Smith quickly became a fan-favorite contestant in season 6 ofLove Island USAbut didn’t end up sticking around the villa for long.

After brief connections with both Kendall Washington and Hakeem White, she attempted to strike up a romance with another contestant, Miguel Harichi. After he chose to couple up with Olivia “Liv” Walker instead, Smith became the season’s first day-one girl to get dumped from the island.

Reflecting on her exit from the dating series withTodayin June, Smith said that Harichi “was so flirty, and held everything to himself.”

“He didn’t let anybody know who he was choosing,” she told the outlet. “I was very shocked that he did choose Liv, like she was shocked herself … I did think maybe I had a chance, but obviously I thought wrong,” she added.

Also addressing her short-lived time coupled up with Washington, Smith toldToday, “I’m actually very happy that me and Kendall did end up getting to meet each other and being paired up with each other because we had so much in common. With me and him, we were just like the goofy couple in the villa.”

“We had so much fun and I really got to know him,” she continued. “And I can honestly say Kendall is a great guy. He is so genuine. Even though we didn’t end up together and our connection didn’t last as long as I wanted it to, I have nothing bad to say about him.”
