E5 brings us back again to what took place after the conversation between Melanie and Beatriz. Kenzie finally gets time to sit down with Corbin and he lets her know that she is his type. Melanie then chats with Sincere to complain about how Beatriz talked with her. The rest of the women also take time to talk with Corbin as well. Before the women go to bed, they realize that Corbin did try to get a number of kisses.
The next morning, the men make breakfast for the women as they get ready. When Kenzie chats with Aniya she finds out that Corbin is definitely not someone that is authentically trying to connect with a specific woman. They decide that they will do a meditation class and they get their fellow Islanders together to do it with them.
After Sincere talks with Aniya about not liking how Melanie asked for him to talk to her as a friend even though they are in a couple, she tells him that he needs to talk to Melanie. He shares how he felt with her about how she handled everything and they reach an understanding. Even Melannie and Beatriz talked with one another and came to an understanding between them!
With all the good vibes running around, a text is sent out letting them know that there will be a recoupling and the women get to choose. One guy will be vulnerable after the switch takes place. An additional secret text is sent to Corbin letting him know that he will actually get to pick first!
As the women get ready, we know that tonight’s first recoupling is definitely going to be interesting! Ariana Madix arrives and everyone is a bit tense. She reveals that the women will stay where they are, the men will stand up and that before the women choose, Corbin had a secret text and gets to choose first since he has only been in the house for 24 hours! Corbin chose Kenzie. Aniya stays with KC. Melanie selects Sincere. Kayda selects Zach. Beatriz picks Gabriel. Trinity is the last one to select and it is between Bryce and Sean. She chooses Bryce - I would have been shocked if she chose Sean. If Corbin hadn’t chosen first, I wonder if Kenzie would have chosen Sean? Sean gets dumped from the Villa.
