Love Island has given us explosive recouplings, dramatic Casa Amor betrayals, and enough awkward flirting to last a lifetime. It has also, for reasons known only to the producers, repeatedly asked us to watch people transfer half-chewed food from one mouth to another.

Enough.

Nobody is tuning in hoping they’ll get to watch someone lovingly spit a smoothie into another person’s face. Every year I convince myself the producers have finally retired this cursed challenge. Every year I am wrong.

If you’ve ever instinctively looked away, muted the TV, skipped ahead, or questioned the life choices that led you to watching strangers swap mouthfuls of liquefied ham and ketchup, milk left out in the Fijian sun, or sardines the size of whales, this petition is for you.

Let’s retire this challenge forever.
