- The show has faced criticism for being exploitative, yet some reviews suggest it offers a more complex exploration of intimacy issues among the contestants.
The one Virgin Island season finale – Only one Virgin Island contestant had sex
Of the 12 people to visit Virgin Island, only one had sex, which makes a disappointing show for the producers.
Virgin Island comes to a climax tonight, and it’s been revealed that only one contestant got lucky.
Despite twelve people signing up for the controversial TV show, only Dave, 24, was deemed ready by the island’s experts to have sex.
If you’re so inclined, then you can tune into tonight’s finale and watch Dave – technically, you’ll be listening – lose his virginity to his surrogate partner Kat Slade.
Since his time on the island a year ago, Dave’s put his newfound experience and improved self-confidence to good use.
The accountant has gone on to sleep with two more women, and he’s found a new partner on the dating app Hinge.
Speaking to The Sun, Dave revealed he and his girlfriend have been watching the show together, although they’ll be skipping the finale.
‘I never would have been able to talk to her without this show,’ he explained. ‘But I don’t think my girlfriend will watch, for obvious reasons.’
‘She watched the first four episodes, but it’s getting a bit much now. You don’t want to see your partner with someone else, even if it was a year ago.’
While Dave may be the only one to lose his virginity on the island, the cast have been keeping – and getting – busy since their return.
According to Taylor, whenever one of the cast members sleeps with someone, they update their WhatsApp group chat – which was called Virgins and Dave – to reflect that another member has lost their V-Card.
Dave the accountant was the only contestant who was ‘ready’ to go all the way
Each time the cast sleeps with someone, they get greyed out in the chat picture.
After Dave, it’s been reported that dog-groomer Holly was the next to knock boots with a boyfriend she started dating five months after filming.
She said, ‘It didn’t go terribly’ and while the relationship didn’t last, she feels like the show led to ‘a new, improved version of me’.
As for the rest of the cast? Well, they all seem to have enjoyed their time on the series. Care worker Charlotte has said she feels ‘more comfortable in my skin and in romantic situations’ following her ADHD diagnosis.
Virgin Island has been criticised by some as exploitative
As for how the rest fare? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out more.
Virgin Islands has been controversial since it started airing earlier this month. The show – which follows 12 adult virgins as they explore their issues around intimacy – has been labelled as exploitative and creepy by viewers.
However, the show isn’t without its defenders, with The Guardian writing in their review that while it’s ‘far from perfect, Virgin Island is ‘more complex’ than it first seems.
The Virgin Island finale will air tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
