List of episodes

The first season of the American version of the television reality program Love Island began airing on July 9, 2019, and concluded on August 7, 2019. The 22-episode series was broadcast on CBS in the United States and CTV in Canada. Arielle Vandenberg hosted the series while Matthew Hoffman provided voice-over narration. On August 7, 2019, having received the largest quantity of votes from the public, David Osborne and Lorraine Osborne were crowned the winners and split the $100,000 prize. Dylan Curry and Alexandra Stewart were named the runners-up.

The show's first season generally received mixed reviews from critics [1] and its ratings were not as high as CBS's expectations. [2] The series was renewed for a second season before the first had finished airing. [3]

Format

Further information: Love Island (American TV series) § Format

Love Island is a reality television program in which a group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders", are living in a villa in Fiji. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the Islanders must be in a relationship with another Islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but they are later forced to "re-couple" at special ceremonies in which they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone. [4] While in the villa, each Islander has his or her own telephone, with which they can contact other Islanders via text and can receive text messages informing them of the latest challenges, dumpings, and re-couplings. While the Islanders might appear to have unmediated access to the outside world, they are limited in both their alcohol consumption and communication with the outside world. [5]

The Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date. [6]

Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped", for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app. During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win. [6]

At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public receive two envelopes, one for each partner. One envelope contains $100,000 and the other contains nothing. The partner with the $100,000 envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment. [4]

[7] At the envelope ceremony, Elizabeth drew the envelope containing the $100,000 and decided to split the money with her partner, Zac. [8] [9]

Production

Development

On February 22, 2006, it was announced an American version of Celebrity Love Island was in development at My Network TV [61] [62] but the program was never produced. [63] On August 8, 2018, it was reported CBS had acquired from ITV Studios and Motion Content Group the rights to produce an American non-celebrity version of the show with David George, Adam Sher, and David Eilenberg serving as executive producers. [64] Simon Thomas, Mandy Morris, Ben Thursby, Richard Foster, and Chet Fenster later joined the series as executive producers in addition to the original three. [65] It was also announced Arielle Vandenberg would be hosting the series. [66] Matthew Hoffman was selected as the narrator for the series; his narrative style involved leveling sarcastic comments at the contestants in voice-overs. [67] [68] CBS budgeted $30 million to produce the season. [69]

On August 1, 2019, CBS renewed the series for a second season. [70] [71]

Filming

Filming started on July 7, 2019, two days before the Islanders entered the villa. Filming took 32 days and ended on August 7 during the live-to-tape finale. Rather than using a villa on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca as the UK series does, [72] the American Love Island is filmed in a custom-built villa on an island in Fiji. [73] Series producers chose Fiji as a location because "it 'meant something to Americans' and 'feels like a place you would want to come and fall in love'." [74]

Villa

The Love Island villa at night

The villa features a two-story house in which the Islanders live; it has a communal bedroom and an outdoor kitchen downstairs. [75] The outdoor area has a pool, hot tub, gymnasium, outdoor bar, shower, and lounge areas, [76] and also a fire pit where most re-couplings take place. [77] There are seven queen-sized beds in the communal bedroom, which the couples share throughout the season. [78] [4] The second floor of the villa has a bathroom containing an infinity bathtub, dressing area, balcony, and a toilet, which the Islanders shared. Also upstairs is a room with four vanities and a balcony where the women could get ready. [75] Areas of the villa, including its garden, collectively contain 3,000 locally sourced plants. [79] Over a mile of neon lights are strung around parts of the villa. [80]

The Hideaway, designed by Jonathan Adler, is a secluded bedroom and outdoor area. Couples could earn the privilege of spending a night at the Hideaway by winning one of the games that are regularly played in the villa during the season. [81]

Broadcast

The series opened with a 90-minute premiere on July 9, 2019. From July 9 to August 7, 2019, 22 episodes were aired, each lasting around 60 minutes. [82] [83] The series was simulcast on CTV in Canada. [84] On Saturday, July 27, 2019, American television channel Pop broadcast a 14-hour marathon of the first fourteen episodes of the series. [85]

Prize

As part of the Love Island format, after the winning couple was announced, they were presented with two envelopes, one of which contained the $100,000 prize; the other envelope contained nothing. They both chose an envelope and announced what was inside. The Islander who chose the envelope containing the prize money decided whether to share the money with the partner or take it all. [86]

Reunion

On October 17, 2019, starting at 7 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, the contestants of the first series of Love Island, including host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman, attended a reunion party. [87] The reunion would have been the first time the entire cast of the series was together [88] but Mallory Santic, Cormac Murphy, Marli Tyndall, Winston Hines, Kelsey Jurewicz, and Anton Morrow did not attend. [89] Viewers could ask questions of the cast through social media. [88]

Notes

  • ^Note 1 :   Kyra entered after the initial coupling and was told that after twenty-four hours she'd be allowed to steal a guy from another girl.
  • ^Note 2 :       America voted for the most compatible couple on the island. The two couples with the fewest votes would be up for the dump. The saved Islanders then had to collectively choose one person from each couple to keep on the island. The Islanders chose to save Caro and Yamen, meaning that Christen and Cormac were dumped from Love Island. Following the dumping, Caro and Yamen became single. Winston, as a new Islander who arrived after the most-recent re-coupling, was immune from this dumping.
  • ^Note 3 :       America voted for their favorite new boy and girl to save from dumping. America saved Eric and Kelsey, leaving Aissata, Ray, Marli, George vulnerable to being dumped. Then, the guys had to collectively choose to save either Aissata or Marli and the girls collectively chose to save either Ray or George. Aissata and Ray were saved, meaning that Marli and George were dumped from Love Island.
  • ^Note 4 :     America voted for their favorite couple to save from dumping. Cashel & Katrina, Aissata & Yamen and Eric & Kyra received the fewest votes and were up for the dump. The saved Islanders had to publicly vote to dump one of the vulnerable couples, with each saved couple casting one vote. Cashel & Katrina received all 4 votes and were dumped from Love Island.
  • ^Note 5 :   Kelsey walked during the re-coupling ceremony, meaning she decided to not couple up with anyone.
  • ^Note 6 :     America voted for their favorite couple. The couple that received the fewest votes was dumped from Love Island.
  • ^Note 7 :   America voted for the couple they wanted in the Finale of Love Island. When the votes were revealed the couples with the most votes were declared as finalists while the couple with the fewest votes was dumped.
  • ^Note 8 : Viewers voted for which couple they thought should win Love Island. The couple with the most votes were declared the winners of Love Island and received the grand prize money.

Reception

Critical response

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the first American series of Love Island 55%, holding an average rating of 5.25 out of 10 with the consensus being "Crude, rude, but without that charming British attitude, Love Island fails to make a splash across the pond—though fans may still find comfort in its cynically familiar formula". [90] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gives the series a score of 56 indicating "mixed or average reviews". [91] After watching the pilot, Yohana Desta of Vanity Fair said the series "was a charmer in its first episode" but noted the differences between host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman from their British counterparts Caroline Flack and Iain Stirling, respectively, stating Vanderberg is much more of a joker than Flack and that Hoffman had not captured the "snarky energy" of Stirling. [92] Eric Thurm of The A.V. Club called the series "pure chaotic evil" and said, "Love Island is about a bunch of hot people sitting by a pool bonding over the fact that they have nothing to do". Thurm also said the pacing is too quick, with Islanders doing nothing and everything in the same episode. [93] Reviewing the first five episodes, Kathryn VanArendonk of Vulture stated "Love Island is boring, but hard to escape", [94] but Ben Travers of IndieWire opined that the contestants were bland. [95]

Viewing figures

CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl told The Hollywood Reporter it was targeting a young, mostly female audience for the series. [96] It also said the average Love Island viewer is eight years younger than CBS' wider average audience. [96] Kahl also said there was a large, social-media-based engagement with the series, noting it has created a large amount of enthusiasm at the network. [97] Despite regularly having generally poor viewing figures, CBS revealed Love Island was the most-streamed show on CBS All Access during the summer television schedule, outpacing other summer series Big Brother as well as other popular CBS series including Survivor and The Big Bang Theory. [98] [99] On August 29, 2019, Love Island averaged a 3.7% share in the 18-49 demographic and 2.7 million viewers per episode. [100]

Despite the first season receiving mixed reviews from critics [1] and less-than-ideal viewing figures, [2] the series was renewed for a second season. [3]
