Give me 10. Give me 10. Give me 10. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to mention it all. Island time. We're back to talk about Love Island. I'm here with Chris Burns.

Hello. Aloha, if you will. Whatever the Fiji. Yeah, whatever. We have a lot to get into today. We have what? It's been one week, so there's 400 episodes that we've missed. So last week, we kicked off Island Time.

If you're new here, this has mentioned at all Island Time. We are going to be recapping Love Island USA every week throughout the summer. And if you're a Bravo watcher and you're tuning in, you just said, oh, Love Island. I'm not watching. There's, well, there is still good Bravo going on right now. But Love Island gives you something every single day. Love Island, it keeps you fed. It gives you a little something at night, too, because it's like summer, you know, not a lot on TV.

Unless you're a Knicks fan. Unless you're, but like, come on. The next, it's going to be over pretty soon. Sure. So we, last week, we kicked off and we only had one, the season premiere to talk about, which felt so, you know, we had so much room for activities. We were just getting to know everyone. Yeah, we really flesh things out. And this week, we are getting into more of our rhythm. Yes, yes. Where we are going to be talking about episodes two through six. Which has only been five days. The thing about Love Island, and if you've, if, whether

it's your first season watching or whether you, uh, do this to yourself every summer, it is crazy the way that the time like warps in your mind where it's like when we had a, a recoupling like two nights ago. And it was like, oh my God, Kenzie's finally in a couple. Kenzie's finally finding love. It's been so long since she got to share a bed with somebody. And it's like, so that was three calendar days. Yeah.

Well, that's also, I'm like, they sleep alone never. They're in a room with 45 people. Right. The whole mechanics of the sleeping is just my absolute nightmare. And can I also say, I don't understand why we're even doing this on an island. it is it's upsetting because I'm thinking we're going to get beachy vibes even on old shows

like are you the one on MTV they filmed on an island or something it felt like we were on an island there was a lot of palm trees grass ocean waves I haven't heard a wave the entire time we've been watching yeah the only the only place in the villa

that you even can like sense that you're at the ocean is like that weird like dock area where they can't go down yeah where they can't go down for all intents and purpose purposes, they could shoot this show like they do Big Brother on the CBS lot in LA. It would be on a soundstage anywhere.

And they could just pipe in some outdoor noises. You don't even. You don't even know. And also people could not have to wear just bathing suits all the time, but I guess that's the point. The dress code is really like picking up on it where it's like, okay, in the morning, you will wake up, you will put on swimsuit. Makeup swimsuit. Make up swimsuit.

Girls make up, boys make breakfast. String bikini, boys, just trunks. Yes. No speedos. No speedos. Because, okay, I don't. And I've heard this before because I'm like, what happens when they get an erection? Well, we saw with, um.

Zach, but a very, I think, I, I had heard that they have a strap on their leg that they can like attach, that they can like tuck it in, basically. Okay. Because I'm like, they're all basically having group sex 20, 22 hours a day. They're giving them like the opposite of Viagra. Literally. It's soft bills. And so there's nothing else to do in there. Right.

So I do see how people fall in love though. I have to say because I'm like sometimes watching these episodes, I'm like, I'm bored. It's been 30 minutes of them talking about like how to say something in a different language. And I'm like, they're just doing this all day long. So I guess I get it. They're doing it all day long, but also not because you'll catch like at various different points throughout the episodes, if like two people need to have a conversation, they'll sit down and they'll be like, oh my God, I haven't gotten to see you all day. Yeah. It's like, why not? And it's like, because

production is saying, okay, Melanie, you're going to wait, you know, we're going to, we're going to wait a little bit before you can have your talk with sincere. Oh yeah, that's true. And so then when they finally do talk, it's like, oh my God, we haven't, we haven't talked all day. I have, I thought we haven't had a good chat. And it's like, why not? Yeah. So like we said, a lot has happened since we last spoke and it's going to be like this every week. So we're going to kind of, we're going to talk about the biggest developments

and kind of storylines that we're following and, you know, we'll touch on a lot of stuff throughout, but we're not going to do the minute-by-minute breakdown because we would be here until... Tomorrow. Until tomorrow. Yeah, so Melanie, I would say, is sort of a main character of these last few episodes,

not necessarily in the best way for her. Yeah. See, I had a lot of hope for Melanie. Yeah. Here's what I'll say. You don't become the manager of a bikini store by playing nice.

She is used. She knows what it's like to have the itinerary where it's wake up, make up bikini. Yeah, exactly. You don't get anywhere in the bikini business without being a CEO. She's like, yeah, like, what else would you wear her in? in the day. Yeah. Why would you put on a shirt?

And can I say another thing? For being the manager of the bikini store, we haven't seen that many amazing bikinis from her. You know, the bikini over the last week that has made the most impact is Trinity breaking out one of those like color block triangle swimsuits that's very like 2010. I'll say all of the bikinis I'm not that impressed with. Yeah, they put more effort into the nighttime looks, I feel like. Which is, that is also insane to me when they're like, okay, it's time to.

change for the party and everybody changes and gets ready for 45 minutes or whatever and then they go back to the exact same place they were standing and are you not like sweaty and you're like re-putting on makeup sometimes also they have the challenges where everybody's like covered in goo and then they they clearly make them wait to shower yeah because they come like there's this um this like boss bitch one that happened a few episodes ago where they're covered in slime making out with each other. The women have like money being blown at them. It makes no sense. And they come back to the villa and they're chatting about like, you know, the developments of the challenge. And they're all just covered in this like pink residue. Crazy. We've got to talk about Melanie though. Yes. So Melanie and Sincere have been coupled up since the beginning. So it's been what, five days. It's, it's been a, we're nearing a week. There's time for the connection to develop. They are sleeping in bed together every night. sleeping in a bed together every night, but not cuddling every night because they have had some ups and downs.

Yeah. Because last week, you know, we, we met Kada at the very end of the first episode and we met Gabriel. And now, Kada, I'm like, oh, I've known Kada forever. Kada's my girl. I'm like, Kada, that's one of my closest friends. Gabriel, on the other hand, I have questions. But Kada's my girl.

Yeah. And Kada has been coupled up with, with Zach since she got back from, with the, like, erection station. what was the night, where they, where they spent the night away. Oh, the, yeah, the challengers. Yes. The room that makes you have a threesome, but Bryce is actually not invited. Which I thought Bryce was on board. Like, Bryce seemed like he was going to go for it.

Yeah, and they were like, but I was like, come on. I know. Give us the threesome. Just do it. A two-boy threesome? But so Kato's here. And of course, when you're a new bombshell, it's kind of your job to get to know everyone. And.

To blow it up, if you will. Sincere pulled Kada for a chat one time. Which was the most innocent chat. And within the chat, he's talking about how great his connection is with Melanie. Yeah. Number one, Melanie keeps referring to Kada as the wrong name from the time she comes. Or she pretends not to remember. She's like, what's her name?

Katie? What is it? Katie? And then they're like, Kata. She's like, yeah. So, Catherine. Like, she never acknowledges it. This reminds me of when, when Kristen Wig was still on SNL and they would do the Hoda and Kathy Lee sketches. Yeah.

And part of the bit was that Kathy Lee never remember, said the right name, Ahota. He was like, yo, a Hohara. Huda-l-l-l-do. That is Melanie talking about Keda, because Kada has dared to have one chat with her man. And then we have this boss bitch challenge where Kada and Mel are kind of like perpetuating a beef.

Melanie picks Kada as the one who needs to be fired. Yeah, because here's what I saw happening. Again, bikini store manager, right? this is a game for Melanie that she always wins. And I think Melanie thought, I'm going to pick her, dunk her, and this bitch is going to be afraid of me. She's going to be covered in the pink goo. Yeah.

Kada does not play, Mama. Kada does not play. So she picks sincere as her office crush and gets to make out with him a lot. Yeah, which she probably didn't even want to do. She was literally just doing it to spite her. Right. That's the thing that's like, I don't, like, sincere is not like Kada's object of, How old is he? 22, 23?

Yeah, and I don't know. And Cato also picks Sincere as the one who needs a promotion from their couple. So, of course, Melanie is still crashing out. And then there's this other, like, kind of mini challenge where they're asking these questions and they have to pick who they think the answer is and push people in the pool and... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Within this challenge, Sincere admits that he has texted other girls while in relationships.

And Melanie is, like, again, just seeing red. She has a confirmation bias at this point because she's like, sincere had one chat with Kada and then, so I know he's a dog. And then he's admitting that he at one point has texted multiple girls at once,

there it is exactly what I knew. Scum bag. Yeah. Scum bag. And so then we get a new bombshell and Melanie is like, perfect. This is my chance.

Melanie is like a dog, like when a squeaky toy is squeaked and a dog is like bouncing at the door. Yes. Melanie is literally like shaking and quivering. Yes, because in the last few episodes, we've had two new male bombshells enter the villa. First was Corbyn. Unimpressed with both.

Oh, well, yeah. Visually? Visually at first? It's working. Of course, Corbyn. I was like, okay. We'll talk about Corbyn. That's a man who was never ugly, though.

You can tell. Uh-huh. And so he's going to be bad at a lot of stuff. We'll talk about Corbin. But so Melanie, when he first comes in, he's like, sitting with all the women on the couch, and Melanie, again, is like, at attention. And some of the other women have already discussed, hey, since Kenzie is not in a couple right now, she's single and vulnerable. When Corbyn comes into the villa, we should let her have the first chat,

which is just like... Which is also like Beatrice is the one leading this charge. And if I was there too, I'd be like, girl, shut the fuck up. I'm going to take whoever I want. Also, it's like there are six of you. Like, you can just talk to all of you. Yeah. And also it's like, you just are like we're not going to have this sort of level of respect just because you. Right, it's early days. Yeah. We all have our connections that we're working on. And also, I just feel like sometimes you also, sometimes being the last one in the room is what you want.

You want to leave the impression. Well, like, Kada, who wouldn't let him kiss her. Yeah. And then, yeah. So Melanie is like very, very interested in this new guy, Corbyn. And Beatrice is like, hey, by the way. we didn't love the way that you were really like

leaning forward on the couch and not really giving anybody else a chance and then when you pulled him for a chat and we thought it should have been Kenzie first and it was like okay so like you just said I think that Beatrice is like overblowing I think a little bit

the girl code element of it I think Beatrice is performing for us at home I think she's very much giving, I'm going to be fan favorite because I'm going to be such a girl's girl. Right. But on the face of it, I'm like, okay, fine.

Yeah. Sure. And Melanie's like, oh, okay, I didn't like mean it like that. But, um, okay, sorry, I guess. And Beatrice kind of like won't. But also, you know, she's not letting it go. Before this, Beatrice is like, I'm talking to Kenzie because Kenzie, whatever, like made out with Gabriel or something.

Like, she wanted to have a conversation with Kenzie. and Kenzie immediately apologize. And she was like, oh, okay. Like, she wanted to have a fight, it felt like. And Kenzie didn't give her what she wanted. Yeah, so then she finds it with Melanie. And Melanie gives us one of the best, like, meme moments so far of the season. When she gets her from the couch...

I'm not going back to that couch. I'm not going back to that couch. I'm not going back to the couch. I'm not going back to her. Give me 10. Mind you, Kate and her don't even like each other. Give me 10. Give me 10.

Give me 10. Give me 10. Give me 10. Give me 10. And at this point, she's just kind of wandering around the, like, fake grass area, just kind of muttering to herself. Give me 10. And then she goes to sincere.

Can I just talk to you as a friend for a minute? And okay, when sincere brought this up the next day and was like, hey, so we're in a couple and we're supposed to have this connection. So when you're like, can I vent to you as a friend? I feel a little weird. Like I understood her explanation of that where she's like, I want my partner to be my best friend. And sometimes I just need whatever.

But it's like in like Love Island speak saying can I talk to you as a friend is the equivalent of, of, um, Zach telling, uh, Kenzie. Like I like your eyes, but you're not my type. And I think all of it is because sincere talk to Kada. I think she is spiraling out of control for days because she was hurt by. Well, and then what's what's crazy? So we have this like, give me 10 debacle. then the next day she and Beah have this conversation

that ended up being like a really emotional conversation because it's Beatrice being like I feel like I have to be strong and I don't know that I can be soft. She's like I just hate like sometimes I don't present as feminine as people want and I'm like meanwhile at home everybody is speculating she's like bisexual and stuff. I'm like girl wait till you see what they're talking about. I know but so they have this like tender moment so it's like okay we've moved past

I'm not going back to the couch. Yeah. And then we get this bed bedroom. Challenge. Again, the word challenge. So they make. Doing so much work. And it looked almost like it was a real bed.

Like I couldn't figure out how it was constructed. A lot of plywood under there. A lot of plywood and maybe some pads. I bet everything in this villa is so flimsy. It's like a carnival. like my dad never used to let us ride carnival rides because you said drunk carnies put them up in the middle of the night. I would be afraid sleeping in Love Island.

A hurricane comes were all over Fiji. Yeah, like the bones of the building itself, I'm sure. No, and the bones of the cast will be spread all over the place. Every piece of like decor, nothing is real. And the trans flag colors in the bedroom on both the. bedspread and the lights. I think they also have like the lesbian flags in there somewhere. But so this bedroom challenge, it's like the boys are all handcuffed.

The girls are blindfolded. They have to like find their man. Also before this, so Corbyn is talking to Kenzie about his fantasies. And he does mention, number one, I don't believe his voice is really like this. Oh, I don't believe it. Because like there's no way. But he is. So you want to remind me of how that kiss was?

And she's like, Kada's like, no. Good for Kada. He's talking about how his fantasies. He's like, yeah, you know what? I was thinking maybe like one of my fantasies were in bed together, right? We turn off the lights. And we just like find each other.

I'm like, hook up with the lights off is your fantasy? He was like last night when the room was mad dark. That's how everyone has hooked up from the dawn of time. It is kind of crazy, though, that he, He's like, yeah, I mean, I would be into blindfolds. I would be into handcuffs. And then Ariana wheels in that giant bed and it's like, so we've got blindfolds and handcuffs. But so the girls have this like paint that they have to get.

Everybody has a different paint color. And so you can see who's been where. And the men are each chained to a different section of the bed. Right. And I did notice also it was like, okay, if your couple is on the left side of the bed, they're going to make you start from the right. And vice versa. So everybody, the idea is that you're going to like climb over everyone, make out with people.

And try to figure out who's your partner. I love though that they don't. Like in the instructions that we see, Ariana is never like, have fun and make out with all of the guys. Well, yeah, because at the beginning she's like, oh, she's going for a kiss. But it's like, clearly that is the understood instruction. I think they all, they don't, they'll be like, okay, the game is Jenga. They start making out. They like don't know.

They're like, okay. When it's okay and when it's not. So you're going to play a game of monopoly. And every time... Okay, she takes her top off. Every time you pass go, you get to make out with the property owner. You get to make out with, yeah, literally. That is how the whole show is.

It's like, put... You're in jail? Horny jail. Yeah, literally. You're going to make out with the warden. But yeah, so they're... Everybody's making out with everybody. Clearly, like, the issue with this challenge isn't like, oh, you kissed somebody else.

but Melanie And the girls are blindfolded The men are not so they can see So the men are watching everything Like, oh Also I'm like there's no absolute fucking way That you don't immediately know who your person is Because you don't make out completely silently

Like a little You can tell someone's voice by just like a cough Well and with with Melanie when she kisses in cheer It's like oh I know she felt that bun Oh of course I'm like also like Corbyn six four. Right.

What do you mean? But so everybody is kissing everybody. That's not really the issue. But Melanie gets to sincere and they're making out and it's like, oh, she found her man. And sincere's chains next to Corby. Yes. Now would be the right time for Melanie to handcuff herself to sincere and end it. Or maybe she goes and gives Corbin a little like perfunctory kiss because you kiss everyone.

Yeah. But she is like up on sincere. makes out with him and then keeps going, which is already like, and then she's making out with Corbin, and it's really into it. And then she starts going back and forth. Like, at least six times.

Like how you, um, when you're like breading chicken or whatever, and it's like, okay, we're going to put it in the egg wash and then the flour. Eggwash breadcrumbs. It's going to be some crispy fucking chicken. I'll tell you that. And she's like, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk.

And does it like four times? She's like, one more. One more. Before she finally handcuffs herself to sincere. A disrespectful level. A disrespectful level. And then at the end of the challenge, we bring in another bombshell. Yeah.

And so sincere is already like. Well, they bring in, so they bring in bombshells. Yes. And the girls are blindfolded, but then they bring in the other girls who have a different paint color. And they. Sol and Jen. Sol and she looks like a Jen, honey. When she just says, I'm from Florida, I'm like, which?

No, she literally steps out and I was like, this is like, a one-season real housewife of Orange County. She's not from Miami, let's say. She, yeah, no, come on. Okay, her and Kenzie are both from Kennesaw, I would assume. But yeah, so they like sneak in and are making out, but the girls aren't supposed to know that they're there. But they're like on the bed.

I'm like, you can feel the mattress moving. Well, that's why I'm like, it's not a real mattress. There's just like some, like, thin foam pad. Also, Mel making out with Trinity. Mal making out with Trinity? Yeah. That was fun. I'm like, but Melanie was just like, she was really trying to...

She was really into it, and then continuing, at the end, Caleb comes in, and the girls have their blindfolds off, and they're very excited. But Melanie is over the top, hooting and hollering. And I'm like, girl, that is not your type. There's no way that corn-fed-looking man is your type. It elated that there is a new guy entering the villa. And notably, when he's, like, talking to them, she's, like, up on her knees on the mattress, like bouncing on the fake mattress.

And Trinity, she does the exact thing that she did with that first chat with Corbyn. And Trinity has to be like, Melanie, sit back so Keda can see. Not like two days after she told Beatrice, oh, I'll never, it'll never happen again. I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose. Yeah, listen, she's not an employee at the bikini store. She's the manager. She's not used to being a team. She said, she said, oh, yeah.

Well, does K don't want to put on, does K don't want to sell more bikinis than me? Yeah, how dare she? How dare that bitch come for a pretty girl like me? But you have to think, and obviously I'm sure we'll get the fallout from this, you know, by the time you're even listening to this. But like, it really feels like Melanie kind of wants to have her cake and eat it too,

where she's, she's in this connection with sincere, they've recoupled with each other. She's talking at the beginning of this episode about how, how excited she is to get to share the bed with him. And I'm like, since when? Yeah. Like, it doesn't feel like she is that authentically, like, really invested in her

relationship with sincere, aside from the fact that that's the couple that is maybe going to keep her here longest. Yeah. But then every time there's another option, she's acting like Oprah just told her she's getting a free car. And I'm like, are you actually interested in this person? are you just trying to make him jealous?

Yeah. Like, I am, I've gone to being on sincere side. Yeah. And I think it's, it's like, I don't care so much whether, like, Melanie and sincere are, like, going to be in love or whatever. Which they're not. They're not. But in terms of kind of the, the way you're operating in the structure of the game,

it feels like Melanie wants to have this, like, secure connection in terms of, of her staying there, but it's like, if I were sincere, I would be like, okay, well, I'm going to pull Jen and Seoul the new bombshells for some chats ASAP, because it kind of seems like Melanie's going to leave me at the drop of a hat. A hundred percent. And I think Melanie's just waiting for a guy who's like more choosing, trying to, like, take her. And I think it could be Corbyn, depending on how things work out with him and Kenzie.

Because I think Melanie would be more into Corbyn than she would be. Caleb. Yeah. Because like that's like okay. Okay first of all the two new guy bombshells Corbett and Caleb are 22 and 21 which I think is interesting. It's interesting because last week we were talking about Bryce was 29. Sean I think was 29. The the guys were a little older than the girls at the beginning of the season and now we've brought in these like hot young things and I could see that being totally. A little bit of a story where it's like,

is Trinity going to want the 29-year-old kind of like goofy white boy, or is she going to want the 21-year-old goofy white boy? And which of those boys would she rather suck off while her mom is driving the car? A 29-year-old man.

Okay, if she's sucking off a grown man with her mom in the car, we can't even get into Trinity sucking off her boyfriend while her mom drove. I'm so sorry that that's the phrase I introduced. Isn't that what she says? It was daylight saving time so it was dark.

Great. It was like a big car. Also, how do you remember it was daylight saving so it was dark? Like when you just feel like it was dark? I think she means like it was the winter or like daylight saving time. It's so. I've like turned this over in my brain trying to like see her point.

And it's like, okay, so it was dark. the crazy thing too is thinking about it. It's like, in my mind, I'm like, oh my God, that's a crazy story from way back when. It's like she's 22. That happened like last year. I know. That's why whenever they're like,

the same thing with Corbyn. He's like, yeah, it was a player for a long time. I'm like, till what? High school graduation? What are you fucking talking about? Exactly. It does really. Like when I was younger and I would watch like dating shows and stuff,

I don't think I really like thought that much about how old people. Because even on The Bachelor, it's like you have 23 year old girls that are like, I've done everything to look. for love and now I want to find my forever man. It's like, okay, cringe. But on this show, it's so funny, the way that they engage with the idea of like, I used to be a fuck boy, but now I'm not.

Or like in my, in my old relationships, I used to do this, but now I'm so, and it's like all, almost all of you are like under 25. Yeah. Wait, also, did you catch when Beatrice was talking about how her ex was 20 years older than her? Yeah. And then Gabriel was like,

oh yeah, my, he's like, 20, that's crazy. And she was like, yeah, did you ever dating older woman. He's like, yeah, my ex is 18 years older. And I'm like, you both have exes 20 years older. He loves older women. It is interesting though, because it's like, Love Island is just simply not the place to go if you want to find an age gap relationship. Oh, you know what? Gabrielle could go on, Milf Manor. Is that still happening? I don't know, but I'll watch that's easier. Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick.

She had her initial connection taken away from her by Kada. Oh my God. And she has not forgiven Zach to this day, which I think. is kind of fun. This is a girl who's never been rejected. She's never been rejected. I mean, she's lived her whole life in Kennesaw.

She's like, why would he compliment me? I'm like, he didn't. He said you have piercing blue eyes, which is a fact. My father has piercing blue eyes. A husky has piercing blue eyes.

That is a beautiful dog. Like, I'm like, it's not like, he wasn't like, you have beautiful piercing blue eyes. Right, it's like your eyes are so, your eyes are so blue is not a compliment. The way he was like, and I don't like it.

He was saying it in a way of like, and I don't trust. It's like I used to, like, I did theater growing up, and it's the thing of like, oh my God, I saw your play. The lighting was good. Uh-huh. You got a haircut. Oh, my God. Your shoes.

Oh, my God, outfit. Come on. Come on, blue eyes. Yeah, but so Kenzie is single and vulnerable for a few days. Yes. And she's like trying to talk to Nick. So is Sean. Oh, what's his name, Sean?

He looks like a Nick. Yeah, no Nick. Um, and Sean's making her breakfast. and that seems like it could have potential. Sean is a sweetie, it seems like. Sean's a sweetie, but also a cop. And then that's the whole thing. And then the second that Corbyn comes in,

Kenzie is like, okay, this will do. This will do. She gets the second chat after Melanie has staked her claim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so every girl has already kissed Corbyn in the accounts department at the BossBitch Challenge. But Corbin does this thing that is just so, so like skeezy where when he's having these initial chats with with kentzy with keda he goes

can i get a kiss uh we that kiss in the challenge was nice can you i think i forgot can you remind me yeah and kensi is like yes sir yes sir yes sir yes daddy so they make out basically before saying hello to each other yeah and then kata has her chat and he's like can you remind me of the kiss and she's like let me get another kiss Not yet. No, I want to talk. And he, it's one, okay, it's one thing to ask. It's one thing to be like, we're on Love Island, can we make out? When Kada's like, cool your jets for just a second, he acts like he has been like humbled.

Because he never has been. I'm sure. This is a man who's been running game in high school and college. Yeah. And he's 22. And he's, he graduated. three weeks ago, he said. I just walked.

Yeah, I walked, he said, because he graduated early. I really appreciated Kada kind of like putting a boundary there because Kada is like, okay, I was just the bombshell a few days ago. That was messy.

I'm now in a couple that I'm enjoying that is going well. I have talked to other guys. It's like, Kada isn't like desperate for a connection. Kenzie needs somebody to pick her. Kada's like, I don't need to make out with you right now.

And I like that even in the like environment of Love Island that is like horny and messy and whatever, when somebody is still like too much. Yeah. Well, I like that Kada has like true confidence. Yes. It seems. It's not a fake confidence. And we really haven't seen, we haven't seen any like drama from her really. Obviously, the way that they had her enter the villa was dramatic.

And the thing with Melanie, when she's like, I am a tip for tat girl. And I'm like, she is a tip for tat girl because she also made out so hard with that new bombshell just because Zach was covered in that paint. Okay, true. Which I love. I'm a tip for tack girl, too. Okay. It's not that there's no drama. I'm really liking Kada's way of like handling business.

I like her. Yeah. I like the way she speaks also. Yeah. She should be managing the bikini store. She's coming. She's the new keyholder. She's coming for Melanie's gig.

Her man and her job. Right now, she's like the assistant manager. Yeah. And if Melanie... The regional assistant manager. But the thing is, you know, when you're working retail. And there's that manager that is like on paper good at their job, but a little unstable. And like a mean, a mean bitch still?

And there's always that manager that is like one crash out away. Who's like swinging her keys and chains. smoking all the time off. And I feel like Melanie right now is giving that energy of like this could go off the rails. Yeah. And Kada's going to be there to snatch up the swimsuits. And yes. And she's like, what do you, I don't think this job is that hard at all. It's like, oh, it's just like managing the store. It's just like stocking. What's the problem? It's like the one person that makes being a manager their whole personality. And then the other person's like, okay, sure, I'll do it. It's like the person that's 22 and they're like, no, I want a career in this. This is going to be my lifelong career. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm here for weed.

money. So back to Kenzie. Yeah. She's exploring her connection. She got this thing with Sean. Corbin comes in. She stakes her claim. Corbin gets to choose her in the recoupling.

Which I think also was like, of course he's going to choose her. Who else is he going to choose? Right. I think, I don't, not to doubt that Corbyn has a great. Are they allowed to like say no if they're chosen by? No, if it's like the girls are choosing, then the girls get to choose. Interesting. I think, I think, not to deny that Corbyn and Kenzie have just an electric connection.

He's the lion, she's the gazelle. Which he keeps saying, she's like, I want you to be like a lion and I want to feel like a gazelle. And then like 20 minutes later, she's like, wait, I'm looking at your eyes. You look like you're like a lion. Lion eyes. Does she know that the gazelle dies? Yeah, I'm like, girl, do you know what happens to that gazelle? The throat gets ripped out.

Right, like, they don't, that doesn't end with the lion fucking the gazelle. It like it ripped his head off and fucks its throat So be careful girl Eating the entrails But so So she gets picked And I'm like Objectively I think it is good love island strategy

If you're the bombshell coming in To just pick the person who's Not in a couple A They're going to be happy to be safe And B You're not going to make Enemies of half the villa

And obviously is a bombshell Like on paper like in theory they want you to come in and like shake things up and it's going to be messy and blah blah blah but like in terms of staying in the game the longest yeah you don't want everybody else to like fucking hate you yeah yeah so do they ever bring back people that have gone home i don't think so there was i remember last year um Zach's brother charlie was on last season and he he went home pretty early and people had been like really into him and there was like rumors that maybe he would come back, but I don't, I don't really think they do that so much.

I'm like, Nick would also be nice. Sean. Sean. Who is Nick? Nick. Nick was on last week. I didn't even watch last week. Wait, we saw Nick DJ last week. I left before.

I don't know where I'm getting Nick from. Wait, we didn't even mention, we both were at this Love Island, like, TikTok, Gov Ball event. Giant, yeah. Last week. And it was so, they were like, oh, it's the weekend of Govball. Live Nation is a special. There's going to be a special musical guest. It's like, okay, who's the guest?

Who's the guest? And they go, DJ, Nick Vans. And it is Nick Van Steenbrook. Van Stenkelstein. Whatever his name is. DJing. I don't think the equipment was plugged in. Let's just move on.

Let's keep it pushing. Nick, congrats on the DJ gig. That's like the new career trajectory for a reality star. It really is. There's so many. If I, there's one more, like, 58-year-old DJ coming out of the housewives. So what do you think of, of Kenzie and Corbyn just, like, vibes-wise? I think Corbyn is going to pick another girl as soon as, like, a girl that he's obsessed with or whatever.

Yeah. Comes in. I think Kenzie's going to spiral out because Jen kind of looks like her with bigger tits. Yeah. Even though Kenzie, I think, is way gorgeous. I think just the fact that that girl's blonde is going to be enough to send her over the edge. Yes.

I'm also scared for whoever, Corbyn, I guess, because I'm like, the way she was with Zach after he didn't even one time pick her, or say he liked her, or cuddle her, any of that, she was, like, crying that she always picks cheaters for days. She always picks cheaters after one day. And so when she's hooking up actually with someone

and then they pick someone else, And so like we talked about in that bedroom challenge, we have three new bombshells. And so now, because we have Sol and Jen and Caleb, there's going to be more girls than guys, which suggests that the next recoupling will probably be the guys getting to pick. Oh, no. And we'll see what happens with the bombshells and stuff. but essentially it's like they kind of usually switch off basically and so I imagine that Sol and Jen will have some interested parties yeah and soul for sure soul is so striking and

stunning the body the body and the short hair first of all the like flat stomach and big tits it's a it's a killer combo and you know these got take you know these guys fellas. They are so about the body on this show. And specifically bringing in these two women in the tiniest lingerie. You've ever, I mean, Sol is wearing like a string of a song. A full G string. An amazing ass.

Amazing ass. Everyone's ass came to play. I'll say that. And you know what? So I've seen discourse that last year people felt like the bombshells as a whole throughout the season were not. Hot enough. Hot enough. And that this year, it seems like production has...

You have to reserve the hottest. Steps their bombshell game up and said, we heard the people. You guys want sex bot, only fan model looking. Sex robots. You want the bombshells to literally have them shaking in their boots. Yeah. And I think they're doing it so far.

100%. Caleb, I don't know. I don't think Caleb was hot. I wasn't getting that. Not, not to the point where I'm like, oh, fuck. I was like, okay, yeah, like, I'm like, he's fine looking. Because, like, Corbin, I don't want to have a conversation with him. No.

But, like, if he stands there, it's, it's working. Yeah, oh, 100%. No, I think that Caleb looks like an ear of corn. Like, he looks like a human. Yeah. Like, if White Toast was a person. Yeah, it's giving, like, Shuck to the musical. Independently owned, yeah.

He's in North Carolina. Yeah. I do. That could work for Kenzie. though. She's gonna destroy him. Although he did have game. Does he have lion eyes?

I thought that when he like took the eye cover off of Kada and put it on Zach to start making out with Kada. Yeah, he was like holding a sand. I was like, well, okay. Yeah. That's the thing is like you just, you want the bombshells to be like, to be having like fun with their role. It's almost like the bombshells are like put on Molly before they come out on stage.

They're like, you will. They're like, do hoppers in the back. So like, yeah, literally. It is like, it's crazy to think, though, because, you know, we're, like, through the first week, basically. It's crazy to think that, like, we're still really early in the season. Yeah, how many people do they bring in? Last year, I looked up, I think, over the course of the whole season, there were, like, 30

contestants. Wow. There's obviously, like, waves of bombshells. And then at some point, we'll be Casa Amor, which is, like, essentially a whole second cast of people that they swap. So they do like halfway through the season. They do Casa Amor where there's essentially like a second villa called Casa Amor. And there will be a second set of girls and a second set of boys.

And they'll be like, okay, the girls, you're going to go to Casa Amor. And there's like six boys waiting for you there. And the boys, you're staying here and there's six new girls coming in. And so they couple up, they test their connections, whatever. It's always chaos. But for like a day or like 24 hours? A day is 24 hours. Well, I mean like a night.

I mean like a day, an actual work day. No, they're definitely like gone for a bit. Okay. Like a day or two. Okay. And then they're wondering about the sleeping arrangements. They sleep. Three to four.

Three to four days? There's no way I'm getting my man back after that. That's a year in Love Island time. I promise. I'm like, if a man leaves my physical presence, I'm like, I'm never seeing him. So, so there's a lot left to come this season. That's crazy. I can't wait for cost of more.

I think there always is the, like, a weekend to Love Island, you always feel like, oh, I know these people so well. These connections have had such a long time to form. Yeah. Like, look at Casey and Anaya. On paper, definitely the strongest couple right now. But we see when Anaya takes off her blindfold, she is not happy about the amount of red paint. No. That is on Casey's...

And she doesn't make out with anybody else. torso. And yet, that is the one thing that I think is important. So you're always like, oh, who's stronger in the connection, whatever. Anaya is the only woman who's like, oh, I'm not going to use this as an opportunity to like swap spit with everyone. I'm just going to like find my man. She's like, I also have mono, so I should probably chill. She's like, I'm waiting on my COVID test. But so it is like, I think that that's the kind of thing where in this show, something that seems as simple as that could be a turning point where now there's two new bombshells. If she's not as if she's pissed off at him, maybe she's talking to Caleb.

Maybe she's exploring a connection that she made up with Gabriel. Like there's a lot of... And he's very into her now. But again, yeah, I think his dream type comes in. We'll see. I don't think to me like Casey and Anaya are the only couple right now that is giving like potential end game. And it's still so early.

When she and Casey are talking and. he's like talking about himself more in detail. I'm like, girl, you're better than this, man. Well, that is, that's always the thing too, where it's like all these people are around the same age, but they have different life experiences. Like, I've never taken a risk. I didn't go to, take a risk and go to college. I'm like, well, seems like a, right.

And it's like, I mean, like, he, he like has a job. It's not like he's, like, total bum. But it is, it is, I think we're thinking about, like, if you're somebody who, you know, Your lifestyle is a certain way. You're seeing the world. You're going out and doing stuff. Maybe she likes to go to a museum or something. And he would just be like, oh, art.

Well, that's also. What's art? They're like, I'm like, you took a risk coming to Love Island, I guess. But you can see them kind of testing the waters. But like, so do you want to be an influencer after this? Yeah. And they're like, so would you move to L.A. or... Miami.

Yeah. Or New York. of the three major, I don't think anybody comes to Love Island for love. Yeah, there was like one, I think it was Trinney. She was like, so have you talked about like life outside the villa? And it's like, are you talking about like a future together or are you talking about just like life outside the villa? And I think she means like, where am I from?

It's like what do you do for fun? It is like that's when you also see like, okay, they're in there all day, but like they're not actually like allowed to talk as much as you. Yeah, that's a nightmare. As much as you think. Sean got dumped from the villa or Nick, as you would say. You look like a Nick, okay?

I don't think that Sean was dumped too early because I feel like he just compared to a lot of the other people. I don't think that he is like a love island catch in the same way. Like he's a good looking guy. He seemed nice, but like he's a little bit older. He has a kid.

I don't think he's like the hottest commodity. To a 23-year-old girl. To a 23-year-old girl who's on Love Island. And so to me, I'm like, I a little bit am bummed for that him and Kenzie don't get to have any more exploration. Yeah, I know. Because I did, I think that him and Kenzie would be better together than Kenzie and Corbyn. Oh, totally. Just because of Corbyn is like not a real person.

And somebody needs to like, be like, Kenzie, you're being crazy. Yeah. But I don't, to me, I'm like, it's okay. It's also funny that Beatriz was like, I don't want to date him because he has a kid. kid or whatever, but then she's like, I usually date way older and my ex was 20 years older. Yeah. The kid thing felt like such a gut reaction from her. And then it sort of never came up again.

No, I think she just didn't like him anymore and didn't know what else to say. Yeah. Which fair. Fine. I've lied to a man about why I don't want to see him anymore. Most men have lied to me. Okay. Do you have any favorite moments from this first week?

Any little tidbits that have risen to the top for you? I feel like, give me 10 is kind of like the biggest. Yeah. Give me 10th. Like, viral moment so far. What was your favorite? I mean, when Trinity admitted to the head in the car situation with her mom, and it just, it was daylight saving time.

It was daylight savings. I'm like, I didn't even, I saw, like, an influencer talking about it after, and I was like, I don't think she said that. I don't remember her saying that. I had to go back. Also, when Sean and Kenzie were talking, and he said he likes anime and reading about dragons and shit. And she was.

And Kenzie goes. It wasn't that long ago. I asked my mom, like, are dragons real? She's like, oh, like, so you like, Lord of the Rings, like dragons and stuff? Oh, yeah. She asked if you watch. Do you watch Lord of the Rings? And it's like, well.

From I read anime. It's three movies. Or watch anime. Kada is asking everyone if they know where New Hampshire is. That also, I'm like, girl. Yes. Like. Okay.

Can I say, though, living in New York, I'm from Missouri. Okay. People don't know jack shit about U.S. geography. That is true. When I'm like, I'm from upstate, people are like, oh, yeah, like, Westchester. I also, um, I really liked, I really liked, this was like a small moment, but when, um, when Gabrielle first took away, uh, Beatrice and Trinity from in the like, fuck room or whatever, and he was making them guess where he was from. And he was like, I'll give you a hint. I speak Portuguese. And Trinity guessed Brazil correctly. And she goes,

was, I did good. It's like, okay. Honestly, Trinity's been growing on me too. I think, yeah, Trinity is like, I think she has a lot of potential, and I almost feel like the Bryce relationship is kind of like holding her back. The Bryce pearls are holding me back. The necklace is weird. It's, it's like, remember the episode of the office where Creed dyes his hair black?

and he's like, what's up, guys, what's up? Every young people, that was kind of. When you're like, yeah, when you get like a new pair of shoes or something that's like a little bit outside of your comfort zone. And it's like, well, here I am. Anybody? Anybody. Hello? But yeah, no, like I, Trinity and Bryce, I think are really leaning into the idea that their connection is strengthening.

Yeah. And she's like, yeah, like, actually I do. actually I do like, actually I guess I do like Bryce. And, you know, we do have good chats. And you know, I guess, yeah. It is like she's always remembering Bryce exists when they ask her about him.

She's like, oh, yeah. She's like, mm-hmm. So, yeah. Yeah. So, like, I don't think that, like, again, I think that they're doing a good job of doing kind of what the show requires of you, where it's like if you're in a couple with someone for six days, that's a long time in

Love Island. And they, you know, she stood on the red, they stood on the red dots. They came back together. They've now chosen each other again. But like- But there's not really been many other choices. Exactly. And I think like now that there's more bombshells and, you know, more to come, like, to me,

I don't see them like lasting till the end of the season. No, I don't think so. Although I would like to see Trinity make it. And you said Bryce has been growing on you. I feel like he's kind of like dopey and kind of cute and like anxious. Yeah, I do. I think he has been, I think his like first impression was a little weird. Like he feels out of place.

And like talking about modeling and everything. And now he's just kind of not talking about anything, which I think is better. Yeah. And him and Zach are just like browing out. That's true. Zach and Keita are like a, I feel like a under the radar good couple. Yeah, I agree.

Who do you think is going to be most tested by the three new bombshells? Oh, Kenzie and Corbin, for sure. Okay. I was going to say sincere and Melanie. Just because I think maybe not tested by the bombshells as much as tested by Melanie's behavior. I feel like the guys are going to start to pick up that Melanie is using them to like, again, sincere. Wait, also, this was my favorite part because it was the crazy. fucking thing. I think Melanie said the whole

40 episodes when she's like, I literally am starting to feel like I should change my Instagram handle to at sincerely Mel. Girl, you have to stand tent toes down on your brand. You can't be changing your handle for a man you met last week. Sincerely, putting his name in your handle.

Sincerely Mel. That is, like, that's your wedding hashtag. Yeah, like, girl, what are you talking about? She's already, she's like, we're going to be a couple influencers. But that's what I'm saying is I think she's playing up the idea that she and Sincere are this great couple. But then she's turning around and seeing a new bombshell and losing her shit. And so I do think that like, I think it's going to be a question of whether the, I mean, I think Sincere like sees that.

But whether the kind of villa as a whole clocks Melanie for like kind of the energy that she is. Well, if she gets confronted one more time, she's going to lose her mind, I think. Exactly. And I think we saw her have that crash out, and then she and Baya, like, reeled it back in. And then now I feel like the potential is there right under the surface for, like, a bigger crash out. And I feel like it's coming. Oh, totally. If sincere goes off and has spent some time with either of those girls, the new girls.

Yeah. She's going to lose her fucking mind. You know what? If he starts liking soul, Melanie's going to be like, give me the thing. scissors. I need to cut my hair. She's going to come out. Do you guys like? Do you guys like a little like a little pussy? It's like a little pussy cat. I thought I'd get a pixie. The Love Island salon. She has like a plastic scissors. We can only hope. Listen, we're rooting for you. And you know what? So we're we're recording like one day early this week. Mostly we're going to record on Wednesday.

So like truly by the next time we talk. If she spiraled out tonight. By the next time we talk. By the next time we talk. the villa. She could be in jail. There could be a volcanic eruption. Everything could blow away. Who knows? Yeah. Literally, we don't know.

They could be in a Fijian prison by the end of this week. It's crazy because it's like, we're recording every week. And it's like, we're only recording once a week. Time flies when other people are having sex. Time flies when you're watching people hang out with nothing to do. Yeah, literally. This has been so fun, though. So fun.

Listen, I am so on board. I cannot wait for a more. Casa Amor. Six more episodes, five more episodes. We'll get there. Yeah, a couple of weeks. So if it's like in two weeks, it's like 12 more episodes, but we're getting there. It's early days yet, as they would say in the villa.
