Woo hoo!  

We may soon have something to watch on channel 9 too: Aussie Love Island

HOPING to cash in on the success of dating show The Bachelor, the Nine Network is set to announce it has commissioned its own matchmaking show, Love Island.

Under the stewardship of David Mott, ITV’s producers are said to have chosen an island location for the series which will see about 12 couples transplanted from their homes and into an environment that is intended to be conducive to falling in love.

@GuardianAngel, could we please get a separate thread for AU Love Island?

It's one of the highest-rated reality shows in the UK with a sizeable fan following Down Under.
And now Love Island will finally get an Australian edition, with Channel Nine announcing that the X-rated reality series will air on their network next year.
Nine made the announcement on Twitter, writing: 'Hearts will be pounding and pulses will be racing as Love Island gets an Australian edition exclusively for @9Go & @9NowAU in 2018.

'How many followers do you have?' Love Island Australia application form is surprisingly brief... but wants to know ALL about your Instagram profile and why you split with your ex

Reality shows like The Bachelor and Survivor are known for their gruelling application forms, which are filled with invasive questions and can take hours to complete.

But the application page for the just announced Love Island Australia is surprisingly brief, with more focus on potential contestants' social media pull than their psychological profile.

One of the first questions on the form is: 'Do you currently blog and/or vlog?'

They then ask for more specific details, including the numbers of followers applicants have.

It also asks for details of Instagram profiles, including number of followers.

This is followed by a handful of relationship questions, including what caused break ups with previous partners and if potential contestants have ever found love with 'the one.'

After requesting a few photos of applicants, the process ends.

The Love Island application is drastically shorter than the one for The Bachelor, which asks for everything including mental health history and number of sexual partners.

Australian Survivor has similarly in-depth questions and requests information on drug history, criminal record, personal enemies and much more.

Channel Nine announced that the racy Love Island will air on their network next year.

Nine made the announcement on Twitter, writing: 'Hearts will be pounding and pulses will be racing as Love Island gets an Australian edition exclusively for @9Go & @9NowAU in 2018.'

The account added: 'Love Island Australia, will see sexy young singles on the lookout for romance, jetting off to a summer paradise to find love.'

Applications are currently open, with the series looking for applicants aged between 18 and 35.

The raunchy series sees a group of promiscuous young-at-hearts put on an exotic, luxury island where they party and form relationships with each other.
