So am watching Petfect Match on NF! 5 couples and lots of silly Compatibility challenges to win dates and days out. Lots of partner swapping and new people coming in.
It’s kinda fun to watch.

LI needs some more of the challenges. Not just dares by the fire pit!

Exactly they really need to spice it up and change it up... Games, tasks, missions, anything, it's so bloody relentless the same old staged PuLl yOu FoR a ChAt bollocks🙄
Would have been way better and more fun if the other night when Uma came in, all the girls had done it as a kissing challenge first before the new girl came in FFS these producers are honestly SHITE MAN!!!!😭. SACK THE LOT OF THEM AND BRING BACK THE SERIES 2 LEGENDS/MASTERS OF MAYHEM!!!😂 (Cus I swear they can't be the same people, there ain't no wayyy!!!)

Yes agreed - I think a lot of people would struggle with the boring material that he has to work with. And the culture has changed as the programme has got more popular so things he would have said 8-10 years ago, he's possibly not allowed. It's very much more watered down now. I zone out of what Iain is saying now.
Time to switch up and change the narrator - maybe give it to Rob Beckett.

I love Rob but honestly I think anyone would struggle with this gig. Unless they take it back to basics, more like it was, more authentic and natural and less staged and curated, then really it's a pointless post and they could cut costs by not even having a narrator?! Ditch Maya while they're at it and put those savings they'd make into tasks and challenges woop!😂

Ugh god not Rob.
There are people on this damn website funnier than most “comedians”.
This should be the last series of the show tbh like call it a day ITV

Every year the public rant and rave about wanting regular people with regular jobs in the villa and every year the producers ignore and just get the same vapid people in there. Its so boring. At this point they need to sack the show off, and bring it back in like 5 years with a fresh format/ hosts

But as someone has said on here, regular people with regular jobs cannot afford to lose those jobs. Like there’s no way Omar can go back to being a PE teacher now and Mimii probably won’t be able to carry on being a nurse despite only just finishing her training. The only people who want to be on LI are wannabe influencers or reality tv stars. Or those who have a privileged background. Agree though they need to just sack the show off and tbh it doesn’t need to be brought back. The ratings for the first ep this year are the highest in a few years. ITV just bank on knowing that people are still going to watch

True! I also think the producers cba with actually sifting through 1000's genuine applications and its easier to just line people up that are scouted through social media etc.
 
As a L.I. die hard I've given up on it a few times now (since 2021) as it's got so fecking stale...
I literally threw the towel in on launch night this series for the first time; by the time they got to the 3rd clone plastic wannabe knob'ed I just couldn't do it!!!😫🫠 ...and only got sucked back in cos of seeing there was actually something happening for once... But yeh it's bloody tired now. It's overdone and over manufactured and has lost its joy and charm a long time ago.
Definitely had its heyday.

Quite a few are scouted in person too, they go to places like Box Park in London (I can’t remember which former cast member said that)

Harriet with her bloody finger nail in her mouth does my head in!

I don’t know why Jess is so annoyed…oh hang on, yes I do. She just doesn’t want to be single and in danger of going home!

Ronnie is a dick.
His speech was awful.

Not only that, but the way he treated her on the day bed when she tried to talk about the speech was disgusting. I'd be annoyed too.
