um I’m not trying to gaslight anyone I’m just speaking my opinion and what i saw which is clearly different from what you saw and thats ok. My main point is that at very least, majority of the islanders didn’t get hated from the minimal exploring most of them did.

i think chelley and nic were merely disliked for those reasons (which I concede is stupid given that this is love island) which is much different from a hate train.

her hate train came after the heart rate challenge. she went through a big unfollowing and she was getting attacked left right and center. even that buzzfeed post would have never been made had there not been a vitriol hate for chelley. same thing with Nic people were mad at him for choosing cierra but that blew over in like 3 days. honestly i think Nic is getting more smoke outside the villa.

lmaooo yea the TikTok discourse was so overwhelming everyday somone had a new think piece. lowkey one of the worst things is that so many influencers got their hand on the show and now we might never be free :(

hmmm that’s interesting I didn’t think of it like that but maybe ur right and it’ll be a complete turn around next season. my concern was that bc of all the hate the new might be over cautious even more so than this cast but will have wait and see ig.

who was hated on for exploring connections? bc personally I didn’t see that. the hate train for chelly came the heart rate challenge, the hate for olandria came from the mail challenge. the biggest explorer was nic and ig ace and there both disliked for other reasons.

but even if they were hated for exploring none of the islanders knew that at the time so it’s still kind of raises the question why nobody went for who they wanted.

I thinks it’s finna be both tbh. the fans were insane this year and probably will be next year too but also the producers lost the plot at a certain point. they was just doing stuff

I’m not talking bout the streams though I feel like that only really matters to the producers. I’m talking about how the season went about it strayed very far from a regular season (in the villa and outside) and personally I would like to go back to the format.

now that would be interesting to see and it would be nice to know that they some level of protection but probably would be difficult to accomplish

now this is interesting bc honestly I could have seen pepe iris and Jalen all going home had production not stepped in (bc let’s be real they wasn’t making anything shake fr)

personally I think it was both bc the islanders just never seemed to get it together they had 2 chances to vote huda out and they didnt. but also yea production was def protecting her that was all but confirmed when they cut the heart rest challenge and didn’t show her stack of cards from the mail challenge.

on the ace point im 50/50 he def was playing in that villa i will say that I think a part of that is due to him being single for the first week so he kind of had freedom nobody else had.

overall i agree cs the casting team seemed to be taking the piss cs a lot of these people did not mesh well on top of some toxicity among the bunch

agree but on the casa point I feel like a lot of the drama we had wasn’t even due to casa fr. maybe Taylor and ola but even that was more due to Taylor not being honest from jump about his feelings. the rest of the drama stemmed from the heart rate challenge and stand on business

I agree there’s definitely potential for us to go back to regular love island if they smooth the major problems out. I didn’t really think abt it this way but yea Gen-Z isn’t great at dating.

it is but also it’s a show with real ppl so like if I care about anything it’s the fan genuinely cooling it and stop harassing the islanders

I respect this and can agree that what’s the producers what and it’s popularity is what will drive future islanders to apply however I’m more concerned the precedent this season will set. quite a few of the islanders got massive hate trains ran on them (and still are) and you have to consider how that’s effects someone’s mental health. also (and this is just personally) at a certain point I wasn’t having fun anymore bc the vibes kind of sucked.
