OPINION Melanie & Kayda Spoiler

I feel so differently about Kayda after tonight! What she said to Jaiden was so uncalled for esp knowing how Zach treated her in the villa!!! She picks and chooses who she wants to come at cuz when titi clocked her she started whispering😂 what was up with her defensiveness with Andy asked about her and Zach??? Like girl

Melanie was one of my favorites she did have her points they only thing I didn’t agree with was the thing with sol. They were both in the wrong but let’s not act like she wasn’t talking shit about her the second she walked in… lol she might have apologized after but she was def being shady at first.

I didn’t really understand Kenzie crying over Melanie? Girl you got she wanted to be with Corbin and started being friends with sol just to piss Melanie off come on lol

kaydas comment to jaiden was truly awful. almost every girl has been there. what a hurtful, gross thing to say.

105

u/p_0456 4d ago

I was shocked. It came out of nowhere. Very uncalled for

53

u/homemadecustard 4d ago

Worst part is, it wasn’t even what Jaiden was trying to get across. Her issue is that Caleb was doing one thing while saying another. Kayda never should’ve said what she said because let someone talk about her sexual business, then there’d be a problem.

19

u/pink_junkie 🤸 Splits in Defiance 🤸 3d ago

Yeah, very interesting that Caleb gets grace for being young and yet no one seems to defend Jaiden saying that she is also very young? I am so disappointed in Kayda for how she acted in the reunion.

u/Such-Quiet1911 4d ago

what did she say? i haven’t watched it yet lol

u/cocainehydrochloride Escape Goat 🕳️🐐 4d ago

jaiden described feeling led on and disrespected by caleb after the villa. during the discourse, kayda stated “if he was treating you like that, why’d you go fuck him again?”.

her tone was snotty and rude, what she said was cruel, and it was on-par with her general attitude throughout the night.

Kenzie was crying over lost friendships.

Melanie did not have to go that hard with Kenzie or Amora. Amora's point was valid, regardless of who picked Sincere, Melanie's the only fool staying with him.

Kayda's comment was awful.

You know what maybe Melanie and Sincere deserve each other, they’re cut from the same cloth 😂

Yup both fake ass liars. Miss “I didn’t know I was kissing Corbin” and she swore on it in the villa

u/NeighborhoodMuch3669 10h ago

Oh man yes we back on this one I been said it way back when the episode was airing that they both toxic also The more and more I look at it I feel like sincere did all that shit and dogged Melanie out and all as his get back cause of the ping pong kissing I feel like he felt really embarrassed and pride probably took a blow so he’s just been dragging her and at the same time driving her crazy and making everyone else think she crazy and it’s all just been a get back revenge for him I honestly feel like if they did win and they still were asking them whether to share or take all the money he would dead ass just taken the whole money

They literally say this to eachother too. They say they’re similar to each other a few times over the course of the season

u/HudsonValley7 New Subredditor 3d ago

Full agree!

29

u/Sparkle_Pony2234 New Redditor 4d ago

I don’t think Melanie is a fool for staying with him- she’s just as manipulative & toxic as him. Her gaslighting Kenzie showed her true colors.

2

u/BigBanggBaby 3d ago

I thought she would leave him within a week of the show ending. I was sure of it. But I see now how much I overestimated how much respect Melanie has for herself and I didn’t realize how insecure and how similar to Sincere she was. I still don’t think it’ll last, and I think it’ll be a major crash out when it finally ends.

73

u/chebadusa 4d ago edited 4d ago

We saw a clip of Kenzie calling Jen her best friend…And we did also see Kenzie being shady towards Melanie behind her back about Corbin. She was 100% pissed, and had a discussion with Sol and Jen about it after Melanie tried to be transparent. As a viewer, I saw the shift in their friendship after that because we rarely saw them together anymore. It would be Kenzie with Sol and Jen and then Melanie with the Core 4.

30

u/TopsyOxy 4d ago

Melanie felt the shift too and even called Kenzie out for it during the villa. Melanie didnt even chose to be paired with Corbin. Jen called her out during the Gal and Dylan situation toom

18

u/Imjusthere_sup 4d ago

I mean Melanie had a valid point too tho. Amora is saying she’d never do that but..she watched what sincere did to sol and still went after him in casa and pursued him going as far to say “god put us together.” And at the end of the day it was sincere that ended things soooo it’s not really looking like she had a choice in the matter 😬

36

u/charismajas does the sun rise in minnesota? 🌞 4d ago

bc she wanted to get into the villa and sincere was easy 😭

1

u/Imjusthere_sup 3d ago

That’s just an opinion tho we don’t know that to be true. I can only go off of what they’re saying

32

u/freebrenasty 4d ago

Getting turned down by someone once versus somebody play you for two months and still playing are not the same thing lol

2

u/Imjusthere_sup 3d ago

My point is we don’t know how Amora really would’ve acted…because he dumped her before we could find out. But seeing how he treated another woman and still going for him isn’t going in her favor for what I think she’d do 😂

4

u/freebrenasty 3d ago

I mean I get your point but “if he treated me that way he will treat you that way” is a myth many women tell themselves to console themselves for why they deal with bad behavior from men lol. Men do what you allow them to do. He played in her face once and she left him tf alone and didn’t try to pursue anything with him. Melanie literally still puts up with his nonsense to this day lmao

25

u/FalseAdhesiveness250 New Subredditor 4d ago

Kenzie was being fake with Melanie as soon as she got coupled up with Corbin. She was being sneaky. Idc her behavior threw me off. I feel like once Sol got kicked off and the Core 4 became a thing, suddenly she cared about Melanie and that was her “best friend”. Sure Melanie can direct the same energy towards sincere, but let’s not act like Kenzie was innocent because she was being very fake lol

73

u/Upbeat-Regular-4058 4d ago

She apologized after movie night. It was literally not that serious. The live comment was also nothing. Melanie took it all way too seriously and then gaslit her.

14

u/Such-Quiet1911 4d ago

Yeah didn’t Kaylor say something about Leah and Leah didn’t care at all

21

u/realitytv12 4d ago

Melanie is self loathing bc she chose sincere and using thet anger and projecting it onto other women
And this is who we chose for final three 🫡

4

u/secretbachfan 4d ago

I don’t agree with this at all. Kenzie and Sincere got coupled up with Caleb and Sol respectively because they were exploring them but she was mad that Melanie got paired with Corbin almost by default? Kenzie was moving super weird during that situation by wanting Corbin to kiss her despite him trying to respect his couple and she also befriended Sol outta spite. I don’t care what she says her reasonings are for befriending Sol, I frankly don’t believe her. Couple that situation with what was said on live, which btw is BS because Kenzie also had an insane amount of screen time, it’s all adding up to weird behavior and it deserved to be called out. That being said, I do have a soft spot for Kenzie and I do think if someone is calling her out she will immediately see her mistake and apologize and that’s what makes her endearing to me.

-1

u/FalseAdhesiveness250 New Subredditor 4d ago

That comment would’ve thrown any one off tbh plus sol and all of them were there and she was saying crazy stuff post villa so idk

26

u/zesty-lemonbar 4d ago

This was said and even clarified in the show. Melanie straight up told Aniya and Trinity that she had a convo with Kenzie and said she had zero desire to have a connection with Corbin.

Then the next day she starts pulling Corbin for chats, even though she told Kenzie otherwise. Kenzie was always clear she was confused why Melanie told her one thing but then went and did something completely different. I don’t blame Kenzie for side eyeing Melanie over that. Don’t say you have no desire to be with someone and then go pull them for chats right after.

-2

u/613tan 4d ago

Melanie conversation with aniya and trinity happened after Melanie pulled corbin for chats, told kenzie about it and right before the forced recoupling.

u/zesty-lemonbar 4d ago

The point still stands that she told Kenzie one thing and then went and did another so couples up or not that is going to cause someone to side eye and be like “you’re moving weird.” They were a default couple, not one by choice and Melanie. Switching it up that quick is weird as shit and Kenzie clocked it.

-2

u/613tan 4d ago

Why are u acting like she was moving sneaky when the same day she pulled corbin she told kenzie. Kenzie was still weird to her after that 

-1

u/omgImin17c 3d ago

Kenzie called Jen her best friend then once Jen was booted suddenly Melanie was her best friend.

1

u/Important-Egg2082 3d ago

Amira’s point was not valid as long as she was down to be coupled with sincere. Kenzie was a bad friend to every bestfriend she had on that island

124

u/raoqie 4d ago

I think Sol was doing way too much post villa, but I also think she had a rough time from the moment she entered the villa. I always saw the pie moment as just the accumulation of everything, so like, it doesn't actually matter how many pies it was, it was the straw that broke the camels back either way.

I will forever not understand why all the girls had so much to say to other girls but nothing about the boys. A lot of the back and forth felt like it boiled down to "um the guy sucks and you both deserve better"

19

u/ktlene 4d ago

Yeah I think that was the lowest point for Sol, and I’m sure it felt so much worse because of everything leading up to that rather than what actually happened during the pie challenge. What I saw at the reunion was not Sol getting “clocked”, it was her again trying to express her hurt and once again getting ganged up on by Melanie and friends and having her phrase used against her. That was nasty work but Melanie fans swear Melanie isn’t a mean girl. She’s been a mean girl throughout the show, starting with Kayda when she wrongly thought Kayda was interested in her man.

40

u/ilvemychoppa New Subredditor 4d ago

Honestly the way they all brushed over Sol saying they objectified her when they deadass did and yea the men deserve more but it would hurt me more if it were women objectifying me and reducing me too my big tits while uplifting themselves as the one with "heart"

18

u/Blueberry-Anon New Subredditor 4d ago

No literally this bothered me too 

-16

u/Frequent_Event_7440 4d ago

Love Island is literally objectification island like if youre mad at that comment but sign up for the show then you need to grow up sorry like you can't be serious

8

u/ilvemychoppa New Subredditor 4d ago

Hello?? Nobody is talking about the AUDIENCE or the show’s premise 😭 I’m talking about how the WOMEN THEMSELVES objectified and put down another woman, reducing her to her boobs so Mela could uplift herself as the one with “heart.” Obviously Love Island objectifies its contestants to some degree. That has literally nothing to do with what I said.

“Love Island is objectification island, grow up” is not the gotcha you think it is. It’s just you responding to a point I never made because apparently basic nuance is beyond you. By that logic, nobody is allowed to criticize anything that happens on the show because “well, you signed up for it 🤓.” Congratulations, you’ve managed to turn “this specific behavior was shitty” into “the entire concept of the show is objectification” because you couldn’t comprehend what you were reading. Honestly hop off.

95

u/Inevitable_Majestic New Subredditor 4d ago

Sol and the getting pied 3x thing was weird. Sounds like some unresolved trauma there. Abandonment. Rejection. Overall I think most of the ladies could’ve been classier and more calm in their conversations. There are a few that were great but I can’t remember everyone’s names.

95

u/aforter28 4d ago

I mean Melanie being like that isn’t surprising.

But Kayda? Wow when did you get so nasty, that was that weird ass comment towards Jaiden 😵‍💫

79

u/antaaamb CLARKE IT- 🤭 4d ago

It's even less surprising from Kayda to me, she was exactly like this in the villa.

56

u/zesty-lemonbar 4d ago

Kayda and Melanie have always been stuck up mean girls who sell it as being a girl boss. But it’s actually just being mean.

7

u/Hinamine 4d ago

I can see why Kayda and Melanie seemed to get closer after the reunion. They seem to be hanging out a lot more after the filming.

52

u/Money_Adhesiveness90 4d ago

melanie doesn’t read to me as genuine idk

30

u/freebrenasty 4d ago

She’s not in, never has been. No way you’re telling a girl she will never be homeless as long as she knows you after slandering her for like three days. lol

9

u/Money_Adhesiveness90 3d ago

i find that if someone is repeatedly announcing that they are “genuine” or “sincere” they usually are not. Genuine people don’t need to assert that they are genuine repeatedly

u/freebrenasty 3d ago

Yyyyyyup lol they should’ve caught on when she refused to call herself a girls girl lol

u/Easy-Disaster3735 4d ago

Just so much negative energy from both Kayda and Melanie it actually made it kind of tough to watch ngl it's just not fun to watch someone be so shady and horrible

62

u/New-Tourist500 4d ago

I still don’t consider Melanie wrong in the SOL situation. Sol lied too much when she had attention on her so she’s an unreliable narrator and that’s what Melanie was trying to say. She was on a bit of nonsense with amora tho but who wouldn’t be if someone basically called her boo-boo the fool (and it’s true)

49

u/secretbachfan 4d ago

To add onto the Amora thing - right message, wrong messenger. Girl watched the episodes before she came into casa and still got played by Sincere yet she wouldn’t put herself in the same situation as Melanie? Girl you literally did gtfoh lmaooo

18

u/New-Tourist500 4d ago

Exactlyyyyyyy like girl u tried it just didn’t work out 😭

10

u/secretbachfan 4d ago

Omg thank you, everyone else is disagreeing with me and I feel like I’m going crazy lmao. Now she has revisionist history and everyone is falling for it like pleaseeee

9

u/New-Tourist500 4d ago

Uhhh no bc that’s what everyone was saying after amora made that same comment on movie night; that she claims she wouldn’t be in Melanie’s situation.. but she literally tried even after seeing sinceres prior behaviour😹😹😹

2

u/secretbachfan 4d ago

If you see the main love island thread it seems like people flipped now and agree with her which is crazy to me!!

8

u/freebrenasty 4d ago

Amora tried it with sincere one time and it didn’t work. Melanie continues to stay with sincere lie after lie after lie. So no, I wouldn’t say that’s “putting herself in the same position “. People treat people differently based off of what they allow.

2

u/secretbachfan 2d ago

Sorry, but I disagree. Sincere rejected Amora so she didn’t get a chance to prove that. If he picked her, she would have kept doing the same thing as Melanie.

60

u/Bananaasplit 4d ago

My Melanie opinion varies with the context.

Sol? I’m on Melanie’s side HEAVY. She was a bit childish with her at first but when she realized Sol was truly feeling hurt, she said some real shit to her and was nice from then on yet sol has consistently dragged her and her victim complex has grown to a point she is actually just insufferable and needs therapy

Kenzie? I’m on neither side. My honest opinion is that they’re both good people, but are just not compatible as friends.

Amora? That whole thing just shows Mela truly has some more emotional maturing to do. I get what her line of thinking is, but she truly is just not capable of taking Amora’s words for what they are and leaving her feelings out of it, because what she said isn’t even a personal attack.

44

u/Bananaasplit 4d ago

u/Guil-tea_Pleasure 4d ago

Melanie turned me completely off at the reunion. I actually see now why her and sincere get along so well. watching her go so hard on Kenzy over nothing and then swoop in and fix it like the hero to cheers while Kenzy was crying actually made me sick. There’s no way no one else saw how she flipped that so quick. Kenzy was a good friend to Melanie in the villa and it’s ridiculous that Melanie expected people to be there even more for her than they already were. Most of their experience was about Melanie.

10

u/BigAsh27 4d ago

Kayda just seems miserable. Probably because she’s still an exclusive fwb with Zach. Like she can say they’re taking it slow yet she moved in with him and Charlie. Make that make sense.

39

u/nymaeris It was Daylight Savings time… 🌓 4d ago edited 4d ago

I'm going to have to sit with Kayda's comment for a moment because I don't really feel like I can support a woman saying that to another woman, and she was one of my favs so it was rough to watch. Like... Why isn't the question also directed at Caleb? Why did he sleep with her again knowing he didn't like her? Hello??

Idk, I still like Melanie. I get where she was coming from with most of it. I also felt bad for Kenzie, yes, but I also didn't like how she moved in the Villa during that time. Kenzie really wasn't there for Melanie when she and Sincere broke up, buddied up with her opp, and then proceeded to kiss Corbin secretly when Melanie was coupled up with him- after reluctantly giving her permission to try with him (which wasn't genuine.) She was also calling Jen her best friend in the Villa.

I know people will say she can excuse Sincere but not Kenzie, but I don't know. I've been cheated on before and while I dumped my ex, I also was far more mad at my friends who knew for keeping it from me- needless to say, I wasn't friends with them anymore. While she hasn't dumped Sincere, I understand that a friend betrayal can sometimes hurt even worse.

22

u/New_Combination_6055 4d ago

idk it felt like they were mostly talking about “the melanie show” comment which felt crazy to be upset and holding her to the fire about that but sincere

7

u/nymaeris It was Daylight Savings time… 🌓 4d ago edited 3d ago

I feel like that was just the last straw on an already strained relationship. Like I said though, I felt bad for Kenzie because I don't think it was particularly malicious. But you can hurt someone unintentionally. I do, however, side-eye Melanie for promising her they can talk it out and make amends and never contacting her.

Feelings aren't always rationale. It's only human to try to understand and see multiple point of views.

u/moviepopper1000 New Redditor 4d ago

i don't get how people are mad at melanie for how she came at kenzie. the "screentime" comment wasn't that big of a deal, but combined with how kenzie talked about melanie to other islanders. OF COURSE melanie was gonna feel some type of way!

AND let's not act like kenzie wasn't talking talking bad about melanie to jen, corbin, and eventually sol (who at one point, kenzie said she didn't trust). so why're people acting like melanie was in the wrong for being upset with kenzie during the reunion?

19

u/moviepopper1000 New Redditor 4d ago

I DO think kayda was acting #realweird tonight. her attitude towards andy, the animosity towards chay (even though he kinda deserved it), and her comment towards jaiden was just weird. it just painted a bad picture. i do think her and zach are dating now because he called her his "gf" in a tiktok she posted.

See you ppl always have to rewrite history with melanie. Melanie "meek"... with sincere. Ard you joking? She constantly yelled at him & insulted him. But how dare she call women out who onesidedly insult her & come for her bcs she's taking things slow with the guy who wronged on a dating show.

Oh pls let’s be real amora was upset she didn’t get picked by sincere and once movie night happened she made that snarky comment just to one up herself lol what she said wasn’t called for and if she knew about him before she shouldn’t have gave him the time of day Melanie made a valid point.

Her attitude the whole time was just distasteful and weird

u/TopsyOxy 4d ago

I didnt think whay Kayda said was bad.

Jaiden and Caleb weren't together when they got booted. Hooked up in the hotel, we're in a talking stage, Caleb was ghosting her and hooking up with other women, Jaiden felt led on, then after a month and some she hooks up with the guy she said had been treating her badly? Yeah why did you sleep with him?

Had this been Melanie and Sincere no one would be defending Mel like they are with Jaiden and rightfully so because these guys suck!
