I’m still more so mad about production even forcing them into this situation for fan service views, but kissing outside of a challenge is an active choice on both of their ends. I’m side eyeing them both for simply not waiting until at least talking to Cierra about it, especially since olandria was right there watching Cierra cry over nic
It’s not about wanting to smooth things over and it’s not even necessarily wrong for her and nic to kiss. I’m just pointing out that it was Olandria who told huda that she needed to talk to Hannah before even just chatting with Pepe but then didn’t show the same consideration for Cierra. You’re right, she doesn’t have to, but it makes me question her if she doesn’t also hold herself to those standards
i get what ur saying but huda and pepe weren’t coupled when she pulled him, hannah and pepe were, just like nic and olandria are now. cierra’s coupled up with elan, not nic, so it’s not even the same setup. it’s not that olandria owes cierra nothing, but it’s definitely not the same situation. the kiss might’ve felt fast, but trying to hold olandria to a standard she gave huda in a completely different context doesn’t really track
I actually think the circumstances here are even worse than Huda/Pepe. Whereas Hannah and Pepe were close but had only been in a couple for a short time, Cierra and nic had been together since almost the jump. Olandria also knew how torn up Cierra was over him, knew that she wasn’t fully exploring with elan, and literally made out with him outside of a challenge while huda just pulled Pepe for a chat. If it was wrong for Huda, why isn’t it wrong for her?
i get why you’re disappointed in olandria but this situation is very different from huda and pepe. nic and olandria were forced together by production during casa amor’s full recoupling twist. they did not choose each other at first and were pulled back after being dumped. cierra had already recoupled with elan and moved on physically even if things were messy emotionally. nic was single at that point. casa amor is made for exploring new connections so the kiss was not sneaky or unfair.
huda pulling pepe for a chat happened in the main villa, not casa amor. that was a choice she made, while olandria was put in a situation she did not control. expecting better from her is understandable but it does not mean she did something wrong. she has been honest all season and handled this twist better than most would.
Again, I understand where you’re coming from and I was fine with everything up until the kiss in soul ties. That wasn’t something they were forced to do by anyone and it was not something they needed to do until they had a conversation with Cierra, especially since they’ve already had several kisses during the challenge. I hope this isn’t being taken as me hating on either of them, but I do personally believe that the soul ties kiss specifically was unfair to Cierra
in context i don’t think it was a betrayal. nic and olandria had already kissed in challenges, were forcefully recoupled by production, and were clearly connecting. cierra had recoupled too, even if she wasn’t fully in it, and nic made it obvious he wasn’t waiting. the kiss wasn’t needed, but in casa where things move fast and intimacy is encouraged, it wasn’t some calculated move against cierra
