[BB-Germany]

I know it's off topic but I've seen so many comments on Love Island these past few weeks that I had to take a look at it. I've watched the first 10 episodes so I really tried getting to know how it works and what the show is about.
Some people say it is better than BB now, has better housemates, a better production and is more entertaining.

And I can just say, I don't get its success. It's OK and somehow entertaining when it starts but I was getting bored after 4 days already and it's not getting better.
The contestants are a joke. The fact that people call this cast better than any BB cast is beyond me. They are all likeable, but not very entertaining or have exciting personalities. If BB's cast gets branded for being one dimensional, this is 100x worse. People complain about typecast and housemates that previously know each other. Guess, what there are at least 4 people on Love island who have some kind of connection

The production is good though, the camera work mainly. The games look a bit more expensive than BB tasks nowadays but in the end they are just party games.

The VTs look exactly like BB's.

Apart from that, it's a mixture of BB, the Bachelor and any MTV-reality show that I used to watch 15 years ago.
It's basically a BB-clone on an island purely concentrating on showmances.
Fair enough if people like it and watch it but please don't make it out to be something classy and innovative. BB18 has been far more entertaining than this imho.
