Brandon and Rachel explain some old Summer House lore, try to understand the rise of Labubus in the culture, and break down this week’s episodes of Love Island USA, especially the Standing on Business challenge. They discuss the girl’s girl to mean girl pipeline, Cierra’s scandal and fall from grace, Ace seeing what America sees, and Amaya getting her flowers. They continue to believe Huda is the villain of the villa, and both give their predictions for final couples.
