The German version of Love Island just ended and it’s actual filth?

If you thought Megan and Wes riding while Jack was in the room was intense then you’ve got another thing coming, my friend.

Look, Love Island is absolutely not the most demure show that has ever been broadcast.

It’s not exactly classy, it’s hardly going to win any awards for subtlety, but at the end of the day, people fall in love, maybe meet some friends, and also bag an In The Style deal, so all in all, it’s a decent enough show.

Germany’s version of Love Island is, eh, also a decent enough show.

Just kidding, we haven’t got a clue if it’s decent or not because Germany’s TV rating system is different to ours and watching an entire series of this programme would require far too much effort on our parts.

But here’s what we’ve managed to pick up about the German reality show – Adam Seeks Eve – thanks to a few random YouTube clips, and also Wikipedia.

The main difference here, as we can see, is that everybody is totally naked.

Like, 100 percent.

If you want to go on Adam Seeks Eve, it seems that there are two rules you must abide by – the first is that you need to be a Z list celeb, and the second is that you must be nude for the entirety of the show.

Essentially, the aim of the game here is to find love while baring your soul (and bits), much like Adam and Eve did back in the garden of Eden.

Think Naked Attraction but like, with actual full on riding.

The Z listers are fired off to an island called Tikehau in French Polynesia for a couple of weeks to see if they can set any sparks flying.

This year’s series of the show, its fifth, saw a model, a reality star, and a former winner of the show hold up in a yacht for a while giving each other intense body massages, shifting mercilessly, and generally grinding on whatever and whoever they could find.

The show’s final, broadcast last week, pulled in an impressive 1.5 million viewers in Germany too, which is extremely decent despite the fact that Adam Seeks Eve has been called “noble trash.”

But it’s also been called a sweet release from the horrors of the real world with “sun-kissed penises, sweet rolls and honest insights on the island of love” though so, you know.

Maybe the Germans are onto something here.
