Love Island 2020: 22 Things Everyone Is Thinking After The First Episode

"I swear Love Island has got me thinking it's actually June."
LOADINGERROR LOADING

It’s only been six months since we closed the door on the last series of Love Island, but just like that, the villa has been filled up with new contestants for us to obsess over during the next six weeks.

Sunday’s opening episode introduced us to the 12 singletons before they coupled up for the first time, as well as marking the first appearance of new presenter Laura Whitmore.

And what would the first episode of a new series of Love Island be without a twist, which came in the form of the show’s first-ever female twins.

As ever, social media was alight with the musings of the show’s millions of fans, who shared hilarious commentary on the goings on.

Here’s the 22 main takeaways from the first instalment of Island action...

1. Things were a bit awks for those watching on the ITV Hub

2. The sound of the theme tune was like a comfort blanket

3. Although, hearing it in January just felt wrong, at least to start with anyway...

4. But it didn’t take long at all for everyone to come round

And yes, I have gone from saying I “can’t be bothered with the winter series” to being fully invested within 18 minutes #LoveIsland

5. However, some felt like their minds were being messed with, and they didn’t care for it

I swear love island has got me thinking it’s actually june, it’s summer & life is good when in fact it’s still just fucking january. #loveisland

6. And others thought producers had missed an real opportunity with their first winter series

I still think #LoveIsland should have done winter Love Island with cheese fondue and ski suits because everyone looks hot in a bikini, the real test is a ski suit and damp hair from the snow tbh.

7. New host Laura Whitmore slotted in perfectly for many

And it’s as if @thewhitmore has always been at the #LoveIsland helm

8. But for some, she did not pull off the slo-mo walk in quite the same way as Caroline Flack

The slo-mo walk is Flack’s and only Flack’s #LoveIsland

9. When Lewis Capaldi’s ex-girlfriend Paige was introduced, people already spotted an opportunity for a Casa Amor bombshell

10. The rejection of Nas during the coupling up ceremony was hard to take

Nas has been rejected twice in five minutes therefore I am now his biggest supporter #Loveisland

11. This response to Ollie’s brags about his wealth and his next door neighbours was inspired

12. Within minutes of arriving, Siannise had already coined one of this year’s catchphrases

Zara: I’m Miss GB. Marcel: I was in Blazing Squad. Dani: My dad’s Danny Dyer. Siânnise: mY sUrnAmeS fUdgE. #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/3rwkeqPVUZ

13. Connor and his veneers soon became the most famous set of teeth in the UK

Want to thank Connor from #LoveIsland for taking the heat off me for a bit. Cheers mate 👍🏼😬

14. When no-one spotted the (obvious) similarity between Sophie and her sister Rochelle Humes, she was clearly dying for someone to ask her about it

“I’m so close to my sisters. We all look the same.” - Sophie’s trying SOO hard to tell someone that Rochelle is her sister. #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/xsrkuy0EWJ

15. Mike already has everyone completely in love with him

17. Connor’s OTT reaction to Sophie’s joke about his threesome did not go down well

18. Like, at all

Connor already being problematic, why he look like he was about to lose his shit over a joke girl RUN #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/3rakAp2j6o

19. While the twins’ entrance was certainly unexpected (to the Islanders, at least), there were some who were expecting more

20. No-one was buying it when they claimed to never fight over lads

21. And people are not ready to see them break up two of the existing couples

Going to bed knowing one of the twins is probably going to pick Callum tomorrow and break Shaughna's heart #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/LF1DnbUlnk

22. Although, perhaps they’ll chose to couple up with this mystery man

Anyone else see the guy in the bushes #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/00tv9iqBCB
