10/10
Ignore the Bad Reviews

I know what you are thinking. This guy is uneducated, or he is materialistic, or he is phony, or he is a troll, or he is objectifying women, or he is immature, or he is etc., etc., etc....

The truth is that this show exists because people are watching it. You can come here with your insecurities about your body, or your intellectual superiority complex, or your elitist opinion that every TV show and movie should be a literary masterpiece.

Art should be accepted in all its forms and should have diversity. Those of you who call for the show to be banned or canceled should be ashamed of yourselves. Art should not be censored in any way. In culinary arts, you can eat a filet mignon and you can stuff your face with a good old fashioned hamburger. In fashion, you can wear an elegant tuxedo or you can rock a nice thrashed pair of blue jeans.

I do not see where all the hate comes from. I can watch the Godfather one day and relax to enjoy Love Island the next day. I am a husband and a dad. I work very hard and there are days that I am physically and emotionally exhausted. There is nothing wrong with my wife and I sitting down with some iced coffees and our smart phones to semi-watch a brainless show that blatantly celebrates the beautiful bodies and stupid naiveté of our youthful years... to blow off some steam remembering when we did not have the responsibilities of being middle aged.

I love this show in all its simplicity, just as I love the artistic masterpieces on the other end of the spectrum. It is better to review the show and explain its tone and purpose than to badmouth it. Badmouthing the stupidity of the people on Love Island (or those who watch it) is the same as denying you were every young and stupid. Youth is youth, plain and simple.
