E1158 - Love Island Historian's Honest Opinion On Season 8

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap! 

Anna Peele, author of Enter The Villa, IS BACK to put a final bow on Love Island Season 8, from the online backlash against Zach and Kayda, to Melanie and Sincere's post-villa future, Brinity's best shot at lasting, and how fame changes everything once islanders get their phones back. Plus, Anna gives behind-the-scenes insight into Love Island production, Beyond the Villa, the pressures of reality TV fame, and who could actually make sense as the next Bachelor. You won't want to miss it :)
