Christina Applegate, a fan of “Love Island,” expressed her annoyances with the show’s production and contestants, focusing on the sounds of water bottles, the clicking of long nails, and the use of white deodorant, which she humorously critiqued on social media.
Christina Applegate, a big fan of Love Island, has some gripes to share. She took to X on a sunny Wednesday, July 3, to air them out.
"I adore Love Island. Watched every single season," she tweeted. But, oh, she’s got issues with the production and the contestants. The sound of water bottles? A big no-no for her. "Can you pls stop making weird sounds with your water bottles? Like, holding the straw in your mouth, chewing it, and not sipping."
It’s not just the water bottle noises that get to her. Applegate is also not a fan of "girls with long nails making clicky clackety sounds" on the show. And she didn’t stop there. In another tweet, she dived into the choice of antiperspirant by the Islanders.
"White deodorant on the armpits in the heat is gross," she declared. According to her, everyone on the show is attractive enough to switch to clear deodorant. "The white pus-looking s–t in the folds is not bueno," she added, hoping to guide them to be their best selves.
Interestingly, Applegate wasn’t alone in her sentiments. A social media user echoed her disgust, though in a slightly more graphic manner. "I hate when it curdles," the user commented, unable to further detail their revulsion.
Applegate, unafraid of being blunt, spelled it out for those too squeamish to say it. "Yeast infection. That’s all I see now," she wrote, shedding light on what many thought but wouldn’t say.
Beyond Love Island critiques, Applegate doesn’t shy away from personal revelations. On her "Messy" podcast, she humorously compared her grooming challenges, due to multiple sclerosis, to Art Garfunkel’s hairdo.
"Shaving when your stomach is as big as mine is no easy task," she quipped in an episode. She painted a vivid picture of the acrobatics involved in shaving with MS, a struggle she knows her fellow warriors understand all too well.
Her co-host, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 43, shared her own shaving strategy. "You have to sit on the floor of your shower," Sigler explained, highlighting the lengths they go to maintain some semblance of normalcy.
Both women have been open about their MS battles. Applegate revealed her diagnosis in August 2021, while Sigler shared hers in October 2016. Their candidness brings light to the everyday realities of living with MS, offering a glimpse into their resilience and humor amidst challenges.
