PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 star Isiah 'Zay' Harayda seems to be too confused with his decisions. The star coupled with Destiny Zammarra during the Casa Amor twist.
However, this did not work out as Zay regretted coupling while he was on the verge of elimination. Now, the star made a match with Imani Ayan.
Fans speculated that Zay might try building a connection with Imani. However, it seems he is once again going through the same feelings.
He regrets pairing up with Imani and considers her a friend only. This made 'Love Island USA' Season 5 speculate the reason behind his behavior, with some dubbing him "racist," believing it could explain his actions as the star continued playing with Black women's feelings in the show.
Who did Isiah 'Zay' Harayda recouple with in 'Love Island USA' Season 5?
Zay got saved as Imani picked him in the last moment of the recoupling round. It seemed pretty clear to the viewers that Imani chose Zay with genuine feelings.
However, Zay did not feel a romantic connection with Imani. Until now, we have not seen Zay have a strong romantic attachment with anyone in the villa.
Does this mean Zay is playing the game just to stay away from elimination?
Sadly Zay and Imani both were eliminated in the final recoupling as the couple got the least vote.

Zay has been vocal about not having a romantic connection with either Destiny or Imani in the villa. Scott Van der Sluis tried hinting at Imani about Zay not feeling her in the recoupling round.
But, Imani ignored all the hints and chose Zay.
A fan tweeted, "And Imani not knowing what Scott is referring to is something that came outta Zay mouth .. nasty work." Another claimed, "i believe if zay never told the guys he was forcing it with imani they would have stayed & destiny+kyle would be leaving."

Seeing Zay not feel the connection with either Destiny or Imani made a few fans wonder whether he's doesn't like Black women. But why is he pairing up with one again and again if he doesn't like them?
Maybe because Zay want to stay safe and knows if he doesn't pair up with them he will ultimately be ruled out of the show.
