Anyone else watching?

I watched this last time and felt it was handled quite sensitively . I feel it’s a shame that the therapists aren’t a bit younger though maybe so they can relate to the participants a bit more? They’re all in their 20’s. However the therapists do work hard to make them feel trusted and safe.

I enjoyed the last series too. I would hate to take part in the exercises.

I watched the last series too. I don't really know what I expected but I was surprised how sensitive it was and how they learnt so much about themselves. I did notice in the last series that the narrator (I think it's Lucy Beaumont) was struggling not to laugh during her commentary!
The activities feel so exposing. I wouldn't be able to do them even though I'm not eligible for Virgin Island. I think the guy who won the last series said his mum watched it - that would be horrible!

I thought it was well done & the individuals in this series all seem nice. Hope it helps them.

Bump

purpleme12 · 29/04/2026 22:52

They all seem a bit more confident in themselves than the last lot from what I remember

I’m watching- I love it.

purpleme12 · 04/05/2026 22:05

Katie and Callum fancy each other then

Timetakesacigarette · 04/05/2026 22:25

Yes, it’s quite sweet. Hopefully they start a natural relationship/friendship.

I'm watching on +1.

If they strike up a relationship, would they be allowed to do the deed without intervention from the therapists or would they have to do it after the series has finished?

I guess as long as they both consent they can't actually stop them but I just wonder how it would be perceived.

Not a fan of this episode

Timetakesacigarette · 11/05/2026 21:51

Not keen on this long haired therapist. She’s quite sharp and directive. I think the dominatrix bit is a bit too much.

purpleme12 · 11/05/2026 21:52

Me too

rwalker · 11/05/2026 21:55

don't like it the therapist are old enough to be there mother which find a bit creepy with the physical stuff
obviously fine with talking side of things

Hogwartsian · 11/05/2026 21:56

He smelt his finger 🤣🤣🤣

purpleme12 · 11/05/2026 22:02

I just still find it hard to think why they'd do all this on Tele though!

Timetakesacigarette · 12/05/2026 13:43

Well they may regret it when they’re older but it’s good to see sex education being taught. It might help other young adults.

purpleme12 · 12/05/2026 22:51

So Joy and Alex are actually getting it together now

But why the fuck would you pretend to spit on someone?!?

purpleme12 · 12/05/2026 23:38

Still not a fan of the BDSM/kinky things they've added in this series

I agree. It all seems rather hard core when they're trying to get virgins relax and to be comfortable with their first sexual encounter. It's like teaching Reception children to read with a copy of Beowulf!

So erm a fair few have lost their virginity then

I was a bit surprised to hear the sounds while they were doing it!

purpleme12 · 21/05/2026 23:27

Quite touching at the end even

HalzTangz · 21/05/2026 23:32

I love this program

purpleme12 · 21/05/2026 23:33

They're obviously thinking about making another one so it must get enough viewers

Yes, they had details at the end of the programme for anyone who wants to apply for the next series.
