Further information: Love Island (American TV series) § Format

Love Island is a reality television program in which a group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders", are living in a villa in Fiji. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the Islanders must be in a relationship with another Islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but they are later forced to "re-couple" at special ceremonies in which they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone.[2] While in the villa, each Islander has his or her own telephone, with which they can contact other Islanders via text and can receive text messages informing them of the latest challenges, dumpings, and re-couplings. While the Islanders might appear to have unmediated access to the outside world, they are limited in both their alcohol consumption and communication with the outside world.[3]

The Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date.[4]

Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped", for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app. During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win.[4]

At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public receive two envelopes, one for each partner. One envelope contains $100,000 and the other contains nothing. The partner with the $100,000 envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment.[2]

Notes

edit
  • ^Note 1 : On Night 1, the islanders were told to vote for the least compatible couple. Anna & Bergie received 4 out of 5 votes. Afterwards, Anna & Bergie had to choose one of the two of them to dump from the villa. Bergie chose to dump himself from the villa, but returned the next day with new Islanders Carmen and Hannah.
  • ^Note 2 :   Carmen and Hannah entered the villa after the initial coupling and were told that after twenty-four hours they'd be allowed to steal a guy from another girl.
  • ^Note 3 :       For winning the "Mr. and Mrs." game, Hannah & Marco won immunity that kept them safe from being voted in the first public dumping. In addition, they also won the power to save another couple from the first public dumping. They chose Anna & Leonardo. America then voted for their favorite couples. Carmen & Victor received the fewest votes and were left vulnerable, as it was up to the other islanders to choose who would be dumped from the villa. The islanders chose to dump Victor.
  • ^Note 4 :   On Day 11, it was revealed that the islanders would recouple, with the new bombshells (Emily, Jonah, & Kenzo) getting first pick. At the end of the recoupling, Bergie was left single as Anna decided to voluntarily leave the villa.
  • ^Note 5 :       America voted for their favorite islanders. The top three boys and the top two girls who received the most votes were granted safety. As new islanders, Imani and Mike were immune from the vote. The three safe boys then had to decide which vulnerable girl to dump, choosing Emily, and the two safe girls had to decide which vulnerable boy to dump, choosing Harrison.
  • ^Note 6 :   As the final part for the Casa Amor twist in week 3, Casa Amor and the villa held two separate re-coupling ceremonies for the original islanders to choose whether to return to their previous partner or pick any new partner. Any of the 14 new islanders that remained single by the end of either ceremony was dumped from the villa. However, if one of the 13 original islanders remained single at the end of both ceremonies, they would still remain in the villa, but as a single islander. Allie, Ashley, Dasja, Najah, Brandon, Eddie, and Rob remained single at the end the night, and were all dumped from the villa.
  • ^Note 7 :       America voted for their favorite islanders. The top six boys and the top six girls who received the most votes were granted safety. The two vulnerable boys and two vulnerable girls who received the fewest votes were dumped from the villa.
  • ^Note 8 :     America voted for their favorite couple. The top four couples who received the most votes were granted a spot in the final. The two vulnerable couples who received the fewest votes were dumped from the villa.
  • ^Note 9 : America voted for which couple they think should win Love Island. The couple with the most votes were declared the winners of Love Island and received the grand prize money.
