NATALIE CRUZ ON PERFECT MATCH & TEMPTATION ISLAND | In The Slot S3 Ep. 16

In this episode, we’re joined by star of Netflix reality shows ‘Temptation Island’ & ‘Perfect Match’ Natalie Cruz. With Natalie we discuss her time on Temptation Island as a temptress, her relationship with Yamen Sanders on Perfect Match, and her post show relationship and fallout with Chris Dahan and Kayla Richart. Later in the episode, we get stumped while answering if Natalie thinks about social media perception during filming, if Natalie’s thoughts changed after watching Perfect Match back and the biggest thing viewers got wrong.
