For the entire first portion of the reunion show, Julia Lemigova sat on the curved couch – which resembled the Love Island firepit more than a typical reunion set – and appeared bracing for a major impact. Julia had a difficult season, frustrating viewers with her treatment of Guerdy Abraira (along with the rest of the cast) and due to comments made by her wife, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, when cameras weren’t rolling. She also clashed with her longtime friend Adriana de Moura, and most viewers sided with Adriana. The reunion trailer hinted at Julia making a shocking statement that caused Adriana to walk off set, but as the episode neared its end, it looked like Julia wouldn’t get a chance to speak. This seemed even more likely when Andy gave Adriana time to explain what caused their friendship to fall apart. (Adriana, as expected, blamed Marysol Patton – but she also blames Marysol for her bunions, parking tickets, global warming, and even the cancellation of her favorite lip balm!) However, in the last few seconds of the show, Julia interjected, saying, “I want to share something that will hopefully explain where Adriana and I stand.” She then revealed, “Adriana and I slept together in the Hamptons.” The reaction in the room was immediate and dramatic – it truly felt like a bombshell had been dropped.
