Love Island USA season 7’s got a brand-new Bombshell in TJ Palma, and though he’s just getting started, many are wondering about his life outside the villa. Coming into Love Island USA season 7 after an incredibly heated stretch of episodes, TJ’s going to get to know the cast in a pivotal moment. Although things are cooling down, TJ’s arrival into the Love Island USA villa came on the heels of some serious tension, especially with Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa finally breaking up after an intense few weeks together. Huda, the only single Islander, is looking for a connection.
After the intense recoupling of Love Island USA season 7 episode 14, many were hoping for a bit of a lull in the next few episodes. While there should still be consistent drama, watching Huda crash out and Jalen Brown, who many are sad to have seen leave, get voted out of the villa was taxing. TJ coming into the villa with fellow Bombshell Andreina Santos after guest host Megan Thee Stallion was the judge of a game pitting the Islanders twerking skills against each other was exciting for the Islanders and the viewers. What’s TJ like outside the show?
