Justice for the curvy chicks.

It's shallow nonsense,no depth and lacks the sort of gritty storylines BB has, is full of stereotypical mactors that don't have any special qualities about them.

The nation must be bored of other programmes on at the moment for this to be ratings gold.

Most of reality tv is shallow, whats the difference between Love island and Geordie Shore or ex on the beach?

Not everything has to be deep sometimes people just wanna watch something cheesy and lighthearted and thats what Love Island has brought to the table. Clearly in these trying times its just what the public needed.

I just find it funny that people are taking a moral high ground on taste and intellect on a big brother forum. The criticism love island is getting in here is alarmingly similar to what big brother was getting in its heyday

It's just unnatural. I'd MUCH rather see one or a few showmances on a show like Big Brother mixed in with a bunch of other stuff in the storyline than just a complete (and totally fake & vapid) lovefest. And it's literally a schoolyard draft to decide couples

I honestly don't blame people for liking it as I can see it being like a cheap way for a bit of entertainment but not for me.

Short answer: It was boring in the little bit I watched but maybe it's better if/when there's arguments & blowups for some cheap entertainment.

(I don't even know exactly what I mean by "cheap" entertainment but it feels right)

LI shaken by Natalie and Jayne's feud?

Was just channel flicking and stopped on itv2 as some bitch is sat there saying “wales is a city... like a continent”

The thing about it being 'inane' that I don't get is that...BB simply isn't a televisual beacon of intellectual content?
