MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 islander Kordell Beckham was trying to explore romance with his connection Serena Page, but she had some other plans. In the teaser of the upcoming episode, Serena friend-zoned Kordell just ahead of the first elimination in the villa.

Kordell was hoping to deepen their connection and become an actual couple in the villa. However, Serena didn't view Kordell as a romantic partner and said, "Look it's just so early like I do really like the best relationships come from like when you were like truly friends... like best friends first."

Kordell understood what Serena was implying and responded, "Trying to best-friend me?" Serena friend-zoning Kordell could jeopardize his position in the villa, as he hadn't explored many other connections. His commitment to Serena might cost him, especially since Ariana Madix announced that the male islander without a partner would be eliminated in the recoupling ceremony.

Who was Serena Page's first choice in 'Love Island USA' Season 6 villa?

'Love Island USA' Season 6 star Serena Page never chose Kordell Beckham to be couple-up with. Serena was attracted to Coye Simmons and wanted to couple up with him only. However, Coye had three women vying for his attention and ultimately chose to be with JaNa Craig.

Serena and Hannah Smith were left without partners, as were Kordell Beckham and Kendall Washington. Peacock show host Ariana Madix asked Kordell to choose his partner, and he chose Serena. He revealed that he first noticed Serena's smile and loved the way she laughed.

'Love Island USA' Season 6 islanders Kordell Beckham and Serena Page tried to learn more about each other to see if they were a perfect match. During their conversation, Kordell discussed his aspirations for a modeling career and revealed that he also wanted to become an actor.

Kordell further mentioned that he wanted to be featured in a cheese bits ad. His long-term goals seemed to catch Serena completely off guard, causing her to burst into laughter. Serena later admitted that she didn't feel a connection and that there was no chemistry between them.
