Behind the Screen: Love Island (USA) - 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.

Oh i guess Alison isn't a producer so Robyn can cast freely.

I think it will flop. 5 nights a week in the summer is too much for an investment for anyone with a life. Also, the episodes recap an entire day and it’s often drawn out and fairly boring. I wasn’t a fan of the UK version.

I don't see people caring enough to watch 5 days a week for just another typical dating show tbh. 

PinkRose#68

I dont see this not flopping in the US.

SeauxMtv#69

I can't believe people watch the bachelor that show is soooooo boring i don't see this show being like that

This show would never be as sucessful as the Bachelor franchise. In my opinion is way to many episodes a week for the US demographic

I see this being another Paradise hotel that got bad ratings 

gamer73#71

They should’ve done like Monday, Wednesday, Friday/Saturday lol

FromTheNorth#72

Honestly looks like typical US reality show casting, basic looking but still pretty attractive people who probably don't have much personality. I'll watch but won't get my hopes up

anon11231231231#73

So this is on and judging from the two whole reactions I saw on my feed the Category is.....flop

RLK2014#74

I just don’t get why it’s airing now like do it in winter at least it could maybe have a better chance but with BB on 3 days and live feeds people do not have time for a 5 day a week show. 

RMD1#75

Wasn’t that bad. I can see it getting kinda messy.

Just watched the first ep, it was alright. Very lackluster compared to the UK version, but it has potential depending on the newcomers they bring in throughout the show. The narrator was a snooze as expected, I can’t even remember one line he said the whole episode lol

gamer73#77

I liked it. The first episodes was better than season 1, 3, and the current UK season’s first episode of Love Island, IMO. 

JUMPY#78

Kyra reminds me of Jonna from The Challenge.  

lustblvd#79

Watched the second ep and I’m liking it so far! It’s definitely picking up as they all get more comfortable with each other. It should also pick up with arrivals and such as it’s only airing over five weeks compared to the UK one which starts in June. Curious if they are incorporating things such as Casa Amor into the US one? Probably not since the filming is so short but who knows.

RMD1#80
So far so good. I wish the rules would be more payed out. The confessionals seem realish .
dachallengefan4214#81

Caro went from my favorite to least favorite in three episodes. I find her so annoying lol.

anon333334#82

I watched the first episode & it was.....corny but not bad at the same time? Lol

Kyra & Alana >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Caro is bad as **** but I agree that she's annoying as shit from the first episode alone.

lustblvd#83

Yeah I had high expectations for Caro when the cast was revealed but Kyra is the true star of the show!! I have no idea how ratings exactly work but this is what the premiere’s ratings were:

The narrator is freaking hilarious and is a huge reason why this show is so fun lol.  

"THAT POOR GIRL HAS BEEN STANDING THERE FOR 24 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!" lmaooooooooooo

just follow the color key, it was an average premier so not good but not bad

For a channel like CBS it was low

Another show with the same storylines of straight people. Zzzzz

WESANDNANYFAN#88

omg i know someone coming on this show hahah

RMD1#89

This show is good. Better than BB this season.

challengefan96#90

I think it’s just going to start getting good now with the 2 new girls coming in tomorrow. 

JUMPY#91

This show is good. Better than BB this season.

big time!  idk if it's because BB is terrible this season or if it's because this show is just so good (or a combination of both) but I'm 100% enjoying this show WAY better than this current BB season.  This show is just so much fun.  The cast is fresh, dynamic and likable.  I love this whole cast and really don't hate anyone.  I can't wait to see what happens next!
