Rumbling from various sources over the weekend that it may be axed quicker than we hoped. They may cut 3 weeks off the end now.
OH
The music for this years show is rubbish, the theme tune last year was much better
I agree Jez - the theme music is awful and totally forgettable this time! Last year's track by Gem (I think) was so much better and really suited the programme!
Have the Love Island people got anything left to spice proceedings up with?
Seems even MIcrosoft are reporting it aswell - http://entertainment.msn.co.uk/tv/loveisland2006/loveisland_opinions/Default.asp

Remember Gem's theme for CLI from last year. God it seems so apt now. 
"Baby, you're sailing away......."
"If you find that life is too frightening please come home......"

Indeed, Caroline from Gloucestershire sums it all up perfectly...
Dump it now.

"In the words of Big Brother's Nikki: 'Who is she? Who is she?' Who are these people? We don't know who they are so we don't care about them. And it's quite clear that they only want to be on TV to boost their non existent celebrity careers. Why should we watch?"
Dump it now.

At 11.15pm, not exactly the middle of prime time
There seems to be a bit of a media circus about the ratings of Love Island, even BBC News online were reporting on it last week which was a bit downmarket, I can't recall them doing that when the BBC had a flop on their hands. 10-10.30pm has never had so much interest

The most ironic thing is that given the current news climate, ITV would undoubtedly achieve far superior ratings with an early news- the exact thing they have repeatedly marginalised in favour of lowest common denominator programming.
I really can't surpass the comment left by one poster on Media Guardian's blog by the executive producer of this shambolic programme:
Spot on.

Quote:
Lowest common denominator rubbish TV is often excused because it represents popular taste and is therefore somehow democratic and "real". What's it like to be working on something that is both rubbish and unpopular? Could you not actually spice up the format by revealing to your "celebrities" that NO_ONE IS WATCHING? Too cruel?
Spot on.
