Love Island fans fume at 'lame' new format of show
Love Island has only hit screens but Tuesday night's opening twist had some viewers turning heads, and ruffled the feathers of others. The girls were all smiles as they arrived into the villa, ready to meet their potential summer soulmates, but excitement quickly turned to surprise thanks to host Maya Jama, The Mirror reports. Instead of the usual coupling ceremony based on first impressions, this year the boys were kept out of sight, with the girls being given six glowing hearts with a short dating profile of one of the lads. Each profile revealed just five things: name, age, height, job, and one cheeky line about their dating style. Without having to see a single face, and with only this information to go, the girls had to decide who to couple with - and they only had a few minutes to decide before Maya counted down. Once every girl was locked into their chosen profiles, the moment of truth arrived and the boys entered one by one, meeting the girls who'd taken a punt on them. Some of the cast members looked pleased with their choices, whereas others had a bit of an awkward first meet as one of the girls admitted she was only "fifty-fifty" about her match. Sadly, fans were less than impressed with the new format, which was branded "lame" on social media by viewers who insisted "I want out". One person hit out: "This is such a lame twist because there's no drama or mystery about who will end up with who." Another chimed in: "If this is the twist that is bigger than ever this year, I want out. It's not MAFS." A third moaned: "This twist has done the male islanders dirty, I'm expecting fit fitties coming out with these bios and then we got a load of understudies." Someone else said they are still hoping there is another switch-up coming, complaining that so far season twelve feels like "a copy and paste" of all the previous ones. On the other hand, some viewers were pleased to see the girls taking a chance on men based on their personalities rather than their looks. One person gushed: "Okay I love the twist on how they're pairing them." It comes as fans issued another complaint, with some calling for a change. The screaming from the girls in the villa left fans calling it "painful". One fan posted: "8 minutes in and I'm already sick of the screaming." Another agreed: "God girls stop screaming!!!!" as a third added: "All this screaming on entering the villa is so unnecessary, you're not 10." A fourth fan posted: "I can't bear the screaming," as another said: "The start of the season is always PAINFUL bc of all the damn screaming."
