Warren and Mariam have done a video on it being cancelled as well
They're very honest about wanting fame and being disappointed that they didn't get the Love Island treatment
-Warren was approached to go on Love Island Series 3 and was cast for the original line up but he didn't want to quit his job (which he would've had to do due to them giving him such short notice) - they sent a taxi to his house to pick him up but he didn't get in it.
-Instead he agreed with producers to go in as an intruder later in the series so he could give his work enough notice in advance, but then they didn't want to put him in Casa Amor because and they didn't put him in the Sam/Mike vs Two Newbies vote either because they wanted to make sure he got in the main villa.
-After a week of being in Mallorca with no phone/contact with home/being sequestered his family started to get worried because he wasn't popping up on TV, and in the end producers said it was too late to put him in and promised he would be on Survival of the Fittest instead
-Mariam was recruited for Series 2 of Love Island, she was supposed to go in as an intruder and after the first episode aired they rang her up asking her which of the guys she fancied, but then she chickened out afterwards and decided not to go in :laugh:
-Mariam said Survival of the Fittest 'had more black people in it' but 'it got cut', whatever that means? Unless she's talking about them being cut from Love Island/under-edited on SOTF
-They both think it's ridiculous how little ITV2 promoted the show compared to Love Island (Tristan & Mettisse said this as well) and they thought they'd be signing up to a show just as big/get the same recognition.
-Warren/Maz and Tristan/Mettisse both think the show should've focused less on challenges and more on love to link it more to Love Island and the Love Island fans
-Mariam says the agents/managers that promised them things after the show didn't even reply to their emails and didn't prioritise them, they were just waiting for the Love Island cast
-The homecoming after SOTF was disappointing for everyone, they thought they'd all be travelling back home together and have a welcoming party waiting for them at the airport but they all got sent to different airports and it was just a couple family members coming to pick them up while everyone else walked past them :laugh: They got recognised more in the South African airport than they did in the UK :joker:
-Maz thinks it flopped because there were too many eliminations and viewers didn't get to know people properly on the show
-She also basically indirectly said that white girls/white people get given the better opportunities (Love Island) as opposed to the black girls/black people (SOTF) :clap1:
