Summary
In this episode we chat about Love Island, a UK based dating show which has become increasingly more controversial each series. We delve into the lack of diversity within the guests, the tragedies surrounding previous contestants and social media trolling. We answer the question of whether guests should now expect hate comments and where the blame lies for them.
Best served with wine + an open mind.

| 0:53.2 | She needs to, I think we need to work on building Shirley's confidence so that she can talk again. Yeah. Wait, I'm sorry. She actually, she's referred to now as the jungle scog.
