Hey there, islanders!

In the interest of catching up to the discourse, we're going to do things a little differently this week. Kibitzes 43 and 44 (covering Love Island USA 8.12-8.19) are already recorded, but we're gonna jump ahead first to Love Island USA 8.20 and 8.21, the most recent episodes.

If you're a viewer who's caught up with the show, you can go straight here! If you're someone who's just listening along with the podcast recaps, you might want to wait until we backfill episodes 12-19. Your Love Island journey is your prerogative!

In this episode: The grand Casa Amor experiment draws to a close, Corbin and Parmida find post-apocalyptic love in a hopeless place, and Bryce and Trinity prove themselves the true romance of a generation.
