The Love Island Australia contestants are here to find love and avoid the wrath of the Superfans!
The Australian iteration of the show is a bit different from its Love Island UK counterpart — on our side of the hemisphere, the series isn’t live, and Islanders are voted off by Superfans.
But who are these Superfans and what role do they play on Love Island Australia?
Who are the Superfans?
Love Island Australia Superfans are viewers of the show who receive episodes of the series before everyone else—and they make decisions about the Islanders’ fate.
For example, sometimes, Superfans will vote for the couple they think is the most loved on the Island or the opposite: who isn’t the most loved.
Speaking to Refinery29, producers of Love Island Australia said who the Superfans are in the name.
“The Superfans are exactly that — Superfans on the show that we recruit every year. They are very real and watch clips we supply them to make up their decision,” producers told the publication.
How do you become a Superfan?
If you are chomping at the bit to become a Superfan, you can apply before the season begins to decide the Islanders’ fate.
Channel Nine usually publishes an article and social media posts about applying, so follow those pages to ensure you don’t miss out on being a Superfan!
What do people say about the Love Island Australia Superfans?
While Nine opens applications every year for the Love Island Superfans, there’s some people over on Reddit that think gaining the title of being a Superman isn’t so straightforward.
Some Redditors think it’s the producers being the Superfans but others aren’t convinced.
Do the Love Island Australia Superfans pick the winner?
No they don’t! Thankfully this is when the viewers come into play and they can cast their votes. The finale will be airing next week on Monday, December 16.
Stream Love Island Australia Mondays to Thursdays on Channel 9 and 9Now.
