The room was abuzz with excitement as Bachelor Pad’s Michael Stagliano and Ed Swiderski arrived.

As part of this year’s TIFF festivities, TDOT TV held an interview lounge and gifting suite at the Bata Shoe Museum on Bloor Street West in Toronto. A number of celebrities, including Looper’s Noah Segan, Emily Hampshire from My Awkward Sexual Adventure, Mr. Pip’s Eka Darville, The Master’s Katie Boland, Meghan Heffern, the cast of Bomb Girls, and a few Degrassi personalities came by during the second day of the event that was held over the weekend of Sept.7.

The reality show contestants, originally known from The Bachelorette were attracting the most attention. It may have had something to do with the primarily female-filled room.

As the celebrities entreated the lounge, they were interviewed by TDOT TV and then invited to try out numerous products, such as hair feathers by Doll Bar Inc., loungewear by Lazypants, manicures by Cheeky Monkey as well as a complimentary work-out shirt from the anticipated Equinox Fitness Club opening soon in Toronto.

Fuelled by complimentary Prairie Organic Vodka, Heineken Beer, and scrumptious cupcakes and macaroons by We Bake in Heels, guests mingled and enjoyed their break from the intensive days of the festival.
