The Daily PollLIKE IT, LOATHE it, or not quite sure what it is, there’s no denying Love Island’s popularity.
The reality TV dating show - in which contestants couple up in different combinations – has been a big hit here and in the UK.
Tonight is the live final of the show, with the public tasked with voting for their favourite contestants and the last couple or single person standing in with a chance to pick up £50,000 in prize money.
But will you watch it all unfold, or have you no interest whatsoever?
Today we’re asking, Will you tune into the final of Love Island tonight?

No, no and no
@Barry Zuckerkorn: Yes, yes and yes
@Arya: arya serious?
More important things going on in the world. Why watch a load of air heads pretending their in a relationship to win obscene amounts of money. When I could be out there defending animal and human rights. I mean come on talk about first world problems
@Barry Zuckerkorn: I am pleased to smugly relate, that I haven’t a phequing clue what Love Island is.
I’d sooner fall down a flight of stairs!
@Kevin Geraghty:
@Kevin Geraghty: If there’s blame, there’s a claim and I’m a witness.
I could sue myself, and win. Probably!
@Kevin Geraghty: If you get a recording you’ve been framed will give you 250 smackers
@Kevin Geraghty: Id sooner be trampled by a herd of elephants
Went in to the butchers and asked for some Tripe. He gave me a dvd boxset of Love Island
@Paul: glad to know you eat and watch tripe.
@Arya: DVD. lol
Mauras voice goes through me like an a$$ cart through a haulting site.
@Billy Davies: brilliant
@Billy Davies: aww leave her alone . She’s very funny
@Billy Davies: comment of the week,no further discussion needed.
@Billy Davies:
She’s no fool though….
@Billy Davies: I believe you’ve won the internet today. Well done
@Joan Kelly: shes common as muck.
@Joan Kelly: Yes, because talking about men giving her f**ny flutters is just hilarious
@Nial D: You’re sullying the good name of muck.
I’m baffled by it’s popularity (I cannot get over how utterly boring, immature and fake it is) but it’s a massive earner for ITV and the contestants. The Guardian did an interesting piece on why people are so into it including a parent, a teenager and a psychologist. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/jul/28/nosheen-iqbal-love-island-reality-television-itv-teenagers
@Smidgen Dublin: How do you know??
@JeremiahMcDonagh: How do you not know?
Never , ever watched it , total manufactured trash TV.
@Aine O Connor: so you’ve come to this opinion without watching it? It’s funny and a bit of escapism.
@EillieEs: No it’s not ,because for people like me who don’t watch it , we have to endure listening to every section of the Media endlessly discussing it.
@EillieEs: Ive seen enough to know that borderline re tarded meatheads and wh ores are in fact, not in the least bit funny
@Aine O Connor: I felt like we were missing something so we watched the first two episodes it’s not our thing.
In Orwell’s 1984 the ruling elite set up a ‘porno’ department that wrote low grade novels that were then given to the proles in the hope that it would keep them entertained. This worked to keep them in their mundane jobs and accepting of the low rank that they held in society. I don’t think that ITV are engaged intentionally in social engineering for the elite. However, somewhere along the line using rubbish like this as entertainment became the norm. Think of how the Kardashians have become internationally recognised. It’s pure escapism. Tomorrow morning we can all return to our tasks in making Bezos and Zuckerberg billions.
Just glad it over. No other degenerate reality show gets as much publicity across all the national media stations. I hear radio hosts talking and mentioning it across at least 6 radio stations daily in the car. It has literally being pushed on us by an excessive publicity campaign.
I’d rather eat flies off a dirty windowsill
@Shane Hughes: Go on!
Utterly disappointing that this tripe has such a following. A show that literally promotes promiscuity- its no wonder our society is in such a terrible state.
@Mike Conway: yep it’s a healthy sex life that’s ruining the country!
I will yeah
@Roy O’Rourke:
I’d rather sh!t in me hands and clap!
Would rather watch paint dry
Lots of cool people on here not watching a very popular TV show.
@Skimothy: I’m in no way cool and I won’t be watching.
No no no. Utter thrash
It’s a great way to dumb down a nation even further.
Nope
I’d rather set my face on fire and try to put it out with a fork.
Not at all
Fakest junk I’ve ever watched , first yr I’ve watched it god say prayers for me :(
@Karllye kripton: God is fake also…prayers are useless…just watch some cat videos on the YouTube…

@Robin Basstard: u ok hun x
@ThatGuy: clown
Vacuous crap for vacuous people.
It’s for individuals with boring life or no life
@Joseph Molloy: what exciting things do you get up to between 9 and 10 every night Joe?
It’s mad that those with such strong opinions are those that claim they won’t be watching it
I have a brain
Maura to win, she can trade in the hi ace
Won’t watch it because I never have and wouldn’t have a clue. Must have something going for it though based purely on the amount of social media commentary it gets. What’s odd is the amount of people who will start of by saying it’s mind-numbing rubbish or something similar, but as the conversation develops will chime in with “that eejit xxx should be gone long ago” or “xxx is a clown but will probably go far”. They seem to know an awful lot about mind-numbing rubbish they have zero interest in and never watch !!
Sex , drama and gossip , number one hit with women . no Sh*t .
Absolutely not pure crap!
@pete:
Absolutely, not pure crap.
Absolutely not, pure crap.
@Geraldine O’Riordan: I think we all kind of know what pete means but, thank you for demonstrating your superior intellect. I bet you feel smug and content now?
My mrs watches it , I’ve no choice ;)
No. I’ve got some paint I need to watch drying.
Embarrassing krap….who cares
@Jacqui Curtis-owens: classic Curtis.
I have a life
It’s mad that those with such strong opinions are those that claim they won’t be watching it
No. Never.
It’s mad that those with such strong opinions are those that claim they won’t be watching it
@Steph Ní Dufaigh: we read you the first time. You’re clearly as intelligent as the dopes on it
No im having my toe nails extracted with a tweezers.
Dumbest shite ever on tv
i just came in to say i wouldn’t even tune into this story about it.
I’ll be gouging my eyes out with rusty nails before I ever watch that sh*te!
Further proof that the Journal readership are very much out of touch with reality.
Whoever watches that crap is the lowest common denominator, utter shite
@Aido: oh I don’t know about that. Some people like the escapism it provides of an evening I guess. I don’t watch it myself, not my thing, I do however know people that watch it and some of them are quiet clever and intelligent. Is it good or bad?… I’m not qualified to say, never seen it.
This is quite possibly the most stupid poll ever on the journal. Seriously, I haven’t wasted 6 weeks of my life on this shit, why would I now? Equally if I had wasted 6 weeks, of course I would be watching!!
You’d had to force me violently to watch that crap
I’d rather pour molten plastic into my eye sockets
No,I’ll be watching the highly anticipated submarine racing instead!!
I stick to pornhub as that seems more authentic to me… And what will you do for TV???
but seriously…… no, yes, no, yes….
have your say
