Love Island USA‘s Jen Terry made a bold statement about how she hated all men.
“I just hate men. I always say this,” she said in the Friday, July 3, episode. “I say it outside of here and inside.”
She continued: “They all f**king suck. When will it ever be my turn? It feels like it never is.”
Jen was venting about her issues with Gal Tshnieder after their connection came to an end. The boys were then instructed to choose who they wanted to couple up with — and Gal didn’t choose Jen. As a result, she was sent home as the only single person still left in the villa.
Before her exit, Jen was surprisingly candid when she previously admitted to struggling when guys in the villa don’t show interest in her.
“I know that I am gorgeous and stunning but here — besides when I was with Gabe — I felt like, ‘Am I hideous?’” she said in a June episode. “Is there something wrong with me? Does my personality suck?”
She continued: “Normally I am used to guys drooling over me. Here, it has been so hard.”
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.
The show is coming off a record-breaking moment with season 7 bringing in 18.4 billion streaming minutes, making it the most-watched original season of television on the platform.
“[This season] there’s a lot more emphasis put on the journey as opposed to the result,” narrator Iain Stirling told Us Weekly exclusively in July 2025. ”I think it’s about the journey of finding someone and how you grow as a person by doing that. Whereas five or six years ago, you had, like, proper millennials in there. There was that more traditional approach to dating.”
While some fans questioned the love journeys, Stirling was on board with the Islanders taking a different approach.
“The end goal [was] to be with someone and you have this contract with someone you’re in a relationship with to honor that person and to honor that relationship,” he noted. “I think now there’s a lot more people who make contracts with themselves to have the journey that they want and the experience they’re after.”
He added, “These people are predominantly speaking in their early 20s. If you can’t be selfish dating then — then when can you? Especially people from my generation, they weren’t selfish in their 20s and maybe did not want to upset people. Then they get to sort of 30 to 40 and get divorced and go insane. Maybe it’s the healthier way to do it.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
