This week’s Aftersun will fill in a number of blanks as we get into the nitty gritty coming off the conclusion of Casa Amor! Ciara Miller and Tefi! will talk with those that were dumped from the experience as well as showing the footage of what it was like when the men were selecting whether they would go back coupled or solo!
They talk about how the producers had some tricks up their sleeves with the recoupling that took place after Casa. Ciara shares that she really felt for Trinity when she talked about dating interracially and that whether you are doing that are dating somone across cultures there is a lot that goes on in your head about that. I also felt for Trinity in those moments as it’s her first time as well as doing it on air.
We hear the original men sharing their selections. Most of them seem expected; however, hearing Sincere say that if he had had more time, it would have been Amora! Why does he always make people feel like they are so close to connecting with her.
Amora and Sydney are on set talking about their experience in Casa. They say that Sincere is a people pleaser and he makes you feel a certain kind of way. Sydney wishes that Bryce gave more of himself during Casa, but she appreciates that he was always up front about how he felt about Trinity.
E23 kicks off after the recoupling! Aniya says she wants to go home and the girls tell her that she shouldn’t do that. The Casa girls are laughing at what happened and Melanie tries to calm her down. Melanie gives the best pep talks as she tells her that KC is a Buildabear and does she want to have to build a man together? Aniya is going through it and it will be interesting to see how the Casa girls will integrate with the other women there. They did chat with Parmida letting her know that she was welcome but they just needed a moment. Aniya opts to sleep in Soul Ties where she is still crying. TT apologizes to Melanie and she says that it’s not about her, it’s about KC. Melanie says that she needs to apologize to Trinity and the two of them talk. TT says that she shouldn’t have called her a littlle girl and they both realize that the issue is what KC did.
Corbin asks what went down at the Villa from the Casa guys that were there and that’s when he finds out that Carl and Aniya were close. He says what I was thinking - if she was giving him kisses every morning, then she should have continued to explore with him and picked him! While Corbin finds out what went down, TT tells Melanie that Sincere was doing a lot of cuddling and kissing so Sincere is back in the dog house again! She talks with Melanie and yet again she says that she doesn’t trust Sincere. Now TT and Aniya chat with one another and she says that she doesn’t have beef with her her issue is with KC. Corbin now tells what happened between Carl and Aniya to KC and Sincere.
A text arrives and they hear that there will be a Shake Your Cakes Boys vs Girls. Of course it’s Megan the Stallione who walks in! She comes up to the girls room and says hello - she has been a long time fan of this show so it’s not a surprise that she is back. Kenzie just did a split in front of her and Megan approved! The love that Megan gives to the women is amazing and then she has something nice to say to everyone. She even gives them kudos for how the women come together. Then she goes over to the guys side! Bryce gives her the tour of the boy’s quarters. She gifts the men and women pieces from her Hot Girl Swimwear line. The challenge will take place at the Hot Girl Bakery with a Hot Girl Musical chairs that allows them to dance while finding a cake for their cakes to be the winner. TT wins this. Having Meg moderate this challenge is definitely a great mix. Now it’s the guys turn. Meg’s side eyes to KC and Corbin are next level. KC won the round. She gets to give points to who she wants and of course, she gave it to the girls!
The next challenge allows the guys to get grievances off their face by giving the girls cake to the face. The girls also get the opportunity to seek revenge. Meg says that she feels that some of the guys did pull their girls down to lift other girls up and that wasn’t right. Meg is always going to stand on what she believes in. The girls don’t have cakes to throw they have oversized frosting bags! The girls go after the guys and some of the girls do it in the name of a friend who was wronged. When the guys try to duck Meg tells them necks out, chests out! It was defintiely a sweet revenge challenge. Meg chooses 1 hot girl baker and 2 hot boy baker to go head to head - she chooses Kenzie and Zach. They kneel in front of their own cakes and they have to find the prize only using their mouths to get to it. Zach finds the gift and reads “Revenge is Sweet”. She tells them that America was able to vote for their favorite boy and girl from Casa Amor that didn’t get chosen and they are able to return - enter Carl and Amora. Will Carl and Aniya come back together and what will happen with Sincere now that Amora is in the Villa?
