Love Island UK Season 12 Ep 1 REACTION | Girls Pick the Boys + First Shock Dumping

Описание: The drama is OFFICIAL in Love Island UK Season 12 Episode 1 🏝️ Premiered on 9 June 2025 on ITV2 and ITVX (Hulu in the U.S. starting June 12) with a major format twist. The girls entered the villa first and had to pick their couples before meeting any of the boys—now THAT’s bold.  

Meet the original cast: Shakira, Meg Moore, Megan (Megan F), Alima, Sophie, Helena, Harry, Dejon, Conor, Ben, Blu, and Tommy. The first bombshell arrival, Toni from the U.S., shook up all the coupling decisions—and one new girl was dumped before even fully entering.  

🔥 In this reaction, I break down:
• The unexpected twist of ladies choosing their lads based on profiles
• Toni’s dramatic entrance and its fallout
• The villa vibe, sparks, confusion and first sparks of drama
• What this premiere tells us about power plays, Amazon-like brand energy, and Love Island 10-year anniversary energy   

Whether you’re Team Girl Power or here for the bombshell chaos, this reaction spills all the tea 🍵
