It turns out that on there are plenty of little rules with major consequences that the contestants must adhere to or risk getting the boot. The main premise of the show includes the overarching rules like making sure you up with someone so you don't get asked to leave, and appeal to the audience a bit to make sure you win any audience votes. However, this .
.. it's more like summer camp where you need to listen and follow the rules beyond just those in the game.
Here's a look at some of those specifics. This is one of the biggest rules to follow because producers want to keep all of the contestants safe. They're so strict about this that even an accident sent a contestant home once.
In the UK, Sherif Lanre accidentally kicked Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch while they were play fighting. Sherif apologized for his actions, writing: “In a case of poor judgment, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa." If you're on the island, you're cut off from the outside world.
The contestants' social media pages go completely inactive as they focus on their search for love. In the past, friends and family would sometimes take over their accounts while the islanders were away, but the producers in the United Kingdom have put an end to that on their version of the show in order to help curb online harassment. Whether or not that will translate to the US has yet to be seen.
While we definitely see the contestants living it up.
