Rosie's dress is lovely. A little more sophisticated than the normal Love Island fare.

As there's been some chat I'll ask outright LI is getting a bit stale how would you liven it up?

For me:

  1. show unseen bits content more in the normal show

  2. less obvious producer involvement

( less obvious ones now)

  1. Change the coupling at the start maybe have them spend a few days with each person before first coupling

  2. tasks not just focused on sex positions/ kissing

  3. maybe a version with people a little older.

  4. get rid of the hideaway it's dreadful.

  5. a more interesting place to live, I get that they want people in bikinis but if there's more activities there could be less manufactured chats.

  6. a longer Casa Amor/ bombshells take interested parties to another villa for a few days.

No forced chats or morning chats.
Actually seeing relationship progress on screen.
We never see past the small talk.
Variety of people including LGBTQ.
More adult content and less like teen TV.

No I love you/ will you be my girlfriend.
No movie night. No hideaway.

Zampa · 26/02/2023 21:11

That top really brings out the blue in Casey's eyes.

Lampzade · 26/02/2023 21:16

No bloody ‘poetry’

I said a couple of years back they need to have no 'couples' the first week then either have the public decide who's with who based on showing genuine interactions and less of the "where's your head at".

They need more fun. They need the smoking area back (though obviously that won't happen). I'm also sure in the earlier series there was less getting dressed up every night, so things seemed more casual and real.

Improve Islanders. Get rid of the wannabes.

Best series was 3 in my opinion with 2 a close second. They need to look what worked and bring it back.

Claudia is being a tad dramatic!

HundredMilesAnHour · 26/02/2023 21:24

I feel sorry for Claudia. She's obviously really into him (God knows why!) so must be hard to watch.

beastlyslumber · 26/02/2023 21:26

He's such a sleaze. She could do so much better.

Playing to the camera

CarpyDiem · 26/02/2023 21:28

Keanon seems rather nice.

Shame he's in a doomed position.

Zampa · 26/02/2023 21:31

When do you think the public will be trusted with a vote? It's been weeks!

Chasedbythechaser · 26/02/2023 21:31

Hello everyone! Just switched it on. Is it worth rewatching from the beginning? Anything happen tonight?

Seriously upset. But I wonder how much is ego.

Chasedbythechaser · 26/02/2023 21:37

I’d say ego. That’s what I meant.

Jellykat · 26/02/2023 21:37

Do they not understand they can actually snog each other whenever they want? They dont actually have to throw anything at anything..

Aquarius1234 · 26/02/2023 21:38

What a terrible episode. Fridays was shocking also.

Chasedbythechaser · 26/02/2023 21:38

Ugh fighting over Mr Sleazy.

Lilybetsey · 26/02/2023 21:38

Have a bit more self respect than going for the bloke who has just ditched you!

Jellykat · 26/02/2023 21:40

Keanan seems like a good guy!
C'mon Claudia open your eyes

Zampa · 26/02/2023 21:40

Keanan is so lovely. I hope he stays a bit longer.

Maybe I should go back and watch those?
