TJ entered the villa on Love Island USA two episodes ago and was ready to pair up with one of the girls. However, he did not get a chance to do that until today's episode, June 23, 2025.
First, he spent time getting to know everyone in the villa, and he formed a connection with Iris and Cierra. The girls were couples up at the time, and their fate was to be decided during that night's elimination, which ended up sending Jeremiah and Hannah home.
Now that it is a new day, the islanders got a text that there was to be a new kissing game. The boys were to put on headphones and get blindfolds on, and the ladies were to kiss them individually. They will then rate the kiss, but were not allowed to see or know who the women they kissed were.
However, there was a huge twist incorporated in the game as soon as Ariana Madix entered the Love Island USA villa. She announced that it is time for Casa Amor, and the girls had to leave where they would meet new single men to explore connections.
As for the men, they got together with five new ladies who entered the villa. Each of them had a kissing round with the boys. During this, it was seen that TJ held back on his rating and gave them very less numbers. This might have upset the girls, and during the coupling, not a single one of them chose him.
Love Island USA - What was TJ's rating for the new girls?
Grayson was the first one to test her waters with the Love Island USA boys and started with Pepe. TJ was the second one in line, and the two kissed. After the kissing was done, TJ said,
"It was kinda short and I felt like we were off rhythm, but I'd probably give it like a seven."
Second to go was Clark. TJ said that it was a good kiss and a "step up" from the last one and gave her an 8.5. However, the ladies looked upset at how he was comparing both girls. The third to go was Jaden. TJ, after the kiss, said,
"You came in a little too aggressive. So I'm going to give it a 6.5."
It was now Coco's turn, and after Pepe and her kissed, she gave a few sensual pecks to TJ, trying to do something new. However, he was not happy with it, and after hearing Pepe's rating of 10, he disagreed with him and gave her a 5 because he only got three pecks.
The last one to go was Vanna. She knew she did not want TJ and exhibited the same in her very short kiss towards the same. But this time, something reverse happened and TJ gave a 7, higher than the average rating he has been giving to every other girl with whom he shared a passionate kiss.
Soon, the blindfolds were lifted, and the Love Island USA boys saw that the ones they were kissing were not the ones they were coupled up with. Ariana gave the new ladies a chance to select their potential partners for the villa, and this is when TJ was left single.
