  • Contractual Purity: Zara Holland from the second season of the revival had sex with Alex Bowen on set, and was promptly stripped of her Miss GB title. This caused a vicious Internet Counterattack against the Miss GB organisation.
  • Cash-Cow Franchise: Averted with the original, but the revival has become such a massive success for ITV that it has expanded into many countries internationally and has gained lots of merchandise, and the success just goes further right there. Currently, the franchise is one of ITV's biggest money makers in merchandising.
  • Dueling Works: With Big Brother UK. The original Love Island ended because more viewers were watching Big Brother; ironically, the revival of Love Island has better ratings than Big Brother, so the rivalry works both ways.
  • What Could Have Been: There was meant to be episode of Season 5 which was Darker and Edgier in tone, and it would have been far more serious than most episodes, with no games whatsoever.
