I just don’t think the main show needs a presenter, it just unnecessarily drags things out and adds nothing to the show. The text system works better and quicker. Also don’t think a new presenter will add much more then Laura other then be a bit less awkward and maybe a bit more likeable as they will still be told what to do and say by itv. I don’t think there’s much personal choice in the job really.
LI has really lost its spark after S3 mainly and kind of completely after S5. ITV don’t really seem to know how to handle the show or islanders anymore. I think the reason for this is really a curse of popularity and social media. The type of people that go on this show now are all the same and all a bit boring and only want one thing - to be an influencer.
S3 was entertaining because the people were actually themselves, had something about them and a bit unaware of what was going on. But now they know exactly what will happen and even try to replicate trying to be like former past popular islanders which just leads to contrived personalities.
