NBC is keeping the surprising coming, adding six new single women to the mix on the reality series Love in the Wild. Following the departure of the two latest evicted competitors (we’ll keep their names concealed until the end of the article for those who haven’t watched the June 12th episode), NBC introduced six new ladies who are looking to make a connection on the adventure dating series.
Jenny McCarthy hosts the show, which began with seven surprise men who paired up with the single women to form trios. Now, with the addition of the six surprise women, it’s the men who get to “select another woman to be part of their trio for the next adventure — and see whether the existing relationships formed will stand the test of the new temptresses.”
According to NBC, the next episode will find the new trios shackled together and having to endure a “rigorous challenge through the jungle” as well as a trip inside a bat cave. “The winning couple will enjoy a romantic sailboat cruise, while the emotional Couple’s Choice Ceremony brings surprise rejections and sends six women home without finding love in the wild.”
The Six Surprise Women:
LINDSAY FURMAN (Age: 29) — hometown: Spring Lake; N.J.; resides in Philadelphia – The incredibly competitive event planner and model Furman seems to attract more male than female friends which could be due to her love of football. Besides being afraid of scary movies, her greatest fear is growing old alone. She’s searching for a witty man who can keep up with her.
NATALIE KORZON (Age: 24) — hometown: Ann Arbor, Mich.; resides in Santa Monica, Calif. – One of three sisters, Korzon was introduced to sports by her dad who taught all his daughters to play ice hockey. A former member of Western Michigan University women’s ice hockey team, Korzon is certain that she will dominate all of the challenges. This art teacher is sure to get creative in finding ways to lure Mr. Right.
MELISSA ALATORRE (Age: 23) — hometown: San Diego, Calif.; resides in Los Angeles — Don’t underestimate the pint-sized Alatorre; she is incredibly competitive and is not afraid to go after the guy she wants. This San Diego native is looking for a guy that is ready to commit. Her secret weapon is her piercing green eyes, which she says men have a hard time resisting.
JENNA GILLUND (Age: 23) — hometown: Chicago; resides in Dallas — As a former NBA team dancer, Gillund is tired of the dating scene in Dallas. Originally from Chicago, she describes herself as a Midwest girl who prefers a real man and appreciates a little spontaneity. Gillund is a fierce competitor and keeps her eye on the prize – finding herself a man and winning the show.
VANESSA RAMIREZ (Age: 30) — hometown: Phoenix.; resides in Phoenix — As a television host and in-game host for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ramirez knows how a team should work and will bring that knowledge to her adventures in the wild. Other pluses for this extremely competitive lady are that she is in great shape and works out daily which will help in navigating the wild terrain — although her fear of bugs may cause some problems. As far as the dating jungle goes, her last serious relationship was seven-years-long, and since then, she has yet to find “the one.”
MICHELLE SACCO (Age: 26) – hometown: Rome, Ga.; resides in Atlanta — After Sacco’s last relationship ended, she has been on the hunt to find Mr. Right. This super-confident girl believes in love at first sight and will do whatever it takes to get the guy she wants. Sacco is often unfairly judged by her appearance, but don’t be fooled by her beauty, she has the brains and brawn as well. She grew up bass fishing in the Everglades and definitely knows her way in the wild.
And now for the names of the Love in the Wild competitors kicked out on June 12th: Shauna and Tim
