The new series of ITV2 series Survival of The Fittest kick-started last night (Sunday, 11 February 2018).
From the producers of 2017’s Love Island there were some big expectations placed onto the shoulders of a show dubbed ‘the Winter version of Love Island’.
However, episode one came with mixed reactions from Twitter. And by mixed, we mean hilarious.
Slating the host of model-esc contestants for their same-same muscular physiques and bright white teeth, social media ripped into Survival of The Fittest without mercy.
The show will air on ITV2 at 9pm EVERY night this working week, although it already looks unlikely that our Great British public will connect with the personalities as much as they did with the likes of Love Island’s Camilla Thurlow, Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay.
Then again, 90% of us said we wouldn’t get into Love Island – two months later and we were all totally addicted.

What is Survival of The Fittest about?
Survival of The Fittest follows a group of young, hot singletons competing against one other physically, mentally and of course, romantically.
In the ultimate battle of the sexes, a team of girls and a team of boys go head-to-head in a series of challenges to determine which sex wins.
TWIST: Living under the sweltering sun and together in “The Lodge” means romantic relationships could easily get in the way.
Will the girls put sisters before misters and will the boys choose mates over dates? Or will competitors end the night in bed with the enemy?
