Love Island 2024 Thread 1: Are we really going to put ourselves through this again?

[sumnus]

Contestants were announced today for the new series starting on Monday 3rd.

I don't know if I can do it this year folks.

Oh fck it. I'm in.

Placemarking. I'm in.

I'm in too

Not long to go now. Is it 9pm tomorrow?

I really want to stop watching this. 😖 It's such a waste of time - and a waste of life watching it! (IMO.) Full of vacuous fame-hungry bores, and is the exactly same every single season. But DH is TV-obsessed, and it's his favourite 'hobby' watching TV! 🙄

He started watching Love Island when Big Brother finished (5 or 6 years ago when it was on Ch5,) as he wanted to fill the gap! So I try to ignore it - but I can't as I am in the same room, and he keeps bloody chitter-chattering all the way through it, (running commentary!) So I can't concentrate on anything else. So I end up being dragged in, and am then hooked by episode 3!

Even if I DID leave the room, and refuse to watch it, I would just get a rundown of it later, or the next morning! EVERY SINGLE DAY until it finished 2 months later!

So I guess I'm in!

😁😁

I think for me, it’s competing against the weather. If the weather continues to be grim, I’ll be watching!

Anyone watching tonight?

Me

Not very impressed so far

Oh god I prised myself away last year but I think i am in this year

Is this year sponsored by lip fillers?

They are awful. All these facial tweaks make everyone look about 40 imo, which is great if you’re 50 but not so much if you’re 23!

I like Mimi and the Welsh girl so far.

Ugh of course there has to be a footballer

Harriet is annoying me already

They all look so similar. Their skin is terrible, the tweakments make them look so much older.
Their waxing game is strong though.
The footballer’s hair is like that horrible flat acrylic carpet.

I've only just managed to get it to work. The ITVX app has been down. People are not happy on X.

Ditto.

I'm in 😬

Yeah I had trouble logging on too

Is that the result of a hair transplant do you think? Never seen a hair like that straight!!

Two no less!

The app wasn't working for me either, I've ended up using the Chromebook to watch.

Agree they all look so much older. The big hair and big lips and filler just make them all look like clones of eachother at the moment. Tomorrow's show will be more realistic when they haven't put so much make up on!

I'm not impressed with this bunch bar the two I previously mentioned. They all look so much older.

Wow that’s a lot to start with
