I Snuck Onto The Love Island Season 8 Reunion Pink Carpet! | BiancaReneeToday

I snuck onto the Love Island reunion pink carpet. Ah! Was not supposed to be there, total accident, but it worked out, it was so much fun, and I got to meet the entire Love Island USA cast from Season 8. Some people were really chill, some people were a little standoffish, and it might not be who you think. Let's get into it with a little story time. If you're new here, I'm Bianca Renee, you're watching Bianca Renee Today, and I usually talk about natural hair, curly hair, but I do have an obsession with Love Island. I've watched it since 2020, but went back and watched UK, USA, Australia. I'm in there, I'm an OG, I'm not new to this Love Island Season 6 and 7 entourage. I expect movie night, I expect costume, and I expect dates, but I digress. So this all started with me already being at Universal Studios. I was literally leaving the park, and I was like, okay, maybe we'll just do Waterworld, stay a little bit longer, and as I'm walking to Waterworld and saying goodbye to people, because we were leaving, someone was like, wait, what is that? What is that pink carpet? It says Love Island Reunion, and I was like, what? Wait a minute, it's a reunion! What, it's a reunion tonight? So I'm freaking out because I knew about the reunion, because I actually applied to be in the audience for the reunion, because they film the reunion like a month before they air it, and actually, let me look up the times if I can find it, because the actual taping is like an all-day thing. So I was confused because they had all these fans at the gate, but I knew there was no way they were about to start this reunion at like 8 p.m. Okay, here it is, here's the casting. We're looking for a huge Love Island fan to get a free invite to watch the reunion. Taping, there's three options to apply for. I don't remember the exact times, but I want to say the first option was like 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and then like 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., like it was an all-day taping. So the fact that they're gonna cut that down into two hours, it made me like, no, I want to see it all. So once I see the carpet and I see people are like in stanchions trying to see, I was like, well, this is how my night's gonna end. I'm going to get in there, I just don't know how yet. So plot twist, Love Island reunion is happening here tonight. It's Peacock, of course we're here at Universal. So now, we all have to finesse our way in. Stand by, stand by. So we're walking, the security guard goes, hey, if you guys want to go, you should stay here, they're gonna let people in. We were like, oh, okay, stay there. Then all of a sudden, someone else comes in and says, yeah, we're gonna let people in, go to the other side. So then we go to the other side, and now a bunch of people are gathering. I'm like, all right, it's time to finesse. It's time to make sure that we are in there. So I scan the area, and I see where they're probably going to open it closest to the pink carpet. So I pull up, I'm like, okay, we gotta stand right here, we gotta be in the front, we gotta look our best, even though we just spent an entire day at Universal Studios sweating. Makeup is old from like 6 a.m., it's hot, but we've come too far, and we had to make it work. So now we're standing there, right? And I look across, and I see them open the gate. On the other side, I was like, who told us to come over here? I'm so upset. Now they already got their front spots. So we're still waiting, I'm like, okay guys, they're gonna come over here. I hear them talking, they're talking about don't rush, don't run in, we're gonna slowly choose people. So I tell everybody to lock arms, right? When I move, you move, just like that. So then I see that main girl again, and she's like, okay, so you, you, and she points to me, and I'm like, if you pick me, you pick my whole crew as well. So we're all locked arms, and we all walk in, and next thing you know, we are inside, ready to see all of the Love Island cast. So I'm used to suddenly being in places that I have no business being in all the time, but for my curl friends, like, this is kind of new to them. So it was really exciting that they not only came originally to come to a curly master class with me and learn how to do their curls, they're also learning how to finesse, how to get next to celebrities, how to get the photo, and it just became a great finessing experience. So proud of my curl friends' first finesse, so glad we did it together. What? So now I'm asked, okay, who do you guys wanna meet? Who's your favorite? Let's get you a photo. So we're waiting, waiting, waiting, and they start off with the Casa boys, and at first I was like, who are these guys? I'm like, these are the guys that came up on the ship. Is that the guy that was, like, squatting Anaya? Then we see Corey. Corey's really nice. He's going up to everybody. We see Gall. People are excited for Gall, I guess. He's walking around. Everyone's nice. Like, they're probably really taking this in. Like, they were on a couple episodes, and now everyone knows who they are. Like, it's a really crazy concept. So now they go on. Then we see Sean and Beatriz. Beatriz looked beautiful. They weren't really, like, together, but they did kind of walk the carpet together. Sean was really nice, and they definitely stopped to take photos with everybody. But then, that same producer girl, whoever's running talent, she goes, hey, do you guys wanna get closer? And I was like, sure. She's like, follow me. My favorite words. Out of the entire crowd, she asked me if we wanted to go. So I rally up my girls, and now we walk out, and now we're walking, walking, walking, and we're getting closer to the main carpet area. Now, let's talk about this main carpet area. This is actually a fake red carpet, pink carpet. This has nothing to do with the actual taping of the show. Turns out, this carpet was just filmed so that they can get the pink carpet shots, but the reunion wasn't going to be filmed until the very next day. So I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait. So they're all dressed up, hair and makeup, just to take photos right now, and then they have to do this all again tomorrow. That reason alone, besides the obvious, is why I would not be on Love Island, because they gotta get ready every day. Like, they're used to it, because they have to do it every day on the show, but full hair and makeup, I guess. So here we are walking in closer, and we can't believe we are really in here at this point. But notice, there are actually no photographers. It's not a real pink carpet. They actually just had a flashing light that made it look like a bunch of paparazzi was taking photos of them, but there was, there were no cameras. It was literally like a fan fest where they just had a selected stand-in audience to be there and clap and cheer when they said. There was no press. It's truly a production. Now let's get to the main cast. So now that we're over here, we have more time to talk to the islanders, because this is the last stop, and they have more time to just talk. But now we're the last to see them, because where we were was the beginning. So out of all the couples, only Kasey and Titi walked together. Kenzie and Dylan, they also walked together. Interesting enough, Corbin and Parmita did not walk together. I did hear that they are broken up now, but I don't know if they were supposed to be broken up then, per se. I don't know. Parmita looked gorgeous. She was next to the other CASA girls after the CASA boys. They were all nice. They all took pictures. So let's talk about Corbin. Corbin is a personal fan favorite of mine. He started off, you know, very Corbin GPT, but then he opened up, we saw his personality, and I always really liked Corbin. So I was really excited to see him. He was one of the only people I wanted to see. He was really friendly. You could tell that he was just hyped that people knew who he was, and this is a whole new stardom, and he was really cool. He took time to talk to everybody. Everybody was going, Melanie, can I get a kiss? And ladies, they were making him say these catchphrases, and this is probably the first time that they're actually around a whole bunch of their fans versus people that they just meet out and about. So it's crazy to hear people give you catchphrases that you never even knew you had. Next, let me talk about KC and TT. You can't make me hate KC. I'm sorry. According to threads, I'm a KC defender. We don't have to get into it now, but I personally don't think the word disrespectful is the right word choice. Did he say some rude things at CASA? Sure. Is grandma the biggest diss? No. Did the girls say much meaner things back at the villa? Yeah. When it came to heated between TT and Serenity and Anaya, it got really messy. I think everybody got a little too angry. They all apologized, and I thought that was cool. So I was rooting for KC and TT. They're my winners. I know. Some people are gonna be mad. So I was really excited to see them. They did walk together. There tried to be some rhetoric online trying to say that KC and TT were rude, and they didn't want to take pictures with his fans. No, no, no, no, no. Run the tape. They were cool. I told him that I'd been fighting strangers on threads for him. I've been defending you all my life. That's what I like to hear. He was cool. He stopped to take photos. The girl in front of me was kind of doing too much, trying to make everybody do her sorority symbol, and everybody was confused, and it took a lot of time away from all the other fans, but they still tried. They still did it. TT, she wasn't the most smiley, but after you get on a show and you come off and people are giving you all this hate, how would you act if you knew everybody was talking mess about you, and now for the first time, you're about to be in a whole crowd of people that watch the show, and you don't know if these people like you or if they're the people that were talking mess about you. She doesn't deserve all the hate that she was getting, and if I were her, I'd be a little nervous to be around fans too, but even with that said, I think she looked gorgeous, and she did stop and take photos. Exhibit A. So leave my clients alone. Now I'll say Kenzie and Dylan, they also talked to fans a lot. They were having full conversations, super nice. Out of the core four, let's do a little rating. Who was the sweetest, most nicest, genuine out of them? I would say Melanie. Melanie was giving heartfelt hugs to people, took time to talk to people. She said, of course we'll take a photo, like super sweet, super genuine, just as I thought she would be, so I loved seeing Melanie. I would say out of the four, she was the most genuine and sincere with the fans in the booth. Second, I would give it to Kada. Kada was also super fun, very talkative, doing videos with people, taking photos, listening to people's stories. Kada was also really cool. The people that talked the least, I would say would be Trinity and Anaya. Now, Trinity being a winner, she was being pulled by production. For people to say, oh, they didn't take pictures with me, they didn't do this, they didn't really have a choice. It's still a show, it's still a production, they're being told where to go. So it's like, hey, go interact with those fans over there. Okay, that's enough. Now come over here, and now go over there, and production is telling them where to go. So if they didn't take a picture or stop in your section, it really wasn't their fault. They're being pulled left and right, and as the winner of the show, she actually had the least amount of time, probably because she was doing interviews and had to get more solo shots. I saw the least interaction, at least where I was. She could've talked to more people in the beginning of the carpet that I couldn't see, but once it came to my section where I was, she really didn't have enough time to truly hang out with everybody, but I do think she still stopped for photos at the beginning of the carpet. Anaya, she was really nice. People asked for photos, and she was like, hey, everybody, sure. But I would say there wasn't a lot of back and forth, standing around conversation the way that Keita and Melanie did. But once again, this is so new to everybody. Imagine being a regular person, and then you go on a show, and you're stuck in this bubble in Fiji, and you come back, and now everybody knows not just who you are, but your entire love life history with this person that you're talking to now. It's gotta be the most drastic flip of a switch ever. So not everybody's gonna be red carpet ready, social media trained, and how to interact with fans. This is a completely new territory. So I don't think anybody was exactly rude, or I'm giving everybody grace for this being new to them, and they were being pulled back production left and right. So my assumption is, when we watch the reunion tomorrow, you're gonna see all this footage of the pink carpet, and it's gonna look like they took pictures, all this paparazzi was there, and then they walked into the studio and filmed this two-hour reunion, when in reality, they walked the carpet the day before, got dressed, hair and makeup again, and then did a 10-hour shoot the very next day. Insane. So out of the entire cast, if I had to rate most friendly, most talkative, most sincere, top to bottom, I would probably give the most fun and hype to Corbin. The most like, so nice to meet you, hugged, loving to Melanie. Funnest girl, probably Kenzie and Kaida would be like a tie. Sincere, actually we didn't talk about sincere. Sincere was kind of there, and then he wasn't. Like, I don't know if production never told him to go to the fans, but he was kind of in and out. But he also got a lot of hate, so I feel like I'd be a little standoffish around people too. Oh, another crowd favorite would be, of course, Carl. Carl was also very sweet, very kind, just as we thought, just as he is on the show. That's who he is from what I got in those 10 minutes I was around him in person. So the most sweetest and genuine, I would say Melanie and Carl. Gabriel, gotta talk about Gabriel. Gabe was smizing all through the carpet. He was doing the little eyebrow thing. He was serving face. He's a very attractive man, so the ladies loved him. He was cool. He was very, like, suavemente, though. Beatrice, Sean, Kenzie, and Dylan spent a lot of time talking to people, having conversations. I'd give them, like, most conversational. And then the people that I saw have the least amount of interaction, at least in my section, could be totally different from the beginning, would be Trinity, Anaya, and Sincere. But nobody was rude, and no one did anything wrong. Zach was cool. He definitely stopped to take photos and everything. He was kind of in and out too, so I feel like Zach and Sincere were kind of in and out. Bryce was really cool. He definitely took time to talk to fans, take photos, take videos. One of my friends that I was with really wanted to stay because she really wanted to meet Bryce, but unfortunately, she, like, had to go. It was getting late. We were there for a very long time. So we asked Bryce. I wanted him just to say hi to her name, but when I gave the phone to my friend, she had him say, can you say I love you? And then he responded with this. Bryce, who's the elephant? Hi, Alana. I only love Trinity. Okay, okay, valid. I get it. So this was all so random after a full day of being at a theme park. We all had 5% on our phones at this point. We ended up borrowing a charger from some stranger behind us that was so kind enough to share with us, and I was ready to leave after I saw Corbin, Casey, and TT, but I'm like, I made it this far. I might as well see the Cor4, and I was holding on to, like, 2% of juice, and I needed my phone to call an Uber home. It was a lot. It was stressful, but we got it done. My girls that wanted photos, we got the photos that they wanted with their favorite islanders. It was a successful, random side quest that no one expected. Side quest on three. Cor5. So overall, if I do post this video on time, that means the reunion is going to be tomorrow on Peacock. I'm so excited to see what is gonna go down, who would you have wanted a photo with, and what do you think's gonna go down at the reunion tomorrow?

That is how you end the night. What? The entire Love Island cast? We all have 4% battery, so let's see if we make it home. But thanks for watching Bianca Renee today.
