MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: Many viewers of 'Love Island USA' are questioning the authenticity of Nicole Jacky's relationship with Kendall Washington. They speculate that Nicole might be using Kendall as a safe choice rather than pursuing genuine feelings.

When Miguel Harichi entered the villa, Nicole seemed far more physically and sexually attracted to him. She was vocal about her uncertainty with Kendall, stating that she wanted to explore her options. Nicole even confided in the other girls, expressing that she didn't feel as much chemistry with Kendall and saw their relationship more as a friendship.

Things took a turn when, according to fans on Reddit, Nicole's reaction was strong, likely because it bruised her ego—she enjoyed having two men vying for her attention. At that time, she claimed to be "50/50" between Kendall and Miguel. Interestingly, she received understanding for her indecisiveness, while Hannah did not get the same leniency.

Furthermore, Nicole's choice to stick with Kendall seemed to solidify after witnessing Miguel kissing Leah and showing interest in her. It appeared that Nicole realized Miguel, being more of a "fboy," would have a wandering eye in the long term. On the other hand, Kendall represented a safer bet to potentially win the game.

Despite settling with Kendall, fans argued how Nicole's excitement about him doesn't seem genuine. They appear to be comfortable together, possibly strategizing that they could win the money as other couples falter during Casa Amor. Viewers have noticed moments where Nicole seems to get the "ick" with Kendall, indicating discomfort or dissatisfaction. Her sudden realization of chemistry with Kendall only after Miguel's involvement with Leah strikes many as suspicious. Many viewers believe that Nicole's decision to choose Kendall was driven by strategy rather than genuine affection. The question remains: will Nicole truly give Kendall a chance outside the villa, or is she merely playing the love-game to secure a win?

When Miguel entered the villa, sparks flew between him and Nicole. Their attraction was evident from the start, with Nicole showing clear interest in Miguel’s charm and physical appearance. The pivotal moment came when Nicole and Miguel shared a kiss. This kiss was significant because it highlighted the chemistry between them. Nicole seemed genuinely excited and drawn to Miguel, but later looked regretful of her actions. 

Nonetheless, Nicole’s kiss with Miguel caused a stir in the villa. It left Kendall feeling insecure and raised questions among the other islanders about Nicole's true intentions. The kiss also marked a shift in Nicole’s behavior, as she began to weigh her options more carefully, torn between her attraction to Miguel and her established connection with Kendall.

In Season 6 of 'Love Island USA,' Kendall Washington was left frustrated after Nicole Jacky revealed she had kissed Miguel Harichi. Nicole felt a strong attraction to Miguel and decided to be honest with Kendall about her feelings and the kiss.

During their conversation, Nicole explained that she wanted to explore her connection with both Kendall and Miguel. Kendall, though clearly disappointed, listened as Nicole shared her thoughts. In a confessional, Kendall expressed his frustration, saying, "Obviously, you don't want to hear that. I just didn't think it was at this stage, where they're like making out. Looks like America was right. You guys were right back home about the connection. Apparently, I f*****g way missed that."
