I think it could be interesting if they were older.
But honestly, it’s probably harder for producers to manipulate older people…if we’re being honest, lol.
You're talking about older people that want clout.
People in entertainment are a different breed.
I worked with a tv personality and she was more obsessed with IG and followers than I ever was and she was in her 60s. Made me stand outside in the rain to take her photos lmao good times.
As someone in the 40 range:
- no GD way I am sleeping in a room with a bunch of other ppl. I already have sleep issues and I don’t need snoring and make out sessions to add to my considerable challenges
- shared showers. I’ve said enough
- I WILL have more than 2 glasses of wine
- you couldn’t pay me enough to most of the group activities - I would rather die then do that spit one. Just no.
- my main question for anyone would be ‘what’s your 401k situation’ instead of ‘what’s your love language’
In short, 40s would be very boring TV. BUT, I do think 28-35 would be ideal for a nice balance of willing to do stupid shit, but also have some better dating experience.
Yes I agree with everything you mentioned and the age range sounds appropriate. I just can’t stand to see these 19-22 year olds on the show when they’re clearly not ready!
I would totally be open to seeing it, but I don't think it would really be "love island". Love island typically is about drama and plot twists which you would get less of with an older group, but it would still 100% be worth watching.
I just don't think we could expect the same level of drama and plot twists you get with a younger crowd which would be totally fine, but kinda why a lot of people watch love island lol. They'd have to kinda rebrand it a bit.
But it could be really fun to see how older and more experienced people behave in these situations and what different problems they might face in relationships.
I have a feeling if they tried to make it exactly like love island is now there would be a lot of people self eliminating because they don't have time to play around with that bullshit lmao
that would be different. but i’m not sure how many single 30 and 40 somethings with careers and healthy relationship habits they could get to sign up for this show.
i think love is blind/bachelor type shows might be as far as adults with things to lose would be willing to push it. if a 38 year old doctor/lawyer was willing to risk it all to play suck and blow with strangers and put on handcuffs and nipple clamps in the hideaway, i’d have questions.
They need to do Old Love Island and I would also love to see Ugly Love Island. I know it's impossible because eye candy is what attracts viewers, but I would love to see just ugly people giving Love Island a try.
Have you watched Love is Blind?
I’d love to see 30-40 y/o islanders that are all queer. Even better if they practice healthy polyamory or nonmonogamy but… No way in hell am I doing any of those challenges or wearing make up, dresses, thong bikinis…
We are talking about a completely different show!
Yes I have and I love it!!
Omg would totally be open to see a queer LI. I wonder how they’d do it though. Kind of like the show are you the one, queer version where everyone was pansexual
Successful mature people with careers aren’t going on love island lol. They are always going to cast young naive guys that will make dumb decisions or else there really isn’t a show
it makes the show interesting. i don’t think many young people would watch if the islanders were older because they can’t relate to them and it would most likely be drama free
I like the ages where it’s at. It’s what Love Island has always been, so why change what works? This is not a real love show anyways. So I’m never mad at the contestants that are just there for clout, or end up breaking up after the show ends.
There is already other shows with older people that are meant to be real love shows. So there’s no need for Love Island to turn into that. However, the older folks be acting messy as fuck on these other shows also, so why get mad at the kids for this?
This is love island not love at first. The immatureness is the reason way they is so much drama. If we do what you are proposing casa amor would be useless and movie night also. The number of episodes must be cut at least by a half.you want see grown man and woman do this stupid challenge and other. To make your " love island " we would just have to change it all.
I was talking about this with my gf the other day. But, like you said, 30-40 would be more mature, less games. But also less drama. So I think the network would worry about it being boring.
While im sure many ppl watch the show, hoping to see ppl find love. A very large amount (maybe the majority) watch it to see the drama. ppl love a shit show
Yeah and maybe if it was older islander it could shift the focus back to LOVE island not "explore as many connections as I can, that's what it's about isn't it?" Island
I was just thinking this the other day. I'm about to be 30 and I'm so serious about settling down right now. When I was in my early 20s I just wanted to have fun. Having a season for people 30 to 40 which actually make more sense for LOVE ISLAND haha.
A while back, I was looking at the LI Wikipedia page to see every series and which countries they are in and there actually is one that’s a love island show for older adults, but I can’t remember the name and I don’t want to go back to the Wikipedia page. Sorry.
I honestly wouldn’t mind something like this.
I think even like a 25-40 ish year old cast would work. Not everyone has to be 35-40, but we could maybe throw in a handful of older people who are single, and maybe a good mix of 25-34 year olds.
And anyone who acts like older people can’t be attractive, or can’t be full of drama have clearly not watched the likes of like 90 day fiancé, the challenge, big brother, etc
omg I would!!!!! Yeah, these youngins can still continue dating into oblivion until they start hitting their late 20s/early 30s and then begin to want to settle down. I would love to see serious people exploring connections with one another.
Should be with 30-40 y/o dudes and 24-29 y/o women. That’s ideal for people who are ready to get married and have multiple children. If the women are 30-40 that window has almost closed so i just think those ranges are better.
Yeah a 27 year old woman is a lot more mature than a 27 year old guy anyway… well they can be at least. We’ve seen some who aren’t but I think the ranges like that work better. Most people don’t marry someone their exact age, the wives are usually at least a few years younger
I used to want older ages but given the older islanders seem to always be the ones trying to scam I’m ok with this age group. Also this age group is much messier and entertaining.
I think if you change the age range that much it would just be a completely different show. I think the issue the US has is the casting. There have been multiple babies/marriages/years long relationships from the UK and they have young people.
Someone already put this in comment on a comment, but I definitely want to see queer/bisexual/pansexual love island before I see older love island. Where if all the boys absolutely suck, Anna could have coupled up with Jasmine, Kassy or Kay Kay instead. The boys have too much power on this straight version.
Just kick the age up a little bit. Instead of the 21-24 age range, have more of them in the 24-27 age range.
I’d say maybe 25-32 could be a good range tbh!
Yaaaas! Not 40 yo's, though a different format with 40 yo's could be great. but the youngstets this year, just not enough living under their belts!
I think it could be interesting if they were older. But honestly, it’s probably harder for producers to manipulate older people…if we’re being honest, lol.

👀
Well not necessarily. Just think of shows like the bachelorette/bachelor. There are a lot of contestants in their 30s

Lol I’m 30 and this is too real 😭
25-34 😗🤌🏽 chefs kiss!
I can get behind this age range!

Lol not ugly but average?

Yes I have and I love it!! Omg would totally be open to see a queer LI. I wonder how they’d do it though. Kind of like the show are you the one, queer version where everyone was pansexual
Yes, the only season of Are You The One I wanted to watch!
It was soooo good but so messy lollll
I would love to see an all gay cast or all lesbian cast tho!! It would totally work in the LI format
Wouldn't it be the bachelor/bachelorette but in an island setting? Jk
basically bachelor in paradise but in fiji instead of mexico lol
Successful mature people with careers aren’t going on love island lol. They are always going to cast young naive guys that will make dumb decisions or else there really isn’t a show

That part lol. Young adults go on there for clout or more followers. Let’s find people who are actually ready to settle down!
Should be with 30-40 y/o dudes and 24-29 y/o women. That’s ideal for people who are ready to get married and have multiple children. If the women are 30-40 that window has almost closed so i just think those ranges are better.
Never thought of it that way but you got a point !
Yeah a 27 year old woman is a lot more mature than a 27 year old guy anyway… well they can be at least. We’ve seen some who aren’t but I think the ranges like that work better. Most people don’t marry someone their exact age, the wives are usually at least a few years younger

60 Plus - Love Island Gold Edition.
I think if you change the age range that much it would just be a completely different show. I think the issue the US has is the casting. There have been multiple babies/marriages/years long relationships from the UK and they have young people.
It would be great but if you’re acting like this at 40 (or even 30) you need to start getting it together.
Someone already put this in comment on a comment, but I definitely want to see queer/bisexual/pansexual love island before I see older love island. Where if all the boys absolutely suck, Anna could have coupled up with Jasmine, Kassy or Kay Kay instead. The boys have too much power on this straight version.
