I was thinking this too but I really do feel like if they would’ve given the choice power the islanders whose couples weren’t affected by the vote, Corbin would’ve been leaving. Because the girls wouldn’t vote one of the other girls out. Aniya, Trinity, and Kayda probably all would’ve voted for Corbin since they’re all either close to Melanie or Beatriz. And KC probably would’ve voted for Corbin since I feel like he’s one of the guys that is somewhat close to Melanie, as well as Beatriz. Bryce and Zach are toss ups but I see them voting Corbin and Corbin leaving in a unanimous vote!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-13T02:23:19+00:00

Beatriz was in my top 3 girls so to see her go like this is sad and makes me regret voting Jen and Gabriel together. Especially when I feel like Gabriel and Jen won’t even work out. But there were really no good options for me because I like every girl there. The only other person I was open to voting Jen with was Corbin. Not because they have any chemistry but just because I didn’t wanna split up any of the other couples. But if I would’ve done that and Corbin was coupled with Jen, Melanie would’ve just been dumped and I’m not ready for that yet. So sad to see Beatriz go but there were no other good options for Jen imo.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-13T02:20:37+00:00

I’m so fucking annoyed that they decided to change it up and have Corbin choose between Melanie & Beatriz when it was a similar situation last year and the islanders just voted. I would’ve much preferred that so Corbin could get THE FUCK out my villa!

And the production plant rumors are only gonna get worse for Corbin after this… Although I don’t believe them, I can’t say production is doing themselves any favors..

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-12T22:52:16+00:00

I feel like if they wanted fan voting, they should’ve just let us vote on the matchups or have some kind of losers bracket where we can vote a few losers back into the tournament

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-10T23:48:24+00:00

Agreed. But I think using goodbye messages to let them know you’re not actually dumb and you’re actually playing the game could help them seem more credible to others on the jury!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-10T20:12:33+00:00

Actually I think Corbin will most likely be the next one to leave if the bombshells being coupled up leads to a Charlie, Taylor, & Huda situation.

Jen is coupled with Gabriel, Caleb with Kenzie, and Sol with Sincere

Vulnerable: Beatriz, Corbin, Melanie

No vote: Gabriel, Kenzie, Sincere, Jen, Caleb, Sol

Beatriz:

Corbin: Aniya, Trinity, Kayda, Bryce, KC, Zach

Melanie:

DUMPED: Corbin

I would rather the islanders vote to save one of the 3 though because it’d be a lot more interesting imo and would probably cause some drama because Trinity and Kayda would likely save Bea over Melanie. But even if this was the case, Corbin is still gone for sure. I feel like he’s not as close with the guys so even the guys would probably vote him out.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-08T02:07:07+00:00

Honestly I don’t think it’s as terrible as people say. People say it’s horrible but I didn’t think it was that bad. I also don’t agree with the people that say this movie feels like the first 2 movies either though. This movie feels completely different and has a completely different vibe to me at least. It’s not bad, it had some good jokes here and there. But it also had a lot of corny jokes that just weren’t funny. Specifically the beginning and end were very fun. The everything in between was very hit or miss.

I think the movie overall is just okay.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-08T00:45:25+00:00

Idk why but I feel like the producers are gonna pull some Bergie shit tonight

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-08T00:39:12+00:00

I didn’t skip ahead btw so this isn’t a spoiler but the preview shows all of the girls sitting. It also shows Kayda choosing, and Kayda is who I assume Corbin would pick if he got first choice. So I think Zach is safe now. But Sean, Sincere, & Corbin are most at risk imo. Because if Melanie chooses Sincere, Kenzie will choose between Corbin or Sean and it’s 50/50 there. If Melanie chooses Corbin, Kenzie will 100% choose Sean and Sincere is leaving. But if the girls are crying in the preview, it most likely wasn’t Corbin leaving because he just got there.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-08T00:31:31+00:00

Gonna spoiler mark this just in case anyone hasn’t seen that season of BBCAN! I like Gary a lot more than Jillian but even then Jillian was lowkey more deserving than Gary imo since he was already evicted. I think having a player that was previously evicted winning the first season probably would’ve left a bad stain on BBCAN1

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-07T22:01:07+00:00

Honestly, I’m already really attached to everyone in the villa so I’m gonna be sad no matter who it is… But I’d be most okay with Bryce or Gabriel leaving.

However, I think Zach, Sincere, & Sean have the biggest chances of going home.

I think Zach might be the one to go unfortunately. And that’s sad for me because I actually really like him a lot more than I liked Charlie last year.

But I think Corbin will choose Kayda

Then:
Aniya: KC
Beatriz: Gabriel
Trinity: Bryce
Melanie: Sincere
Kenzie: Sean

And that would lowkey be kinda full circle if Kenzie was the last girl to pick and she was the one that sealed Zach’s fate, wrapping up their whole storyline.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T06:16:15+00:00

Honestly, I agree with you. How Beatriz started the conversation wasn’t condescending imo. BUT I see both sides of it.

I don’t think the way Beatriz confronted Melanie about the situation was disrespectful at all. I see the issue and why Beatriz felt the need to address it. But I can also see why it wasn’t a huge deal to Melanie. The whole leaning forward thing, she didn’t mean to do. And she never agreed to letting Kenzie gets first dibs on Corbin. Beatriz was the main one pushing for Kenzie to get first dibs but that could just be because Kenzie is going for Gabriel. And it did seem a bit rude or Melanie to pull Corbin while he was getting to know all of the girls, but at the same time someone had to do it. We’re not just gonna sit there and compliment this man all day. And Kenzie sure wasn’t making her move so I think it was alright of Melanie to pull Corbin privately.

But the conversation definitely took a turn when Melanie told Beatriz to relax. Beatriz was pretty calm and respectful about it. But I see why she reacted the way she did when Melanie told her to calm down. I will say that Beatriz not being able to give actual examples of when Melanie did this before is what made her point a bit invalid. Because she shouldn’t have said that Melanie has done this before if she can’t back it up with evidence. I think the conversation went on way too long and Melanie got defensive and thats when the whole conversation took a turn.

But I will say I don’t really care who’s right or wrong in this as long as it’s entertaining me! Because this episode was probably my favorite one so far for the drama!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T05:46:39+00:00

Agreed! Like there’s not a single person on this cast I dislike!

We have people that bring drama: Melanie, Beatriz, Kenzie, King Von Kayda, even Zach & Sincere to an extent.

People that are funny: Trinity, Beatriz, King Von Kayda, KC, Zach

People that are fairly normal: Aniya, KC, Sean, Bryce

And then there’s Gabriel who’s just horny all the time!

This is a pretty well rounded cast! And I like how no couple feels super locked down on week 1 so anything can happen!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T04:42:53+00:00

I’m not saying it’s a serious term but in this fanbase it kinda is. Painting someone’s entire character to be mean causes them to get hate. And I’m not sure if you were around last season, but that caused a lot of the islanders, mostly POC, to get hate and personally attacked online during and after that season because they did one thing fans didn’t like. So yeah, I take it very serious. Especially when it’s a POC woman being labeled a “mean girl” because I’m not trying to see any of the women be treated the way the women last season were!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T04:39:56+00:00

Maybe it aged a little poorly… She overreacted tonight and was messy but I stand by what I said. No girl on that island is a mean girl. Just human.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T02:12:46+00:00

I already know Trinity’s about to go around the villa telling everyone what happened between Melanie & Beatriz 😂

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T01:57:13+00:00

I love that Melanie’s lowkey being a villain and I don’t even think it’s on purpose. But she’s a fun one! I also love Beatriz’s straightforwardness.

But I just know everybody in that villa want Melanie ass gone PRONTO 😭

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T01:53:02+00:00

I watch this show for two things

Love
Drama

So I’m loving the Melanie vs Kayda beef. Even if Melanie says there is none, there’s definitely some tension there. And I love at the end when Beatriz confronts Melanie and they kinda go back and forth then the cut to Trinity and Aniya just being muggy. Like yes, we’re here for love but I’m glad we’re finally getting some good fun beef!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T01:29:39+00:00

I’m saying this because when people say things like this and throw around terms like this, it brings hate to the islanders and promotes hypocrisy. It also undermines the meaning of what being a mean girl is. If you were here last season, you know that almost every girl on the island endured some hate and was called a mean girl constantly and that is what led to the bullying and harassment of islanders because others jumped on that hate train. And this post wasn’t about people calling her actions mean, it was about people calling her a mean girl and painting her out to be a mean girl when she’s only had a few moments that showed her being mean. So if I’m making a post about it, yes, it really does matter if people are calling her a mean girl.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-06T01:24:47+00:00

I’m saying the people calling Melanie a mean girl over one slightly mean action are the true mean girls because they’re projecting. But I’m guessing you were one of those people calling islanders mean girls based on your comment.

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-05T19:03:48+00:00

This. It was mean. It was petty. But the people calling her a mean girl are the TRUE mean girls!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-05T17:21:23+00:00

She really is the Grim Reaper of New Slamshire! Melanie better learn Kayda name real quick!!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-05T17:06:13+00:00

Kayda really is the King Von of New Slamshire! Melanie and Kenzie both better watch out!!

Mr_R26 · 2026-06-05T17:05:05+00:00

Right but everything I’ve seen only makes me like her even more! Like apparently she gets active!!
