Why I Hate Love Island

So rewind to two years ago and I loved it but this year the shows rolled around and I hate it. Normally I’d watch bits just so I could keep up with what’s happening and stuff but this year I couldn’t really care what was going on. I think the show has got really superficial and I think it’s just bad for some people mentality.


All the islanders face intense backlash whilst their in the villa and sometimes it gets every worse when they’re out. I was kind of hoping they would end the show after Sophie from season 2 and mike from season 3 took their lives. Whilst on the show, Sophie was the first islander to couple with a girl and for this she was ripped apart by the media, meanwhile mike was never know as just mike, he had the muggy label slapped on him and that’s how he was referred to for the whole show and outside of the villa.

I just think the show has 0 diversity and only ever brings in around 3/4 people of colour and the men or women are never plus size because producers said “they need at least give them a chance at finding love”


It had such a young audience too that I never feel like it presents a good message to them either. It’s rare that some of the couples stay together too so I don’t really even understand the whole point of the show. I think It’s outdated and something that itv definitely need to cancel.
