<\/h2>\n\nHow Does Love Island Work?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Love Island is a show where a group of contestants are sent to live in isolation in a villa in Mallorca (summer) or South Africa (winter). Throughout the competition, each contestant must be coupled up, and the pair who emerges victorious at the end of the show wins \u00a350,000.<\/p>\n\n
\n As soon as the show begins, individuals are paired up based on their first impressions; however, as the show progresses, contestants are required to \u2018re-couple\u2019,<\/strong> meaning they can choose to either remain with their partner or swap for someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n Throughout the show, contestants are tasked with competing in a series of games and challenges<\/strong>, designed to test their mental and physical abilities. Winners of the challenges receive special prizes, including the opportunity to go on dates outside of the villa.<\/p>\n\n\n The show is famed for its unpredictability, where any contestant can be eliminated at any moment<\/strong>; either when left single after a re-coupling, by means of a public vote, or on some occasions, by the islanders themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n The popular show is now being aired in<\/strong> both winter and summer, and you can keep up with all the drama every night, except Saturdays, at 9pm on ITV2.<\/p>\n\n\n How Do You Get on Love Island?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n If you are looking to be on the next series of Love Island, the most important factor to getting on Love Island is being good-looking, having<\/strong> a chiselled body<\/strong> that will have heads turning, and a huge personality<\/strong> that keeps people wanting more.<\/p>\n\n\n It also helps to have a good social media presence<\/strong>, a celebrity connection<\/strong> in the form of a famous family member or friend to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n What Is Casa Amor?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n One of the most compelling parts of the show is the introduction to new contestants. While a small contingent of contestants initially enter the villa, it's the gradual increase of new arrivals (also known as ‘bombshells') that causes plenty of drama.<\/p>\n\n
\n Perhaps the best part of the show is \u2018Casa Amor\u2019. This throws the dynamics of the show into overdrive as the boys and girls are separated, coupled up or not. One of the groups remains in the villa, while the other travels to a new villa known as \u2018Casa Amor\u2019. A slew of new contestants are then added into the mix, changing minds and opinion of the incumbents and the watching public at home.<\/p>\n\n
\n Casa Amor tends to last four days, but its impact can have huge ramifications over the entire show. Once the period ends, the incumbent contestants have a choice to make: either stay with their original partner or opt for their new squeeze from Casa Amor.<\/p>\n\n
\n It certainly makes for some of the best viewing in the show, especially with the pesky producers playing devil's advocate.<\/p>\n\n
\n Meet the Family\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n If you think meeting your prospective in-laws is awkward normally, then just think what the contestants will be going through come the day of the big meet, when the family have been watching all their daily antics.<\/p>\n\n
\n This episode usually takes place towards the final days of the show, making it an emotional moment as the contestants may have not seen their family for several weeks – depending on how long they\u2019ve been in the villa.<\/p>\n\n
