Love Island USA, the hottest reality TV show of the summer , has officially premiered, and it's not just the cast that's muy caliente . The drama's already heating up, thanks to a steamy plot twist in the first episode.
Basically, the shows contestants (aka Islanders) thought they'd found love-or at least, a sexy single to share their bed with-and were happily coupled up. ICYMI, here's the breakdown of who's who: Caro and Cashel, Mallory and Weston, Alana and Yamen, Alexandra and Michael, and Elizabeth and Zac.
Of course, that's when the producers threw a flirty wrench named Kyra into their dating game. Love Island host Arielle Vandenberg introduced the sixth girl to the cast and gave Kyra the oh-so-fun job of picking one of the other girl's guys to partner up with. If she didn't, she'd "become vulnerable" to getting kicked off the show.
Sure, Kyra felt bad breaking up young love, but it so became pretty clear that she was into three dudes in particular: Weston, Yamen, and Cashel. (All grrrrreat choices, btw.)

However, when a group of Islanders-mainly the other girls and Cashel-asked her who she was leaning toward, she admitted to Weston and Yamen, but kept mum about Cashel. This was probably because he was wrapped in his OG partner Caro's arms at the time (so, yeah, awkward), though they did have a cute little chat later on.
But, of course, because Love Island airs five nights a week, the episode ended on a cliffhanger before Kyra actually revealed which guy she chose. (As if thousands of people weren't gonna tune in to watch hot people in skimpy bathing suits, anyway.)
New to Love Island? Watch this to learn all the lingo from the OG British version's host Caroline Flack:
No one knows who Kyra picked on Love Island for sure, but the previews of tonight's episode offered some pretty hefty hints. For starters, Michael said, "I feel like it took a lot of people off guard." Next, Alexandra told an unknown Islander off camera, "Like, he shouldve told you when we were talking."
These hints both make it seem like she's choosing Cashel. Why? For starters, he and Caro seem to be the most solid couple in the house from the get-go, so it would catch people off guard (duh). But also, Alexandra could've been referencing the aforementioned group talk with Kyra, saying that Cashel should've told Caro if he was interested in Kyra. (Especially considering the double C's shared their first kiss, and they were the only Islanders to lock lips.)
Oh, and heres what Kyra herself said about the guy she chose: "What attracted me to this boy was the fact that I think hes truly himself and he doesnt care what other people think. I think being unique and being bold is super cool and attractive to me I feel really comfortable with him."
Though the identity of Kyra's new man is still tbd, one thing's for sure: fans are already hooked. So you can bet all eyes will definitely be watching to see who she picks.
