America voted, and they got what they wanted: a Huda crash-out on (almost) live television. The latest episodes of Love Island USA Season 7 have been the most dramatic since the show returned in early June. So, what's going on between Huda and Jeremiah, and could Huda be leaving the villa tonight?
Huda and Jeremiah have been paired up since Day 1, instantly forming both an emotional and physical connection. As new bombshells entered the villa, Huda marked her territory, telling the new women that Jeremiah was basically off-limits (even though they were both still open to chats). She also didn't like when Jeremiah kissed other women during challenges, despite the fact that she kissed other guys too.
One major moment between the couple came when Huda revealed that she was a mother, and fans took note of Jeremiah's concerning initial reaction. However, they quickly moved past the secret, and he accepted that important part of her life. The pair even became the first couple in Season 7 to receive a one-on-one date, a trip to a waterpark, where they discussed their future outside the villa.
But everything in Fiji isn't as perfect as it seems, and eventually, cracks in their relationship started to show. Is Jeremiah love-bombing her and scamming her just to make it to the end? Is it okay that Huda often cuts him off and refuses to let him talk about their 'drama' with the other bombshells? Then came Pancake Gate, when Huda criticized Jeremiah's undercooked pancakes, asked Taylor to remake them, then got upset when Jeremiah hadn't offered to help her in the kitchen.
So when America got the chance to play matchmaker and decide who the new bombshells – Iris, Pepe, and Jalen – would couple up with, all hell broke loose. Fans cast their votes in Episode 10, and the shocking results were unveiled at the firepit in Episode 12.

Fans jumped at the chance to pair Jeremiah with Iris, a move that left Huda single and immediately at risk of getting dumped from the villa. Social media exploded with reactions, with many viewers admitting they'd turned on the couple due to Huda and Jeremiah's behavior and what they deemed was a toxic relationship.
From Day 1, Huda and Jeremiah had been closed off to other connections, which is a rare move so early in Love Island. Even some Islanders, including Ace and Nic, voiced concerns about their tunnel vision. Olandria told Huda early on that Jeremiah might be love-bombing her.
But for Huda, who is a mother (a fact she hasn't shared with all of the Islanders yet), she explained that she's been protective of herself and takes dating in the competition seriously because she has a daughter at home.

Huda was completely blindsided when host Ariana Madix announced that America wanted Iris to be with Jeremiah. "What… What the f*ck," she gasped, later telling Madix that it felt like she had been slapped in the face. 'I feel like we had the best connection in here.'
The fitness trainer became even more distraught moments later when she found out she was one of three Islanders at risk of going home. Her fate was in the hands of the contestants who were not coupled up with the new bombshells.
Both Ace and Nic voted to have her kicked out of the villa because she didn't explore other connections and was so 'closed off' from the start. In the end, it wasn't Huda who got kicked out of the villa. Charlie was sent packing, despite his strong connection with Hannah.
Viewers witnessed the fallout in Episode 13, as the tension between Huda and Jeremiah reached a boiling point. Huda was extremely upset that after everything she had just been through, including nearly getting dumped from the villa, Jeremiah didn't even check in to see how she was doing.
'This dude did not check on me once during this whole thing, and I feel stupid. I trusted this person with so much. I was go genuine and I almost got voted off because he was not genuine... I don't know if they want him to find better or me to find better,' she told the girls.
While she was in the shower, Jeremiah overheard her venting, saying things like 'my husband would never' and 'you're a f*cking b*tch,' which really rubbed him the wrong way. While he admitted to Austin that he should have comforted her after she almost got eliminated, he claimed he wasn't in the right headspace.
The next morning, Jeremiah headed out on a beach date with Iris and the other bombshells. Later, while recapping the date with the boys, Huda sneaked up behind them and overheard their conversation. He said his relationship with Huda was 'cooked' after he heard her comments in the shower. He even said he wished that Huda was the one who was sent home last night.
'Truthfully now in hindsight like I'd rather Huda have gone home just because of the way she reacted,' he told the guys. But Nic told Jeremiah that he lost respect for him based on how he handled the situation after the firepit, especially for not comforting Huda when she needed his support.

At the end of Episode 13, Jeremiah finally pulled Huda for a chat, where he apologized for not being there for her. She accused him of playing the victim, called him extremely selfish, and said she'd noticed a pattern of that behavior. "You don't care about me in that way," she said, to which he responded that was "a stretch."
'I don't want sh*t to do with you,' she said at the end of the episode.
Huda calling things off with Jeremiah leaves her vulnerable heading into Episode 14, which airs Tuesday, June 17. In the teaser, a new recoupling is on the horizon — and with Huda the only single woman, there's a strong chance she could be heading out the door. Here are the couples as they stand ahead of Episode 14:
In a poll on the Love Island USA app, when fans were asked whether this could be the end of Huda and Jeremiah, nearly 70% answered yes. The results of the recoupling will hopefully be revealed tonight.
Love Island USA Season 7 airs every day except Wednesdays on Peacock. Check out the full release schedule here.

Nintendo is banning online services on Switch 2 systems that use the Mig cartridge
Whether you're pirating games, or playing copies of games you own, Nintendo thinks you're guilty. Whether you're pirating games, or playing copies of games you own, Nintendo thinks you're guilty. Some Switch 2 owners have received the error code 2134-4508, which results in their consoles being permanently banned from accessing any of its online services, as spotted by IGN . It's not a ban hammer from sucking at Mario Kart World , thankfully for me, but one that's targeting consoles that have used a Mig – a microSD card-equipped Switch cartridge that can be filled with copies of games. Running games on the Mig requires you to download them from others who have dumped files off of cartridges, or dump the games yourself with something like the Mig Dumper, then load them onto a microSD card. Whether you've used one to play pirated games, or to play copies of games that you own, Nintendo's stance on the matter is broad: It considers both to be violations of its user agreements. The makers of the Mig cartridge have taken reasonable efforts to distance itself from what a majority of buyers will likely do with it, which is play pirated games. The cartridge's product page notes that it 'serves as a backup and development device solely supporting gaming using personal game backups. [...] To maintain the Mig Flash warranty during online play, it's essential to utilize self-dumped backups with authentic Certificate, UID, and Card Set ID.' Nintendo isn't bricking the consoles of offenders, at least, not immediately. YouTube creator Scattered Brain posted a video about their banned Switch 2 in which they tried to find a way around the ban. Attempting to visit the eShop wasn't possible, nor was unlinking an account from the console, since both activities require the internet. They were able to unlink Virtual Game Cards from their Switch 2 from Nintendo's account management site and load them onto a Switch OLED, suggesting that the ban is limited to the hardware and not the account. However, a factory reset essentially bricked their Switch 2, as it no longer allowed signing into any Nintendo Account. This is something that Nintendo reserves the right to do per its updated account services user agreement and privacy policy. No one, but especially Mig users, should be surprised about this ban. Nintendo has a rich history of aggressively pursuing those who pirate its games, as well as those who build emulators that can run pirated copies of games originally made for its platforms. Considering that the Switch 2 is the fastest-selling console of all time, Nintendo's clearly throwing everything it's got at making sure gamers are playing by its rules.

Police shut down Cluely's party, the ‘cheat at everything' startup
The latest San Francisco startup culture drama happened on Monday night. And it centered around 'the most legendary party that never happened,' Cluely founder and CEO Roy Lee tells TechCrunch. Cluely had hoped to throw an afterparty for a Y Combinator event occurring on Monday and Tuesday called AI Startup School. The event drew crowds thanks to scheduled speakers like Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk. Cluely is an AI startup born of controversy and rage-bait comedy marketing. True to form, Lee posted a satirical video on X advertising his afterparty. It shows him camped out by the famed Y Combinator sign — the one all the YC founders take selfies with. (Cluely is not a YC startup.) The tweet advertised the party to his more than 100,000 followers and said to DM for an invite. Lee tells TechCrunch that he didn't actually send invites out to the hordes. 'We only invited friends and friends of friends,' he said. But it became the party, and people shared the details. When it was set to begin, so many people were standing outside the venue that the lines wrapped around blocks. 'It just blew up way out of proportion,' Lee says. What looked like 2,000 people showed up, he added. A party that big might have gotten out of control, but it didn't get the chance. The lines were blocking traffic, so the cops showed up and shut it down. 'Cluely's aura is just too strong!' Lee was heard shouting outside as the cops busted it up. 'It would have been the most legendary party in tech history. And I would argue that the reputation of this story might just make it the most legendary party that never happened,' Lee tells TechCrunch, simultaneously proud and bummed.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Lee became known in San Francisco when he posted a viral tweet on X saying he was suspended by Columbia University after he and his co-founder developed an AI tool to cheat on job interviews for software engineers. They turned that tool into a startup that offers a hidden in-browser window that can't be viewed by an interviewer or proctor. The startup also went viral for its marketing that promised to help people 'cheat on everything.' In April, Cluely raised a $5.3 million seed round, and its marketing is now a little less in-your-face: 'Everything you need. Before you ask.' The party and its law-enforcement demise naturally became the subject of jokes, memes and inventive rumors. Lee's explanation of the crowds outside is perhaps more dull than what some people imagined. After the cops showed, 'We did some cleanup, but the drinks are all there waiting for the next party,' he promises.
