  "textContent": "\"Ahoy there, perverts!\" are the first words out of Gabby Windey's mouth. The host of the new Hulu show _Love Overboard_ stands on the deck of a 280-foot superyacht named _The Chakra_ , wearing a gorgeous, slinky dress with cut-out sections. \"Welcome to _Love Overboard_!\" she says, throwing her hands over her head.\n\nThe appetite for reality shows about young, hot, stupid people competing to find love or Instagram followers, or both, is bottomless. It's a crowded field. Off the top of my head, there's _Temptation Island, Perfect Match, Love is Blind, Love Island, Too Hot to Handle, FBoy Island, Single's Inferno, The Bachelor, Are You the One?_ and _The Ultimatum_. And most of those programs have seasons in multiple countries and multiple languages. There is an endless buffet of choices for anyone who wants to watch people in bikinis backstab each other in order to make out with someone they've never met before, which is perhaps how _Love Overboard_ 's premise ended up as deranged as it is.\n\nThe contestants on _Love Overboard_ (young hot singles, duh) do not know what they have signed up for. They have agreed to go on a reality television show sight unseen, and now they are here, in what nobody wants to admit is essentially the Stanford Prison Experiment.",
