Love island

[not-bono-ever]

I am sitting here watching this with the kids. Maybe I have led a sheltered life but this is horrendous. The youth are loving it tho’

A past contestant was interviewed on the radio earlier - her response to the question “how do you stop your brain boiling around the other contestants” was - and I kid you not! “Oh, you just stay in the shade”

Yegods…!

 

[wtfftw]

I am looking forward to watching this.

A sad reflection on the human race. How stupid the population has become is astounding and sad.

Should be made on Gruinard Island.

They pick the most stupid for your entertainment, stupid

You know reality TV isn't about reality, right?

I was talking about the people that watch it, not the 'contestants'. I wouldn't watch that shite as a paid job.

I don’t think I could watch this after the three suicides associated with it. It’s just fucking grim exploitation.

Never watched this - it looks dire. As Edie said, the suicides cast a long shadow over it, and those sort of programmes seem exploitative by their nature.

Have people heard about the new Love Island guy with the "28" hand tattoo? I imagine there may well be some perfectly innocent explanation for it but who knows.

I've not read the link but Reddit tells me he's used the n word on socials. But in a friendly way. I don't understand why they've not removed him.

You'd think they'd vet contestants more thoroughly.
