Is it time to axe love island
 

Yes!

Get rid and return to 1 CBB every january (with civi BB returning in about 5 years)

For what reason?

It’s ****e

Caroline will not die in vain

Jeremy Kyle got axed when one person associated with it killed themselves, 3 people now have from Love Island...

:clap2:

But none of their deaths have been related to the show in any way. The suicide of the person from Jeremy Kyle was down to the show, and it’s axing was as a result of the shows treatment to the contestants. The Love Island suicides have been unrelated to the show, and the aftercare and treatment has improved massively since their criticism. There’s no way in which the show could be axed as a result of these deaths, they’re separate entities.

Tea!

Are you saying if the two contestants that killed themselves didn’t go on Love Island they’d have still killed themselves?

Its a toxic exploitation of young people and a celebration of body deformity and poor education

a disgusting programme

Pretty much.

Jeremy Kyle used people with mental illness for the show and they were all humiliated and laughed tbh and Li wasn't anything like that. a huge difference.

If lots of people did things differently they might not have killed themselves. Sophie’s death iirc was down to her mental health and her relationship none of which came from Love Island so that can’t be linked in anyway.

Mike’s, yes, was assumed to be as a result of media attention and backlash but Love Island wasn’t the only show he did? He got an awful amount of hate, even more so, from Celebs Go Dating so should we axe that too? Oh and he did an unaired season of Ex on the Beach so let’s get rid of that for good measure ...

I don't think end, but go on a hiatus and to return with a massive overhaul and clear changes.

Yes vapid bs that's way more problematic than it's worth.

All terrible shows, I agree axe them all

Spot on!

Mike received a lot more hate when he was on CGD than LI. He behaved worse on that show than he even did on LI.

I love the interactions , the body language, sussing out the game players ... Mike , Eva , Demi , Natalia etc

Plus there’s always a couple of gorgeous women ..

How many people linked to this show have to die for it to become an issue, though?

The person who killed themselves from the JK show already had mental problems ,his sister said it was not the fault of the show at all,it was pulled due to the backlash of people who didn't like it, so I think maybe LI also needs to be looked at in the same light, it's cant just be coincidence 3 people have killed themselves connected to that show.

axe strictly too


whilst we are axing rubbish

I think they shouldn't do it so often, every couple of years would be better.

I’m a bit on the fence about this.

I enjoy it as a show and don’t think it can be fully blamed for the deaths of Sophie, Mike and Caroline. Especially Caroline’s, considering that hers is most likely linked to her ongoing court case.

However, I can see how problematic it’s now becoming and a lot of ex-islanders themselves like Malin and Zara seem to be under the impression that it needs to be axed.

Idk, if it saves someone’s life then yes. But I don’t think we can just blame LI (esp in Caroline’s case)

I’m pretty much the same as this tbh.

I don’t think the show is entirely to blame, I think social media and the tabloids are partly to blame as well.

Love Island honestly has more negative impacts on society than positive, suicides aside, it’s vapid and I genuinely think it’s deteimental to young people’s mental health.

I was chatting with my manager a while ago and she was talking about how her 16 year old wants a boob job and lip fillers to look better, because of what she’s seen on love island

It’s entertaining at its best, but it’s hard to turn a blind eye to its dark side and impact
