Love island USA is all the craze right now and rightfully so! The drama and excitement of it keeps me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next crash out my best friend Dina and I can talk about. As we were watching last night, getting so mad at Jeremiah and pausing every few minutes to stop ourselves from getting worked up, we realized talking about these people on love island who have no relation to us is helping us to stop gossiping about other people. gossiping is a Core part of the human experience and when we let it out on random reality tv stars, we are less inclined to talk about the people we know or vaguely know. You don’t have the energy for that because you spent all your time ranting with your friend about the new drama of the day on love island. messy reality tv is healing

i have been a long-time watcher of this ridiculous show, and LI UK combined with Ru Paul's Drag Race really helped me get through covid times in 2020/21 in general.
this summer, i have been watching the USA franchise on the urging of a friend. it's CRAZY and chaotic and entertaining, and for a while nothing seemed to be happening in the UK version in comparison. But i've come to realize the USA version genuinely stresses me out. i'm american, but i hate the way americans act and communicate as a generalized/homogeneous whole. i love the brits and their self-deprecating, cultural-specific gender expectations and slower mode of moving. it's still toxic ofc but i can distance myself from it and tell myself i will not encounter men like this because they have a way different accent (pleasant delusion!).....LI UK, you are my first true reality tv love, and i'm sorry i ever doubted you

yes! you can do both! yes i watched 2 seasons of the challenge, a season of southern charm, kept up to date with the traitors us & uk and watched too many instagram reels about love island all stars this week. but i also watched they shoot horses, don’t they? (1969 dir. sydney pollack). so it all evens out i think.

My close friend Ben came down to visit me in Philly back in December and for those three days, we kept talking about this song and it just perfectly captured what we were both going through and the in between of Philadelphia weather
