Addiction is often treated with weaning, in which smaller doses of an addictive substance are given to a sufferer until they can do without it.
It is the same with Love Island. After weeks of watching people crack on and be ‘true to themselves’, fans have had to go cold turkey, forced to spend evenings socialising or getting an early night instead. It has been nothing short of hell.
So when it was announced there would be a reunion special two weeks after the final aired, in which we could all see what drama had ensued in the outside world and relive our favourite moments from the series, it was nothing short of a blessing.
The show aired last night and banished all our Sunday scaries but what did people make of it?
Many people were confused as to why all of the finalists were interviewed next to presenter Laura Whitmore on the sofa but Kaz and Tyler only got a short chat from their seats in the audience:
What are the rules for those who get to sit on the stage? Kaz and Tyler did the interview from their table, but Hug… https://t.co/a5lo6SvxSQ— Dionne Grant (@Dionne Grant) 1630874698
But they were excited that they have now become boyfriend and girlfriend:

People speculated as to why Jake was missing from the show. He said he was feeling ill:

Was Jake to embarrassed to show up #LoveIsland https://t.co/BS3DvX08tp— Tee (@Tee) 1630872162
And others wondered why some of the islanders weren’t getting much airtime:
so they brought Rachel, Chuggs, Shannon, Matt, Priya and Brett for decoration?? #loveisland https://t.co/PiRHeFFlKh— DarkestMuse (@DarkestMuse) 1630877668
Priya is now apart of production…?— vic (@vic) 1630877493
People loved that Shannon broke ranks and was the only islander who thought Millie should not have forgiven Liam when he cheated on her with Lillie in Casa Amor:

And people thought Dale and Abi looked good together:
dale and abi have more sexual tension then most of these couples #LoveIsland https://t.co/7nfTlvSAxk— Emma (@Emma) 1630876909
For some people, the show fell a bit flat:
The UK watching this reunion currently #LoveIsland #LoveIslandReunion https://t.co/0IPo4RwqZh— Jasmin (@Jasmin) 1630873828
The thing is there wasn’t really any DEEP heartbreak and everyone has moved on… there was no Amy and Curtis or Ambe… https://t.co/Q8ODkEplDu— Jason Okundaye (@Jason Okundaye) 1630875299
I wish this reunion wasn’t just built around revisiting everyone’s worst/most humiliating moments. It’s clear none… https://t.co/d72YZ6XlTA— ⭐ amy o'connor ⭐ (@⭐ amy o'connor ⭐) 1630876417
But everyone agreed that Chloe and Toby laughing through the show was hilarious:
#LoveIsland Chloe and Toby can’t be serious. Why are the laughing 🤣🤣 https://t.co/mB4yyoTIIw— Hannah_k (@Hannah_k) 1630874583
Toby and Chloe really are the cutest #loveisland https://t.co/o8icW849TE— 𝒥𝓊𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸𝑒 (@𝒥𝓊𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸𝑒) 1630875085
Love Island hopefully returns next summer in which, given how mad the world is becoming, we will probably watch it in a flood shelter in hazmat suits hiding from the Omega variant or something. See you there!
