We've all sworn off a show… right up until the group chat and the memes wear us all the way down. In this clip Malcolm admits how Love Island got him — reservations and all.

Malcolm talks through his unexpected turn into Love Island: why he resisted at first, how friends and a steady stream of memes finally pulled him in, and how it cracked open his TV taste in general. It's a fun, honest look at how the things we say we'd "never watch" have a way of becoming appointment viewing — and what that says about how culture actually spreads.
