Connor Trott spent his life looking for dates on Instagram, but now he hopes to find a match in real life on Love Island USA season 2. There are a total of 11 day-one islanders on this season of Love Island USA: six boys and five girls. They are all in their twenties, ranging from 22 to 28 years old. On average, the day-one girls are slightly older than these day-one boys. As it is always the case on the show, the fact that there is an additional person indicates that the opposite sex will be in control in the given week. If so, the girls will ultimately decide which boy will be dumped from the island during the first week.
This year, Love Island USA needs to regain confidence from the fans who didn't particularly love the first American season. The show also needs to be compelling enough to capitalize on the huge ratings coming from the current Big Brother: All-Stars season and attract viewers who are still waiting for the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. All in all, this is a tough mission for a show being filmed during a global health pandemic... but CBS seems to have figured out how to properly quarantine reality stars and ensure their safety while filming a new season. And just like that, Love Island USA season 2 is upon us.
Connor Trott is one of the six day-one boys who were cast on Love Island USA. According to Connor's official interview with CBS, he is a 23-year-old auditor who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the moment, he is a recent college graduate who dreams of becoming a certified public accountant (CPA). Connor had over 25,000 followers on Instagram prior to even appearing on the show, indicating that he already had notoriety in the social media world. In his bio, Connor details that he has competed in an NPC Men's Physique competition. On that note, he has a YouTube channel and website that are full of exercise routines and nutritional tips. For his career in finance, Connor maintains a separate profile on Instagram called @trottfinance. Finally, he also promotes his podcast, which is called Law of Attraction.
Connor Trott might be a multimedia star on the rise, but he is choosing to go offline and compete to find a soulmate on Love Island USA. This self-described hopeless romantic wants to find a girl "with a brain to match her beauty." He also appreciates honesty, authenticity, and deep conversations about the meaning of life. Overall, Connor is just tired of looking for dates on Instagram and hopes that this experience can work in favor of his love life.
The day-one islanders of Love Island USA season 2 are finally here. However, the fans are well aware that anything can happen on this show, and no match will be completely safe from the distractions and temptations of living in this villa.
Love Island USA airs nightly at 9pm EST on CBS.
