Maybe you were trying to get to the island on purpose.
Maybe you washed up there by random chance.
And yet, somehow, leaving is hard.
The island pulls you in.
You may be stuck there for the duration.
Participants are not stuck for quite as long.
Eventually, the couple who makes it all the way to the end wins $100,000.
In fact, all the rules ofLove Islandare purposely vague.
They … work out.
This is not a euphemism.
The betrayals are low-key.
The participant who was kicked off in the first week did not seem upset.
The relationships currently forming seem mostly friendly, with very little sexual tension.
Every time a camera catches two people having a potentially fraught conversation, it mostly fizzles.
And meanwhile, the background scenery is almost perpetually full of contestants lifting weights.
Maybe its that none of them have yet been revealed as villains.
Its boring, sure, but also after the first week no one hates each other.
Thats a surprisingly rare commodity on love-based reality TV.
Are there more interesting things to watch?
Strangely enough, for right now, it is.
