I’ve decided I’m downloading the app just to vote for Trina and Andre to win for the sheer hilarity. Everyone looked so confused when they were in the top three, including Trina. From Trina’s perspective, imagine spending over a month ignored and crying and everyone thinking you were a lost cause and then you win the money with a guy you met a week ago. Apparently people on Twitter are plotting the same thing. I think that would be the best ending to the season at this point. Trina convincing K-Ci to not only chug a smoothie that included coffee and string cheese, but that it was somehow her “mother's recipe“ was easily the funniest moment of the season. Also the fact that she made him carry her to the table for no reason despite that having nothing to do with the mission. Her personality really shines through without Cinco and Cash and I love it. I also enjoyed Ellie trying to get Charlie to act like a cat and him shrugging and assuming that would be something that she would just do. The music they choose at the re-coupling ceremonies is so overdramatic, it sounds like someone is about to be executed in a movie. It’s even more ridiculous because everyone left are newbies couple-wise so not only does the audience have no emotional attachment to them, but they barely have any emotional attachment to each other because none of them really know each other. At least the narrator is kind of acknowledging it. Trina is my favorite cast member, which I never thought would happen at the beginning. I am all in for her! I hope Andre reciprocates her feelings because watching her develop a crush on him is pretty cute. Jeremy inexplicably survives yet again! Twitter will be fuming. Should make for an interesting Twitter challenge next week. Forget nine lives, the man is immortal at this point.

She was great on the show before the Cinco moping! Cash seems like a super nice person and an awesome friend to have, it’s just within the context of the show her ego got a little top-heavy and she became kind of annoying and one note with her Cinco obsession. Does anyone else remember season one where original Kira went through a bunch of guys and even tried to couple up with one of the girls (which would’ve been the most interesting thing to ever happen on this ridiculously heterosexual show), only to decide that she had feelings for the original Cash after all after dumping him multiple times and then they FaceTimed and got back together? I imagine Cash/Cinco will be a similar situation. I still can’t believe Charlie actually went for Alana, because usually people on this show stick with whoever they met first if the other person in the triangle is brand new and it’s towards the end. I don’t have any rationale for Korey not picking Bailey. I think it’s obvious Olivia is more attracted to Andre, but then again I also think it’s obvious Korey is more attracted to Bailey so I think it’s just a case of forcing yourself to find comfort in the familiar rather than what you’re actually sexually attracted to because that’s too risky. What a slap in the face that Olivia said she was single the entire time before…Andre? Poor Javonny really got scammed, but also, what about all that talk about having such deep feelings for Korey. That said, Javonny is losing me with all of his petty Instagram hate comments. It’s nice that he’s loyal to his friends, but it feels very high school. That was actually really nice what Andre did for Trina, even if it was only because Korey already picked Olivia. Weirdly enough, they might have a shot at winning even if they’re not attracted to each other because Twitter seems to be fully rallying around Trina in Cash’s absence. This season is so bizarre and never really recovered after they dumped Javonny. Also, did anyone else catch that the producers made Andre sit down and have a totally not staged conversation with Will about how his marriage was totally, definitely over? Lol

I have a huge crush on Johnny. That's all. His timid "I really, really like you" in the previews...swoon. What a wholesome man. I hope Bao can ease up on her rules a little. The scene where he was happily helping her take out her hair pins was such an underrated moment of intimacy.

I wasn't aware you could inform your significant other that you'd begrudgingly allow an open relationship after they dump you, lol. I enjoy that the narrator has started poking fun at Cash's double standards. Her saying "I blew up my life for this person" about Charlie rubbed me the wrong way. Ma'am, he didn't ask you to blow up anything. He owes you nothing. He came in saying he was super into you and offered you a normal relationship. Instead, you made him an understudy in your self-created Cinco Soap Opera. Yes, he was aware of her feelings for Cinco, but there's a difference between needing a day or two to figure it out and turning your new guy into an unwilling confidant for obsessive play-by-plays of every time your old flame sneezes in your direction. If Cash "blew up her life [with Cinco]" to be with Charlie, she obviously doesn't want Charlie and can just as easily leave to rebuild with Cinco. I also hate the condescending lectures Cash gives to other women that her men are interested in. If you really think the women aren't to blame, stop implicating them and guilt tripping them! Notice she STILL references Cinco even to randoms like Alanna who barely knew him. I hope Charlie goes for Alanna. Who would've thought by the end of this season, I'd genuinely care for Trina? She seems like a nice person and great friend. I guess she's just reserved after all. Fingers crossed that K-Ci is into her. If Bailey goes for one of the new guys, that's on Korey. He's screwing it up with arguably one of the hottest girls in the Villa to try to keep juggling Olivia, which mystifies me. Olivia will probably go for the new guys anyway. Surprising rumors about one of the new guys:

True, I do love how quickly he was able to see through Cash. And him saying "Jeremy's trying to push Olivia on you [Korey] so he can go for Bailey" was hilarious.

Bailey is so hot. And even though Jeremy is trying to pull her into another bullshit triangle as the kiss of death, she seems to like Korey more. He’s nuts if he stays with Olivia and her flavor of the week mentality. She thought she was in love with Will last week! Charlie has the personality of paint drying, but Cash has developed too much of a God complex. She’s still making every conversation about Cinco even though he’s physically not even there anymore. That comment about expecting a cup of tea made me roll my eyes. I want Charlie to go for Ellie or Alana. A lot of people on Twitter are complaining he used her to get into the Villa, but I think he was genuinely all in until he realized that their entire relationship only existed to serve as a placeholder for Cinco. I love all the new women and I wish they had been allowed to come in earlier! They have so much personality, I don’t understand why they were given the graveyard shift.

Blame Cash and Cinco but especially Cash, lol. She could’ve won with Charlie if she had shown a shred of genuine interest, but she seems to be using him as an ego boost turned jealousy prop. Honestly, I’m at the point where I don’t even really enjoy them as individuals, much less couples. Josh has his moments and so does Korey, but his bewildered horny frat boy act is getting stale. You would think the guy had never seen a boob before.

Cinco eventually got Yamened after all. Too bad he developed a personality 5 mins before. Shannon realized they should've saved Javonny over Jeremy...only to save Jeremy again. Cash is getting tiresome. She wants to pursue Cinco, she doesn’t want to pursue Cinco, she wants Charlie to be patient, she wants Cinco to fight for her, she picks Charlie, she wants Cinco gone but she wants to leave with him. Twitter is starting to move away from her and towards Shannon, weirdly enough, especially after she called Will out. Will is kind of revealing himself to be a stealth douche as well. I know it’s an unpopular opinion here, but I found him annoying this episode. Why do you care so much about how they vote if you were saved? Shannon‘s execution may have been overly aggressive, but she has a point. He chose to cheat and hurt his own popularity. Taking it out on Shannon just makes him look vindictive. Who would’ve thought towards the end of all this, Shannon and Josh of all the couples would be on track to win? Not to mention still here and together to begin with. Cash was shaping up to be the next Justine, but she's fumbling it by making every second of her screen time about Cinco and especially by leading Charlie on.

Yes, if twitter has a say. People have been complaining about them being boring since the beginning and now they're calling Kyra a doormat for not pressing Will on his Flo escapades. I felt bad for Trina post-game, but she makes zero effort to interact with dudes that aren't Cinco, so she can't be that surprised none of them have friendships with her. Josh is...growing on me?

Cash’s Cinco obsession is really ruining my ability to root for her. Poor Charlie has to spend every conversation talking about fucking Cinco. And now she just seems to be using him as a prop to make Cinco jealous and punish him the way that she felt that he punished her unfairly with Trina. I think she is still going to win regardless of who she picks as long as it’s not Cinco because Twitter still generally likes her, but she’s getting progressively more irritating to watch. Korey’s sudden realization that he has feelings for Olivia came out of absolutely nowhere, even for this show. I think they are both just trying to hook up with someone from the beginning because they think that will make them a more viable couple for the money. It only took him about five seconds to totally forget about Leslie. I am genuinely concerned for Trina. I think this show is absolutely destroying her self-esteem. She came on the island thinking she was this hot commodity and now has been basically ignored, crying, and dumped the whole time. I don’t want anyone to win the money. They are all really boring and there’s no genuine couples to cheer on. It feels like everyone is just trying to fake it till the end

She's best friends with Shannon's little sister, supposedly. I was surprised Shannon seems to hate her, but I guess that explains why Genny had no qualms about initially being into Josh. The most boring man has the most power. Him perpetually "deciding" is an answer. He doesn't want anyone, just the attention of everyone chasing him.

For someone who doesn't seem that interested in dating Black men, Olivia sure loves wasting Black men's time. First stringing Javonny along for 3 weeks, then halfheartedly entertaining Kam (only to come back single...why?), and now she's suddenly into Korey? What? This is Moira all over again, but without any of the charm or entertainment. I can't believe Josh stayed loyal and Will cheated. Honestly, I would've respected Will more to pick Flo. The whole "yeah we made out several times over several days but it showed me I really want you" defense just makes him look like a garden variety horndog. Johnny sends his regards. At least Will had actual conversations with Flo. Kyra acts more and more like a high school girlfriend. Korey seems like one of those people who's only interested if the person is somewhat emotionally unavailable to him. Isabel was all in on him and laser focused, which he seemed almost bored by. Instead, he locks in on Leslie after watching her hang all over Cinco. Similarly, Cash has Charlie, who embodies everything she wanted and has been vocal about putting her first, and yet she's still angsting and waffling about Cinco. At a certain point, you need to just admit you crave toxicity. I was disappointed Cinco didn't pick Leslie to squash the triangle. He seemed way more smitten with her than in any of his dull, monotone interactions with Trina and Cash. Now of course he gets all three options to ping pong between. Ugh. Who would've guessed Shannon/Josh would be the most stable couple? This season is kinda stalling.

Marianna's/Malika's storylines are super boring because they just feel bad for themselves episode after episode. Give them something beyond self-pity.

JEREMY??????? They saved Jeremy? Why would the women do that especially - they complain about him every day! I was surprised Cash allowed Javonny to get axed. I was also surprised how emotional Olivia was seeing Javonny leave. As always, he was sweet kissing her goodbye and yelling good luck to her during his exit interview. Florita and Jeremy were reenacting The Notebook. Way to shit all over poor sobbing Korey's feelings and act like he's not even there. If he likes her that much he should've left with her - but of course now he has to find a new flavor of the week to prove he "deserves to be there." How noble. I'm kind of over Cash pursuing Cinco. It's really boring and again, she's giving him a personality he doesn't have because she's attracted to him. "You're the best person I've ever met." Really? He barely talks. I would get tired of giving him a constant sales pitch about the "explosive life" we could have together. If he's not taking you up on it, he's not that interested. Yes Trina is boring, but maybe Cash needs to just let them be boring together instead of daydreaming of a long-term future with a dude who gives her nothing. I hope the Casa Amor guys catch her eye (or anyone in the triangle) so this can end. I thought it was bizarre Trina is already contemplating moving for Cinco. Everything is just kind of flat without Javonny.

It was even more satisfying given all the shit she's been talking about stealing Will from Kyra. As if all Olivia would have to do is glance in his direction and he'd jump at the chance to be with her, because she's so much hotter and more mature than Kyra. Instead it went like this: Olivia: "I want to be with you. You're a person I could see myself with outside the Villa. I would just hate myself if I weren't 100% about my feelings." Will: "Thank you for telling me that." Also her saying "Will showed me my heart wasn't dead." Uh, pardon?? Talk about overdramatic. You just decided you were horny for him yesterday. I thought couples were announced in random order? I was surprised by Kyra/Will because twitter has some weird vendetta against them and wants to vote them out. I don't get why both the cast and fans shit on Kyra - she seems nice. I was the most baffled by Shannon/Josh making the cut. Don't put this out into the universe!! I need Javonny saved and Jeremy gone. Watching Javonny's unexpected pure delight in response to finally being friendzoned by Olivia was so wholesome. Thank you for summarizing my feelings perfectly! Javonny really is a hidden gem.

I don't understand why Cash is bothering to make another play for Cinco. He already rejected you in the exact same triangle, why volunteer for more humiliation? Especially since they have to know Casa Amor is coming. Plus she was just toying with the idea of pursuing romance with Korey, albeit probably from lack of options. Cinco seems to give her nothing, so I'm guessing her claiming he's "everything she wants in a man" is a case of projecting a narrative based on sexual attraction. Olivia and Will - huh? Have they even spoken? Honestly I think she's just bored of humoring Javonny and Slade left so she's jumping at any other perceived opportunity after the game. I don't see that actually happening, as Will doesn't seem egotistical or horny enough to be tempted away from Kyra. Although Javonny did admit to being attracted to Kyra, so maybe they could swap lol. I thought Cash laughing at the idea of Olivia kissing Will in front of Kyra was uncharacteristically mean. Operation Heart Attack? More like Operation Embarrassment - two out of three players have already had the people they're trying to steal stolen from them! Good Lord Shannon, it's a stick figure drawing. Get some actual relationship problems. Funniest part of the episode was the guys making fun of Javonny's "15ish" body count estimate. That's the only time Jeremy's ever been funny.

Well, that was the best possible outcome of last night. Javonny was saved by poor Slade's family emergency. Olivia could not seem less interested in him. All her THs are just her halfheartedly convincing herself she might like him right before every recoupling. Looks like we missed Isaiah friendzoning Cash Monday night. I know he's not the worst (JEREMY) but it still struck me as smarmy to suddenly say "We're such great FRIENDS, I really wanna be with Aimee" a day after you blathered on about being fully invested in Cash. Good for her for not throwing herself at the next best option (Wes) to save Korey. I'm grateful Isaiah didn't keep stringing her along or manipulate her with some bullshit loyalty guilt trip to save himself. I feel terrible for Cash. She's not even everyone's safety option, she's the person everyone pretends to be into until they can make a move on their actual crush, which is worse. Why is she just "the friend?" (It's colorism.) Why couldn't Isiah be genuinely into her? Why can't Korey see her as more than a friend? Why can't Javonny? Why is she always passed around and over based on who's out of options? When is it her turn to be loved? Florita and Aimee - JEREMY? You're ruining your time there and ignoring hot men who are obsessed with you for JEREMY? Is his hair emitting some type of irresistible pheromone? You're crying over this sentient claymation man? Why is Aimee suddenly pining for him? He did nothing with/for her even before the friendzone fight. And Florita, Jeremy is "a beautiful boy inside and out?" Where? Where is the beauty? I felt bad when Korey said he felt humiliated bringing Florita breakfast after Jeremy brought her coffee. Korey is boyfriend material! He looked great with his hair back. Hopefully Florita doesn't drag him back with her tears tonight, but he seems very easily manipulated. So what, we're just supposed to hope for new girls so Korey can ditch Cash, because God forbid someone see Cash romantically! Don't judge me, but I find Will...sexy? Him discussing turn ons with Kyra was funny.

I knew Isaiah was sketch, as Javonny said! He lied to Aimee about telling Cash he was still open to pursue Aimee (while telling Cash he was all in) and then acted like he would pull back from his commitment to Cash in retaliation for her being open to Wes, when we know that he had already continued to entertain Aimee on the sly. Hypocrite. At least Cash has a sense of humor about being thrown in yet another love triangle with Aimee. "It's never just me in the ring." lol But Jeremy is by far the worst. How are you gonna be annoyed at Aimee for you friendzoning her without her knowledge, denying saying it on camera and call Florita a liar to anyone that'll listen, and then still be all over Florita? I don't get Florita fawning all over a dude she knows badmouthed her, especially when she has a clearly smitten Korey in the palm of her hand and he's stated multiple times that he wouldn't even entertain anyone else. Hell, I don't even understand Jeremy as a lust object. He's just there. I guess it's just an ego thing for her. Aimee and Will are right, Korey is going to get his heart broken. Which makes me sad, because he seems like the most loyal person there. Very devoted, but also very shy. He would've also been good with Roxy. Well, Javonny predicted what's going to happen 30 seconds after the new guys got there. He's labelled the goofball, but he's very perceptive. He knows he's pretty much done after seeing Slade. He should've coupled up with Lei-Yen or Cash. Looks like Tuesday is the end for Javonny and Korey. Missing the bonus Monday episodes on P+ is so irritating. How embarrassing that Will has to lecture a group of grown men not to leave their piss all over the bathroom.

There's a vocal (but small) segment of Twitter that can't stand Kyra and liken her to Mackenzie, which I don't get. She may be slightly immature, but she seems sincere about Will and an overall nice person. I thought they were a lock for winning, but now it's looking like anyone who stays coupled with Cash will win because of her individual following. Which I guess I'm fine with, because Cash is cool and funny. I still think Isaiah is ambivalent about her and don't trust him. I wanted her to enjoy real romance and not get strategically strung along by Isaiah, as I think the cast is realizing Cash is the most popular. Javonny became super hot to me after he comforted Cash. For her, I think she's frustrated to repeatedly find herself on the losing side of an implied "looks vs. personality" contest, with the outcome being that the guys like her and probably know she's more compatible, but go for the one that they're more sexually attracted to (first Cinco with Trina and it looked like it would repeat with Isaiah/Roxy, especially with him emphasizing how much Roxy "surprised" him during the challenge). Both Cinco and Isaiah have fed Cash a bunch of lukewarm, ambiguously friend-zoning platitudes about what a good person she is. The undertone is that she's not attractive enough to compel anyone to be genuinely interested in pursuing her, which is bullshit. I don't blame her for feeling used after Cinco and to a lesser extent Isaiah kind of just fooled around with her out of opportunity or while they were waiting for their first choice to look their way. Truthfully, the cynic in me is worried he only picked Cash because Aimee's with Jeremy and Roxy was too reserved. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong and actually pursue her. Even though I wanted Isaiah to pick Cash, I felt really bad for Roxy. Lei-Yen seemed cool, she should've put time into pursuing Javonny or even Korey instead of laser focusing on the dude who just ended a messy triangle. I have a feeling Olivia is going to ditch Javonny for Slade (new southern guy), in which case I'd be interested to see if there's a romantic spark between Javonny and Cash. Let's pray Aimee leaves Jeremy for the other new guy. I cannot believe he told Florita he and Aimee were "best friends" on the night of the recoupling - and knowing she's passing up Isaiah for him! Jeremy sucks.

This expression is making me laugh and laugh. I was surprised to see Korey get all three dates, as in terms of screen time he's pretty much at Olivia's level, but then I remembered he's technically still partnered up with Trina, so I guess fans were trying to kick her off that way? lol but this episode highlighted what a nice guy he is, so I want the best for him. On the other hand, I loved the collective groan the second someone brought up Jeremy at the ladies' brunch. He sucks to the point of it being a group joke. Why hasn't Aimee ditched him yet? The exchange between Cash and Lei-Yen about Cash's hair was wholesome and it sucks Lei-Yen is going to trample that by pursuing Cinco. Talk about zero strategy - a villa full of hot dudes, it's the guys' week to choose, and you decide to throw yourself at the only dude who already has two suitors. Cash is probably screwed at this point. I want her to go for Isaiah, but I think she'll be moping over Cinco. I hope she can pull herself out of this! I want Florita to pick Korey. He deserves it, although it would be entertaining if she steals Josh from Shannon. I think Isaiah will pick Aimee or the British girl (who seems very nice and down to earth).

Yamen dumped Alana, who was Twitter's favorite in S1. (Justine was S2.) Him and whoever he picked were constantly voted down but saved by the group (though I think the girl he left Alana for was voted out by fans?? Pretty fast. So he was with a third woman) until finally he was ousted when the group wasn't given a say. Cash is this year's obvious Twitter favorite and people are already plotting to vote off Cinco and Trina if he leaves Cash, though a few Trina defenders are pointing out that she's basically doing what Justine did to Caleb and Rachel last year and Twitter rooted for Justine.

Isaiah is gorgeous! He seemed to really be impressed with Aimee's depth, so I'm surprised he seems all in on pursuing Shannon. I want Aimee to ditch Jeremy. He's a big nothing burger in terms of chemistry and personality. I hope Aimee continues pursuing Isaiah. BOO CINCO! I wish Trina were still randomly infatuated with Jeremy because I don't like this side of her, especially her claiming to care about Cash's feelings and then falling all over Cinco. I'm not a fan of Cinco anymore. If he dumps Cash, I think she'll be sent home, which is unfortunate because she's the nicest person there. I sense another Yamen scenario where fans will relentlessly try to vote him off as punishment, lol. Javonny is funny! "You grabbed me like I owed you rent." Will's unexpected devotion to Kyra remains endearing. If he can stay focused on her and Cash/Cinco implodes, they could have a shot at winning.

moved!

I actually like Kyra and Will. They're sweet together in a high school couple way. Cash has everyone's back! My fave by far. I'm not thrilled Cinco is option shopping. Josh and Shannon are that couple that you can never go out with because they're always fighting. She was begging to ditch him 3 days ago! They're both exhausting, Aimee is miles more mature than the rest of the cast.

So I may have prejudged the quartet where the ex-wife is inseminating her new wife with the ex-husband. They seem…borderline wholesome and like the healthiest of the group? I assumed the ex-wife would be pushing her ex-husband has a donor, but it just seems like they are all a big group of friends, weirdly enough. While I could’ve done without the incessant references to the husband being an insatiable fuck machine (and the fresh semen shot), they all seem very kind and self-aware. I particularly liked the ex-wife taking responsibility for her role in the marriage failing due to her partying. Just a nice, mature group of people. I bet it will be fun for the kids of all three couples growing up together. Strange, sure, but they all seem happy. Neighbor clone swap confuses me because I can’t tell any of them apart, particularly the new husband and ex-husband. The two wives looked like twins in the bath. The ex-wife should just go for the other one's ex-husband. It amuses me that the ex-wives are best friends now. I guess good for them for burying the hatchet and promoting healthy coparenting, but I found the highly homoerotic photo shoot bizarre.
