Love Island will suit teens far more now. It's perfect for the TOWIE market.

I can see it getting around the same figures as BB16, maybe slightly more.

Remember that TOWIE, a show that is apparently so popular with the same demographic as BB rarely gets over 1m.

Good point.

Love Island will flop hopefully

I don't see how it wouldn't - BB is hanging on by the skin of it's teeth (civilian anyway) as it is and Love Island is the type of trash that viewers tend to hate these days. Just look at Stand By Your Man on Channel 5 - it ended up getting something like 200k by the end of it's run and that was on a main channel

Oh god, that awful show which replaced the 9 hours of live feed that we were promised for BB15.

Don't think I could get into two shows of the same genre, Life is more important plus BB is the original one

Doubt it, ITV never have live feed since the early series of IAC.

Just think the demand for a feed isn't as high as it used to be

I'm watching both, I loved LI, back in 2006. I remember it used to clash with BB7.

If I remember correctly, Love Island had about one hour of live feed nightly, on ITV2, when it aired back in 2006. It was on at midnight till one.

So pretty much more than we get for BB nowadays. Though, who knows if the new series will have any live feed.

We should get news if we do in the next few weeks

Applications for Love Island close next week, I believe.


I don't mind if Love Island doesn't have any live feed, as the time difference will mean it will probably air late.

And it's not essential to the format, same goes to IAC, unlike with BB, the whole point is to watch the housemates every move.

But, I wouldn't complain if we got some LI live feed, to make up for the lack of BB live feed.

Actually it would be funny if the Love Island live feed was on the same time as BOTS to teach Channel 5 a lesson.
