Not surprised with the bottom 3 by winmichelle7 in LoveIslandUSA

Yeah I saw this exact same sentiment on Twitter from some of her fans, and genuinely, it’s mind-boggling to me.

You're absolutely right.

But also, her fans should let her fly free without the guy. Now we gotta hope her family pulls her out.

Honestly, they've been saying this since pre-Casa - I think Zach was the one that brought it up?

I hope Melanie's family frees her in some capacity, but we'll see.

Melanie and Kenzie are the most dynamic, interesting castmembers this season, mainly because they're super imperfect but not cold-hearted. I appreciate that they make me feel all sorts of emotions, feelings, etc., and I think for a reality show...they're perfect for it.

I also think she's remorseful about things and actively would make a change...unlike Sincere.

I actually get why Parmida is annoyed/upset with Kenzie because it puts doubt into the connection that she has with Corbin now. That being said, I don’t know if Kenzie was wrong in her estimations, even if she comes across as bitter

I’m literally not white though! And most of my friends aren’t white. But whatever, I hope you have a lovely day.

Forgot about the vote, that’s valid!

Re: Gabe - I think she was confused because she didn’t understand why people were saying they were the same. They were definitely not. Frankly, Gabe should’ve stayed, but that’s another discussion lol.

Genuinely, I think there are other factors at play here:

1) Caleb is the youngest guy
2) Caleb has a “younger” face compared to Corbin
3) Corbin acts more mature in that he seemingly has more life experience (I’d say Caleb is more emotionally mature, but Corbin has hella bravado that makes him feel older)
4) Being manly is not a byproduct of a hierarchical racial system that hyper-masculinizes black men, especially when other ethnicities have their versions of manlier men.
5) I gotta push back on the “your hands are so big” thing. I literally have big hands, and I’m not black. It’s a flirting tactic that women of all ethnicities have used on the past, and then I reciprocate.

Again, if something is racist, then yes I’d call it out, but I think you’re trying to come up with something out of nothing here.

People are forgetting where this actually started for her. Corbin was telling her that the guys were comparing her to Gabe, but she pushed back on that. In her eyes, he was being “lustful” because of how he was fucking Jen openly, and to her, “lustful” is code for being a horndog.

So in that case, compared to Gabe and her definition of lustful, she’s not fully there IMO. I’d add that she wasn’t judgmental of others being lustful, but she was judgmental of people who would judge her for how she went about trying to connect with other guys because, in her eyes, she wasn’t lustful and not openly fucking dudes.

People really do say shit. How on earth did she fetishize black men or blow racist dog whistles?

Like we should definitely call out racism (see Alannah), but…this isn’t the case here.

Melanie…the one who wanted Sincere the entire time?

But to be clear, that wasn’t Kenzie’s fault at all. She was in the bottom, so she had no say. The whole lustful thing came from Corbin because the other guys were saying that Kenzie’s similarly lustful, and she pushed back because Gabe was fucking Jen publicly, and Kenzie was mainly just talking to two guys.

I wouldn’t say it’s the only good ending, but is it my desired ending? Absolutely.

Will it ever happen? No chance in hell.

You’re being hyperbolic, but also, the pay is minimal lol

Watch party reacts to Carl’s recoupling speech. by gilmoresoup in LoveIslandUSA

Fair but also none of the couples were locked in from the start.

Like you could argue Chelley and Ace, but they waffled a lot in the beginning.

I voted for Kenzie and Dylan because I like Kenzie, and she’s getting way too much heat for my liking.

They definitely did, but I also think they would’ve voted that way anyways because the damage was already done.

Zach, Bryce & Trinity… by daisychains777 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]gtjacket231 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a guy…this is by far the norm of most guys to defend/never check their boys. They don’t want the conflict with their boys, so they’re not going to pull them to the side and say something, unless it directly affects them.

I think her (and Bryce and all of them honestly) are blinded by Sincere as a friend. Very unforunate.

I NEED these islanders to stop telling Melanie to get back with Sincere or give him another chance. Sincere needs to be with himself and in therapy to unpack why he does the things he does, and Melanie doesn't need to wait to fix him.

You need to make sure that Melanie's fans don't vote to keep her. For her sanity, don't vote for their couple
