Of course even if Brook wanted to answer the question, such an inquiry was tabled as everyone, including Léon started gossiping with everyone around the bar regarding the latest twists.<br/><br/>A few minutes later as the dust settled, a producer sent Brook a text message that summoned her to the interview room for her first 1 on 1 confessional with the producers.<br/><br/>"Dang it, we were just starting to get to know each other and our cast members" Léon said to Brook before the two reluctantly let go of each other's hands. "You better come back. I'm not sure what I would do without my sexy little, royal TikTok dancing partner."<br/><br/>Because of the last few cast members who were suddenly taken away by a producer only to never return, a second text message was sent to Léon to reaffirm that Brook would be returning.<br/><br/>Apparently everyone would be summoned 1 at a time over the next few hours as they were needing to capture internal dialog as they were already editing the coupling ceremony for the show that would air that night.<br/><br/>Perhaps this was intention by the producers to split up couples that were prioritizing their own couple over getting to know everyone else, including the new arrivals. And with that, Léon decided to walk right up to the bar.  After requesting a double gin & tonic with lime, the redhead behind the bar delivered seconds later.  Léon thanked Cassie before drinking over half his tall glass.  Almost instantly feeling a nice buzz, a playful smirk grew on his face as he looked over the crowd to see who wasn't in the middle of a conversation.
