When Michael Cimino first saw Love, Simon — Greg Berlanti’s sleeper hit from 2018 about a closeted high schooler (Nick Robinson) coming out to himself, then his classmates, by way of a grand, ferris wheel kiss — he was struck hard. He had recently graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, where he was born and grew up, in pursuit of big-screen goals; and he found himself, like many Hollywood dreamers before him, “so broke. So, we went to see it on a Tuesday, when it was a $5 movie night,” he tells MTV News. “I literally walked out of the theater, and I was with some of my best friends, and I was like, ‘I cannot wait to be in a project like that.’” It would be a year until the emerging actor, whose résumé up to that point had been dotted by periodic TV cameos and a...

The third night was “the charm” for Double Shot at Love, bringing Season 2’s very first hookup. On tonight’s episode, Brandon hit a “home run” (his explanation) with Marissa after he pivoted from saying he wanted something casual (while partying at Drai’s earlier in the day) to saying he would consider marrying her (when the group was at Chateau several hours later). “Wait, what?” is how Marissa reacted — just like us.
