The All Stars are all former contestants and here in a remote villa to find love. Typically Love Island contestants haven't known each other before entering so there are games and tests to get them to know each other. This time there are lots of issues where the contestants do know each other. However this has backfired as it simply makes this unwatchable. Games are rare and all that is left are lots of sad and uncomfortable situations with a few arguments from engineered situations that the producers create. Anyone viewing this for even the shortest of moments will realise that these are puppets who are being manipulated with very little chance of building a real relationship. The villa technically is a prison, the conversation has to remain away from real things, only gossip seems to be allowed and each time someone might be forming a strong bond the production team steps in to try and destroy it. Added to this some of those in the villa simply can't do relationships. This inevitably leads to a social media outcry and backlash. A final tragedy is that the viewers are given the chance to vote and leaves to even more painful situations where exes are coupled together or couples voted off. Overall it becomes very sad and almost cruel to watch.
