Famous Guys Watch ‘Love Island’ Too — Here’s What They Think of This Season

Who are you rooting for?

Trinity and Bryce are amazing, although I was really disappointed in Bryce [during Movie Night], really disappointed in him. It’s really funny to see how men just become men no matter what. And I do think that if Bryce continues his bromance with Zach and stays a teen boy, he will lose Trinity by the end, and the audience as well, and Carl and Aniya will take it. Can we talk about Carl for a second?

Please, let me hear all your Carl thoughts.

Carl is lowkey boring, which I think is his biggest crime in the house. The editors don’t want to find fun things for him to do. But I will also say this, Aniya is [boring] as well, and I think they look like the kind of boring, cozy couple I would love going on a vacation with, and I hope that she knows that that is a good thing. I think especially when you’re young, you fetishize relationships like Melanie and Sincere’s, because loud, angry passion feels like love, because that’s what we see in movies. And I actually think that what I learned is that love for me, or the best kind of love for me, has been the kind of love that’s really comfortable to the point that it’s stable, to the point that it almost feels boring.

Carl clearly doesn’t stress Aniya out the way KC did, and I’m like, That’s good, that’s a great thing! I love seeing you relax!

The other person I haven’t talked about at all is Corbin. I do like that Corbin is unabashed, he ain’t shit, and he knows he’s not shit. He is an actual, factual fuckboy, but also in an endearing way, to me. I think that there’s something really scary about KC and Sincere, and also Zach, in the sense that they don’t seem to know how nefarious they are. And he’s just like, “Yeah, no, I’m grimy.”

Who would you dump from the Island next?

I would dump KC and Titi. Oh, actually… God, this is so hard. I would actually dump Kenzie. Yeah, I would dump Kenzie and Dylan because I think KC and Titi still have more work to do. I think Kenzie’s done, I think Kenzie hoed too close to the sun. I think doing that to Jen was so shady. I just can’t.

What’s been your favorite moment of the season so far?

I would say it is a tie between the two most [scripted-seeming] moments of the season. I don’t know if she wrote this in her head beforehand to prep, or if it really came off the dome like this, but [Aniya’s] “I chose you” speech—fire. That’ll be edited for years.

And then the Build-a-Bear speech. I was like, Melanie, where did this come from? And then I would say, honorable mention because it’s not one moment, every ad lib out of Trinity’s mouth all season is why she’s the winner.
