ITV2 - Love Island 11:34 - Jun 5 with 10698 views | christiand | Just putting it out there to see general consensus. A series that reflects all that's wrong with modern society. Youngsters that are all fame hungry, but really have no specific skills to achieve it through talent alone so have to resort to nudity and fumbling around under the covers on national TV to get recognition. Just find it the lowest form of TV, but it gets so much coverage in the media, just believe it sends out the wrong message. Just me getting old and being a prude? | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 11:36 - Jun 5 with 5299 views | Marshalls_Mullet | I guess its just the latest incarnation of the Big Brother format really. I think those type of vain, fame hungry people have always existed, this is just the latest outlet for them. Try not to assume / generalise that it reflects all of modern youth. | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 11:37 - Jun 5 with 5290 views | chicoazul | I have never watched a minute of it but each generation looks at the art consumed by the generation or two that come after and turns its' nose up. Reality TV has been around for over 20 years now so it isnt really a modern society thing, and people have been using TV to get famous for many years before it. As far as I understand it it's just light hearted entertainment and there's nothing wrong with that. | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 11:39 - Jun 5 with 5291 views | DanFord | You are not alone. It's just another depressing march towards a world that nobody will like the look of. Years ago the famous were people that had significant talent in areas of entertainment, musicians, singers, comedians, sports stars and so on. These people were paid handsomely and enjoyed by millions. Now you can become very rich on YouTube by going viral and so people create videos with quite ridiculous nonsense to do so, while other people know that they only have to get their bits out on TV and they are set for life with a presenting job, book deal and so on. Each to their own, but it's sad that youngsters 'own' is lowest common denominator and that they then look up to these idols - as you say talentless people who are fame hungry. | |

The problem though sadly is that the current platform giving these people exposure, leads to many other young people seeing them as idols to emulate, which unnaturally creates even more vain, fame hungry people, who in turn produce more. It's an unstoppable snowball now. | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 11:40 - Jun 5 with 5273 views | Kieran_Knows | Fcuking shambles of a show. Same category as the likes of Big Brother etc. I must admit, I always moaned about it, but had never watched it. So I sat with the missus one night last year to give it a try, and I was right, shocking. Never watched it again. R_I_G will be along in a minute though, he loves it. [Post edited 5 Jun 2018 11:41]

Good thing with twitter these days, is that you can mute certain words for a period of time so they don't show on your timeline. | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 11:49 - Jun 5 with 5208 views | DanFord | What is the most worrying part of all this is that ITV1 got just over 2 million viewers last night as ITV2 was getting almost 3 million. ITV1 showed The Queens Coronation in Colour, a fascinating insight into one of the biggest events in the history of this country over the last 100 years. That gained less interest than some talentless egomaniacs in swimsuits introducing themselves to each other and presumably saying which one they fancied. That's 2018 people. | |

I'm all for conservatism but not in young people's art and tastes. What they like should annoy the rest of us, that's the point. | |

In the days of the internet and being able to search for anything you want in that respect, who really needs to see people in swimsuits on TV. Secondly, when the person wearing the swimsuit is thick as pig mess, does that really do it for people? | |

Some of the comments on this thread dont show people in a good light. Getting all snobbish about what entertainment people SHOULD be watching, and what the shouldnt. | |

A wholly unscientific sample of my friends on facebook suggests that it's not kids watching it, it's actual gown-ups in their 30s with proper jobs and children. | |

ITV2 - Love Island on 12:14 - Jun 5 with 5064 views | LankHenners | Another trash "reality" tv show. Different strokes and all that but there seems to be some deliberate cognitive dissonance going on when the likes of page 3 are condemned (for the right reasons) whilst millions of people (including those who appear otherwise well-adjusted) tune in to watch near-nude morons expose how thick they are, with the only real quality they have is being physically attractive in the eyes of horny tv producers. | |

Its a great way out of the Essex hood for many, too. I don't watch it though - only have room for in my tv trash diary for MiC and Real Housewives. | |
