MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: Coye Simmons, known as the ladies’ man of 'Love Island USA' Season 6, entered the villa with high hopes but was evicted on Day 4 due to his "low energy" and one mean remark which he made on his connection JaNa Craig, made during a game about body counts. The game, which aimed to expose the contestants' past relationships, took a dramatic turn when Coye expressed his surprise and disappointment upon learning that JaNa Craig's body count was 22, significantly higher than what he had expected.

Coye's reaction to JaNa's revelation sparked immediate tension and upset between the two. He openly questioned JaNa's honesty, stating, "I swear to god she lied to me." This comment not only undermined JaNa's credibility but also portrayed Coye in a judgmental light, particularly considering his own disclosure that he had been intimate with 150 people.

The fallout from this incident was profound. JaNa, visibly hurt by Coye's lack of trust and his harsh judgment, confronted him privately. She pleaded for more openness and effort in their relationship, expressing her frustration at Coye's unwillingness to engage emotionally.

During the subsequent recoupling ceremony, JaNa ultimately chose to partner with Connor Newsum instead of Coye. She explained that she needed a partner who would respect her and be willing to work on their connection, which Coye had failed to demonstrate. This decision left Coye without a partner, leading to his eviction from the villa.

Coye Simmons was liked by three female islanders 

Coye Simmons, while entering the villa, quickly became popular among the female islanders. His tall stature of 6 feet 8 inches and his athletic background as a basketball player made him stand out. His confident personality and impressive physique caught the eyes of three women in particular: JaNa Craig, Serena Page, and Hannah Smith.

From the moment he entered the villa, Coye's interactions with these women were filled with chemistry. He shared passionate kisses with each of them, which heightened their interest and created a competitive atmosphere. JaNa, Serena, and Hannah all expressed a strong desire to couple up with Coye, leading to tension and rivalry among them.

Coye's bold actions, like kissing Serena in front of everyone, showcased his fearless approach to romance but also intensified the competition among the women.

JaNa felt 'frustrated' with Coye Simmons

JaNa Craig's frustration with Coye Simmons on 'Love Island USA' Season 6 stemmed from several key moments and interactions that strained their budding relationship. Except for the body count incident, she felt that he was emotionally closed off and unwilling to engage in meaningful conversations about their relationship. This lack of effort from Coye left JaNa feeling unsupported and uncertain about their future together in the villa.

During a private conversation following the body count game, JaNa confronted Coye about her feelings. She emphasized the need for openness and vulnerability in their relationship, expressing her disappointment that Coye seemed unwilling to make an effort to understand her perspective. 

Ultimately, JaNa's frustration with Coye contributed to her decision during the recoupling ceremony to choose Connor Newsum over him.
