Love Island USA breakout stars Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and JaNa Craig, aka the PPG, are spilling tea! The trio’s incredible popularity (they came in first, second, and third, respectively) led to many interviews post-villa. True to the no-BS behavior that won over viewers, these girls didn’t hold anything back.
Love Island USA Season 6 just ended two weeks ago, but there have already been tons of interviews, social media feuds, potential breakups, and new hookups. This cast sure is chaotic! Understandably, it’s a little hard to keep up with the daily drama. That’s why we’re rounding up the biggest revelations from the PPG so far.
The PPG throw shade at two-faced co-stars
Though they didn’t name names, Serena and JaNa called out castmates who said bad things about them on socials. JaNa said that people who were super sweet in the villa were now singing a different tune. Teasing the reunion, Serena said, “I’m excited for everyone on the internet popping their [expletive] to stand on that at the reunion!” She continued, “I cannot wait to see if it’s gonna be a switch-up, or if everyone who’s got something to say is gonna stand on that stage and say it with their chest!”
On Entertainment Tonight, Serena threw even more shade by calling out people who make endless TikToks about the show, despite being in the villa for such a brief time. While the girls didn’t name names, interviewer Brice Sander specifically named Caine Bacon and Andrea Carmona. Regarding Andrea’s infamous comments that she could steal Miguel Harichi, Leah joked that she should go ahead and try. Serena added that some things are better left unsaid.
Serena sheds light on her and Kordell’s winning romance
Serena was the only one to have a slight inkling of how big the show might be. And it was by realizing that she, and the entire cast, were doing the most. Using her signature phrase, she added that every member of the cast was doing “their big one.” She even joked that the villa was in flames “90% of the time.”
However, Serena did have a bit of a bone to pick with production. She agreed with Brice Sander that so much of her and Kordell Beckham’s pre-Casa journey was left on the cutting room floor. For instance, they didn’t show the couple exchanging rings, which became a big plot point later on. She also said they had many discussions ahead of Casa, where they agreed not to kiss others outside of challenges. Hence why she was so upset at the infamous “dry humping” clip.
While Serena said Movie Night was one of her worst days, she also revealed it nudged her to forgive Kordell. She explained that the clips proved Kordell always told her the complete truth, even when it was far from pretty. That made her realize his words matched his actions, and he owned up to everything he did. Unlike, say, Aaron Evans, who was exposed for lying to Kaylor Martin.
PPG’s DMs are popping off
Love Island USA Season 6 was incredibly popular and became the number-one show on streaming this summer. Naturally, that means Serena, Leah, and JaNa are getting A-list attention.
Leah said she’s received DMs from pop stars Gracie Abrams and Tate McRae, as well as Kim Kardashian. She and Serena both gushed over Charli D’Amelio’s sweet messages. Serena also posted some gifts she got from the D’Amelio sisters, and Kylie and Kendall Jenner, to her Instagram stories. Both Serena and JaNa said they’re dreaming of a DM from Beyonce.
Leah and JaNa call out Connor
Connor Newsum may have won over Katie Maloney with a dinner date, but it’s safe to say Leah and JaNa are not his biggest fans.
While on the official Love Island USA podcast, Spill The Tea with Nikki & Brie, JaNa and Leah confirmed they didn’t let Connor get in the way of their friendship. In fact, JaNa said it bothers her that Leah was portrayed as anything less than respectful. Leah even apologized to JaNa for pursuing Connor, but this was never shown. However, they both repeatedly called out Connor for not being respectful or honest to JaNa. On Entertainment Tonight, both girls joked that coupling with Connor is their biggest regret.
Leah also revealed that it wasn’t just Connor’s skinny jeans, or his treatment of JaNa, that gave her the ick. He also decided to show her and JaNa a moth that landed on his, ahem, member. Not only that, but he used the word “c*ck,” which, according to the girls, is the worst one he could’ve picked.
Leah and Rob are never, ever, ever getting back together
On Spill The Tea with Nikki & Brie, Leah literally begged viewers to stop shipping her with Rob Rausch. Nikki and Brie backed her up, gushing over how hot and supportive Miguel was. Leah went on to call Miguel a perfect gentleman and a total sweetheart, explaining why she calls him her guardian angel. Later in the episode, JaNa threw extra shade at Rob, deeming him the worst kisser in the challenge. On Entertainment Tonight, Leah even compared Rob to Taylor Swift’s exes and Miguel to Travis Kelce.
Rob himself admitted on the BFFs podcast that, when watching the season back, he realized Leah didn’t have more of a sway in sending Andrea home than anyone else. Maybe he should’ve just taken her word on that at the time, instead of calling her a “batshit crazy” pathological liar? Or maybe he’s only backtracking because he sees how beloved she is by fans? Either way, it’s safe to say that everyone agrees Leah is better off with Miguel.
PPG will stay on top!
Looking ahead, the girls confirmed that they have many projects in the works. When asked about a potential podcast, all three emphasized they’d rather have their own reality show. Before anything else, of course, Serena said she and Leah needed to convince JaNa to move to LA.
Next up, the PPG will appear on the Love Island USA Season 6 reunion, which airs on August 19th. In the meantime, you can catch up on Love Island USA on Peacock.
