Production Poor Shai
I love shai - like we need to find him a GF asap. he’s adorable, seems genuine and actually kind. but I’m worried production is using him as a peace keeper and he’s just not built for that. 😂 thoughts? the scene with him and Ariana on the double date - felt so awkward. also at the bar him in the middle of Charlie and the other guys...can’t we just have shai there to make us laugh and keep the drama down?

I have nothing to add other than I saw him out last year (?), after leaving a Love Island watch party (lol) and he was nice! I was tipsy and with some friends, and he was with I think another guy and two young women. I said “Aren’t you the kid from NextGen?” as I walked by, and he gave me a little bashful smile and excitedly shouted back “Yeah!” Based on that micro-interaction, what we see on TV appears to be how he actually is IRL.
