For a million, I'd think about it.

I disagree. For a 100k I'd let you watch it.

Returns Aug 24th with a two-hour episode, one-hour nightly after that, with a two-hour re-cap on Saturdays. There wasn't a time-length mentioned. It will be filmed at a Las Vegas hotel and there will be frequent testing.

It has been airing the past couple weeks. I've caught a few episodes here and there. Beautiful cast, so-so melodrama. One of the last shows on network tv that doesn't seem touched by the current zeitgeist.

It would work better if viewers had more opportunity to manipulate the houseguests, -such as when they took away one girl's "boyfriend" and sent him on a date with someone else (I assume because she's annoying to pretty much everyone at home ). She, of course, wanted to know why viewers hated her.

It has now moved to Peacock and the new season debuts on Tues July 19

I wonder if Bravo will air it after it ends its run on Peacock?

Some of the former Love Island people are currently showing up on The Challenge on CBS.

Interesting side note, the US version of Love Island has not produced a single stable relationship yet. They've all eventually broken up.

One of the former Love Island women briefly showed up as a love interest on Bravo's reality show Summer House this past year.

Maybe they recycle these people and they appear on multiple reality shows

So I've been watching the Peacock version of Love Island, which is, of course, racier (sex positions and preferences are freely discussed) and the dialogue uncensored. Decent time-waster program to watch at the end of the night. Funny thing, though, Sarah Hyland is credited as the host of the show and she did the rounds promoting the show; she's only appeared in the first episode and we're beginning Week Three.

Yeah, the host barely appeared in the previous US seasons but it was still probably more than this season. The old host was also much hotter. The new narrator isn't bad, but I did learn to like the old one. I guess the new one also does it for LI in the UK, but he just sounds like Craig Ferguson to me.

The previous host would appear at least once a week (that's my recollection, anyway) with a few in the middle-of-the-week near the end. The current narrator is who the previous US narrator was patterned after; I wish they would have kept him, though.

The previous host and narrator were forced on the show by CBS. Once Love Island left CBS, they were dumped.
