It has been a few months since Love Island UK’s eighth season came to an end, but the contestants are keeping busy with their new adventures, including winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu who is currently training for next year’s Dancing on Ice.
Wherever life has taken them since, it is unlikely that of the islanders will forget their time on the show any time soon, especially not with the memes shared across Twitter that perfectly sum up their life in the villa, from the early morning coffee to the late-night encounters captured with night vision cameras.
The Talent Show
The Talent Show is a low-key event that occurs in the villa every season, offering light relief following the explosive aftermath of Casa Amor. It is an opportunity for islanders to show a side to them that cameras might not capture day to day, as well as having a good laugh with their friends.
This meme doesn’t necessarily sum up villa life on the whole, but it does showcase a lighter element of it. By hilariously editing Millie Court into this date scene, the meme shares in the good-natured banter that occurred in the villa during her performance in season 7.
The Heart Rate Challenge
The Heart Rate Challenge is a highly anticipated event that has potential to disrupt life in the Love Island villa. Season 8’s challenge caused arguments between couples whose partner’s heart rates were raised by other people, but like the Talent Show, it is also an opportunity for the islanders to showcase a different side to themselves.
Memes comparing Curtis Pritchard to King Julien from Madagascar hit the internet following his iconic routine in Season 5. They might not totally sum up villa life, but they do reference an important part of it and evidence how these moments can make Love Island history.
Night Vision Vibes
What happens in the dark is as important to villa life as the daytime antics. While some use this time to get their beauty sleep, or to get to know the person in bed with them, other uses it as an opportunity for quiet contemplation away from the drama that comes with the daylight.
This hilarious meme posted on Twitter perfectly sums up the latter as it theorizes what thoughts were running through Chris Hughes’ head during this night vision moment in season 3. Despite it referencing his specific circumstances, it is something everyone can relate to, both inside and outside the villa.
The Game Playing
It wouldn’t be Love Island without someone being accused of game playing. The aim of the game might be to find a connection with someone, but at the end of the day it is still a competition with a cash prize. This makes contestants wary of each other’s intentions and greatly impacts life in the villa whenever tensions are brought to a head.
This meme, posted in response to Andrew Le Page spreading misinformation in season 8, reflects this element of villa life. The Leonardo DiCaprio meme format insinuates that his actions were deliberate and that he was enjoying playing the game, as the other islanders initially believed to be the case.
The Morning Coffee
The morning coffee is a vital attribute of life in the villa. Every day, the girls take to the terrace for a debrief, armed with coffees prepared by their partners. When an islander makes someone a coffee, you know they’re locked in (for now). Not receiving a coffee is often seen as a slight, as was the case in season 8 with Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti. But that is not the only time the coffee conversation has contributed to conflict.
In season 5, Amy Hart famously confronted her partner Curtis Pritchard about their lack of morning cuddles, to which he explained that he liked to be the one to make everyone coffee. This meme hilariously pokes fun at this interaction by relating Curtis to a barista. Although this meme is about their situation specifically, it reflects just how important that morning coffee is to villa life.
The Language
An interesting sociological element of villa life is the language that almost all contestants adopt during their time on the show. Whether it’s talk of ‘grafting’ (the work put into wooing someone), or someone’s ‘muggy’ behavior (treating someone like a fool), contestants from all walks of life seem to converge to this lingo the second they enter the villa.
One phrase that sums up this element of villa life is ‘it is what it is’ (the Love Island take on ‘que sera, sera’), which is usually uttered a significant number of times in each episode. This meme perfectly reflects this in a humorous reaction to Tommy Fury’s entrance in season 5.
The Friendships
The aim of the game might be to find love, but naturally, close friendships are made along the way. In Love Island season 8, Ekin-Su controversially announced that she wasn’t there “to make seasonal girlfriends”, but inevitably formed close bonds with her fellow islanders. It’s not just the girls who get close – a number of iconic bromances have also blossomed over the years.
This meme shared on Twitter, showing Chris Hughes next to his ex-partner Olivia Attwood whose face has been replaced with Kem Cetinay, humorously reflects their relationship. It perfectly sums up the impact of such relationships on life in the villa, as their bond caused tension within their couples, but also was a source of entertainment for other contestants, particularly during the talent show where their rap double act was formed.
The Casa Amor Fallout
Casa Amor is a season highlight among viewers as the drama and tension that ensues is always guaranteed to shake up villa life. Post-Casa life is particularly hard for the newcomers, who are forced to navigate a new and often unwelcoming environment whilst witnessing the fallout.
The latest season was no exception. Although this meme hilariously references a shocking Casa Amor moment that shook up the villa in season 8, the format perfectly sums up the insider vs outsider dynamic that always exists to some extent following the infamous challenge.
The Bombshells
Bombshell islanders have explosive impacts on villa life. A good bombshell shakes things up, steps on toes and stirs up the drama to keep things entertaining for viewers at home. One of the most effective bombshells in the show’s history is Ekin-Su, who successfully brought the chaos in season 8, divided opinions, then went on to win the show alongside her partner Davide.
This popular meme format has been used numerous times in reference to various situations involving Ekin-Su, but it perfectly sums up the impact of any successful bombshell upon villa life.
The Head Turning
Head turning is an almost guaranteed element of Love Island life that directly and indirectly impacts everyone, thus changing the dynamics within the villa. Producers test couples by introducing new islanders that meet their ideal types. These tests can make or break a relationship.
This meme posted on Twitter jokes about Toby Aromolaran, whose head famously turned not once, but five times in season 7, twice by his ex, Chloe Burrows. It hilariously summarizes this element of life in the villa, but also alludes to the family dynamics that form throughout the series by depicting Toby as a child and Nkazana Kamwi as the mother figure.
