I had given up on it by that stage, but that sounds awful. Seems they purposely tried to split them up then, for 'good tv'. I get that they want drama and such, I just find it..horrid. Even without the manufactured stuff, the whole premise of it just is bad to me :laugh: Especially if any of them genuinely do go in to 'find love'..which I doubt tbh.

Yeah I can't watch it any more for that reason, it's all just too manufactured and at the expense of people's feelings :/
Oh no doubt fame is one of the biggest attractions, but I also don't doubt people find themselves falling for people while they're in there, not expecting themselves to, and I imagine it can really **** them over

Love Island isn't responsible for Celebs go dating aftercare but no one mentions other shows he's been on. They did need to up their aftercare though because the fans are super toxic, sending death threats and way more abuse (which isn't the shows fault they can't control them)

Oh absolutely it's not the aftercare that's solely to blame, but the fact Sophie was only really known for LI2 and didn't do any shows after Love Island puts it into perspective, especially since no reality TV stars from other shows have killed themselves to my knowledge (although reality TV had definitely affected people based on how people have spoken out). In fact, I don't recall seeing Love Island's producers responding to either death :(
