Me watching UK and USA everyday is like a second full time job..🤭💀

Wait, Love Island is a real show?!? I always thought it was a gag thing satirising reality tv?!?

@soldier2093
@

Also most these shows are not filmed in fiji but in tax havens in central América such as Panamá.

I recall how survivor was filmed there meanwhile it supposedly was being filmed in Bali.

Also, the whole crew stays at nice hotels and not in the wild as they tell you.

Big Brother been doing the same thing for like 25 years

Love island airs every day? How does anyone have time to watch that?

@trainzelda1428
@

You'd think you could still note what time it is on one device with a built-in clock and then see how much time has passed by the time you check it again

@theglem4
@

Wends? This is unacceptable. Delete this and re-upload fixed version with a written apology letter to every viewer.

@tapu_
@

Wait, Ian from Taskmaster is the voice? Damn, how cool!

@Testperson001
@

Okay. This comes pretty close to the Truman Show

@arvindjijiantony4882
@

the kind of people on a show like love island generally don't function well without their phones, are they really taken away to keep them from telling what time it is?

@petertimowreef9085

in 100 years it will be considered a case study in late-stage capitalism's public torture rituals

@MrDyldoBaggins

I’m curious about this and have never watched a single episode of any reality TV drama 😅

@solarianvoid-pi9428
@

I’ve never heard of this show. Sounds incredibly boring...

@machenka
@

This sounds absolutely horrible. For all involved. Viewers included.

This is why when Big Brother Canada was cancelled during the COVID shutdown seemed like a weird deal since nobody knew about the behind the scenes but when you consider just how many bodies are needed to make it run despite the house only having 12, up to 30, contestants. Like, this is just for the getting the episode out, you still have to consider meals, scene setup, emergency personnel, and a bunch of other niche roles you wouldn't think goes into a production setup for shows like this.

@Xhadp

"Wends" being short for Wednesday? Who taught your editor how to spell!

@JamesQuintero18
@

00:09 may I ask why you "have" to tell me? Like is it really that serious?

@alishawaf2837
@

All of this for a completely dogass show is very impressive

@gaymeeko
@

Why would anyone go through with all of this? Just doesn't seem worth it.

@chrisjohnsen8448
@

We really need to give Ian stirling his props coz he narrates for both seasons at the same time

@evam7964
@

1:30 “19 timezones away” sounds far but it’s actually the same as 5 timezones away

@lambdacore016
@

When the calendar graphic said "Wends" for Wednesday it was so wrong but felt so right

@billhayes3219
@

Anyone who thinks this can just happen on crunch time and get done with enough people I’m a film major I don’t deny it happens I just nearly spat out my drink hearing what they do a day to get it done because holy crap it takes a lot to do I’ve worked on films before oh my gosh if you told me this was possible before watching I would have been surly they have a least one full day of editing BUT NOPE!

sam, i thought the cuts in this video were a bit fast

As others have pointed Big Brother US is actually produced a lot like Love Island except for that one huge difference the 24/7 live feeds. It's wild because you can actually hear the Big Brother producers talking to the houseguests through the speakers. You'll hear things like, "Stop singing," or "Please report to the Diary Room," right there on the live stream. And that's honestly the best part. The feeds give you a totally unfiltered and more honest look at the real dynamics of the house. You get to see the genuine friendships, the real arguments, and all the downtime that never makes it to air. It's a completely different story compared to the highly edited episodes that only air three times a week.

Check when the sun is highest, look at one clock. Calculate the difference in time to noon. Tada: You always now know what time it is.

This video is the only thing I actually know about Love Island, but I gotta say, I didn’t have it on my bingo card that a tv network would watch the Hunger Games and say “let’s do that but with more horny and less blood”

@chelseawhite7117
@

I respect Survivor more

@PredictableEnigma
@

What happens if one of the contestants has to take a medication at a specific time every day? Are they just hosed? Or do they just not get on the show to begin with?

@stanleydog1454
@

So basically what Big Brother did 25 years ago? 😂

@Frexuz
@

Wait till you hear about I'm a celebrity get me out of here produced for the German television. That's even more impressive

@BjarneRest
@

What happens when narrator take a sick day off?

@kezif
@

would love if you made a video on big brother

@pornzogay

WENDS SEREOUSLY @6:48

BRCKS BRICKS BRICKS BRICKS AN ACCUAL VIDEO ABOUT BRICKS

This is reminding me of the parts in the hunger games books where they talk about the actual people putting on the game

@MeowryJane
@

"Reality" TV nowadays just means they're humans and not AI robots. Friends is just as "real" as this show😂

@Scuzzle-v2x
@

So Love Island is a Black Mirror meets Truman show mashup

@sprightly106
@

Love Island is dreadful television. Not steamy enough for actually exciting TV, not interesting enough to watch for the story, and not cringeworthy enough for so bad its good viewing. Its so bland, yet inexplicably popular for UK viewers. Seems made for influencers or sponsors and not for actual people.
