Pure addictive trash television is returning to our screens tonight in the form of Love Island. It feels like only yesterday when we screamed at our tellies after finding out Ali was going to be our next Bachelorette, a woman neither dramaesque or zesty enough to fill our problematic reality TV voids.
But alas, we have been sent a saviour.
The Aussie version of Love Island premiers 8:30PM tonight and much alike Bachelor in Paradise, it will feature a bunch singles looking to amp up their social media followings.
The ten extremely fit singles will be flown to a villa in Mallorca, Spain, thrown condoms and forced to pair up for our entertainment.
Said villa has been unleashed to the public via the show’s Instagram account and it’s looking gewd… and really fluro.
But first can we just take a moment to really soak in the show’s synopsis:
They are all hoping to find romance, passion and hopefully the one. The Islanders immediately ‘couple up’ and share a bed with each other, resulting in either a recipe for disaster, or a saucy dish full of sugar and spice. But don’t think for a minute they can get too comfortable, with new Islanders regularly entering the villa to test all the relationships.
Inspiring.
Those bloody flamingos.
Nice to see the contestants get actual double beds sans mosquito nets. Also I’m getting serious Big Brother vibes from this.
No really, is this the Big Brother chair where they drop a deuce? Peep the high quality background.
Someone will throw a tanty here.
I imagine someone will be pushed into this pool to one-up the drama on Bachie in Paradise.
Starting off (before the intruders jet in), we have:
- Natasha, 24, Beauty Salon Owner from Perth
- Tayla, 21, Beauty Queen from Perth
- Erin, 23, Nurse from Melbourne
- Cassidy, Bartender, 23, from Melbourne
- Millie, 24, Doggy Daycare Worker from Sydney
- Charlie, 22, International Rugby Player from Sydney
- Eden, 25, Prison Officer from Sydney
- Justin, 27, International Model from Melbourne
- Grant, 22, Electrician from Canberra
- Josh, 25, Sports Administrator from Sydney
The oldest person is 27-years-old, this is going to be a wild ride.
Airing Sunday to Thursday for peak thrash hangover, you can catch Love Island Australia on 9Go! and 9Now 8:30PM… which means you can still watch the first half of Gordon Ramsay Week on Masterchef.
You can cop the sweet, sweet trailer below:
