As the summer edition of Love Island draws to a close, it’s worth reflecting on what made this season so captivating and the unique changes they implemented. Now that Jess Harding and Sammy Root have emerged victorious, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and reminisce about the wonderfully chaotic season.
Right from the start, the show altered its formula by allowing the audience to choose the couples, instead of leaving it up to the boys or girls. Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde, the only original couple chosen by the viewers, managed to make it to the finale. The casting played a significant role in the season’s success, as they assembled a group of accomplished, intriguing, diverse, and slightly unpredictable contestants who seemed genuinely eager to find love.
It seemed that the Love Island fandom had a substantial impact on the show’s success, as the producers appeared to take fan suggestions seriously. However, the audience votes did lead to some unexpected pairings. Molly Marsh and Mitchel Taylor, for instance, seemed like a couple destined for the final, with fans even predicting their victory. Yet, Mitchel proved them all wrong by becoming possessive and clingy towards someone he had only known for three days.
Love Island Season 10 is undeniably one of the best seasons yet. The cast was perfectly selected, comprising an unhinged, funny, and entertaining group. It feels like the production team employed a whole new approach for this series, introducing numerous plot twists that kept us hooked.
One of the major highlights was the love triangle that formed when Zachariah Noble entered the villa as a bombshell. We saw Mitchel waking up Molly in the middle of the night, whispering that she should never talk to him again. It was bewildering to witness Mitchel’s unpredictable behavior as he completely ignored his promise the very next day and pursued Molly, despite her lack of interest. These early days left viewers struggling to comprehend Mitchel’s logic.
A few weeks later, one of the most shocking twists in recent reality TV history occurred. When Molly and Zach coupled up, Kady McDermott from Season 2 re-entered the competition. Kady chose Zach, which led to Molly instantly being asked to leave the villa. The entire scene was filled with gasps, disbelief, and contestants jumping out of their seats. It left audiences desperately seeking someone to discuss this explosive episode with.
The female contestants of this season stood out as some of the most likable ones in reality TV history. Whitney Adebayo, in particular, has been hailed as one of the most authentic contestants of the season. Friendships were formed, albeit with some fluctuations, and it felt like genuine connections were made.
Let’s not forget the moment when all the islanders began whispering amongst themselves, particularly when League of Ireland player Scott van der Sluis was accused of being a game player. While viewers only see an hour of their lives each day, they witnessed the others turning against Scott and making assumptions about his character. However, instead of escalating into a fight, Scott took a civil approach and invited everyone to the fire pit to address the rumors, instantly winning fans over.
Casa Amor, where male and female contestants are separated and introduced to new bombshells to test their faithfulness, brought fresh waves of drama each week. First, Molly’s return stirred up controversy online. Then, Tyrique, who had complained about missing the game, decided to remain faithful for the first time, only for his partner Ella to return with a different partner. The tension was palpable, leaving viewers wondering if the season’s most stable couple would part ways.
A fantastic addition to the season was The Grafties, an award show for the islanders that commended them for their flirtiness, sneakiness, bold moves, or confrontations with other contestants. Contestants who received less flattering awards attempted to defend themselves, only to have the producers play back incriminating footage. Truths were revealed, insults were thrown, and laughter and tears flowed freely.
Whitney and Tyrique’s rap song “Bad B*tch” from the talent show has become a viral sensation on social media, with users incorporating the iconic line “I can be a baddie and a lady” into their TikToks. This season and its contestants have constantly gone viral, with each couple amassing dedicated fan followings. With Jess Harding and Sammy Root emerging as the winners, they are set to embrace their moment in the limelight. Regardless of what lies ahead for them, whether it be fame and fortune or a fleeting moment of fame, this season will always be remembered as a golden one.
