Love Island - Here's another -- can't believe I'm watching it --- show!

Anyone else watching this silly, train wreck of a show?  DH put this one on one day and I  said --- What?  This is ridiculous!  Now, we are both watching it because it is so fake and ridiculous! Do some young people really act like this --- or is this purely for t.v.???

Any how, we in the past watched Temptation Island, which we thought was along the same line.  This one, though, because of the virus, is situated atop one of the big hotels or casinos in Vegas.  A lot of makeup, hair extensions, fillers, implants, and PDA, but not much clothing!

My alternate name for the show is "Trailer Trash Island"

TV is so bad this summer that I actually started watching Love Island.  I laugh and shake my head most of the time.  It's so stupid and I might lose brain cells watching it.

Yes, I started watching it a few weeks ago. The show kept showing up on the "What's On Now" list so I tuned in and saw a bunch of hot bodies...lol!

Yep, I'm watching, too.  Nothing else is on.  Did you guys see that Moira's profession is a shopping channel model?

Yeah - wonder if it's a major one?  She is cute and built really nice.  But then again, they are all built really nice.  I guess you have to be to be on that show.

Boy, these people just jump from person to person.  Yuck!  Some of it is cringe-worthy!  I told DH, they should show clips of what the other ones are doing and show it to them like they did on Temptation Island.  That would really shake things up!!!! I get that most of them are really young so they don't really know what or who they want.  But one second--it's - oh, he or she is the one and then the next gorgeous girl or guy comes along and then it's --- who are you?  HA!

I like Moira more than I do the other women. 

I like that we get to see how the women look w/o all the makeup and the hair done. Moira seems to be the most 'natural' one of the bunch.

AngelPuppy, you are very brave to start this thread! I've been watching, I confess, and I'm glad to see I'm not alone. Like others, I started watching because there's not much on and the show trails Big Brother and other shows I watch. So I'd catch a few minutes here and there, now I'm hooked. 

 

I think it's one of the funniest shows this season! Every time MacKensie loses it I'm rolling on the floor. I love shows that are "personality" competitions and this is one of the best. They're all pretty young and they are SO serious about the house drama.

 

Now they have to "couple" or "uncouple" and it's like watching C-Span. Can't wait for tonite's unveiling.....tears for certain.

 

BTW, the announcer and the music choices crack me up, too. I think the announcer is Zingbot from Big Brother?
