What Happened on Summer Love Island 2023 Last Night? Episode 2 Recap

We may only be two episodes deep into summer Love Island, but the behavior of some Islanders has us scratching our heads. There are cocky boys, and signs of a possessive personality. Red flags are already starting to show. Here’s what happened on Love Island 2023 last night, and our full Episode 2 recap…

Zachariah gets to know the girls

Upon his arrival, the first Bombshell of the series, Zachariah, pulled the five girls for a private chat. He told them he had been single for almost four years. Ella said in a confessional that she was intrigued. He wasn’t her usual type, but there was something about him when he started talking. Zach definitely has some sort of swag, but he also feels a little nervous.

When he goes off to meet the boys for the first time, the girls discuss Zach’s “seasoning.” He’s a little spicy, and some of the ladies are into that. Jess meanwhile, takes another opportunity to throw George under the bus. The public may have put them together, but he is “too nice” for her. As they chat, Mitchel senses his partner Molly is getting cold. He takes off his jacket and brings it over for her. “Take notes!” the other girls shout towards the guys.

Later on, Zach speaks to Catherine one on one, now that she’s feeling better. She tells him he has “spice.” He returns the favor by naming her as one of his top three girls based on first impressions, alongside Ella and Ruchee. Jess may be upset not to be among this trio, as she describes the new arrival as “pretty handsome” and “chilled out.”

As everyone heads to bed, Molly and Mitchel enjoy a sweet goodnight kiss. She asks if she can spoon him, and his face lights up like a Christmas tree. It was exactly the position he wanted to be in, per an earlier conversation with the other boys.

Judgement Day

Zach reminds everyone he has all the power at tonight’s Firepit ceremony. Before then, however, there’s plenty of time for grafting. Zach won’t tell the boys who he has his eye on, as he wants to “keep my cards close to my chest.” Fair enough, he’s playing the game. So long as he keeps the audience up to speed.

Molly is pulled for a chat by Zach, who she thinks is “mature” and “very zen.” So zen in fact, that she couldn’t imagine enjoying a long conversation for over an hour with him. They’re getting along fine, but they don’t seem like a match.

Catherine gets some time with Zach again, and tells him she has caught him giving her the eye. “I feel like with you it’s very easy,” she says. “I don’t feel forced. It feels very chill.” Zach agrees, and while he is usually a “slow burner,” he feels that on Love Island, you “do need to move at a faster pace than you’re used to.”

Knowing his time with Jess has already come to an end, George pulls Molly for a chat. Unfortunately for him, it’s about as awkward as all of his initial exchanges have been. He has first elimination written all over him.

Later by the pool, Tyrique and Jess get some alone time. “Today I looked, you made me look,” he tells her. Could there be a spark here? “Made you look, made you stare … made you change your type,” Jess jokes. Not quite a rhyme that she was going for, but it got the message across.

Telling Tales

The Islanders leave the villa for their first official challenge of the series: Telling Tales. Mitchel seems nervous. “It’s just a game,” he repeats, before the challenge has even started. As the task is set to reveal some secrets about the contestants, perhaps he should be worried.

First up, the guys get to expose some of the girls’ secrets. Ella went through her ex’s phone when he was sleeping, because he was “moving shady.” Jess lied to her mother while they were on vacation about getting her nipple pierced. Molly used a friend’s handbag to unblock a toilet. Relatively tame.

Catherine got the crappy end of the stick, when it was revealed she once kissed five different guys on the same night. Ruchee also showed her traditional side, as one of her biggest red flags is a boy who wants to split the bill on a first date. It’s 2023, Ruchee!

As part of the challenge, the boys got to kiss the girls that they thought the secret was aligned with. This gave Zach the opportunity to play a spot of tonsil tennis with Catherine. She described it as a “good kiss,” and André – who she is currently coupled up with – clearly felt threatened.

Then came time for the boys to get exposed. Mitchel’s secret was first up, and Molly said his admission “really boiled my blood.” He was seeing three girls at the same time. Not a great look, Mitch!

Mehdi unknowingly flirted with a mother and her daughter on the same night, while André’s biggest fantasy is to have sex with two MILFs. Zach ghosted a girl by lying that his phone had broken, but Tyrique got the fury of the ladies when he admitted to stopping keeping track of how many women he had slept with when he passed 100.

“Pulling and shagging’s all I know innit?” he joked. Ella wasn’t impressed at all. “I don’t like that.” Oh dear.

Back at the villa, it’s time for Zach’s decision

Image: ITV

Tyrique comes off terribly when he compares having sex with over 100 women to Catherine snogging a few guys on a night out. Mitchel also gets a bit tongue tied when he says he will give Molly “the benefit of the doubt.” Um?

Some final chats take place before Zach’s big decision. Mitch wants to explain himself to Molly. He claims that he “was seeing one girl, then stopped talking to them.” He says he was completely single and it wasn’t like he cheated. Still, he says it was the “worst thing I’ve ever done,” and it didn’t make him feel good at all. Hopefully these two can move forward, as they seem like a great match!

Catherine has another chat with Zach, and André doesn’t like it. So much so, that he steals her away from the conversation. “You got a little bit territorial there didn’t you?” Catherine says to Dré. “You’re too much.” She later tells the girls the same thing: “Being territorial does give me a little bit of an ick.”

As everyone heads to the Firepit, all eyes are on Zachariah.

Speaking about the girl he has chosen, he explains: “The conversations we have had have been very easy; they felt very natural – and she’s also a very beautiful person.” He then steals Catherine away from André, leaving the single boy vulnerable. Cut to credits!

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

Drag Race Mexico Trailer Promises Some Stunning Looks

Werk, werk, werk, werk. RuPaul’s Drag Race is continuing its reach and its reign. Where are they coming to next? Viva la Mexico! Joining UK, Thailand, Canada, the list goes on in the international editions – Drag Race México will be showcasing us the best of the best in the ever-growing franchise. 11 contestants are set to compete and fans are more than a little excited about the looks, the contestants, the judges, and notably, the budget.

We have glitz, glam, structure, and dare I say, pinstripes. It is Alexander McQueen meets Miuglier meets Balmain. And maybe even a little Guopei. And all the performers are here to slay. Needless to say, this season is going to be lit, and it’s going to light up the stage. And speaking of the stage, fans are impressed, and as equally impressed with the Werkroom. They are saying that Drag Race Mexico got the budget it deserves.

Who now?

What are the contestants saying? Everything. One admittedly said, “It feels like an orgasm to be on Drag Race.” No kidding. Another is over the moon to be there adding, “I’m ecstatic. I don’t know what’s going to happen.” You and me both. But don’t think they aren’t ready to play. With a killer rainbow gem cap, another states, “May the Hunger Games begin. And I will not give up.”

The judging panel also looks fierce, and quite diverse. Valentina (who has appeared in two seasons of Drag Race) and Lolita Banana (who appeared on Drag Race France) with “o-kaaaay, next” are featured to bring the heat to judging.

Watch Drag Race México Thursday, June 22 on MTV LA and Paramount+ Mexico in Mexico and Latin America. It’s also available to stream via WOW Presents Plus worldwide, excluding Mexico.

Gary King Or Colin MacRae? Daisy Kelliher Makes Her Choice

Daisy Kelliher has her pick of male castmates on board Parsifal III. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht stew always had the eye of Gary King, but never indulged his advances. Except for a drunken kiss in the hot-tub. At least, nothing more than that happened on camera. But as the mid-season trailer teased, the two may have hooked up between charter seasons.

Two seasons of this flirtatious banter, and now there is a new element to add. Colin MacRae is single for the first time during charter season. And he has his sights set on Daisy as well. The new duo just kissed on a recent episode. The department heads on Parsifal III are all in a messy love triangle. And there is more drama to come.

Daisy refused to name the better lover

Andy Cohen played off this dynamic when Daisy appeared on a recent Watch What Happens Live. Ladies choice. The Bravo executive had her play Stuck in the Middle With Crew during which she picked either Gary or Colin to answer a series of questions.

It started off innocent enough. Colin has the better man bun. He’s more of a gentleman, according to Daisy.

Gary smells better and is more fun on crew nights out. That comes with the territory of handling his booze better. The First Mate took that title as well.

For the less innocent questions, Daisy weasled out of answering by naming deck hand Alex Propson, who was on WWHL at the same time. The chief stew answered Alex when asked who was the better kisser and who could she see herself settling down with.

There was one question that Daisy completely side-stepped. After Andy asked if Colin or Gary was the better lover, she replied, “not answering that.” With the mid-season trailer hinting that the Irish native had sex with Gary, that was a total trick question.

Finally, a very foreshadowing answer that Colin has more to admit to during the reunion. What could Daisy be talking about? The trailer would have us believe that she was hiding the fact that she had slept with Gary. Very intriguing.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 Reunion Part 2 Recap: Luis Ruelas and Bo Dietl Will Be Teresa Giudice’s Downfall

It’s hard to believe we’re only through with two out of three reunion episodes for Real Housewives of New Jersey. Somehow, it feels like this trainwreck should’ve crashed by now. The entirety of Season 13 either feels like the same episode on a loop. We’re getting Teresa Giudice’s delusion, Luis Ruelas’s red flag of a face, and the Gorgas desperately trying to clutch onto a Bravo contract every week. At this point, make it stop.

Bravo premiered the second episode of the RHONJ reunion which was just as vitriolic as the first. Even so, we still have an entire episode featuring the RHONJ HouseHusbands to sort through. It’s been a long and messy season that’s perfectly exemplified by this trainwreck of a reunion. Truly, you have to feel for Andy Cohen for trying to referee this mess. Here are five of the main takeaways from Part 2 of the RHONJ Season 13 reunion.

Melissa and Tre are off the rails

Melissa Gorga and Teresa spend so much time at the reunion exchanging back-and-forth digs that it’s barely worth it to unpack it all. We picked up the episode with Tre doubling down that she believes that Joe Gorga and MelGo were, somehow, responsible for her going to jail. Andy, correctly, pointed out that Joe Giudice is really the one to blame, but have we ever known Tre to listen? It got nasty with MelGo calling out Tre for committing mortgage fraud and reading alleged texts from Jacqueline Laurita.

Dolores Catania’s reaction was the only appropriate one. “Sleep with one eye open,” Dolo told MelGo about messing with Jacqueline. “This is bad for you, Melissa.”

Tre’s go-to line at the reunion, as usual, is to call out Melissa for needing her for a storyline. Somehow, it turns into the two sisters-in-law telling one another to shove the “namaste” up their “a-holes,” which just epitomizes how petty this is. Melissa also tried to make a moment out of calling Luis the new “b-tch boy” for wanting to be a part of the show’s drama. Truly, I couldn’t be more bored with the Melissa and Teresa of it all and this reunion episode solidified that.

BravoLuver1234 has entered the chat

Newbie Rachel Fuda had quite a segment in this part of the reunion. She talked about adopting her stepchild and how the process was finally complete. Andy brought up that her son Jayden’s birth mother had been speaking to the press, and Rachel dropped the bomb that Luis and Bo Dietl (Luis’s private investigator) were the ones to track her down. It’s a topic that’s sure to be discussed more once a, newly hairless, John Fuda gets on stage, but it’s clear the Fudas have joined team #CancelLuis.

Rachel and Jennifer Aydin also had a fun little exchange about the nose job shade. Now this, my friends, is the drama that Real Housewives is all about. It comes out that Rachel claimed to Jennifer that, before being cast, she didn’t watch much of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jennifer, on the other hand, screams out BravoLuver1234 — Rachel’s alleged fake Instagram account for following all things Bravo.

“She’ll run out of gas in a second,” Andy said about Jennifer when Rachel tried to make the host make Mrs. Aydin stop talking. Jennifer is an icon, a legend, and my problematic fav. Rachel is also lowkey iconic for having a burner account for Bravo. I doubt she’s the only star to do so.

It’s hard not to feel Andy Cohen’s pain

The biggest takeaway from Part 2 of the reunion is that Andy Cohen is tired. He’s sick of playing therapist to Teresa and the Gorgas when nothing ever changes. Andy repeatedly has to scream over the women, who are screaming over one another, in an attempt to steer the conversation. “You guys are like f–king kindergarteners,” Andy said. “You don’t grow, you don’t evolve.” No lies were spoken.

At the end of the episode, Andy doesn’t even get a break. He has to prepare for the husbands to come out, which will undoubtedly add more fuel to the fire. He approached both Luis and Joe Gorga separately before they got on stage to beg them not to get into a physical fight. “I’m the first line in there and I’m going to get the sh-t beaten out of me,” Andy said to Luis about a potential fight. The only time Andy smiled was when Jennifer Fessler, one of the “nice Jewish girls” on the show, told her story about James Gandolfini. This man needs a long vacation after this reunion.

Danielle was bamboozled by a Boogawolf

The rumor started by Margaret Josephs’s old friend Laura Marasca Jensen involving MelGo allegedly cheating had to be discussed. Marge got into the breakdown of her friendship with Laura, which she claimed had to do with the show. The biggest bomb dropped by Marge was that Jennifer had already told Melissa the cheating rumor long before filming. That means that she allowed Danielle Cabral to believe that Melissa had no idea and that she had a responsibility to confront her about the rumor on camera. Danielle, while on stage, was in a state of shock.

Jennifer Aydin gave a half-hearted apology if it “came across” that she and Tre had set up Danielle. Danielle was firm in saying she didn’t feel like she was set up. “I choose to believe that I’m nobody’s pawn,” she proclaimed. However, when she was backstage speaking to her husband, her microphone caught her whispering the exact opposite. “They set me up,” she said defeated. I smell trouble amongst Danielle and her new RHONJ friends next season, and boy am I welcoming whatever new, light-hearted drama this show has to throw at us.

The alleged evil of Luis and Bo Dietl

We’ll have to wait until next week to see Luis attempt to explain his reasoning for hiring a private investigator to dig up dirt on his friends. However, his co-stars had plenty to say about it beforehand. Tre tried to deflect the topic back onto Margaret, who often is brought gossip from various sources. In general, Tre ended up looking worse by saying Marge can’t afford to hire a private investigator to do her digging like her new husband. “So all you have to do is have money to be more evil?” Melissa explained. Chills.

A lot of accusations were thrown in Luis’s way in this episode aside from the Fuda family drama. Margaret brought receipts that allegedly proved Luis had called her child at work and threatened him over the phone. Frank Catania also claimed that Luis shut down the company that little Frankie was working for and ghosted their son without a job. Luis doesn’t have many people riding for him besides Tre. Even Dolores was scared of all the accusations being thrown around and asked to be removed from the Bo Dietl narrative. Smart woman.

“There have been such angry angry arguments in this show and it has never ever gotten to the point it’s gotten to right now,” Frank Sr. explained backstage. “The only thing different is Luis.” Gear up, Jerseyheads, we only have one more week of this chaos to make it through.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 concludes Tuesday, June 13 at 8/7c on Bravo.
