something i just considered is that they could also use Katy's budget to get two solid B/C list female stars as opposed to a singular A lister/high B lister. one who is Gen Z/millenial, and another who is Gen X or older (similar to Nicki and Mariah in S12). might be easier
also People posted this article about Jelly Roll: Jelly Roll Jokes He's 'Accepted the Job' to Replace Katy Perry on American Idol — but 'They Haven't Offered It'. would love to have seen him replace Luke, but he is touring all throughout September and October which means he is out unfortunately.
I still can't @ the fact that Scott van-der-Sluis did Love Island 3 times in ONE year. That is just insanity, lmao. I haven't watched UK10 which is the season he lasted the longest - though seen him on US Season 5 and Games Season 1 but he barely lasted anytime on those, lol. So I feel I don't really know him that well compared to other contestants.
Today was supposed to be the last day to apply, but I'll leave apps open for one more day with the hopes of starting on Monday.
It looks like I'll have at least four rankers, but please send applications when you can @Alex95, @FrogLenzen, @totes4totes, @Erestor. And if anyone else is interested in participating, then let me know.
