this show has become so parasocial since season 7
i just saw a post earlier about the sincerity of the islanders and obviously they go on the show for fame. but i can’t really see anyone from season 8 lasting longer than a couple years… *not even y’alls fave who you think is gonna win. this show is so fake and people are fighting tooth and nail to defend the relationships of a certain couple(s) and it’s so parasocial, it’s just a fantasy that these islanders are creating and teens watching are like “they’re perfect together, and if you don’t agree with me then you’re a lonely miserable loser and that’s why you’re hating.” and i’ve even seen a comment saying “my mental health depends on this couple.” scary… LOL
