Predicting this year’s Love Island contestants’ personalities based on their promo photos

I GOT A TEEEEEEEEEEEXT! Finally, we're edging another step closer to this year's launch of Love Island now that we know who the contestants are.

What's far more fun is using their promo photos to predict their personalities, based on nothing more than stereotypes and strong vibes. Let's try to figure out who's going to be a nightmare on Love Island 2018 and make some powerful enemies before the new series even begins.
