A man from Middle Georgia entered the villa on Love Island USA. What we know
A Middle Georgia man has entered the Love Island USA villa.
Warning: Spoilers ahead, fans.
At the end of episode nine, which aired Jun. 12, three bombshells rocked the villa during a “leather and lace” game in which lingerie and whips were on full display. And one bombshell may look familiar to Middle Georgians.
Enter Jalen Brown, Love Island USA’s new bombshell
He’s a truck driver from a small Georgia town
“I’m from Middle Georgia, from Sparta, Georgia. Born and raised in the country,” Jalen, 27, said in episode 10 as the other Islanders got to know him. He also explained that he’s a trucker who drives 18-wheelers all day.
He’s got his sights set on Olandria
He pulled Olandria for a chat right away and told her going to the villa in Fiji was his first time traveling out of the country.
“I’m from a very small town, population 1,000,” he said. “Everybody knows everybody. I love my hometown.”
America voted to have him coupled up with Olandria
On episode 12 of Love Island, which aired June 15, Ariana Madix stormed the villa to reveal America’s votes. In the shocking re-coupling, America voted to have Jalen couple up with Olandria, leaving her current man, Taylor, single and vulnerable.
Looks like our Georgia trucker is turning up the heat in Fiji.
