What is up, Daddy Gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy.
Kenzie, welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Thank you, Alex.
I am so excited to meet you.
You literally look like you just came from Fiji.
You're in your little booty shorts.
You're in your little tank.
Yeah.
Your tan.
Yeah.
How are you feeling?
I feel amazing.
It feels surreal.
I'm definitely fan-grilling over you so hard right now.
Listen to your podcast all the fucking time.
You were the first podcast I started listening to.
you are the reason I know how to suck dick.
No joke.
No joke.
And I get compliments all the time.
And it's because of you.
It's literally because of you.
I just listen to everything you said.
And I'm like, okay, I'm putting this to work.
I'm actually dying because Kenzie walks in here.
And she's like, oh, my God, wait.
And you're pregnant.
I didn't find that out until I just left the villain.
I'm like, babe, from the gluck, luck to pregnancy, we've got range.
I know.
Shit has changed.
I know.
Thank you for saying that.
I'm obviously a huge fan of yours watching you.
this season has been such an experience. I was thinking about it. Obviously, you just graduated
nursing school. And then you literally are on the biggest television show essentially in the world.
Yeah. How do you feel about all the attention? Um, it's definitely wild. I've, I was not expecting
any of this. Like, I'm just feel like I'm a normal girl from Kennesaw, Georgia. I just have a,
I drive like 2013 Lexus. Like, I call her beat up Betsy. I lock the front doors myself. Like,
I can't even listen to music on there. I listen on my phone.
Like, my radio don't work.
Like, I'm just, like, this nursing and nannying, you know?
It's just, like, I, this is surreal, and I never, like, expected to be here.
I just manifested all of it.
Even right when I got off, I was like, call her daddy, please.
Oh, my God.
That's kind of crazy.
I didn't know that you were a fan.
So then here that you're...
Oh, I've always been a fan.
Queen.
Okay, we got to get you a new car.
I know.
What kind of car do you want?
I want a baby blue, like, car.
I used to drive a baby blue convertible, but I wrecked it, like, really bad.
Okay. All right. We'll try to get you a new car.
Bronco, maybe blue Bronco.
Surf, surfboard at the top.
Please. Dylan's taking me for surf lessons.
Kenzie.
Okay, okay, okay. I'm thinking about it also.
There's a lot we have to discuss today because you had a very eventful summer, obviously.
You won a karaoke challenge.
You found yourself in multiple love triangles.
You redefined what a handshake means.
You did more split.
that I think anyone has ever done on this earth.
And you became truly one of the most debated islanders of this season.
That's wild.
When you got your phone back, what conversation surprised you the most?
Probably just kind of just being exactly like sincere and stuff.
That kind of threw me for a loop.
And then also just the hate comments on Dylan,
I was not expecting that because he's been nothing but amazing.
and I was like, I was just, my jaw was on the floor for him and it hurt my heart so bad to see him
upset. Well, I want to get into all that because I feel like, yes, a lot of people either were
like you were so messy or they thought you were misunderstood or they were like, this is the
only person that's actually doing the experience completely right. Yeah. I want to go back a little bit
though. Before we get into the details of Love Island, how did you even end up on this show? Like,
what made you want to apply? So I actually had never watched the show. I've watched the, I've watched the
UK Love Island like once. Love them, huge fan. But my best friend in nursing school, Hannah,
she like told me, hey, you should apply for Love Island. And I was like, okay. And I'd been studying
all day. And I just like did a 90 questionnaire talking. I was eating dinosaur nuggets in my
coffee. It was like 4 p.m. right after my hot girl walk. And then I'm like, I did that. And then after that,
I failed nursing, like failed my last test in nursing school.
You have to get a 75 and above.
I got a 74.9, 6, so it was 0.04 off.
And it was the 2030 thing.
Yeah.
It was 100% the 2030 thing.
That's what fucked me fucking over, bro.
Like, ah, what the fuck?
But I ended up having a break.
I went to, I got my hair done and like all different.
And yeah, I took a breath for my,
myself and then got back in the game and finished on December. No, when did I graduate? It was like
literally right before January 3 March, like March 12th. And then I was sent on the 13th, like the day
after. So your friend was the one that was like maybe you should do this. Yes. And and is this like
typical Kenzie fashion where any of your friends surprised you were do like Love Island or were
they like, oh, that's so classic her? No, it's actually crazy because they, my dance friend like right
before I went on, she's on the Hawks dance team. And she messaged me and was like, I think you would be
amazing on Love Island. And I'm like literally about to go on. I'm like, ha ha. You'll see me on your TV
soon, babe. I'm like, okay, girl, I love you. Wow. Yeah. And did you get the bangs for Love Island?
Or you just got it because you were changing up your look. I just got it because I was changing up my
look. And when you're in clinicals, you have to have your hair all the way pulled back. So I was never allowed to
have like hair pieces. So I did that. And then I was like, what else am I going to do with the break? And I'm like,
I've always wanted tits.
So I'm like, I'm going to buy boobs.
And that's what I did with my time off.
So when I came back to nursing school, they were like, they were like, who is this?
Oh my God.
You got tits in between nursing school.
And it was not for the show or anything.
Like it was just because, you know, like growing up, you're like, what do you want?
You want to be, you want boobs as a woman.
Like, I wanted to feel like a woman.
Okay.
I got like 400 C.C.
Oh, you showed up and you said, give me, give me tit.
I'm showing up, showing out.
Give me those babies.
So when you get to Love Island, you're like, give me the bikini.
I deserve to show this off.
Yeah.
And the dresses.
I'm like, any cutout shit, give it to me.
Wait, Kenzie, did you pay for them or did you do your dad?
I paid for him.
Yeah, my nanny money.
Shout out to them a nanny mom.
I'll fucking love her.
Queen.
Yeah.
Okay.
A lot of debate online and we're going to settle it here right here right now.
What was your type before you went on this show?
I like dark hair. Normally, I like dark eyes, taller than me, a sporty guy. I like a countryman. I do. But, you know, the combo got to be there and all that. And were you a relationship girl before Love Island?
I was, but I got my heart broken like three, one big time. And then for two years, I was single and I did not talk or text in anyone, like no one.
Okay, well, yeah, I remember you were like, I haven't had sex in a year and a half before you entered
the villa. Was this by choice? Like, how did you feel about being celibate? Um, it was definitely
by choice because for, it was four for a while and it was only like my boyfriends, like the guys
that I had very seriously talked to. And then for a year, I was like, I, for, it was three guys,
three more guys. And I, it made me just feel like, I needed that connection. I need that connection
with someone in order to do that.
You had slept with only four men.
Four men.
In your life.
Yes.
And then in a year, I slept with three.
Like, and it just made me feel kind of icky.
I was just like, I like to be a relationship girl.
So I stopped and because I wasn't talking to anyone.
I wasn't going to do it.
And then I'm like, well, I'm going on Love Island.
Like, I'll just hopefully find my man there.
I feel like so many women are going to be watching this.
Like, actually, like, we, I fuck with you because you're just so honest.
Like most people I think most women are like scared to even be like what's your body count?
How many people have you slept with?
Because there's so many like weird negative connotations.
And you're like, oh, so four than three that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I love that.
Yeah.
Let's first start with the roster thing.
Yes.
You came in, you said, I'm not a roster girl.
I can only talk to one guy.
Then you end up being one of the only people that had a roster obviously.
Now in hindsight, what are some things that you wish that you had known about managing
a roster, Kensington?
Yeah, I have no idea how to manage a roster at all. I think it's pretty obvious and clear. But everyone's surprised that I've never had a roster. It's just like I was going on the show to find my best connection. And that's what I was there for. But do you think now that you've a better idea of how to manage a roster? You're like, I'm never doing that again. I don't think I ever want to do that again. But like, I don't know. It was fun. It was like the best experience ever. But yeah, like even on Snapchat, like I've never done that. I never could text or talk to any more than one guy.
And I never understood how other people could do that.
It's a full-time job.
It is definitely a full-time job.
And how much is a girl allowed to talk about with another guy?
I'm like, can I not talk about my family?
I know.
We're going to get into that because it was interesting seeing, like, you got backlash for certain things.
And that's why I was wondering, like, what was your understanding of Love Island etiquette
when you first got in there of, like, how you're allowed to move with multiple?
connections? Honestly, I didn't know any like love island etiquette. I'm just more just like I'm just
going to be me, have a connection, see if we connect really good. I did want to be up front honest every
single time. And I tried. The only thing I didn't say was that one kiss with Corbin. And I do regret
that because I feel like that really led Caleb on in a sense. Also, I don't know if you've seen
this online, but so many people are like the way that Kenzie would have thrived on Love Island
UK this season, because everyone on this season of Love Island UK is moving like a Kenzie.
Really?
Oh, you would have been, you would fit right in, Kenzie.
Do you think the like closed off somewhat, you know, like playing it safe mindset hindered
any of your other castmates experiences?
Because obviously you moved a lot different than a lot of other people.
Yeah, I moved a lot different than them.
but also I feel like the people that came in,
they were able to connect with them immediately.
It just so happened to be that my person came in later and at CASA.
But I don't fault them for it.
If you like someone, you like someone.
You want to stay with them.
I just, my person just didn't come into later.
Okay, let's get into it.
Yeah.
We're going to go through the whole season.
Episode one, you chose Zach's door.
You guys end up coupling up and almost immediately into coupling up.
He lets you know,
that he has literally never been with a blonde before.
He goes with people with darker features.
You're kind of not his type.
Yeah.
And we saw you obviously get in your head about this.
Like,
how did that comment so early on affect your confidence?
I don't know if it, like, affected my confidence.
But I would say it hurt because I was like, damn,
Charlie's into blondes the fuck.
Like I thought like Zach would too.
But I guess that's just not how it goes.
I'm not okay.
Yeah, I was like just telling myself, you know, I love who I am.
I'm in love with myself and whatever guy is here.
Like, he's going to love that too.
But it just wasn't going to be him and that's okay.
And prior to the villa, just like in normal life, how would you describe your confidence and
your self-esteem?
I do EFT tapping.
Like, I'm always like, I'm a goddess.
I love myself.
Like, I pray and like pray that God gives me, like, all that love and support.
And I just, that's how I feel about myself now.
And it hasn't always been like that.
I went through really hard times when.
I was broken up with and I was so down on myself. But you can pick yourself back up like with all the
positive energy. Like it's just all it's all you. And I think we saw that truly like your confidence as
much as you kept getting kind of like, oh, this isn't working or this isn't working. You kept it moving
in a way that was really refreshing to see that you didn't get too down on yourself. One of the main things
the internet grabbed onto the first episode was how shocked you were that you were not anyone's type at
first. Did this have you immediately comparing yourself to the other women that you were in the
villa with? Yeah. I feel like naturally it does make you compare yourself. It made me feel like not
as beautiful, you know, to a point. It did suck because I was thinking that I was going to have
like a Aaron and Kailer situation where I just met my person and seeing that happen right in
front of me and then, you know, like Zach bringing Kada back right away. And then they're in the
bed next to me and they're like making out and stuff. And then I only just laid on his shoulder.
Like he didn't even want to cut all around anything. I'm like, yeah, it definitely made me feel a certain
type of way. Eventually, though, you had a slow start, but eventually someone came in who caught your
eye during the office challenge. A new bombshell, Corbyn, entered the villa. Yeah. What was your first
impression of Corbyn? I was like, he's not 100% my type, but he's hot. Okay. We just ended up having a
great conversation. Like, he actually, like, it, I was like, wow. We had a really good conversation.
The chemistry was there. And I'm like, okay, like, if he chose me and he did, like, we pursued
each other after that. Early on, I remember you told Anaya, you were worried Corbin had fuck boy
behavior. Yeah. But it was like a gut thing. Yeah. What do you think you were picking up on?
probably like his swag kind of and his nonchalantness of just and then and then I heard about the
kisses and I was like hmm I should have taken it more with a grain of salt than I did but I'm like
hey wait this is Love Island like shit I'm like a hand shake for me and so it's like this is
love island babe like and you just got here so I'm not going to fault you for that that's fair
Do you think you were shocked by how many people were in shock when you said that you thought that a kiss was like.
Yeah.
Like, okay, clearly I'm not going to do that outside of here.
Like, it's not like that.
But when I'm on a fucking dating show, we kiss and challenges.
What's the fucking difference if I'm, if I'm fucking like, what is it?
Like, come on now.
That's fair.
I mean, I think that's fair.
Yeah.
Outside of the villa, would you say, though, that you're someone who has a good read on guys?
Yeah.
I feel like I definitely have a good.
read and women's intuition gut gut feelings like you you got to stick to that if you feel that way
you feel that way for a reason oh without a doubt you have a feeling and you don't know why but it always
usually comes back around to prove you right yeah it does when it came to the next recoupling
Corbin chose you yeah how did it feel to finally get into bed with someone that you actually were
excited about um I was really excited to get into bed that night uh of course I find him
very attractive. We had great conversations, but I did miss being with him, being in a connection
with him. Yeah, it felt amazing. I felt like a squirrel climb on a tree, you know. He's the tallest,
like, tallest, like, and he got a lot of muscle. He's great. I said, I wrote down the next morning
you said, quote, he turns me on and no guys have really done that. I kind of feel like a new woman
this morning. Kenzie, what are some immediate turn-ons and turn-offs for you?
He's just sexy and also like the way he talks is deep voice.
I also like just how he would make me breakfast and it would be like the heart-shaped pancakes.
And I just remember missing those a lot.
Obviously you can't have someone make you those.
I mean, they can make you those in real life, but like in real life.
Like is a turn on a deep voice?
You didn't think it was chat GPT vibes?
It gave a little chat.
Jimmy T, Loki.
AI.
Give me the impression of how he says Kenzie.
Kenzie. Like, it's so deep. And he's cool. Like, he is really cool. He's a, he's a great person.
Pretty quickly on, obviously, you guys had immediate sexual chemistry. Yeah. You were talking about
role-playing, blindfolding, and handcuffing each other. Do you typically feel comfortable
sexually right off the bat with people? No. The connection that we had, I, he even said it too.
like our chemistry was crazy um but there was definitely sexual chemistry we'd never done any of that
i mean i don't think he had ever done it so that's why we were like talking about that we're like
well we could do that and then the bed scene happened where we were both blindfolded and it was
it was hot have you done all those things no okay hold on so what would your ideal roleplay situation
be probably being handcuffed and then blindfolded and then like that paint oh shit that turns you on
Any slime? I understand why they do it now. I understand. I'm like, okay. You're actually getting,
you're getting turned on in challenges. Yes. Oh, it's so interesting. Yeah, and you're like so sober.
It's crazy. But like, it's so fun. I'm like, okay, I'm going to be crazy. Turned on as fuck.
And you want to be handcuffed or would you ever handcuffed the guy? Both. But I would love to be
handcuffed. I like to be like, you know, put in my place. Okay. These are good things to do.
No, Kenzie. I had a feeling, but I'm just checking it out. Okay. Then comes the bed paint challenge
like you're talking about and in walks a cowboy. And the whole villa quite literally erupted.
It was insane. Every single girl was like, this is Kenzie's type to a T. This is Kenzie's type.
How did you feel about all the girls' reaction? I mean, I loved it. They're girls, girls.
They're supporting me. And they always support me. I love them so much for doing that. They knew I was
kind of talking about a cowboy wanting a cowboy to come in, but also that was right before I had
a connection with Corbyn. I'm like, can you please bring in like a guy for me? And then I'm like,
oh, I'm kind of settled down now. But also seeing Caleb, I was like, I mean, he's fine. He's
fine. And then the first thing he did was he came up. And when he kissed me, he's like, hey, Kenzie.
And I was like, stop. I'm dead. Okay, wait. Have you dated a cowboy before?
Yeah, kind of. Like, if you guys ever heard about Georgia Southern, that was like the guy that was
really in love with. And he was kind of like a cowboy. He had boots and stuff like that.
He had boots. Yeah. Did he wear hot? Sometimes. Yeah. Okay. So this is, has this fantasy been like a while
for you? Yes. I fucking love cowboys. Like cowboy movie. Fuck. Like that makes me wet.
Not serious. So we were really excited when Caleb came in. But again, you were a little torn.
But I do have something now with Corbin. Yeah. Something I want your take on that the internet really
caught on to was Melanie was screaming the absolutely.
loudest when Caleb came in and she later told sincere it was because she was excited for you.
But then she was also the first person to pull Caleb for a chat.
Yeah.
What do you think was going on there?
What were her intentions?
I think her intentions were good.
She was my best friend.
She knew I was wanting a cowboy to come in.
I don't know if, like, I know she did really, really like sincere, but I don't know if she
kind of also liked Corbin maybe a little bit and both can be true.
So, yeah.
I was going to say, can you clarify?
Because people online thought it was a bit hypocritical when you got upset at Melanie, when she later then went and pulled Corbyn.
Yeah.
Can you talk more about that situation from your perspective?
I would love to talk about that.
Tell me.
So when we had that kissing challenge, when she went back and forth to both of them, I had a conversation.
I was like, so did you know that you were kissing him?
And she said she had no idea she was kissing Corbyn or sincere or who was who.
And to me, I told her that was really hard for me to believe because you've been kissing sincere for how long.
And Corbin's a lot bigger.
Yes.
You know.
But we talked about that.
And then she told me that she was not into Corbyn, that Corbyn was her type to a T, but she's very much into sincere.
She said, you have nothing to worry about not pursuing him.
I'm not going to talk to him.
Like, we're good.
So then the next day we're like pooling and, you know, like beaching, whatever.
And then she pulls Corbyn for a chat to talk to him.
And then I didn't get to talk to her until later that night and I pulled her for a chat.
And I was like, hey, I'm just confused because not even 24 hours ago, like last night you told me that you weren't going to talk to him, that you weren't pursuing him.
So I'm like there's a disconnect there.
I'm confused.
And she said, yeah, well, that was yesterday.
Like me and sincere are not good anymore.
So I am going to pursue Corbyn.
And so that's why I was so upset because I just felt, I felt blindsided.
And I felt like if she was interested, just say, you know, I am interested in sincere.
But also, I do still want to kind of chat with Corbyn.
And I would have been cool with that.
It would have been different.
I don't think we saw that initial conversation between you and Melanie of her being like,
I'm not interested in Corbyn, like me and sincere are good.
So all we saw was me getting upset, you getting upset.
Which makes total sense.
Like, I understand why everyone's going crazy because it is like double standard kind of thing.
Like I, but I wouldn't have been upset.
But she was my best friend in there.
Yes.
So.
And she had approached you saying, I'm not going to go for that.
Yes.
And then her and sincere get in a fight.
And then she's going for Corbyn.
And I'm sure to you, it kind of felt like, wait, hold on.
Now is this just like to make sincere jealous or whatever?
Because I actually feel like I have a real connection with this person.
Yeah.
And I'm like getting finger blasted right before that.
So it's like, it's like I was, I was kind of liking him to a point.
And his finger blasted the same as French fries.
Yes.
I was, I was, I was having fun.
It's French fry.
I felt like you were having fun every single night, Kenzie.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm there.
I'm at Love Island for the summer.
What are we doing?
What's, what's going on?
Holy shit.
It did seem like you and Melanie had a few ups and,
downs this past season. What were some other moments when you look back that kind of like
tested your friendship? It was definitely that. And then right after that, Soul came in. And
sincere, they had a thing going. And Soul was very much like, she just felt isolated in there.
I don't want to like speak for her. But she, she was having a hard time. She was crying a lot.
And I just wanted to be there for her. So I started pulling her for chats. And I just said, hey, I want to
let you know you have a friend in here and I'm here for you and I think she's beautiful and
amazing person. But also at the same time, there's only so many hours in a day. You can only have
so many chats with so many people. And Melanie was pulling Trinity and Anaya more often. So I could only
as well talk to so many people as Melanie also. So it just so happened. We didn't have as much time
together. But of course, I wanted to be there for her as a friend. So that's why I was so emotional
later when we had that conversation and she was talking about that. Right. Did you feel like,
there was an unsaid dynamic in the villa that if you were friends with soul you were kind of also
then going against Melanie to some degree. Yeah, I don't agree with that. I like to, like I was just
trying to be there for someone who needed someone. And I think soul's an amazing person. I think
Melanie is an amazing person. But Melanie had a ton of support already in the villa where I just
saw Soul and I just wanted to comfort her and be there for it. Did it feel like Soul was being treated
fairly in the villa? I think that it was really hard for her to come in when she did. I mean,
she's a bombshell. She really bombed. I don't know. I did feel for her on a couple of days.
But I think she ended up, like, getting along with people, like after that. But just I felt for her.
Yeah. Where do you and Melanie stand now? Well, right before I left, I don't know if they showed this,
because I haven't seen it. But she pulled me for her check.
And we talked, like, we're really great friends.
I love her.
Since the day before I walked out, I remember holding her hand right before the door opened.
And she's like, don't worry, they're just as nervous as you.
And like, she was my comfort.
And she had been that comfort.
I know we went through our ups and downs, but I love her down.
And I'll always support her.
Like, she is the best.
She's an amazing person.
She deserves only nothing but love.
And that's all I have for her.
I love her.
Okay, back to Caleb.
Yeah.
It seemed like obviously he thought you were his type.
He quickly pulled you for a chat.
Now we got to go through this Caleb Corbin dynamic because, babe, it was a lot.
It was a lot.
And this was like, I think what you were getting the most heat for, so I want to get into it.
Yeah.
What was your first impression of Caleb when you guys, I know you physically connected that first
time.
I think you had a kiss.
Like, was the physical attraction there once you had a kiss?
The physical attraction was definitely there after we had a kiss.
I was very much into him.
And once you guys had that first kiss, were you still more into Corbyn or Caleb?
Yeah. So after that first kiss, I still had more of a connection with Corbyn on different levels other than just like attraction and just like one initial.
Like I fall in love by someone speaking to me like in my ears. I have to have time with you.
So on that initial chat with Caleb, he was like, who do you like more? Me or Corbin? And I was just like, I'm like,
Oh my God. I have a really great connection with Corbyn and I told him I still wanted to pursue that with him and that I was very unsure, but I really did like Corbin. And I said I'm very interested in also getting to know you. So this was essentially the first love triangle you experienced not only in the villa, but in your life. You said I'm a one person kind of girl. I'm confused as fuck right now. What do you think was the most difficult part of managing these two connections at once?
probably just like stepping on other people's toes in the villa there's other girls there that also
want to explore them as well um not knowing like what i can and can't say to either of them it's like
it's kind of weird i grew up watching the bachelor like like what he says i love you to how many three
girls and i can't talk about my family it's kind of wild like i'm on a love island dating show
am i supposed to be having conversations with other guys i don't know like it's confusing and it's so
hard because I'm like, I'll be kissing Caleb. And yeah, it's a great kiss, but I have a great
connection with this other guy. And that's why it was so hard for me. I'm like, my mind can't
compute. I'm like, uh, well, it is so I agree with you, Kenzie, because what's so weird is I'm also
watching UK right now. And like, everyone's talking about being at home. Like, everyone's like,
this is what it would be. And this is my mom. And they're saying that to multiple of their connections.
So I also feel like a lot of it is dependent on the cast per season kind of shapes the etiquette around
what's appropriate. Yeah, because like the season right before that was nothing like this season.
Nothing. Nothing. So it is interesting that like you were kind of moving what you thought was
right and then people would be like, what do you mean you talked about your family? And you're
like, oh. Yeah, everyone was actually like, maybe just don't do that. And I was like, okay.
But like I was just trying to talk about things outside of here to see if it would work outside
of here because it was real for me. And that's why I was trying to see what our lives work
outside of here. I think that makes so much sense also hearing it even more from you now because you're
like, if we're going to actually work, we need to somewhat talk about our circumstances outside of here.
We're not going to be in this villa forever. Why are we chatting about everyone else's couple in here?
How is that going to bring me any closer to you? It's not. Okay. The internet then was like,
you know what? As America, we're deciding to break Corbin and Kenzie up and we're going to put her in a
couple with Caleb. And I think America at first, by the time the voting was happening, really thought,
she should try with Caleb.
And then I think they were like, fuck our life.
Wait, it feels like she actually really likes Corby.
We just did her dirty.
And I remember seeing everyone online being like, wait, do we just fully fuck Kenzie
over by voting her into a different couple?
In hindsight, do you think that fucked up your experience a little bit because it really
put pressure on you to give Caleb an even bigger shot than maybe you were going to intend to?
Yeah.
I don't think it like fucked me over in a way because I was also interested in.
Caleb and I like that we got that chance to be together and talk and see how it would go.
But I was still feeling Corbyn a lot and I missed being in a connection with him.
And I wasn't understanding why Corbin, like, we were very kissy and touchy at the pool and
all of this.
And then right when he was coupled up with Melanie, he's like, let's not do any of that.
And so I was very much confused.
And then like the night on the dock, I was like, I want to kiss you.
And so it felt so weird.
And then Caleb was also like watching me.
out in the dog, which I was like...
That was a lot.
And we didn't even kiss and then like the whole house blew up.
No, no, no.
We know you didn't kiss.
But the looking from the kitchen, we're getting there.
And to clarify, would you have chosen to stay in a couple with Corbyn?
Had it been your choice for the recoupling?
I probably would have stayed with Corbyn.
Yeah.
Okay, let's talk about the dock moment because you're on the dock.
You tell Corbin, I want to kiss you.
he's like, oh, like, I don't know if we should be doing that right now because we're both a new
couple. Yeah, he said he wanted to stay like true to Melanie, which is, which is, it's nice.
Like that is, and she's my friend, so I understand. But like, at the same time, how are you
supposed to go from kissing, making out, doing things in bed to all the sudden? Nothing.
That's what I think was confusing about this year because it was like, so are you closed off?
Like, or now you're just in it. Because again, I'm watching UK just comparing it.
It's like the minute they face flip couples, then they're still making out with the other person they're talking to.
It's just having some respect and overcommunicating with the other person.
Yeah, and just communicating with them.
Because you guys didn't kiss and you're saying obviously there was this moment where like, what are we doing?
Do you think at all that the separation and the forbiddenness in a way made you even more pulled toward Corby?
I mean, I think that is 100% probably true.
Like, you always want what you can't have kind of thing.
Yeah. Caleb was convinced you guys kissed and he started telling everyone that you guys had kissed. And you went and reassured him that literally never happened. You did seem really frustrated and even upset when this accusation kind of started. And you said, it's hard because I feel like I'm supposed to be exploring both connections when I am feeling like I kind of can't. Did you feel in any way like this was hindering your experience and you couldn't?
be, you almost like didn't want to be honest in a way? Yeah, it did make me like, be like,
can I even be honest with him? Because I felt like he would probably take some steps back.
And all of our conversations right before the one like that they showed on movie night,
that was our best conversation. And that was, that was the deepest we had gotten. And I wish it
was like that the whole time. Because when he got back from Costa, he's like, he even told me,
we were playing volleyball together. And he's like, all the guys are saying I really changed and came
out of my shell and like I am who I am like and I'm like I wish it was like that the whole time
because it just it it wasn't you know shortly after this you end up kissing Corbyn and you did feel
like you needed to keep a secret what was your main reasoning behind that I didn't want the whole
house to blow up and neither did he um Melanie was sleeping in soul ties uh and I think that it was
because she would hear that we kissed and made her feel weird
so she would sleep in soul ties. She also missed sincere. And then Caleb, it was like, you know, he was
watching me already at the dock. He didn't want us to kiss. And I was telling him the whole time that
I still wanted to pursue Corbyn. So I was communicating with him. So I just didn't understand.
But I didn't want him to take steps back because I just wanted to move forward. If we kept
talking about that, it would just be going in circles, just talking about me and Corbin with him all the time.
Why do you think Caleb was not exploring any other connections when you were so clear that you wanted to explore multiple?
I don't know why he didn't explore other connections because I was telling him I'm exploring.
Please explore.
I just think that he was coming in for me and that's awesome.
I did say I want a guy that's all about me.
So maybe he just thought that it would have worked.
Okay, let's clarify that movie night moment you just said.
movie night we as viewers saw more context that we didn't originally see the next morning after your secret kiss with Corbin you had a chat with Caleb where you told him I just want to be more focused on you and growing our connection and getting deeper because that's the only way we're going to get closer I think that outside of this our lives would collide very easily and then you and Caleb kissed talk to me more about the intentions of that conversation especially after what we saw is that came right after
you kissed Corbyn and kept that a secret the night before. Yeah. I did just, I had no idea there
would be a recoupling that night. And I did still very much want to pursue Caleb. And I, after we had
that conversation that was at the ending of it, and I'm like, I'm like, wow, I'm actually getting
this energy from him that I had not gotten. So I did. I was like, I was like, I'm feeling him,
like a lot more than I had been for the past couple of days. And then right after that chat,
It was like, it literally was like recoupling.
And then it was me taking a couple of minutes being like, who do I like more?
And my heart was still with Corbin.
It's just I wasn't able to tell him that.
And even after I talked to him after the recoupling and I was like, I want you to know like none of that was fake.
It was all genuine.
I do still have feelings for you.
And he just said, he was like, well, that doesn't matter.
I guess like what mistakes do you think you made within that dynamic?
I think I told him that I did just want to like pursue him and talk to him, which I definitely
shouldn't have said.
Like that was like, that's not fair to him at all.
And it made him think that I was going to pick him that night, which I feel awful for it.
Because he wrote the sweetest letter to me.
And it broke my heart, like to be standing there in front of the mailboxes and see how it went
down and just like everything.
Well, now he's in Vegas, like, DJing and like hanging with her y'all made.
Like, he's fine.
He's fine.
Yeah, he's amazing.
In that next elimination round where you and Corbyn did recouple with the mailbox challenge,
Sol and Gabe went home.
But Corbin let you know that your name had been considered for elimination.
And when you confronted the boys, Casey told you that the reason you are considered
is because of you kind of giving similar reasons to Gabe.
You seemed upset by that comparison.
You said, I haven't been as lustful like Gabe has been moving.
How do you think you and Gabe moved differently in the villa?
I think Gabe's an awesome person, but he likes to kiss.
more and, you know, get into it faster. And I do tend to move a little bit slower than him. And I don't
feel like any of my connections were lustful. It was based on an actual communication and talking.
Like me and Corbin, I wasn't fully into him until after having a conversation with him.
Me and Caleb, it took a minute for me to be like, oh, I actually, I kind of like him. He's cool.
So. Yeah, that was such a big conversation in the villa this year of like lustfulness.
Like what is the definition of lustful in the.
Villa. I feel like lustful is just like you're only attracted to them because of their looks
and you look amazing. You're hot. Everyone's hot. Like, say something about my intelligence.
Say something about my hobbies. Say something about me and who I am, my family. Yeah. Okay, let's go to Casa
more. Yay. This was so big this season. Honestly, every producer, we were like, you need a raise.
They did their big one. Like, you guys thought that you were getting ready for the
heart rate challenge, you come down. And I actually think it was the worst gift in Love Island history.
You guys get a video of the men in Casa Moore having the Heart Rate Challenge with the Casa
more girls. And you're like, fuck my life. Yeah, no, literally, that's just going, like our jaws dropped.
What did you expect to be Corbyn's experience when you realized he had left before you saw the
live stream? I thought he definitely wouldn't hold back. I didn't think he would. I think he would.
I think he would have explored, but I thought our connection was really good.
So I was feeling good about our connection in a way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We loved the live stream as viewers.
We were like, oh, hold these men accountable.
Because we had had so many moments as viewers being like, none of these women know what these
men are actually saying behind closed doors.
Like, put them on blast.
Please.
Understandably, you were so angry watching Corbyn and Casey basically joke together about him
immediately leaving you before he even had a call.
conversation with these women. He saw them and was like, yeah, I'm out. Like, I'm completely going
going back with someone different. Had you ever been publicly disrespected like this?
No, I've never been publicly disrespected like that. It wasn't just the out of the window thing,
because apparently he didn't say that. It was KC. But yeah, I just don't take disrespect like
that. Also, my family's seeing that. I know what my dad would say. He'd be like, fuck him.
like my husband would never say that. So I'm not going to waste another minute.
You kind of didn't waste another minute though because I was going to say you really
handled it with Grace, babe. We watched you just basically drop down into the split.
It was Kenzie. It was the clam slam that was hurt all the way at Casa Moore, heard around the world.
It was like, everyone's like making their grilled cheese and you're like, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Everyone was like, well, I guess we'll eat because there's no men coming in.
I'm like, ah, fuck y'all.
Literally, fuck you guys.
Is that typically how you let out your anger?
I mean, it did help.
It definitely helped.
I loved it.
Like, shit.
But I was so pissed.
Like, what else am I going to do?
I had been one, I had all day shaking my ass upstairs in our room.
My arms were for the past three days after that.
Like, I was ready to fucking dance.
I'd been ready to dance since before I came on the show.
I was like, heart rate challenge, heart rate challenge, put me on.
So I was pissed.
And then thinking that there was still guys to come in and us to dance on, I was like,
okay, we're the men, bring them in.
And then I didn't happen.
I'm like, ah.
Kenzie, what the fuck were you doing with your arms?
Why are your arms so horrible?
Oh, I was on the, I was on like a chair like twerking that Melanie was teaching me how to like
ruin my ass.
So was a knife.
Oh.
Honestly, I think everyone was upset that we did.
didn't get to like really see you do your big one on that. But um, I just have to like give you your
props for that clam slam. Because at first, I think America was like, what is this girl doing? Why is she
always in the splits? And then it just became iconic. And like, I'm assuming you do the splits all the
time. Yeah. No, I do it all the time. Every morning. Okay, every morning. Okay. After you get
suspected by Corbyn, you, I think America was like, we fucking love this woman because you were like,
oh, I'm so done. I'm so done with that man. I don't see anything more. I'm completely done.
you literally woke up the next morning you said i'm going to wear black for his funeral today i am never
talking to him again typically is that how you respond in your life when a man disrespects you yeah typically
i do um act like that it's from my parents and just my self-worth that i get from them and i just
i don't fuck with it i don't fuck with that energy i'm not i'm not gonna shed a single tear and i'm
fucking glad i never did over him i feel like so many people caught on
to that where they were like, it feels like Kenzie has such a good relationship with her parents
that you could just feel your relationship, even with your dad. Like, it's so precious. Like,
can you talk a little bit more about what he's instilled in you? Yeah. So him and my mom, like,
they go on dates every single week. He pursues her all the time. And I know my man will do the same
thing. And he would, my man will never talk down on me or disrespect me in front of his friends.
Don't matter if he's with his boys. That does not fucking matter. And,
that pisses me off. Like, your man can't say whatever he wants. That's so disrespectful. And I'm
just not going to take shit like that. No one deserves that. No woman deserves to be treated like that.
No one. Are you someone? I know you didn't have your phones in the villa, but like, would you hit him
with the block? Would you ghost him? Like, what's your... Blocked. Blocked. Straight away blocked.
I'm done. You're just setting them the hard block. Yeah, cold turkey. Bye.
Okay. We need to get to Dylan. Yes, Dylan. So,
While Corbin's off and Casa Moore doing his thing, you turned your attention to the new boys
and you meet Dylan. What was like immediately attracting you to him?
His looks and then also, I mean, I mean, look at him. He's fucking hot as fuck. He's definitely
my type. And then he was the first guy that came up to me. And he was like, hey, I'm Dylan.
Like, I want to talk to you. I can't wait to chat. And I'm like, okay, he's been all about me
since day one and put that out there. I even saw that he like drew when we got to draw the people.
He drew me in a split. Like he drew literally me. And everyone was just like, you know you, this is
Love Island. You got to like go on. And he's like, no, I like her. Like I'm going for her.
And he thought me and Corbyn were in a great relationship. So we thought that because he hadn't
seen the live or anything like that. I see. It didn't know how open I was to pursuing.
Okay. Another boy that immediately caught your eye was gall. Yes. How did you feel about exploring him
when you also knew Jen was also going to explore him.
Yeah. So at first I wasn't really interested in Gaul.
The first thing he said to me, I was like, I definitely was attracted to him.
I saw him and I was like, um, hi, I'm 24. My name's Kenzie. And he's, and he was like,
oh, I was like, how old are you? He's like, I'm 30, but like basically I was saying like 24
was too young. And I'm like, well, I'm one of the oldest in the villa, but okay.
Yeah, good luck, baby.
Oh my God. So I just turned literally like, paid him no more attention the rest of the day.
But of course, I thought he was attractive.
He would be my type out of this as well.
Like, I think he's, he's fine.
And he's a nice guy.
But after that, in the, like, we would be in the kitchen.
And he was very much flirty and chatty with me saying that he wanted to chat.
And I was all for it.
I was like, I didn't know that there was anything between us.
But after talking, I was like, I'm here on Love Island.
I'm going to talk to men.
Dude, you got yourself in another pickle because basically you eventually had to
the opportunity to chat with Gall.
The vibe was there.
You two kissed pretty soon after you told Dylan this and you admitted this to him.
But I do think it's important to clarify.
You had told Dylan and basically every single person in the villa that you wanted to explore
Gaul and see if anything was there.
And there was no dishonesty this time.
There was nothing of that sort.
And then when you told him, Dylan started to cry.
What was your reaction to him getting so upset even though you had been so honest?
Yeah, I think that me and Dylan just had an amazing day that day, and we got really deep in the conversation.
So I don't fault him for his feelings were so valid.
I was wanting to have that conversation with Gall days before it happened.
But we got so close and seeing him emotional like that, I was like, wow, this guy actually cares about me.
I was just in a relationship a week before with Corbyn where he flipped on a dime.
So it didn't, I didn't know if this was real for anyone else like it was for me.
And then that helped me let down my guard with him because I was like, damn, he cares about me.
Yeah.
Dude, how did you feel when you saw that all of America thought that he was giving fake tears?
I know.
That actually crushed my heart.
It really, really did crush my heart because I don't think anything about him is fake at all.
And even since we got off, like the first thing I said to him was like, do you still like me?
he's like, yeah, of course.
Like, I was honestly scared.
And then in our hotel room, we've basically been in the hideaway, like, every single day.
And he is exactly the same as he is off camera.
And even his friend Brandon said that.
And that helped so much on Family Day when he, I was like, oh my gosh, like, finally, like, this guy's true.
He's real.
He's not doing it for the fucking cameras.
He's not, yeah.
And he's not even, seeing that people were saying he's an actor, like, what?
He's been in one music video?
Like, he didn't even say it.
What are you talking about?
He's been in a music video?
It's like in a Camaro or some shit and he's like they flip in the car and he's like making
out with her.
It's so L.A.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was just like, oh my God.
Okay.
Let's go back to movie night quickly when the video showed the clips between Caleb and Corbyn where
you basically told Corbyn when I was kissing him, I was thinking of you and then we
see you say to Caleb, I feel like I have more in common with you than I do with Corbin.
Yeah.
What was going through your head when you had to watch this in front of all of your peers?
Oh my God.
I was like, fuck.
No, literally I was like, this is about to be so fuck.
But honestly, seeing it, I was like, okay, that was, that was shitty of me.
And I shouldn't have gone about it and said certain words that I did.
And I could see more of why Caleb felt so let on.
And it made me feel awful.
And I just, I wanted to take that time.
like I was processing it and I'm like okay like that I'm sorry I didn't want to hurt anyone well I think
it was refreshing because you took accountability right away and we watched at movie night so many people
be like well but did it out when it came to their issues you were immediately like yeah I fucked up
I was wrong yeah but I think something that rubbed people the wrong way was it felt like Dylan was
kind of just like adding on to the fire because he was like I just felt like I watched the entirety
of last night on repeat what was confusing is from what we understood the
Casa boys like saw a lot of the season prior to them coming in. So he was fully aware of how you
had been moving in the dynamic with Caleb and Corbin. How did it feel to kind of have your character
be questioned by someone you were in a relationship with? Yeah, definitely. Or a couple with.
Yeah, it didn't feel good. I had conversations with him and I was like that hurt that you did
jump in on that. But at the same time, it was in front of his face more like that was just in front of
my face. And I could see how I was doing that. It's different. I feel like when you're just watching it.
And also, I knew he was scared because he doesn't want me to do that to him. And I probably would
feel the same way if I was watching it on the other side. And he kept harping on it. But I do think now, again,
I think we all as viewers have to recognize there's such heightened emotions in this villa. And there's so much
going into it, that it's like seeing it in 4K, it's going to cause a lot of emotions.
Yeah.
The girls in the villa really let you know they did not approve of how you were moving.
Kato went as far to say it's giving sincere.
What did it feel like to hear that?
Definitely hurt, but I listened to them.
Like, I hear them out.
And if that's how everyone was seeing it, then I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.
But yeah, it hurt.
I was very emotional, crying in the shower a lot, like, just feeling hurt.
Jaden was the only one that came up to me and was like, I don't think you did anything wrong, babe.
And I lost her later, within the compatibility challenge, and that sucked.
And then, like, Jen, she tells me straight up how she feels, but she always supported me.
And, yeah, it was hard.
Aside from the one secret kiss you had, you were so upfront with Caleb.
Sincere was repeatedly lying to Melanie and essentially everyone in the villa and Casa
Moore through his entire experience.
What are some examples that you can give that highlights how different your situation was
to Sincere's?
Yeah, I feel like he did lie a good bit to not only Melanie, but like some other girls
and his guy friends, hence why Corbin picked him in like the challenge too.
I never called them any names like,
fake promises. And I tried to be as open as possible to who I was talking to. And I know he said
something about like when he was in CASA about like it was a test for him a little bit, which I don't
ever feel like any of my connections were at me testing another connection with someone else.
It was just me seeing if we could connect on that level. There was never any who's better kind
of thing, you know.
Quickly after movie night, we saw a lot of the women in the villa support sincere, even being like, I'm team sincere, like, fully supporting him even after watching him on 4K.
Why do you think the girls were holding you to a different standard?
I don't know why the girls were holding me to a different standard than sincere.
Especially, like, after getting out, it does feel like sexist almost because I'm like, I'm not a male and it's like I can't move like them.
maybe. I don't know. It was hard. I didn't feel that supported at that time, except from like Jaden.
Did you feel like, because I can imagine, Kenzie, like you're blindsided, again, not only because
they're treating you that way, they're supporting sincere, who is doing 10 times worse than you.
Like, do you feel like that impacted your friendships for a little bit? Yeah, probably a little bit,
just when you don't feel as supported as you want to feel from your friends.
But we did get over it and we talked about it.
But yeah, definitely hurt.
Is there any moment that comes to mind from your Love Island experience
where you felt like you were being judged for exploring completely unfairly
considered what the men were doing in the villa?
Like another double standard that you can think of.
Probably just like my love triangles and just getting shit on and me feeling like I couldn't
talk, I wasn't allowed to talk to two people at once.
Like, it just made no sense in my mind. I'm like, where are we right now? I'm, I'm very
confused and feeling like I was just getting shit on over and over for exploring when no one
was closed off. So it's like, that's, like, that's, I think a lot of the viewers felt that way and
they were frustrated in some capacity with the season. I think people loved when Soul was like,
this is couples island. You guys are not even two weeks in. Yeah.
let's open it up a little bit.
Yeah.
So I could see where that would be frustrating.
I want to do some rapid fire with you.
Yes.
Okay.
Who do you think was the strongest couple?
Keda and Zach.
Who do you think played it the most safe?
Shit.
Maybe like Melanie and sincere.
Okay.
What's your number one flirting tip?
Winking, doing the triangle.
When you look at one eye, you look at the other eye.
you look at their lips. Oh my God, you just did it to me. I was like, where are we going?
Oh, I'm going. Oh, I like that. Yes. When you got your phone back, who was the most surprising
person in your DMs? Shit, I haven't even looked at my DMs. That's so shows you have a man.
Maybe you like you. I'm dead. You've been so hold up with your man. You're not even worried.
No, yeah, I'm not. Who do you wish you would have kissed and you didn't? I kissed everyone.
Okay. I kissed everyone.
Okay, have you seen that Corbyn doubled down calling you sincere in his post villa interviews?
Yes, I saw that.
How do you feel about that?
No comment.
Okay, no comment.
Fuck that.
Yeah, fuck that.
Okay, where do you and Zach stand today?
Are you guys friends?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, me and Zach are besties.
He's funny as fuck.
And I love Kada.
I would always third wheel with them there.
I don't think that they showed that as much.
But yes, after.
we had that little tiff, I didn't talk to him for a week, week straight. And I wouldn't let him look
in my eyes. That is true. I was like, the only thing this man commented on me was my fucking eyes.
So you're not going to be able to see it. Like, literally I'm not looking at you. But after that,
we did talk. I told him that, you know, I was sorry, but I'm not going to waste my time on a guy
that's not interested in me. I'm going to explore my options. That's why I was talking to Sean more.
Like, I'm obsessed with you, you're walking around with your eyes closed. You're like, don't look at me.
I know he's like, can I plead for a chat?
I'm like,
dude.
No.
I don't know if you've obviously seen the internet,
but there is a lot of conversation around Melanie and sincere.
Do you think Melanie should stay with sincere?
I think Melanie deserves the world, but I love sincere.
I do.
He's an amazing person, but I think Melanie deserves.
Is he an amazing person?
He's a good person.
I just don't know if they're great together.
Okay.
And maybe they played it a little.
safe. Yeah, because she was always just for him, kind of. Like, she always just wanted him. But I don't know
if sincere play it safe, but he did not play it safe. He did not play it safe. Where were you when
T.T. and Trinity were fighting at the fire pit? Titi and Trinity. You and Melanie, it looked like,
did you leave the fire pit? Are you allowed to say? Um, I'm not sure. Honestly, I might have been
taken a shit or something. There was no way you left. They were mid-fight and it seemed like you weren't
At the fire pit.
Were you at the fire pit?
No, I was at the fire pit then.
I was.
Oh, you were?
Yes, I was.
When Titi entered and was like, I'm Titi.
You were there.
I was out of the fire pit.
I was like this.
I was like, holy crap.
She was like, oh, you're a little girl.
I was like, oh, fuck.
Okay, you were there.
Yeah, and you were there the whole time.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good to know.
We needed to hear that.
Yeah, I never left.
You weren't taking a shit.
No.
How did you feel about Trinity calling Zach and Kate as exclusivity a situation?
Okay.
I don't agree with that.
I really don't. Exclusive, being exclusive, that's what my parents said. They would, like, I just see it as
my parents were dating for seven months. The first thing my dad said to my mom is, can we please be
exclusive? Because they were dating other people. And that's a step in the right direction to me.
And he, Zach, he just wants to ask her outside of here and have it just be them. And I think that's like,
romantic as fuck. He wants to do something more romantic with her. So I don't agree with that comment.
like a situation ship is when you're like with the fucking group of friends and you're just
fucking like and then it's like oh you're hot you're hot I'm hot what is this lingering beef with
parmita I don't know I don't know I feel like I've apologized a ton of times so I don't know
what more I can do and then when I said like I love you to her it's because she was leaving
and I just wanted to give her compassion and love at that time and then using it against me I don't know
I don't know. I was actually shocked at like after Sun. Well, your response was so fucking perfect. Were you surprised when on AfterSunt T.T said that she wouldn't be friends with certain people after the villa? I was a little surprised, but I do get where she's coming from because after we did the music or like the little karaoke dance, she felt like a lot of people were shocked by her being chosen, her and KC, which I think we were just kind of more shocked that Kada and Zach weren't in the top four.
than that. But I think that of course her feelings are valid. There's reason she feels the way she feels
soon. Okay. You guys after Post Villa went to Habachi the other night and a video started circulating
from Soul's live stream. Someone's talking about Melanie in the background. We hear something along the
lines of it was always the Melanie show. Anyone who was close to her got to stay. Like it sounded like
light shit talking. There was speculation at first it was you. Then there was speculation.
It was Jaden.
Tell us what happened.
Me and Jaden were definitely like talking about them,
but not in an awful way.
Like I fucking love Melanie and I'm going to stand by her.
She definitely, I feel like we were just saying she did get a lot more screen time
than a lot of other people who were in couples that like wanted to talk.
But there was never any shit talking about her.
I would never talk shit about my girl.
And Jaden likes her as well.
So do you think that people are going to think that you got like that's like,
oh, you guys are jealous because she.
just got screen time. I mean, they can think that. That's fine, but that's what we were like talking about.
So you were just talking about how she got more attention, basically. Have you seen all of the brands being
like, we will literally give you a year supply of this or we'll give you a car, we'll give you free,
whatever, if you leave sincere? No. Oh my God. Oh, my God. No, it's a lot. Kenzie, it's a lot.
That's insane. Okay. Like, what is the biggest difference between,
Day 1, Kenzie and Kenzie sitting here now.
I've changed so much.
It's crazy.
I still feel like I'm the same exact person, but I've learned how to communicate better.
I think going in, I wasn't able to do that as well and getting everyone's feedback.
My girls, the guys, I feel like I've changed and I've grown.
This experience at like social experiment or whatever the fuck you want to call it has changed
me.
I'm just, I mean, even all the hate or whatever, it's just like I didn't know I was.
would act so positively about it of just being like, I'm just going to, I don't feel anything from it.
I'm like, God knows who I am. My family knows who I am. My family's proud of me. And that's all that
matters. And my friends, like, I have them. Like, I've gained so much from this. Even just talking to
you, girl, I fucking love you. No, I love you. And I really hope that the energy stays the same because I
know that post-villa, there can be so much drama that comes even more drama somehow. But it seems
like you're really happy. You and Dylan announce that you are exclusive. Obviously, I know that you live
on the East Coast. Ish he lives on the West Coast. Like, are we doing long distance? What are we doing?
I don't want to do long distance. I want to move here. I was thinking even before the show,
I wanted to be a nurse in Miami or California. And everyone was always like, well, good look with that,
girl. How are you going to do that? Oh, you'll be just fine. Yeah. But now I definitely want to live over here.
Wait, so are you going to continue to pursue nursing, or do you think you're going to lean into like L.A. Hollywood?
I think I'm going to do a little bit of both. I want to continue doing classes online and keep my education going. I also need to take the inclics, like soon. I don't know when I'm going to have time to study right now. I'm like, I feel like my eyes haven't shut since I've left the fucking villa. But that is definitely on my bucket list. I want to do that and then continue nursing classes. Have you seen everyone saying that you need to go on dancing with the stars? Yes. Are you? Are you.
Do you like watch dancing with the stars? Ever since I was like two, my parents would watch
me like sit on the, my feet wouldn't even reach the end of the couch and I would just sit
watching the whole thing for hours. I wouldn't move. Like that's what also got me into dancing
later. I love to dance, love watching them. Oh, Kenzie. So you would say that's one of like your
top priorities if you could like do something crazy outside of the villa dancing with the stars.
Top priority would be dancing with the stores 100%. I really like that for you. Thank you.
What do you hope, thinking about it, obviously, and you just got out of the villa, but where do you hope you are a year from now when the next season of Love Island starts?
Man, I have no idea. Maybe I just want to be in, like, Hawaii and have some, like, have some smoothie, Aseibo with Dylan.
And then hopefully, you know, be boyfriend, girlfriend. I want to maybe one day have surf babies. I want to learn how to surf too.
I told him I was talking to him last night. I was like, I want to have five. He's like, five. I'm like, yes. And then we're going to adopt, too.
So wait, wait, wait, we're adopting.
But not just yet, but like, I do.
Okay, wait.
And have you guys, like, hooked up on the beach yet?
That is coming soon, and I've been waiting to do that.
We're about to do that.
Can you make sure you bring a blanket?
Because as great as it sounds, Kendi, the sand in the, no, I'm not trying to say that your whole fantasy isn't going to be great.
Yeah.
But just, like, bring some situation.
So it's not just sand in the vagina.
Thank you. I got you.
I got you. Have you ever had sex in the sea? In the sea? Yeah. No. No, I haven't had sex in the sea. Is that something
you're now adding to the bucket list? I was also asking him like, should we do it there too? But like, we'll see.
This man is like, I love my life so fucking much. Dude, I'm dying. Is there anything left that you feel like maybe was misinterpreted from your time in the village, just from little things that you're seeing that you're like, oh, I really want to clarify this because I,
I don't think it's an indication of who I am.
Yeah, I think there's only, like, so much that they can show because there's 24, you know, 24 hours of a day.
You're showing one hour of how many people.
It looks at the beginning, like I'm like this blonde, bimbo sex addict where I'm like, that's not me.
They didn't get to see all of me.
And I'm just hoping that people can see who I am now because I definitely do make jokes like that.
And it's fun.
And I'm witty and weird like that.
I'll say that, but that's not all of me.
Right.
It's like, it's a TV show.
There's so many different cast members.
So you're only to get so much time to actually put together your personality.
What did your dad and mom think about how you were portrayed?
My dad was like, damn, like that's not, that's not all of her at all.
They were thinking that they're just not showing my whole me and who I am.
And I think that's what was amazing about Family Day is that people could see where I came from
and how much I love them.
No, I'm so happy for you, Kenzie. I will just say, like, I hope the best for you. I think now,
having met a lot of people, obviously, when I interview them from Love Island, there's so much
attention that comes with all of this. And I wish you the best in navigating it. I can imagine
it's so overwhelming going from a summer with no phone to now the world is watching you.
And I am sending you all the good vibes truly. Like, seriously, you deserve the best. And I'm so happy
we got to meet. And so happy we got to meet. You have no fucking idea. Still fan girl like over here.
I feel like I'm in a damn dream. Thank you. Like let pinch me. Alex Cooper's talking to me and she's
pregnant. Watch your dick sucking the video. I'm actually dying. Kenzie, thank you so much for
coming on Collar Daddy. You're a queen. So much for having me. I love you.
