Christina Applegate, known for her role in “Dead to Me,” has taken to social media to express her love for the popular dating reality show, “Love Island.” In a recent series of posts, she revealed both her admiration for the show and some humorous gripes she has with its contestants and production.
The actor, who started watching “Love Island” in 2021 following her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, didn’t hold back in her commentary. She called out contestants for making strange noises with their water bottles and criticized the use of white deodorant under armpits during heat, humorously referring to it as “white puss looking shit.” Applegate humorously suggested using clear deodorant instead, “helping you be the best version of you.”
Her candid remarks didn’t stop there. When a fellow fan mentioned the graphic nature of her comments about deodorant, Applegate playfully responded by mentioning “yeast infection,” adding her trademark wit to the conversation.
“Love Island,” which originally premiered in the UK in 2015 and has since spawned a US version, follows a group of singles isolated in a luxurious villa, aiming to find love and navigate the challenges of relationships under constant surveillance.
Applegate’s love affair with reality TV extends beyond “Love Island.” She has immersed herself in the genre, even befriending cast members of “Below Deck” and humorously recalling a declined offer to join “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” a decade ago, claiming she would have been the “worst housewife.”
With her infectious humor and unabashed honesty, Christina Applegate continues to entertain and engage her fans, bringing a unique perspective to the world of reality television.
