"Okay, I literally just started watching this show, like, three days ago. I like Conrad because, I don't know, I just feel like he's like, deeper and stuff, and I'm only on season two, episode three, but I heard that somebody has cheated. And, you know, once you cheat, you're out. So, it's Team Conrad."
The coming-of-age TV series features a love triangle between Belly Conklin and the Fisher brothers, Jeremiah and Conrad. The theme of the show revolves around the challenges of growing up, the significance of familial relationships, and friendships, among other topics.
Coco Gauff's compatriots Madison Keys and Ben Shelton also said they were Team Conrad. The likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Jasmine Paolini were left confused by the question, having not watched the series before.
