Then, they get into the latest on Love Island USA: Sean’s post-‘Love Island USA’ social media growth, the drama between Melanie and Sincere after bombshell Sol entered the villa, and Bryce’s former Tumblr life. They make their predictions for who will couple up with the three new bombshells and who that will leave vulnerable to dump, and they disagree with the online chatter that Huda and Melanie are similar.
