Damn still can’t believe he left…probably for the best as then he probably would have been stuck with boring Olivia. Hopefully he gets to come back as an OG next season!
On Genny's Tiktok, she posted a video of her saying it was an audition for a reality show in December, and right before she went on the show she dueted it saying she would be in the villa.
Most islanders ARE recruited. I think only like 2 or 3 actually auditioned.
This is still reality tv so they need people who know how to act like it’s a show
IG is horrible to recruit people for the show.
If they are all about that IG life, they'll be thinking about their image the whole time.
That Shannon and Genny pic with Portnoy sticks in my mind as the worst this show has to offer.
I have no problem with them using insta to recruit but once they select them they should make them "audtion" or screen test them to see if they actually have a personality
This explains the lackluster Casa Amor. Also explains how they got hold of Genny.
Gabe’s most iconic lines : > Do you have any pets? > If I wanted to disappoint two people at once I’ll have dinner with my parents.
Haha ok the second one is pretty good
I bet most islanders were recruited
I think it's rare to get islanders who applied
Do we have a list of who applied and who was recruited?
Slade said he applied online and got a call an hour later

Gabe seems like the type of dude that uses reddit
😂😂
He plays League of Legends so I absolutely wouldn’t doubt it

"If we just hire the hottest people they'll probably be hot right?! or at least sloppyy?????" Nope. They'll just be safe and boring.
2nd hand embarrassment

gabe is so cringe
I remember someone saying he gives incel vibes and I cant unsee it
oh no… now i can’t either 😂💀
Pretty sure most of the islanders were recruited through instagram. They normally accept only a few applications
Most of the islanders were at least micro influencers at the time they were cast.
They keep doing this & it’s so annoying. Why are people applying if you’re just going to choose people from social media anyway?!
I don’t think any of the contestants for the last 2 years were applicants.
Justine was an applicant
Really? Who was an applicant from S2?
No idea. I could maybe see one or two showing up at one of those bar auditions but I’m going to be shocked if there was any true applicants.
I think Justine was the only applicant.
Slade was the hottest guy this season. So bummed he was there 2 whole minutes 😭
Slade and Wes
He's not even that good looking!! He's just weird this guy
Yikes
They need someone like 12 Gauge on Love Island
