He is so hung up on the fact that she didn't stand behind his door because in his mind, he is thinking that because she's "beneath" him as a dark-skinned black woman, he's owed her attraction and adoration and when he didn't get that, he's internally thinking, "how dare that dark bitch have the audacity to reject me".

This is proven by the fact that literally no other girl was behind that door, but he homed in specifically on what Aniya did.

Because Aniya is a dark-skinned black woman that comes from a well-off family, he thinks that she's gotten "too big for her britches" in a sense and he has been hellbent on humbling her since that moment behind the door and that is why he focuses on it so much.

He enjoys seeing the tears streaming down Aniya's face because he wants to humiliate her for "humiliating" him by not choosing him that first time when he views her as beneath him. He views "Titi" as above Aniya because she is lighter skinned than her.

Now "Titi" is similar to KC in the sense that she too wants Aniya to be humbled. Tierra strikes me as the kind of lighter skinned woman who enjoys being picked over darker skinned women by black men.

There's also the class aspect of it all in which Tierra and KC both appear to have similar upbringings in South Central, whereas Aniya comes from a very well-off family and both Tierra and KC enjoy humbling a girl who comes from a "better " background than they do. This is proven to me by KC bringing up Aniya having a "good family" in his recoupling speal.

Now regarding Aniya's side of things, I'll start with her and KC. Black women, especially dark-skinned black women, are very much encouraged to date within our race and are often shunned for exploring outside of our race. If you watched last season, you know that Olandria did get a lot of backlash for entertaining Nic despite her focusing her attention mostly on Taylor and Jalen (bombshell) and only fully entertaining Nic after the whole "I pick Clarke" thing.

Aniya also got the most backlash when Carl was chosen to stay in the villa instead of Keyon despite the fact that the entire group of girls decided who was going to stay in the villa. I think the girls made a good choice because Keyon has since gone on to bash Aniya on social media for the group not picking her.

Aniya is definitely one of the black women who chooses to mainly date within her race. According to her mother, she has only really dated black men and even at the beginning of this season, she chose to stand behind Sincere's (an Afro-Latino) door. She repeatedly picked and explored KC after that because she probably felt emotionally safest with a black man, as many black women do.

Now here comes in Carl. Carl is a white and Asian man, the type of man that Aniya does not typically go for. In every sense of the word, Carl is perfect. He's mature, he shares her interests, he's played the same sport as her, they converse well, he pays attention to her, and so on and so forth. Even the other villa girls notice how much better she's being treated by this man than she was with KC.

When choosing at the recoupling, obviously Aniya is still hung up on KC because she's known him longer, but regarding race, he's familiar.

Carl is new. He's perfect, but he's out of the safe zone. She's used to black men. She knows black men. She's scared to leave her "comfort zone" in a sense, so she picks the devil she knows. Rather the devil you know, than the devil you don't, right?

So, she chooses to stay with KC. She chooses to stay with what's familiar, expecting for him to do the same, and that's where she went wrong. She picked KC, but he didn't pick her.

To add salt to the wound, he picked what can be seen as an "upgrade" in a colorist point of view. Tierra is just as outwardly beautiful as Aniya, but she's lighter. And he treats her accordingly. Both Tierra and Aniya both wanted him to only be with them, but he received it much better from Tierra than Aniya because Tierra is lighter skinned and more sexual with him.

KC is resentful of the fact that Aniya, a dark-skinned black woman, is not giving him he wants sexually because black women, especially dark-skinned black women, are seen as sexual toys. You can see this in how at the heart rate challenge, the black girls were immediately turned around and had their asses slapped and were told to "go to work" by the boys, whereas the nonblack girls were treated with more dignity and respect.

KC is thinking, "how dare this dark-skinned bitch not be sexual with me?" when Aniya doesn't give him what he wants. He went on and on about this in Casa and also when he saw the images from the letter.

He also shows this by how he found it funny that Aniya wanted princess treatment because he doesn't view her as deserving of it, especially if he's not getting something in return. We see this with how he speaks as if Aniya owes him her loyalty because he "spoke life" into her.

KC is also emulating aspects of Corbin's personality because he looks up to Corbin because he's everything that he is, but light skinned. That's also why he takes pleasure on dogging out Aniya in conversation with Corbin.

But yeah, Aniya felt the same way that many black women feel, she felt that she had to stick beside KC because black men are more familiar and therefore deemed more "emotionally safe" for black women, whereas Carl is a brand-new experience for her that she's not used to. And she strikes me as the type who seems afraid to get out of her comfort zone.

Olandria and Trinity have both spoken on the experience of being dark skinned black women dating/exploring outside of their race (Bryce/Nic Vans) and how scary it is to step out of what you know, so with them to reference, we can further understand Aniya's reservations. Hopefully she's learned her lesson so that when Carl gets back, my client knows what to do!
