Ive watched them all too. I cant rate the celeb one cause I dont think I was as fully invested in it.

For me its

Season 2
Season 3
Season 5
Season 1
Season 6
Season 4

Didnt like Jack and Dani at all in Season 4, she used to flinch when he touched her or would swerve him. Maybe it was just the cameras but it was a showmance to me and it ruined the whole season for me. All the other islanders treating them like a married couple. The other islanders were really good that year we had Wes, Megan and Georgia IM LOYAL Steele. Its a shame Jack & Dani ruined it for me.

Season 6 they were all just a bit too nice. All coupled up early and stayed together with the exception of Callum. Shannaise and her disney obsession. Just too PG, too nicey nicey and the first without Caroline :(

Season 2 is wild, they didnt go on it expecting it to be as big a hit. I think Season 1 did have viewers but Season 2 is what catapulted Love Island to what it is today. They had no inhibitions and just did what they wanted. Olivia having sex with Rikard even though they werent even coupled up and had shown no interest in each other. Emma full on riding Terry naked thinking theyd not show it on TV, Sophie and Tom having sex in the cupboard 😂 Kady screaming and shouting when Scott went on a date. I loved every minute of Season 2.

I think now the contestants know what works, far too concerned about having a career or living after the show. So its not as good. Theyre not as organic, already have large social media followings, so used to filtering themselves (not physically) but showing this fake life so can go in and do the same.

Will I still watch it until it stops being made. Probably but its definitely not as good anymore. Bring back the smoking area!!!

This is it exactly, they all know what will happen AFTER the show so they CBA about what we are watching, they want it to be over asap
 
Just having a rant,
I can't stand Twitter! Everything is about race on there to do with Love Island, I don't get anything else come up other than that. I can't look at it anymore! If you fancy blonde girls you are racist, if you fancy black girls you are pretending. If you have Toby's colouring, for example, you aren't black. If a black person doesn't go for another black person you're a traitor. Just pissing me off! Why is everything based off the colour of their skin and not who they are as people and you choose to like/dislike people on their words and actions not some weird world judgement. I want to go on there for the piss taking memes 😂, not to see blind judgement and whose black/white, not black/white.
Anyway that's off my chest now, I'll move on or delete the app.

What do you think of Rachel? I love her already honestly wish the contestants where all 25+

Except when she sounded snobby about food duck was that !

Rachel is gorgeous and the food chat actually made me like her more. It made me realise how rare it is on LI to hear someone talking about food like that.

Also, have any of you watched the various Shannon videos out there? One in particular made me lol as she washing/oiling her feet after a workout. Poor Jake doesn't know what he's missing :ROFLMAO:

Other than season 2, season 4 was my favourite. Surprised to see it bottom of your list. So many big characters that year.

Maybe Ive been harsh 😂 I disliked Jack and Dani that much. I reckon season 4 would have scored much higher for me, had they not been in it. They were just so boring and took up so much screen time.

There was a lot of good characters but when I look back its not a season that stands out for me.
 


OMG have you guys seen this?? Click on the account and look at the rest of the videos it seems this girl is actually in casa amor. Something is telling me the producers are doing this to create more interest in this dull season

you’ve got it bang on right!

also I kinda miss the smoking area, I understand that they can’t show them smoking on tv anymore but they always had such great conversations whilst they sparked up!
 
I was unsure of Faye to begin with, but the other night when she said she doesn’t mind a little chav trying it on with her, that killed me, I see her as very down to earth.
I agree with another poster 25+ would make for more meaningful relationships, but less likely to do ‘bits’ on tv!!

I swear everyone in season 2 was so loose 🤣 they weren’t thinking ‘let’s make sure I come out of this with a boohoo deal and a presenting opportunity on loose women’ or some tit, they were bitchy, funny, sexist! And it all made it the best series 🤣 it annoyed me how sexist it was tbh but it did make for amazing TV. They were all just themselves, they weren’t trying to be the next Kady or liv attwood or Nathan, they just were. You had miss gb banging on about being miss gb, Adam and his metaphors, Scott being sulky, Kady calling that blonde girl a c***, Sophie being her lovely self, malin and terry arguing over toasties, it was also the only year they got dogs in instead of having toy babies.

I feel like they don't show much anymore anyway. Or maybe the contestants aren't as frisky as they used to be?

I rewatched season one a little while ago and Jon and Hannah were at it constantly 😆 Like day and night. I was shocked how much we saw because I can't remember it being that low brow in the beginning 😂 Maybe I'm becoming a prude haha

Georgia ‘I’m loyal babe’ steel, sticks out the most for me, hilarious! But I agree with you tbh, Jack and Dani just didn’t seem sincere to me, I felt they tried to be Nathan and cara too much

Rant back

I hate when people live in their lala land that when people mention race they go "Everything is about race" sorry if black people discussing issues that have been a perpetual issue is "pissing [you] off"

You know what pissess me of

1. A white man like Chuggs preaching he wants a blonde, blue eyes girl and then saying Rachel is "fiesty" "intriguing" anything but pretty
2. Sending two black girls into a villa where men do not want black women
3. Having to see Rachel and Kaz ensure things I've discussed on this forum on national TV

But oh so, no, it pisses YOU off. Us blacks will stop talking then.

You ask -- "Why is everything based off the colour of their skin and not who they are as people and you choose to like/dislike people on their words and actions not some weird world judgement" -- I'm choosing to dislike Chuggs on his WORDS which are microagressions towards black people, I'm choosing to not like the male cast because their ACTIONS have shown aversion to BW

I'll have a word with black twitter and tell them you're pissed off, hopefully that ends race issues they feel and see projected in the villa.

Once you have deleted twitter, maybe book a D&I course instead. 🙄

Jeez

Unpopular opinion here but I actually don't mind Brad. I know his conversation skills are non-existent but I feel like he comes across as such a sweet little soul 🤣 And he's probably just shy/socially awkward which is why he tries to fill every silence with his inane chat.

I don't think either lads are genuinely interested in Rachel but Brad seems the lesser of two evils to me.

💯 agree!!!
