Prayers have been answered. Wishes have been granted. Finally: Olandria is a Cosmo girl. If you thought the moment ended with her interview this morning, you’re in luck: Bama Barbie also stopped by Blind Date and, thankfully, held absolutely nothing back. Team Cosmo has been thinking about reality TV all week, so Willa was definitely in that headspace. As soon as Olandria said she’d been on a show meant for finding love (and left in a successful couple), Willa knew she was in the presence of Love Island USA royalty.
I personally learned everything I’ve ever wanted to know about Olandria during the reader question segment. For example, Nic hasn’t made it down to her hometown yet but, apparently, one of her family members is eagerly waiting to have a dance battle with him. Pretty sure this should be the new standard for welcoming people into a family. Olandria opened up about knowing deep down she was destined for more than her 9-to-5, and genuinely believing she’d go back to elevator sales after leaving the villa (I almost laughed out loud at my desk when she explained why her coworkers really wanted her to get back on the clock). Speaking of the villa, she named Serena, Kordell, Leah, and Miguel as her inspirations, and revealed what her mom said when she asked for permission to make the leap into reality TV. Oh, and she also spilled a lot on her relationship with Nic. You’re just going to have to see all of that for yourself.
Willa cracked open a November 2009 Cosmo with Kim Kardashian on the cover, reminding Olandria of the time she met North West, which is a totally normal and not enviable experience! Olandria gave her best advice on knowing the difference between thirsting and yearning, when it’s time to break up with a partner, and even gave a script you can use the next time you have to have that convo. In the Love Audit, Willa got answers on Olandria’s favorite Nicolandria meme, her best off-camera memory with Ariana Madix, and the craziest DMs she’s ever received. Well, we actually didn’t get answers on that last one and…you’ll see why. Happy long weekend and happy last episode of Blind Date season 3!
