Love Island 7 - in with the old, out with the new…

[AngeloMysterioso]

AND HUGO IS STILL BLOODY HERE

Are only hope for more 30 + reality shows would be if channel 4 make a new reality tv show like big brother lol

They should absolutely have a min age of 25, then ages up to say 40/45 but a real mixture.

Yeah. Look what happened to The Circle.

The boys I. There are def too young. There is no way in real life people like Chloe, Faye and Millie would entertain ‘boys’ up to 5 years younger than them. As you get older age gaps like that matter less but at their age there is a world of difference between 21 and 26

I liked when the three recent newbies went in and they had the ‘what’s your type’ chat as a group thing, so we didn’t have to watch the same boring convo over and over again. Thought that worked well

@Bluntness100

Wonder why first look is getting so late now.

I do think they should do love island with an older demographic, thirties, forties, fifties, I reckon it would get a shit lot of viewers. They seem too focused on the youth demographic, with the contestants, adverts etc, where as they could defo widen that audience hugely.

Agree with this Celebrity Big Brother was always great tv because they had older housemates. Big Brother started to go downhill when they tried to attract a younger demographic who were usually social media influencers ,’models’

I don’t think they would do 25- 45 that’s quite a big age gap!

I know that young people watch it but I really wouldn't be surprised if the demographic was more 'people in their 30s with small children' because 1) we rarely leave the house in the evening and 2) can't concentrate on anything more high brow!*

I realise this is not everyone! But seriously some nights I'm so knackered I can only just about follow LI

Agree that it’s all got very stale now and even Casa Amor which traditionally used to cause a bit of a stir is likely to be a bit damp as the only 2 strong couples in there won’t do the dirty on each other (either because they want to win or because they do have feelings for each other) Toby wouldn’t dare do another girl over, nobody would care if Abi got with anyone else as nobody is interested in her particularly, Hugo and Chloe aren’t a couple so no drama if either of them has a flirtation with anyone, basically a bit pointless. I’ve said it a million times but the older series’s were so much better, where the conversations were less stage managed and they acted more naturally as in if they smoked, they showed it rather than refusing to show anyone smoking, refusing to show anyone do more than have a smooch whether it’s happening or not, I also really dislike how they blatantly get told to overuse certain phrases such as “graft” etc, they are from all over the country so I refuse to believe they all use the exact same slang.

I agree

@TellingBone

Yeah. Look what happened to The Circle.

What’s happened to The Circle?

@ILoveYou3000

There are so many ways it could be improved. No coupling you for the first week, newbies in for a minimum of 3 days before they're booted and every newbie coming in gets to speed date or the public choose them 3 dates, newbies always get first pick at recouplings, and those not chosen have to leave.

No bed sharing until you're an official couple, split the villa into a boys room, girls room, couples room.

Casa Amor could be different, make the couples choose before they even go in, either split and Casa Amor and they can't recouple again during their time in there or go home if they've found 'love'. No one will coast then with someone they don't really like.

There's so much they could do to spice it up and make it fresher instead of same tired old challenges and couplings every other day.

Also ban 'where's your head at?' and 'what's your type?' Allow real conversations and bring back smoking area and a reasonable amount of booze.

Good ideas Love Island producers take note

I think it would be good to see more organic conversation and "unseen" type content. Not sure why they don't see that.

The Circle's been cancelled

Well, cards on the table here.. I went out with a guy who was 21 when I was 24. He was so immature and my parents thought I was stupid.
I also dated a guy of 23 when I was 46. Amazing chemistry and loads on common including Politics.
I was inundated on dating apps by lads half my age. True, some were boys and out of their depth. But surely it makes for more balanced viewing. Viewers must surely range from 14 to 64?
Sooo perhaps they should take a look at Tinder and see how that demographic works.

New thread needed

Millie looks like she's unconscious in Liam's arms.

Can you imagine how miserable it is in there when the weather is poor?! Especially this bunch.

The guys in the background then 😂

So who do we reckons gonna do a bunk? apart from Toby of course!

Identical to every year.

The acting and script.

Jake … well I think he’ll have no issues getting to know someone else and hoping the Lads cover for him

The guys are way too excited about this 👀

Am assuming the girls don't get sent to casa amor as they have too much shite to put in with them.

Christ. How to make women look thick and vulnerable 😞

@Ughmaybenot

The guys are way too excited about this 👀

Yup. And "I've never been on a lads holiday before". IT's not quite a lads holiday is it now...
