I too have enjoyed this series. It’s not the same, but then again it’s not meant to be. It’s in a different villa, at a different time of year with a different presenter. It’s a test to see if there was demand at this time of year, which there was. I do agree that this particular series is now tarnished due to the recent tragedy, but I don’t think it is going to affect any future series. However, I feel it is up to the crew and cast and their decision if they want to carry it on in the future and I totally accept if they feel they don’t want to carry on with it as the love island reboot was Caroline’s baby.
I feel love island itself has nothing to do with Caroline’s suicide. She has been on TV since the early 00’s and has been vilified by the media since then. It’s not since she started presenting love island. Just because it’s the most recent thing she did, does not make that the thing which caused her most upset. Listen to interviews she did over the years about the media and constant scrutiny she received for people she dated or life decisions made, like not being married and having babies by age 30.
anyway, I don’t want to detract from the love island thread Anymore so that’s all I have to say on that situation.
I am enjoying the series and thought the most recent episode of unseen bits (released on itv player) was a funny one.
