The most anticipated part of Love Island USA is finally here! In a new twist, the show’s iconic segment, Casa Amor, was combined with one of the show’s most iconic tasks, the heart rate challenge.
In the episode, the islanders were told to get ready for the hearts-on-fire challenge. However, as the girls were getting dressed and practicing their moves, the guys got a text that they were being sent to Casa Amor. When they arrived, the male islanders still got to participate in the challenge, but instead of the girls they were coupled up with, they were greeted by six new bombshells.
Fans were excited to see who would be vying for a chance to join the villa, but one potential islander’s journey may end before it truly begins. Read on to find out more.
Who Is Alannah from Love Island USA?
Alannah Keyser is a 21-year-old film student at the University of Southern California, originally from Miami, Florida. She was announced in Episode 17 as one of the new Casa Amor bombshells. Viewers did not see much from her in the episode, aside from her heart rate challenge performance, where she was dressed as an angel, and it is unclear if there will be more of her in the future.
What did Alannah do?
After it was revealed that Alannah was one of the new bombshells, videos and images began circulating of her saying racial slurs. Alannah was filmed using the n-word while singing a song and through text messages. Viewers also noted suspicious behavior surrounding the black male contestants, as she somewhat avoided them during her heart rate challenge performance.
Alannah is not the first islander to come under fire for inappropriate behavior before entering the villa. This season of Love Island USA has already removed a contestant for similar reasons before the season even began. The same also happened the season prior.
Is Alannah leaving Love Island USA?
As of right now, it has not been confirmed that Alannah is no longer on this season of Love Island USA since it has only been one day since the controversy. Typically, the contestant is removed from the series after these types of incidents. Fans of the show have taken to social media to get Love Island USA to not only address the situation but also to demand producers restructure their vetting process to ensure this won’t happen for a third time.
