LI AUS format

Okay so I originally posted in the LoveIslandTV forum not realizing there is a Love Island AUS forum:

My question is about format. It seems like the scheduling of recouplings and such is more predictable in AUS. It seems like the islanders know recouplings are coming, the host is always present for them, and there seem to be less fan voting situations where people are sent home or couples are broken up due to the public vote. There hasn’t been one “vote for your favourite couple” vote yet where a couple gets sent home (or the islanders have to send home one person from a couple). It seems like every week it’s just a predictable boys pick or girls pick recoupling with someone going home. Does anyone know why they changed up the format for LI AUS? I think there’s some great islanders but I feel like the change of format is taking away the shock factor a bit for me. I got to episode 25 or so and then just ended up spoiling myself because I found the format so predictable and was getting bored.

Was it more like the UK format? I’m just wondering why AUS changed up a winning formula. Seems like the UK had nailed down the format by s3 which was in 2016. AUS s1 was filmed after that in 2018 so just wondering why they changed it up.
