A Slow Burn May Actually Be A Bad Thing

Of course, this article is inspired by Love Island.

I know this is about to be a very controversial take. And I am sorry if you are offended. But this is how I’m feeling in this exact moment, and I need to speak my truth! Along with the rest of the world, I’ve been watching Love Island USA season 7, and I have amassed some observations.

One of those observations pertains to Taylor and Olandria. They were a couple on Love Island who had a “slow burn.” But was it a slow burn, or did they not even really like each other? In an earlier episode, Taylor reveals that he isn’t physically attracted to Olandria. When Olandria returns to the villa after Casa Amor, this is how Taylor reacts. Taylor is quick to recouple with a new girl who he is immediately more affectionate with than he ever was with Olandria. Which leads me to my point: a slow burn is NOT a good thing.
