Love Island USA was giving real, raw, and unscripted vibes, but a former Islander just spilt some hot tea on the reality. In a candid interview with Keke Palmer, JaNa Craig opened up about what really goes on behind the scenes. It turns out it\u2019s not all spontaneous chats and heart-racing recouplings.\u00a0 While it\u2019s no secret that most reality TV<\/a> has a little behind-the-scenes guidance, the secrets JaNa spills here make Love Island USA look a lot more curated than chaotic.<\/p>\n

Sitting down for a chat with Keke, JaNa was asked if producers or the public, “pit Islanders against each other.”<\/p>\n

She replied: “One hundred per cent.<\/p>\n

“The thing about the producers is they’ll never make you do something you don’t want to do. But, they would, like, suggest something.”<\/p>\n

JaNa gives some examples: “They’d be like ‘Hey, it seemed like Kenny hurt your feelings yesterday, did you want to talk to someone else instead? And I was like ‘no’.”<\/p>\n

She continued to add how they’d say things like: “I know you want to vent to Serena, but why don’t you vent to someone else?”<\/p>\n

JaNA said she told them: “No, that’s my girl, I want to vent to her.”<\/p>\n

Production, apparently, would just “let her know” what they thought she should do instead.<\/p>\n

She joked: “Thanks for your opinion, but no, no, no, nice try.”<\/p>\n

JaNa said she and Kenny ‘got no airtime’<\/h2>\n

Although JaNa admitted she hasn’t really watched her season back as “it’s hard watching yourself,” she said a lot of people told her that she and Kenny got little airtime.<\/p>\n

The season six star suggested it was “because they talked about God a lot.”<\/p>\n

Keke added: “And ya’ll was in love.”<\/p>\n

JaNa laughed: “We actually had conversations… that is so funny.”<\/p>\n

She wasn’t keen on production’s suggestions<\/h2>\n
