Love Island USA had some hilarious moments in its latest unseen bits episode. The comedic 17th episode of Love Island USA season 5 was a breather from the intense drama currently going on in the series. The season's strongest couple is toppling to the ground as Keenan Anunay and Vickala "Kay Kay" Gray fill each other with envy by getting to know the new bombshells Mike Stark and Imani Wheeler. While there's been other drama this season, the fight between the two is the most devastating because they seemed dedicated to each other since day one in the Love Island USA villa.
Meanwhile, Destiny Davis is also green with envy though she hasn't been with her partner Jonah Allman for very long at all. Imani is very much interested in Jonah, and Destiny hated watching the two get to know each other. However, Mike is also interested in Destiny, and she had no problem taking him to chat in the Soul Ties area, which Kay Kay thought was an inappropriate spot for Keenan to talk to Imani. Before all the new drama began, Anna Kurdy self-eliminated from Love Island USA, and some of the unseen bits focused on her last days at the villa.

Love Island USA Season 5, Episode 17 Recap
Love Island USA season 5, episode 17 began with the islanders pretending to be malfunctioning robots in a simulation. It's unclear what sparked these behaviors, but they kept the act going longer than expected. The episode also featured comedic moments from Emily Chavez, Kenzo Nuda, and Jonah's first dates, including Destiny talking about her love for animals with Jonah for a pretty long time.
Meanwhile, with Anna still on the island, she and Hannah hosted Love Island Live, a show where they approached various islanders to ask them questions about themselves and their opinions on various topics. With Emily, Kenzo, and Jonah in the villa, Anna and Hannah made the three their special guests for the episode, and Emily shared that her biggest turn-off is men with bad oral hygiene.
One of the funniest scenes occurred between all the women in the Love Island USA villa. There was no drama, as Kay Kay gave all the female islanders a crucial twerking tutorial. Kassy Castillo immediately got the dance move down, while Carmen Kocourek took a little longer to learn but had Kay Kay impressed when it was time to show the women what she'd learned. Anna initially sat the lesson out but joined in at the end, showing Kay Kay what she's got.
In some unseen clips from Anna's self-elimination, she had everyone dancing as a way to avoid them feeling sad about her leaving. She then struggled to exit the villa, nearly tripping, getting her suitcase down the hall, and barely was able to pull the exit door open. With Anna gone, Hannah decided to end their live show with one final episode, asking everyone about their favorite Anna moments. For Leonardo, it was when Anna built the barrier war in their bed to avoid being near him while they slept.
Toward the end, Love Island USA revealed some sweet and intimate Keenan and Kay Kay moments from before the tension began. Later, Destiny and Kassy demonstrated where the imaginary forcefield around the villa that kept them there was as Kassy begged for someone to get her out of the villa. They even made friends with a crab, but when it died, they hosted a funeral with Emily and buried it in the sand.
Finally, the female and male Love Island USA contestants went head to head in Beach Hut Battle, in a spelling bee where the female islanders won. The episode ended with Beach Hut Blitz, where the islanders acted as salespeople trying to sell a woopie cushion with Unseen Bits written on it.
