Now that The Bachelor is over and Married At First Sight seems like a very distant nightmare, Australian audiences are yearning for their next reality TV fix – and Channel Nine is about to deliver.
Last week the Nine Network revealed that the incredibly messy-yet-amazing show Love Island is back yet again, and will be premiering on Monday, October 7.
Now dear friends, we have gone ahead and stalked EVERY cast member for Love Island 2019 and OH BOY is this season going to be gooooood!

Here are all the contestants on season two of Love Island Australia on Instagram
Vanessa, 24, businesswoman, Sydney
Love Island’s very own Helena Sauzier, Vanessa was born in Vanuatu and grew up there for the first five years of her life, meaning she can speak fluent french.
Vanessa is also one smart cookie, the beyond stunning businesswoman has a Bachelor of Finance and Economics and recently started a Masters in Computer Science.
Not too shabby.
Venessa describes herself as: “a ride or die chick and would have my man’s back 1000 per cent through anything.”

Cynthia, 23, model, Brisbane
Cynthia is one of many models in the Love Island house! Born in Liberia, Cynthia moved to Australia when she was just seven years old and intends to make it ‘big’ in the modelling world.
Cynthia admits that while she hasn’t had a relationship she is “a relationship girl”, and described her ideal man as “rugged, who has a strong sense of self and quiet confidence.”
Cynthia says she is a, “very sentimental partner. Words of affirmation mean a lot to me.”

Cartier, 19, lifeguard, Sydney
Cartier will certainly be a change of pace for everyone on the Island. Describing herself as a “born again Christian”, Cartier doesn’t drink (except for the occasion champagne – nice loophole) and was a national swimmer for four years.
Cartier says she just wants a family man who will respect her religious beliefs, with her message to the lads being: “It’s not often you will come across a lady with my kind of morals.”

Jessie, 23, waitress, Hobart
Jessie starts strong by saying: “I’m not dumb, but my mouth works faster than my brain.”
Girl, we feel that!
Jessie is both a waitress for prolific Tasmanian company Pub Banc Group, as well as working as a promotional model in both Sydney and Melbourne.
Jessie says she’s never had a serious relationship and has decided to look outside of Tasmania to find herself a man.

Cassie, 27, executive assistant, Sydney
Cassie is both a singer and a poetry writer, and was born and raised in London – but has lived in Sydney for six years.
This Brit only wanted to stay in Sydney for one year, but ended up loving it so much she got permanent residency (hey, who can blame her!).
Cassie has firmly stated, “I know who I am and what I want,” saying she wants an Aussie man that will “keep her on her toes.”

Gerard, 23, personal trainer, Perth
Gerard insists a good connection for him “isn’t just about looks. I’m an emotional guy looking to connect with people on a meaningful level.”
Gerard runs his own business in Perth called Body Magic, where he specialises in working with people with disabilities.
As for what Gerard is looking for? One word – love.
“There is nothing I would call a certain deal-breaker. Every relationship is a totally different situation and would never judge someone before I know them.”

Adam, 27, plasterer, Gold Coast
Adam doesn’t exactly sell himself well…
Admitting that he is a “mummies boy”, he also admits that he’s never had a girlfriend for longer than six months, and he absolutely DOES NOT want to date someone from the Gold Coast.
Turns out this plasterer/model also auditioned for Love Island in America but missed out.

Matt, 24, wrestler/model, Melbourne
Matt admits that “the best and worst thing about me is that I can sometimes be too honest.”
Matt is both an international model that has walked the catwalks of London and Milan and a professional wrestler, using the stage name ‘Charlie Matthews’.
In a fun twist of fate, Matt used to bunk with Love Island season one castmate Justin Lacko when they were both modelling in Milan.
Oh and p.s. Matt has crippling phobias of rats and needles.

Sam, 28, international DJ, Melbourne
International DJ Sam confesses: “I’m very picky, I struggle to find someone who’s the full girlfriend material.”
Just in case you were wondering, Sam wasn’t lying about that whole ‘massive DJ’ thing, the dude has played at after-parties for Justin Bieber, Drake and Martin Garrix.
So yeah…kind of a big deal.
Even though Sam has had three relationships, he hasn’t been in a committed relationship for seven years.

Maurice, 27, Media Executive, Sydney
Maurice is a proud Egyptian man, who runs his own media company called Media Co.
Maurice has really showed off his humble side, stating: “I am another breed of person, I’m the whole package.”
Always good to be confident, we say!
When it comes to his ideal woman, Maurice (naturally) has very high expectations: “A nice tan, sexy voluptuous girl with brown eyes and blemishless skin.”
Well, we can already sense drama with this one.

Eoghan, 24, real estate agent, Gold Coast
Eoghan – pronounced ‘Owen’ – is an Irish born real estate agent from the Gold Coast who has been compared to Tarzan, Aquaman, Thor and Jon Snow (we see it?).
Eoghan WAS in a relationship with his high school sweetheart – whom he met at 14 – but they broke up 18 months ago.
Devo.
But never fear because Eoghan is ready to move on, ideally with a “brunette who is fun, not rude, polite and extremely lady like.
“I want to put her on a pedestal like she is the only girl in the world.”
Follow Eoghan @eoghannmurphy
Love Island season two premieres on October 7 at 8.45pm on Nine.
