**Corbin** (1:38)
Thank you.

**Nick Viall** (1:38)
Excited to have you. I mean, just like, how is your heart, man? How are you feeling?

**Corbin** (1:42)
I feel good. You know, I mean, leaving the villa, it was for sure a 180 You know, I came in there as a regular person. You know, I could walk into an airport and stuff and no one had recognized me.
Coming out of the villa, completely different. First night I was in that hotel, I was in the lobby or something when I got booted off the villa and someone recognized me off that. I was like, whoa, this is like a little glimpse. And you were still in Fiji? I was still in Fiji, yeah. I was like, oh, this is a little glimpse of what's happening now. And then they said, oh, giving your phones back and after sun and stuff. I was like, oh, that's when anxiety started kicking. I was like, oh, snap.

**Nick Viall** (2:16)
Were you prepared for that? I mean, how familiar were you with like Love Island and just like the fan base and how intense it was?

**Corbin** (2:23)
I knew it was big because season seven, that's when I watched a little bit and I seen watch parties starting to go up and stuff. And at that time I was in Gainesville area. So I was like, oh, those bars, the college town is like, oh, they're doing watch parties. I was like, oh, this is pretty big. People are really interested in it. But I didn't really have much interest into the show. I didn't really watch too much. I didn't really get any attachment or be like, oh, this person, oh, they're moving like this, you know? I was always like, if they put me on the show, I'll do it, I guess, you know? But never was my intention to go on the show.

**Nick Viall** (2:54)
Were you scouted or like, you were scouted?

**Corbin** (2:56)
I was scouted and I thought that shit was a scam. Pretty sure everyone has said that because they reach out to Instagram DMs, everybody gets real DMs. So you're seeing someone say, hey, I work with-

**SPEAKER_3** (3:09)
Some random casting page.

**Nick Viall** (3:10)
Exactly. It's not verified or anything.

**Corbin** (3:12)
Exactly, it's just a random account. You start looking through the page, it's like, how is this the biggest show? And this person has this account type. It's not making sense, but-

**Nick Viall** (3:20)
Did you respond right away or did you wait a few days?

**Corbin** (3:22)
No, I think two people probably reached out to me in the span of like, in the scouting process, of them reaching out to my Instagram DMs, it's probably like over three months. Yeah, that was of 20, what's, we're in 2027?
So 2025, they reached out one time. I seen it and I don't think I'd done anything. And then that December, they reached out again.
