It was an amazing two hour catch up to see what happened to all of the Islanders, once they left the Fiji villa…. And there was a lot to unpack! First, we’re still not sure whether or not Sincere and Melanie are a couple and we’re still not sure we believe Carl and Aniya ever were one (they claim they are). The drama broke out when Sol began complaining again about her treatment in the villa, but was humiliated after producers showed never before seen clips that proved otherwise. We also discuss the obvious media training KC, Titi, Corbin and Parmida had before the reunion, and Dylan proved to T.J. once again why he is not a fan of Kenzie’s guy.

This episode was inspired by an instagram feed dedicated to helping people have healthier communication, called happy couples connect. We’ve all felt triggered during heated conversations with our partners, and that’s when we usually make it about the other person: it’s because of THEIR tone, or THEIR timing. The truth is most of us are operating out of fear and we either get defensive, use harsh words, or shut down without trying to understand the other person. We go over the five questions you can ask yourself, before a difficult conversation turns into knock-down, drag-out fight.
