Nothing more nothing less
Apparently – defying all predictions that single people in the nascent post-pandemic era would be particularly horny – Love Island is currently somewhat lacklustre. But while the 2021 season may (or may not) become more interesting as it bores on, what we can always rely on to entertain us is TikTok. It has an array of aesthetic tribes to assess anthropologically. Hacks to give you healthier hair, a better life, happier houseplants, much improved meals and makeup – anything, really. Even hacks that simply make you more beautiful. But most entertaining of all are the ones about Love Island. Here are the absolute best.

The backstory – as one comment explains – is this: “[s]he’s mad that he said that in front of the boys because it’s disrespectful to talk about potential intimacy before it even happens”. Indeed. Watch it for instant empowerment.
We love Amy Hart, but it must be said that declarations of love are probably not best made with a snarl.
