Love Island's Zach Complains He Always Has ‘Morning Wood': 'I Can't Get Up'
Love Island USA‘s Zach Georgiou revealed that one of his biggest issues in the villa was waking up with "morning wood."
During the Friday, July 3, episode of the hit Peacock series, Zach woke up and told the guys, "I've always got f**ing morning wood. I can't get up."
Carl Lee Schmidt tried to offer Zach some advice. "You have got to chop that wood down," he noted.
Zach has previously often been seen hooking up with his partner Kayda Bosse. The couple reunited after Zach explored a romance with Alannah Keyser in Casa Amor.
Zach walked back into the villa alone after Alannah was removed from the show after facing backlash for a resurfaced video that allegedly showed her using a racial slur.
The video and other posts were not shared publicly until after Alannah's appearance on the show and thus were not accessible during the vetting process.
"Hi everyone, I'm coming on here to address some things that have been circulated online. I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur. I'm sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it. That was never my intention," Alannah said in a Saturday, June 27, TikTok. "The video is from six years ago and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore."
She continued, "I'd also like to address the screenshots that have been going around online that have been falsified. What has been shared does not reflect the truth and it has never been in my character to discriminate against anybody's skin color. I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind and I never have."
Earlier this season, another contestant, Vasana Montgomery, was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Similar issues arose during season 7 last year, with Yulissa Escobar leaving days into the experience after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.
Cierra Ortega also faced backlash for using a slur in her own resurfaced social media post. She was pulled from the villa and later issued an apology for her past actions.
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week - except for Wednesdays - on Peacock.
