**’Love Island USA’ Contestants Use Code Words to Mask On-Screen Intimacy**
Los Angeles, CA – Despite being filmed around the clock in a luxury villa, the contestants on “Love Island USA” Season 7 found clever ways to avoid explicitly discussing their sexual encounters on camera. Former Islanders have revealed a secret code word system, allowing them to allude to intimate moments without fully disclosing the details to the viewing audience.
Hannah Fields, a Season 7 contestant, revealed the code, stating, “We had a code name for intimacy. We would say, ‘How was your journey? What was this journey like?'” She credited Huda Mustafa for originating the term, saying she started it when she] said something like, ‘Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.”
However, the code wasn’t always foolproof. Huda, after her own “journey,” struggled to remain coy, hinting to the other girls about her sexual encounter. Jeremiah Brown declined to discuss the encounter on a podcast, despite it being obvious to viewers.
Another couple, Nic and Cierra, also used the “journey” euphemism. Cierra described a more extended encounter with Nic using the same code word.
The use of code words highlights the contestants’ awareness of the cameras and their desire to maintain a level of privacy amidst the show’s open environment.
