We will see how long that will last, they did that before and not long after pulled the show fro. airing on FTA TV due to extremely low ratings.
I dont think that has ever happened. No season has been pulled - its aired its entirety on Nine or 9GO. The slot may have changed like 7.30 to 9pm but not pulled to be 9Now exclusive
That’s not true.
It’s aired on 9Go as Aaron said in its entirety for many years, if not, all of them.
EPISODE ONE
MONDAY, OCTOBER 27
It’s the seventh season of Love Island Australia, once again set in a beautiful Villa in Mallorca, Spain.
Sophie Monk is back, and is straight into the action as our girls arrive one by one to meet her and have the traditional Love Island glass of champagne.
This year the OG girls are:
Lacey, a model from Sydney.
Isobel, a hair salon business owner, also from Sydney.
Bailey, a model from Toronto, Canada.
Sharn, a dermal therapist from Adelaide, and, Yana, a plumber from Sydney who has a huge following on social media.The girls settle in and to their surprise, the boys arrive all at once.
This year the OG boys are:
Jotham, an Australian, American football player.
Connor, a nurse from the Gold Coast.
Cooper, a salesman from Brisbane.
Ross, a social media and marketing professional from Byron Bay, and, Zac, a professional Olympic swimmer from the Gold Coast.The boys line up on a love heart each as the girls then grill them about anything and everything.
The first challenge sees our OG girls kiss as many boys as they like and then choose one to stand on and then couple up with.
After lots of kisses we have a first five couples:
Yann and Cooper
Sharn and Ross
Lacey and Jotham
Isabel and Connor
Bailey and ZacThe Love Island Australia journey stars and they all excitedly explore the Villa.
There are already some roadblocks though, as Zac and Bailey realise they have one very important difference of opinion. He wants children, and she doesn’t.
Just as our Islanders are getting set in the Villa at night, the first surprise arrives in the form of Gabby, a beautiful social media influencer from the Gold Coast. The girls are rocked as Gabby immediately makes an impact on the boys. It’s been a huge day one in the Villa.
