After two weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, a bunch of well-known characters took a trip to a private island. They were hoping for a break from this abnormal year — just like some other celebrities, who will go unnamed. Unfortunately, the island was kind of cursed, and they got stuck there.
Rescuing them is a two-step process. First, identify our stranded islanders based on the clues below. After writing their names in the blanks we've provided, you'll see some letters that line up with numbers. Those numbered letters will give you this week’s answer — which is something we should do to help the islanders out.
If those descriptions sound a bit opaque at first, it’s worth thinking about which words seem unusual or slightly out of place grammatically. Those are the most likely to be clues. Plus, you know you’re looking for people stuck on islands, which means you might be able to solve backwards a bit by first thinking of famous castaways and hermits.
