Nic and Olandria is the love story we all wished for but never truly saw coming… until now, and it looks like Taylor has some mean competition. Taylor was seen kissing Clarke during Casa Amor, but Nic treating Olandria like a princess shows how lazy Taylor was.

Nic paid Olandria tons of compliments

Nic gave Olandria so many compliments in the space of a day. He told her she’s “one of the most attractive and beautiful women he’s ever seen,” and um, admitted he had actually told Taylor, who she’s coupled up with, this in the first three days.

He then said, “I want to get to know you,” and made Olandria react with a shyness and giddiness we’ve not yet seen in her before. Meanwhile, Taylor has barely uttered a word to her in weeks, and tried to make out he was a “slow burner”. Yawn.

He gave her a VERY romantic kiss

Nic and Olandria went for the whole lip-biting smooch that Love Island USA has quite literally never seen. It was the most romantic thing ever, and appeared to be something he’s been hoping for ever since saying she drew him in from the first episode.

Even though Taylor and Olandria have kissed before, people were convinced they were smooching as though they didn’t really like each other, despite them getting locked in from the start. And that was in a challenge, by the way.

Olandria was taken on a romantic date

Okay, so we know the Love Island USA producers set up Olandria and Nic’s date, but the way he treated her was so sweet. Taylor, however, previously admitted he wasn’t feeling a strong attraction to Olandria – and still proceeded to kiss her after her date with Jalen.
