Kayda reveals the mystery dipping sauce was honey all along
May the record show: Kayda was dipping her apples in honey.
Kayda delivered the news with a no-nonsense shrug. "One thing Love Island I need to bring up. I was never eating f*****g apples with ketchup, OK?" Kayda revealed. "That was motherf*****g honey, OK?"
Upon facing the flurry of comments about Kayda's unique breakfast pairing, the Love Island USA star couldn't help but agree with some of the comments after watching the season back. Something about the lighting in the Villa and the shade of honey that Zach Georgiou was serving up created a confusing illusion.
"Zach would literally make me fruit with honey, and I had honey on the side that day. And it does look red. It does look like motherf*****g ketchup, but it's not. And I don't even like ketchup like that, so it's, like, I knew I wasn't eating that."

Still, Kayda understood where fans were coming from after playing the season back. Kayda concluded, "Literally, when I got out [of the Villa], I was like, 'Wait, what the hell?' I was like, convincing myself I was eating that. Literally."
After clearing that up and giving fans some of her Islander makeup tips – and receiving FaceTime calls from Zach and Season 8 winner Trinity Tatum — Kayda gushed over how thrilled she is about her next chapter beyond the Villa.
"I'm excited for everything coming up in my life. I'm excited for you guys to follow along and see. Thank you, guys, so much for everything, for the support throughout this whole season. I honestly had one of the best summers of my life. It was genuinely, genuinely an amazing summer. I met amazing people."
After revealing that Zach was sadly in the United Kingdom, she confirmed she's happy to be back in Los Angeles. "I'm feeling amazing again. Thank you so much, and we'll talk soon."
Stay caught up with Kayda and the rest of the Islanders by watching the Season 8 reunion of Love Island USA on Monday, August 31 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET, dropping exclusively on Peacock.
