What’s Bucks Co.’s Reality Star Up To? ‘Love Island’ Highlights

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Shannon St. Clair, a Bucks local and a controller at a Doylestown construction company, is having quite the summer.

St. Clair is a contestant on Love Island U.S., a popular reality show where single "Islanders" date, play, and couple up in Hilo, Hawaii. The goal is to find love — and to collect the winning couple’s $100,000 prize at the end.

So far, the main man in St. Clair’s island life has been Josh Goldstein, a baseball player from Massachusetts who says he’s broken his fair share of hearts but feels ready to settle down. She stepped forward to express interest in Goldstein’s “build” and “tattoos” in the first episode, and they’ve been paired up since he chose to couple with her.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing: when Goldstein kissed new arrival Aimee Flores, 26, St. Clair was not pleased.

“Today, you slapped me across the face and embarrassed me,” she said. “What’s wrong with you? You don’t have any respect for me at all. It’s just such a turn off.”

Then when another new arrival came on the scene, St. Clair was vocal about her attraction to 25-year-old Isaiah Harmison. She also dominated during a “Kissing Booth” game, where blindfolded contestants would rate the other contestants on their lip-locking abilities.

But St. Clair’s interest in Goldstein remained, and when he was sent on a date with someone else during Thursday night’s episode she was unfazed — and appreciated his heartfelt goodbye.

“Every time he is tested and tempted, and I see how he reacts to temptation, it really just proves to me that we’re going to keep pursuing our relationship and our couple,” she said in an interview.

Goldstein seems to share her feelings.

“Me and Shannon are way more compatible,” he told friends after the date.
