After the pair unexpectedly made the finale episode over Ace Greene & Chelley Bissainthe, viewers were floored to see them struggling through basic moments together in recent episodes.
As the finale rolled around, many were concerned about Chris and Huda’s connection, and it appears the Islanders were also both struggling to figure out what was next. While Chris had, according to him, expressed interest of continuing things off-camera, Huda hadn’t echoed his sentiments.

Tearfully, she shared that she wasn’t sure they were compatible, and while Chris was open about understanding her, it was clear there was hurt between the pair.
