🎇[ part i ]🎇[ part ii ]🎇[ part iii ]🎇
confessions below for ig, tandy & marco! you can find their interview here!
@dragonfly1399 asks: Hiii! Um. So, um, a question for IG 👉👈 will he, um… will he teach me how to play cello? Please? It’s a big dream of mine🥺 I’ll be a good student, I promise! *wink wink*
IG: (whistles) “I always did want to do some tutoring. (wiggles his eyebrows suggestively) If I’m still available after this stint, I’ll drop by. Just drop your info in my DMs.” (Marcos chuckles, Tandy shakes her head) “What? You do realize the odds of us all staying in the villa are about—“ (counts with his fingers)
M: “You’re actually doing the maths for this? (shakes his head) The best odds is if two of us stays. (IG sighs) Or something like that, anyways.”
T: “Anyways— cellist really? You’re whole vibe says indie rock, what’s that about? (Marco nods, IG opens his mouth to speak) And better not be a sob story please, we’ve already gone over our odds.”
IG: “I had a knack for it as a kid and people said I could make a decent living off of it. So I did. No sob story here.” (Marco bursts out laughing)
@richdesire says: hiiii marco *waves flirtatiously* tell me about your favorite places to go on a date? what qualities do you look for in a partner? have you ever been stood up or stood someone else up? i noticed you have a lot of tattoos, which is your most meaningful? can you step on me pls?
IG: (cackles) “Holy shit! That’s a lot of questions for you, pretty boy. I bet Tandy and I can answer a few for you.” (Marco raises a brow)
T: “I bet we could. Hmm, seeing that Marco here has never technically been on an date, I bet they’d say— (clears their throat, semi-italian accent) Ay, somewhere private, just the two of us, private chef…”
M: “It’s all in the tongue, (Tandy practices a bit) yeah, there you got it. And honestly, going out maybe trying one of those DIY classes together. I rather have something to converse about other than our jobs. (IG agrees) Qualities in a partner, well patience is one, someone I can hold a conversation with is two. Besides that, I’m not really sure.”
IG: “You want someone to vibe with, nothing wrong with that, boyyo.” (puts an arm around Marco)
M: “I stood up a crowd at a pub. It wasn’t intentional or anything, I was awful sick.” (Tandy cringes) “Yeah, I haven’t eaten pancakes since. About the tattoos, most are tokens for special moments. I’ve got one for the first mixtape I made, another one for my first gig, one for my best mate Hanni…the others are random shit Hanni and my mates thought were cool.”
T: “Is this unicorn one of them?” (Marco smirks)
IG: “You got a unicorn? Let me see!”
M: “Oh, and the thing about stepping on you. If it’s alright with you, I rather we just exchange numbers.”
@/anon says: What do you guys think about MC’s and their ex in the villa, together?
T: “It’s a bunch of rubbish. They’re basically living in Suresh’s shadow. It’s f***ing ridiculous. Like give them a break. So they were ready to propose, really scary shit. Get over yourselves.”
IG: “It’s bound to be awkward for anyone trying to go after either one of them, but if you’re gonna let the ex get in the way, why are you even here? Shoot your shot or get out of my way. I had hope for Finny boy, but he was just all talk.” (Marco nods)
M: “Why sweat it? He doesn’t even have the balls to actually apologize. All MC wants is a someone reliable, who can take things as they come. And I’ve got a feeling we’re doing a lot better than everyone else in that villa right now.”
@/anon says: If you guys had the choice to couple up with someone, who would it be?
IG: "Before the last episode, I’d have said Finn or MC. Now, it’s just MC."
T: "A bit controversial, but Dana. Maybe, MC, but I need to see whether they’re into their ex or not."
M: "Don’t know— I want to say MC. But, if things had to go in a different direction, Kat. No I’m not explaining what I mean by different direction."
stay tuned for more beach hut confessions for and feel free to once again, submit your asks to the bombshells. either way, i'm putting them in the hot seat.
thanks to everyone submitting asks, the bombshells are ready for any questions you throw at them (except ig obviously). but, before they can answer your asks, how about you get to know them a bit? this takes place after certain events (leaked baggage claim) so spoilers ahead!
✖️so guys, tell us a little bit more of yourselves.
IG: "What more is there to say? I'm IG, twenty-five, bi, and a cellist. I'm a good cook, so yes you can expect breakfast after a night with me. (Marco nudges him) Oi, blondie, I promise you a stack if we make it past our first day. (Marco chuckles) My hands are sweaty, shit. Didn't think I'd be this nervous and I've played in front of hundreds of people. (Marco laughs, Tandylin cracks a smile) Don't you both start. We can't all pop stars like you, Pretty boy."
M: "You think I'm pretty?" (Tandylin snorts, IG shakes his head) "I'm Marco, twenty-seven, pan, model and musican. I've never been in a relationship. (IG and Tandylin raise a brow) Music has always been a priority and getting into anything serious— well it should get more than scraps of my attention. I'm here for a taste of something serious and of course the fun."
T: "Who isn't here for the fun? Have you seen the islanders? It's time they get something worth talking about. I'm Tandylin, but everyone just calls me Tandy. I'm twenty-four, bi, and also a musician. (The three give each other a look) You'd think they mix it up, but I'm sure they knew what they were doing when they chose us as the bombshells. Poor Kat, she thinks she the queen of the villa, but little does she know. People bore me easily, they have to have layers and MC is definitely ticking a few boxes. (Marco and IG nod)
✖️on the topic of ticking a few boxes, what are your types?
T: "Type? It's cliche but physically I don't have one. If you look at my exes they're all different sorts. They've got to have some fire to them— someone who has ambitions. If you're telling me that you're fine with mediocre, babes, you're not for me."
M: (IG whistles) “There’s no point on sharing my type, right? (IG and Tandy giggle) I haven’t had a serious relationship— lots of flings that haven’t amounted to anything. I sound like a downright tool. (Marco huffs, Tandy pats their knee) They were all consensual, always honest with them. There’s really no time to waste with lying and shit like that. To answer the question, someone with a little patience.”
IG: “Pfft, that’s not where I saw that answer going. I honest have a bad habit of dating red heads. (Tandy turns to give him look) Don’t you be getting any ideas, Tandy! (Marco laughs, Tandy rolls their eyes) It not like I look specifically for red heads, but my last two exes just happen to have that in common…I’m a long relationship type of guy, so I’m gonna need someone who I can vibe with.”
✖️looks or personality?
M: “I’ve done looks. So definitely looking for someone with more…depth.”
T: “Why can’t it be both? Why do I need to compromise?” (IG snorts)
IG: “What Tandy said.”
✖️turn-on and turn-offs?
IG: “Easy. Turn-offs: awful listener, rude to wait staff, and doesn’t get my name right. (Tandy raises a brow) I had someone call me Iggy the whole date, despite how many times I corrected them. Turn-ons: tattoos, good listener, loves hugs, nice lips, a nice arse wouldn’t hurt and doesn’t ask me for my name.”
T: (shakes their head) “You’re asking for a miracle on that last one. Hi, I’m IG is bound to get a few questions, it was practically the first one out my mouth. Anyways, turn-offs: biphobia, clingy partners, awful music taste and disorganized. Turn-ons: nice thighs, can hold a conversation, piercings and not shy to try out a few things.”
M: “Awful taste in music? What does that even mean? (Tandy mocks them) Turn-offs: liars, I’m with Tandy on clingy partners and jealousy. Turn-ons: honesty, tattoos (IG elbows him), a good sense of humor and nice bum.”
✖️worst dates?
T: “Someone took me out for dinner and then they did the whole I lost my wallet. Like, the bloke heard I was doing well and thought I’d pay for the meal. Something about feminism. I paid for my food and left them there.”
M: “That’s a shitty date. It’s either you offer to pay the whole meal or ask if they’d like to split the check. Like, f***, I don’t date and I know that shit doesn’t play out well. You might as well sit your arse home. (IG shakes his head, smiling) I have to have a date first to spill.”
IG: (slowly come down a laugh) “I can’t with you two! Worst date I had— they got tickets to see local orchestra and then got upset when I didn’t sit with them. I’m second chair and no way in hell was I going to put that to test. I tried to explain that to them but they didn’t care. (IG shrugs) It worked out for me, it was the best concert I had and they never called back. I guess their embarrassment got the best of them.”
✖️biggest romantic gesture?
IG: “I got one of my mates, with a landscaping business to plant a few flowers that spelt out I love you on their lawn.” (Tandy laughs)
M: “That’s a thing? I bought someone I was seeing, not technically dating, their first car.”
T: “You bought someone you were seeing but not technically dating, a car? Where’ve you been my whole life? (IG cackles, Marco breaks into a smile) Hmm…let me think about this one. Ooh, I know I wrote them a song.” (IG asks what song, Tandy winks)
✖️have you ever cheated?
T: (Tandy winces) “Yes. (Marco and IG turn toward them) Not my proudest moment. I was angry with life and I took it out on the wrong person. I got help and learned healthier coping mechanisms. It hasn’t happened since.”
IG: “Shite, I forget there’s no such thing as privacy in here. (Gives Tandy a smile) You didn’t have to share that, but that shit is safe with me. (Tandy shrugs) And no, I haven’t cheated.”
M: “No.”
✖️have you been cheated on?
M: “That’s still a no.”
IG: “No. Or at least not that I know of.”
T: “Yes. And no, it was not the same person I cheated on.”
✖️would you guys take back an ex?
IG: “You guys sure know how to pick the questions. Taking back an ex, eh? It would depend on the circumstances of the break up . (Marco nods) I wouldn’t be able to take anyone back I couldn’t trust.”
M: “You’re going to have to come back to me. I don’t know. I’d like to say yes depending on the shared history. But— yeah, I don’t know.”
T: “No, I couldn’t. You can take my answer however you want. But, you’ve got to realize that at a certain point you’ve got to start learning to move forward.”
thanks again everyone for all your comments and support (and love, always love). the only way to cope this season is to shower our mc’s with some fun-loving group of bombshells. so I made three and then made another three. so if you’re looking for ig, marco & tandy’s interview or confessions look here. otherwise, here’s lambda, yosi & roma’s interview. feel free to send ask for any of the six!
✖️so the audience’s met the first set of bombshells, and wow! but look at you three— my days! so, tell us all, a bit about yourselves.
R: (smirks) "Requirements did say, hot— I'm Ro, short for Roma. Twenty-nine. Bi. Race-car mechanic. And yes, I do ride...in all the senses."
L: (snorts) "I guess we're coming in guns blazing (Roma shrugs, Yosi smiles) The name's Lambda, my brother the math nerd got to name me. (Yosi turns piqued with interest) Are you a nerd too, Yosi? Intelligence is sexy. (Yosi blushes) We'll get back to that later— (Roma nods) Twenty-seven, demi and professional gamer."
Y: "Professional gamer? Is that all? It felt like there was more. (Lambda winks) Right...I'm Yosiah Hamdy. It's either Yosi or Hamdy, twenty-five, figuring things out— um and, vet."
✖️ what are your types?
L: (cuts Roma off, sends them a smile) "Dr. Hamdy, huh? I like it! It’s about time we had a few people who could hold intellectual conversations. (Producers gesture for her to move on) What? That’s the best way to segue into— my type are people I can hold both intellectual conversation just like idiotic ones. Someone who enjoys a good laugh and a good meal…someone… who…doesn’t think my career is a joke—”
Y: (offers Lamba a one-sided hug, Lambda leans into him) “You’re awesome and no one else’s opinions should matter, but most times they do. It’s the human condition. (He shrugs) My type…a decent human being.” (Roma and Lambda chuckle, Yosi smiles)
R: “Ditto on that one, Doc. If only there were more than a handful. (shakes their head) My type…someone who can keep up, who’s interesting and if they want an actual relationship…(Lambda snorts, Yosi raises a brow) someone who isn’t scared to call bull-shit.”
✖️looks or personality?
L: “And what I’m getting is that no one’s ever done that. (Roma smirks) Where exactly did you say you were from? (Roma answers) Ahh…well I’ll happily take the bull-shit caller role until someone steps up. And, personality for me.”
R: “Definitely personality for me, but looks doesn’t hurt anyone right?“
Y: “That depends on your expectations. (Roma replies) I suppose not having expectation could work, theoretically. But, I’m gonna go with personality too.” (Lambda high-fives him)
✖️turn-on and turn-offs?
R: (holds out their fingers) “Turn-ons: nice hair, nice lips and knows what they’re doing. Turn-offs: a liar, tries to mansplain cars to me, generally mansplains shit and clingy.”
L: “Here I thought you liked them clingy. (Lambda giggles, Roma smiles) Hmm, I actually have to give the turn-on a good think. Turn-offs: doesn’t take my career choices seriously, can’t take an L, overbearing— (Yosi stares quizzically) Look, there’s little I can do when it comes to avoiding bruises, it’s the nature of roller derby. (Roma smirks, Lambda continues) Turn-ons: somewhat of a homebody, supportive, can cook…god knows I’m lazy and take-out is only good for so long. Doesn’t mind playing nurse once in a while. And…that’s it I guess, wait, nice eyes.”
Y: “Roller derby, what you’re a Jammer, then? (Lambda beams) My sisters a big fans of derby, maybe I’ve seen you play. Anyways, it’s not a long list for either. Turn-offs: hates animals, condescending, and chews with their mouths open. (Lambda cracks a cow joke, and burst out laughing, Yosi smiles) Turn-ons: has a great sense of humor, gets along with my family, doesn’t mind the quiet days and loves animals.”
✖️worst dates?
R: (Lambda nudges them) “I’m starting to think you are enjoying this, Lambda. (Lambda sticks her tongue out, Roma pretends to grab it) Ok, most people know this one, so I won’t be surprised if I come back to Twitter sleuths. I once went out on a date where my partner thought to surprise me with their cooking. Great cook. But bloody awful memory that one. I’ve told them time and time again that I was allergic to mushrooms and sure not twenty minutes into our food, I’m lying on the ground unable to breathe and they’re panicking. If you’re gonna go ahead and attempt to kill me at least help them out with their epi-pen.”
Y: (He cringes) “Yikes. If something like that happens here, I can help you with the application. Hopefully, it doesn’t. (Roma pounds him) Does it count if it happened before the date? (Lambda and Roma nod) So, my date offered to pick me up from the field, and they got their a lot earlier then expected. I was helping deliver colts, and they vomited.”
L: “Noo! They didn’t. (Yosi nods) How do you even go on your date after that? (Yosi answers) At least you didn’t have to go to lunch with vomit-breath. My worst date would be at the arcade. (Roma asks why) They thought I’d enjoy some competition. But, I got the satisfaction of winning and watching him storm away like a kid. Fragile masculinity. What can you do?”
✖️biggest romantic gesture?
Y: (rubs the back of his neck) “I got them a puppy.”
R: “Now, that’s sweet, Yosi. You’re a big softie aren’t ya? (Yosi blushes) Someone once filled my car with flowers.”
L: (She laughs) “I think they mean your biggest romantic gesture, Ro. (Roma shrugs) I was seeing this girl in a band once, and I liked their music so I used their music for one of my videos.”
✖️have you ever cheated or been cheated on?
L: “Never. And, yes I’ve been cheated on.”
Y: (mildly upset) “That’s shitty of them. (Lambda offers a weak smile) I don’t cheat. And as far as I know, I haven’t been cheated on.”
R: “Yes and yes. (Yosi and Lambda look on curiously) I came clean to them and then broke up. Apparently, being on-and-off all the time we kept losing track of when we were even together so a lot of what we did was cheating. It wasn’t really serious, but man did that f*** me up.”
✖️would you guys take back an ex?
R: “No.” (Producers ask them to elaborate, Roma doesn’t budge)
Y: “Um, I think so. It would depend on the situation we broke up in.”
L: “I couldn’t. No matter the situation. I hold grudges for a while and I’d hate to be the one to bring old shit back up.”
that was enlightening! glad you guys aren’t the ones in the villa with the ex. next time, we’ll have these guys answering your beach hut questions. until then, keep on sending those asks.
