Ah, Love Island USA, it’s the reason for the bikini season. After four weeks of making out and breaking up, the islanders have met their biggest match yet: the voting audience. Sure, it’ll end up being more episodes than all three seasons of The Bear combined, but that’s why we pulled all the best moments from the season, from week one up to the end of Casa Amor to the heart rate challenge that might break the villa.
Week 4 (episodes 25-32)
Amaya nation winning (episode 27)

Finally, a smile on Amaya Papaya’s face. After being ranked the highest of all the women, she knows that on the outside, America is rooting for her.
Taylor getting last in every category (episode 27)

Grandma was leading the charge against Taylor and the results did not lie.
Mail time is actually the worst time (episode 26)
This was the rawest emotion I’ve seen on love island in a long time. Olandria really made me cry, cause Taylor used her to stay in the villa until he could move in casa. He breadcrumbed her not once did he consider her feelings. #loveislandsusa pic.twitter.com/QSLDAsU24W

I miss when this show was fun.
Huda vs. Chelley (episode 25)
never in a million years did i think i’d take huda’s side over chelley’s… she’s sitting here acting like huda had an affair with her husband. girl, it’s a love island challenge bffr. #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/DHn61xu9A3

I find it CRAZY that so many people are getting territorial but yet don’t wanna close off yet…#loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/igtklXjObE

After the heart rate challenge, Chelley got mad at Huda for how she behaved in the challenge with Ace and Huda feels bad about it! She tried to pull Chelley aside to apologize but Chelley wanted to talk another day because she was still angry. Girl, all this over Ace?
Week 3 (episodes 16-24)
Somebody call a doctor (episode 24)
But not for me, for the islanders. The heart rate challenge practically destroyed the Villa after Huda danced a little too long on Ace, upseting Chelley and other Islanders.
New couple alert! (episode 22)
Happy for Amaya Papaya!
Taylor, you in danger (episode 22)
Having Amaya AND Huda mad at you…….oh Taylor you better fucking run #loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/gcLhBPlcDB

Why she whacked Taylor like this omg🤣🤣

Even Grandma is disappointed.
Olandria’s return! (episode 22)
The girls were SO happy to see Olandria again and almost everything felt perfect… Until Taylor didn’t want to couple up with her and she was at risk AGAIN of being dumped from the island… Like come on now! Thankfully, the islanders voted to save her. Hopefully when she gets out of the villa she buys a lottery ticket.
Nic really got up there and said fuck all that shit you finna say olandria ain’t going no where and pepe was up there nodding in agreement #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/440pMcAaCE

Sigh, their romance only lasted for a day. We will remember it fondly.

Unlike Tobey McGuire and Kirsten Dunst, that kiss was not a winner.

The women were crying like someone had died when Olandria was told to pack her bags, and honestly, same.
Mi casa amor es su casa amor (episode 18)
Honey, I’m home! Wait, who are all these people? Casa Amor is working a little differently this season: both the guys and the girls are pairing up with new people while separated, testing their loyalty with their old partner. And they’re all already failed. Basically, everyone is open to exploring new connections. It’s no surprise, all of the strongest connections (besides maybe Ace and Chelley) have left the villa.
Below are all the new pairings. Oh, la la!
RIP to the Austin x Jeremiah edits (ended episode 17)
RIP to Love Island USA’s strongest connection: Austin and Jeremiah.
They got Jeremiah (episode 17)
The islanders did their big one. In the first double elimination of the season — which famously led Rob Rausch to declare, “Now, you’re sending three home” last year — the girls voted Hannah out, while the boys dumped the man henceforth known as Huda’s ex. Pepe, Austin, Amaya, and Iris live to tan another day … in Casa Amor.
Got milk? (episode 16)
The nastiest thing about the milk challenge is the fact that these mfs are not only getting a bucket of milk dumped on them but a bucket of milk that was in two people’s mouths 😭😭😭 #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/86vB8H0VBt

Stay in line!!! (episode 16)
the voting is not working…donald trump you will not steal another election from me #loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/LeYTpmhYuP

It’s a technical error so egregious that one must alert their local Doorbell neighborhood app. The Love Island USA app was crashing during Friday night’s voting, and everyone was begging each other to stay in line. Fans voted for their favorite Islanders, one boy and one girl, and it seemed like many took Megan thee Stallion’s message to heart and voted for Huda.
chileeee i voted for ace and chelley (to each they own idc) but why i come on twitter and everyone saying vote huda… i mean like i said to each they own… but yall fr saying huda y’all’s favorite islander ???#LoveislandUSA pic.twitter.com/Dq5Ad3V088

Week 2 (episodes 7-15)
Real hot girl shit (episode 15)
Megan thee Stallion brought the heat and the voice of reason into the Villa— reminding the Islanders and the audience at home to be nicer to one another. And she got Austin to shake his little booty. In Megan we trust.
Spanish lessons (episode 15)
a latina bombshell walks in and suddenly the guys are bilingual #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/Xwr5vdcE9K
— 🃏 (@ninasverse) June 21, 2025
With Andriena’s bombshell introduction, everyone’s suddenly remembering their Spanish lessons from high school (or at least from Nickelodeon).
Pray for the villa. (episode 14)
The islanders have to vote to keep either newcomer Jalen or crash out queen Huda and the results may shock you. Everyone supports Huda except Jeremiah, Pepe, Nic, and Austin, who will all be hearing from her come Thursday night. Until then, so long, cowboy.
Head-turn of the century (episode 14)
Jeremiah appears to deliberate until the last second before deciding to recouple with bombshell Iris, leaving Huda single and vulnerable. This is mere hours after his attempts to make things work end in Huda once again yelling across the villa.
The crashout (episode 13)
Everyone deserves their emmys for this. Jeremiah playing the checked out love bomber, Huda THEE crashout, Ace the instigator, Nic the messy two-face, and the girls for being the peanut gallery of delusion cuz they know why we voted Huda to lose her man.

okay so….our votes got taken out of context and now huda thinks we love her and are protecting her from jeremiah when half of their issues and problems literally stem from her i- #loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/P7Tw1jrrAv

Huda crashing out over Jeremiah and misreading the breakup, then getting mad at Iris for being coupled up with him. Hannah was right this is a hurricane.
This whole recoupling situation (episode 12)
The way Hannah and Amaya were sobbing, you’d think they were on Survivor’s side of Fiji.
Ace vs. Jeremiah and Huda (episode 12)
If Jeremiah and Huda have no haters, it’s because Ace isn’t there.
She’s a mommy! (episode nine)
Huda confessed to Nic that she’s a mommy and he appropriately responds with “Mommy? Mamacita :).” He basically forgot that there are people in the 20s that are real parents and not just dog parents. “Like a dog? Like a human baby?” Nic asked. “I have a daughter” Huda further explained. Just as it seems like Nic is just about to get it, he asked Huda how old “he or she” was. This is a show about being hot, right?
She’s a dommy! (episode nine)
Ariana is hot as a blonde and as a brunette. In other news, water is wet and the Islanders are naughty.
Dora the Explora (episode eight)
We need a spin-off with just these two ladies, or at least a podcast.
Week One (episodes 1-7):
Belle-a, where the hell have you been loca? (Episode 4)
Siri, play “Super massive black hole.” It’s no surprise that Belle-a loves baseball, she brings the thunder.
“Yulissa has left the villa” (episode three)
Yulissa Escobar’s unexplained departure in episode two seemed very random for those not chronically online. But for the fans who are part-time super sleuths, they knew that viewers rallied to get her off the show after they uncovered clips of her using racial slurs.
Nic and Olandria making out (episode one)
Did we forget they totally made out on Day 1? Maybe the makeout challenge on Day 11 will remind you of that.
