UK’s hit reality television series, Love Island Season 5, is now approaching its fifth week. And with its most recent episode, the fourth Unseen Bits, airing last night, the upcoming installment for the season will surely feature new entrances and coupling of the participants.
On the twenty-fifth episode, two participants were dumped from the villa. Quite surprisingly, the groups chose Tom and Arabella to ultimately leave the competition. And with the episode featuring two new exits, the number of participants is now down to 24.
It is worth remembering that Love Island Season 5 is set to have its finale on its tenth week. Hence, it is very likely that the following episodes for the current season will highlight more exits than its previous runs. And this is just fitting considering that the season started with a total of 31 participants.
It is also notable that the series is now headed on its mid-season run. Accordingly, the challenges and twists in its premises are expected to be so much more difficult and dramatic. This is why a lot of people are becoming more immersed in the show’s overall provisions and offerings.
As it appears, the viewership ratings continue to rise up per episode. And while the per-episode basis shows promising output in terms of its viewership numbers, the weekly ratings are perceived to have maintained its course.
With these numbers and ratings at hand, it is only suitable for critics to claim that Love Island Season 5 is one of the fan-favorite seasons as per Digital Spy. And although the series has already proved its worth and value to its audience time and again, the current season is becoming more impressive, especially when the most recent scandal and controversy are highlighted during the last few week’s episodes.
On June 11, the ninth episode of Love Island Season 5 became one of the series’ most unforgettable installments. This is because Sherif Lanre, a 20-year-old contestant from London, has been removed from the show due to his actions.
While there were no explanations given to the audience, it has been widely made known that he broke the rules inside the villa which cost him his place in the competition. Another factor as to why this event has become so much more interesting is due to the fact that his exit was not aired on screen.
These movements made by the production actually created a commotion in the fandom. And based on the general opinion about the matter, most of the fans are speculating that the production is trying to contain the situation and refraining it from ever coming out to the public.
But whatever the case, this scandalous exit made a lot of individuals more curious about the show. And as a result, Love Island Season 5 continues to attract viewers which essentially benefits them in all aspects.
