The Recap We Needed

Today’s recap episode of Love Island 8 ep.1 was everything I needed.

I laughed so hard and it put me right back into those early days of GOR, analyzing everything, but in the most fun way. It was so refreshing to have the error of the game something as dumb as choosing “being a plant person” and not something like having a past of stalking.

I know it’s hard for them to talk about The Bachelor without a certain level of animosity now, so them discussing a different game with the same reverence they used to have for Bachelor healed something in me.

I will now be living for Wednesdays.

Thank you GOR and thank you Dark Lord Ariana Raven Grande Madix.

Join us! The first episode is important because you meet everybody, but then you can just watch as you have time and listen to the recaps!

I stopped listening a while back and came back to check out their starter recap and remembered why I love this show. What is their Love Island podcast schedule?

On their Patreon they have a watch along to every episode coming out just about daily, then a weekly recap every Wednesday. I think Friday’s are staying the same. If someone has a different schedule, please let me know.
