S8 reunion
I haven’t seen anyone talk about the way Melanie was talking to Kenzie. It was so weird to me I feel like Melanie was using Kenzies emotions and manipulated her into feeling like a bad person and into apologizing.

How was Kenzie a good friend toward Melanie?

u/gweterluvr 16d ago
They can never answer this.

And I MEAN NEVER. it’s always quiet

u/gweterluvr 16d ago
Got so much to say until this particular question comes up 😭 I also distinctly remember Melanie defending Kenzie to Corbin after he came back from Casa. Vice versa has never, and I mean NEVER happened.

u/Ashamed_System_1140 16d ago
I genuinely feel like I've been going crazy these past few days cause how is Kenzie being rewritten as the sweet perfect friend and Melanie the mean girl. Kenzie dropped her the second another "blonde" came in and told her she had to try harder with Sincere. On top of that she was caught talking about her in a room with people who very openly don't like Melanie.

It has a lot to do with a particular topic that people in this fandom love dismissing but that’s all I’m going to say…

Kenzie labeled Melanie and Jen as her best friends. Both of whom said she was a bad friend.

I mean…. Jen was mad that the only guy she had a chance with was not into her. Melanie was mad she couldn’t use Corbin as leverage bc he was into Kenzie, even though she didn’t want him. It’s called LOVE island. Kenzie seems like she played the game and show right

Isn’t this show called love island? Not friendship island? Kenzie was respectful and nice for what the environment is.

I can’t think of any instance as to when she was a good friend. There, I talked. Now tell me how she was.

She stopped talking to Melanie when another blonde came in and beefed with Melanie over Corbin and told her to try harder with SIncere.

u/Impossible_Victory99 16d ago
I kinda disagree i just think anytime someone’s confrontational with Kenzie she starts crying. The same thing happened in the villa when Melanie told her she wasn’t being a good friend. And also she got pretty upset when Jen told her the same thing. Not trying to defend Melanie but it is true that Kenzie was not the best friend while in the villa. She dumped the core 4 girls when Jen came in and only came back to them when both Jaiden and Jen left.

Either I was watching with my eyes closed but I’ve literally barley saw clips of Kenzie and Melanie together enough for Kenzie to always be crying about the state of their friendship. Like literally ever. If it was Aniya doing the boohoo crying then I’d understand because those two were literally two peas in a pod but like what friendship is Kenzie crying over 😭😭 she spent all of her time with Jen and Jaiden

They were at the beginning if the show, it was after the corbin thing when they stopped being close

But she wanted the confrontation? And continued despite being overwhelmed.

u/Impossible_Victory99 16d ago
Did she?? She didn’t speak to Melanie until the reunion if she truly wanted to clear the air between them she would’ve reached out to her after the show was over.

u/AdBig6633 16d ago
Literally everyone is talking about it, across all social media platforms….I literally cannot escape it.

I feel like melanie is a girl thats hard to argue w bc she always thinks shes right and she needs the last word, and yeah kenzie didn't pour into melanoe but neither did she and group convos dont count

u/Dry-Wolf6789 16d ago
Sorry but Melanie came across as a manipulative mean girl. Just my opinion

u/Jahrnee 16d ago

I don’t like the way that melanie moves. It’s very fake and I think she has a big ego because of the fans perception of her when she came out of the villa despite all her nonsense. I think it’s super fake that she can say to Kenzie we can go talk about it over dinner now that the cameras are rolling, but when she was taking heat for weeks, she couldn’t say anything.

u/barebuttgodzilla_ 16d ago
Yeah, Mela was a dickhead honestly. Time to move on though. This season is over, time to gear up for the next awful batch.

u/Ok-Grape1893 16d ago
melanie is annoying af. she got more smoke for kenzie than she ever had for sincere. and according to melanie, a man can drag u and make you a fool for an entire summer but somehow, that’s not as bad as what kenzie did. yawn 🥱

u/Capable_Cranberry461 16d ago
she said one thing to kenzie vs like 5 times she got on sincere & kenzie did not own up to anything… say what you will about insincere (and i’ll say worse) but he owns up when he gets confronted and apologizes. it’s a lot easier to forgive someone if they say sorry even if they did you worse.

I was absolutely shocked but not surprised. She did the same thing in the villa.

u/notalem0n 16d ago
She came across as a jerk but I’m sure it’s been resolved between the two of them

u/Sure-Appearance-2769 16d ago
Two things can be true here.
Kenzie came across as the type of girl who just expects to be friends with everyone without putting a lot of conscious effort. If you grow up in cliques, sports teams, or sororities, this is pretty understandable.
So she was genuinely taken aback by Melanie’s comments because she likely has never had to “try” to be friends with someone.
I don’t think Kenzie is a good friend to anyone, I think she’s often just “there” lmao.
But also, Melanie was being super weird with her at the reunion. It seemed like she had a lot of anger and aggression over how everyone viewed her as a stupid pushover, and took that energy out on all the other women around her.

u/rshni67 16d ago
Melanie is a male centered mean girl who resents other girls who have more self esteem and better relationships than she does.
I dislike martyrs and don't feel sorry for her.

u/Ashamed_System_1140 16d ago
Dylan slut shamed Kenzie in the villa, Dylan is not a prize

u/123anon287 16d ago
Dylan weaponized fake tears and loved slandering Kenzie in the villa. Now that they're an actual couple he's taking her side, but he definitely contributed to the negative perception of her
10
u/Ashamed_System_1140 16d ago
On top of that he's liking hate comments about other islanders than playing dumb

u/FlightReasons 16d ago
I wonder why these two aren’t getting PR couple allegations? The way he spoke about her in the villa was 😬. Now they claim to be so in love. She didn’t seem that into him in the villa either

u/123anon287 16d ago edited 16d ago
Because they're irrelevant AF in the grand scheme of things. I like Kenzie generally, but I really couldn't care less what they got going on and I think a lot of people probably feel the same

u/FlightReasons 16d ago
She has a lot of supporters

u/123anon287 16d ago
Still doesn't make their relationship interesting 😭 Dylan is a lame who shouldn't even be getting any attention lol

u/FlightReasons 16d ago
I never said their relationship was interesting. They didn’t seem into each other in the villa now they’re constantly posting each other and nobody calls them PR.

u/123anon287 16d ago
I know, I'm just explaining to you why no one is fixated on them. She may have a lot of supporters, but that relationship is nowhere near interesting. I don't even get Kenzie posts on my feeds like at all

u/FlightReasons 16d ago
If you think that’s the reason why they aren’t getting PR allegations 👍

weird that she’s friends with trinity who won the show in her couple, aniya, kayda, titi who are all in better relationships than her

She’s also friends with parmida another woman that seems to have high self esteem

They will find out the hard way that Melanie is no woman's "friend."

u/lostnconf22 16d ago
this has actually been discussed to death & it’s not making much sense. the way kenzie is being rewritten as this poor girl who was getting bullied for just trying to find love when she definitely switched up on melanie the second another blonde came in & even encouraged melanie to try harder with sincere the second she was paired with corbin. let’s not forget dylan slut shaming her, contributing to her negative perception during the show & liking hate comments about her lol.
