Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 28: 5 Islanders Who Got Eliminated After Public Vote and Recoupling Twist

by

In an unexpected turn of events during the seventh season of Love Island USA, viewers were left stunned by a major elimination twist that unfolded on Thursday evening. The episode, broadcasted on Peacock at 9:00 pm Eastern Time, resulted in five Islanders exiting the villa following a public vote and intense realignments within the group.

Austin Shephard, Andreina Santos, Gracyn Blackman, Jaden Duggar, and TJ Palma were all eliminated from the competition. Taylor Williams narrowly avoided elimination as she was saved by a vote from the remaining contestants. This decision left viewers stunned, as many felt that some of the departing Islanders were authentic and contributed positively to the villa atmosphere.

Public vote decides who stays

Following an intense match, the elimination occurred swiftly. The game had instigated fresh conflicts, particularly among Huda Mustafa, Olandria Carthen, and Chris Seeley. Huda and Olandria found themselves at odds due to their mutual interest in Chris, who harbored feelings for Michelle ‘Chelley’ Bissainthe.

In simpler terms, Ariana Madix shared the outcome of the public vote, meaning six residents were potentially leaving the villa. Those who remained safe decided to keep Taylor Williams, which ultimately led to the departure of five others. Following this decision, Iris, Bryan, and Pepe found themselves without partners in the villa.

Here’s the cast of Love Island USA Season 7

Female Islanders:

  1. Chelley Bissainthe
  2. Huda Mustafa
  3. Olandria Carthen
  4. Isabella ‘Belle-A’ Walker
  5. Cierra Ortega
  6. Amaya Espinal
  7. Iris Kendall
  8. Hannah Fields
  9. Yulissa Escobar

Male Islanders:

  1. Ace Greene
  2. Austin Shepard
  3. Taylor Williams
  4. Jeremiah Brown
  5. Nicolas ‘Nic’ Vansteenberghe
  6. Jose ‘Pepe’ Garcia
  7. Charlie Georgio
  8. Jalen Brown

In this current coupling round, we’ve seen the most significant elimination of the season yet. Previously, during Season 7, Charlie Georgiou, Jeremiah Brown, and Hannah Fields were also cut from the competition due to the arrival of new contestants at Casa Amor. Now, with the recent departure of five Islanders, only 20 contestants are left as we swiftly approach the finale.

As an ardent follower, I couldn’t help but join the chorus of voices expressing surprise online about the unexpected eliminations. It seemed that there was a disconnect between what viewers like me were rooting for and how the Islanders were playing the game. Frankly, it left me in a state of shock to see sincere contestants such as Andreina Santos and Austin Shephard depart so early.

Love Island USA Season 7 breaks records

In contrast to some unexpected departures, Love Island USA’s seventh season has emerged as Peacock’s most successful series, according to News 18. After a somewhat sluggish start in previous seasons, the show found its rhythm in Season 6 and has seen a surge in popularity this year. As reported by Deadline, the show saw its largest audience when Casa Amor was introduced.

The fresh episodes are shown daily, excluding Wednesdays, at 7:00 pm Eastern Time on Peacock. Viewers are eagerly anticipating the upcoming episodes to find out how the last 20 islanders manage the remaining weeks and if there will be any more dramatic surprises.
