Virgin Island: the bizarre dating show where celibacy is at risk

A group of ‘attractive and confident’ virgins are heading to an island in a newly announced dating show that provokes a number of questions

Students of reality TV, take heed, for the genre has finally reached its logical endpoint. In retrospect it was always a question of when, not if, a production company would pitch a series entitled Virgin Island, but now at last the day is upon us.
According to Variety, Hulu has just launched Virgin Island, a show that is exactly what you think it is. A tropical island. A bunch of virgins. Lust. Temptation. Probably some sort of clumsy, desperate, fear-filled sexual intercourse. Almost definitely a lot of crying afterwards. This might just be the show your television was invented for.
Over 10 episodes, Virgin Island will thrust a number of “stunningly attractive and confident singles” together. As Hulu states: “As the cast finds heartfelt connections and explores their varying reasons for waiting, there will be plenty of unexpected twists, including new arrivals and departures, all culminating in a dramatic finale where burgeoning relationships are put to the test.” This is complete conjecture on my part, but I’m taking that last bit to mean that the finale will feature two people attempting to have sex for the first time while their devoutly religious older relatives watch them from the corner of the room. Will our contestants reach the point of sexual release despite the sound of their grandparents weeping with bitter disappointment? Tune into Virgin Island and find out!
Clearly, there are a number of questions to be asked here. The first, and perhaps most pressing is: “What sort of virgins are these people looking for anyway?” This is important, because it will directly influence the direction of the series. If it’s about adults who have made the decision to abstain from sex, then it could be fascinating television. Perhaps they will all have to overcome a long-held fear of physical intimacy, in which case the show has the potential to be a sensitive and profound exploration of the obstacles we choose to throw in the way of our own happiness.
