MAMANUCA, FIJI: In a dramatic twist on ‘Love Island USA’ Season 6, the villa received a surprise text announcing that bombshells Nigel, Kenny, and Cassidy would each get to choose an islander for a group date. Nigel chose Serena, Cassidy picked Miguel, and Kenny selected JaNa Craig.

JaNa and Kenny’s date turned out to be a romantic encounter filled with flirtation and chemistry. From the moment they sat down, Kenny was seen playfully flirting with JaNa, making her blush and smile. His smooth compliments clearly had an effect on her.

During the date, JaNa and Kenny shared several intimate moments. Kenny was attentive and engaged, making JaNa feel special. However, after the date, JaNa was asked how she felt about the experience. She admitted with a shy smile that she was definitely feeling the flutters when she was with Kenny. Her confession revealed that she was developing genuine feelings for him. Kenny, not one to miss an opportunity, added confidently during picking JaNa for the date saying how JaNa doesn’t have anyone in her bed, so she might as well be with him.

Connor Newsum made his decision during one of the recoupling ceremony where he had to choose between JaNa Craig and Leah Kateb, and he ultimately decided to couple up with Leah. His choice didn't come without controversy.

Connor praised Leah, saying, "I wanna couple up with this girl because she makes me laugh, and when she laughs, that makes me smile. This girl really makes me feel excited." He went on to describe his connection with Leah as the strongest he'd felt since joining the villa, adding, "It really feels effortless." These compliments were hard for JaNa to hear.

Connor further irritated JaNa by adding about their past interactions, saying, "It's weird to meet somebody that you might have brushed shoulders with, just not known it in the past... so…" He concluded his speech by asserting, "This is not a difficult decision."
