Separation Anxiety

For weeks there has been non-stop speculation about where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will tie the knot. From Rhode Island to Lake Cuomo to New York City, fans and journalists have been trying to figure out where the wedding of the year will take place. With Swift and Kelce the closest thing to American royalty, leave it to The New York Times to confirm that Swift has rented out the Garden for the Fourth of July weekend, complete with permits for street closures as the city celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, Fleet Week and a World Cup Game that weekend. We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait!

Just when it didn’t seem possible that Love Island producers could sexualize the Islanders any more, they introduced another challenge that quickly divulged into a barely clothed orgy on national television. One contestant even apologized to her parents afterwards…. We’re really hoping for their sakes, they fast forwarded through the segment. Looking beyond the growing ick factor of the show, there were some incredibly interesting developments in several relationships, with a couple of the boys continuing to pine away for their girls back home. And then there’s Corbin and Kenzie, who seem very satisfied in their new couples, with poor Caleb, who once again finds himself in a love triangle with Corbin. Who will recouple with someone new, and who will stay in their original couple? We make our predictions.

So far, not a word from Peacock about the fate of bombshell Alannah Keyser, who many fans are demanding be dumped from the show after video surfaced of her singing the N-word on social media.  While she seems pleasantly coupled up with Zach, the ladies have narrowed down their Casa Amor newbies from 12 to 6, but it remains unclear if any love connections are actually forming at the Villa.  Meantime, the men are split, with half of them fully exploring and seemingly enjoying their new women. However, Bryce was moved to tears and Sincere mused about missing their ladies back home. Melanie and Aniya also admitted to missing their men, but that is setting up a hell of a mess with KC, who seems to be extremely content with his new lady Tierra.

A French journalist has been suspended for criticizing Belgian soccer star Jeremy Duko who announced he may miss a World Cup game in order to be with his wife when she gives birth to his first child. France Pierron apologized after calling childbirth a “disgusting moment where the dad is useless.” She went on to question Duko’s choice, saying his baby “will always be there.” Doku isn’t the only player having to make tough personal choices while at the World Cup: two other players had babies born during the tournament. Hear what they decided to do when they had to decide whether to play or return home.

Just when the Islanders least expect it, ‘Love Island’ producers threw in the Casa Amor twist into the villa. And while it’s always fun to see how the couples handle the temptations of a new full set of potential islanders, this was the most sexual, grotesque introduction of contestants we have ever witnessed in the franchise. Add the disgusting reaction by most of the men to the accompanying reaction from the women who were watching it all unfold live from the villa, and you have a completely changed competition with all of the couples seemingly upended. The girls went from shocked, to sad, to outraged, to ready to meet the 12 men who are headed their way to play.

Within hours of the men heading over to Casa Amor, a video emerged online, allegedly of one of the new bombshells using the N-word in a years old Snapchat post. In the unverified video, it appears 21- year-old Alannah Keyser sings the N-word while dancing inside a car during a night out in Miami.  Even before the video was released, fans of the show were commenting that Keyser made out with all of the white islanders, but refused to kiss the three black men, even telling K.C. at one point, “That’s all you get. Hand off, boy.” There are also screen shots popping up online reportedly of a Keyser TikTok comment from nearly 2 years ago where she uses a racial slur for the word “Nigerian”

So that tease about the girls and the boys getting into a big fight over dumping Gabe, wasn’t quite what ended happening. Sure they exchanged some frank words, but they all kissed and made up…. And then the kissing returned with an even grosser turn: feet kisses.  Ew. The episode ends with a potential powder keg of a situation between Aniya and K.C.

This is the evil twin of kittenfishing, globintamacy involves showing up to first dates as the authentic real you, flaws out and all. The idea is you let your goblin flag fly high and reveal your baggage from the beginning. Spawned as a reaction to all the curated content and artificial intelligence fakes, daters hope to weed out partners who would never be right for you in the long run. Dating experts have STRONG reaction to this trend that you will want to hear before giving it a try.

Two more islanders were voted out of the villa and while it might not be shocking who they sent home, it was surprising why the women chose Gabe over Caleb. It was also pretty damn satisfying to hear Sol’s reaction to the villa, calling it “couples island” rather than “love island.” Also, the episode was worth a watch solely for her confrontation with Sincere. All the drama on Thursday sets up an explosive night in Fiji tonight, with the boys outraged by the girls’ decision to dump Gabe because they claimed he was always looking for the next bombshell.

We just heard from both Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll about their impending divorce plans, which include remaining best friends, and co-parenting a child they are sill trying to have together.  Bunnie XO spoke out on her podcast, with the blessing and encouragement of Jelly Roll to shoot down cheating rumors and to explain how and why the couple is divorcing. Last night on stage, Jelly Roll talked about “his wife” saying it was the one and only time he will ever speak on the topic.
