8 Terrible TV Families That Prove Blood Isn’t Always Thicker Than Water

Family, they say, is everything. Even though they fall out sometimes, they are always the default fallback for most people when everything and everyone else fails. These TV families leave their fans feeling grateful for the little chaos in their homes. For these TV characters, love takes a back seat to drama and a pocket knife or two in the back. Think betrayals and backstabbing, all-around messiness, sometimes literally. In these families, wild sibling rivalries, explosive fights, battles over wealth and power, and relentless scheming replace affection. These are TV families that put themselves second, prioritizing business, power, influence, and ambition above everything else.

Love Island Season 8 Girls May Be Ditching the “Girls’ Girl” Pact, and I Think It’s for the Best!

In previous seasons of Love Island, fans saw the women try to rally around one another, build friendships, and support each other. Although they mostly just tried to, because, again, like fans love to remind them, "it's Love Island and not Friendship Island," and they all, at some point, have to put themselves first. Regardless, fans of the show haven't stopped drooling over Love Island Season 6's Power Puff Girls (Leah, Serena, and Jana) while also wondering which friendships from previous seasons are still pretty solid.
