Love Island was a successful dating show that got criticized for its lack of homosexuality, especially gayness. Thus, BBC Three is set to make the straight dating show a bit gayer through the UK’s first dating show, ‘I Kissed A Boy,’ after a long dry spell. It brings something many viewers were craving for.
It is a huge step towards the representation of the LGBTQ+ community. All ten contestants in the show are boys. According to the show, the potential couples must kiss each other and introduce themselves. Sticking to the flow of ‘Love Island,’ the boys can decide whether they want to replace their partners or continue with the same.
The one with no kiss will leave the Masseria. Lust at first sight and loyalty will get tested in the coming episodes, and every contestant will reveal a different struggle story as a gay boy, and it will help you assume their moves in further episodes.
‘I Kissed A Boy’ gets self-hosted by the beautiful television personality, actress, and former popstar, Dannii Minogue, narrated by Layton Williams and produced by Samuel Palmer, Fiona Campbell, and David Brindley. Talking about the sound department of the series, Jeremy Lock looks after mixing and re-recording. The ten boys in the show are Gareth, Kailum, Ross, Josh, Subomi, Ben, Bobski, Joseph, Ollie, and Jake.

I Kissed A Boy Plot
The show makers have a match-making team that studies what the contestants are looking for and what is not. Then, it begins with the match-making. After the matches get made, the contestants kiss each other and decide whether they want to continue with the same partner or choose another one.
All ten guys will stay in the same Italian Masseria together with no phones or text messages. It will help the show makers eliminate misunderstandings and ghosting among the contestants. Similarly, dating, swiping, and using the apps seem to be too exhausting for the show makers.
You must be wondering how the contestants will contact each other. The answer is: through unexplainable things like body language and eye contact. It will be great to see guys coming from different backgrounds and experiences communicating with each other. Some couples have instant chemistry, while some will take some time to get closer (emotionally), just like it happens with everyone.
You will find a lot of differences in this show as compared to other dating shows because it brings a lot of gay content. The show inherits the same formula as that of ‘Love Island.’ Still, it will be thrilling to see how all gay contestants go ahead.
After watching the first episode, some viewers enjoyed it, while some asked for a girls’ version. Some viewers are obsessed with the show and recommend others to watch it too. Normal bodies are shown in the show as every boy is not so muscular, and the viewers appreciate this imperfection.
