I haven't watched an episode since I caught the end of Zoe and Jordan going, again I saw the end and jeez this show is seriously abysmal and I usually love trash.

If it gets a 2nd series it seriously needs an overhaul, there are so many undeserving couples left and big characters going every week or not being given a chance because the oldies stuck together.

Naomi going was the stupidest decision when she added so much compared to all the girls really, apart from Jess and maybe Hannah to a lesser extent.

I hope it's recommissioned but I'm not so sure that it will based on the figures, maybe the levels of Twitter traffic will play a role in the decision though.

It needs an overhaul and it basically needs to be more consistent. This series was great in the first half and as much as I have enjoyed the last couple of weeks, it has definitely gone downhill and wasn't as good as the start. And as far as I'm concerned, it's primarily because of the public vote. I predicted they'd ruin things as per usual and to be quite honest they did. First Omar and then Naomi...disastrous, especially the latter whose lack of presence has been extremely noticeable over the last few days. Even not giving people like Chris 2.0 or the shouty girl whose name I can't remember (Becky? idk) a chance, and there's someone else I'm missing as well. The results have been so bizarre for the most part and not all that great. The fact that Luis and ****ing Cally survived a vote to save is reason enough to scrap it.

The show was at its best in the early weeks with the idea behind the recoupling and having to be in a couple to stay in the game, because that's what it made it - a game. The decision between whether to couple up with someone you don't really like to try and survive as long as you can to win the money, or to go with someone you genuinely like but risk leaving earlier. The idea that people could be playing each other for money on a show like this is far more interesting and exciting and is something that was lost in the last few weeks.

Bring it back, make the recoupling a consistent part of the game and the way eliminations work for the most part and then maybe just let the public decide who wins and that's it, but tbqh I'd be up for a jury vote amongst the eliminated contestants myself.

I agree. It has gone downhill since Naomi left. I haven't even watched the last five episodes as I've found it boring. Hence, why I haven't commented on this thread in a week. I'll tune in for the final, tomorrow though.

Jess and Max are also my winning couple. I hate to use the word, but Jess really has been through a journey, and went from hated to loved. Great redemption arc if she wins.

Hope Jon and Hannah don't win. They've had it so easy from Day dot. And haven't been through as much as all the other Islanders have. Them winning would be a predictable and disappointing end to a good series. Luis and Cally are dull. I like Lauren, but her and Josh are not really a couple, and I don't want Josh to win. So Max and Jess it is.

Either way, it's been a fantastic series to watch. Not as a good as the original show back in 2005/2006. But they've really surprised me with the revamp, as I wasn't expecting to enjoy it. But it's been a fun watch over the last 6 weeks, especially considering I gave up on BB weeks ago. It's also gone quick too.

Hope it returns next year for another series. I mean it is ITV2's highest rated show. So who knows?

I agree with Jack again, (we're on a roll here).

If it does come back for a 2nd series, it needs to be more consistent. This series has had far too many newbies. And half of them were irrelevant. Like Chris 2.0, Beth, Ben, Poppy, and Travis.

They should've stopped with the newbies after Max went in, TBH. Also, the evictions and format are not consistent like how they were in the original show ten years ago. One week, the Islanders would decide who leaves, the next the public decide, and vice versa. Not to mention the number of evictees per week. One week, 2 people are evicted, the next, 5 people are evicted.

The format needs to be more consistent, as it's been messy and looks like they make it up as they go along.

I actually really liked the past week. The challenges are ridiculous and we know their personalities well now so it digs deeper. I also loved the parent visits...but ill admit that was mostly because all the parents said that jess was great and Naomi was a twat.

Baby task was hilarious. Josh is such a brat!he spent the whole day in bed whinging and ruined Lauren ' s bday tbh..jess and max are cute despite his skeeziness earlier in the season

widerlet · 15-07-2015, 09:09 AM

Also I was wondering where everyone disappeared

this is the only forum I've found to discuss love island. Glad everyone is back

Jack_ · 15-07-2015, 08:29 PM

Was surprised to see they're live from inside the villa tonight but it looks amazing actually! Really jealous of the audience members who get to mill around it, must be really surreal and cool

loooooool @ Caroline just shouting 'HERPES!!!!' at Omar as they went to a break then

also YAS at Iain supporting Jess and Max (and I'm pretty sure Caroline is too) <3

I've cast two votes on the app but sadly I think after this proposal it puts Jon and Hannah's win beyond any doubt

Calderyon · 15-07-2015, 08:31 PM

John and Hannah will win, but then again they have been the winners for 5 and a half weeks or so.

It been better than BB16 and has a much better future i would believe than BB tbh. But then again it´s a fresh program while BB is old and badly produced.
