Format

edit

Love Island is a reality television program in which a group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders", are living in a villa in Tenerife. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the Islanders must be in a relationship with another Islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but they are later forced to "re-couple" at special ceremonies in which they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone.

The Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date.

Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped", for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app.[6] During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win.

At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public receive two envelopes, one for each partner. One envelope contains €50,000 and the other contains nothing. The partner with the envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment.

The series was officially announced by Pro TV on May 12, 2023, with the applications being open immediately for all singles men and women, all around Romania. The first teaser trailer, featuring islanders from British version of the show in a 30s airline themed promo, was released also on 12 May. With the second teaser trailer released on 29 June, the prize of €50.000 was revealed.[32][33][34] On 5 August 2023, Pro TV released the third trailer for the series, a thirty-second teaser featuring a group of young people running on the beach to get a place in the villa, as narrator exclaims "In the game of love, only the fittest succeed".

On 21 August 2023, it was announced that Alina Ceușan would be hosting the show.[35][36][37] Following the announcement, Ceușan said on her Instagram account: "We've kept this secret from you for a while, but now it's time: I'm thrilled to let you know I'll be your host on Love Island Romania this fall. The very first season of the original show that wowed the world will be a challenge for all of us and I'm proud to be part of this huge project that celebrates couples and the love that brings them together.
