Love Island USA offered for another couple to go to the Hideaway — and Zach Georgiou used the opportunity to pitch himself and Bryce Alakai Dettloff.
The Tuesday, July 7, episode, showed Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea spending some quality time — solo — in the Hideaway. They hooked up while the rest of the Islanders remained in the villa — but not before Zach suggested that he and Bryce go hang out in private instead.
Off screen, viewers have been rooting for Zach and Bryce’s strong connection. They previously surprised Us when Bryce showed Zach his penis and asked for a “girth check.”
Zach brought it up later, saying, “That f**king snake you got down there.” After Bryce asked for Zach’s opinion on his anatomy, his friend called it “long.”
“It is nearly my f**king boner, that was. I am not going to lie,” Zach added. “That was good s***.”
Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.
While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.
While the Islanders paired off during Day 1, it didn’t take long for those bonds to shift. There was also the arrival of bombshells, who tempted several Islanders to reconsider their connections.
Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.
“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,” read their statement. “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”
Host Ariana Madix has also had to previously issue a message for those Love Island USA viewers who are taking things too far when expressing their frustrations with the show.
“I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,” she said during a June 2025 episode of Aftersun. “Don’t be contacting people’s families. Don’t be doxxing people.”
Ariana questioned the behavior she saw on social media.
“Don’t be going on islanders’ pages and saying rude things. You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don’t have their phones,” she noted. “So we are giving you a chance because this is a fun, amazing and beautiful show. We should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
