A group of men and women participate in a series of tasks with a partner that they keep swapping until they meet the love of their life  |

It's two men (Luca and Davide) and WA also warned about the guy from 2018 (Adam?) - emotional abuse from all 3. I don't watch the show but I hope to tell that Love Island actively support the women AND don't let the men get away with it. Emotional abuse is widespread enough without a popular TV show making it seem ok. FWIW I know men who've experienced emotional abuse too. |

"It's all very toxic from what I've seen on social media, but then it's heavily influenced by the production team."
I’ve seen bits and I agree.
It is also full of the most awful people I’ve ever encountered. And Gemma 3 |

Definitely far too many males seem to have a problem differentiating between flirting and being sociable. The latest example of this happened on Love Island.
Is there anything wrong with flirty banter anyway? So long as banter is all it is. |

We watch it.
Mainly because it's car crash TV (as most reality shows are these days) and it's pretty hard to avoid news of what's happening if you're in any way active on social media or work with others who watch the show.
It's massively staged and orchestrated by the production team and that's obvious. The kind of people who go on the show know exactly what they're letting themselves in for, know precisely how to 'play the game' and best interact with others to maximise exposure and post-show earning potential, and if you believe the 'relationships' that form and break up are in any way 100% genuine then more fool you.
Everyone does what they can to stay on the show, including switching partners based on who they think will appeal to the public and keep them in the game as long as possible.
You don't get to go on the show if you're not a strong character. Some of the personalities shown are vile, manipulative and controlling. But equally some of the contestants coming across as victims are deliberately playing on the sympathies and empathy of both other contestants and viewers.
If anyone thinks they can find the 'love of their life' in a closed environment with minimal variation in interaction and experiences with others, then they need to give their heads a wobble. It's no different to a 'holiday romance' where once back in the real world 99% will fail in weeks.
The producers want strong personalities. They want drama. They want clashes, break-ups and controversy. It would get zero viewers if everyone was nice, sweet and polite to each other 24/7.
It's all about the ratings and the marketing/advertising opportunities.

"Where’s man’s aid to support us after watching Tasha emotionally abuse Andrew the way she’s done? "
I've not watched the show but charities to support abuse against men aren't as well known - Women's Aid were apparently tagged on Twitter by a lot of people. To be fair the statement from WA about talking to contestants isn't gendered:
‘We are talking to ITV, and they have shared with us information on their inclusion training, but what appears to be missing is specific information on abusive relationships and an understanding of controlling behaviour in relationships.’
Mankind specifically supports men and Survivors Network supports all genders - Im sure there are more organisations supporting males. |
