Format
editLove Island is a reality television program in which a group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders", are living in a villa in Fiji. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the Islanders must be in a relationship with another Islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but they are later forced to "re-couple" at special ceremonies in which they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone.[2] While in the villa, each Islander has his or her own telephone, with which they can contact other Islanders via text and can receive text messages informing them of the latest challenges, dumpings, and re-couplings. While the Islanders might appear to have unmediated access to the outside world, they are limited in both their alcohol consumption and communication with the outside world.[3]
The Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date.[4]
Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped", for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app. During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win.[4]
At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public receive two envelopes, one for each partner. One envelope contains $100,000 and the other contains nothing. The partner with the $100,000 envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment.[2]

Notes
edit- ^Note 1 : Liv entered the villa after the initial coupling and was told that after twelve hours she would be allowed to steal a guy from another girl. Liv decided to steal Rob, leaving Leah single.
- ^Note 2 : Andrea & Nicole had to recouple with one of the boys who offered to be their partner. Hakeem, Kendall, Kordell & Rob volunteered leaving them to be considered for the recoupling. Andrea & Nicole chose Rob & Kendall respectively, leaving Leah & Hannah single.
- ^Note 3 : America voted for their favorite couples. For being the newest bombshell, Miguel earned immunity from the first public dumping. Liv was also granted immunity due to Miguel choosing her at the re-coupling ceremony. The four safe boys then had to decide which vulnerable boy to dump, choosing Hakeem, and the four safe girls had to decide which vulnerable girl to dump, choosing Andrea.
- ^Note 4 : America voted for the couple they thought was most compatible. The five safe couples then had to stand behind the vulnerable islander they wanted to save. The two islanders who received the fewest votes would be dumped from the island. Cassidy & Nigel received the fewest votes, dumping them from the island.
- ^Note 5 : As the final part for the Casa Amor twist in week 3, Casa Amor and the villa held two separate re-coupling ceremonies for the original islanders to choose whether to return to their previous partner or pick any new partner. Any of the 12 new islanders that remained single by the end of either ceremony was dumped from the villa. However, if one of the 12 original islanders remained single at the end of both ceremonies, they would still remain in the villa, but as a single islander. Destiny, George, Ignacio, Jacobi, Jalen, Josiah, and Sydney remained single at the end the night, and were all dumped from the villa.
- ^Note 6 : Harrison entered the villa after the re-coupling and was told that after 24 hours he would be allowed to steal a girl from another guy. Harrison decided to steal Sierra, leaving Caine single and dumped from the villa.
- ^Note 7 : America voted for their favorite couple. As a result, the three couples with the fewest votes were all vulnerable. The four safe couples had to vote for who was the most compatible. The safe couples chose Aaron & Kaylor as the most compatible couple. As a result, Daniela and Sierra were both dumped immediately, but being the newest bombshell, Kassy got to choose which of the remaining vulnerable boys she would like to couple up with. She ultimately chose to couple up with Rob, leaving Harrison dumped.
- ^Note 8 : America voted for their favorite couple. The four couples who received the most votes were granted a spot in the final. The two vulnerable couples who received the fewest votes were dumped from the villa.
- ^Note 9 : America voted for which couple they think should win Love Island. The couple with the most votes were declared the winners of Love Island and received the grand prize money.
