Love Island has become a British summer staple. We love Pimms, we love beer gardens, and we love watching a bunch of singles smash in a villa in Spain. I don’t know if the makers of ITV pulled it out of the bag this year or my expectations were simply the lowest, but it was a strong start to life in the villa.
The huge improvement in the quality of the show can be attributed to ITV finally stepping up and making some much-needed changes in terms of care to the show. After three deaths related to the series, as well as stories by former islanders about mental health issues and abuse on social media, the network stepped in and introduced language training. language about disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and violations.

The network has dealt with thousands of complaints about coercive behavior by boys in the mansion during the 2022 series and has now introduced training and guidance on respectful behavior, controlling behavior and coercion. .
So it feels like we’re introduced to the cutest, most respectful bunch of guys the show has ever seen, who so far respect a bunch of fun, confident girls ( and vice versa).

The islanders’ social media accounts were inactive while filming the movie so their family and friends wouldn’t have to face abuse and death threats from all the trolls who had to realize that it’s not really that profound.

So with our new rules firmly in place, where will we stand with the villa islanders for 72 hours? Catherine loves life with two hot guys following her closely, while Molly and Mitchel instantly become a couple (to Mitchel’s delight and Molly’s dismay), and we’re also introduced to the character. sensational early favorite, Whitney. We also have a lovely new “I don’t want” quote that you can wear in a Primark t-shirt!

These contestants really have a good – dare to say – joke?! Twitter fans seem to agree, with one posting: “Love this cast. Thank you for finally casting the RIGHT people.” Another added: “There’s something wrong with why this is the first OG actor that I really like everyone.” The third added: “The level of sexual tension between the actors is insane, I’m shocked that this is only the beginning. This season is amazing.”

The most important thing for organizing this show right now is Twitter and the sense of community we have for it. Following him without a social media platform would be like Ant without Dec, Tom without Jerry, Ekin without Su. After missing an episode and watching it catch-up, I’m much more tired of not going on social media during commercials for comedy scenes.

Is the program starting to feel tired? Maybe. It will be interesting to hear countless TikTok interviews with former islanders explaining the “secrets” of the mansions, such as how scary the challenges are or how to make pornographic montages. The dance was awkward and performed in silence or the way they filmed everything until the early morning was frantic and had no concept of time. But like a turkey at Christmas or getting a MOT, Love Island is an annual British tradition that must be respected, whether we like it or not.
