## Resource

"Love Island USA" is heating up as fans vote for the bombshells to couple up with the other islanders. Our "Virtual Reali-Tea" co-hosts, Danny Murphy and Evan Real, are joined by our "Love Island USA" correspondent, Jordan Emanuel, to recap season 8 episode 8 of the hit show. Sincere Rhea and Sol Dean's connection continues to grow while Melanie Moreno attempts to remain unbothered. Kenzie Annis is torn between her "roster" of two, Corbin Mims and Caleb McDaniel. Bryce Dettloff ruffles a few feathers with Zach Georgiou and Trinity Tatum for his interest in pulling Kayda Bosse for a chat. Check out our full "Love Island USA" recaps every Tuesday and Friday.
