Taylor MartinA “love island“, is gearing up for the Season 8 finale alongside fans across America. To celebrate, she has teamed up with FanDuel Casino to launch the gaming company’s second collaboration between ITV Studios and the beloved “Love Island” franchise. In an exclusive interview with The Blast, Martin, who was recognized as one of the stars of Season 6 of the hit reality series, shared her thoughts on why FanDuel is the perfect partner for her. She also revealed which couple she hopes to leave Fiji with the huge $100,000 Grand Prize on Sunday July 12.
‘Love Island’ Alumna Kaylor Martin Talks Partnering With FanDuel For Their Second Collaboration With The Iconic Reality Show
FanDuel Casino is proud to present an exclusive partnership with “Love Island”, offering a variety of themed slot games. The latest addition to this collaboration, Love Island: Unlocked, introduces an exciting new “Select Character” mode. This innovative feature allows players to immerse themselves in the game by stepping into the shoes of their favorite islander, providing a unique and personalized gaming experience unlike any other.
The game draws inspiration from the series, including ‘Bombshell in The Villa’, which adds bonus symbols to the reels, and ‘Dumping Night’, which refreshes the reels for maximum winning potential.
Speaking to The Blast, Martin said FanDuel’s partnership with “Love Island” appealed to her because it offered a betting experience that she said was aimed at women rather than the traditionally male-dominated gaming scene.
“My boyfriend loves going to the casino, and every time I go to the casino or see guys playing, I always see all guys, so we finally have a game for girls!” she said.
Martin is teaming up with FanDuel to host a ‘Love Island’ finale watch party on July 12
To celebrate the launch of Love Island: Unlocked, FanDuel is hosting the ultimate “Love Island” watch party at the Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey on July 12. From the moment guests arrive, they will be immersed in elements and games inspired by the iconic television series. There will also be a giant FanDuel Casino Jackpot wheel, giving everyone a chance to advance.
Participants who successfully complete all three rounds will have the chance to choose a FanDuel Casino Rewards Box, which will be opened live at the end of the finale episode. Even though only one lucky guest will win the $100,000 grand prize, every participant will walk away a winner and receive exclusive merchandise and in-app bonuses.
Martin told The Blast that she was “excited” about the finale viewing party, adding that she was even more eager to connect with fans of the series. “I’m so excited to meet the fans on Sunday and I’m so grateful for everything that’s come out of the show. One lucky winner will also win $100,000, so I can’t wait to see it all unfold,” she said.
Which ‘Love Island’ couple is Martin rooting for?
For those who may have missed last night’s episode, the final four couples heading to the “Love Island” Season 8 finale are Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff, Aniya Harvey and Carl Lee Schmidt, Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou, and Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea.
However, only one couple can leave the “Love Island” villa as winners, and according to Martin, it’s obvious which one should be. “Personally I love Trinity and Bryce, just give them the $100,000 now,” she said. “They’re my favorite, and I think the crowd’s favorite too; they’re just the cutest. They’ve been in the Villa with each other since the jump, and it’s been great to watch them grow up.”
Regarding other couples, Martin noted that many have had their ups and downs; however, she had difficulty firing any of them due to the pressure of being on the show.
“I also understand how difficult it is in there – to see red flags – because when you’re in the villa you really, really wear your love glasses and you can’t escape anything,” she said. “In the villa it’s difficult so I can’t really judge any of the couples, even Melanie and Sincere, because I was in the exact same situation and I feel for her now.”
Martin learned a lot about herself during her time on the show
Martin, who spent all of season 6 of “Love Island” with Aaron Evans, has never been shy about talking about his time on the show. According to a previous report from The Blast, she recently said she would defend herself more if given the chance.
“I watch myself on TV and I say, ‘Baby, get up! Speak for yourself!'” she said.
While she describes herself as “very shy” in the villa, watching the season back has given her a boost of confidence.
What else is Martin working on these days?
Aside from her partnership with FanDuel, Martin told The Blast that she has many exciting opportunities coming up that her fans will want to keep an eye out for.
“I just released a podcast called ‘Kaylor’s Crash Out!'” she revealed.
Soon, Martin will interview some of his Season 6 co-stars, including Serena Page, JaNa Craig and Kendall Washington.
As for what else she has in store, Martin said fans will just have to stay tuned.
“In the future I’m launching something really cool, I can’t say what yet because it’s top secret, but I’m really excited to be able to tell the world about it soon.”
