What did Chelley say about her connection with Chris on Love Island USA season 7 episode 24?

When Ace and Chelley sat down to chat, they kissed and said they missed each other. Ace then asked how things were going with Chris, her partner from Casa Amor. When she said they were similar, Ace stated that nobody was like him.

Chelley explained that she was surprised by how much they had in common.

"I really was surprised like, things that we talked about, and stuff, every second I'm like, 'Wow. Ace. That's Ace. That's Ace," she said.

Because of these similarities, Chelley said that her connection with Chris didn't feel like something she didn't already have. She then told Ace that there indeed was nobody like him and pulled him in for a kiss.

In her Love Island USA confessional, Chelley shared that she was nervous about navigating things with Ace. She questioned why she wanted to keep exploring when her connection with Ace was already strong. She also wondered aloud what Chris was feeling about the entire situation.

"This man made an impact on me when I was in Casa Amor," Chelley said.

She explained she didn't want to live with "what-ifs" and wanted to stay open to exploring. When Ace asked if she wanted to keep her options open, she said yes. He jokingly asked if he was prepared to go to war, implying that he, too, was battling for Chelley.

In his Love Island USA confessional, Ace said he hoped he could make Chelley understand he was all in for her and saw a life outside the villa. He said he wanted to keep it all out and let her choose.

Chris and Ace also talked. Chris shared that while he had connected with Huda, he still wanted to pursue Chelley. Ace accepted this. Further in the episode, Chelley spoke to Chris in Soul Ties and told him that she just wanted to be honest with herself.

Chris said that while he knew she had a stronger connection with Ace, he still wanted to keep trying. He concluded in a Love Island USA confessional, saying Chelley was the type of person who would lift one's spirit up, so he was going to try harder to bag her.
