If you’re still overwhelmed by whatever just happened on Love Island Australia or you’re living for good ol’ trash television then get into bed and prepare to giggle because the nation has a lot to say about our fave new love-to-hate garbage reality TV show.
To say the least, Love Island is just not great but if you’ve had a couple to drink or am in a giddy mood or need something to make you feel better about tomorrow being a Monday then yeah, it’s entertaining. And hey, it’s doing well for Channel 9 ‘cos #LoveIslandAU is currently the number one trending hash tag on twitter.
Mission accomplished.
Speaking of which, twitter’s already roasting the hell out of the show and the general consensus is:

But host, Sophie Monk wants you to give them another chance:
Whatever impressions you’ve got now of these guys… Just wait until you get to know them properly. Trust me! ❤️ #LoveIslandAU

Sure thing, Soph.
Anywhoo, here are a bunch of tweets because they’re far too entertaining not to be bundled up together for your viewing pleasure:

I was forced to watch 30 mins of #loveislandau because I didn’t want to disturb my cat sleeping on my lap. The things you do for love.

These people should just marry themselves and be done with it. #yawn #LoveIslandAU

Well that was fun but I don’t think my brain can handle this 5 nights a week. 👋🏻 #LoveIslandAU

Off to bed in the hope the brain cells I just lost watching #LoveIslandAU some how replenish themselves.

Love island drinking game: have a shot every time someone says banter. Guaranteed to pass out before the first commercials. #loveislandau

Well judging by the trash I usually watch, I really didn’t think I had a reality tv line that could be crossed. Then #LoveIslandAU came along. It’s genuinely too awful to keep watching. I hope Cassidy finds happiness, she seems a nice girl, but I won’t watch to find out.
— Courtney (She/Her) (@echogroove) May 27, 2018
Cassidy does seem like the most likeable of the bunch.

It’s a low bar but this is probably the low point in Australian television history. It’s not fun trashy. It’s just actual trash. #LoveIslandAU

So grateful to see @LoveIslandAU‘s diverse cast. White. Thin. Able bodied. Tall. Bland. #LoveIslandAU pic.twitter.com/lKmsCbu8Qz

#LoveIslandAU Sorry – should have just done a season of Big Brother. Variety of people/ages/intellect etc. I don’t think I can stick with this.

Is it just me or does #LoveIslandAU seem really fake in every sense?! What’s with the constant zooming in on boobs and butts?! Plastic, fake, barbie and ken dolls? Tv is really getting desperate for new reality shows! Blah!

SAUSAGE PARTY IS THE MOVIE AFTER #LOVEISLANDAU… I CANNOT EVEN

In what world do women wear bathers with heels? #LoveIslandAU

I love me some crap tv but @LoveIslandAU oh hell no. Turned off after 5 minutes #LoveIslandAU pic.twitter.com/OzRge4QNIg

But because reality TV is a guilty pleasure for some Aussies, there were a few who did genuinely like the show:

Can’t wait to waste my life watching #LoveIslandAU come to mamaaaaaa
— Madeleine Cook (@madeleinejc) May 27, 2018
Although, this is probably the truth of it:
#loveislandau is looking trash and airing 5 times a week is a bit much.
tbh, I’ll probably get hooked next week for no other reason, than to kill a bunch of brain cells watching hot, white people getting it on.— Tim Chan (@timchanofficial) May 27, 2018
Once again, if you haven’t seen this then you must because it’ll refresh your mind, body, and soul and cement your love for Sophie Monk even more.
WAIT FOR IT 😂 🐝🐝🐝 WHY IS NO ONE SAVING ME!!??? 😱 @9go @9nowau @loveislandau 8.30pm tonight pic.twitter.com/d5ra9kWMk4
— Sophie Monk (@sophiemonk) May 27, 2018
It’s also the highlight of the season – yes, the season. Nothing can beat this.
P.S:
The best part about #LoveIslandAU is Twitter. The show is a horrible steaming pile of shit, but the Twitterverse makes it tolerable
— Dane Ryan (@TheRealDaneRyan) May 27, 2018
Don’t you just love it when people bond on twitter?
