After going through public romances and breakups on their past shows, both Blake Horstmann and Giannina Gibelli were ready for a change in pace. Horstmann told The List, "One of the coolest things about this show, at least for me anyway, was [the fact that] it was a competition show. I told myself I'd never do a dating show again, so this was something completely different." Because of the more fun, competitive setting, he felt comfortable going back onto a TV show and trying something new. "I went in with a completely different strategy, so it was really exciting getting ready for this compared to Paradise or another show like that," he said.
Similar to Horstmann, after "Love Is Blind," Gibelli didn't want to put her heart on the line again. Instead, she was looking for a lighthearted experience with "All Star Shore." "It was so refreshing. Let me tell you, I was like, 'You know what? I'm not even going to think about it. It's not a dating show, so I don't have to involve my heart.' That was what really drew me to the show. I'm going to go have fun and party," she said.
