Chelley Bissainthe, who had previously been connected to Ace, was visibly emotional afterward. In a tense conversation, she said, “I have no words for Huda. I cannot hide my facial expressions. I cannot sit here and try to smile and be like ‘kumbaya.’”

Chelley pointed out what she felt was a double standard, noting that Huda had earlier asked for personal boundaries in her own romantic journey, but crossed them during the challenge. “You didn’t return any of that favor whatsoever,” Chelley said, expressing frustration that respect wasn’t mutual.

To make matters more intense, the results of the Heart Rate Challenge revealed that Huda raised Ace’s heart rate the most, adding further emotional strain to Chelley’s reaction.
Viewers quickly took to social media, calling for unedited footage, with many commenting things like “air the footage!” and speculating that more happened off-camera. Some fans supported Chelley, saying her response was justified, while others defended Huda, noting the challenge is just part of the game.
