21 year olds being fit isn't a talent.

If they were 51 year olds and worked hard to retain youthful/fit bodies then some element of hard work and discipline is involved.

But young people blessed with good looks, or covered in makeup or popping steroids is not a talent. Neither is shagging on TV.

I mean, personally, I'm not bothered about the show being on air or otherwise. I've managed to go the entire duration of the show's run having only seen it once. But let's not pretend it's something other than what it is. Like BB was, just cheap, mindless crap to switch your brain off to.

Never watched one episode so no loss to me ~ i'd prefer it was never shown again.

I've never understood this stigma surrounding the show tbh.

The entertainment industry has been pushing ideal beauty standards for decades.

The truth is we live in a shallow society and sex sells. There's a reason why most films/tv shows have actors that are more attractive than your average person on the street so why is it controversial when Love Island doesn't feature fat munters?

People like to say it pushes the narrative that only attractive people can find love, when the shows track record is abysmal in terms of successful relationships

Thats twice now you have resorted to insults!!!! but carry on if it makes you feel good!!!!

Where did I say you couldn’t have an opinion? how valuable it is to anyone as a non viewer is debatable, I’m sure ITV would file in in the bin

Pretty much every Big Brother fan on this forum will have at some point in its heyday thought “why do people who don’t watch it care so much about it being on???”

The same applies here

For what it’s worth though I’m kinda glad it’s not going ahead, two series a year is overkill

Coming from the guy who continually mocks overweight people.

Why not? They are litterally isolated from society for the entire show.

If everydya people are not allowed to mix with others why should people chasing 5 mins of fame?

From a safety standpoint, they are just as safe as the rest of us. They are isolated.

Sorry but I've been doing rugby and going to the gym for years and that doesn't make me talented. Disciplined yes, but not from shaping a body. If anything, I work out regularly because I am disciplined, not the other way around. That's why people stick to it if they wish.
And btw, you can work out and not look like any of the cast members (Gods knows I don't and don't wish to). And "super fit" people can still be unhealthy also.

So no, it doesn't taken "talent" to lift weights.

It's not completely axed so don't get your hopes up.

I'm glad they cancelled the winter series. It wasn't needed at all after how ****e January's series was.
