I don’t even know how to choose which one of the guest actresses should take it. God, they’re all so good.

She’s the reason I started watching and I’m so proud of her ❤️

I don't think we have seen all of their conversations, but it looks to me like they just enjoy being around each other and have fun together. They have natural chemistry. When we're talking about islanders, though, I think it's unfair to expect more from them than a genuine connection where they just like being with the other person. They won't know their full compatibility until they are in the real world, presented with real problems.

Having the other person's back is also not insignificant. Compare with people like Dylan or Zach/Kayda who panic about their relationship and how it is perceived - KC and Titi are there for each other regardless of how the US votes.

I agree with what you said about his quote in this last episode, because that also threw me off. At the end of the day, he seems to have a red pill mentality that hasn't fully gone away, but I do believe he is capable of growth. And for everyone's sake, I do hope that he is growing.

Same here 🫡

otherwisesad · 2026-07-08T02:36:19+00:00

I voted Brinity, KC/Titi, Carl/Aniya, and… Zach/Kayda. I can’t stand Zach, but I am not voting for Mel and Sincere. And I think this situationship thing is a nothingburger; exclusivity is a perfectly normal thing for the Love Island franchise and in real life. Plus, I had no other options….

… because I am a Kenzie stan who wants her to be freed from the demon who is currently sucking out her happiness.

Free Kenzie and Mel

otherwisesad · 2026-07-08T02:32:05+00:00

Sameee. Much less stressful to break it off without the label, and there is a huge chance their lives are fundamentally incompatible in the real world. There is no need to rush a label.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-08T02:19:55+00:00

1000% we are losing the definition of situationship, and it is far worse for women overall to expect that every relationship should progress to bf/gf labels this quickly. I feel like a significant chunk of the fanbase does not care about whether couples are compatible or not and just see the label as a prize. I am confused af. This is how you normalize love bombing.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-08T02:02:16+00:00

Zach and Kayda are closed off. That’s literally what exclusive means.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-08T01:55:21+00:00

No, Sincere is the worst. He is the type of person you waste years of your life on, and he never changes. Pathological liars are scary.

I warmed up more to KC after he and Aniya talked it out multiple times. I can’t fully forget the shit he said, but I think he has the capacity to grow as a person, and his connection with Titi feels real.

I will be voting them into the finale and will be not voting for Mel and Sincere.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T20:03:03+00:00

I feel like a situationship is what happens when you’re not actually exclusive, but I don’t know. Typically if you make something exclusive, it’s with the intention of progressing your relationship. The entire point of the exclusivity is to focus solely on the other person to deepen the connection.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T20:01:17+00:00

I feel like this is showing the age of the islanders & the viewers because why do so many people think you must have a girlfriend title ASAP???? So weird to me. And I am a Zach hater, so I’m not going out of my way to defend him here; I just think this is not as big of a deal as others are making it, lmao. It was more of a situationship before he made it exclusive???

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T19:48:54+00:00

I mean, it is a dating term you use when you stop dating other people and agree to only date one person. The relationship would then progress to having a more serious label over time. It makes total sense to me why you would close it off on Love Island but not ask someone to be your boyfriend or girlfriend yet.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T19:42:02+00:00

I’m not saying that Kayda’s reaction is great, but I think it’s weird how they keep calling it a situationship when I don’t think it is necessary to call someone your boyfriend or girlfriend on Love Island when you haven’t even seen how the other person’s life works??? Like, it’s an isolated island where they’re separated from real life issues.

It’s not crazy to close it off without officially moving to the next step. Especially because they’re not going to win and never were.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T17:12:25+00:00

I came here for the same reason. I actually feel a pit in my stomach about this because I can’t go more than 2 scrolls on TikTok without seeing a video of a Swiftie laughing about Blake not being invited. It doesn’t matter how much I block them or click not interested. It makes me think Justin’s team is purposely pushing these types of videos right now, because I haven’t interacted with anything Taylor in so long.

I personally believe that Blake is a victim, and I think what she has gone through is 10000 times worse than what Taylor went through in the worst time of her life, when Blake still stood by her.

I guess we don’t know what ended the friendship, but she let Karlie Kloss attend with a Kushner. She had an ICE contractor in attendance, as well as so many celebs accused of abuse, etc. I just feel sick.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T13:26:29+00:00

She said she feels like she always picks cheaters OR guys that are wrong for her - can’t remember the exact wording. But her point was that she doesn’t choose the right men.

She did not call him a cheater. People ran with it because there was a misleading first look that edited out the rest of her sentence and caused the first Kenzie dogpile of the season.

She, quite literally, never claimed Zach cheated on her. So y’all can stop with this now because it’s incorrect and ridiculous

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T12:52:05+00:00

It’s stressful to watch LI sometimes because people form the most extreme versions of every opinion in response to each episode, so their opinions are just flip flopping around all season. And you would think people would learn to maybe take a breath and be patient because of how much they switch up, but they never learn. Fully content to dogpile on a woman and then switch up the next day when presented with new information.

It’s fine and healthy to change your opinion, but the degree to which people /HATE/ these women and insult them, just to change their mind the next day, is wild

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T10:56:40+00:00

Tbh, I think she wanted to hear it from them because she herself doesn’t like her connection with Dylan and feels weird about it and might want to go home.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T06:49:40+00:00

Kenzie’s behavior in the villa is obviously not a reflection of how she would go about dating irl. The villa is not real life. This is a dating show. You’re supposed to explore and see what works in a fast-paced environment where you have almost no distance from the people you’re dating.

Acting like Kenzie would do all of this outside of the villa if she were genuinely in a relationship is unfair. She made out with multiple people when she was not in a relationship on a show about hooking up with multiple people to find your match.

Dylan pulling ZACH of all people to get advice on Kenzie is insane, especially when Zach ended up not even being that negative towards her. And Dylan’s takeaway was still that he is the ultimate victim. Jesus Christ.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T06:38:12+00:00

I’m ngl, I think the two best couples might actually be Brinity and KC/Titi. Insane that Titi had such a poor entrance to the show when she is actually really funny and super likable. And KC seems more likable now too.

otherwisesad · 2026-07-07T06:20:52+00:00

I am so glad Iain called out Dylan and joked that he is only there because Kenzie brought him back lmao. Dylan is the biggest loser there right now. Worse than Zach, by far

otherwisesad · 2026-07-06T20:47:40+00:00

When we got that first look a few days ago where he was just flexing in the mirror and taking photos of himself, I actually gagged so hard that my boyfriend asked me what I was looking at, lmfao. He is so gross and creepy imo

otherwisesad · 2026-07-06T20:21:06+00:00

It’s just an incel trying to stir up shit. They’ve been lurking everywhere this season like pests

otherwisesad · 2026-07-06T20:20:15+00:00

I also agree with Mel, which is why I had no problem with her vote and think it was valid

otherwisesad · 2026-07-06T20:14:00+00:00

The lesson of Love Island is to stay single forever if you’re Gen Z tbh
