I’m a sucker for a dating show, but tbh I have only played around with the shows that Netflix offers (ie Too Hot To Handle, Love is Blind, etc).
I CANNOT believe that I never experienced Love Island before, the stakes are REAL, the drama is REAL, the people are REAL. Everything feels so genuine, the people are annoying and over dramatic, yes, but that’s what MAKES the show.
It’s streaming on Peacock btw!

UK version is the best, but sometimes even the US can scratch the reality TV itch

i have been a long-time watcher of this ridiculous show, and LI UK combined with Ru Paul's Drag Race really helped me get through covid times in 2020/21 in general.
this summer, i have been watching the USA franchise on the urging of a friend. it's CRAZY and chaotic and entertaining, and for a while nothing seemed to be happening in the UK version in comparison. But i've come to realize the USA version genuinely stresses me out. i'm american, but i hate the way americans act and communicate as a generalized/homogeneous whole. i love the brits and their self-deprecating, cultural-specific gender expectations and slower mode of moving. it's still toxic ofc but i can distance myself from it and tell myself i will not encounter men like this because they have a way different accent (pleasant delusion!).....LI UK, you are my first true reality tv love, and i'm sorry i ever doubted you

I’ve been recently introduced to Love Island (Australia) and it’s like watching a timelapse of a world-ending super-virus growing in a Petri dish.
it’s addicting and dont tell anyone
