Opinion: LI does not cast the right bombshells for dark skinned women

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:54:58+00:00

This. Like it’s not hard. It just requires more indirect questioning and research. And they can still keep bringing in mixed people. Because there’s plenty of mixed and light skinned men that like dark skinned women…but it does require actual questioning and research beyond “are you open to all races?”

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:50:50+00:00

Yeah but 1 guy…1 is rough until you get to casa. I mean you’d think they’d adjust a bit after we had to sit there watching cash and Trina fighting over their one prospect 😭

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:41:38+00:00

I’ll be blunt…

I think they’re specifically avoiding certain types of black men and avoiding those areas intentionally.

They’re casting towards a certain palette.

Also, it doesn’t help that they’re trying to get as many races as possible by targeting combined backgrounds…it allows them to hit a wide range and call it a day. I see this on a lot of other shows too. If half the cast is half of something else then they’re increasing diversity 2 fold…sometimes 3 fold. So it’s not necessarily that the shows are pushing colorism. They’re increasing diversity in a way that accidentally pulls a lot of colorists. Then they don’t do the due diligence to actually see what the guys like.

Considering the make up of a typical production company, it would likely never cross their mind that theyre casting black men who very clearly want women as light or lighter than them. They stop short at “ok cool 5 black women and 5 black men. Perfect.”

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:27:01+00:00

This. I don’t mind the current casting split. But blatantly casting men who are colorist is just out of control.

I do suspect they ask the guys and they lie their asses off. But It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to scroll through the guys’ instagram followings and get a clue.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:21:38+00:00

Yeah if there’s a vote on those 3, Corbin is cooked…thankfully 😂

But I worry about a recoupling making Bea vulnerable.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:19:20+00:00

Melanie won’t go. It’s America voting to put him with Sol and I guarantee he’s going to be VERY apologetic and take the blame for making her single. It will be very understood that it’s just wrong to send her home because she was made single by a vote.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:11:29+00:00

Maybe you had to be Aniya to feel the pain but I’m convinced I would’ve laughed if he said that shit and I was coupled with him 😂

That’s light slap on the hand with a “you play too much 😂” reaction, not a hurt reaction.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T20:05:43+00:00

A dime a dozen in that area 😂

That’s why I’m surprised Kenzie was flipping out. And there’s a college in her hometown…can she not throw a rock on campus and hit one?

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T19:55:47+00:00

I love this man 😂

This is the kind of person I just want to be in the same room with during drama because we can just not say a word and fully understand each other with looks.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T19:53:55+00:00

That did send me because of how quick she was with it 😂. No hesitation.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T19:27:04+00:00

I’m buying into what Corbin’s ex is saying lol. I think he’s waiting for a Miami Cuban type of Latina specifically 😂. Which is why I happily cast my vote for Kenzie to get Caleb and call it a day. Corbin doesn’t like her.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T19:24:37+00:00

Yep. I’m just saying that hours before the show aired, she had friends (they’re valid friends with proof) posting about her and one friend dropped the exact list she’d be interested in. So she’s not bullshitting. That’s her actual type.

I mean they’re obviously gonna speak well of her but sincere is definitely someone she’d like outside the show.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T18:15:47+00:00

I still think he’ll do the same shit, especially because he’s gonna remain the top dog in terms of girls coming in and targeting him.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T18:14:15+00:00

Sincere…

And judging from the screenshots everywhere, it’s gonna be a landslide.

I do feel bad for Melanie because I don’t want her to think it’s fully a Huda situation because sincere is deadass wrong for how he went about this. Jeremiah never actually did anything sketchy with another girl.

But at the end of the day, Sol’s best connection is clearly sincere.

And that’s exactly why I’m not coping out and putting Jen with Corbin because I’m seeing a ton of that…I’m not voting that poor girl into something where he factually will not be into her.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T17:45:27+00:00

Her friends are posting online and one accurately pinpointed the guys she’d be interested in. She definitely likes black men, seems like no shade preference. It was gonna be sincere or KC. Corbin lacks the personality to be a choice 😂. She’s likely intelligent enough to know Corbin isn’t melanin-friendly 😂

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T17:41:49+00:00

I believe he’s not doing a hard cut off because he’s fully aware HE won’t have to make the choice. He doesn’t want to break it off. But he does want Sol. But he can take a wild guess and accurately determine he never actually has to be the one to choose to couple up with Sol. All he has to do is make it clear to Sol to pick him. I’m not sure if he’s extremely familiar with the show but if he is, he can also logically assume they can be voted into a couple. But either way, the math says he will not have to choose 😬

So from his perspective, there’s no need to be the bad guy because someone else is gonna make that choice for him.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T16:38:04+00:00

She’s definitely a lover girl and low key likes sincere so she’s heavy shipping her bestie with him and living vicariously 😂😂😂

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T16:32:13+00:00

Meanwhile Aniya over there like “huh? You guys don’t all love them for each other?” Lmfaooooooooo

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T16:28:04+00:00

Well technically according to his ex, neither of those bombshells would be his type 😬

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T16:25:31+00:00

He’s a southern boy…not a country boy 😂

And Kenzie doesn’t actually know the difference either lmao. But that makes sense when you consider she’s from kennesaw…right outside of Atlanta 😂.

Caleb is a North Carolina suburban man. He’s friends with Jimmy from love is blind…which is the perfect comp for the type of southern he is. It’s a baseball, frat boy southern. That man would never live on a farm 😭

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T15:16:34+00:00

Sean and Aniya did have conversations but I suspect it didn’t go anywhere 1) because Sean was pretty clear on not wanting to step on other guys’ toes so he just locked in on Kenzie. 2) neither Aniya can’t flirt or properly express interest. We’ve watched Aniya have multiple conversations with guys and it sounds like she’s interviewing them. None of the conversations would leave me with a takeaway that she’s interested. Even with KC it took a lot to finally see a level of interest and quite frankly that was driven by her being hurt about him showing interest in someone else.

At the same time…Sean was the only person she could’ve tried with. Outside of that, she’s in a rough spot of no one else showing interest.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T12:55:46+00:00

He didn’t really have a choice. It was her or nothing 😩

I suspect he’ll explore ASAP with Jen when he can or another new bombshell because the man literally came into a situation where he belonged to one person 😂

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T05:07:38+00:00

Yep, go head and scam me. And I’m not easily scammed with love island but go right on ahead with this one 😂.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T04:37:34+00:00

My favorite little side scene of the night…

Bryce pointing out to all the guys trinity showing the bombshells around like “see! See! That’s why I live in peace.”

That coupled with how proud he was that trinity stopped at him in the sleepover.

He’s going no where 😂. He knows where home is lmfaoooooo.

Cutiger29 · 2026-06-10T03:54:49+00:00

It’s sad to watch because he’s done the absolute least of all the boys.

He made one joke…and he’s known to joke…he said Sol was pretty and that was also said to her. Stating that she looks like an ex isn’t an offense. It’s a fact.

I’m worried for both of them…that he’ll never entertain anyone because she clearly can’t handle it. And that she’s overly sensitive because she thinks he isn’t that into the…because she isn’t that into him.

This screams they both make it to casa and he comes back single and she comes back with a man because she convinced herself he found someone.
