Love Island: Beyond The Villafeatures several of the most popular cast members of the season, butone of its stars dominating presence in the first episodes didn’t have the impact she probably thought. While there were some former Islanders that viewers were excited to see coming toLove Island: Beyond The Villaseason 1, others joining the cast were a surprise.
While viewers anticipated seeing Serena Page, Leah Kateb, JaNa Craig, and their Love Island USA partners, finding out that others like Kaylor Martin and Liv Walker were going to be part of theLove Island: Beyond The Villaseason 1 castwas a shocker. With the series explaining that the cast would be living in Los Angeles for the summer,drama was bound to unfold.
Even so, watchingLove Island: Beyond The Villa’sseries premiere made it clear who will be bringing the drama this season, and who will be sticking around for life updates, commentary, and the chance for viewers to see what theirlives are like afterLove Island USA. Whileone cast member dominated the show’s premiere episode, their overall presence was tough to watch.
Kaylor Martin Is Love Island: Beyond The Villa’s Drama Magnet
Her Issues With Liv Walker Were Previewed In The Trailer
As the biggest drama magnet onLove Island: Beyond The Villa,Kaylorwas a dominant force throughout the show’s series premiere. While Kaylor and her relationship with Aaron Evans was one of the biggest dramas ofLove Island USAseason 6, viewers were consistently irritated watching the pair stay together through Kaylor’s tears and Aaron’s lack of loyalty. Still, the couple stayed together.
AfterLove Island USAseason 6, the couple stayed together and moved through their short relationship loudly, with an overwhelming breakup once their time together ended. Now,Love Island: Beyond The Villais bringing them back together for a dramatic season of crash outs and tears, previewed in the show’s premiere.With Kaylor at the center, things were tough to watch.
Kaylor’s Dominant Appearance In The Premiere Was Overwhelming
She Was Consistently In The Middle Of The Issues
Throughout the premiere ofLove Island: Beyond The Villa, Kaylor was at the center of the drama. While her relationship with Liv has been a social media highlight throughout the last year,Kaylor’s issues with her friend were revealed during the premiere. Unfortunately, the drama felt stale and fabricated, with Kaylor pulling at threads about why she was holding anger towards Liv.
Kaylor’s overwhelming screen time during theBeyond The Villapremiere made it feel like she was pushing to be the center of attention, and her drama with Liv felt played out, strange, and out of place. While the former duo may have their issues to deal with,Kaylor airing it out in front of a camera crew felt inauthentic overall.
Kaylor & Liv’s Drama Isn’t As Interesting As The Show Makes It Seem
It Feels Manufactured On Screen
WhileLove Island: Beyond The Villais meant to have moments of drama,Kaylor’s reputation fromLove Island USAfollowing her to a new series isn’t the best look. Despite her likely thinking that having more screen time will allow more viewers to get to know her,Kaylor’s intense yet inauthentic drama seemed like a lot. Coming on too strong, Kaylor was tiring.
SeeingLove Island: Beyond The Villacontinuing to harp on issues that don’t seem real, or giving more attention to problems that don’t seem to warrant it,made Kaylor seem like far more of a villain than she likely is. With manufactured drama driving the show, Kaylor may find herself in a tough spot onLove Island: Beyond The Villathis season.
Love Island: Beyond The Villaairs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on Peacock.
