Love IslandChristina Applegate suggests
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT "That's all I see now."

Reality TV connoisseur Christina Applegate has some advice for the attractive twenty-somethings trying to couple up on Love Island.

On Wednesday, the Dead to Me star used social media to voice a few complaints about the show that she holds close to her heart.

“I adore Love Island. Have watched every season,” Applegate assured followers on X. “I have a beef with production and contestants. Can you pls stop making weird sounds with your water bottles? like holding straw in mouth and chewing it and not sipping. Or girls with long nails making clicky clackety sounds.”

She then continued the rant with a second post, directly addressing the islanders with a personal hygiene tip.

"White deodorant on the armpits in the heat is gross,” Applegate wrote. “Now you all are very attractive people, please use clear deodorant!!! The white puss looking shit in the folds is not bueno. This is just me helping you be the best version of you. Haha.”

Applegate’s complaints were met with agreement, including one fan who wrote, “I hate when it curdles. It reminds of something too graphic to share. I legit can’t even type it.”

But Applegate had no such reservations. “Well I will say it for you,” the actress replied. “Yeast infection. That’s all I see now.”

The latest season of Love Island USA, hosted by Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix and set in Fiji, kicked off last month on Peacock.

Applegate, who has been public about her battle with multiple sclerosis, previously revealed that becoming a reality TV junkie was a recent development for her.

"I just started two years ago when I got diagnosed,” Applegate said during an April episode of her MeSsy podcast. “In the two years that I’ve been watching from my bed, I have watched probably, what? 300 hours of reality TV, I would imagine. Probably more.”

Applegate went on to share that she’s even taken her fandom to the next level by befriending some of the personalities she loves watching on TV.

“I’m actually friends with some people now,” she said, adding that she’s connected with several yacht crew members from Below Deck. “I have slipped into their DMs and become friends with Captain Lee [Rosbach], Kate Chastain, and Daisy [Kelliher].”

In the same conversation, Applegate revealed that she passed on an opportunity to be a reality TV star, when she turned down a spot on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills around “10 years ago.” She joked that it was for the best, “I would be the worst housewife anyway.”
