’s a good thing love island taking a break this summer

[Shaun]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

Drag Race: a hugely competitive field that requires talent, dedication and hard work, and has been suppressed as an artform for decades before finally gaining mainstream traction
Love Island: slags (both sexes) on a beach with Instagram accounts

but ok, sure, totally comparable

[Samm]

Drag race comparisons are ridiculous as many have stated.

I agree with what Amy Hart stated, as I work around the TV industry and know freelancers, the income from the show would probably contribute to a big chunk of their yearly income this year.

[Cherie]

Of course it is, you are trying to dictate what people can and cant watch, I used Drag Race as its popular on TIBB, I wasn’t comparing content, lets face it if same sex couples were represented on LI there wouldn’t be half the moaning

[Shaun]

I'm just giving an opinion on a show, Cherie, I'm not dictating anything. You are delusional here.

[Liam-]

Right, the problem with love Island is definitely the lack of fame hungry gays

[Denver]

Right, the problem with love Island is definitely the lack of fame hungry gays

I see more of a problem that they are pushing the idea you have to look a certain way to be seen attractive

[Cherie]

Thank you for your interest and opinion on a show you don’t watch :idc:

[Cherie]

Thought you liked people to look healthy :idc:

[DouglasS]

I personally think the Love Islanders are hardworking. To get the kind body to be able to be cast on the show you have to have resilience, Hard work, graft and some talent. It’s easy to say they’re talentless/lazy/ when you have no idea what it takes to be able to have the discipline to achieve that body/form :shrug:

I’m not saying they’re smart, as many of them are completely stupid (Likewise with drag race contestants), but kudos to them for seeing an opportunity

[MB.]

Fun fact: the filming of this year's series of Drag Race UK was cancelled due to the lockdown several weeks ago and nobody on here battered an eyelid!

[Smithy]

Talented to get a good body :laugh3:

[Barry.]

Gym is hard!

[MB.]

*batted an eyelid (although it's a show where "beat your face" means "do your makeup", so I guess metaphors of self-inflicted violence come naturally)

[Cherie]

Fun fact: the filming of this year's series of Drag Race UK was cancelled due to the lockdown several weeks ago and nobody on here battered an eyelid!

Exactly my point, people who don't watch it didn't rush to make a thread about it to enable other people who don't watch it to celebrate :joker:

[DouglasS]

Talented to get a good body :laugh3:

I mean you’ve never been able to achieve a body like 90% of those cast, nor has 90% of the public. If it was easy everyone would look like that? It’s easy to say it requires no talent sat on your sofa eating crisps

[LukeB]

Talented to get a good body :laugh3:

:skull:

[Denver]

Thought you liked people to look healthy :idc:

I'm sorry but Muscles dont make you healthy and actually constantly going to the gym at the rate they do increases the risks of heart attacks that's before you take into account steroids which some clearly use

[Morgan.]

Chile you don’t even know what my body looks like? I’m sure the boys work very hard injecting steroids, must be a lot of effort for them

[Marsh.]

I know right? imagine the commotion if people who don't watch Ru Paul were celebrating its cancellation, just ridiculous :skull:

People celebrate when a show they can't stand is taken off the air, who actually cares.

Nobody's dictating what you or anyone else should watch, just expressing their own like/dislike/interest or otherwise about a show.

[Shaun]

Thank you for your interest and opinion on a show you don’t watch :idc:

Hope you're not dictating what I can and can't have an opinion on Cherie!!! It might be a rare bout of hypocrisy!!!!

21 year olds being fit isn't a talent.

If they were 51 year olds and worked hard to retain youthful/fit bodies then some element of hard work and discipline is involved.

But young people blessed with good looks, or covered in makeup or popping steroids is not a talent. Neither is shagging on TV.

I mean, personally, I'm not bothered about the show being on air or otherwise. I've managed to go the entire duration of the show's run having only seen it once. But let's not pretend it's something other than what it is. Like BB was, just cheap, mindless crap to switch your brain off to.

[Marsh.]

Clearly you know nothing if you think people are gonna be happy to watch strangers have sex on TV while they are banned from seeing freinds and family

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

[hijaxers]

Never watched one episode so no loss to me ~ i'd prefer it was never shown again.

[Jason.]

I see more of a problem that they are pushing the idea you have to look a certain way to be seen attractive

I've never understood this stigma surrounding the show tbh.

The entertainment industry has been pushing ideal beauty standards for decades.

The truth is we live in a shallow society and sex sells. There's a reason why most films/tv shows have actors that are more attractive than your average person on the street so why is it controversial when Love Island doesn't feature fat munters?

People like to say it pushes the narrative that only attractive people can find love, when the shows track record is abysmal in terms of successful relationships :laugh:

[Cherie]

Hope you're not dictating what I can and can't have an opinion on Cherie!!! It might be a rare bout of hypocrisy!!!!

Thats twice now you have resorted to insults!!!! but carry on if it makes you feel good!!!!

Where did I say you couldn’t have an opinion? how valuable it is to anyone as a non viewer is debatable, I’m sure ITV would file in in the bin

[Jack_]

Pretty much every Big Brother fan on this forum will have at some point in its heyday thought “why do people who don’t watch it care so much about it being on???”

The same applies here :shrug:

For what it’s worth though I’m kinda glad it’s not going ahead, two series a year is overkill

[montblanc]

aww

[Marsh.]

I see more of a problem that they are pushing the idea you have to look a certain way to be seen attractive

Coming from the guy who continually mocks overweight people.

[Trouble1321075]

It could be gone for 18 months, there is no way the show can ever be filmed during social distancingWhy not? They are litterally isolated from society for the entire show.

Sorry but I've been doing rugby and going to the gym for years and that doesn't make me talented. Disciplined yes, but not from shaping a body. If anything, I work out regularly because I am disciplined, not the other way around. That's why people stick to it if they wish.
And btw, you can work out and not look like any of the cast members (Gods knows I don't and don't wish to). And "super fit" people can still be unhealthy also.

So no, it doesn't taken "talent" to lift weights.

[Tony Montana]

Finally a positive to come out of this pandemic.

It's not completely axed so don't get your hopes up.

I'm glad they cancelled the winter series. It wasn't needed at all after how ****e January's series was.
