Love Island USA introduces new singles, popularly known as 'bombshells' into the villa to stir relationship dynamics and test the compatibility of existing couples. Season 6 has already welcomed a few, while many more are yet to come. The latest 'bombshell' that arrived was fitness model Miguel Harichi.
Just as the previous 'bombshells' settled and forged connections, Miguel entered to change the equations. He felt infatuated with multiple female cast members but was especially drawn to Olivia "Liv" Walker, and at the recoupling that followed, he paired with her.
Things, however, took a turn after he revealed he did not want to settle with Liv and wanted to explore his connection with 'bombshell' Nicole, who was with Kendall. In episode 12, released on June 23, Nicole and Miguel kissed.

Other fans urged Kendall to move on from Nicole and develop a relationship with other female contestants on the show.
"I think Kendall should just move on from Nicole. It's obvious she has deeper feelings for Miguel at this point so he needs to just keep his eyes out for a bombshell. #LoveIslandUSA," one fan commented.

Witnessing Kendall's troubled situation, Love Island USA fans sympathized with him, stating Nicole will get "played" by Miguel eventually.

Nicole confesses kissing Miguel in Love Island USA season 6
In the latest episode, shortly after Andrea's eviction from the villa, Nicole gathered the courage to confess to Kendall that she kissed Miguel. In the private conversation, she stated that she was torn between Miguel and him.
"When we talked he [Miguel] kissed me, and it doesn't change how I feel about you," Nicole said.
She also mentioned that the female cast members prevented her elimination because they wanted to give her a "fair chance" to explore her connection with Miguel. After discovering the truth, Kendall was left feeling flustered.
"Obviously, like, I don't love hearing that at the end of the day, like, it's, you're here for yourself and gotta find the best connection," said Kendall.
Kendall was previously paired with Hannah but felt a better connection with Nicole. Soon, Nicole and Kendall coupled up, leading to Hannah's elimination from the Love Island USA villa. Before their relationship could develope, Miguel expressed his interest in Nicole, while the latter approved of his feelings.
Miguel said while Liv was a "great girl," he did not feel anything more than a physical attraction to her. At the same time, Nicole stated she did not feel "giddy" around Kendall as she did with Miguel. Fans, upset with the budding romance, eagerly anticipate the outcome of Nicole's confession.
Love Island USA, released on June 11, airs Thursday to Tuesday at 9 pm ET only on Peacock.
