Is this the corporate version of "cis white male or 'political'"?

All you need is a whole island of bisexuals and you will have all the pairings possible!

I had the same thought. Become ungovernable logistically difficult.

We are dealing with professionals, so they require a box with 100 condoms, the extended set of sex toys and a 80 gallon drum of sheep birthing lube.

More likely: queer love island declares bankruptcy after they failed to hire enough staff to coherently follow all the polycule drama; chore wheel lasted a week and a half, everyone too adhd

More likely: Queer love island cast screeners are good at their jobs and pick candidates that create plenty of drama in the polycule while still make a coherent story. Queer love island postponed indefinitely after firebombing of the studio and murder of a contestant after months of far-right media calling it a threat to western civilization.

However, Stavri outlined current issues she said ITV was facing in adapting the series. โ€œIn terms of gay Islanders, I think the main challenge is regarding the format of Love Island,โ€ she said. โ€œThereโ€™s a sort of logistical difficulty, because although Islanders donโ€™t have to be 100% straight, the format must sort of give [them] an equal choice when coupling up.โ€

Don't see the problem here, they're saying the current competition format they're using doesn't work when same genders pair up.

โ€œWith our dating shows, such as The Cabins, there is much more sexual diversity. The formats donโ€™t have as much restrictions as Love Island.โ€

Twitter is just ragebaiting, whudathunk

All of them, even the ones you look at, say where does this one go?

Which is, of course, ridiculous. Reality tv is the manifestation of everything wrong with society, not the cause.

Sounds like it's more them saying a handful of bisexuals can ruin the format by making it so some straight people don't have anyone to pair with.

Clearly the answer is to only have bisexuals and/or gender fluid in a special edition season. Then another just for strict homosexuals. (I've never watched the show, all I know of it I have learned in this comment chain.)

For the contestants yes, for the showrunner no. The whole point of these shows is to create artificial conflict. Adding in LGBT people increases the complexity of the game by adding more potential pairings.

To which I say... boo hoo. Do your jobs or someone else will eat your lunch.
