Ariana Madix entered into her Andy Cohen era as host of the Love Island USA Season 6 reunion. The sit-down was highly anticipated after Season 6 became this summer’s must-watch TV. Fans had many questions for our Islanders as to how their relationship dynamics, both romantic and friendly, have been affected after leaving Fiji. Thankfully, Ariana was determined to get to the bottom of all of it.
Kendall and Nicole go head-to-head
Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky’s relationship has been up in the air since the Love Island USA finale. Sure, they may have exchanged “I love yous” before the show ended, but it wasn’t so easy after they stopped filming. Kendall also dealt with a very private NSFW video getting leaked online almost immediately after he left Fiji. Apparently, the horrible event led to some serious relationship problems between the finalists.
Essentially, Nicole was upset that Kendall initially lied about the origins of the video. He claimed it was sent to an ex-girlfriend from years ago, but Nicole discovered that Kendall had sent the video from his hotel room in Fiji prior to filming to a random person on a dating app. Kendall said that because of how overwhelming the situation was, he didn’t feel like he could be honest at the moment.
“I couldn’t even talk to my family about it I didn’t know what to tell you,” Kendall said. “I’ve literally never been in that position in my life.” Kendall did take accountability, apologized and essentially begged to fix things with Nicole. Even his fellow Islanders defended Kendall for trying to make things work with Nicole.
However, Nicole took the defensive route and it’s unclear if their relationship can survive. Ultimately, the Love Island USA Season 6 cast and Ariana reassured both parties that they are there to support whatever decision they make in their relationship. Based on the looks of it, reconciliation seems like a long road away.
Aaron seals his fate with Kaylor
Alongside Kendall and Nicole, Aaron Evans and Kaylor Martin’s relationship status after leaving Fiji was one of the biggest mysteries. It was shocking that they even ended up leaving the villa together after all of the drama they went through this summer. “I’m not going to shed a f*cking tear because I did that enough this summer,” Kaylor said before the start of the reunion. As any fan might bet, that wasn’t really the case.
Kaylor spent her time after filming watching the show to see everything Aaron did behind her back. Additionally, she was around her strong support system of friends who reminded her not to take nonsense from a man. Aaron decided his best course of action was to reveal to Kaylor on stage a major lie he told during filming. He basically blurted out that he and Daniela Ortiz-Rivera had “lots of romantic connections” during Casa Amor and that he put his hands down Daniela’s pants at the time.
“I can’t believe I wasted my entire f*cking summer on you, Aaron,” Kaylor said. “I never want to speak to you again. You’re disgusting.” Everyone, including the audience, had to applaud Kaylor for finally standing up for herself. Aaron tried to talk himself out of it, but Kaylor wasn’t listening. Finally, Kaylor did what everyone wanted her to do for weeks in the villa – tell Aaron off once and for all.
The Andrea of it all
After plenty of back and forth on TikTok and beyond, Andrea Carmona and Rob Rausch finally came face to face for the first time since the villa. Rob made it clear that Andrea’s over-active behavior on social media after getting voted off was his final ick, and he had no interest in pursuing things further. “It was shocking to me because the Andrea I knew wasn’t really like that. She was really calm and really put together,” Rob explained.
Andrea talked in circles trying to defend her actions. Thankfully, Leah Kateb and JaNa Craig, who was armed with a packet of receipts, weren’t letting her get away with it. They brought up all of the mean things that Andrea said about leaving upon leaving the show. Andrea tried to apologize, but Leah didn’t look like she thought it was that genuine.
As always, JaNa was the voice of reason. “Just keep Leah’s name out your mouth. Boom. Done. That’s it. Ari, next question,” JaNa said. Icon behavior.
The infamous unseen footage shown during the Love Island USA Season 6 reunion
Of course, the conversation about Andrea led to the group talking about that infamous fire pit scene when the girls sent her home. Both Leah and Liv Walker made as many jokes about the word “backseat” as they could before Ariana rolled unseen footage of the girls deliberating before the decision.
Ultimately, the footage proved that it was a group decision. The girls didn’t even consider JaNa an option for going home because as spokesperson Liv said, “She’s our mother.” Leah definitely wasn’t pushing for Andrea to go home, but she did reveal an interesting truth to the group about why she was leaning toward keeping Nicole. “Certain things that Andrea has said to the girls have made her feel like she may or may not be here for the right reasons, as in the Love Island money,” Leah whispered in the group. Now that’s some tea.
After the entire lengthy clip, the group of Islanders agreed that the massive feud regarding Andrea’s banishment was nothing but a misunderstanding. The majority of the crew was able to kiss and make up, but that’s clearly not the case for everyone. Now, it’s officially the end of an era with the wrap of Love Island USA Season 6. We already can’t wait for next summer.
Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock.
