Post–Week One Interviews, Clips
ADDISON, 26, COSMETICS INFLUENCER, TORONTO, ON
ADDISON: Georgia is evil. During tennis, she literally shoved me to the ground. I don’t know what game she’s playing, but she’s clearly not here for the right reasons and I hope Roland sees that. [pause] Do I think she has a chance with him? [laughs] No, no way. She’s a weird cat lady in a Gen Z body. I literally cannotstand her.
GEORGIA, 27, MUSIC JOURNALIST, LOS ANGELES, CA
GEORGIA: Addison? Um, I don’t know, she’s fine? [pause] Oh, that. Yeah, it seemed like maybe she hit me on purpose, but maybe she just has bad aim.
ADDISON, 26, COSMETICS INFLUENCER, TORONTO, ON
ADDISON: She just pushes and pushes and pushes. One of these days, I’m going to snap. If you find me standing over her dead body, it’ll be her own fault. [pause] I don’t know, I’ve had maybe two conversations with her? One? How am I supposed to keep track? Aren’t you guys filming us twenty-four seven for a reason?
ROLAND MARCHETTI (LEAD), 29, PROFESSIONAL TENNIS PLAYER, ASHEVILLE, NC
ROLAND: Addison and Georgia both have really strong personalities. I could see myself falling for either of them along with so many of the other amazing girls here. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to have such strong connections so early, but here I am.
Human sexuality is like a fish. It needs to be properly lubricated to survive.
—The Two-Thousand-Year Orgasm: A Practical Guide, by #1New York Timesbestselling author Dr. Dora Ogelstein
Chapter Thirteen
Never, in all my frenzied watching ofLove Shack, have I heard anyone utter the words “G-spot,” “anal penetration,” or “mutual masturbation.”
Dr. Dora Ogelstein has said all three in her first five minutes on set.
Lainey looks highly uncomfortable, glancing repeatedly over her shoulder as though she doesn’t trust that the Chateau Céline’s walls are soundproof, no matter how highly rated it is on Hotels.com. She waves her hand, signaling to cut the cameras, and pulls Dr. Dora off to the side of the suite.
Like Lainey, Dr. Dora is ambiguously aged. Her hair is a deep chestnut brown, but gray peeks out at the roots. Her eyes are lined, but her cheeks are rosy and smooth.
“I hope Lainey doesn’t tell her to tone it down,” Olie whispers. “This is the most fun I’ve had yet.”
I adjust my position on our red velvet two-seater couch. “Don’t worry, I have a feeling Dr. Dora can’t be tamed.”
Nina tugs on my hair from the couch behind us and giggles. “I’ve read all her books. Have you guys?”
