What happened

Summer is here, and "Love Island" is back, with 12 new singles entering the villa ready to find romance on the beautiful island of Mallorca in Spain.

Why it matters

This year marks the series' 13th season, with things kicking off uniquely: the islanders will decide their own couples.

Common ground

After the 12 hopefuls get acquainted, Maya Jama enters to kick things off with a little game, which turns into the first coupling.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
