Gather Around the Firepit: Gina and Tyler
Season 1, Ep. 14
•
Welcome back to the fifth week of the off season, and welcome back to our interview series: Gather Around the Firepit.
This week, we sit down with Gina (@ginaknight4) and Tyler (@trflach) to chat all things Love Island Season 9! Tyler critiques the villa gym, recounts his run in with The Situation (spoiler: he's short if you're 6'4), and gives Ari and Maura advice on getting their male partners to watch reality TV. Gina talks about using Love Island as a Handmaid's Tale palate cleanser, shares how UK slang has infiltrated her life, and has a hot take regarding douchebag laughs. Gina and Tyler talk about their love for Keenan and Tanyel, and advocate for more drunk, sneaky islanders. They discuss if Sanam will be able to go back to her job and their least favorite sounds from the show. In High Tea this week, we break down THE VIDEO I NEVER WANTED TO MAKE from Samie's YouTube channel in which she talks about her breakup with Tom and her current health scare.
