Summary
To derive a score for finishing in the top three positions of the television show, Love Island, UK. Results: A score predicting show success termed DO-BITS (different coupling approaches [islanders pursuing one or many people on the show], Original islander [being on the show from the start], [being] Brunette, [having] intimate relationships on screen, Tradesman [occupation before being on the show] and Short name [having a four-letter first name]) was developed. The Love Island Fandom Wiki was used to obtain data on readily available potential predictors including name, age at time of villa entry, sex, home town, day of entry to the villa (in relation to series start), occupation prior to show entry and number of couplings during the islander’s time on the show.
