Bryce explains the viral "girth check" moment on Love Island USA
One of the most unforgettable laughs from Season 8 came courtesy of Bryce and Zach's candid "girth check" exchange in the bedroom, which quickly became a topic of conversation among fans online. After Cohen polled fans over who Bryce had more chemistry with, Trinity or Zach, he wasn't too shocked when Bryce's actual girlfriend won the round.
When asked about his bromance with Zach — and the internet's rave response to the "girth check" exchange — Bryce explained that he genuinely didn't know production was filming when he showed Zach the inside of his shorts.
"I didn't know I got clipped doing that, so I was a little shocked, to be honest," Bryce laughed, pivoting the focus to his endearing bond with Zach. "But he's my best friend; he's such a good friend to me. It's just the way we get through the emotional, the heaviness of the Villa, is these jokes."
The candid confession only makes the already-iconic scene even funnier, revealing it was a certified moment of silliness between the Islanders. As Trinity and Bryce continue to explore their connection outside of the Villa, one thing is for sure: there are sure to be a few calls from Zach in the U.K., checking in on his friend Stateside.
