Behind the Screen: Love Island Games - Peacock

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I feel like production thinks Theo is too old...

And the fact that they haven't brought black people is WILD. Theo should've been on, Danica, there's so many...

Both Georgia's are playing the game. I don't see 1 solid couple lol

been alot of complaints by black former islanders. One said they're purposely boycotting it, others said they were dropped like theo. The amount of blondes in there is crazy

Tvandcoffee#486

I know, I truly wonder whos gonna win.

Anton and georgia-even though shes faking it, they know what theyre doing. But I also cringe if the two people from this cast known for blackface get crowned winners on a season where people are complaining about diversity

georgia steele and toby because of their "history"??? I cant stand georgia but her fans go strong for her so they could take it.

molly racked up the most followers, and I love her! She could take the win but I think theres no chemistry with tom

entrepreneur#487

Surprised they didn't grab Michael Griffiths for this, but again, they probably think he's too old.

GoldenRing#488

 Michael Griffiths looks like an attractive Callum.

Is Arabella so entertaining on this?

Is Arabella so entertaining on this?

no lol she's actually just bitter. she's crying about guys 8-10 yrs younger than her not liking her 

anon12423452355...#491

Omg! She's 32? I thought she was 24.

here4realityTV#492

I hope Molly & Tom don't win because Tom has ZERO personality! His head would get even bigger

here4realityTV#493

I hope it's Soph & Josh

Tvandcoffee#494

Soph & josh deserve it, theyre the only couple with real chemistry IMO. Tom and Molly have none of that. I do wonder if the Molly & Callum fans end up splitting the fans and it ends up being the next couple highest in votes that doesnt have either of them in it. Sadly Ive seen alot of rude comments about Soph, so I worry that couple may be Georgia & Toby.

also I am annoyed for arabella that georgia h and anton got to the finale faking their shit and she didnt. I think her and adam are cute even though I dont think they had a shot of winning

Yeah, Arabella & Adam + Anton & Georgia H should've been dumped. Arabella annoyed me this season. She was trying to have her viral "moment" so bad.  

Soph is made fun of so much due to the way she speaks. I see nothing wrong with it!

My order would be 1.Soph + Josh 2. Jess + Callum 3. Molly + Tom (he's so boring)

Tvandcoffee#496

I feel like the twins speak just like Soph so to me its interesting they say it about Soph, not them. Sophs voice cant compare to courtneys from USA 4, I can understand people having a reaction to that. It just seems like a UK valley girl voice to me.

i like your order, Id probably just switch molly and callums couplings just for the sole fact that molly & tom were together longer.  

it will never happen because they seem like really good people, but imagine if molly or callum won, stole the money, and said they were getting back together?! It would be gold

season 2 should be filming shortly after Love Island USA ends this summer. they rent the villa back to back to accommodate both filming times. i expect it to start filming the first week of august. i'll do some digging and create a cast thread around filming time Smile

BBSurvivor123#498

the US got so many good names for S1, there honestly aren't too many that I'm missing (Justine, Cely, Zeta, and Courtney are all in my top 6 US islanders ever). 

Some of my top picks, that I feel are somewhat realistic, include:

  • Shannon (USA3)
  • Kassy (USA5)
  • Genevieve (USA3)
  • Josh (USA3)
  • Jacques (UK8)
  • Luca (UK8)
  • Cassidy (AU1)
  • Maddy (AU4)
  • Catherine (UK10)
  • Anna (UK5)
  • Leah (USA6)
  • Leo (USA5)
  • Destiny (USA5)
  • Timmy (USA4)

    • and probably so many more that I'm forgetting. I don't necessarily like all of them (Luca and Jacques in particular), but they'd all bring mess and entertainment.

    Yassss destiny!! Josh and shannon would be interesting, isnt she finally dating someone new?

    timster3#503

    We need queen Olivia back or I'm not watching. I remember enjoying love Island games but for some reason, the idea of a season two sounds so uninteresting

    the only relevant one. The queen. 

    Tvandcoffee#509

    So obviously Olivia as in Liv our Aussie queen right? And not the botched one on the challenge? Or is it the UK one people always talk about?

    Chicken_breast#510

    Would be fun to see them go The Challenge route and do rivals or exes. 

    BBSurvivor123#511

    Kay Kay and Kassy from S5 are on as of rn
