There has been a shift this season

No it’s not for diversity or preference reasons but this seasons is “boring” imo . Yes it’s only week 1.5 but I genuinely think that they just picked people who do not “gel” together as well. Alongside not picking people who are good for tv. I personally can see people from this season fitting into previous seasons however , it’s like they just put too many side characters into one season for me. Hopefully it will change soon 😊! They also need to spice up the villa because less than 1 million people tuning in for a nation wide reality tv show is poor😭✌️
Alongside this no one seems to be interested in getting into a relationship, yes it’s love island so people want fame but , there used to be a decent amount of people who genuinely went there for love it’s sad how the show has change since maybe 2022/23
