Instead, she was looking for a lighthearted experience with “All Star Shore.”
“It was so refreshing.

Let me tell you, I was like, ‘You know what?
I’m not even going to think about it.
It’s not a dating show, so I don’t have to involve my heart.’

That was what really drew me to the show.

Like Gibelli, Horstmann was surprised by his experience in the series.
He expected not to involve his heart at all but met “somebody pretty special.”
It was something special to me, and it worked really well.
It wasn’t what I expected necessarily, but I really enjoyed it," he said.
