Feeding My Love of Reality TV with hayu Canada
As you all may know following me on Instagram or reading my blog for a while, that I love myself some reality TV. I love to tune in to my favourite shows, itβs my ultimate guilty pleasure. A glass of wine and some reality TV is my perfect Friday night!
When I heard hayu was launching in Canada and that they only have reality TV shows on their app, I was so excited! And the fact that they have seasons 3 + 4 of Love Island, the TV show anyone in the UK was talking about all summer. I watch a lot of British YouTubers and heard about this show all the time- I really wanted to watch it!
It was such a huge hit that this ITV series attracted Britainβs second biggest millennial TV audience this year outside of World Cup matches. Thatβs huge!
Itβs so popular, CBS is launching an American version next year, I canβt wait for that one!
Fun facts about Love Island and how this show works
- Love Island takes a group of twenty-something singles, places them in a luxury villa, and couples them with complete strangers, forcing them to share everything – including a bed (!!)
- Contestants can be re-coupled with other Islanders β sometimes by choice, sometimes not.
- New contestants are introduced into the villa at different stages, and the one left single after a recoupling takes place is kicked off Love Island.
- When the show aired live in the UK, local residents could vote for who should stay, who should go, and which couple should be sent on a date, which adds to the tension Islanders reflect on-screen.
- In a final twist, one half of the winning couple is awarded Β£50,000 and he or she must decide whether to keep it all or share it with his or her new partner. This can be quite surprising!
So, you can only imagine all the drama on this show! Curtis and I were getting so into it, we were telling cast members tips (cuz they can hear us DUH) from the couch haha.
hayu is full of complete series (from season one, episode one and 6,000 episodes!) which means you can binge from the beginning! Woohoo! I can finally binge watch seasons 3 + 4 of Love Island at my own pace.
Iβve downloaded it onto my tablet and cell to watch on the go, commuting to an event or to watch at my local coffee shop in between work. At home I watch it on the TV, so I can get all comfy on the couch with my wine.
But this means I can watch all my shows while we travel soon! β¨β¨You can sign up to hayu and get the first month free! Then each month is $5.99 a month, thatβs cheaper than a coffee or smoothie!
So far, Iβm half way though season 4 of Love Island, my favourite season 4 Love Islander is Laura. I want to know who your favourite is if you have watched this!

I didnt realize that Hayu was all reality tv. Good to know, “Below deck” and “Flipping out” are pretty good as well!
