Love Island 2020 (Winter) - See Note in OP

Jamie2k9

Starts next Sunday so decided to start a new topic for the series.

Mod Note: Guys, we say the same thing in the Big Brother thread, the X Factor thread, the BGT thread - if you don't like a show, keep scrolling.

People do like reality TV. Get over it.

By posting your distaste here, you are trolling the people who do like these shows and like to follow along.

We get it, you don't like it. Just move on. Thanks.

Man Vs ManUre

Hope there will be some fine tv totty in it.

Man Vs ManUre

It starts on Sunday night.
Hope it won’t be a big flop like the survival of the fittest show they did few years ago in South Africa.

The lineup was released last night, looks like Lewis Capaldi's ex (who inspired a lot of his songs) is going into the villa.

I think it will flop.
1 season of this in the summer is enough. Viewers need to try to hold on to what little of their brains that are still there.

Where are all the goths?

end of the road

they are having 2 series a year now?
sounds like a bad bad idea to me, it will in all likely hood cause burn out of the whole thing, and if it doesn't, it will probably go to 3 series a year.

Maybe they'll look better on TV though.

Big brother went the same way, it's all about milking the cash cow before it runs dry.

I have a feeling that it won't do as well as the summer for one main reason - programming at this time of the year is great, all the stations are churning out the dramas, loads to see in the cinema etc whereas in Summer, there is considerably less on!

There's too many options on TV now for people to dedicate 6 nights a week for nearly 2 months!

Does that really affect this particular target audience though?

From my own experience, many of my own peer group - and younger friends/colleagues/acquaintances - don't even have the channels, just stream everything in their own time and watch Netflix etc.

Haha this is funny, Max is in Love Island.

:pac:

I think this would have been much better if it had a winter setting. Like somewhere cold with log cabins and fires and that kind of jazz. Nothing worse than seeing their fit toned bodies being flaunted in your face when I’m still trying to walk off my turkey. Then again I’m a fatty in the summer too so what does it even matter. I’ll be tuning in anyway, with wine and judgement for company.

When it was first announced I genuinely thought it was going to have an apres ski vibe! :pac:

Wheres Ricky Gervais when you need him. Hopefully this trophy hunter will be out first.

anewme

ITV under severe pressure to get him out. Petition close to 10k now. I'd actually be worried for his safety so they need to be more aware of what they are 3xposing him to , given what's happened to reality contestants in the past.

It would be in everyone's best interests if he just withdrew. Not likes he needs the cash . And hes already famous for murdering innocent animals.

Nice looking girls with red hair. When i first saw them as blonde, I was thinking here are a very poor version of some of the blonde stunners that they are trying to imitate.

I'll be skipping this tonight. Louis Theroux on BBC2 at 9 about sex workers.

They look 10 years older blonde. And much harsher. Typical example of people who need a "make under" as opposed to a "make over".

ITV2+1 for me.

Looking forward to Louis asking hookers if they have a conscience about pulling 5 grand a week. Should be interesting.

Why should they have a conscience about making five grand a week? What about the pr*cks that are paying them.

He did a show before about sex workers in America. I remember this one woman had been doing it years.

A lot of them start out by they would be dating a guy and then he introduces them to that world and is their pimp.

He loves “researching” them sex workers does Louis

Just from the promos, I didn't like any of the contestants. I also think they're bringing in too many people who are slightly well known. I'll love it in a couple of days, just my initial reaction to it!

Yeah, but someone could be cute and pick him just at the very end- for security , not to be left out.

In fairness, she never really did much afer the first episode. Slo mo walks into the villa the odd time and thats it. Hopefully its the same with Laura and we dont see her much, cant stand her.

She’s a fcuking awful tv presenter and evidently an awful person in general. But hell will freeze over before donkeykong will ever change his opinion on anything, regardless of what evidence has been presented.
