Events
Love Island follows a similar format each season, with Islanders taking part in challenges designed to test their relationships and compatibility. New Islanders are introduced periodically, and viewers can vote for their favourite couples. At regular intervals, Islanders who are not in couples or those deemed incompatible by the public are at risk of being "dumped" from the villa. Recouplings also occur, where Islanders choose new partners, potentially causing drama and heartbreak.

Reception:
Series 11 is currently airing (as of June 8th, 2024) and has been well-received by viewers (source needed). Ratings information typically becomes available later in the season.
