The villa is still recovering from Johnny & Gabby’s power trip, and this episode had everything: messy voting, a shady twist, tears that didn’t make sense, and a duel that literally knocked someone out the game. Let’s get into it.
💋 The Power Group’s Kiss of Death
Johnny and his little minions were scrambling to figure out who to send into the duel. But of course, Lucinda couldn’t keep Garbi’s name out of her mouth (girl, let it go). The twist? The power squad had to kiss their picks in order to seal the deal.
When the islanders returned to the villa, Nicola got the text nobody wanted: those kisses weren’t for fun—they were the eviction notice. The targets? Nicola & Garbi and Kendal & Josh.
Josh was heated (and we don’t blame him). Being blindsided is bad enough, but finding out it was through a kiss? Humiliating.
👀 Sunken Eyes & Selective Smoke
Isiah tried to “explain” to Kendal and Josh why he voted for them. Honestly, no offense but those sunken eyes need to stay out of other people’s business. Johnny and his minions were confused why Isiah was even talking to them anyway.
Meanwhile, Lucinda once again showed her selective smoke—mad when people dragged Isiah, but had no problem keeping her claws in Garbi every chance she gets. Pick a lane, sis.
🏐 The Duel of Doom
The challenge was brutal: keep heavy medicine balls out of your pit. Sounds simple, but it turned into chaos.
Round 1: Garbi vs Nicola → Garbi dominated, but things took a scary turn when she hit Nicola in the head with one of those massive balls. Nicola went down hard 😩 and was forced to leave the competition immediately. Round 2: Josh vs Kendal → This was close! Josh won the first round and barely edged out the second by a single second. He stays another day.
😢 Goodbye Kendal
Lucinda started crying over Kendal leaving (girl, please). But Kendal kept it classy, telling Garbi he really liked her and wanted to get to know her more outside the villa. A rare wholesome moment in the middle of the mess.
Meanwhile, Josh survived another duel—though he can now go home at any time and take those cornrows out.
🫖 Final Sip
This episode gave chaos, heartbreak, and a literal head injury. Johnny and Gabby are still drunk off power, Lucinda is crying over men that aren’t hers, and Josh is hanging on by a braid. The villa is ready to explode—so buckle up, because it’s only getting messier from here.
