The latest seasons of Love Island UK and Love Island USA have brought forth intriguing storylines, showcasing the highs and lows of romance, friendship, and drama. While the UK version is struggling with a rivalry between Harriet, Jess, and Ronnie, the USA version has demonstrated unity among its contestants.
Love Island UK’s new season has been marked by the love triangle between Harriet, Jess, and Ronnie, which has caused unnecessary division among the contestants. Ronnie’s manipulation of the girls’ feelings has rubbed viewers the wrong way. On the other hand, the UK version has shown that relationships can create a middle ground for viewers to be invested in the romance aspect and who will be friends with whom.
In contrast, Love Island USA has showcased a different and refreshing approach to the format. From the start, the girls have genuinely cared for each other, and even when the introduction of bombshell Liv Walker created instant chaos, the girls showed their support for each other. Leah Kateb was upset after Rob Rausch and Liv coupled up, but the other girls came together to console her. The unity among the girls was clear, as seen in their open communication and support for each other.

The unity within the girls was evident from the beginning, as Leah was heartbroken after the recoupling, and the other girls came together for her, showing that they can put their differences aside for each other. After the drama died down, the PPG members – JaNa Craig, Serena Page, and Leah – continued to come together for each other.
Viewers have taken to social media to praise the bond between the girls, highlighting the growing friendships in the franchise. This unity is something the UK version should take note of. Even the men in the USA version’s villa have been more supportive of each other, as seen in Kordell Beckham receiving solace from the other boys after Serena ended things with him.
If Love Island UK doesn’t get its act together, it risks losing viewers to the more cohesive USA version.
