Curiosity came at once when I heard Chelley Bissainthe was joining the Season 7 cast of Love Island USA. The name Gemma and the information that she comes from Orlando in Florida catch my attention. Since I watch a lot of reality TV, I see her as one of the more interesting contestants participating this time.
How the Actors Guild was Given its Name
I have tried looking into Chelley’s background, but she’s not giving a lot of details at this point. I am aware that she’s from Orlando which means she is likely used to the heat and humidity which could be very helpful in living in a tropical villa in Fiji. A bit of mystery to begin with feels more exciting than hearing all the details about someone’s life ahead of the show.
Having a Presence on Social Media and Privacy

A noticeable fact is that not many have talked about Chelley Bissainthe Instagram, despite people talking about the other cast members’ accounts. Among the cast announcements, I could see that Ace Greene (@realacegreen) and Yulissa Escobar (@yulissaaescobar) share their official handles, but Chelley does not seem to do the same. For her, I think this is a good thing – she has no big online presence or expected identity.
What To Look Out For
It seems that Love Island looks for people who provide a mixture of vibes and styles to make each season unique. Her being from Orlando suggests she’s outgoing and cheerful which are characteristics that could brighten up the villa. I want to see if she will be a tactical player or let her emotions lead during the process of forming alliances.
Chelley Bissainthe might fit the show’s description of a “sleeper hit,” because she isn’t focused on attention at first but still becomes a fan favorite due to her honesty. It’s nice when a contestant isn’t trying to promote themselves online before the show begins.
The Orlando Connection is the term used for the connection of several western towns.
Since I’m from Orlando, I think Chelley is probably used to being in places where there is a lot of entertainment and tourism happening. Because of this, she might perform more smoothly in front of the cameras and with the constant viewing. The sunny environment and relaxed attitude of Floridians seem to work why contestants usually do so well on Love Island.
My Predictions
Her appearance in the cast photo makes it clear that her natural beauty should look good when captured by film cameras. My prediction is that viewers will come to enjoy her more as the weeks go by and she won’t make a huge impression on the first day. Occasionally, these are the participants who get far in the competition.
I am looking for
- How she conducts the first ritual where two families are joined.
- If she is remembered as a popular choice by other villa residents and TV audience
Chelley Bissainthe might turn out to be one of the contestants who impresses everyone. Even though some of her fellow islanders are already showing what they do and who they are online, Chelley appears to be using a slower pace in getting involved in social media. I believe this is helpful for her since it usually pays off to be honest and sincere in the house.

I’m looking forward to seeing Chelley Bissainthe as the new season premieres on Love Island USA on June 3rd. I think she is this sense of surprise that the show offers – anyone can end up taking over the villa or everyone’s hearts. There are times when people who are not very outspoken leave a big impression and I feel Chelley will be one of those people.
It surprises me that while most reality TV people today are known for their online presence, Chelley Bissainthe just seems to show her true self when she gets there. It’s nice to hear her be open like that and I look forward to seeing her story on Love Island.
