Posted January 9, 20214 yr Given the contestants will be among the last to be vaccinated and that cases are at their all time high, this must put a massive question mark as to whether there will be a 2021 series at all whether in Majorca or the UK. If it does take place in the UK then it would have to be in Anglesey, Isle of Wight, Canvey Island or the Scottish Isles etc to stay true to its name.
January 9, 20214 yr Maybe it could be a group of 20-30 year olds with underlying health conditions eg. asthma (people with underlying health conditions would be higher in the queue for vaccinations)
January 9, 20214 yr I think they should still do a series if the cases are low in Majorca they should carry on doing them there .
January 9, 20214 yr I could see it maybe being something similar to what Love Island USA did having them on the rooftop/inside of a hotel in Vegas? Don't know where exactly they would do that in the UK though. :lol:
January 11, 20214 yr Surely if they can do I’m a celeb etc, they can do love island? Just shove them in isolation for a few weeks beforehand?
January 11, 20214 yr They will do it/ push it back 4 weeks, I am sure I read the problem with the winter series was the casting etc. - it takes so long and there is so much uncertainty, it disrupted the summer series and the winter series just was not viable. They would need a lot of extra capital to have private testing done and a bio-secure bubble.
January 11, 20214 yr They could do it in South Africa again! Our borders are open :cheer: :dance: Oh really?! Going ✈️ Cape Town until lockdown is over.
January 11, 20214 yr They could do it in South Africa again! Our borders are open :cheer: :dance: Surprised at that. The South African variant of the virus is also what scientists are most worried about now in terms of Covid. Edited January 11, 20214 yr by Road Salt Mixer
January 11, 20214 yr Surprised at that. The South African variant of the virus is also what scientists are most worried about now in terms of Covid. Our borders have been open since November but I think I may have jinxed it now Just announced that the president is addressing the nation tonight!
January 11, 20214 yr Our borders have been open since November but I think I may have jinxed it now Just announced that the president is addressing the nation tonight! What are the South African government going to do about the vaccine for their citizens if the South African variant is believed by scientists to be likely resistant to the current vaccines? Edited January 11, 20214 yr by Road Salt Mixer
January 12, 20214 yr What are the South African government going to do about the vaccine for their citizens if the South African variant is believed by scientists to be likely resistant to the current vaccines? Was this not fake news? The president said last night we have 20million vaccines being rolled out for the first half of this year There's so many stories and lack of research that I don't even know what to do or believe anymore
March 2, 20214 yr I suppose when the producers can get quick enough Covid testing for everyone involved channels can run these sorts of TV shows again. I'm sure many Love Island critics had hoped Covid restrictions would end the series for good :lol: Edited March 2, 20214 yr by TheSnake
June 21, 20214 yr Cast revealed. Usual tokenism of one (1) black female and male. The rest white straight influencers with amazing bodies. Boring. Cba to watch. Series like Are You The One? do it so much better with more diversity.
June 21, 20214 yr I will watch as I’ve actually missed it but I really wish they would listen to people that call them out for the lack of diversity within the cast . It don’t help that literally the majority of line up currently revealed look like clones of past islanders also :lol: Edited June 21, 20214 yr by troylovesmusic
June 21, 20214 yr On SA Love Island, the public made a huge fuss about lack of diversity to the extent that the main sponsor pulled out after 1 episode. Then nearly every bombshell after that was a POC It's disappointing but I'll still watch
June 23, 20214 yr The casting is so lazy like the guy from Weston-Super-Mare kinda looks like Finn, has a foot fetish like him, watching the little bios you really do end up noticing a lot of the same archetypes and characteristics even if it’s small things and it’s like watching the same show with the same cast! I work a lot of evenings now so I doubt I will bother to watch tbh
June 23, 20214 yr I was gonna give it a go and properly try and get into it if they'd have bothered with a more diverse cast...but that? Nah, they can f*** off EDIT: DS just put out an article addressing this mess and I couldn't have put it any better: https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a3...diversity-body/ Edited June 23, 20214 yr by Jαsє
June 28, 20214 yr Forgot this started tonight - turned it on during the coupling bit and to be honest everyone just left me a bit cold. It didn't feel interesting and just extremely superficial. I know its love island and all the series are like that, but maybe with the world as it is etc it just feels even more shallow than it did before. I'll probably watch a couple more eps, but I can't see this hooking me again in a big way... but we shall see
