Reflections on How and Why We Love Media
As much as I hate to admit it, I love Love Island. There’s not a show out there that’s made me feel such a range of emotions – The Bachelor, Love Island USA, Too Hot To Handle – none of them compare to the British train wreck I hold so close to my heart. With …
