Vanity Fair contributing editor Anna Peele joins Game of Roses to discuss her new book, Enter the Villa: The Unauthorized Reality Behind Love Island. From producer intervention and casting philosophy to gameplay strategy, parasocial fame, Rob Rausch, Love Island USA's evolution, and why the franchise has become reality television's premier competitive format, Anna gives an insider's perspective on how one of the biggest shows in the world actually works. Plus, BachelorClues and PaceCase debate whether reality TV is entering a new era where contestants—and audiences—fully understand the game.
