‘Floribama Shore’ Star Jeremiah Says He Would Have Gone for Nilsa If Gus Hadn’t Swooped In (EXCLUSIVE)
Missed his chance. Floribama Shore star Jeremiah Buoni previously opened up exclusively to Life & Style about MTV’s Jersey Shore spin-off — in which fans saw the hunky gym enthusiast totally shut down co-star Nilsa Prowant’s flirtatious advances in the premiere episode. But, according to Jeremiah, he only ignored the brunette beauty because his buddy Gus Smyrnios already had a thing for her.
“If that wasn't the case, I probably would have gone after her. But even after meeting Gus, I knew that we were similar people and I knew that if I did something, I would have lost his respect immediately,” the Clermont, FL, native explained. “I just wasn't willing to actually go for it that way.”
Not long after Gus took Nilsa on a date — which, TBH, was awkward AF — Jeremiah asked the house’s resident wild child, Kortni Gilson, out to dinner. While the pair had a great time, Jeremiah decided that he and Kort were better off as friends by the end of their meal.
“It was just the fact that I was trying to get to know the people in the house, and I felt like Kortni, with all the drama that was happening in the house, I wanted to actually learn about who she was outside of the house,” he told Life & Style. “Because I feel like when cameras are around and the party is around, she's very excited, so I wanted to get her away from all the drama in the house.”
Season 2 of Floribama Shore premieres on July 9 at 10 p.m. EST.
