During the most explosive challenge yet in Love Island USA Season 7, three new bombshells were dropped, and the villa exploded into mayhem. When new people arrived to disrupt long-standing relationships, what had begun as a sultry game with the male islanders bound up for the girls' amusement swiftly turned into a relationship-threatening drama. Tensions were already simmering between a number of couples who believed they were on stable ground, so the timing couldn't have been more ideal, or disastrous.
What should have been lighthearted villa fun was transformed into a moment that would test allegiances and reveal weaknesses in otherwise strong partnerships when one bombshell entered and kissed every guy, including Jeremiah, while the cast members were bound to boards. Iris was one of the three arrivals, and she made it very evident as soon as she entered the villa that she had her sights set on certain islanders and would not be playing nice.
The scene was set for maximum drama as the most difficult test yet was faced by vulnerable couples. Relationships were already in jeopardy, and new temptations were actually kissing their partners. The villa was about to see how far some islanders would go to keep their relationships intact, and how others would be open to trying new things when the heat grew hot.
Iris brings drama as she enters the Love Island USA villa in season 7 episode 9
In Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 9, Iris Kendall stormed into the villa with no intention of being cautious, causing the most mayhem possible. Iris had other ideas that would completely upend established partnerships, but the islanders assumed they were in for just another heated test. Her unreserved confidence and brazen approach made it clear that no relationship was off limits in her pursuit of love.
From the moment she entered the Love Island USA villa, Iris made it very evident what she intended to do. She boldly said that she would not be playing nice and that she had her eyes set on certain islanders. Iris took advantage of the opportunity to leave a lasting impression, especially with Jeremiah Brown, when it came time for the task in which bombshells had to kiss every male islander.
When Iris kissed every Love Island USA male islander during the challenge, the tension increased. However, Huda strained to see what was going on and called Iris a "b*tch," telling her to stop, when she reached Jeremiah. The relationship between Huda and Jeremiah, which had shown indications of pressure in earlier episodes, was already beginning to show fractures, but this dramatic moment revealed them.
Jeremiah criticized Huda for her possessive response, pointing out that she had just engaged in the same challenge by kissing other male bombshells just moments before. When Jeremiah revealed in the Love Island USA confessional that he was frustrated by Huda's "crazy" behavior, the drama escalated, and it became clear that the couple's foundation was weaker than it seemed.
The 25-year-old Iris rapidly established herself as a serious danger to the villa's established ties with her self-assured demeanor and determination to go for her goals regardless of anybody else's opinions.
