Francesca Stein

Francesca's All-Stars 3 promo.

**Francesca Stein** is currently a contestant on Love Desert All-Stars 3. She originally competed on Season 8 of Love Desert, where she reached the finale in 3rd place overall, alongside romantic interest Mama Mia.

Francesca is known for creeping and being green. She impressed the judges when she transformed from a forgettable casa amor bombshell to a wildcard finalist in just a few episodes.

## Background

Francesca Stein was created by Holly, specifically to compete in the mid-season villa split of Season 8. She arrived on episode 5 alongside five other hopeful bombshells.

Francesca Stein's name is a reference to Frankenstein's monster, but she is in fact a zombie, not a scientific experiment. Her and fellow casa bombshell Thea went through a zombie apocalypse together, and Francesca's death/reanimation did not break their friendship.

### Competing on Season 8

#### Arriving: Casa Amor

On episode 5, Francesca went on a date with Thea Final-Girl and Hanz Offma Puss. Both dates went somewhat successfully, though it was clear that Hanz wouldn't choose her over his current partner. Quite predictably, Thea and Francesca ended up together at the episode 6 recoupling, and they were voted mid - 5th of 9 couples.

The judges felt that Thea and Francesca didn't have much appeal as a standalone couple. On episode 7, Euan used his one date choice to ship Francesca with Baba (paired two contestants he disliked), and the date only built their friendship. The judges noticed Francesca and Mama Mia flirting, which was completely random and unexpected. Francesca then had some random action with Victoria twice consecutively. At the recoupling, Mama and Francesca chose each other as their number one romance, getting together and confusing everybody. They were voted a contentious 4th place of the 8 couples remaining, while Francesca's sacrifice, Thea, was eliminated for not being in a romantic couple anymore.

#### Late-Season: Framama Begins

On episode 8, Francesca and Mama had an excellent first date together. On a season where everybody was cheating on everybody, Framama started to establish themselves as one of the stronger romances. They were voted joint 3rd of the 5 couples in a non-elimination vote.

On episode 9, the semi-final, Francesca caught Mama flirting with Victoria. This tanked their romance into the negative numbers. On their final date of the season, they managed to bring it back to a positive, but barely. In the final recoupling of the season, they remained together by a thread, and the judges decided to give them the vote win because they were feeling goofy. This established Framama as the first couple to reach the Season 8 finale.

At the finale, not one judge voted Francesca and Mama as their first choice to win, resulting in a respectable third place.

### Post-Season 8

In preparation for All-Stars 3, Francesca has undergone a significant hair colour change, going from red to blue. Her style was critiqued occasionally on Season 8, mostly due to her clashing colour palette at the time. Her hair on makeup from the Season 8 semi-final and finale, however, were appreciated for being much smoother than her initial style.

Going into All-Stars 3, Francesca doesn't have many stakes with her fellow competitors. Just like cast-mate Revyrse, it's effectively a fresh start for Francesca.
