About this episode

We all fell for JaNa Craig on Love Island USA last season, and today, she’s revealing what really goes down in the Villa. From swerving producers’ “suggestions” to run-ins with HR and how those Islander cliques actually form, JaNa is spilling all the behind-the-scenes secrets. And trust—she is NOT holding back. As if that ain’t enough, she’s dishing on the new spinoff Beyond the Villa, including lasting love with Kenny, which castmate she’s actively dodging, and why Keke just might be the next PPG recruit.
