Engie from OD Panamá: a 24-year-old model from Amqui, a passport full of stamps, a past with Billy and a very clear idea of what she wants.
She walked into the guys’ house on September 29 and, within a week, became the name everyone in Quebec was typing into Google. Engie is not just one of OD Panamá’s three new girls. She is the one who already knew Billy, the one the guys called gorgeous without a single dissenting vote, and the one who might quietly rewrite the season’s most talked-about triangle. Here is everything we know about her.
- Age: 24
- Hometown: Amqui, in the Matapédia Valley
- Job: model
- Arrived: September 29, 2026, in the guys’ house
- Instagram: @engie.od_officiel
- Looking for: an ally and a best friend first
From Amqui to the camera
Engie comes from Amqui, a small town in the Matapédia Valley, a long way from Montreal’s castings. Today she works as a model, and it shows: she knows her angles, she knows how to hold a room, and she arrived in Panamá with the calm of someone used to being looked at.
But Noovo’s official portrait paints a more layered picture. Behind the confidence, she is described as an athletic, natural charmer and a true social butterfly, with a sparkling personality hiding a real sensitivity. Discreet at first glance, magnetic once she opens up. Exactly the profile that tends to grow on viewers week after week.
A passport that is never in the drawer
If her Instagram is any indication, Engie rarely stays put. Noovo Moi rounded up her most dreamlike travel photos, and the map is impressive for 24.
| Destination | The vibe |
|---|---|
| Curaçao | Turquoise water, Caribbean light |
| Tulum, Mexico | Boho beach, the classic jet-set stop |
| Hawaii | Volcanic landscapes and Pacific sunsets |
| Switzerland | Mountains straight out of a postcard |
| Paris | The city every model eventually photographs |
Panamá, in other words, is just one more stamp. The difference is that this time, the whole province is watching.
Billy: the story nobody saw coming
This is the part that made Engie a headline before she even said hello. She and Billy had already met before OD and, according to Billy, already kissed. Before her arrival, Billy described her to the guys as having “une face à 1 million,” as reported by Noovo Moi. No pressure.
On Tuesday, the two finally had their first real one-on-one. Engie learned that things had been heated between Enzo and Emma, and she did not dodge: Billy is her crush. Except Billy also has eyes for Mathilde. And Emma, who still hasn’t chosen between Billy and Enzo, has started noticing that the two versions of their past do not quite match. Billy talks about a kiss. Engie’s version sounds more like a few crossed paths.
What Engie is really looking for
Engie did not come to Panamá to collect admirers. She arrives after a long relationship and says she wants to rediscover herself. What she is looking for is simple and rather rare on reality TV: a partner who will be her ally, and her best friend before anything else.
That detail matters. In a season built on triangles and strategic tops, a candidate who prioritizes friendship and trust could either cut through the noise, or find herself caught in someone else’s game. With Billy torn between three women, the next few days will tell us which one.
Her ties inside the houses
| Contestant | Where things stand |
|---|---|
| Billy | Her crush and her past. He finds her “very interesting,” but so is Mathilde. |
| Emma | The rival on paper. Emma questions how real the Billy and Engie story is. |
| Mathilde | The other new girl who caught Billy’s eye. |
| Enzo | Billy’s rival, and now his roommate. A front-row seat to everything. |
| The guys | Unanimous at the debrief: Engie is gorgeous. |
Can she go far?
Our read: yes, if she plays it the way she says she wants to. Engie has what most newcomers lack, an existing connection and a storyline handed to her on day one. The risk is the same thing. If the Billy story wobbles, she becomes a supporting character in Emma’s triangle instead of the lead of her own. The good news for her: the guys’ house already likes her, and in OD, that buys time.
