Several single, attractive, twenty-somethings living under one roof, what could possibly go wrong? Enough drama to keep you glued to your TV for six weeks straight, thats what.
While studying abroad in London, I quickly learned that Love Island is THE hit TV show in the UK, and if you want to make small talk with any British person, it's best to catch up on this oh-so-bad-its-good reality show. So here's what you need to know:
Love Island takes single men and women from all over the UK, pairs them up, and puts them all under one breathtakingly gorgeous villa in Majorca. The men and women take turns choosing who they want to couple up with each week in the villa, but people come and go rather often. New "Islanders", as they like to be called, are introduced to mix things up. Every so often an Islander, or a couple, is voted off the island by the viewers. The final couple with the most votes wins 50,000 pounds and their chance at making it together in the real world.
The show originally debuted in 2005 and took a 10 year hiatus before returning in 2015. Now on it's fourth season, Love Island brings in an average of 3.4 million viewers across the UK. But don't worry, you're still able to watch this juicy drama in the US thanks to Hulu.
Some past personal favorites of mine are Cally and Luis from Season 1 and Nathan and Cara from Season 2, both couples are still together with kids! From break-ups to make-ups and all of the fighting in between, Love Island is a must watch this summer.
Be sure to tune in to find your favorite couple!
