Eight singles · two bombshells you pick later

The house

No influencers. Everybody has a real job, a type on paper, and one thing they're wrong about themselves.

"I'm not a player. I'm just… available. Widely."

Type: Confident, loud, and sorry in advance.
Tell: Jokes his way out of every real feeling.

Juniper Vance

"Let's be clear. I'm not the villain. I'm the paralegal."

Beau Whitaker

29 · Landscaper, single dad · Nashville

"I've got a six-year-old. Nothing in this house scares me."

Kenzie Tran

23 · Dental hygienist by day, ring-light by night · Phoenix

Tayo Adeyemi

26 · Architecture grad, weekend DJ · Atlanta

"I came with a plan. The plan did not include her."

Type: Somebody with a plan. And a passport.
Tell: Stands on business — measured, until he isn't.

Then the road closes.

Week three: a storm shuts the only road out, and two bombshells roar in on a snowmobile. You decide who they are before the house ever finds out. That vote opens the second the Storm hits.
