10 reasons why Love Island is the best guilty pleasure of now
Dear people, I don't need to tell you that this year was a flop. Only after the episodes did something actually happen (thanks Rodan, but cheating during the recordings makes it a bit more fun for us), and it was even admitted that the participation was purely for Instagram fame (by Demi, also known as number 77 from Sydney). Yawn. Well, good news, because we don't have to wait for the VIP edition to go online. No way, we're all just going to Temptation Island watch. I've been completely hooked from the start (that's about two weeks, but every day, okay), and believe me: you want to see this too. It's too much fun. I understand you need some convincing, so here are 10 obvious reasons why you want this as your latest addiction right away. Love Island That voice-over. I would sign up if that would be the reporter of my life. So deliciously sarcastic, way too many bad jokes. The participants take themselves quite seriously, still believing that they are on Love Island for true love and not for the 25,000 euros they can win. Of course not. But luckily, the voice-over does anything but.
1. All those men fighting for Lotte, the sweet Amstelveen girl, with the big Bambi eyes and who is genuinely shocked by everything. Someone gives her a rose? 'Oh my goodness.' A lap dance? 'Oh! Wow.' Someone has to be voted out? 'Oh MY GOODNESS.' Girl, you can't be so surprised about everything. You have all those men wrapped around your finger. That's fine, but with that innocent act, you're kind of giving yourself away, you know. Wow.
2. The Belgian Aleksandra who falls in love after a week and a half in Gran Canaria (where quite a lot of rain falls - super romantic), but also kisses someone first. And that French kissing partner is a completely different guy. She doesn't really understand the problem, but when her lover Matthy kisses someone else, the tears come. A case of ‘your own fault, thick bump’. But anyway, falling in love after a week and a half, crying, looking for a rebound; delicious TV.
3. I just don't quite understand what Chey is doing there. Badmouthing newcomer Denzel (I think ‘teasing boys, asking for kisses’), forming a couple with Stenn with as much tension as Laura has with all the Temptation men. Zero. Meanwhile, she checks here and there if the rest thinks she's an.
4. Instagram model. Chey, you are the weakest link. Okay, the episodes last about forty minutes. That's great, but they could easily be halved if Melany would talk at a somewhat normal pace. Holy moly, she really talks constantly in the lowest gear. Come on, Mel, we're hanging on your lips. A little more gas on that lolly. It's fun that she hops from man to man. Very cool to come in with only an eye on Jarne, quickly switching after the first rejection. All good, girl, now just talk as fast as you switch men and I'm a fan.
5. Well, Matthy. In the very first episode, I thought he would be the bit of a loser of the group, but DJ Matthy (available for parties and events, no joke) turns out to be the playboy of the villa. Aleksandra in love, Mel in love, newcomer Rowena in love. And Matthy is fine with it all. He wants Mel one moment, but also loves to be in bed.
6. The lovebirds Sebastiana and Martin. Or as Sebastiana herself says: 'Marrrrtin', with the most posh 'r' you can imagine - and that as a Belgian. Yes, they found each other in the very first episode and haven't let go since. I want to be invited to their wedding. So sweet, although I think Martin could loosen up a bit. I hope he doesn't end up switching girls. Because of them, I believe in true love again. Well, almost.
7. Jarne is clearly the pretty boy. Wow, I really find that man attractive, you know. Even that Belgian accent doesn't bother me. And he totally falls for those Bambi eyes of Lotte. Admittedly: when you see them together, they are also picture perfect. A bit boring, almost. I think they should drink a few bottles of wine together, maybe something exciting will come out of it.
8. And then the other men, the fillers. I really can't give an opinion about Vinnie, mainly because I haven't understood a word of what he says. I secretly like Noah, although I don't really think anyone is very interested in him. Denzel the muscle bundle is definitely not as holy as he pretends to be. Oh yes, Denzie, you are definitely a playboy. I do want to know what toothpaste he uses because those white teeth almost hurt my eyes.
9. The best part: you can still sign up for Love Island. I'm hesitating. If someone wants to record an introduction video with me, I'm totally in. I promise to be the most ideal candidate ever. The first two people have gone home, so there's room for new people. Oh, that registration is tempting, you know. If it stops raining a bit on that ‘tropical‘.
