Star of the 6th season of “Love Island USA” needs support

Star of the 6th season of “Love Island USA” needs support

The big picture

  • Daia revealed that the men lied about Kordell’s reunion with Serena, which led to Serena’s emotional outburst in the villa.
  • The men attempted to control each other’s damage by portraying the women as unreasonable, while Serena was understandably upset about the situation.
  • Serena’s slow approach to relationships is justified; she reacts strongly to Kordell’s betrayal in Casa Amor.



Casa Amor is a “test” for Love Island USA Couples. Men often think that the test is when they meet new and beautiful women in a villa away from their partner. Women often see it as a test to see if their man can remain faithful. Serena Page And Kaylor Martin received heartbreaking news about their partners at the end of the twist, which led to tears and lots of screaming.

Serena freaked out at several men when they returned to the villa. Daia McGhee, who returned from Casa Amor, together with Cordell Beckham. She told Serena what happened last week and Serena was so upset that she yelled at most of the male islanders. For this reason, we should leave the judgment to the men and not Serena.

Love Island USA Episode 24 began after the guys returned from Casa Amor. The next day, Kordell made breakfast for Serena and Daia. Serena pushed the plate back to refuse it and the food landed on Kordell’s shoulders. That night, Serena talked to Daia, who explained that she loves physical touch and it is part of her interactions with Kordell. “We were into each other the whole time, but not in a sexual way.” Daia told Serena. “It wasn’t like we were straddling each other the whole time. But we were definitely very strong.”

Leah Kateb Serena said that Kordell was 90 percent into Serena and 10 percent into Daia. She claimed Kordell told this to Daia, who then denied it. Daia then revealed that Miguel played up their connection in Casa Amor by talking about how happy Kordell was with her. Daia said the men lied when they claimed Kordell told her he would take Daia back to the mansion but would reunite with Serena. This led to Serena yelling at most of the cast members. She told Kendall Washington not to talk to her. “Fuck him, fuck Miguel, fuck all those guys over there telling you shit,” Serena told them. She went to Kordell and Miguel on the dock to call them liars and berate them.


The fact that men portray Serena as “hyperemotional” is insulting

The men in the episode engaged in damage control for each other. Miguel and Kendall told Serena and Daia that Kordell cared about them. This must be frustrating for Serena, who knows the men at Casa Amor had no thought for her well-being. The video of Kordell and Daia in bed included a clip in which Kendall said he “loved” watching Aaron Evans flirt with someone who Kaylor MartinAnother part of men’s damage control is to portray the women they hurt as unreasonable.


“I wish and hope that Serena actually gives you a chance to speak your mind, because I feel like she’s really overemotional about the whole thing right now,” Miguel told Kordell that night. The men agreed that Kordell could have been more attentive while he was away, but mentioned that Serena had friendzoned him some time ago. Miguel argued that he would stick around, and it made sense that Kordell would be interested in Daia, who immediately gave him all of her attention. If Kordell accuses Serena, as Miguel claims, of starting their relationship between her and the girl, then his actions at Casa Amor may be more about revenge than about testing the connection between him and her. “Honestly, Kordell did nothing wrong,” Miguel told Leah that evening. He’s not the only cast member who might think so.

Kordell and Kendall talk about Serena


“I understand that you are hurt, but you are hurting your friends who care about you,” Kendall whispered to JaNa Craig. Episode 25 showed the end of the fight. Kordell was talking to the men. Kendall told Kordell that he had stood by Serena through everything. “And you can’t really communicate with Serena because she locks you up.” Kendall told him. “Is she going to act like this every time?” he asked Kordell later. Shouldn’t the real question be whether Kordell is disrespectful every time Serena isn’t around?

The men focused on Serena’s reaction to Kordell’s actions and that shows that it is possible. They also said Kordell did nothing wrong behind her back to undermine her legitimate feelings about him cuddling up to another woman in Casa Amor. The fact that Kordell doesn’t correct Miguel and say Serena had every right to take her time earlier in the season to figure out if they could be more than just friends is a warning sign. Love Island USA has a format where you’re looking for people who can fall in love quickly. However, some islanders are slow lovers and only build a bond over time.

“I think everything happened as it should.”

The only other man Serena showed interest in was Coye Simmons at the premiere. He told Collider why he is similar to Serena.”I feel like she is a real personhe said, claiming she is “the most realistic person in the house” because she wants to take things slowly. This realism is also reflected in her not keeping her mouth shut around men.


Kordell accused Serena of immaturity for not speaking to him when he was ready. It was clear she was still processing new information from Daia and was rightfully wondering who cared about her. She said the men weren’t her friends, and it’s understandable why she believes that considering how the men talk about her. Kordell and the other men like to say “they’re human” and make mistakes. Serena responded to that perfectly in their argument. “And so am I,” she told him. “And so am I, baby.” No matter what I did, I always had your ass in the back of my mind.”

Some people will certainly judge Serena for how she handled the situation. It is frustrating as a viewer to see all the men hiding information from her, and say something to her face and something else behind her back. Even more frustrating would be to be a victim of manipulation. Serena is a slow-moving person who is open about having been hurt before, so that’s something to keep in mind when talking about her vulnerability and anger on the show.
