American bombshells, Casa Amor and a delayed start after South African wildfires
The series endured a delayed start because of South African wildfires, and producers introduced six American bombshells halfway through the run in their own Casa Amor villa.

Superfan Georgia Blue, 30, said adding the American contestants helped bring new energy to the format, underscoring the producers' stated aim to capitalise on renewed interest in the franchise.
