‘Love Island USA’ Cut a Kiss Between Two Girls in Season 8 Challenge

Everyone was making out with everyone in Love Island USA Season 8’s slumber party challenge — but one kiss between two of the girls didn’t make it into the final cut of Episode 6.

First, let’s set the scene. A giant bed in the middle of the villa. The Islanders in matching white lingerie outfits. The guys were “handcuffed” to the headboard, while the girls were armed with eye masks and pouches filled with paint, which they spread all over their hands. They had to identify their partners by touch — and/or kiss — alone.

A fair number of Islanders decided to indulge in a few more makeout sessions than strictly required, including Melanie and Trinity. Their lip lock got a major reaction out of their fellow Islanders and more than a few fans. The fans also noticed after the fact that Melanie shared a kiss with yet another female Islander, which was revealed via the Love Island USA app.

In a photo shared after the episode aired, Kenzie — other than her blonde hair, we can be sure it’s her because of the blue paint on her hands — can be seen kissing Melanie. Sincere’s reaction is all of us finding out that the moment didn’t make it into the edit.
