Overview

• Paige DeSorbo fainted during a Love Island USA challenge in Fiji on June 15 after succumbing to extreme heat.
• She told her June 17 Giggly Squad podcast that she had been in Fiji for less than 24 hours before filming and felt unacclimated to the climate.
• She said wearing a suede turtleneck, heavy hair extensions and a mic pack in intense sun aggravated her condition.
