Love Island (2019– )
4/10
Boring and mind numbing, but strangely addicting
16 August 2019
Let me preface this with I actually liked the first episode. It was interesting how everyone coupled up, but things got boring fast. None of the conversations had any real substance. I often wondered if it was editing or if they actually did talk over each other as much as it seemed. They are trying to express their thoughts and feelings to their partner and the person that should be listening is also talking! It made it frustrating and impossible to follow and what I did hear was B O R I N G. The reason I stuck with it is because I did feel a tiny bit invested in these couples, but like another reviewer pointed out this show was way to PG for me. Everyone was ridiculously nice. I don't want fake fights or drama, but they were so scared to step on toes. Have none of these people watched The Bachelor shows? I often wondered if it was scripted because everyone used the same vocabulary-referring to each other as boys and girls instead of men and women, asking each other to be boyfriend and girlfriend (smh again with the PG vibe or dare I even say G?). Speaking of vibe, everyone always asking each other if they are vibing with someone. Vibing was way overused. Even when Ariel came out supposedly looking feirce it was more comical than powerful. I hope the step it up for season two and more funny stuff please. Caro vs. the bee in her hair was the best thing that happened on the show. P.S. The hideaway was lame. It was small, horribly decorated for romance, and only two glasses of champagne!?
