“Some people do press and some people are pressed.” That was Kara Leona Bass on Instagram at 11:35 a.m. ET on Monday, November 9 — about eight and a half hours before 90 Day: Hunt for Love episode 6 aired. She named no one. She did not have to: every name on the fandom’s suspect list comes from the messiest triangle of the season — Kara, Josh “JT” Thompson and Skyler Beale.
Here is everything we know about that triangle — from the necklace on night one to the post that landed while TLC was not even featuring her.
The Necklace She Handed a Stranger
Kara arrived in Puerto Rico fresh off 90 Day: The Last Resort, where her ex-husband Guillermo Rojer declined to recommit — citing her adult-content career as the reason he could not move forward. On singles night, she did not wait around. She walked up to JT, a franchise newcomer, and handed him her necklace as a sign of interest. Then came the number that gave her pause: JT is 27. Kara is 33, and her ex is the same age as JT, which made her question whether he is mature enough.
The Hot Tub Confession That Gave JT Pause
On their first date, in the hot tub, Kara told JT about her income streams — television, music and what she calls her spicy platform. JT did not pretend to be fine with it. He told her directly that he would not be okay with a partner creating that kind of content. He did not reject her outright, but the pause was real — and for Kara, it carried an echo. Her career had already ended one marriage.
JT opened up too. He told Kara about a childhood where, in his words, “my mom struggled so f**king much. We were homeless at one point… We were living in our car.” He got emotional talking about not having a dad. Whatever fans think of the fight that followed, nobody is arguing about that confession.
The Pool Gossip Nobody Can Agree On
The triangle turned into a lie trial at the pool. JT’s version: Emma Perry pulled him aside and asked, “How do you feel about [Kara] being in Jamal’s room at two/three in the morning all the time?” Emma’s version: JT raised the late-night chats himself, and she never gossiped about Kara at all. Kara confronted them ahead of episode 5, and her verdict was blunt: “Someone’s lying, and if it is JT that’s lying, that’s a problem. I don’t like people who are lying on women.” She added that Chloe Fabiano had told her she is putting space between herself and Emma. The fight over who lied about the 2 a.m. chats split the fandom into Team JT and Team Emma, and neither side has budged since.

Then came the turn. TLC’s listing for the November 2 episode said Kara turns her attention to Skyler after JT makes a misstep — and as of now, neither Kara nor JT has confirmed a relationship, on screen or off. Skyler Beale is a franchise newcomer, and the show has revealed little about him beyond his place in this triangle. That is the honest state of it: a few dates with JT, one ugly rumor, and a new man in the frame.
Off camera, the other suspect in Kara’s orbit is Guillermo. On the Decisions, Decisions podcast in October, Kara said of her estranged husband, “He had a million and one dreams, but like it never was coming to fruition.” Complex reported that Guillermo answered under a clip of that interview: “Here we go with the crazy story…” The two are separated and co-parent their son, and neither has publicly confirmed a final divorce.
The Post That Named No One
Which brings us back to Monday morning. Kara’s “pressed” line went up on Instagram, Facebook and Threads with the tags #huntforlove, #press and #extra — hours before an episode that did not even mention her. That night belonged to Emma and Jamal’s split fears, a workshop with Chloe and tough love from coach Tanya Mitra. Kara still owned the conversation without appearing in it. The next Hunt for Love airs Monday, November 16, at 8 p.m. ET, and TLC has not released its title or synopsis yet.
So here is the question the whole triangle comes down to: if you were Kara, would you give JT one more date to explain the pool gossip — or has Skyler already won by simply not being part of the lie?
