The arrival of Corbin Mims surprises the Islanders
Corbin, a recent college graduate, is a travel entrepreneur working in the luxury vacation rental industry. His social media presence suggests he’s a big fitness enthusiast.Corbin moves into the villa after several shocks during his first few days. On Day 3, Aniya Harvey is paired with KC Chandler; Beatriz Hatz is with Gabriel Vasconcelos; Bryce Dettloff is paired with Trinity Tatum; Kayda Bosse is with Zach Georgiou; and Melanie Moreno continues with Sincere Rhea. Meanwhile, Kenzie Annis and Sean Reifel navigate the villa solo.
The female islanders react to the new bombshell
After a moment alone with Trinity Corbin, she says after meeting him in her confessional, “No one is safe.” Melanie says she’s so shocked she “didn’t know what to do” when she saw Corbin. When it’s Kenzie’s turn, she’s excited to keep the boys’ secret, and Kayda can’t believe the girls are able to keep a secret during the challenge.When it’s time for Corbin to make his entrance, the girls act as a surprise. But their covers are blown when he says, “Ladies, it’s good to see you again. Boys, do you want to hear from me? Or will the ladies tell them?”
Male islanders see their relationships threatened
He then pulls the girls aside for a group chat, where they each confess their interest, while simultaneously instilling fear in the men watching from the villa. “We’re watching our death,” says KC, as Bryce adds, “this is painful.”Melanie then takes him into a private conversation, leaving Sincere confused, and the girls agree that it’s weird for him to do that. They also suggest being next in line for a conversation with Kenzie Corbin. Beatrice adds that she doesn’t like how Melanie is ‘moving’, and Trinity adds: ‘I’m confused at the same time because if she was honest, she’d be furious. What the hell is going on? He has a very good thing.”
Melanie’s behavior provokes conflict and tears
Honest says in her confession, “I literally went through the seven stages of grief in 25 minutes.” Beatriz then confronts Melanie about her “rude” behavior. But the conversation quickly escalates when Melanie says it’s an accident and asks Beatriz to “calm down.” Trinity tries to diffuse the situation by asking about Melanie’s chat with Corbin, but Melanie decides she doesn’t want to talk to the girls because Beatrice “did too much.“Melanie quickly looks for someone to talk to and wanders around the villa before Aniya asks to chat with her on the couch. But Melanie says, “I’m not going to the couch,” before asking for some time alone. “Give me 10,” she repeats to Aniya several times.
