I never used to watch it under the illusion it wouldn't interest me. The concept of a showmance (bar a select few) having 2 minutes of screentime on BB scared me, so why would I be interested in a TV show about romances/showmances?
I only really started hearing about Love Island last year, but with exams (and the fact I was already watching soaps and BBUK), I didnt really have the time to spend an hour a night trying something I dont enjoy when I could've been studying, and I simply can't binge reality TV, so catching up after my exams wasn't an option That said, with no exams or BBUK right now, I decided to try Love Island this year. And while part of me prefers BBUK (mainly for how more frequent tasks can be) I do find myself getting invested in Love Island. So TL;DR I was too busy to see if my presumptions about the show were correct until this year Last edited by Ant.; 16-06-2018 at 10:30 AM. |

Showmances are my least favourite aspect of BB so why would i watch a show entirely dedicated to showmances

Cast isn’t at all diverse. And if you’re gonna have ten very similar personalities in a room, it better be a interesting personality. And it is not.

I gave it a go this year anf it’s addictive but not as good as people make out and bar Eyal and Alex the guys have the same personalities.
I wouldn’t recommend! Last edited by Daniel.; 16-06-2018 at 11:04 AM. |

I caught up on the first couple of episodes, as I've never seen it before and wanted to see what all the fuss was about... it didn't interest me in the slightest.

I didn't watch it before because I thought it would be boring and the cast was too samey and straight. But I watched some of it last year and it wasn't that bad, ive got lowkey addicted to it this year but I would like them to have a more diverse cast in future including some gays, it's shocking that they don't in this day and age. (And don't come at me like "the format doesn't work like that" I don't care, change the format then)

Most of the Islanders are only looking for a free vacation, plus the casts aren’t diverse and if you don’t have a good body, then you are not in...
Which makes it trash. |

I just despise it, it’s a vapid hollow excuse of a TV show, it puts all these complete nobodies on pedestals that young people around the country look up to and aspire to be like, thinking as long as they’re good looking they can make it in life people come out of this show, thick as pig **** with no talent at all and they’re set for life. And ontop of that it perpetuates the idea that only body types like that are attractive. It’s basically IG if it was a tv show. It’s awful

I watch the odd episode just so that I can slag it off. That makes me happy.

Who, Douglas?

People take hating it too seriously. It's not some political show, get over it - it's light entertainment and harmless.

Haven't watched a single episode but just from reading and seeing the pictures I know it's not my cup of tea.
Full length superficial showmances with a Barbie and Ken clones - it's like encapsulating everything that I don't like in BB. It sounds like it's well edited and produced better, but still the content is not thing. Plus, there are better shows that I'd rather watch.

I honestly couldn't think of anything more mind numbingly boring to watch than a group of shallow, vapid morons who have nothing of interest to say or add to the world other than their appearance trying to cop off with each other for a bit of fame.

A lot of people are embarrassed to say they watch it as it is a show that people take the pee out of,a bit like BB in the latter years, I have never watched it but thought I would give it a go this year,must say I don't get the hype,it's ok but not brilliant TV,very shallow and vacuous really.Might be better if the contestants were more varied in ages,colours and sizes.

Because whatever clips of it I've seen have just been celebrating and guffawing at dumb quotes and vapid statements. I thought we moved past that when Brian Belo won, but I guess it's why Celebrity Juice is still on air. The bar for "dumbness" is forever being lowered.

I never thought I’d be interested, but then I was hearing about the drama so I am interested, but now there’s too many episodes to catch up on.
