Love Island made its triumphant return today as 11 contestants unpacked their bikinis and swim trunks and committed themselves to a summer of love, lust, or at least a lot more Instagram followers.
Nothing much happened, except the singletons coupled up, played some Incredibly Year Eleven Energy truth or dare games and learnt that a new arrival would enter the next day to shake everything up.
And with Love Island back, Love Island commentary too returned with a force. ITV hub crashed, Twitter became a frenzy and the nation united to decide who they loved, who they hated, and what they thought of people’s outfits.
It has been, of course, brilliant already. Here is a taste of some of the best reactions and memes to come out of episode one of the hit show:
Some people fancied Brad:

Brad's blue eyes, discuss #LoveIsland https://t.co/Ib1lNv5kD6— Love Island (@Love Island) 1624914405
Others were concerned about Hugo not being picked by any of the girls and compared him to Dr Alex from 2018’s series:
hugo darling you’re the new dr alex i’m so sorry #LoveIsland https://t.co/1fxLPxlPW2— leah🧍🏻♀️ (@leah🧍🏻♀️) 1624914374

Many were disappointed by the show’s slow start:

And everyone thought, correctly, that the memes were the best part of the show:

Love Island is on every single weekday night at 9pm on ITV. What did we do to deserve such joy?
