'Love Island USA' week 2 heats up with a 'Vanderpump' cameo, feuds, so many love triangles

Things got heated during week two in the "Love Island USA" Fiji villa — in a bad way, mostly.
Two people who failed to build a strong bond (Jasmine and Victor) were dumped from the show, Victor went from "hot commodity" to being in the bottom couple and multiple islanders ping-ponged from one romantic interest to another. And in a reality TV crossover moment, "Vanderpump Rules" star Adriana Madix stepped into the villa this week.
All of this came after week one saw Bergie being given a second chance with two bombshells, Hannah and Carmen; Destiny freeing herself "from something so toxic" with Marco, Kassy creating an alliterative love triangle with Kay Kay and Keenan and Harrison arriving from Adelaide, Australia.
Here are the bombshell moments you missed this week from episodes 6-10.
'Love Island' doubled Bergie's lifetime kiss count
In Episode 2, Bergie confessed he had never shared a bed with a woman before, let alone two, when he had a slumber party with bombshells Hannah and Carmen. This week, we learned Kassy was the first woman he's ever cuddled with.
But with all of the show's games and challenges, an ecstatic Bergie is doubling the number of women he's kissed in his lifetime. When Carmen — who's "always been my number one" — kissed him in the "Raiders of the Lost Spark" challenge, Bergie was on top of the world.
"I think I have the most losses in the villa right now," he told the other men. "Kissed five girls since I got here. Dude, I came in only kissing five girls in my life."
It would be no surprise if Bergie was already hearing wedding bells ringing in his ears. He's learned that Carmen wants to move back to Wisconsin in a few years to start a family and sees herself having four children − all green flags for Bergie. What more could he ask for?
Maybe a less confrontational roommate than Carmen's scorned partner, Victor, to start.
Unfortunately, Bergie's quest for a relationship with Carmen didn't work out. After he convinced the group to keep her over Victor following their reveal as the public's least favorite couple, Carmen pulled another friend-zone card out of her pocket for Bergie.
"I can always get a date with the girl. I just can't get the spark and pursue a romantic connection," Bergie said. "I always get into the friend zone. Why does this keep happening?"
Victor did, in fact, see Bergie as his competition for Carmen
The beginning of the end for Carmen and Victor started Episode 6, when Carmen said she felt "suffocated" by the Spaniard. The woman who signed herself up for a reality TV show is apparently "very private" when it comes to public displays of affection, and Victor was moving too quickly.
The two hadn't even progressed enough to be cuddling, Carmen asserted in Episode 7. So when she pulled Bergie, not Victor, in for a kiss during the "Lost Spark" challenge, Victor started spiraling.
"I know he's no competition for me, for us. I know that," he insisted.
By Episode 8, things were over between Carmen and Victor. "I don’t see it going romantic anymore," she told Victor.
Victor continued on his downward spiral and excommunicated Bergie from the men's club for telling Carmen that Victor recounted her saying she only saw a friendship with Bergie.
"We have (taught) you all the things that we know," including how to kiss, "and I don’t think that ... is the correct way to pay us (back)," he told Bergie. "We all feel super comfortable with the bond that we have — like, we'll die for each other and other stuff, and I think you are not one of those."
Leonardo just couldn't make up his mind
He likes her; he likes her not. Leo's head didn't stop swiveling between Anna and Kassy after week one.
Kassy, whom Leo coupled up with on day one, proclaimed she had "the biggest ick" for Anna and Leo in Episode 4. She quickly got over Leo leaving her for Anna by Episode 9, when she revealed she and Leo kept meeting eyes across the villa.
"I just don't feel that same type of urge (for Anna), if that makes sense," Leo told Kassy during what he thought was a private moment on the balcony.
Meanwhile, his current partner, Anna, and Hannah listened to every word of their exchange from below. Hannah recorded the conversation on her phone in case the footage airing on an international streaming platform wasn't proof enough.
"I feel betrayed by two people, and two people I really trust," Anna told the other women afterward.

'Vanderpump Rules' star Ariana Madix names strongest couple
It turns out Ariana Madix from "Vanderpump Rules" was the perfect person to host the "Mr. and Mrs." game in Episode 8. (See: Scandoval.)
"I can't wait to see who's actually been taking the time to get to know one another because take it from me: It's important to know who you're dating or sharing a bed with," she told the islanders, referring to ex Tom Sandoval cheating on her with Raquel Leviss. "And if they're not the one for you, trust me, it’s better to know sooner rather than later."
She quizzed the couples on their partners' turn-ons, weaknesses and the number of sexual partners they've had. Team Marco and Hannah and team Harrison and Destiny had the most points, and Hannah and Marco emerged victorious. They earned themselves (and their friends Anna and Leo) safety from elimination as well as a double date.
"Winning was great, but Ariana was the real prize," Hannah said.
