controversial subjects with the facts can be tense, but we are a sub-science here to make things make sense.

Today we are talking about love and jealousy, how it hacks your brain in the context of Love Island,

which is a very hit show that has a lot of interesting concepts. Why are we addicted to this?

What do the contestants go through? Does love at first sight actually exist?

We're going to dive into all this and more on today's episode of side notes.

On today's episode of Love Island. Well, I mean, obviously Love Island is over now. It just

had its finale. We won't spoil anything, but it's such a fascinating phenomenon, even if you

don't watch it, you know, trying to make people fall in love by just meeting them and putting

them on this island together. And we've been very addicted to the last two seasons. Of the American

one. Of the American version. We hadn't watched it before. But it brought up just so many

interesting questions that we thought there'd be some cool science behind it.

And love is fascinating.

And it kind of is a science experiment.

So for those who don't watch, like, it's hard to explain why it's such a hit.

I guess it's just because honestly, they're really psychologically messing with these people in a way that I'm

like is this immoral like ethical is actually ethically okay but yeah they

essentially bring people together like young hot singles and then they slowly try

to tempt them with like other singles they make like an uneven amount you have to

couple up to stay on the show. So

there'll be more boys than girls or girls than boys. And then you have this sort of like if you're not

chosen. Yeah. It's like sad like this really devastating way of getting sent home. It's very ruthless.

Like America votes who they like who they't like, and they tell them live.
