Summary

We introduce you to the islanders competing for love on Season 8, premiering tonight on Peacock.  From a DJ and model to a Paralympian medalist to a daughter of an NBA player, many of these 20 somethings will soon become household names and online fodder for the next six weeks. One contestant even drew the ire from his town’s mayor, clearly upset that he quit his job as police officer to be on the reality show.  We also discuss the show’s success rate at finding lasting relationships, you might be surprised how many couples from previous seasons are still together.
