Love Island

“i don’t watch much reality tv but every summer i binge this. UK !!! but also US (as of more recent seasons)”

“not a show, a lifestyle. the us version, classically, has missed the point by making the show TOO entertaining. i am not interested in spicy challenges, or dramatic games, or celebrity visits. i watch love island for the same reason i watch fish swim around in a tank; because it relaxes me to see beautiful imprisoned creatures live out a sisyphean nightmare. it's not summer until i'm parked in the air conditioning watching stonefaced while 15 bikini-clad children move between the same 5 sets and have the same conversation 500 time and stare off into space and sometimes kiss. love island uk for life”

“It’s gonna be a long, hot, summer.”

“It just isn’t summer without watching 6 million hours (approx) of a bunch of proper fit british 20 year olds pulling each other for a ‘chat’ and ‘putting in the graft’ while laying by the pool.”
