When Andy mentioned Serena, Leah responded:

"I want her just to know, like, it's okay to be vulnerable. You don't need to like, put on a strong front, and we're here for her all the time."

For Kenney, Leah's word of advice was: Communication is key. She mentioned he should communicate how he feels during any of the situations. For Miguel, Leah mentioned he was "perfect."

Next up was Liv. For her, the Love Island USA star mentioned that she was "really combative." Leah's advice for Liv was to sometimes "sit back" and give her opinion after learning about the whole story.

When Andy said Aaron, Leah recalled that he unfollowed her. She stated that it was confusing.

Riley asked how the transition from Love Island USA to being one of the most "loved" people on TV and social media felt.

"It's definitely been an adjustment. I think that the first few months were very odd and strange, and I think it's also still an adjustment, like having so many opinions all at once," responded Leah.

However, Leah added that she was "very happy." She mentioned that she thought she was "exactly" where she needed to be.
