Solène Favreau is about to set sail for Fiji to compete on Love Island Games Season 2. Consider this writer excited, because I think that Solène is the perfect fit for this series.
Solène is no stranger to filming. In fact, she has starred on several series, all in the reality television genre. With her fiery temper, attractive looks, and zero f*cks given type of attitude, Solène makes for excellent television. But not on a series where her lazy behaviors might ruin everything for her fellow costars. More on that in a bit.
Do I think that Solène has what it takes to win Love Island Games Season 2? Not really, but then again, I am all for being wrong on this one. Our little Soso often presents in surprising ways. Keep reading and you will see what I mean.
Solène Favreau has joined the Love Island Games cast for Season 2
Earlier this week, Peacock released the cast list and cast trailer for Love Island Games Season 2. You can imagine my shock, and maybe yours too, when, lo and behold, the name Solène popped up. But in the trailer, Solène does not have any speaking moments like the bulk of her fellow costars do. So now I, and possibly others, are speculating that Solène might not arrive at the villa on Day 1 of filming.
If this is the case, then have no fear. Peacock has confirmed that Solène is attached to filming for Season 2 of this cutthroat (with a side of cunnilingus) series. So, if she does not sashay through that entrance and immediately take her first cigarette break as this series debuts live, then hang tight. Solène will likely appear in the coming days or weeks as a Bombshell instead.
Either way, Solène is the living example of a Bombshell. She will take your woman or man whenever the mood strikes. Around Solène, zero televised relationships are safe. And that is precisely why Solène is a perfect fit for a series such as this.
Solène first appeared on Love Island France Season 2
When stars appear on Love Island Games, it means that they have already served time on at least one other series within the Love Island franchise. As for her resume, Solène first appeared on Love Island France Season 2. During her initial stint on this series, Solène matched with Nicolò Ferrari. Then, once this series wrapped, Solène went on to star in several additional France-based reality television series, one of which incorporated her former Love Island partner, Nicolò.
For those who love late-night Google sessions, I’ve got your back. The names of these series are La Villa des Cœurs Brisés Season 9, Les Cinquante Season 4, and The Cerveau. The latter is the one that also features Nicolò. However, he and Solène had already parted ways long before this series ever aired.
Nevertheless, based on her extensive experiences in this franchise, one aspect seems clear: Solène understands how the beast that is reality television operates. And her background knowledge will be a huge bonus for her as she navigates the challenges that come her way on Love Island Games Season 2.
Solène then appeared on Below Deck Season 12

Following her stint on Love Island France, Solène (or production, hard to say) switched gears, opting to star on a work-based series called Below Deck for her next gig. But here’s the problem. Solène hates work. But, she does love taking “baby breaks” every few hours, or minutes, depending on the day.
As Below Deck Season 12 winds down (only one episode remains at this time), Solène has become a love her or leave her type of character. While avid fans of this series appreciate chaotic yachties, they also tune in to see how young people work, learn, and push themselves farther up their own personal career ladders in this industry. And, on all of these aspects, Solène sank. Solène was here for a good time only, which quickly got old, as her greenness and lack of care on many levels made this season taxing, at best, to watch.
That said, I admit, I had never heard of Solène until she appeared on Bravo as an unqualified stew. And while I did not love her in this series, I know that her antics will land and make me laugh out a few “Oui Ouis” in her honor as she prances around her new home on Love Island Games.
Why Solène is perfect for Love Island Games

As the world got to know Solène better on Below Deck, many felt that this stew might be a better fit for another series, preferably one that did not involve any work-based shifts. After watching every episode thus far, minus the finale for Season 12, I can count on one hand the number of times that Solène showed up and showed out at her job. But she did carry many positive attributes that one always hopes to see in the Love Island franchise.
For starters, Love Island and Love Island Games are all about that competitive partnering lifestyle. Likewise, when someone takes your partner, this is mostly just a game strategy (or a hornball approach). Therefore, getting mad and staying mad are not really on the cards for any of these contestants, unless, that is, they enjoy leaving luxurious villas early. Now, which yachtie on Below Deck switched partners daily while showing little to no concern about who their actions affected?
SOLÈNE. And for that, I think that this femme fatale is the perfect fit for Love Island Games Season 2.
Love Island Games and Below Deck are available to stream on Peacock.
