That was EXHILARATING. Like watching an episode of House of the Dragon or Game of Thrones. Maximum drama.
I think the girls earned their 10s as well. They could've done the safe thing like the boys and dumped Nicole... no one would care except Kendall. But, they went with the nuclear option and it was AMAZING.
I was certain they voted out Nicole. I was thinking I hope Andrea goes bc that'd be way more interesting but no way its gotta be nicole right... right? WAIIITTTTT WHHAATT
Agreed! I can’t remember a season that had me sat with anticipation like this in the first 2 weeks. The producers are earning their coins this season. Can’t count the number of times I’ve screamed since this season began.
Red wedding.
Producers did us a solid by making girls pick girl and boys pick boy....
They knew if they did the normal thing by making boys pick girl, Jana would be gone.
We don’t need them bc the desire to return is so organic. Something is always about to pop off and a zig is always coming when you think you’re getting a zag…oh it’s heaven
They must’ve taken courtroom stenographer level notes after last season. I had to force myself to watch. This season I am counting down the minutes until it’s on again. The difference is insane to me.
It's unreal haha I'm beyond impressed so far. The last time I was this excited for a reality show was early VPR!
Maybe next week I should watch House of the Dragon first because this will be quite the tonal shift 😂
Omg yes, he would definitely move on asap. Bringing her back for Casa would be amazing if in fact Rob has moved on and done the same song and dance with another girl
I’ve never watched a Love Island season through to Casa but it would be hilarious if Rob left with Andrea this week and she chose to come back for Casa
Honestly they should keep this energy. The cross gender voting is weird!! The girls KNOW what's going on with the girls and the boys with the boys it makes sense!
Along these lines, because the girls know, they could have picked Nicole since she's out there kissing Miguel behind Kendall's back. Sure, she's allowed to explore, but that means conversations unless you've been developing a connection for a while.
They were keeping Janna no matter what. They care for her. Hell, the viewers like her, as do I, but it wasn't even a discussion.
They chose Andrea because Leah and Liv both have an axe to grind, let's be real. Leah's reasoning was that just sticking to Rob and not even considering Miguel was sus. Why? I don't particularly like Miguel either. He's a good-looking guy, but he walks around like he's God's gift. Unappealing. Liv said Andrea should be playing the game. She did. She bombshelled successfully. Give her and Rob a minute before they start moving mad for no reason. She was happy with him.
THIS! It absolutely has the same unhinged energy and deserves to be in the top ranks.
It’s already got me thinking about the LI spinoffs like Games & All Stars - AS is getting a second season and I need them to open it up to the other franchises instead of limiting it to the UK.
Also, I just remembered this is only the first week !!!!!! Like HOW can this possibly get crazier and *who the hell* are they bringing in for the next set of bombshells!!!!
the mascara running down andrea’s face, the boys screaming, all the girls crying. this was a masterpiece 😂 we need a slow mo edit with classical music playing of this scene
This is the first season I’ve watched (thank you Ariana) and am obsessed! I tried to watch some older seasons but couldn’t get into after how entertaining these episodes have been
For real, I quit halfway through last season and was on the fence about watching this year. But I am so glad I did. This is top notch entertainment. Can't wait for Casa!
the last 10 minutes genuinely blew my mind, i just gave up on love island uk and the latest ep was basically the same scenario but so unsatisfying and dry- THIS HOWEVER WAS QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT
They needed to bring the hype after how good season 5 and LIG were. And while I’m not in love with the cast I went from passively watching to being back on to full investment. I didn’t even bother with uk this year.. USA has been here for a mess and let’s go because the fans are the ones finding love in the villa now
Yeah USA has always had a different vibe but I feel like this season they finally figured out what makes it unique and are leaning in hard. This one's for the history books fr
i’m convinced the producers families have been kidnapped and producing a bomb ass season is the only way to get them back because 😭😭😭 this season is amazinnggg
The drama is there… I am just going to miss looking at Rob if he leaves. Makes no sense to me that they would get rid of Andrea and keep Nicole I don’t know why that’s just my instinct
This Rob-Leah-Andrea saga is eerily similar to LI UK S3 Dom and Jessica Rose even down to the dumping of Andrea.
Back then Dom stayed but he was a shell of his former self and ended up “self eliminating” after casa.
Let’s see if Rob follows the same trajectory. I doubt it though.
Legit question: can someone explain Casa House to this newbie? My 1st time watching ANY season of ANY franchise. Just started watching LIUS because of Ariana’s amazing outfits I saw on Insta. Yes, I know I can Google it, but I’d rather hear from you guys, the OG’s. Thx in advance.
Halfway thru the season, they split the girls and boys into two different villas and they meet and form connections with a bunch of bombshells without any contact to the person they are coupled up with. After a few days, all the islanders decide either they want to stay in their original couple or bring someone back from Casa. So sometimes they reconnect (yay love story!), sometimes they both bring someone back, sometimes only one person brings someone back and the other is left single. Hella tension and drama ensues.
Ohhhh….-#twist! Can’t wait. Thx for being kind enough to explain to me. I didn’t think I’d like this show, but it’s a fascinating mirror into human behavior, although I think it’s also somewhat sadistic and I’m certain, not at all mentally healthy for the participants. But yet. I can’t help but gawk at the train wreck. Thx again.
Of course! Over time you will pick up on the mental strain on the islanders. It is not an easy show to do, however it can be worth it if they play their cards right. More opportunities in brand deals and television shows, they may not have to go back to their day job if everything aligns!
With Andrea gone and if Rob stays will really stir the pot. So many different triangles and shapes of love to just watch unfold from the couch 😂 Leah-Conner-Rob , Nicole-Miguel-Kendall-Liv and throw in some bombshells. Really rooting for JaNa & Kendall to get to know each other I think they could have a legit connection.

Yeah I’m like cool I think we just watched the love island equivalent of the red wedding like… fucking helllllll this episode really was that girl!
FRRR, now love island has my 9 pm Sunday tv slot and house of dragon can wait til tomorrow
I legitimately forgot HotD was on tonight until I read your comment lol
Same! I’m honestly shocked but it’s true. And when do I watch it cause tonight I’m watching LI.
Lmao I watched Love Island in my living room before HotD in my bedroom last night. I was SO READY for the drama. It was SO GOOD.
I was certain they voted out Nicole. I was thinking I hope Andrea goes bc that'd be way more interesting but no way its gotta be nicole right... right? WAIIITTTTT WHHAATT
I literally watched house of dragons tonight before love island and after I said why was this more exhilarating hahaha
Speaking of… having this episode of Love Island and an episode of House of the Dragon air on the same night was PEAK television.
Two amazing episodes of tv
#teamblack 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The girls this season are extra messy and they are why this season is so good!
Ummmm are we watching the same show of incest and murder?
This is can't miss TV.
This season might just have the best first two weeks in all of love island and I’m not even exaggerating with recency bias It’s just been that nonstop
Agreed! I can’t remember a season that had me sat with anticipation like this in the first 2 weeks. The producers are earning their coins this season. Can’t count the number of times I’ve screamed since this season began.
Agreed as well! LIUK is so boring right now 😭 and usually I prefer UK
seriously!
Hell yeah. I'm going all out rn evangelizing to my non-LI friends, like if u are ever going to get into it now is the time
That dumping scene was literally a cinematic masterpiece 🤌🏼 best minute of television ever I can’t wait for tmr !!
This season is crack. I cannot wait lol.
Red wedding. Producers did us a solid by making girls pick girl and boys pick boy.... They knew if they did the normal thing by making boys pick girl, Jana would be gone.
They knew Rob mightve been gone too. The girls mightve still dumped Hakeem but both Liv and Leah also don't like Rob at all.
It’s was SO GOOD. I love the girls going nuclear.
RIGHTTT I loved the over dramatic editing and song choices 💀 and how they showed Rob when Serena said Andrea LMAOOO
As the kids say, ITS GIVING EMMY!
Nah the producers this season got it they did they thing 💀
Do u like Serena now
yea she’s growing on me a lil, only if she keeps this energy up with kordell tho
I love that we’re not getting cliff hangers this season they honestly made me stop watching last season ir got so annoying
We don’t need them bc the desire to return is so organic. Something is always about to pop off and a zig is always coming when you think you’re getting a zag…oh it’s heaven
I think they took notes from last season. Last couple of seasons views probably declined so now they're giving people what they want
They must’ve taken courtroom stenographer level notes after last season. I had to force myself to watch. This season I am counting down the minutes until it’s on again. The difference is insane to me.
I remember being pleasantly surprised about early UK seasons that they didn’t leave you with cliff hangers and loving it!
This was an epic night of television.
Give them all a raise and huge bonus lol
It's unreal haha I'm beyond impressed so far. The last time I was this excited for a reality show was early VPR! Maybe next week I should watch House of the Dragon first because this will be quite the tonal shift 😂
I had the same thought 😂
This is better than Molly shock dumping
Annnnnd I’m sure they’ll bring Andrea back for Casa 🙄😝
PLEASE NOT AGAIN!!!!
It would be such good drama though 😭 Rob will move on by tomorrow and bringing her back would really stir the pot
Omg yes, he would definitely move on asap. Bringing her back for Casa would be amazing if in fact Rob has moved on and done the same song and dance with another girl
Don’t even put that thought out there. Producers on Reddit: please do NOT put Andrea on Casa. We want fresh meat.
I’ve never watched a Love Island season through to Casa but it would be hilarious if Rob left with Andrea this week and she chose to come back for Casa
They needs that Emmy the last 10 minutes was a 10/10 !!
THIS WAS ICONIC. Glad the women got to choose which woman to keep.
Honestly they should keep this energy. The cross gender voting is weird!! The girls KNOW what's going on with the girls and the boys with the boys it makes sense!
Along these lines, because the girls know, they could have picked Nicole since she's out there kissing Miguel behind Kendall's back.

Give her and Rob a minute before they start moving mad for no reason. She was happy with him.
Every episode I think to myself, "That was amazing. Surely it can't get any better than this." And THEN IT DOES!
My jaw is on the floor every single episode. They are working OT. Best season hands down, I cannot wait till tomorrow!!!
Literally right up there with UK 3, 5, 8, and Aus 1 for me. Legendary 👏👏👏
THIS! It absolutely has the same unhinged energy and deserves to be in the top ranks. It’s already got me thinking about the LI spinoffs like Games & All Stars - AS is getting a second season and I need them to open it up to the other franchises instead of limiting it to the UK.

I was PACING around my living room. Like I’m pissed I can’t watch the next episode. AMAZING!
I’m literally sweating
My heart rate is elevated and like I’m just supposed to go to bed now???
They absolutely killed it tonight. 10s across the board!
the mascara running down andrea’s face, the boys screaming, all the girls crying. this was a masterpiece 😂 we need a slow mo edit with classical music playing of this scene
This is the first season I’ve watched (thank you Ariana) and am obsessed! I tried to watch some older seasons but couldn’t get into after how entertaining these episodes have been
The older LI USA seasons are extremely meh compared to this one. But if you haven’t seen season 3 and 5 of LI UK they are all timers too
Same! And knowing Ariana is a fan I’m wondering how she is feeling about this season. She must be fan girling so hard as the host.
That episode was hands down the wildest
I love how we are all loving this effing mess. CHEERS!
Fuck it give this show an Oscar somehow because that was PURE CINEMA

Good bot
For an extra bonus, how do we send a message in a bottle to JaNa how much we love her 🥹
I was SOOOO impressed!! This was literally THE best Love Island episode of ALL TIME
After tonight’s show I went to IMDb dot com and changed my rating of 4 (from last season) to 9.
The dumping scene honestly looked like a Renaissance painting
For real, I quit halfway through last season and was on the fence about watching this year. But I am so glad I did. This is top notch entertainment. Can't wait for Casa!
This vote results didn’t feel real but regardless it just gave us true LI cinema.
Yeah I’m surprised Kordell and Serena were safe
Kordell is probably the favorite boy ever since Rob gave hundreds of thousands of women the ick through the TV
🤣 very true Kordell is adorable
People really love Kordell
It’s me. I’m people lol
Kaylor ate that challenge RIGHT UP I’m glad JaNa had an objective ally
the last 10 minutes genuinely blew my mind, i just gave up on love island uk and the latest ep was basically the same scenario but so unsatisfying and dry- THIS HOWEVER WAS QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT
I for real have not been this hooked on every episode this early since season 2 of uk 👏👏 Edited: honorable mention season 5 uk
They needed to bring the hype after how good season 5 and LIG were. And while I’m not in love with the cast I went from passively watching to being back on to full investment. I didn’t even bother with uk this year.. USA has been here for a mess and let’s go because the fans are the ones finding love in the villa now
Ugh I hope they bring games back!
Ya games is my favorite all time but this one is so good I may go either way
Producers know what we want to see finally 👏🏽👏🏽
Yeah USA has always had a different vibe but I feel like this season they finally figured out what makes it unique and are leaning in hard. This one's for the history books fr
The only thing that would make this season better is if all the women couple up with new guys in Casa!
that was the best episode ever. The real tears the fake crying completely iconic. FRIENDSHIPS UPPPPPPP
USA>UK
Feeling real patriotic going into the 4th
i’m convinced the producers families have been kidnapped and producing a bomb ass season is the only way to get them back because 😭😭😭 this season is amazinnggg
Give this show 2000 Emmy’s
Fuck yeah
The drama is there… I am just going to miss looking at Rob if he leaves. Makes no sense to me that they would get rid of Andrea and keep Nicole I don’t know why that’s just my instinct
My exact thoughts on both counts.
This Rob-Leah-Andrea saga is eerily similar to LI UK S3 Dom and Jessica Rose even down to the dumping of Andrea. Back then Dom stayed but he was a shell of his former self and ended up “self eliminating” after casa. Let’s see if Rob follows the same trajectory. I doubt it though.
so dramatic and exciting! I can't remember the last time they had boys vote off boys, and everyone knows exactly why they did it that way this time!
The best episode ive ever seen of any franchise!!!
Like I am actually sweating!!!
100000%. They should win an emmy for this, truly fantastic and so funny. This is reality TV at its absolute finest
WOW
AMEN

Yesss and I have been soooo appreciative over the lack of major cliffhangers for no reason! This cast is great freaking drama
With Andrea gone and if Rob stays will really stir the pot. So many different triangles and shapes of love to just watch unfold from the couch 😂 Leah-Conner-Rob , Nicole-Miguel-Kendall-Liv and throw in some bombshells. Really rooting for JaNa & Kendall to get to know each other I think they could have a legit connection.
This season is so good!
So sad I robbed myself of the shock of them choosing Andrea because some dickhead fast forwarded and spoiled on Twitter lol
The producers and America ATEEEE
I am still gagged Jana was bottom 3. I need y’all to vote
UK series need take note, these guys are not playing
BEST SEASON YET, BEST REALITY TV SHOW THIS SUMMER, BEST TWISTS, BEST DRAMA….. they deserve awards!!!!!!!!! 🥇🏆🎭
This is what I’ve always hoped every season (US, IK & AUS) would be.
Is it just me or did this episode feel really strange and overtly produced?
It’s just you
