Love Island USA latest season began with drama. Certain groups were forming, and a rule had to be changed mid season. With the end of the week approaching, and pairings coming soon - the last thing the islanders needed happened.
Before we get to that. As of right now, it mostly became a battle between those genuinely trying to find love, and the ones just trying to get a win. Whilst, most the girl and Zach, aligned together. Zach had very obviously fallen for Bryce. and Bryce was too dumb to realize he'd fallen too. For Bryce it almost seemed like their closeness was just what boys do for each other. Everybody knew though, Sincere never gave it a day without making jokes about how he was so worried Zach had a crush on him. It was annoyingly funny. Now to the drama
It was a regular night, the live feeds were off. Kayda just left confessionals, Sincere had made properly not burned food for once. And then, Caleb and K.C got into an argument, that ended with Caleb saying the n-word. Immediately a physical fight broke out, after like five minutes, Sincere managed to pull K.C off of Caleb, Zach grabbed Caleb and dragged him to the rooms, not without Carl and Sincere giving him the 'Are you really siding with him' eyes. K.C was in the dining area still screaming about something.
Now about that rule change. As stated prior, Zach was very obviously not into the girls as much as he tried to be. He and Kayda entered a lavender relationship prior to the rule change, now the pairings do not have to be strictly boy x girl, meaning Zach could be himself. But for now, he and Kayda were focused on keeping each other in the game, especially in times like this where it was known, K.C and Sincere were going to treat Zach like he sided with a racist confederate guy or something. Bryce was kinda in the middle. He and Caleb were the only white men on this island, Carl and Zach were mixed (Zach being greek, Carl being asian). So Bryce knew itd probably be best for him to shut up, yet he decided maybe he should still back Caleb, solidarity or something. Zach was still in the rooms trying to calm Caleb down, while K.C was fighting through the guys trying to get to the room.
