‘Love Island USA’ Reunion: 5 Biggest Takeaways

This summer’s season of “Love Island U.S.A.” has been the most popular of the franchise so far. And, if it feels like everyone is talking about it, it’s because they probably are — during the second week of July, this show was

, according to Luminate, an entertainment data tracking service. That means it outranked “The Bear.”

Because of the season’s popularity, it made sense for the show to have its first ever reunion special. Hosted by Ariana Madix, whose training included being grilled by Andy Cohen during her many “Vanderpump Rules” reunions, the show featured 25 Islanders — both OGs and Casa Amor — discussing not only what went on during the season but also all the messy drama that has unfolded on social media in the weeks after the show aired.

Here are the five biggest takeaways from the reunion.

Full footage of the firepit vote between Serena Page, Olivia Walker, Leah Kateb and Kaylor Martin is revealed.

One of the biggest and longest running dramas in the villa this season had to do with the dumping of Andrea Carmona. At the time, Carmona was coupled up with Rob Rausch, who had just gotten out of a couple with Leah Kateb.

A handful of the women in the villa had to decide whom to dump between Carmona, Nicole Jacky or JaNa Craig.

The decision to send Carmona home caused many fights, including one during which Martin and Walker told Rausch that Kateb had been the one pushing to send Carmona home — and this information discouraged Rausch from recoupling with Kateb. Kateb maintained that she “tried to take a back seat” in the decision making.

Throughout and following the season, viewers asked on social media why the show didn’t just air the entire unedited footage of the four women making the decision, instead of allowing a seemingly endless “he-said-she-said.”

At the reunion, they let us see: a 16 minute clip (taking up roughly a fifth of the running time) confirmed that while Kateb didn’t push to send Carmona home, she supplied reasons for her to go home instead of Jacky.

Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington’s relationship is rocky.

Shortly after the show wrapped, a ********* graphic video of Kendall Washington was leaked online.

Nicole Jacky, who had been coupled up with Washington for most of the season, said that she had asked Washington when the video was taken and that he told her it was filmed years ago with a girlfriend whom he had trusted. Washington later admitted that the video was actually taken in the hotel right before he left to film “Love Island” and that he had just met the woman on a dating app.

During the reunion, Jacky stressed the importance she had placed on honesty, but the rest of the Islanders mostly came to Washington’s defense, explaining that if they were in a similarly embarrassing situation, it would be hard to be honest and find the right words while navigating the stress of leaving the Villa.

Kaylor Martin confronts Aaron Evans about lying

Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans were coupled up for the entirety of this season, but things got bumpy when Casa Amor opened and Evans formed a connection with Daniela Ortiz Rivera. Though Evans didn’t bring Martin back from Casa Amor, she was upset at the level of intimacy that Evans and Rivera had shared.

The two were able to work through it and left the villa in a relationship after being dumped from the island in the season’s penultimate episode. Things turned when Martin watched the show, specifically the Casa Amor episodes. Shortly after that, Evans’s grandfather passed away and Evans accused Martin of not being supportive during the grieving ******* — citing specifically an episode of the

they had filmed the same day Evans’s grandfather *****, in which Martin was harsh. They broke things off shortly after.

At the reunion, Evans admitted that he had been lying to Martin the whole time and that he had actually gone further with Rivera in Casa Amor than he had said. Martin asked him why didn’t tell her this when they had been together two days earlier, and he said it hadn’t felt like the right time.

Martin said that Evans had been love ******** her and asked him to leave her alone.

Rob Rausch, who had a bromance with Evans during the season, came to his defense, saying, “He’s just an ******, and I love him, and he struggle. He’s got problems, he’s not perfect — but he’s not a horrible person.”

All four of the final couples are officially dating

Serena Page and Kordell Beckham, Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, JaNa Craig and Rodriguez — the three couples who took the top three spots at the end of the show all shared that they had become official.

Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington — who came in fourth — said that despite their struggles since leaving the villa, they were still together and trying to make things work.

Kordell Beckham got his Cheez-Its deal

Not only did Kordell Beckham get a happy ending as the winner of “Love Island,” he also snagged his dream brand deal.

In a serious moment of the show that later became a joke, footage was shown at the “Love Island” movie night of Serena Page telling Leah Kateb that she didn’t think Beckham was ambitious enough to be the man for her. She told Kateb that when she asked Beckham what he wanted to do with his career, he said he wanted to do influencing and brand deals, and when she followed up to ask what brand, he said Cheez-Its.

Well now, Beckham’s face is on a box of the cheese crackers and he is living out his dreams.
