At long last, Netflix\u2019s second installment of Temptation Island<\/a> has arrived, and with it, a whoooole lot of drama. This time around, four new couples were put through the wringer, including 29-year-old marketing agency owner Scarlett Bentley and 27-year-old real estate entrepreneur Cole Mueller, whose two-year relationship had reached a breaking point. The result of the experiment? Scarlett eventually decided to (spoiler alert!) leave the island alone, but not without a few new connections (and maybe a couple of regrets).<\/p>\n

During an exclusive interview with Cosmo ahead of the season 2 premiere, Scarlett explained how \u201ctrust issues\u201d may have brought her and Cole to Temptation Island, but that lack of trust had nothing to do with infidelity. \u201cOnce we were there, I realized I wasn\u2019t actually worried about Cole cheating,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it would\u2019ve been pretty crazy for either of us to actually do something like that\u2026so I was just hoping that both of us would really look more deeply into our relationship and grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

If anything, Scarlett was disappointed that Cole didn\u2019t try harder to form bonds with the single ladies in his villa or \u201cget outside opinions\u201d on his relationship with Scarlett. \u201cI know that he was probably scared of me seeing anything that would upset me,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt was a hard situation to navigate, and I think everyone just did their best, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Scarlett, meanwhile, used her own time on the island to develop a strong bond with Bradley Bobbit\u2014and if you\u2019re wondering: No, their relationship was never anything more than a friendship. \u201cThat first pick for that date was totally random,\u201d Scarlett said. \u201cI just chose Bradley on a whim, and had no idea that we would become such great friends. And after that first date, we had really great conversations. I was the oldest girl. He was the oldest guy. I think he was just really mature, and he spoke my language.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Scarlett, Bradley was able to help her \u201cnavigate my relationship, which was super helpful, considering I was just like wanting to grow and get answers.\u201d She added, \u201cIt always just felt like a deep friendship to me\u2026and having a solid friend to lean on was huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does she have any regrets from the experience? When it came time to leave her video message for Cole, Scarlett acknowledged that she \u201ccould have been a little softer.\u201d As she explained it, \u201cObviously I\u2019m only seeing very small clips of Cole\u2019s experience, so in that moment, it felt right. I wanted him to dive into the experience\u2026but from what I had seen, it seemed like he wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI think I was just so over the old relationship that we were in, and I just wanted growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans won\u2019t know where Scarlett and Cole stand now (or if Scarlett and Bradley\u2019s friendship ever did turn romantic\u2026) until the reunion, but I\u2019m happy to see that Scarlett came out the other side with few regrets!<\/p>\n
