Show Notes

The insanity of Sincere continues in part two of movie night on Love Island USA, and the clips just keep on rolling! Sincere blames his people pleasing ways but is that F Boy 101? Did Kenzie get enough heat for her behaviour? Did you think KC and Aniya's make up have chemistry? Who will be the two couples in the bottom? Is Zach the messiest islander? We barely saw Bryce and Trinity in this episode - we think they've got in on lock! Tell us all your thoughts and follow us @realityreceiptspod for more!
