Summary
- Carmen and Kenzo’s relationship is at risk of ending due to a disagreement during the heart rate challenge on Love Island USA.
- Kenzo felt disrespected and angry when Carmen danced intimately with other male islanders during the challenge.
- Carmen is concerned that Kenzo’s reaction mirrors patterns of behavior she has experienced in past relationships, jeopardizing their chances of making it through the show together.
Carmen Kocourek and Kenzo Ludo are having their first disagreement at the Love Island USA villa, and it could end their relationship. Kenzo entered the villa as a bombshell with Jonah Allman and Emily Chavez. While the other two bombshells have since gone home, Kenzo remains and has continued his connection with Carmen. He even asked her to be his girlfriend during their first date, and she gladly said yes.
During Love Island USA‘s Casa Amor, Carmen only briefly got to know Robert “Rob” Kausch because he was persistent in getting to know her. However, she still slept outside instead of in a bed with him, and Kenzo made no attempts to get to know any of the female bombshells. When Carmen returned to the villa by herself, Kenzo was so happy to see her that he ran to her and picked her up before kissing her in front of everyone. Unfortunately, in the recent episode, things went south for the two.
Carmen’s Heart Rate Challenge Behavior Made Kenzo Upset
During the latest Love Island USA episode, the islanders participated in the heart rate challenge. The challenge has islanders dressing up in pretty revealing costumes and dancing on each other to see which islander raises whose heart rate the highest. So far, Love Island USA season 5 only covered Hannah Wright and Carmen’s dances. Hannah’s partner Marco Donatelli loved watching her dance on the other islanders and especially loved when it was his turn. Unfortunately, Kenzo wasn’t as excited watching Carmen dance with the male islanders.
It was clear from the look on his face that he wasn’t enjoying any of it. He admitted during confessional that he felt disrespected and thought Carmen was taking it too far. He even wondered if she was purposely trying to make him mad by being very intimate with the other men. When she was done, and she went back inside to watch the guys from the balcony with Hannah, Kenzo confided in the male Love Island USA contestants. Isiah “Zay” Harayda told him it was just a game, but Kenzo was still angry, and Carmen could tell that he wasn’t happy about what she’d done.
Why The Heart Rate Challenge Could Lead To Carmen & Kenzo’s Split
Carmen and Kenzo have had no issues at the villa before the heart rate challenge and seemed like the perfect couple. They even seemed likely to make it to the finale with Hannah and Marco. Unfortunately, they might not recover from the challenge. A sneak peek of the next Love Island USA episode reveals Carmen tearfully chatting about the incident with Kenzo.
She then confides in the other islanders about it and says she’s dated guys who react like that in the past, and she doesn’t want to do that again. If Kenzo and her can’t reconcile and he can’t prove that he’s not like the guys Carmen has dated in the past, then there’s no chance the two will make it out of the Love Island USA villa together.
