JaNa Craig, a familiar face from the popular reality television series *Love Island USA*, has recently spoken to PEOPLE about her ongoing partnership with Truly Hard Seltzer and the forthcoming casting call for a new miniseries titled *Truly Unscripted: Spring Break*. This exciting venture aims to showcase real-life friend groups and is set to make its debut on YouTube this spring.
Craig, who captured audiences during the sixth season of *Love Island USA* in 2024, identified her friendships with fellow contestants Leah Kateb and Serena Page as the most valuable outcome of her reality TV experience. The trio affectionately referred to themselves as the Powerpuff Girls, or PPG, a moniker that resonated well beyond the villa’s confines. The bond they forged amidst the show’s challenges gained widespread admiration among fans and viewers alike.
Reflecting on the significance of their friendship, Craig stated, “Being on Love Island allowed me to create a sisterhood. Yeah, they’re my friends, but I view them as sisters.” She expressed gratitude for the enduring support she has received from Leah and Serena since leaving the show. “It’s just a relationship bond that I never thought would be possible from a dating show, you know? So I’m forever grateful,” she added.
In her latest role, Craig is determined to assist another group of friends in achieving a slice of that same reality TV fame. “PPG has been the best thing that came from *Love Island* for me,” she commented. “I just wanted to help another friend group try to find that and experience that.” As the face of the casting call for the upcoming show, she hopes to channel the authentic spirit of friendship that she enjoyed during her time on *Love Island*.
During her discussion with PEOPLE, Craig outlined essential qualities that contribute to a successful friend group. She emphasised authenticity, supportiveness, and the importance of bonding. “Being genuine, honest, and open to your friends, wanting nothing but the best for one another, is crucial—never having envy or jealousy,” she elaborated, encouraging potential applicants to build strong relationships through constant engagement and quality time spent together.
Aspiring participants looking to join the *Truly Unscripted* project can enter the open casting call by posting on TikTok or Instagram, detailing why their friend group deserves to be featured in the show with the hashtag #TrulyUnscripted. Additionally, they are required to submit an application on TrulyRealityCasting.com. Finalists will then participate in video callbacks with the production team, with the eventual winners set to be filmed at an all-expenses-paid beach house in Florida from April 16 to 19.
Known affectionately as a “Truly girl since day one,” Craig expressed her excitement for the show’s concept, eagerly anticipating how it will highlight the dynamics of real friendship. When asked what advice she would offer to those selected for the show, she emphasised the importance of authenticity. “Be yourselves,” she advised. “The best reality TV moments are the ones that aren’t planned. If they’re just their authentic selves and bring the drama, they’re going to do great.”
As for the aftermath of starring in such a reality show, Craig noted that participants might feel inclined to rewatch the series to analyse their actions. “We tend to forget to really value and cherish the moments while they’re happening,” she explained. Nevertheless, she reassured friends and contestants alike that embracing their true selves would ensure they have “no regrets.”
Meanwhile, Craig has clarified her stance on future reality television endeavours for herself. “Reality TV, as of now, no thank you,” she stated, concluding that the only unscripted series she might consider is *Truly Unscripted Spring Break*. “I think I want to move on to bigger and better things, and that’s definitely not a reality dating show,” she affirmed.
As Craig embarks on this new journey to champion friendships in reality TV, her insights and experiences promise to resonate with both aspiring stars and audiences alike. As the *Truly Unscripted: Spring Break* miniseries approaches, viewers can look forward to engaging with real connections and the stories that unfold from genuine companionship.
