Love Island is one of the few reality television franchises that has yet to dabble in the world of All Stars. Despite having various series spanning the U.K., Australia, South Africa, and the U.S., Love Island hasn't yet rounded up fan-favorites and villains for an All Stars season — and, per usual, Reddit has opinions about it.
A television show like Love Island requires maximum drama, chaos, and tomfoolery. While many Reddit users made cases for islanders who deserve a second chance, most fans are dreaming up an All Stars cast that would bring the heat right off the bat. Meaning these returning islanders are all but guaranteed to create bigger and better spectacles rivaling the legendary ones from their seasons.
Adam Collard (Series 4)
To be fair, in Adam's intro, he did admit the movie character he would be is 50 Shades' Christian Grey because "he drives girls insane." This was key foreshadowing and yet it was still a shock when Adam turned out to be Series 4's menace. What ensued was undeniable entertainment, which is exactly why Adam is a popular name in Reddit threads.
Choccybizzle said, "I definitely would want Adam from S4 there. He’s the sort of snake that provides good TV." NotFredRhodes, in response to Reddit user Sodastreamgravy's dream All Stars cast, stated, "No Adam Collard? Can’t be done without him." To which Sodastreamgravy agreed, "Adam Collard is so fiiine dramatic."
Kady McDermott (Series 2)
Will anyone ever forget the spilled drink incident of 2016? Probably not. The back-and-forth cut-aways between the escalating shouting match and Kady's calm confessionals are quintessential Love Island and one of the main reasons why samserra201 argued Kady "would create chaos" on All Stars.
Just to be clear, chaos is a good thing on Love Island. Kady created such great TV on Series 2, a now-deleted user described her All Stars potential as burning "the entire villa down with the islanders inside on a rampage because someone gave her a dirty look." Another user ining upped the ante even further by demanding, "give me a Kady vs. Olivia Attwood showdown or give me death."
Idris Virgo (Series 4)
There are many islanders who barely have time to unpack their suitcases before leaving the villa, and Idris was one such islander who left too soon. Though he was only in the villa for a whopping three days, Idris managed to make an impact on fans following his season. One Reddit user observed that "Idris interacts with every post he's frothing at the mouth to come back."
His short stint on Love Island is also why other users think he would be fun as an All Star. Inevitable_Peanut257 argued, "It would be low key hilarious if they threw in someone like Idris, who still seems very hung up on all three of his LI days, and then no one recognized them."
Megan Barton Hanson (Series 4)
Every reality TV season needs at least one villain. Luckily, Series 4 had two. Megan, in the words of Reddit user ellemonte, "woke up one day and decided to break up a day-one couple just because she could, and then she did with barely any effort. I have no choice but to respect her game lol." Now imagine the antics she would get up to in an All Stars season, and fans are all about it.
In their All Star line-ups, AllieKyle dubbed her "Messy Megan," while JustineFB said, "Legend. Quietest lil man-eater you'll ever meet." Both are valid points when it comes to All Stars, because being messy and being dramatic are characteristics fans either hate to love or love to hate on this steamy show.
Chris Hughes (Series 3)
Chris Hughes and his other half Kem Cetinay were one of the best couples from Love Island — friendship couples, that is. It was hard to take these two seriously, especially when their conversations regularly devolved into raps. While Reddit deemed this loveable duo an All Stars package deal, Kem already won Love Island and, per typical All Stars rules, should probably sit this one out.
With or without Kem, Chris would still make a hilarious addition to the All Stars villa. Reddit users were pretty unanimous in agreeing with SnooDucks700 when they said, "all I can say is Chris Hughes is a MUST." After all, who else is going to start serious discussions about everyone's favorite animals?
Montana Brown (Series 3)
Montana always knew the hottest gossip of the villa. When drama was unfolding, Montana was never too far away. She somehow always managed to grab the best seat in the house so she could eavesdrop effortlessly.
This makes Montana essential in an All Stars villa because a key component of drama is the person who passes on the story. As the old saying goes, if someone stirs the pot in the villa but no one is around to see it, was the pot really stirred? Montana would see it, tell everyone, and then provide a recap in her confessional, which is why guimealle noted, "Montana had the best one-liners and was just smart, funny, and honest."
Theo Campbell (Series 3)
The whole point of bringing in Bombshells is to shake things up, and that's exactly what Theo did in Series 3. By getting in between Jonny and Tyla, Theo staged the scene for multiple juicy spats. In an All Stars season, fans would expect the same energy from Theo, with AdzBoogie arguing, "Any list without Theo is not a true list. Theo was the physical embodiment of chaos."
One way he created chaos was by testing the relationship between the villa couples. He never failed to say what everyone was thinking, which is why many a Reddit user, including toadyhill, described Theo as "an absolute hero. Loved hearing him call out everyone’s bullsh*t."
Maura Higgins (Series 5)
There's no denying that Maura is one of the most popular Love Island contestants. She came into the villa as a strong woman who knew exactly who she was and what she wanted. Maura also acquainted everyone with the term 'fanny flutters,' which fans were definitely feeling when it came to the possibility of Maura as an All Star.
Rojitas25 was excited about the idea for one reason and one reason only: "Would love this mostly bc I’d get to see King Ovie and Queen Maura again." poppy1494, on the other hand, introduced an All Stars scenario that would be television gold: "Maura, Megan, and Kady?!?! Imagine the HEAT! Those girls would either kill each other or become POWERHOUSE man-eaters. Either way, I’m here for it."
Ovie Soko (Series 5)
Ovie is the king of fan's favorite islanders. Though he entered the villa via Casa Amor later in his season, his laid-back vibe coupled with his humor and genuine personality endeared him to fans almost immediately. Triptakercartier described Ovie's Love Island experience as, "He's there for a free holiday only and I respect that."
What fans are especially looking for from Ovie in an All Stars season are scenes similar to the one in which he enjoyed a popsicle while the camera cut to Anna complaining to Jordan. Ovie's is a very different energy than most islanders, and fans wouldn't want it any other way. ashiknees3 said Ovie "would steal the whole season!" and hamadu posited, "imagine if we had a whole season of Ovieisms!"
Olivia Attwood (Series 3)
isabellac123 holds the opinion that Olivia is "probably the funniest person to ever come on the show." During her time in the villa, Olivia waffled between Chris and Mike, getting caught in what she describes as their 'd*cksand' — a word fans definitely want to hear more of on an All Stars season.
seafulwishes said, "we def need Olivia Attwood cause that girl BRINGS IT." By it, this Reddit user is referring to hilarious confessionals, jaw-dropping drama, and the unique ability to fight and then make up with any other islander. In addition, chloemonet brought up the point: "Put Liv in, and then she and Chris can get back together just to break up again."
