PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 new stars Emily Chavez, Kenzo Nudo, and Jonah Allman shook things up in the villa soon after they arrived at the island by boat. However, things got even more intense in the latest episode after they had their chance to couple up with the islander. 

Emily wasted no time in getting to know the male islanders and letting the female islanders know that she had her eye on Harrison Luna Hans, Keenan Anunay and especially Marco Donatelli. She even gave Carston 'Bergie' Bergersen a chance, as she was impressed that he was willing to move to the town where the woman he fell in love with wanted to live. Emily's interaction with Keenan Anumay, however, infuriates Vickala 'Kay Kay' Gray.
