In the latest episode of Love Island USA Season 4, a recoupling round was held where Jeff picked new entrant Nadjha as his partner.
This time, the guys got to choose their partner during the recoupling session after three newcomers entered the villa. Nadjha, Katherine (Kat), and Jared received islander-cooked meals per their wishes. For Nadjha, Jeff cooked dinner, and Isaiah made the dessert.
On her respective dates with the two boys, she instantly connected with Isaiah, who recently had the chance to be with Sydney at Hideaway. But after spending time with Nadjha, Isaiah found it challenging to choose between her and Sydney.
During the recoupling round, Jeff got the first chance to pick his partner and chose Nadjha. The latter didn’t seem pleased with the decision as she wanted to be with Isaiah. She was even seen shedding tears for him, which didn’t go down well with the fans.
Love Island USA fans react to Nadjha's disappointment
Viewers shared their opinions on Nadjha crying over Isaiah on Twitter. They found it weird that she broke down for someone she had known for just a few hours. Some fans even felt bad for Jeff as he might not connect with his partner as he thought he would.
After the recoupling round, Nadjha was seen talking to Zeta about Isaiah. She told the OG islander that she came to the villa for Isaiah even after knowing he shared a string bond with Sydney. Zeta stated that she loves Sydney, but a “connection is a connection.” Seeing Nadjha cry, Kat came to her to console her.
In a confessional, a crying Nadjha said:
“It’s just like so stressful like I think I am crying cause I am overwhelmed. Wanting something and like not getting like a fair chance at it. I don’t know it’s really hard, it f***ing su*ks and it’s like I am just not used to like getting treated like that.”
Meanwhile, fans have slammed Nadjha for wasting tears over a 21-year-old boy and ignoring Jeff. Take a look at Love Island USA fans’ reactions:
Jeff’s speech for Nadjha on Love Island USA
In Episode 17 of Love Island USA Season 4, the boys had to give a speech describing their connection to the girl they would pick. Jeff chose Nadjha after reading out his speech:
“She came in looking like an angel tonight. She match my fly, so we could fly together.”
Although Nadjha was not happy with the recoupling decision, she was seen trying to figure things out with Jeff. She wanted to partner up with Isaiah, who would have picked Nadjha given a chance before Jeff. Isaiah eventually chose Sydney, with whom he has been coupled for a long time.
Meanwhile, Sydney felt threatened after seeing Nadjha cry over Isaiah. She told Jeff they would have a “problem if she [Nadjha] makes any further movement.” Jeff was also concerned about his decision to pick Nadjha as she didn’t show interest while talking to him. He asked for Chazz and Kat’s advice, and they both assured him that the newbie would open up to him with time.
While the love triangle is set to bring in a lot of drama, Love Island USA opened the voting lines for the upcoming Casa Amor segment. Only time will tell whether relationships and friendships will take a toll during the next segment.
