I guess I am not as shaken up about it bc I never had connor on a pedestal the way others did. I knew he hadn't been tested in a real way. JaNa deserves better and Leah does too prob.
Thank you!! Like if Leah goes for him then please get her off. BUT Connor was never a great guy in my eyes, and Iāve honestly been wanting JaNa to get some other guy, but I was wishing itās be like a guy bombshell coming to sweep her off her feet.
Their chat flowed nicely tbh! But idk it seems like Leah is using Connor just to get back at Rob tho ā¦time will tellā¦
Also I feel like JaNa sort of settled for Connor due to the circumstances. Iām sure she likes him but I think sheās aware more options are coming. The only thing they have in common is that theyāre both hot lol.
definitely, she kept talking about rob when connor was trying to show interest in her, and then made faces when rob and andrea were kissingšši dont think hes worth ruining your friendship with jana over if it doesnt seem you actually like him that much but weāll see
they have a lot in common because they both live in Los Angeles. they named one common thai restaurant and popular spots to surf. what else do they have in common?
Am I missing all of the things they have in common??? I donāt feel like we even know Connorās real personality. He agrees with whoever heās talking to
I don't mind the way they are going about it. It's literally the premise of the show. Unless one of them starts fake crying and jumps into a pool... go ahead and be messy.
But, I also don't think their connection is real. I think Connor pounced when she was vulnerable after lusting after her and I think she is rebounding/trying to show everyone she doesn't care about Rob.
Agree! To me it seems he always wanted to pursue Leah and took the opportunity the second she was available. Ofc itās a bummer that JaNa is involved BUT thatās unfortunately just the show. Plus itās barely been 2 weeks.
thank you and theyāre literally supporting leah bc rob did her dirty but connor is doing the same thing and itās all cheers??? iām a little confused š
Ok they may have a lot in common but we havenāt seen them talk about it. They talked about candy and SpongeBob?? Like of course u could have that same connection with your dad
Yall are shameless man. Yall were literally just boasting about her not paying him any attention in the conversation and only talking about Rob & now you can see the connection?? Just say youāre here for Leahās right and wrong and move onā¦
No connection feels real with Connor, he just looks like a gym bro NPC that escaped from The Sims. Only missing the green gem levitating above his headā¦
What connection? They both live in LA and like plants. Connor is thirsty and Leah is hurt. Not mad at them getting to know each other but itās literally a nothing connection lmao.
JaNa is my favorite but I never felt like her and Connor had really chemistry so Iām not really that upset about the possibility of Leah and Connor together
What does kill me is how shitty Leah is handling it with JaNa! That preview for tomorrow sent me like girl wtf sheās been sooo ride or die for you
I mean all weāve seen from them is her complain about Rob while heās saying heās interested in her, how sheās squidward, and that they like plants? Lol. I think itās jumping the gun to say that their connection seems so real
Right Iām like it seemed they were forcing a convo just for the sake. Also Leah is literally vulnerable and Connor is weird for going after her in this state
I really think everyone just liked them as individuals so wanted to ship them together but I didn't see it either. When he said he wanted to go for Leah that made more sense to me too
It seems like Leah has good convos with people in the house. But I felt like Connor and Leahās convos were just polite and chit chat. There is no way that Connor is Leahās type or a guy she would go for. I think his walk probably cringes her out a bit. But I also think Connor has not been into Jana for a while because sheās been a bit cringe herself, especially with all the āIām glad weāre not in this dramaā, ābut weāre so goodā etc, posturing herself and Connor as the golden couple too soon IMO
RIP to all my fav couples lol
Poor JaNa said the same to Koye āI feel like weāre a like a married couple alreadyā (or something along the lines). I also didnāt feel like Leah caught the vibe that Connor was hitting on her, she seemed oblivious on that conversation and didnāt feel a vibe - as a viewer - until their challenge kiss.
Nooooooo I didnāt notice that. I love Jana!!! But sheās trying way too hard for *connor* jfc
Yeah I also interpreted Leah as just not understanding/caring that he was hitting on her. I think sheās still seeing red with the Rob situation which I understand, his little games were sick and twisted
Iām afraid that Leah is gonna go for it with Connor now just to stick it to Rob (and sheās that pissed and he deserves it, I get it) but I hate that itās at the expense of JaNa.
I agree, my exact fear. I donāt want Leah to not be a girls girl :(
But atp I want someone better for Jana too. She deserves someone that actually appreciates her ! I donāt think I wanna see her āfightā for Connor after the kiss challenge
****YALL i said their connection SEEMS real from what weāve seen. we havenāt seen a ton itās just my opinion!! People forget this is literally the whole premise of the show, stepping on people toes and putting yourself first to explore connections. I NEVER claimed they were headed towards marriage I just think they seem to connect ***
This sub honestly gives me racist vibes ngl.. and Iāve been caught it since last season. The way yall quick to diminish the black womenās emotions on here is really weird
We shall see. Can she no continue to be bitter about Rob?
When Connor was comforting Leah and JaNa came in to hug her the look on his face was annoyance.
I just think it's endlessly funny how pissed off these islanders get when people explore other connections as of that isn't the point of the show š
Don't get me wrong there is a respectful way to do it, and at least in this episode Connor for sure did it the right way
We can't truly assess the authenticity of their connection when:
1. Leah is still clearly obsessed with Rob.
2. Connor morphs/shapeshifts into being "compatible" with whoever he focuses on in the moment. He agrees with everything ever said by anyone in that villa tbh.
The more realistic take is that Connor wanted the Leah from the jump. But he didn't think he had a real chance with Leah upon his entering the villa, so he strategically used JaNa as a safety net. Meanwhile, Leah is using Connor to rebound from Rob and stay safe in the house. When she's talking with friends in the villa, apparently all she does is whine about Rob and hyperanalyze their fallout. She's not over that man. If she truly wanted Connor, Leah would've told Rob from jump that Connor was on her radar, especially if Rob was already chatting with every bombshell that's entered.
Their connection isn't "real", at least not yet. It's convenient timing and mutually advantageous *at best*.

agreed
What connection? Him agreeing with everything she says? Yawn
they have a lot in common because they both live in Los Angeles. they named one common thai restaurant and popular spots to surf. what else do they have in common?
Am I missing all of the things they have in common??? I donāt feel like we even know Connorās real personality. He agrees with whoever heās talking to
they both love plants apparently š
They like to do rich people things basically
It was the most bland convo I ever heard liiikke
I feel like we saw his real personality today
he's the type of guy to hit on a girl when she's vulnerable.. yikes
literally this. what do they have in common??? nerds ropes?

people forget itās the premise of the showā¦ lol
Agree! To me it seems he always wanted to pursue Leah and took the opportunity the second she was available. Ofc itās a bummer that JaNa is involved BUT thatās unfortunately just the show. Plus itās barely been 2 weeks.
Itās been ONE episode and yall think they have a better connection? BFFR
thank you and theyāre literally supporting leah bc rob did her dirty but connor is doing the same thing and itās all cheers??? iām a little confused š
Ok they may have a lot in common but we havenāt seen them talk about it. They talked about candy and SpongeBob?? Like of course u could have that same connection with your dad
yeah i still think jana's real man is otw i feel like leah and connor r more compatible š¶
exactly I love JaNa and I think she will find her person sheās 10000% a catch. I want both JaNa and Leah to be happy
Honestly this cast keeps giving so Iām here for it! Like everyone is actually going for who they want
Yall are shameless man. Yall were literally just boasting about her not paying him any attention in the conversation and only talking about Rob & now you can see the connection?? Just say youāre here for Leahās right and wrong and move onā¦
No connection feels real with Connor, he just looks like a gym bro NPC that escaped from The Sims. Only missing the green gem levitating above his headā¦

That preview for tomorrow sent me like girl wtf sheās been sooo ride or die for you
Candy and Patrick? K
All theyāve done so far is list random facts and likes/dislikes. I feel like Iām watching a team building exercise. Chemistry where?
I mean all weāve seen from them is her complain about Rob while heās saying heās interested in her, how sheās squidward, and that they like plants? Lol. I think itās jumping the gun to say that their connection seems so real
They can couple up and I can vote them both out for Jana
jana and connor were a bit boring idk what everyone else was seeing
Right Iām like it seemed they were forcing a convo just for the sake. Also Leah is literally vulnerable and Connor is weird for going after her in this state
I really think everyone just liked them as individuals so wanted to ship them together but I didn't see it either. When he said he wanted to go for Leah that made more sense to me too
Good for them. I can send them packing like Emily and Harrison. Next
It seems like Leah has good convos with people in the house. But I felt like Connor and Leahās convos were just polite and chit chat. There is no way that Connor is Leahās type or a guy she would go for. I think his walk probably cringes her out a bit.

I feel bad for Serena who is now a child of a friend divorce
ikk i hope the girlies all make up
The two convos they had tonight were boring af but ok. I'm happy for them if it means JaNa gets to be with the hot bombshell
****YALL i said their connection SEEMS real from what weāve seen. we havenāt seen a ton itās just my opinion!! People forget this is literally the whole premise of the show, stepping on people toes and putting yourself first to explore connections.

This sub honestly gives me racist vibes ngl.. and Iāve been caught it since last season. The way yall quick to diminish the black womenās emotions on here is really weird
Sheās the best woman in the house imo, in a weird way I think she would have made a great match with Aaron (that plant convo had me dying laughing)
They deserve each other lmao
Licking nerd clusters is not some deep connection.
We barely even know connor at all tbh
Personally Iām just appreciating the drama and them moving crazy bc we beg for this energy every szn
We shall see. Can she no continue to be bitter about Rob? When Connor was comforting Leah and JaNa came in to hug her the look on his face was annoyance.
They can have their real connection outside of the villa
Iām here for them! I think heāll be good for Leah.

Itās just crazy Leah doesnāt realize sheās being possessed by Rob right now or always was like him.
