Love Island Australia has officially kicked off and tonight we met the 10 sexy singles searching for love in Spain. Or money. Or attention. Or a free holiday, which tbh, I respect that hustle.

If, like me, you’ve never seen the show at all before, oh boy we were in for a wild ride. It’s Tinder on heat. Except everyone is walking around in bikinis and minimal clothing, and not on the lounge spilling Pad See Ew on themselves, which is what I’m usually doing when I’m on Tinder.

Anyway, here are the best tweets about the dumpster fire premiere of Love Island:

Many people had ~thoughts~ about the casting. 

But there was something kinda nice about watching hot people get rejected.

And, from ham sandwiches to a self-confessed ‘kangatarian’, there was some definite… ‘banter’ happening.

Mainly it was just a really confusing experience.

And don’t forget the show is on five nights a week. Strap in, folks, we’re just getting started.
