Six new women were also introduced, and their interactions with the men played out in real time for their partners to watch.
The development comes against a backdrop of growing tension in the villa, with the contestants dealing with gossip and sniping among partners and friends alike.
The Casa Amor Twist
With tensions already running high, the episode started with the men and women separated for the ‘Hearts on Fire’ challenge. The competition had a twist: instead of performing for each other, the men watched performances by the new Casa Amor signings.

Another newcomer, Parmida, received a calmer response from the men. At the same time, Jaiden arrived with handcuffs and used them to cuff Corbin, upsetting Kenzie as the two had talked about the tension in the villa earlier in the episode.
The situation got worse when Corbin was heard saying, “I’m getting back with someone else.”
The atmosphere in the villa
Back at the fire pit, the women watching the live feed became increasingly restless as the interactions with the newcomers continued.
After a day of watching how the men felt comfortable with the new entries, the villa cast was told that the men would stay at Casa Amor for a few more days.

When the TV was turned off, the women could still hear the Casa Amor chant and began shouting back, escalating into a full-blown exchange between the two locations.
The first day at Casa Amor ended with none of the men forming a new couple.
In the preview for Monday’s episode, the women will likely relive their Casa Amor experience and meet twelve new men to put their relationships to the test.
According to USA today, Peacock has announced that a special screening of the two-hour episode will debut Monday night in 28 select theaters in major cities across the country.
Viewers will “see the breathtaking moments from Casa Amor and witness the surprising twists, tests and unforgettable reconnections in real time,” Peacock said.
