Love Island USA: Fans slam Ace, Zak, and Austin after letter leaves Amaya in tears
Islanders were tasked with writing anonymous notes to each other, sparking unexpected tensions. Amaya's letter accused her of crying 'more than needed' and trying to 'move too fast.' She tearfully responded, calling herself a 'sensitive gangsta' and saying her emotions were not a weakness.
Austin admitted he had written the letter but claimed it sounded harsher than intended. He added that her emotional intensity had increased after they coupled up. Amaya pushed back, saying her emotions were a 'power move,' not a flaw.
Ace interrupted to share his own concerns, saying her passionate approach was 'very strong' and mentioned she had called him 'babe' too early on. He urged her to meet others halfway.
Zak, a Casa Amor bombshell, also criticised her, saying she was 'passionate' but sometimes overwhelming. Amaya was visibly upset, questioning why Zak had waited to bring this up in front of the entire group. She told him, 'I don't even want to continue speaking to you anymore.'
Only Bryan stood up for Amaya, saying that in Hispanic households, using terms like 'babe' and 'mi vida' was normal. Fans praised Bryan online for defending her while criticising Ace, Zak, and Austin for what they saw as ganging up.
Others highlighted the silence of the other women and demanded more support for Amaya.

Love Island USA fans debate Chelley reaction to Huda kissing Ace during heart rate challenge
Tensions ran high in Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 24, which aired on June 29, 2025, as the Heart Rate challenge—where islanders perform flirtatious routines to raise each other's heart rates—sparked unexpected drama between Chelley and Huda. This season introduced a twist to the traditional challenge, having couples perform together rather than individually. During one performance, Huda and Chris brought Ace and Chelley to the main stage. Huda's bold interaction with Ace, including a kiss, ultimately raised his heart rate the most—leaving Chelley visibly upset. the fact they were all sat there in their little circle ganging up on huda when they refuse to address the ola/nick/cierra situation is hilariously hypocritical — maddie (@mqharper) June 30, 2025 chelley was clearly upset with him as well, but huda started the whole 'girl code' pact when she was with jeremiah hoping none of the girls did this stuff with him, then she does whatever she wants with the other girls man so of course chelley would be upset — winter (@wintersnowey9) June 30, 2025 Huda went too far when it came to respecting her friend. None of the girls that actually said they were friends went that hard on Jeremiah. That's what she's saying open or not. Have the same respect. — Shae (@Shae_Low) June 30, 2025 Chelley later admitted to feeling 'uncomfortable' with the moment, questioning Huda's judgment and the sincerity of her previous emphasis on 'girl code.' In past episodes, Huda had asked other women to respect her relationship with Jeremiah, which Chelley and others found contradictory given her recent actions with Ace. The drama spilled over online, where fans offered mixed reactions. Some viewers believed Chelley overreacted, noting the challenge's playful nature. 'Huda ate that Heart Rate challenge,' one fan wrote. 'She ain't take nothing far.' Another added, 'Chelley is actually crazy... making it seem like Huda was a bad friend when you NEVER considered her a friend.' Others supported Chelley, arguing her feelings were valid. 'It wasn't about the challenge—it was about respect,' a viewer tweeted. Some pointed out that Huda's actions contradicted her own expectations of loyalty within the villa. The fallout continued among islanders, with discussions unfolding between Chelley, Olandria, Cierra, and others. The disagreement has divided both the cast and fans, leaving viewers eager to see how relationships evolve in the coming episodes.

Elin Hilderbrand discusses screen adaptations at Nantucket panel
At the Nantucket Film Festival on June 29, 2025, bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand took part in a panel exploring how bestselling novels are being adapted for the screen. She was joined by showrunners Jenna Lamia of The Perfect Couple and Bekah Brunstetter of The Five-Star Weekend to share insights into her growing slate of TV projects. Hilderbrand confirmed that The Five-Star Weekend is currently in development as a limited series for Peacock, with Brunstetter attached as showrunner. The story centers on themes of friendship, grief, and self-discovery, and will bring a different emotional tone from some of her previous adaptations. She also revealed that her holiday-themed novel Winter Street is being considered for future adaptation, though no production timeline or network has been confirmed. While The Perfect Couple, her Netflix limited series, was discussed during the panel, Hilderbrand did not share any new details about a continuation. As of now, Netflix has not confirmed plans for a second season. Throughout the panel, Hilderbrand emphasized her desire to maintain the unique Nantucket atmosphere in each adaptation, even as each story explores its own characters and tone.
