“Love Island USA”'s Leah Teases Future PPG Projects with Serena and JaNa: You'll 'See More Of Us' (Exclusive)

Leah Kateb, JaNa Craig and season 6 winner Serena Page nicknamed themselves the Powerpuff Girls in the villa — and the name stuck post-show

It's only the beginning for PPG!

Love Island USA stars Leah Kateb, Serena Page and JaNa Craig stole viewers' hearts as they formed a tight bond over their six weeks in the villa, and Leah now tells PEOPLE that fans have not seen the last of the fabulous trio.

"There is a lot in the making for PPG," the 24-year-old teases. "You guys will see more of us. We will be on your screens. We will be on your cell phones. Trust me, guys, we want to see you guys as much as you want to see us."

The girls started referring to themselves as PPG, an acronym for the PowerPuff Girls, early on in the season, and the name stuck — both for fans and within the villa. Leah says that she and Serena and JaNa are "so appreciative of the love that [fans] have given to us."

"I never could have dreamed that you guys would support our friendship the way you have. And it's such a sisterhood, like these are my girls," she continues of her best friends from the villa, with whom she reunited for the first time at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, July 25, along with Kordell Beckham, Kenny Rodriguez, Rob Rausch, Kaylor Martin, Aaron Evans, Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington.

"We are literally sisters — we argue like sisters, but we are also the first ones to be, like, ‘I f---ed up, and I shouldn't have said that, and I shouldn't have [done] that, and I'm sorry.’ And so that's why we're so close. That's why we got through so much s---."

Leah gushes that "the love I had or have for Serena and JaNa is out of this world. I care about them more than anyone — they just supported me so much, and we all just supported each other in every moment."

She also admits that the drama between her, JaNa, 27, and Connor was "skewed" in how it was shown onscreen versus how things went down in the villa — namely when Connor and Leah began exploring the potential romantic connection between them, despite JaNa's interest in Connor, with whom she was coupled up.

"Even when JaNa and I were going through the whole Connor situation, we were still so close during all of it. But I will also say, I was trying to move as respectfully as I could, and I did tell Connor that. I said, ‘I'm not going to disrespect her at all.’"

Noting that she hasn't seen the show back, Leah says, "They probably didn't put me in there saying things to Connor like, 'Don't disrespect JaNa ever.' I'm sure they didn't put that in – so sue me. I don't know what was going on over there, but whatever."

She does admit, though, that it's "so frustrating" because she had "nothing but respect for JaNa" and she feels "very bad about" how the situation with Connor, 28, played out — events that will likely be revisited during the season 6 reunion on Monday, August 19.

"There are things that I probably like shouldn't have done, or shouldn't have said, but at the end of the day, I'm glad everything [went the way it did] because if I hadn't done that, then it's a whole domino effect [and] we wouldn't be where we are right now," she says, adding, "I don't want anyone to ever disrespect or question my relationship with JaNa."
