Also, don't get me started on how blatantly fake and scripted it is. At least Big Brother/Celebrity Big Brother didn't re-shoot scenes, have chefs going in to cook dinner for the contestants or allow the contestants to spend a day at the beach!

I tried to watch one episode (either last year or the year before, I can't remember) just to see what all the hype was all about, but I switched off after 10 minutes because I thought that it was a load of pathetic, mind-numbing garbage. The media attention it gets these days is even worse because I'm hearing about it literally every sodding day now. Not only is it unbearable, but it also makes me want Big Brother to return even more now.

The only thing entertaining about Love Island is Piers Morgan ranting about the show and mocking the islanders on Good Morning Britain.
