Tyla/Simon and Dom/Montana will be B2 if it's a B2 and Jonny/Camilla will be thrown in there too if it's B3.

Prediction: Tyla and Dom/Jonny get the boot, oop!

[Daniel-X]

I s2g if we lose Montana though just cancel the show.

Is anyone else finding this series boring?

Like Week 1 was slow but then it picked up in Week 2 and now it's back to being kinda dull again.

It's going to be dead in water if Tyla goes tonight.

So random question that I feel like interjecting here -- how does this show actually work? Like, I probably will never watch a minute of Love Island bc I imagine its episodes are kinda difficult to find and being a British TV show there are probably a **** ton of episodes, but what's the format and how does it work? I know Wikipedia says there are winners and losers and **** but how does that all get figured out? And what makes it different from Ex on the Beach (another show that I have absolutely zero plans of watching, but I was recently informed that it is more or less "a horror movie about gonorrhea")?

Basically singles on an island have to couple up. Viewers usually vote for their favourite couple/least favourite couple that they want to eliminate but some eliminations are decided by 'recouplings' where the islanders may change who they are coupled up if they wish (if there's an odd number of islanders at that point the person leftover will go home) and some people can get eliminated when the islanders have to vote on a couple to leave or maybe just one half of the couple to go home. On the final (usually the final 3 or 4 couples), the viewers vote for their winning couple who win 50k. At the end, the winning couple have to chose whether they're going to 'Split' the 50k between each other or 'Steal' the 50k for themselves and the other one gets nothing. Some game playing goes on because some people manipulate others to get into a couple with them even if they have no desire to pursue it just to stay on the island.

It's basically what BBUK was/Survivor US was in the early 00s. It's a phenomenon in the UK at the moment.

They are there to ~find love~ (but most are there for the fame because near enough 75% of the cast end up celebrities in the UK)

[Jason.]

It's also worth noting that this is more BB than BBUK has been since BB13

[Headie]

Alol I'm screaming @ the idea of Macie watching Love Island <333

[Cal.]

And lol Ex on the Beach isn't a competition show at all. Basically every series starts with 8 singles and from those 8 singles you end up with a complicated incestuous cast of like 30 people by the end because their exes keep showing up on the beach and then those exes have exes etc. There's about 3 eliminations a series (usually the producers will contact the cast via an iPad and tell them to pick someone to leave because the villa is getting too full) and the rest just leave the villa in the final episode with nothing gained or lost.

oops does it not seem like ~my~ type of show? I doubt I'd watch just bc I imagine there's like 40 episodes a series and there are no commercials so each episode is 75 minutes or something outrageous like that.

alol I think this fun fact is actually what got me so intrigued by Love Island. When BB becomes so stale that an aftershow beats it in the ratings

Each episode is about 45 minutes (this last week they've added an extra twenty minutes so including adverts about an hour)

And yeah there's around 35 episodes a series. Don't bother with S1 but you'd love S2.

The Bethany Rogers Experience in S1 cannot be ignored!

There are adverts. They've started extending the evening shows to 80 minutes though because it's doing so well in ratings.

For Macie's information, Naomi Ball and Zara Holland are the previous series winners and better than any BBUK winners

[Daniel-X]

Jonny is such a scumbag, get him out

[Cal.]

Bethany Rogers showing up, shouting at everyone and getting eliminated a week later having never coupled up with anyone
