Spoiler alert: Spoilers for Love Island USA Season 8 ahead. To say that the men of Love Island USA Season 8 are getting messy would be an understatement… in a big way. Season 8 is getting hotter and more chaotic with every single episode β and the boys going to Casa Amor has many cast members revealing their true colors. And while nobody on the show is a saint, the men of LIUSA Season 8 are truly moving in treacherous ways. But who is the biggest villain? Here’s the ranking from where I’m standing.
Listen, this isn’t to say that the women of LIUSA Season 8 have been complete angels. It’s Love Island, OK? Being messy is kind of the name of the game. However, you can’t deny that some of the guys on this season have been truly villainous β whether it’s repeating the same pickup line to three different women, lying about their connections with other Islanders, or calling their match a “grandma” for not hooking up with them. And while others have seemingly been on their best behavior (and that’s a stretch), the masks have just started to slip.
With the guys entering Casa Amor (a whole separate house full of new Bombshells) and being separated from their matches, we’re bound to see them get even messier. And while things are bound to change β and more duplicitous behavior is primed to take place β here’s the current villain ranking of the LIUSA Season 8 men.
- Caleb

Caleb entered Love Island as a Bombshell, and aside from a brief fling with Kenzie and pulling Kayda for, like, one chat… he hasn’t done much. That’s a good thing. He cooks Jen whatever she wants for breakfast, and was genuinely sweet to Sol after Kenzie dumped him and they were coupled together.
Currently, he’s just this quiet, sweet-demeanored beefcake with a Southern accent. Right now? Not a crime. Keep doing you, Caleb.

Oh, Bryce. While I can appreciate how funny he is, and how likeable his coupling with Trinity is, I do have some bones to pick with this one. While paired with Trinity, he was open about wanting to explore a connection with Kayda. Not a crime, until you realize that Kayda has been matched with his best friend, Zach (who he also cuddles with and shows his penis to… I’m not kidding). While the connection didn’t go anywhere, there’s something icky about trying to take your best friend’s match β especially since Kayda passed on Bryce in the past. Move on, bro.
- Zach π©π©π©π©

At this point, Bryce and Zach should just be together β but I digress. Zach has been paired up with Kayda from the jump, and while he consistently tells her that he’s locked in on her, he expresses something very different to the boys, and is foaming at the mouth for a Bombshell. Not to mention, immediately after being intimate with Kayda in The Hideaway, he asked if she would be upset if he explored connections with Bombshells. Again, being open is not a crime on Love Island… but bringing it up immediately after being intimate with someone for the first time is a villainous move, IMO.
- KC π©π©π©π©π©

We were rooting for you, KC! At first, he was locked in with Aniya but was adamant about exploring other connections in the villa β notably with Sol. And when he went to Casa Amor, his commitment to Aniya seemingly vanished within, like, four seconds. While he did communicate to Aniya that he wanted to be more open, the way he went about it in Casa Amor was blatantly disrespectful: it didn’t take long for him at all to hook up with another girl and act like he completely forgot about Aniya. A true fall from grace.
- Corbin π©π©π©π©π©π©π©
-
I have no problem admitting that Corbin is truly hilarious β but that man is a walking, 6’4″ red flag. Not only has he used the same pickup line (“Can I get a kiss?”) on basically every girl in the Villa at this point, he completely abandoned his connection with Kenzie the second he got into Casa Amor β even going so far as to say he was going back to the Villa with someone else instead of Kenzie. His eyes are consistently looking out for a new, shiny toy, completely disregarding his connections.
I’ve gotta give him credit, though: Corbin is unapologetically a villain. Respect… in a weird way.
- Sincere π©π©π©π©π©π©π©π©π© x10,000
-
Or should I call him Deceitful!? Sincere’s behavior on LIUSA has been truly wild to watch: He completely abandoned his connection with Melanie as soon as Sol entered the Villa, then lied to Melanie about kissing Sol when she asked him to be honest. Sincere also continuously lied to Sol about his relationship with Melanie, leading Sol on before eventually dumping her for Melanie.
Sincere’s behavior with Sol and Melanie wasn’t respectfully exploring a possible connection β at the end of the day, he played with both of their hearts. He got emotionally intimate with two women, lied about it, and pitted them against each other β which is, IMO, true villain behavior.
We’ll see if he shapes up as Casa Amor continues β but for now? I’ve got my eye on you, buddy.
