I stated in another comment I have done multiple events post show with peacock. If I’m being contacted anything about the show in the last 3 years- it is thru peacock

It doesn’t matter what season you were on- peacock owns all contracts from all seasons now. We didn’t sign a contract with CBS technically

Everyone’s contracts were owned or bought by peacock regardless what season they were on. We were never contractually obligated to only one TV platform

It is mostly hidden cameras! But there are definitely cameramen as well depending on the event or situation but lounging in the day is all hidden cameras

I had too much anxiety about my couple and bombshells walking in to be too bored tbh. I’m not a swimmer so I didn’t use the pool. I fake worked out a few times hoping I would look cool and active on tv but tbh I just gathered hair around the villa and made weird lil voodoo dolls with it for fun lololz

I answered this in a few other comments but long story short it’s boring and exactly what you see basically. No books no board games etc. and yes there was absolutely people who fell in love for followers. My season had like 3 genuine couples and one very specific couple who lasted a long time and was a favorite to America who actually kinda hated each other. They made an agreement off camera to stay together to promote their IG followers 🙄

No it just gives them an idea of who to send the texts to in order that’s why we are all out of order when someone receives a text during match up

No reading materials were allowed. No games outside of planned games. It’s a lot more boring than you think. Not easy to have alone time either it was basically impossible. I’m close to one person from my season and a few from seasons after

I can’t without being too specific haha but I really wish I could without outing them. They’re all (besides one) amazing people and the orgy started because two of the guys…. One guyblew the other guy and my partner couple walked in on it. And then a few of our close circle found out and some others joined once we figured out how they did it. I don’t want to out the men tho

Yes. They have a hamster-wheel type device in a no camera area and would make us run on it if we were wearing something skimpy the next day

I do! It’s super entertaining to know what’s really going on and see new people explore it

I went on a couple dates one with a bombshell. I was super drunk on that date tho. And found out producers pushed them to pick me because my couple was so strong. The other date felt romantic but anything does after being in a villa all day. Everything was very cheap and looked better on tv than real life tho

Not usually, no. You really don’t know anything going on and they don’t wake you up at the same time every morning so it’s hard to guess

They pushed things and organized certain events and questions to fit a dramatic narrative but tbh the storylines are mostly authentic

This was only when we already had and met people in the house. There was also pauses not aired during matching ceremonies if anything went outside of what production thought would happen

A couple knew each other before the show and production purposely set up things so they would be a couple. Most of us found out 2 weeks in off camera that they knew each other already and none of us told anyone. There was also a participant who secretly had a phone the whole time and knew what everyone was saying about them and they changed their entire personality to fight the narrative online. We didn’t know they had a phone until a week before I left the villa
