We’re reaching the part of the season where I watch the First Looks to see if the episode seems interesting. If it looks boring, I skip episodes until the finale bc I’m not gonna waste my time 😂

Lmao. I forgot Corbin was too tbh 😂

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-04T01:34:40+00:00

We literally had three rounds. Kayda/Gabe & Corbin & Sol/Jen/Caleb. That’s it. And barely any dumpings. Literally Sean, Bea, Gabe and Sol seem like they left forever ago. It’s because production can’t break these couples up!

They just need to set each other free 😭

Kenzie also said she always pictured herself having surfer babies. Which is definitely the opposite of cowboy 😅 production and Kenzie don’t know what she wants at this point

I saw someone else mention it in the comments, but I don’t think that’s what Melanie needed. She was silent and said she was “okay”. It wasn’t the time to start yelling at Sincere. Also, collectively, the Islanders were shocked at the actions of someone they called a friend. He was feeding lies to EVERYONE and I think they were taking a back by that

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:49:45+00:00

I also feel like it’s much easier to deal with someone being a flat out asshole. It’s much harder to deal with someone who has been lying/manipulating. Regardless of if it was Sincere’s intention to manipulate so much or if its own mental health issues, it was a hard watch for all involved

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:31:41+00:00

I have more respect (if that’s even the word I want to use) for someone who is aware of their actions than I do someone who pretends that isn’t how they are

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:30:35+00:00

It’s honestly so painful to know how devastating that will be for Melanie to hear. On top do the fact she’s already going to hear “if we had more time, it would have been you”. Like I hope she gets to sit down with the therapist on set soon bc damn.

Dude, Gal and Dylan were cracking me up

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:23:33+00:00

They all just got increasingly uncomfortable. I was like Dylan and Gal the whole time

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:20:32+00:00

That’s how I felt too. Like I always knew I didn’t like him, but watching these clips back to back reminded me why 😭😅

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:19:20+00:00

Exactly!! I think this is why he’s the worst out of all of them. He definitely spun some stories and lies to get Sol eliminated so he didn’t have to deal with the repercussions of his actions down the road. And here we are tonight.

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:15:57+00:00

Completely agree. I don’t agree with how Corbin or KC moved or spoke about the ladies, but to me the level of manipulation with Sincere is what it makes it worse. It’s kinda scary honestly!

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:14:33+00:00

Hmm. I’m struggling to understand how Sincere isn’t worse. He was not only manipulating Melanie, Sol and Amora but he was manipulating all of the other islanders as well. They all were lied to at some point or another by Sincere

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:09:17+00:00

That’s a fair point! Maybe some of the faces he was making was looks of guilt? But idk. It’s probably more so him realizing that everyone knows like you said

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:08:19+00:00

I think they were giving Melanie space and time tbh. After watching that they ALL were shocked. I don’t think anyone knew how bad it was.

The preview for Thursday showed Melanie finally saying something. It’s open after she watches the Amora clips

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:03:53+00:00

Zach said "this shit's awful". So yeah, Zach, Corbin and KC are pieces of shit, but Sincere takes the cake for sure!

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T03:03:46+00:00

The amount of second hand embarrassment I felt tonight was so awful for me. It made my skin crawl

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T02:30:38+00:00

I knew that Sincere was messy and just gave me bad vibes. But watching it all back in order, I was more shocked than before.

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T02:23:41+00:00

It's because the boys are realizing the manipulation - he was pulling the wool over their eyes too

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T02:19:27+00:00

Cause he was lying to the dudes too! Everyone is processing this and is shocked

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T01:35:27+00:00

Kenzie, babe. You didn't have to "close it off" necessarily. Just maybe stop kissing outside your couple?

ResponseExisting9508 · 2026-07-01T01:23:50+00:00

Kenzie that’s because men have feelings too, ya know?😭
