CBS Hopes You'll Play Catch-Up with a Saturday Love Island Repeat

If you've missed Love Island, the new five-nights-a-week CBS reality series, you're not alone. A huge hit in its native UK, the US version debuted earlier this week to disappointing ratings, sparking early speculation that CBS could pull the plug on the series before crowning a victor  and/or reduce the number of nights it airs.

Instead, for now it seems the network is doubling down, choosing late this week to add yet another hour of the show to their primetime schedule tonight, a repeat of the show's second episode. 

ENCORE PRESENTATION: Wednesday night's episode of Love Island was the series' most action-packed to date, with Kyra choosing her man, Caro in full meltdown mode, and the introduction of two hunky new Islanders. 8:00 PM ET on CBS 

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: It's been twenty years since John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette died in a plane crash off the coast of Massachusetts.
