Bombshells Have Arrived
Image Credit: Ben Symons/Peacock Logo text Knock, knock! The OG Islanders didn’t even make it 24 hours before two bombshells came knocking on the villa’s door. After the Islanders initially coupled up and spent their first night together, they saw their first twist when Gabriel (who was initially announced as an OG Islander but was switched to bombshell) and Kayda strutted in and each stole two girls and two boys, respectively, to spend the second night with (Yes, I can confirm it was an awkward throuple bed situation). During episode two, Gabriel and Kayda got to pick the Islander they wanted to steal, with the former choosing Beatriz and the latter picking Zach.
But if you thought that duo was going to be the only bombshells during week one, you were wrong, as Corbin was a surprise bombshell during the first challenge during episode four. Let’s just say he got in quite a few kisses before the boys even knew he was there.
Before week one wrapped up, the Islanders had one more massive twist when three bombshells — Caleb, Jen and Sol — crashed their lingerie slumber party, locking lips and leaving colorful marks on the Islanders.
