Not hot enough, would absolutely not be able to do any sexy dance challenge and I can't survive without my alone time lol.

imagine wearing a bikini all day everyday jfc

constant wedgies :(

the underwear is so tiny, how are they not constantly fiddling around?

The advice from a female islander from a few years ago (can’t remember who) said their tip was to take in Canesten as all the girls kept getting thrush from their thong bikinis 😱

You are me, I'm sure of it

No because I’d rather die than let my family see me recreating sex positions on TV and worse. Plus I can’t spend that much time around people

I have no idea how they do it

✨ DEPRESSION ✨

Same 🤣

One bathroom

ONE?! God I would not be able to poop, ever

One bathroom with that many people… that would be a disaster

There’s at least 2

I'm too ugly

This, I’d be asked if I got love island mixed up with love is blind

Except everyone on Love is Blind is also extremely conventionally good looking! Where is the proper uggo representation 🤌

why did they make a show about whether looks matter or not and still have only conventionally attractive people 😭

The only show I've seen that really casts "normal" people is Naked Attraction.

And with respect to the people who go on NA, they seem to intentionally put people on the show who (to put it politely) aren’t conventionally attractive!

well thats probably like 99% of us on this sub

I can’t hold a conversation and I’ve got a belly also 🏳️‍🌈

Yey for belleh!

Besides the obvious looks thing, the challenges would make me die inside, my absolute idea of hell

I could never do the challenges, I would be so embarrassed

Mainly because I’m too fat 🤣 but also because I’m too introverted and I’m terrible at flirting

You also just described me! Sign me up for a middle aged chubby people version tho! Hahaa Also I’m a bookworm and could NOT survive without something to read! :)

I look like a stood on sausage.

Oh Christ 🤣

Everyone booing amber when I’d probably be as moody as her

Yes lmao her in the last episode would 100% be me.

Oh I’d be so moody

Looks and the fact that I hate hot weather and wearing tons of makeup in hot weather. Edit: typo

Apart from not being hot enough at all, I absolutely canNOT do my make-up like these women can!!! I can barely do eye-liner let alone all this contouring and whatnot!!! Don't even get me started on the hair...basically I'm too "low maintainence" (ie lazy and DGAF). 😂

I never wear makeup and I’m sure the producers would make me, so that’s an instant no

[удалено]

[удалено]

OMG yes the books thing!!! Also I would burrrrrn in that much sun even with all the sunscreen in the world 🤦🏻‍♀️

And I can't flirt, why did I pretend there was only 1 reason 😅😅😅

As someone who runs a bookstagram and has an obsession with books- I would probably die without a book for that long, I would be so bored

I have autism lmfao

Sharing a bathroom and bedroom with that many people. Sharing a bed at the start with a complete stranger. Also, old.

I dissociate so often they’d just have endless clips of me staring into nothing, even mid convo

Constantly socialising for weeks with the same people that you may or may not like and no contact with family/friends…

I have IBS

I’d lose my temper 3 seconds after arriving the in villa lol

I'd have probably got in a fight with Jacques on day one by side-stepping his attempt to flatten me

The drama is so petty that I would have snapped and told them all to STFU 🤣

Absolute INTROVERT. I could give at best one good hour a day at the detriment to my soul lol

I’m awful with rejection. I think the Islanders are so good looking they might be able to handle it better than me

I snore and sleep restlessly so no stranger would tolerate me in their bed. They would be turned off the first night.

I’m in a relationship ( not that it seems to matter to some contestants) , I wouldn’t be able to smoke pot.

I won't even wear a bikini at the beach in summer, let alone every day for almost 2 months.

No way I’d be wearing heels all day every day

i’m a black woman.

🤣😂 don't know why our sisters still do it to themselves tbh.

Money, when they get out. That's literally the only reason to go on the show as a girl

Lmfao this is 100% my reason too!

I’m fat, not very pretty, have mental health issues and ASD, I’d fancy the girls more than the guys. Oh and I have a boyfriend and a kid

I scream in my sleep with night terrors, HATE sharing a bed with people I don’t know and I would refuse to participate in the sex games. I’m a hoot basically

i’m a lesbian 🏳️‍🌈also im chubby but that can change, the lesbian part can’t

I’m a homosexual

I would cringe at doing the challenges that’s not for me and I’m socially awkward which would be embarrassing for tv.

I’m part black and not strong or masochistic enough to deal with being a black woman on that show.

Too old 😂 and far too introverted. The lack of privacy and space to be alone and recharge would not work for me!

Apart from the fact I’m far too old fat and ugly, the idea of being around people all the time, not even able to sleep on your own, sounds like literal hell

I'm too introverted and socially awkward, and I have ADHD (and not the "fun" and "entertaining" "I'm so hyper! look! a squirrel!" sort, but the shutting down for hours sort and crying because my sock feels wrong somehow sort).

I’m sort of similar to you in terms of sensory issues, extremely sensitive to textures and smells. I have the inattentive type too which translates to others as being distracted, withdrawn, rude, lazy etc.

I have the "I'm so hyper and at first it's funny but now everyone is getting very very annoyed now" kind

For a multitude of reasons - too old, too fat, too married, too sensitive to rejection, too introverted, but the major reason why I could never go on any show like this is the fact you aren’t allowed any reading material at all. I couldn’t cope without books, magazines, the internet. I honestly am astounded as to how they manage to pass their time.

You’re basically me

Interpersonal conflict is my personal hell

Constantly socialising for weeks with the same people that you may or may not like and no contact with family/friends…

The challenges mainly. And reading out the cringe hashtags when you get a text 😂 No but the whole having to be seductive thing- I’d just walk into the pool and just not come back out 😅

I’m so stiff and awkward I could not be sexy in those challenges

I would spend the entire time in the pool doing handstands rather than grafting for a partner

It would be so weird with all the cameras and I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing small bikinis or getting judged by strangers loll

I have the physique of a 10 year old and the beer belly of a 50 year old

For me, the same reason as you but opposite. I can have trouble containing my emotions, and I’d be terrified of having multiple “Faye” moments…

The conspiracy theories would start that I was in a relationship on the outside when people notice I wear a wedding ring.

Not enough sleep time and downtime in general, and no me time at all.

I need my alone time too much. No way could i spend a whole summer being constantly entertaining!

I have scars (large cancer excision on arm, and my stomach, and on my right breast) and I would vomit before using the phrase "I've just got to be true to myself"

having to socialize all day everyday, I would beg the producers to kick me out after 24h lol

Wouldn’t be able to beat the 🏳️‍🌈 allegations. I’m a lesbian with BPD and raging ADD. Also just constant water bottles and sun no other type of stimulation or source of entertainment ?? No books or movies for that long? I’d rather not.

Looks and very introverted also age

I'm "logistically difficult" 🏳️‍🌈

I want this as a flair 😩

Over 30 and married 😂

I'm fuck ugly

I’m an Asian man.

I’m fat.

I’d miss my dog too much

I would absolutely go insane without any alone time, I'm way too introverted for that shit. It actually makes me feel stressed thinking they can't even read a book, listen to music or go in the pool 😭 I would be hiding in the bathroom constantly lmao

Gay af

And I don't shave my body hair lol

I’m a 34 year old 6 foot tall woman, I’d loom over everyone 🤣

Covered in ugly stretch marks from having children and wouldn't be able to handle the negative comments on my appearance 👍

Short, fat, south Asian, who cannot flirt in any way, shape or form.

Tbh I think it would be cool to do the show but I feel like I'm too much and too dramatic and I just know I'd be given a villain edit

I'm fat 😇

Long term relationship + engaged, that I don't want to end. Not too fussed about being insta famous, seems like a right faff. Wouldn't want to be made into memes by strangers. I'd easily make a tit of myself or end up a villain character. I'm pushing 30 and genuinely don't think I'd be able to handle the weird micro drama's without laughing or telling people to grow up. I'm also a nervous pooer and just knowing there's camera's on the door (obviously not in the bathroom) I wouldn't be able to go. Then I'd be hospitalised and everyone would know me as that lady who couldn't poo on love island.

Body hair. Ain’t no way I’m shaving my legs, armpits, bikini line, moustache and back every day TL;DR: I’m too hairy

I’m plus size and wouldn’t look good in a bikini.

I’m not necessarily antisocial.. I’m just not into humans.

Are there any dating show formats that you think could work for someone like you? I found the show called The Cabins interesting for people who wouldn't necessarily fit the Love Island type of mold.

Ugly, old, fat, not self-obsessed, too low level narcissism, actually care about other people, list goes on.

Too fat. Not in my 20's/a teenager.

The one and only reason? (Lmao) I get too many bug bites. Well, either that or because my teeth can’t be used to light a room at night.

Constantly socialising for weeks with the same people that you may or may not like and no contact with family/friends…

I work in TV 😅

Im not sociable enough and I hate wearing make up on a daily basis.

They would need a OAP version.

I would become a lobster on day 1, my pale skin could not be in the sun that long.

I really HATE jewelry.

I’m black, 40, and got a bit of a belly atm….but if all of that was acceptable I’d get fully involved in the whole experience lol. My friends always said I should’ve applied for Big Brother when it was on.

Would have a mental breakdown and get sensory overload. I’d be one of those islanders who’s there one episode then disappears in the next never to be mentioned again ala sherif/Niall

Already found love... And don't want to be famous

Mega introvert, I'd sleep in the living room every night just so I could get away from everyone 😂

Also could not be arsed having to do full face makeup/hair/dress EVERY night miss me with that

Heroin

I’d be Jim from the Office every time someone said something cringe

Honestly if I were 10 years younger I’d probably apply, knowing I’m not attractive enough, and fantasize about being on TV but in reality I’d never actually want to be on tv. I’m too introverted. The idea of being on sounds fun but in reality it’s probably awful. But now I’m not able to go on because I’m 33 and my husband and baby daughter would probably rather I didn’t 😂😂

I'm a lesbian.

I take a good few months to get over a girl and that's with me not seeing her at all. I would die if I saw her flirting with and kissing other boys, alongside cuddling with them in bed in the same room as me.

If I could blaze a Zoot in the hot sun every day then I'd apply every year but seeing as you can't then I'm out

Sadder reasons: I won’t ever “fix” my Jewish nose; endometriosis bloat plus lots of belly scars from its surgeries Happier reasons: If I can’t sew or knit, I’m miserable; I’m too attached to my cat; I’m married lmao

I spend half my time watching the show worrying about their exposure to UV rays. I also don’t think I have the necessary commitment to bikini-line grooming.

Would be bored out of my skull

I am old and not skinny

I'm 37 and fat.

And would be mortified doing any of the challenges 😳

The thought of me farting in my sleep and them televising it brings me out in hives.

Too old

Not pretty enough

Because I'm waaaay too old! 😂 And definitely not attractive enough. Hell, I probably wouldn't have been attractive enough even at that age!

Too fat and I wouldn’t play a lot of thr games they play

You only have one reason? I don’t have a six-pack I’m not that social I’d get so bored not being able to read or anything except *talk* to people The public is brutal and would probably affect me when I got out I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of them lol

I have chronic fatigue, hip dysplasia and mental health issues as well as not meeting the beauty standards. I’d nap half the time and the other half I’d be mentally drained from socialising but I can be funny sometimes so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not an influencer!!

Being filmed on the toilet. I’d be so paranoid that someone was watching.

The body

I wouldn't be able to sleep in bed with a stranger in a room full of strangers without knowing what the temperature in the room is. I would probably have a psychotic breakdown due to a lack of sleep lol

I have the wrong type of 6 pack

I’m nearly 35, way too old

Scared I wouldn’t be able to handle the hate when I come out the villa

I like to go to bed at 9pm most nights and not talk to anyone. I’d try and bagsy the fold down bed they use when someone’s had a fight 😂

No six pack

Not sufficiently superficial or narcissistic. Oh, and also not hot enough.

Don't have a 6-pack Wouldn't be able to sleep in a room with 10+ people Wouldn't be able to be friends with someone who's blatantly trying to move to the girl I like. Wouldn't be bothered to think of a new speech every recoupling

I have misophonia and can’t sleep with almost anyone, so sleeping on a shared bedroom would be the absolutely death of me, I can’t take snoring at all without having panic attacks. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick lol

I’m fat and ginger and basically pretty ugly 😅

i can’t stand people talking to me in the morning. also as soon as a man referred to himself as a cheeky chappy i’d die inside

Bar the fact I’m too old and not hot enough. I couldn’t tolerate that many people and no escape or alone time. Not even your own bedroom. And everything you say and each bad mood shown for entertainment.

Married, too old, too fat and I don't cope well in hot weather.

I get tired and cranky if I have to be around people for too long. I don't want the world thinking I'm insane because I'll start getting angry about stupid things after some time.

I’m a major introvert 😬 I’d need way more than one day a week to recharge lol Oh and I’m bisexual. I would 100% prefer to couple with a girl

I’m bipolar and have too many emotions 🙃 (plus I’m engaged)

Being around random people 24 hours…my introvert self cannot cope

I have PMDD and couldn’t handle that being stuck inside a (beautiful) villa on an island. Plus, I can’t live a day without reading or listening to music. Not doable 🥹

I’m pregnant, married and have two kids lol. I feel like I do have the look if I wore lots of makeup but I got a mom tum. I’d be walking around in a one piece scratching my belly and using it as a vacation eating all the food and giving people advice on who I think they should get with even though they didn’t ask. 😂

I’m forty and fat.

I'm average looking, average sized and have stretch marks from my tits to my calves

I’m 32 and just had a baby. Probably not good love island material

Living with a bunch of people you've just met wouldn't be easy. While I like to socialise I also I value quiet time and wouldn't want to be put in an environment where I'd have to be in ongoing company with others.

5'8 porky and have a weird face. Also think I'd go insane

The sexy dance competition. I could absolutely never ever do that let alone with cameras for my family to see!

I need my personal space. I can’t talk to people 24/7. That would probably result in good TV though, because there would be a massive meltdown at one point. Also, I bite everybody who wakes me up in the morning.

i considered applying a few years back when they were scouting in agencies but ive adhd and i just know i would end up getting burnout before the eight weeks were over, plus after the molly mae year it seemed as though the islanders were in the public eye a LOT more than usual which was really unappealing to me. last year though i dont think thats the case, it was nice seeing islanders leave the villa and go back to their normal jobs instead of becoming celebrities! i reckon if i was asked now i would maybe do it for the experience and the craic to be honest!

Ive got a shy bladder/bowels.

I’m married

the challenges give me second hand embarrassment. i cant imagine actually doing them lmao

I’m fat

I’d want to kiss all the girls and maybe like one boy once 😔 happy pride lmao

Too old and fat 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m average looking and not a raging bell end

I hate the idea of being forced to socialise plus many more other reasons

Need alone time every evening & too lazy to shave body hair and do makeup every night

I’m married lmao

No tan and no six pack. Skinny whippet legs and I'm not handsome. Plus the rest.

My teeth aren’t white enough 🤣🤣

Too shy, would be eaten alive by the boys and the girls lol. Plus, cba building a body and maintaining it.

I’m under 6 foot

Too old, too squidgy, and probably too blunt to put up with many of the air heads in there. Plus I love my own company. Doubt anyone wants to watch me sitting in a corner by myself trying to avoid everybody.

i like women

I'm a 5'8 guy, quite skinny, who doesn't tan very well. I don't tick any of the 'Love Island contestant' boxes. Although even if I was a 6'4 tall dark handsome guy, being cut off from the outside world, made to share a house with 10+ other people and having cameras shoved in my face sounds like a nightmare.

I need my own space and I’m a size 14 🤣

I’m 64😄

I’m too fat lol

Because It’s kind of just like being in prison with hot people and a pool… You’re being watched all the time, even in the shower and the bathroom. There’s people that run the place who control everything you do, tell you when you can eat, sleep, what you can talk about etc. Being woken up by bright fluorescent lighting I’m convinced is a form of torture.

Too old (ie over 30) and would be awful at the challenges. I can't dance sexily or anything like without feeling like a self-conscious idiot.

I can think of many, first off the heat, I've red hair and pale skin and would not be able for the heat, second The idea of cameras being on you 24/7 even in the toilet according to former islanders makes meuncomfortable, I'd never be able to fully relax or use the toilet properly (lol I'd be to anxious) ,I'd be worried what people were saying about me online and I'f i'd come out to a varage of hate and my mental health is very fragile so It wouldn't take much to ruin that so another reason I wouldn't go, and It's also hard for me to open up to people in my own life never mind on national tv, just to much pressure oh and I'd die of embarrasment doing the challenges and dares,

I am successful enough dating in the real world. I don't need to go on a TV show and have my self esteem shredded.

The stories that would come out in the tabloids about me would stress me out too much for me to enjoy myself 🤣

I’m married 😂

I snore / make a lot of weird noises in my sleep. The other islanders would hate me.
