“Episode 22 Was a Love Island Soap Opera & Olandria Had Time Today”
LINK: Read the full mess here on Reality Rundown
If you thought Episode 22 of Love Island USA was going to be cute and calm? Babyyyyy—this was a whole novela. Folks are kissing, crying, crashing out, and getting cooked in broad daylight. Let’s get into this spicy, shady, dramatic rollercoaster, because the villa turned into Bad Girls Club: Coupled Edition real fast.
🥴 Nic had Olandria’s "chocolate" on his face like it was Fenty Beauty in shade messy.
Olandria clocked it quick and said, “I don’t trust these new floozies or these boys. AND my girl Cierra? She’s gonna crash out when she finds out!”
Then she left Soul Ties like it was a haunted house.
PePe walked in confused like: “Da fuq y’all was doing in there?” Sir, you know.
🫱 Elaborate handshakes > emotional connections?
Taylor and Nic pulled out a Step Up 3D handshake like they been besties since daycare.
Olandria, clearly triggered: “I don’t even have a handshake with anybody…”
Taylor, throwing a grenade with a smile: “Maybe ‘cause nobody likes you like that! AGHHHH!” 🚩
😩 Huda said, “Get a submissive baddie then.”
She was not here for JD’s critique of her spicy kiss.
JD: “That kiss was dominant.”
Huda: “Then go find a soft bish. I’m not changing.” Boom. Mic drop.
🧍♂️Ace trauma dumped mid-flirt.
CoCo: “Are you jealous or nah?”
Ace: “Not really… but girls left me for taller dudes and now I don’t trust nobody.”
CoCo, PePe, Gracyn: 🧍🏽♀️🧍🏽♂️🧍🏽♀️ stiff silence
Cierra’s gut instinct was loud.
Cierra: “I feel in my soul Nic is acting up…”
And he WAS. With your homegirl. On TV. With "chocolate" receipts.
🎬 Meanwhile, Zac & Iris were sleepwalking through the episode.
Did they even film today? They gave ghost energy.
🍫 Nic: “The kiss was lit but it’s giving friend zone.”
Olandria: “No lies detected. The friend zone has logged in.”
🚩🚩🚩 Austin & Jaden trauma bonded in the weirdest convo ever.
Austin: “I had open heart suuuurgery…”
Jaden: “I got diabetes… I’ll pass out…”
Austin: “Damn. I’d be passin’ out like erryday. I’m not responsible with ANYTHING.”
Yeah… that ain’t cute.
😗 Huda was plotting and Chris called her a baddie.
Chris: “Chelley might spin the block for Ace, so hey… Huda, what’s good?”
🧱 Olandria vs. Clarke
Clarke: “I like Taylor. I’m doing what’s best for me.”
Olandria: “You’re a TEST! You hear me? A TEST, BISH!”
It was giving confessionals and confrontation.
Olandria: “I kissed Nic. It was… mid. I’m hot. Get me a fan.”
Taylor: “Bet. You’re cooked.”
Fan not included.
💥 RECOUPLING CHAOS
Ariana stirred the pot like a seasoned villain.
Cierra cried. Amaya screamed. Zak caught the ick—again.
Then Nic walked in with Olandria and Cierra screamed, “PERIODT!” while Elan just whispered, “I’m fu**ed.”
And now the eliminations, honey…
JD, Iris, Zac, CoCo, Elan—everyone’s spots were looking real shaky.
Chelley got Ace.
Cierra got Nic (but Nic said he still “open”… oh really?).
Taylor picked Clarke (and Amaya had a whole meltdown on the floor).
Olandria looked like she wanted to throw hands AND tears.
THE VILLA’S VERDICT?
Save Elan? Cool.
Save Olandria? Nic said “HELL NAW y’all not sending her home.”
Even PePe hit us with a “PERIODT.”
Taylor eyerolled so hard her lashes filed for divorce.
Olandria in her confessional:
“I’m happy they believe a bish deserves a shot at love!”
And that, ladies and gents, is how you spin scandal into survival.
FINAL THOUGHT:
This episode was messy like a wet wig in a windstorm.
Love triangles turned to pentagons.
Fan favorites fumbled.
And Olandria? She might just be the main character we didn't know we needed.
📺 Tune in next time, ‘cause apparently nobody’s loyal, everybody’s loud, and handshakes are a love language now.
🔥 Who are you voting to save next? And should Olandria start her own spinoff? Sound off in the comments!
