11 Moments From the First Episode of Love Island That Got People Talking

05/06/2019 - 12:20 PM

Love Island is back [1], and though we're only a few hours into our Summer-long love affair with the residents of the Majorcan villa, there have already been some memorable moments — and memes — that have got us all talking. Of course, we're all comparing this year's contestants to previous villa residents, and Anton's not exactly making the job difficult as he slides right into the gap left by last year's love rat Adam Collard. Meanwhile, surfer girl Lucie is very much trying to make Bev happen, and everyone is deciding which cast member they are prepared to protect at all costs (early front runners: Yewande, Amy, and Harry Styles Joe).

Though we all know a lot will change in the next few weeks, right now it's clear who the early front runners are, and we even have a catchphrase or two that will undoubtedly be emblazoned on t-shirts and water bottles before the Summer is through. Buckle up, it's time for a ride through the best memes and moments from the first episode of Love Island 2019. In the words of Caroline Flack, it's going to be a long, hot Summer.
