Love Island (2015– )
7/10
welcome back - I think...
7 July 2021
Nice to have LI back, after a year when there's been so little on TV. But after last night I feel I've heard it all: a guy should 'educate himself' if he doesn't like 'fake' women? This is the way we're going: whatever anyone thinks or does, if it's fashionable, you can't criticise it - can't even have a personal preference about it - and your opposition to it is down to either ignorance or, if you persist in it, the simple fact that you are a bad person and deserve to be Cancelled. It's not enough to obey Big Brother: you have to love him.

It was shocking watching Hugo go through his auto-da-fe with those women, where he confessed his heresy. The poor berk, he obviously didn't have any of them in mind or he wouldn't have said it - all they've done with their fussing is to draw attention to themselves, their vanity and their flakiness. Maybe it would have been more merciful to execute him at the end of it, as the Inquisition did; since he clearly wasn't going to get anywhere with any of them, even before this.

(For the benefit of anyone who does not understand historical or literary references, or satire - and I'm sure LI's audience includes quite a few of those - I'm not really suggesting anyone should be executed. It's just a joke. I have to stress the point in case I get cancelled myself...)
