Love Island's new format angered many viewers

Love Island viewers reacted negatively to a new season format where girls chose partners based on dating profiles, leading to widespread criticism. The new twist, revealed by host Maya Jama, involved girls selecting partners from glowing hearts displaying limited information about the male contestants. This departure from the usual first-impression coupling sparked immediate backlash on social media, with many fans calling the format "lame." Beyond the format change, some viewers also expressed frustration with the excessive screaming from the female contestants upon entering the villa, adding to the negative reception of the season's premiere.
