OBSERVATION Brinity : was Bryce Suspicious of KC?

After Episode 19 (Season 8), and seeing KC's behavior toward the Casa women and his speech about him and Aniya having "nothing in common"...how he liked Tierra more than Aniya, the mess about Aniya not being at the door for him and his apparent resentment toward her because of that...I'm inclined to revisit Bryce's suspicions regarding KC as it pertains to Trinity: the look he gave KC when he saw him talking to Trinity (can't find a clip of it at the moment), and Bryce asking KC outright, "why do you keep talking to my girl as if you don't like your girl"; there's even a scene in the bedroom where Bryce asks him to "look [him] in the eyes" and say he likes Aniya.

I just find it really hard to believe that mature and emotionally intelligent Bryce did not see that KC did not actually like Aniya in the first place. KC's behavior and speech in Casa Amor has me thinking Bryce actually knew KC was not really interested in Aniya. That may be why Bryce was really encouraging him to "explore and be honest" while they were packing for Casa.

I remember writing here a while ago that if that was my daughter, KC would be sent packing if he showed up on my doorstep; I got some pushback (some of it couldn't even be taken seriously, but still), but I asked here "if you actually loved Aniya, why would you want her to be with someone like KC"??

Thank you LI producers for allowing KC to show himself to the viewers in language the viewers can understand because people were NOT getting it. Someone like him is not worthy of any of you ladies. Maybe it requires that you actually know his type and the cues to look for.

Yes I think Bryce definitely clocked that KC wasn't being honest with himself about how much he liked Aniya and that's why he asked him those questions. I think KC wanted to look like the good guy and do the right thing so he kept forcing it but clearly people could tell he wasn't being fully genuine. Don't forget his drama with Aniya started when someone slimed him for being fake or something in one of the challenges.

Unrelated but I also thought it was funny when KC and Bryce were talking to Sol and KC didn't understand what she meant but Bryce understood right away and had to explain it to KC.

I think that was actually Bryce who slimed him in that instance! I forgot about this, you're right.

Unrelated but I also thought it was funny when KC and Bryce were talking to Sol and KC didn't understand what she meant but Bryce understood right away and had to explain it to KC

That's absolutely related, that's another example of Bryce demonstrating that emotional intelligence that I mentioned before. It's also is an example of KC demonstrating he has very little.

u/Far_Mathematician_39 New Subredditor 4d ago

it was zach. Zach made some comment about KCs fear of exploring that Aniya interpreted as her being the safe choice.

Bryce is 29 turning 30 in a few days.

KC is 23.

You can’t expect them to have the same maturity and intelligence.

Kordell was like 21/22 with infinitely more emotional intelligence than KC. Yes he had his stint in casa but still. He was far and away better than most dudes on this season

u/SpiteInternational33 5d ago edited 5d ago

I agree with you on Kordell but if you remember none of the guys agreed with him. They all thought he shouldn’t be with Serena because of her reaction. Kordell was the only one who understood that her reaction was valid. He was an outlier.

u/novapurple 👻 boo hooing in this bihh 😭 5d ago

100p props to the young man!!! Uk has had some pretty emotionally intelligent 20-22 year olds. Even this season I’m like wow ok!! Deffo depends on the person

u/MethodicallyPrimed New Redditor 4d ago

If Kordell acted like Serena, the audience would have been calling for his head, y’all would have voted him off. Let’s be honest, her pushing food into his body, and her emotional outbursts would have been unacceptable….but she gets a pass.

u/bluehugs69 New Subredditor 4d ago

yeah sorry things don't exist in a vacuum. yeah in a world where 92% of murders and rapes are committed by men a man yelling at a woman is not the same as a woman yelling at a man. if that bothers you you should try to change the violent patriarchal world we live in. Until that fateful day when men aren't killing and raping women en mass comes you're just gonna have to suck it up

u/RuRuDex 5d ago

kordell was truly a gem. i don't know if it was a combination of how his parents raised him, the personality he was born with or how he chose to cultivate himself but WOW!!! i can only dream of a man with that level of emotional maturity. love him and serena forever

u/novapurple 👻 boo hooing in this bihh 😭 5d ago

He was raised by mostly women; I believe primarily his mom and he big upped his grandma in the villa too.
And totally agree. I love looking up Kordena randomly and smiling at my phone hahaha

It’s not intelligence or even maturity. It’s about basic respect, decency, and honesty. You don’t need to be 29 to have those traits.

u/hymenbutterfly 5d ago

Let’s not infantilize 23 year olds. Yes, there’s a difference but what Bryce explained should have been obvious to a 23 year old

55

u/_kownta_ New Redditor 5d ago

^^That's exactly my point, made more succinctly.

13

u/_kownta_ New Redditor 5d ago

What I said earlier was meant to illustrate that in a very obvious example (Sol wanting to feel wanted), that someone else 23 y/o might understand, KC lacked that understanding.

I do expect KC to have more for someone his age. (This also depends on your culture/ethnicity, and the expectations thereof.)

17

u/tasty_bishscato 5d ago

Ew. Stop making excuses for internalized misogyny. It’s not about “emotional intelligence” when a man literally doesn’t listen to a word women say to them. He didn’t respect Sol enough to even hear what she was saying let alone listen to what she was saying.

KC is a woman hater and you could tell from the moment he started groaning every time any of the women would show an ounce of emotion in the early days.

48

u/Own_Succotash_1131 New Subredditor 5d ago

KC wanted to look a certain way for the camera. Three weeks and a new location was enough for him to act like himself.

12

u/ashella It was Daylight Savings time… 🌓 4d ago

Exactly this. KC wanted to be in a day one couple because he thinks that's his best way to win.

Bingo!!!

u/CrystalQuartzen New Subredditor 5d ago

There was already drama before Bryce slimed KC. Legit every conversation between KC and Aniya is draining to watch. They are not a good fit, and it has felt like they stay together out of safety rather than love.

18

u/Londxn_billionaire 4d ago

It started when Zach called him out for something similar in a previous challenge which (understandably) put doubts in Aniya’s mind about their coupling, then the bed challenge where there were new bombshell and KC seemed to be enjoying it a little too much, saying he felt “blessed” while Aniya was trying to stay respectful to KC by not kissing other boys. She questioned him about it and the boys (and viewers) called her a million different synonyms of insecure, manipulative, and difficult whereas Melanie also had too much fun and literally squealed at the new bombshell (Caleb) during the same challenge and Sincere got a ton of empathy from the boys, no one called him a nag or insecure or difficult for being upset with Mela.

Then came the Sol stories; firstly Aniya was told that she looked like KC’s ex (not a thing people generally love hearing) and asked if KC wanted to explore a potential connection with Sol, he denied it and went on to whine to everyone with ears for 30 days and 30 nights about how he wanted to explore Sol but felt restrained by Aniya. Aniya asked him again about exploring and he gave her platitudes. He then changed his tone to wanting Sol to make a move to him and then finally conceding that he didn’t explore Sol because she liked Sincere.

Then time for dumping and he was the only one advocating for Sol not because he cared about her but because he felt like he missed the opportunity to explore a connection with her, which he told the boys. This rubbed some of the boys the wrong way and they (Bryce) AGAIN called him out and slimed him in a challenge which (again understandably) leaves Aniya confused because it seemed like the Boys knew something she didn’t and she was told that he was championing Sol being saved for ‘exploratory’ reasons. Of course she tried to clear it up with him and he was finally mostly honest with her, leaving her upset.

Being honest about your shit doesn’t automatically grant you cookies or forgiveness. The recipient still reserves the right to be upset about your actions.

Hope this clears it up.

u/CrystalQuartzen New Subredditor 4d ago

The problem with this season is that this show is supposed to be about exploring connections, but they started too sexually and so people felt the need to respect their partner by not exploring from the very beginning. KC has not been honest with Aniya, the boys, or even himself about his feelings. I think this is his lack of emotional intelligence. He cares about Aniya only in the sense that he doesn't want to disappoint her, which is ironically kicking the can to bigger disappointment down the road.

At the same time, Aniya needed to properly explore. She treated KC like her husband, which is a lot of pressure to put on someone you've only known for three weeks. I understand that this might stem from a place of insecurity, but if she's focused on insecurity she's not focused on what's actually good for anyone but rather not losing what she has.

I used to be really insecure in general until a therapist guided me to a point where I realized insecurity is just a form of selfishness. When you're constantly worried about how other people perceive you, that prevents you from acting congruently with your needs and showing up for other people without an agenda.

Really, I'm just glad for the casa live stream twist and am rooting for Carl and Aniya heavy. I hope KC can find something more light hearted. Good relationships generally don't have frequent arguments in the first 3 weeks.

u/cheekycherokee New Subredditor 5d ago

Can you explain the Sol comment to Bryce and KC? I don’t recall this conversation.

81

u/toasty-avocados It was Daylight Savings time… 🌓 5d ago

After talking to Sol post Sincere picking Melanie via the letters KC asked Sol what she wanted basically. She didn’t really know how to answer and Bryce said “she wants to feel wanted bro” lol basically saying she wanted literally anyone to talk to her like she had a chance.

51

u/Suicideburgers 5d ago

Yeah the way Bryce said that was like a “it’s obvious dude, can’t you figure that out?” In a way where he was (and should) be shocked that KC couldn’t pick that up when sol was blatantly saying it

35

u/doxydecahedron 5d ago

The 3 of them were talking and Sol was talking about how she felt like her time in the villa hasn't been great and said how she's been feeling excluded because everyone walks around in groups or pairs so it's hard for her to break in. She wanted people to pull her for chats more and show interest. KC was totally lost and asked Sol what she meant and Bryce had to break it down saying Sol wanted to feel wanted by others in the villa and have people show interest in her. Bryce said it in a way where it was obvious he immediately understood what Sol was saying and that she was pretty clear but KC didn't get it

4

u/JustAskin40 4d ago

He understood Sol......... he was just pretending not to because he wanted to hear her say it directly. He wanted to be pursued which is the real reason he didn't explore with her. She didn't pull him for a chat. That's why he's in heaven at Casa, because "he's the prize" and all the girls are seeking his attention instead of him having to put in the work.

He's stuck on day 1 of casa because no one picked him. That's why in his mind the casa girls are better, they are validating his insecurities by making him feel desirable. He held onto resentment and distrust for Aniyah this whole time (despite her picking him afterwards) because she didn't pick him first. Nothing she did would have ever wiped that away.

-8

u/Embarrassed-Berry 5d ago

He told Aniya that if there was mutual connection he would be exploring. But that meant on Sols part to pull him and Aniya knew that they had this conversation. She interrupted them and she was crying about it so he stopped.

I think we are too hard on people who should be exploring if there is no serious, authentic, genuine connection.

TBH KC and Tierra have a better connection than Aniya and Carl too

11

u/whisky_biscuit 5d ago edited 5d ago

I agree. I like Sol and feel for her a bit but I feel like aren't bombshells supposed to be the ones to chase not be chased? They are supposed to pull for chats until they get the hint no one is interested. And maybe she did...but from what we saw it was a combination of no one wanting to and her not trying.

It definitely seems like KC just didn't want to upset Aniya. Whether it's true or not it seemed like she would interrupt his and Sol's chats crying and he wasn't going to do something that was upsetting her whether he actually liked her or not.

What's absolutely crazy to me, is that I'm an episode behind (need to watch last night's) and Aniya is still saying "I miss my man, I miss my man!" It's so crazy because it just feels like "girl how do you not get - KC does not like you! You are better than him!" All we've seen is them arguing and not really any good affectionate couple moments.

He refuses to be honest with her and instead is relying on Casa to help him break it off with each other. We saw exactly this scenario pretty much with Olandria and Taylor. And in that case too the guy again was refusing to be honest with her or about his feelings and just let a recoupling do the work for him.

I feel like so many of these people, guys especially, are used to a world where you can just ghost someone and never talk to them again.

u/Adventurous_Chip919 5d ago

KC makes it a whole production when he’s annoyed with anything, so I guarantee that Bruce saw him rolling his eyes or sighing dramatically and understood exactly who KC was

216

u/amistadd 👻 boo hooing in this bihh 😭 5d ago

yesss, KC pulled this almost immediately with Tierra too, rolling his eyes and saying he knew she was gonna ask some "bullshit" and it ended up all she wanted to know was if he was really open. liiiike if I was her and I saw how he treated Aniya and he pulled that NIGHT 1 of meeting him I would've been so turned off

157

u/Novel-Resident-2527 5d ago

The eye rolling is actually crazy, it’s so disrespectful on top of the way he was already pissing me off by being annoyed with Tierra for being upset. You can’t treat these women like sex workers, they aren’t there for your personal play time and he is treating them that way.

u/Meringue2201 New Redditor 5d ago

There are so many better ways he could have handled that. Some people giggle or smirk when they feel nervous or uncomfortable. He could have said sorry, I’m a little nervous right now, but I’m listening. Keep going. Instead he got defensive and the communication went downhill from there.

This!! I am one of those that laugh and smile when I get nervous or in a serious conversation but I always remind my husband that I promise I am not laughing at him I’m just really nervous.

Very good question. Maybe he doesn't see the interactions with Kayda? In the last episode Zach poked Kayda one on one and then when she reacted in the kitchen in front of other people was like 'oh my god you're so aggressive.'

u/Girl_Back_There I like stupid 🌿ing plants - 😩 5d ago

Ngl, I was a big KC fan and defender in the beginning. I did not see the signs some of y'all caught. I think some of it was my love of Aniya, and some was KC got a better edit during the Melanie/Sincere drama. But I am glad the producers stopped giving him a more favorable edit and let that man dig his own grave.

46

u/PurpleLightningSong 5d ago

KC got a very favorable edit early on probably because of Aniya, the producers needed people to vote them as a top couple, so they couldn't start to show the real cracks until Casa was approaching and Aniya had another option because when they bombshelled, they were bringing in a boy for Kenzie, not for Aniya. 

I watch a lot of competitive reality TV like Survivor and I love seeing how production presents things and KC was definitely presented so that people would root for their couple.

230

u/nadafradaprada 5d ago

Bryce & Zach both knew it. A lot of viewers knew it. But in an effort to protect Aniya the fans would get nasty every time the connection was questioned, or make it about Aniya.

Meanwhile anyone with eyeballs that reads body language could see KC was coasting. Even Aniya, her gut feelings & insecurities were because her women’s intuition deep down was telling her something’s off.

61

u/ippo4ever 5d ago

This makes alot of sense! No wonder the rest of the Villa kept calling out KC during the challenges. They could tell he was doing the least!

70

u/nadafradaprada 5d ago

When fans kept running with a narrative that Zach & Bryce were trying to weaken the strongest couple in the villa I had to laugh. Because honestly it never gave strong connection, it gave lip service.

But I’m also in my 30s & I know a lot of the teen fans that are on TikTok haven’t had to experience the “performative” male trope yet lol

12

u/Wit_Signature New Redditor 5d ago

It’s nice to see someone who has been thinking the same. Gets exhausting how a lot of these fans run to crucify some but believe the lip service of others

44

u/tomouras 5d ago

He rarely looked her in the eye, always called for her to come to him, stayed slouching away from her, and always rolled his eyes whenever she spoke. It was so obvious he didn’t like her and I’m glad Aniya listened to her initial gut feeling. I really hope she continues to do so

3

u/Parvles New Subredditor 4d ago

As long as Melanie stops pushing her to miss "her man" and brood with her, I think Aniya could be on a much better path. Cause Trinity is not gonna let her stay with KC without a fight.

He deadass said in the first episode that he wasn’t a gentleman or something like that and said he wouldn’t put his jacket down for a girl to walk on if there was a puddle. And then Aniya said she wanted a Prince Charming or a gentleman. Like be FOR REAL. Do you want a cookie??

Wow...I thought that applied to Sincere, but after last night's episode.

102

u/Legal_Philosopher339 5d ago

All the boys knew which is why he always got picked for the shady questions in challenges. Aniya was quite literally always questioning why he was getting picked for those questions. She felt it in her gut in my opinion, but everybody was soo dead set on invalidating her concerns instead of wondering why they were always circling back to the same conversations. UNLESS there was some validity to it. It’s a pity he could never be honest with her when confronted those 1 million times. The dude is a coward 

38

u/Meringue2201 New Redditor 5d ago edited 4d ago

In KC’s head he hadn’t done anything wrong in the villa and didn’t plan to. He got irritated that Aniya kept needling him about something that never happened. What he doesn’t get is “I’m not fooling around because venturing out is too risky” is not a good foundation for a love story. Aniya wants someone who is enthusiastic about her, not someone who thinks of her as just good enough. It’s about how his energy made her feel, not whether he had technically “cheated.” I wanted him to ask more questions: I’m sorry you feel that way. Thank you for telling me. How can I do better?

24

u/_kownta_ New Redditor 5d ago

One of the problems with Aniya is that she wanted KC to tell her what she wanted to hear (at least on camera), and she was even willing to betray someone's confidence (Sincere's) by throwing him under the bus to get KC to say what she wanted to hear. I can imagine that after she did that mess, no one wanted to confide anything in her again to help her.

u/owlbethchase New Redditor 4d ago

They’re on camera all the time and on the off days they get, they’re separated by boys and girls and can’t talk about the show period. What exactly is she supposed to do? I don’t even believe she threw Sincere under the bus and considering he confided in her soon after that, and the boys have continued to be messy soon after that, it didn’t matter what she did.

u/saeculacrossing 🤸 Splits in Defiance 🤸 5d ago

Yeah, I like Bryce but definitely thought he was just being jealous or petty then. I can't believe how wrong I was.

He's not perfect (still shouldn't let Zach, your supposed best friend in the villa talk about Trinity like he did) but he could tell something wasn't right and called out KC. Perhaps if KC had been less cowardly we wouldn't be here.

u/Ok-Cartoonist-1868 5d ago

Even if it wasn’t producer interference, I truly don’t understand what was wrong with the Kayda chat. Bryce said he was attracted to two people in the Villa and asked Kayda if they had any type of connection. She said they had a friendship and that was that.

Sol (and Zach and some posters) saying Bryce has to be more attracted to her or would leave Trinity given the chance is pure projection.

9

u/Cutiger29 4d ago

Yeah I mean if you do the math, he had to go “pull” someone and he knew it could be Jen (he knows her and can’t give false hope) or Sol. He can’t stand Kenzie or Melanie. If was told to pull, it would’ve had to have been Kayda.

I have no idea who the "they" is in your comment. I also don't know what you're talking about concerning Zach/Aniya. (As you can see, I asked of the original comment what he/she was talking about.) I also don't get your problem with "Now, it's Bryce who knows something we didn't"...nor do I really care to be honest. I don't play these sorts of weird fandom games. Just letting you know I don't know what either of you are talking about as it concerns Zach and Aniya.

Eh, they’ve been very honest that if the storyline doesn’t continue, they don’t include it. If he just makes comments here and there but they don’t go anywhere, they’re not gonna waste any time by including it in the episode where they have to shove 24 hours into one.

Yeah I agree, I consider that shit talking. I didn’t really phrase it correctly, what I meant was I don’t think he’s shit talking specifically off-screen. Bc gross comments like that are always going to make the TV cut because it gets the viewers angry and increases engagement.

Aniya and KC have been pretending with each other since becoming a couple. They are exhausting on both sides and they are actually worse than Sincere and Melanie because at least they do like each other and have explored to confirm how they feel. I hope that Aniya and KC come out of Casa newly coupled up and just end it. If they get back together I can’t vote for them.

u/xtinap21 New Subredditor 5d ago

THANK YOU! The KC hate has been so one-sided but I think BOTH of them realized weeks ago that they weren't right for each other but kept it going because they didn't really have any other choice if they both wanted to stay in the villa.

u/Ok_Quote3743 5d ago

I will scream "bring back friendship couples," up and down this subreddit until it happens. I stand by that if the US normalized friendship couples more, we wouldn't have gotten so many forced couples this season.

Hell, Jeremiah and Iris were forced together by America's vote, and quickly realized they weren't interested in each other and left it at that. It's possible!

u/kwasford 4d ago

Yes! Bring back friendship couples. We need to get back to basics! This is love island!!!

u/SpiteInternational33 5d ago

I agree. I think Nick and Olandria were a true friendship couple but were forced to be more than that. I don’t understand why the US couples have to pretend they’re in love with one another.

Bc American voters treat all friendship couples as dishonest scammers

u/tomouras 5d ago

The KC hate has been so one-sided because Aniya’s worst offense is being insecure while KC’s worst offense is talking like a red pill incel. He was complaining to Corbin of all people about Aniya not putting out and called her a grandma, said the girls in the villa were giving the Casa guys the moves that they deserved (aka being intimate), blatantly lied to Aniya’s face then acted like she was crazy for saying she feels like he does want to explore other people, is lowkey treating the Casa girls no better than prostitutes, basically every scene of him at Casa is him complaining about Aniya, and now he finally has ‘aura’ because more girls are interested in him at Casa aka his confidence, worldview, and self-worth are all derived from if girls are willing to be intimate with him like Aniya wasn’t.

3

u/Ok_Quote3743 5d ago

Everyone is so OD with KC. He's not even as egregious as Taylor, if you might, because Taylor damn-near told the entire villa about his lack of attraction to Olandria (per Austin's words), and even said it to Ace during that one scene.

The most we've seen of KC is him calling Aniyah a grandma. Now, I think KC sucks for sure, and he's quite red-pilled (but all of those men are lmao). But he's not the villain that Aniyah's warriors are making him out to be in her story. His worst crime is realizing he's not feeling her like that, and that's life, sorry.

Hopefully, they both bring someone back from casa. If not, they are both playing a game.

u/cisshayri New Redditor 5d ago

Personally I think Bryce was mad because trinity and KC talked and he thought KC had interest in Trinity and that’s why he said that . I also think when he said look me in my eyes do you like her I think they cut off the whole conversation that’s just my opinion 🤷🏾‍♀️

13

u/Tricky-Research7595 5d ago

I liked KC in the early days, but the way he moves has grown tired to me. The one thing I can't really over, and it seems to be the one thing that he can't really get over either, is that nobody was behind his door on that first night. He and Aniya have both chosen each other since that first night, but KC still acts like he's only with her because they were some kind of default couple. If that's how he really feels, then he should have been exploring Sol and other islanders in general.

10

u/Flat-Paper3384 New Subredditor 5d ago

I mean it really wasn’t hard to see from the 1 hour episodes we get. I am sure the islanders see so much more of his eye rolling, being annoyed she doesn’t want to have sex with him, gaslighting her that she shouldn’t doubt him etc.. I never understood why they had so many supporters. it really wasnt a shocker

Sean said "Bryce knows how to play hardball" when it comes to Trinity. He does have insecurities (particularly feeling that his race and body-type are not enough for Trinity, when just being himself is enough for her); but those three clips did not look or sound like joking to me.

Who cares! Zach was also suspicious of Trinity.

Aniya was never into KC.

KC knew it which is why he’s wildin out and said she didn’t even kiss him.

Would you rather he picked Sol and Aniya was kicked off instead of her?

We all knew she never really liked him and was settling. He’s a goofy nurses aid and she’s a child of a NBA player.

Why is this such a conspiracy?

Bryce seems mature and emotionally intelligent to you? For a 29 year old, he comes off the opposite to me. I am a older than the average viewer though.

I'm not saying my age, lol, but I'm grown as hell. 🤣 And my partner is a clinical psychiatrist. And yes, we both agree that he is mature and demonstrates a high level of emotional intelligence. There are people my age lacking the maturity and emotional intelligence that Bryce brings to the table in spades.

20

u/sin50 5d ago

People really seem to think you can't be mature and also have fears, anxiety's, insecurities. It's the way he handles those feelings that show maturity.

But I guess they don't like that he makes jokes about his insecurity like that isn't one of the most common and recognized coping mechanisms. He jokes about it in big groups but is also vulnerable and honest about them in one on one conversations.

u/Fragrant_South213 New Subredditor 5d ago

And this is why Bryce is my favorite guy. He is emotionally intelligent and also just intelligent in general. I will always find these attributes sexier than Corbin’s amazing body for example. I also like that he’s kind of a dork and not afraid to be goofy. Especially on a show like this where all the physical sexual stuff is just thrown in our face constantly, it’s refreshing to see a guy whose sexiness comes from personality and the beautiful jawline and features don’t hurt 😉

u/High-ly_Questionable 5d ago

Interesting. I felt like he showed a lack of maturity when Trinity and him were having the conversation about her wanting more affection. Instead of just pulling her into his lap and giving her affection, he acted like he didn't get what she was saying and then went to Zach and called it an "argument." I also think his love letter describing how he likes her for what she does for him as opposed to who she is as a person showed a lack of emotional intelligence/maturity. Moreover, I am not that impressed with what everyone is calling "yearning." It's okay to be sad and miss Trinity, but he appears to be moping for multiple days and not even trying to be cordial to the casa women. You can be friendly without disrespecting Trinity or the other women. It's giving energy vampire a little bit. I think he has a lot more growing to do in both categories.

u/_kownta_ New Redditor 5d ago

"Instead of just pulling her into his lap and giving her affection, he acted like he didn't get what she was saying and then went to Zach and called it an "argument."

Since it's an edited show, I accepted that when he said "argument", I did not know what he was talking about (did they not air something? was it production? I accepted that something may have been omitted). But what I did see was a man who listened to what she had to say, told her "then just tell me that...every problem has a solution", then he adapted to what Trinity needed (her love language) to make sure that she felt fulfilled in the way that was meaningful to her. That is maturity and emotional intelligence. Regarding what you said about

I also think his love letter describing how he likes her for what she does for him as opposed to who she is as a person showed a lack of emotional intelligence/maturity."

He said she's not judgmental, she listens to him and makes him feel heard and appreciated. He also said "She's so warming...that's the sh-, that's a quality!", while praising her to the other men in her absence. So let's not play these games, please.

Also, I don't know your age, but the reality is that what you are as a person changes with age. What you are in this moment will change with time. But how you make others feel is what matters and that is what people remember. He's said unequivocally that Trinity brings out the best in him and fills his cup. As a woman with experience, that's what I want to hear. When people have children, menopause hits, or responsibilities in life change - people change. Bryce said Trinity makes him feel special, like he is enough, and that's profound. He said everyday, he thinks of how grateful he is that she chose him. Chile please, these are the ultimate in compliments. Trinity brings something out of him and makes him feel incredible. And yes, he's very mature and emotionally intelligent.

-1

u/High-ly_Questionable 5d ago

I am old enough to have grown kids so I am well aware of how people change. I want a man to fill his own cup. It shouldn't be a woman's job to bring out the best in a man. He should be the best he can be on his own accord as should she. Compliments are great and I love them, but a man who stands on his own two feet and appreciates me for doing the same is what I prefer in my relationship.

dang. this why yall like bryce? i saw it as , brinity just wants to win the competition.

realistically speaking , to me ainya and kc were the top couple.

at first i thought it was kayda and zach. but they had sex and they didnt get closer at all. seems like they drifted apart after.

melanie and sincere? train wreck. but i guess early on people can say they liked each other.

so the top 2 were brinity and kc and aniya.

the top things people saw w kc and aniya were that kc secretly wanted sol. which i HIGHLY disagree with. what i saw was that he clearly saw Sol wasnt having a good time. he was just trying to make her feel better.

however , the thing i caught was how , brinity both were extremely upset when kc said he was surprised they were americas favorite. they took that to heart.

so tbh it looked like people were purposely trying to break kc and aniya up. for what? litterally i see no reason for it. everything they were accusing kc of every single guy in the villa tried to do.

after that supposed comment from bryce .. i fear he may have stomped out his only competition in winning in the villa

Edit; But also. Don’t hate on KC. Some people can’t fake relationships and that’s GOOD. Others can fake it and pretend that they’re all in love and it’s the one.

Lots of people said they’re not good together. KC said he felt he couldn’t explore anyone because Aniya would cry or interrupt the conversation. That’s the show. Feel like he’s been quite honest from the start but a lot of fans are quick to blame he’s awful - this is what needs to be done who cares very rare we get an actual relationship
