It's that time of year again! Love Island USA has just returned for its seventh season, which promises to be one the most entertaining yet.

Is ‘Love Island’ Real or Staged?

Just like with other reality TV series, there's an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. In this case, the elephant is: how real is the show?
Former Islander Hugo Godfroy spilled some behind-the-scenes tea during his interview with Heat World, saying:
“Love Island is definitely not scripted. You're definitely guided to chat to certain people, but what you say is what you say. There are no words put into your mouth.”
The truth: the show is not scripted, but it's heavily edited afterwards.
“You see 45 minutes of a 24-hour day. It's an edited version of reality,” another contestant, Jess White said in the same interview.
