Our love lives have gone full Love Island.

This season of Love Island USA has the timeline on fire…but maybe not for the reasons y’all hoped. Is it mirroring our dating lives a little too close?

To get into the season, Brittany chats with co-owner of Defector Media, Kelsey McKinney and co-host of Scamfluencers, Sarah Hagi, about the glimpses of romance amidst Love Island’s largely unromantic current season, and how the show may be an unfortunate reflection of current dating woes.

This episode contains mentions of suicide. If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
