Sleeping and bed-sharing rules on Love Island Well, basically, the rules say that Islanders should share a bed with who they're coupled with - and who they're coupled with is just based on the fire-side ceremonies. As always - and as they've repeatedly done - Islanders are of course not forced to sleep anywhere.

We watch Love Island A LOT. It's basically our jobs. But this year, in fact, just the last few episodes, something has struck us as really odd... Why can't the Love Islanders just share a bed with whoever they want to?

Two storylines have brought this to mind recently following two recouplings that didn't go the way the Islanders might have intended. Firstly, Danica picked Luca in the recoupling before last. Luca decided to take a stand by sleeping in the living room or doghouse place we never really see unless someone sleeps there. But Gemma didn't follow him, instead resolutely sharing a bed with Davide (who she'd had to pick when her 'love match' Luca, wasn't available anymore). Then, more recently, Jay decided to step between love's young dream, Paige and Jacques, by choosing Paige to recouple with. Well, as the Love Islanders say over and over again (seemingly as long as it's a man who is doing it, but that's for another article...) you've got to use your time and be open and get to know other people if your head is turned. So, sure, that was Jay's prerogative.

But is it making anyone else feel increasingly uncomfortable that while Paige is 'being open', she seems, in reality, to be with Jacques. Yet she feels obligated to share a bed with Jay, to the extent she's holding hands with Jacques across a bed... just because Jay 'chose' her? It feels quite bizarre when you think about it... That someone can 'choose' someone, not necessarily who they'd have wanted, and they still have to share a bed with them?

Sleeping and bed-sharing rules on Love Island

So why do Love Islanders have to share with who they're coupled with?

Well, basically, the rules say that Islanders should share a bed with who they're coupled with - and who they're coupled with is just based on the fire-side ceremonies. As always - and as they've repeatedly done - Islanders are of course not forced to sleep anywhere. Islanders can sleep in the dog house, on sofas and even outside on the day beds. So, in short, as long as the Love Islanders feel comfortable, they follow the rules. Maybe Gemma just didn't fancy a night on a sofa bed... we've all been there.

What is the most living thing?

If you had to guess the most abundant organism on the whole planet, you'd probably think of ants or, maybe, bacteria. But a newly discovered virus might trump them all. Pelagibacter ubique is often cited as the most common organism ever: it's a third of all the single-celled organisms in the ocean.

If you had to guess the most abundant organism on the whole planet, you’d probably think of ants or, maybe, bacteria. But a newly discovered virus might trump them all. Pelagibacter ubique is often cited as the most common organism ever: it’s a third of all the single-celled organisms in the ocean. But, as is always the case, something eats P. unique. In fact, four different viruses parasitize this one species. Researchers at Oregon State University recently discovered these viruses and concluded that the one of them that was the most common. The Economist reports: then compared their DNA with databases of DNA found in seawater from around the world, to find out how abundant each is. The upshot was that a virus dubbed HTVC010P was the commonest. It thus displaces its host as the likely winner of the most-common-living-thing prize. There’s a little debate here about whether or not a virus can even, in principle, dethrone P. ubique. The Economist explains: That does depend, of course, on your definition of “living thing”. Some biologists count viruses as organisms. Some do not. The reason is that a virus relies for its growth and reproduction on the metabolic processes of the cell it infects. This means viruses themselves are hard to parasitise, since they do no work on which another organism can free-ride. Which is why the next two lines of Swift’s poem, “And these have smaller fleas to bite ’em/And so proceed ad infinitum”, are wrong—and why, because HTVC010P itself can have no parasites, it probably really is the commonest organism on the planet. But if you accept viruses as living organisms, HTVC01P is certainly the king.
