Missing the Fun
Love Island fans have noticed a significant absence on the show – the challenges. While messy food and drink games are a thing of the past, viewers are longing for the fun segments where Islanders dress up in sexy costumes or reveal home truths in classics like Mean Tweets.
Too Much Drama
The real reason behind the challenges disappearing is the abundance of drama on the show. With so many storylines naturally occurring among the cast, there's no need to create additional conflict or tension through challenges. The focus is on airing the organic drama that unfolds in each episode.
What's Left?
Only two games have remained this year on Love Island – the heart rate challenge and Movie Night. The heart rate challenge involves sexy routines performed by the girls for the boys, while Movie Night exposes unseen scenes from inside the villa and Casa Amor.
This year's edition ended with a double dumping, causing friction in the group as true feelings came to light. Tune in to Love Island tonight at 9 pm on ITV2 for more drama.
