Episode 1: Intro & Love Island with Katelyn Pilley I Came to Win

Welcome to the first episode of I Came to Win, the podcast where one reality TV superfan chats with host Lucy Levin each episode to audition for their favorite unscripted TV show. Each episode we'll focus on one show to talk about the contestant's potential edit, run through scenarios, play fun games, and discuss what they're REALLY in it for — money, fame, love, or bragging rights. 

This premiere episode welcomes Katelyn "KP" Pilley (she/they), a Love Island superfan! KP is a queer writer, artist, and swiftie based in Boston. With a fascination for all things deranged, they have a penchant for furbies, celebrity internet culture, and whatever heterosexual couples are up to on national television. You can find them @kpcreates.online on Instagram or @fatcherhorowitz on Twitter. Today, KP tells us how she'll take on the role of "sexy single," reveal her Love Island dream couple-mate and play Lucy's copywriting game, "I GOT A TEXT!".
