French fry – After “French fries” was used on Love Island USA to describe a sex act, Aftersun hosts Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa broke down the meaning on the June 27 episode—while viewers also dissected a “too wet” comment from the June 21 hookup.
When “French fries” first showed up as a code word on Love Island USA. it didn’t take long for the villa and the viewers at home to wonder what it actually meant. By the time Saturday. June 27’s Aftersun episode aired. the show’s hosts Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa decided it was time to clear the air.
On that June 27 episode, Tefi asked what Trinity Tatum meant by the phrase “French fries.” She then mimicked a manual sex act with her hand. Ciara confirmed she was right, adding: “French fry — two fingers.”
The clarification came after “French fries” was tied to a real moment between Kenzie Annis and Corbin Mims. On Sunday, June 21, the episode briefly showed Kenzie and Corbin hooking up in bed. The next morning. Trinity said she heard someone performing “French fries. ” explaining that it sounded “too wet” to be just a kiss. In her confessional, Kenzie confirmed she shared a heated exchange with Corbin.
“I was definitely getting some French fries. Feeling good,” she gushed. “We were probably doing a bit much honestly but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. We probably got a little bit carried away.”
That’s the immediate timeline the cast gave—one phrase, one bedroom scene on June 21, and then a clarification on June 27 that turned the code into something specific. The next step for viewers was to match what they’d seen with what the hosts demonstrated.
Love Island USA itself has been airing since it originally premiered in the U.K. in 2002, later expanding worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA on Peacock. The series places different groups of singles—called Islanders—in a luxury villa where they live in isolation under constant video surveillance. They must pair off to stay in the show and are competing for a $100,000 prize.
Season 7 had already featured plenty of coded talk, and the show’s latest season kept escalating. One standout example from June 2025 came from Hannah Fields. who exclusively told Us Weekly that there was “a code name for intimacy.” She explained. “We would say. ‘How was your journey?. What was this journey like?’ Huda [started it when she] said something like, ‘Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.’”.
The stakes of all that secrecy have only sharpened as Love Island USA expanded its real-time chaos. Season 8 escalated the sex that took place in the villa with multiple couples going all the way while sharing a bedroom in the villa. Casa Amor was also introduced halfway into Sunday’s episode.
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week—except for Wednesdays—on Peacock.

Love Island is so gross like why are we even talking about fingers and fries. lol
So “French fries” is just… two fingers? That’s wild. I don’t even watch Love Island but I feel like people have been saying codes for years. TV needs to chill.
“Too wet” comment?? I swear this show just leaks everything anyway. Also I’m confused—if it was shown on June 21 then why didn’t everyone know already, unless producers were like editing it out or something. Either way, it’s giving middle school energy.
I mean they’re just normal people in a villa, right? The whole “code word” thing feels made up after the fact though. Like they say “French fries” then next episode they act shocked like the audience didn’t catch it. And the “journey” lines too—sounds like everyone’s just trying to get around sponsors. Not buying it.
