Tensions ran high in Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 24, which aired on June 29, 2025, as the Heart Rate challenge—where islanders perform flirtatious routines to raise each other’s heart rates—sparked unexpected drama between Chelley and Huda.

This season introduced a twist to the traditional challenge, having couples perform together rather than individually. During one performance, Huda and Chris brought Ace and Chelley to the main stage. Huda’s bold interaction with Ace, including a kiss, ultimately raised his heart rate the most—leaving Chelley visibly upset.

Chelley later admitted to feeling “uncomfortable” with the moment, questioning Huda’s judgment and the sincerity of her previous emphasis on “girl code.” In past episodes, Huda had asked other women to respect her relationship with Jeremiah, which Chelley and others found contradictory given her recent actions with Ace.

The drama spilled over online, where fans offered mixed reactions. Some viewers believed Chelley overreacted, noting the challenge’s playful nature. “Huda ate that Heart Rate challenge,” one fan wrote. “She ain’t take nothing far.” Another added, “Chelley is actually crazy... making it seem like Huda was a bad friend when you NEVER considered her a friend.”

Others supported Chelley, arguing her feelings were valid. “It wasn’t about the challenge—it was about respect,” a viewer tweeted. Some pointed out that Huda’s actions contradicted her own expectations of loyalty within the villa.

The fallout continued among islanders, with discussions unfolding between Chelley, Olandria, Cierra, and others. The disagreement has divided both the cast and fans, leaving viewers eager to see how relationships evolve in the coming episodes.
