spouse started watching love island s8 with me for the bit but got sucked in and i COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. writing about this shit is fun and will continue but having someone to shriek and meep with in real time, and also marvel at how well adjusted this cast seems to be and they’re just like…enjoying being young and having the most cultural attractiveness value you will ever possess? And also just the over the top-ness/cultural nadir hellscape but with narration by that one guy from Taskmaster? experiencing that with someone is so fun.
I had an inkling my spouse was in it when they asked what happened to the blonde lady (Ariana Madix)((she dyed her hair)) and knew they were in it when we both started screaming at the same volume about the batshit song that was playing over the end like MY crown of THORNS keeps MEEEEEEEEEE from seeing the LIGHT or whatever.
It is the first episode so I’m allowed to not know their names yet, except Beatriz, who is my new religion now and if anything happens to her on this show spouse & I are recruiting our best friend who constantly craves violence and setting Fiji on fire. The whole thing. Sorry about it.
Also I cautiously love Vince Staples, which is what I am calling the guy who looks like Vince Staples. That’s how that works. He seems like a delight. So does Sincere (i remembered two names) but you gotta be really fucking confident in not being a fuckboy to be named SINCERE and choosing to go on Love Island. Best of luck to YOU, my good man. I do kind of want to pinch his cheeks.
we didn’t realize until we heard it played on the show but love island is basically”Cut To The Feeling,” but 6 weeks long, innit?
