Love Island USA alum JaNa Craig he can feel the heat as he watches a new group of islanders search for love in Fiji.
“I think they are very interested in this season,” JaNa, 29, shared exclusively Us Weekly while celebrating the 60th birthday of the 7-Eleven Slurpee drink. “I had to think back to my season. Like, were we doing all that? I don’t remember anyone going up and down every 30 seconds. I don’t remember, like, ‘What’s your favorite color?’ Kiss, kiss, kiss. ‘Where are you from?’ Kiss, kiss, kiss.”
During season 8 of the Peacock reality show, the contestants hit the headlines for fun sexy time when combined. As for the breakup, Kenzie Annis has the internet talking for his flexibility – especially during hot challenges.
“I won’t judge them. They are very young,” explained JaNa Us. “They’re in their 20s, so maybe they’re really experimenting, but the only thing that separates them from all that sexiness is literally a Slurpee.”
He continued to laugh, “If there’s a Slurpee between them, you know, like social distancing, it can be a safe place. If you want to share spit, share a Slurpee. I’m kidding.”
On Saturday, July 11, participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores nationwide will once again offer free Slurpee mini drinks to fans ready to enjoy a frozen drink, including the new Mountain Dew confetti chill Slurpee drink.

On Slurpee Day, select 7-Eleven and Speedway stores will also host a special Slurpee Date experience, featuring a unique photo-op bench and limited edition, bedazzled Slurpee “S” double straws.
While JaNa was recently spotted grabbing a Slurpee drink with a mystery man at the local 7-Eleven, the reality star is staying mum on her dating life.
“The only thing I want to say is that, whoever you think he is, it’s not him,” he said Us. “I want to keep my love life as low-key as possible, so I make everyone I go out with wear shades and a hat.”

Alex KhululaTwo years after it appeared Love Island USAJaNa said she is not interested in doing another dating show on TV. Still open to progress Traitors if his former costar Rob Rausch was “coaching me,” he has his eyes set on scripted projects in both movies and television.
And all the fans who say his season of Love Island USA with Kaylor Martin, Leah Kateb, Serena Page and so on was the best, he appreciates the flattery but he promises that all the actors are doing their best.
Love Island USA is all about hooking up – so which Islanders are hooking up right now and have already ditched it in the villa? The popular dating show Peacock returned in June 2026 with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum […]
I think it’s natural because we all come from the same country, but respectfully, humbly, I don’t think there will ever be a sixth season like us,” said JaNa. “Each of us was very different. We all had our story, our time. But in other seasons, I think they do well, I think the only way the new season could beat us is if they had Slurpees in the kitchen.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are issued six days a week – except Wednesdays – on Peacock at 9 pm ET.
