Love Island USA Season 8 is officially underway, and we have THOUGHTS.
After missing Week 1 because of our annual camping trip (aka Friendship Island), we're finally caught up and ready to dive into all the chaos from the first week and a half of the season. We're talking favorite couples, favorite Islanders, biggest red flags, hottest takes, and breaking down every major couple in the villa.
From Melanie & Sincere's emotional roller coaster, to Kenzie searching for her cowboy, to Gabriel's pick up lines, we're covering all the drama, flirting, bombshells, and questionable decisions from Week 2.
Plus, we share reactions from our Love Island watch parties in Athens, Georgia and answer some of the same questions we've been asking viewers all week.
