Format
editLove Island Australia involves a group of contestants, known as "Islanders", living in a villa in Mallorca looking to find love. To remain in the competition, the Islanders must be coupled up with another Islander, as the winning couple wins $50,000. On the first day, the Islanders couple up for the first time based on first impressions. However, throughout the series they may choose to "re-couple" and couple up with another Islander instead. Islanders may join the villa at several stages throughout the season.
Islanders who are single after each re-coupling risk being eliminated and "dumped" from the island. Islanders can also be eliminated via public vote, or through other means such as deciding among themselves who to vote off the island. During the finale, the public vote for a couple they want to win the series and the $50,000 prize. One person from the winning couple can then either split the money with their partner or keep it for themselves.
Season 5 was pre-recorded in August–September 2023. All previous seasons of the show across the franchise have aired on a short delay, but while filming was still taking place to allow for public votes. An ITV Studios executive producer stated the change in format was so that the season would air during late spring and early summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but be filmed in the Mediterranean when the weather was still warm. A select group of "Love Island Superfans" were given access to live video feeds from the villa to participate in elimination votes, challenge polls, and date selections.
Islanders
editThe first Islanders were announced on social media, one week before the premiere episode.[1][2] Of the islanders, Abby Miller has participated on tenth season of The Bachelors, whilst Lucinda Strafford was a contestant on the seventh series of the British version of the show.[3]

Notes
edit- ^Note 1 : On Day 1, the girls had the power to choose at the first Coupling.
- ^Note 2 : On Day 3, Lucinda chose to couple up with Nate, leaving Nakia single. Reid entered the villa and chose to couple up with Tia, leaving Trent single. Nakia and Trent were moved to the Waiting Room. All other Day 1 couples remained the same.
- ^Note 3 : On Day 12, Georgia entered the villa after the Re-Coupling, and she was given the opportunity to “speed-date” Nate and Ben. She then made the decision to couple up with Nate, therefore leaving Ben single and dumping him from the villa.
- ^Note 4 : The two couples with the least votes from the Superfans were vulnerable and the couples with the most votes had the responsibility to dump one of the vulnerable couples.
- ^Note 5 : On Day 13, Andy chose to couple up with Nakia, leaving Kale single and therefore dumped from the villa. All other Day 11 couples remained the same.
- ^Note 6 : On Day 16, Kale coupled-up with Tyra during their date and returned to the villa.
- ^Note 7 : For this re-coupling, the bombshells, Seb & Tasia, had the first choice.
- ^Note 8 : On Day 18, Chloe chose to couple up with Reid, leaving Tasia single.
- ^Note 9 : The three boys and three girls with the least votes from the Superfans were Vulnerable, and the three boys and three girls with the most votes had to dump one boy and one girl out of those who were vulnerable.
- ^Note 10 : On Day 19, as the only single boy, Trent chose to couple up with Savannah, leaving Tasia single and therefore dumped from the villa. All other Day 16 couples remained the same.
- ^Note 11 : On Day 22, Clint chose to couple up with Savannah and Harmony chose to couple up with Andy, leaving Nakia and Trent single and vulnerable. The other couples had to vote to dump either Nakia or Trent.
- ^Note 12 : On Day 25, in the final re-coupling, Andy decided not to couple-up and remain single. He, along with Harmony and Nakia who were not chosen by any of the other boys, were dumped as a result.
- ^Note 13 : On Day 27, the remaining couples had to choose the least compatible couple to be dumped from the villa.
- ^Note 14 : On Day 27, the final four couples had to choose between love or money. If they chose to take the money, they would immediately leave the villa with $20,000, and their partner would be dumped. Nobody took the offer.
- ^Note 15 : The couple with the least votes from the Superfans were dumped from the villa.
- ^Note 16 : Unlike previous votes, which were decided by the Superfans, Australia voted for the winner.
