'I said I didn’t want anyone cocky and arrogant, but for them to make a kind of statement, they almost need to come down and be a bit like that.'
The 22-year-old admitted, 'I found the coupling up interesting.'
'I wanted someone to walk through that I thought, 'Here we go, I’ve got a good shot at this,' but I didn’t find that.'

Shannon talks Aaron
She added, 'I was glad that I had Aaron out of everyone.'
'I was just gutted I didn’t find that first physical attraction with someone.'
Shannon admitted she, 'rated,' Aaron's decision to couple up with her even though she didn't step forward for him.
The reality star remembered, 'The minute he walked through that door, his eyes did not get off me. I could feel it.'
'We had a few chats and it was a bit like trying to get blood out of a stone with him. '
'He’s a really, really nice guy but he’s just a bit too laid back for me.'

'A lot of the girls were like, 'You’re not giving it time.''
'But he agreed with me later, which was a good thing.'
'I think when you meet someone there’s got to be a little bit of a physical… something to get you excited.'
Chloe's arrival
Shannon also admitted she wasn't worried about Chloe's bombshell arrival at all.
'We didn’t even really know the boys and they were away already [on a date with her].'
'I think a lot of the girls were worried and I wasn’t. I was honestly just like, 'Whatever.''

'She kept saying [Aaron] is really attractive. Which he is.'
'Really easy on the eye. I think all the guys are good looking. I just think they were all too pretty for me.”
When asked what she was expecting from last night's recoupling, she admitted she wasn't expecting to be dumped from the villa.

Shannon said, 'I knew they were going to throw something in there, they always do... I just can’t believe I forgot there were dumpings.'
'I think all of us forgot there were dumpings. None of us really spoke about it.'
She recalled, 'When I read it out Liberty was almost crying, she was like, 'What?'

'I did get a little bit emotional and then I eased up.'
Shannon said she really didn't want to go, and admitted she's feeling, 'a bit gutted.'
She added, 'Do you know what, out of all the girls, I think it is fair it’s me because I didn’t have any emotional attachments to the guys, but all the girls had tiny little things [going on].'
Predictions
The 22-year-old is rooting for Jake and Liberty, and Aaron and Sharon, who she believes, 'could have a little spark.'
'The rest of them, I think it’s going to change. I don’t think it’s going to be Faye and Brad as a couple until the end.'
'I think people are going to come in and their heads are going to be turned.'

If Shannon could offer future Islanders any advice, it would be to just, 'do you.'
'Do whatever you’re comfortable with, even if you feel an idiot doing it.'
'Don’t do anything you’re going to go to bed and think, 'I wish I’d never done that or said that.''
'Then you can really walk away from the experience and be like, it is what it is.'
Despite spending only a couple of days in the villa, Shannon said she's, 'grateful,' for the opportunity.
'I’m not coming away fuming from it, I’m coming away grateful.'
And if she could go back into the villa, she absolutely would, 'why not?'
