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.

Zzz sounds like the internationals don't know how to play the game and will whine when people play for money and not love. Americans will dominate...

To be honest I'm still a little confused lmaooo but I'll be watching 

Tvandcoffee#246

Im actually really excited. I think usa girlies from season 2&4 were the alliance with the numbers.

I hate how we still don't know the premise like how is this going to work

lol I knew this was overhyped. That trailer was very lame looks just like the regular show. I'm assuming the format is exactly the same but since America obviously can't vote the challenge winners decide who goes home. Some people will send people home-based on if they have a connection or not others will play more strategic and vote out strong competitors.

I think it'll still be good since they're all mostly likable but not nearly as messy main season live ones -- the format is kinda all over the place and it being non live will turn some off

premiere is tonight!!

Tvandcoffee#253

Does this drop at 8 or 9 pm EST?

Tvandcoffee#254

This episode was soooo good! 

Tvandcoffee#255

Its on bravo tonight if theres any non peacock people that still have cable lol

antonioioio#256

Kinda bummed it's only 3 weeks ... 17 episodes total apparently, so like 1/2 a normal LI season 

karmaxo#257

Ep 1 was so goodddd

Tvandcoffee#258

For those that watched, do yall agree that by the looks on justine and celys faces, they knew who it was? It was so messy but I loved it! 

House of Villains and Love Games are the best reality tv shows airing right now. What is the Challenge doing it to itself lmao

it does suck because we are used to long seasons, but on the brightside, that means only paying for one month if yall just subscribe for this show lol

will this show have unseen moments episodes? I think this cast would be so fun to watch on that

Yeah, it looked like they both knew.

Y'all hyped that up I want my time back. Also spoiler alert cely and Johnny are on good terms post show they were hugging at the watch party. Also cely and Justine are good they posted a YouTube video together describing why it appeared they weren't friends anymore. PR hyped up like they got into a fist fight on this show. I'm watching for the Swedish girl at this point everyone else is zzz

GoldenRing#262

PR said that it wasn't anything big there was just tension at one point keep up!

Idc, I'm loving this season. The challenge ****** up by ditching the fun aspect and sticking with only Olivia for the flagship from all the LIUSA seasons. Love Island Games gives me a little old school Challenge /I love money vibes and if this aired on cable, I think it would easily blow out the current numbers the Challenge is doing.

Kari_daddy#265

I don't even watch love island but I'm loving this show?! Like I don't know the back stories of anyone and maybe that's making it more exciting for me. The dramatic *** music during certain scenes has me on EDGE lol. Why are******* fighting over nachos idk but I love it! 

anon12423452355...#266

I tried to give this a shot but the first episode is just long intro videos. I don't get the appeal? Does it get better? The cast does have charm & charisma. I'll give them that.

Yea the intro was like an hour long lmao. I almost skipped through it but I didn't know the ppl so I watched anyway. But after that it's great! And the end of episode 1 was cracked...

lol that was so annoying like we already know these people? 

LucciVee#269

probably the best thing they could've done to the format obviously still early days in the season to make a complete judgement but so far it's been pretty stellar and the cast gives just enough although we could use more-- the premiere is usually drawn out and elaborate for no reason but after that it usually always picks up so I'm pleased 

Imani for The Challenge ❤️

GoldenRing#270

So caught up with the first three episodes... I liked it! I wasn't sure what to expect since I don't watch Love Island, but even with that long-winded first episode, I thought it was charming.

I've only seen Justine in clips before this, but I like her. Cely seems like a nice person, but her voice agitates me.

Only four of the guys thus far are cute. And, one of them, I can't stand from certain angles.

I LOVE Jessica. Personality for days. If she wouldn't get rocked, I'd want her on the Challenge. She's been taking L after L since she got there like you can't make that up.

Steph said with a straight face Megan and her bad BBL is hot... and that told me all I need to know about him. But he is kinda funny.

Curtis is messy. I hope Jack and him get into it idk Jack seems confrontational.

Johnny is far messier, and nothing that comes from his mouth sounds genuine at all. A perfect villain, and just got pissed again that they dropped him on 39. The gag of being on two shows airing back to back, they fumbled with his bag.

Imani is also really likable. How tall is she? Because Ray is barely taller than her and I don't believe he's 5'11.

Callum is a ******* and I actually find him endearing for whatever reason. These men got some personality and I can only imagine how edited down they'd be on some other show.

Steph, Imani, Curtis, Jack, Ray, and Jessica can come on the Challenge they've given me a lil something. I would've said Lisa but I feel like she's just gonna be passive-aggressive about Curtis playing in her face.

Episode 3 brewed so much drama, if it explodes I'll be sold. Still don't have the energy to actually watch Love Island.

Also, Cely and Johnny's reason for breaking up is so ....LMAO. That man do not gaf about it either, you cannot convince me otherwise. If I was Cely I would've threw a shoe at his head.

Tvandcoffee#271

For those who never watched Love island before, I apologize in advance for the nasty baby bird challenge on tonights episode. Idk why they still do that nasty challenge when nobody likes watching it.
