Help! I'm addicted to Love Island!

Love Island is a British love reality show that airs on ITV2. This show takes 12 single participants and sends them to a villa where they spent 8 weeks; to see "sparks fly" when they couple up with each other. 

Then there's this thing called recoupling... this is where they have the option to couple up with someone else or stay with their current partner. But here is the twist... NEW PEOPLE are sometimes added to the game. This sometimes leads to heartbreaks and people getting dramatic as hell. Lol! 

There's also challenges and news that are announced when the islanders get text  they have to say they "got a text" and read it outloud. 


And of course like many games people get eliminated which is unfortunate because at the end of the season which ever couple is left standing will win £50,000 which according to Google is $65,000. The host has 2 envelopes and the winning couple each choose one envelope. One envelope has £0 and the other has £50,000. The person who chooses the envelope with £50,000 gets to choose if they keep all the money or share it.



Ok so now that we're familiar with what Love Island is let's move on...

I became familiar with this shows name due to British youtubers talking about this show a lot... and I mean A LOT. So, one night I was watching youtube videos when I look on my reccomend tab and see a video called Love Island 2018 first coupling.


I saw the name and was like "hummm Love Island, I know this name... let's see what the hype about this show is" so I clicked on the video and little did I know I was hooked!!

That night I kid you not I went to sleep like at 2AM catching up on episides. Since this is a British tv show and I live in America, I couldn't see the whole show I just saw clips.

(According to some people; full episodes are available on Hulu but ya girl don't got money for Hulu)


Then when I thought my addiction couldn't get any worse, youtuber Joe Sugg was uploading videos to his gaming channel about the Love Island game. I was like "this is such an interesting game" and because he wasn't uploading long episodes I was like I NEED to find out what happens next. So, I raced to the Google Play store to see if it was there and unfortunately the app wasn't there *sad face*

Then on July 8th everything changed and I was able to download the game. 

Notice the time? You better
believe that I was watching love island
clips before I found the game 

Then I became addicted to that too but that a whole other story.



Then on July 20 aka the BEST DAY EVER not only did one of my favorite youtubers liked one of my tweet, but I found an app that allows me to watch Love Island here in America. I was so happy I nearly cried. So that day I watched my very first full episode of Love Island. 



The app I used is called "TVCatchUp" it looks like this 
This app has a bunch of British tv stations you can watch live, which is so cool! #NotSpon but I wish it was lol.




My favorite female in the start was Samira. She was my favorite because she was so awkward and didn't know how to flirt with the guys. She reminded me of myself so I guess this is why I loved her from the start. 

Later on she had to go home cause she fell in love with one of the new islanders (his name was Frankie) and since he went home she figured there was no point in her staying. 






My favorite male in the start was Alex he was so nice and respectful of all the women there it was nice seeing that. At first he was pulling the sympathy card and making everyone (viewers and islanders) feel sad that he couldn't find someone. He would say things like "I really want to find someone here" "I want a girl to come in here and like me for me not because I'm the only single one here." 

So, FINALLY here comes a girl named Alexandra.  She directly comes into the villa saying she fancies Alex. That he's "so fit." They then couple up. And as a viewer I was like "Awww finally." Then Alex unfortunately started to act like a total ass. 

Later on in the show, new people are added and Alex thought it would be a good idea to tell Alexandra that he isn't ready to be exclusive. Why? Because he wanted to get with a the new islander (her name was Laura). 

It really made me mad when Alex wanted to leave Alexandra for new Laura. Like is he blind? 

When they did the "lie detector" (notice how I put it in quotes cause I know it's absolutely fake as hell) Alex's answers to the questions Alexandra had made me so angry. Like the one where she asked if something about how if he thinks Alexandra's feelings toward him are genuine. The way he answered pissed me off so much like it's clear as day that she likes him like WTF??

After the July 26th episode, I'm so fucking angry. Ok so, Alex has been dragging Alexandra along for so many week giving her false hope and making her think he loves her. Guess what happens? He broke up with her and told her he doesn't love her. Like why WHY would you drag someone along making them think you like them. He not only waisted her time, his time, but everyone else as well. And the bitch had the NERVE to dump her right after they've been on a romantic date. He is officially CANCELLED in my book. 

When Alexandra told him he's pathetic for wasting her time (when he broke up with her) I got up my seat and clapped! I'm just really upset how Alex dragged her along making her think he loved her. 

You guys should've seen how when she was talking about him to the other girls she would talk about him with so much love in her voice and the way he talked about her with the other guys was so "cold."

I hope Alexandra can find someone who actually loves her. She's such a Queen. 






One of my other favorite females is Dani. She's so genuine and funny. She is the daughter to English actor Danny Dyer. In the villa she & her partner Jack (who is now my favorite male) are always looking out for everyone that the other islanders were calling them "parents"


Jack & Dani are so CUTE together. I wish they got their own reality show after Love Island. I would definitely watch. Also, Jack is so smart, funny and treats Dani really well.

As for their "lie detector don't even wanna start with how their "lie detector" results went. Ugh like ok... I'm a new fan of this show and I can tell you 100% that lie detector is FAKE!!! First of all I remember that when Shane Dawson made a video using a REAL lie detector guy.

The man said once you're hooked up to the machine you can't move or else it affects the results and the guys were moving! It's actually so sad that they had to make Jack and Dani fight for views.

One thing I didn't like about Jack and Dani is that when they were picking which couple to go home in July 27ths episode. They didn't want to send Alex and Alexandra home because they were their mates. Like guys! This is Love Island NOT Best Friends Island. They aren't in a couple send them home!





When they had to take care of plastic babies. Oh my gosh! It was so cute seeing everyone being parents. 



Haha and seems like Alex's job doesn't rest even when he's on love island. Here he is being a doctor to the islander's babies 


And here's the most funniest moment in my opinion... poor baby Prince getting his arm torn off 




Do you watch Love Island? If so who's your favorite & why? I'm so addicted to this show I'm definitely going to be watching the next season. Let's just say "babes I'm loyal" to the show hahaha people who watch the show will definitely get that reference. Lol
