Love Island USA contestants competed in their first challenge of the season, sparking jealous outbursts and potentially new couples.

The challenge was called High School Dropouts and saw the women dress as in small skirts and a cropped collared shirt, which was very similar to Britney Spears' outfit in her iconic Hit Me Baby One More Time music video.

The men dressed in shorts, collared shirts, and ties. The game was simple - the Islanders were split into two teams, Team Carmen and Team Hannah.

In each round, one member from each team takes their place in a dunk tank. Each round is a different topic, and the two Islanders go back and forth until someone messes up an answer. That person gets dunked in the tank. The winner gets to pick which Islander they want to kiss.

In the first round, Leonardo won. He chose Anna to kiss, and not Kassy who he's coupled up with. Kassy was visibly not impressed.

Kassy and Anna have been close since arriving at the villa and she took offense that her friend would do that to her. "Honestly f**k her and f**k him," she said in a confessional.

Kassy's jealousy has been raging since the new bombshells entered the villa. Carmen chose Leonardo to go on a date, and Leonardo didn't acknowledge Kassy at all before he left or after. He also spent the night flirting and holding hands with Anna, which drove Kassy crazy.

Leonardo hasn't been helping, saying he's been "vibing" and that she's not his girlfriend in his confessionals.

After the game, Kassy's anger didn't let up. She compared Leonardo to a "little kid with a new toy." "I'm sorry I'm not a toy, I'm a person," she added in her confessional.

Leonardo still didn't understand what the big deal was. "A little besito is not gonna kill anybody," he told the boys.

The rest of the game went smoothly, with Kay Kay choosing to kiss Keenan, which was no surprise since the couple haven't paid attention to anyone but themselves.

Bergie, who seemed to be having a tough time almost being kicked off the first night, had a great time playing the game. Earlier in the episode, he confided in the boys that he didn't have much "kissing experience." Victor, Marco, and Leonardo all gave him pointers ranging from letting the girl lead to how to hold her.

The tips came in handy when Hannah won a round and chose to kiss Bergie. "It was fun," she said about the experience. Bergie won the next round, choosing to kiss Carmen.

"Still don't have a lot of kissing experience but I'm learning," Bergie said to the camera with a smile. Bergie got next choice, choosing to kiss Carmen. "I'm not mad about it." She said

Team Carmen won in the end, letting Carmen have first choice of what boy she wanted to steal from one of the girls.
