"The stakeholders are aligned, the Islanders will be laying on Factor 50, and we're on track to hit our KPI on drama. It's time to crack on and deliver serious results. Let's circle back soon."
In the trailer, Maya is surrounded by items like a small pool and inflatable flamingos, instructs her Love Island HQ team: "Right, this year, Love Island needs something bigger. Something bolder. I want ideas."

It seems like fans have taken this to mean that they want their ideas too, as they have shared their opinions on changes the show should make.
‌
Two changes seem to stand out among commenters on the video, one being that they should be allowed more alcohol in the villa, and the second being they want to see less influencers in the house.
One fan shared: "Give them alcohol then. Like the good old days. And don't set up conversation's"
Another added: "Just put average everyday people in instead of experienced reality veterans and influencers"
‌
Which was reiterated by another user who said: "Less influencers please that all look identical, no scripted conversations, bring back games & alcohol"
Over the last 10 years of Love Island, their rules and regulations inside the villa have changed, this includes how much the Islanders are allowed to drink. The shows creators/producers have limited alcohol to prioritise the well-being and safety of their contestants, which means they are reportedly only allowed one or two drinks a night.
Past Islanders even weighed in on the conversation, as Season 2 contestant Rykard Jenkins said: "Initial coupling should happen after 24 hours. Give them a chance to get to know each other. But make it an odd number of people for some stakes & all contestants 25+."

Some people even compared the series to their American equivalent, one person said: "The last season of U.S.A was the biggest hit because there were real normal people. Bringing in women with insane boob jobs, fake lips, fake hair etc takes away from it feeling like a real experience."
You can watch Love Island on Monday, June 9 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV X.
