Love Island USA season 7 is now officially over, but for those of you who want to revisit all the twists and turns, we've got you covered with a full recounting of every painful Love Island USA season 7 dumping. From the dramatic exits—ahem, Cierra Ortega—to the shocking votes—so sorry, Jeremiah Brown!—the eliminations were always surprising. Read on to find out how long the singles lasted in the Villa—and which couple ended up winning Love Island USA season 7.

ICYMI, on Love Island USA, contestants are either eliminated by fans, who vote to keep their favorite contestants or couples via the Love Island USA app, or by their fellow Islanders in a fire pit vote. Occasionally, if there is a recoupling, those left single might also be asked to leave. But outside behavior can also affect your time in Fiji. And with that said, here is a complete list of the Love Island USA season 7 eliminations.

Yulissa Escobar

At the beginning of episode 2 of Love Island USA season 7, it was announced that Yulissa had left the villa. No explanation was given, but in the absence of a vote or recoupling, many are speculating that Yulissa was asked to leave Fiji after videos of her using the N-word and other racist language reportedly surfaced online.

Belle-A Walker

The second bombshell to exit the villa was Belle-A, who was infamously caught in a love triangle with Nic Vansteenberghe and Cierra Ortega. She was eliminated in the more traditional sense, as Nic had to choose between her and Cierra to move forward with.

Once she was eliminated, Belle-A seemingly slammed Nic, telling People, “So I am an investment, and you’re not going to see the return on me the first day that you meet me. Nic was not willing to make that investment. He was more interested in seeing what was beneath my clothes and not beneath my surface. It really wasn’t my loss.”

Charlie Georgiou

Bombshell Charlie was the next to go. He was left vulnerable in episode 12 after America voted to break up his relationship with Hannah Fields so that she could be in a new relationship with bombshell newcomer Pepe. Cold, I know, but in America’s defense, Hannah’s chemistry with Pepe was undeniable!

America also voted to recouple two others, which left three Islanders on the chopping block: Charlie, Huda Mustafa, and Taylor Williams. The remaining contestants who did not recouple then cast their vote to eliminate one of their own. Sadly, despite deciding to be exclusive with Hannah minutes before being called to the fire pit, Charlie’s earlier behavior caused doubt in his commitment to Hannah and he was eliminated with three votes. Heartbreaking!

Jalen Brown

Not even two days after Charlie's exit, another bombshell was asked to leave the villa. Jalen had only just started his time in the villa, and had been hoping to win over Olandria after fans voted for them to coupe up. Sadly, his coupledom was short-lived. After an Open Door challenge, both he and Huda were left single and the remaining Islanders had to vote for who they wanted to keep.

Desite all her drama, Huda received the most votes—with eight people standing behind her—and Jalen—with four votes—was sent packing.

Jeremiah Brown

Jeremiah was the next to go. After finally breaking things off with Huda for good, Jeremiah was looking forward to building a new connection with new bombshell Andreina, but America and the other boys in the villa had other plans.

After a fan vote for their favorite islanders landed Jeremiah in the bottom 3 of the guys, he was dumped by his fellow islanders, Taylor, Ace, and Nic.

Hannah Fields

Hannah also had her time in Fiji cut short by America's votes and her fellow islanders after she also landed in the bottom three after a fan vote. Like with Jeremiah's elimination, it was up to Hannah's fellow islanders—Olandria, Cierra, and Chelley—to determine which of the bottom three ladies they wanted to send home. In the end, they picked Hannah, making it one of the most surprising eliminations thus far.

It seems like Olandria, Cierra, and Chelley chose to dump Hannah because she had already experienced a lot of highs in the villa, i.e. her connection with Charlie, while the other two ladies in the bottom three—Amaya and Iris—had yet to form strong connections. But what about Hannah and Pepe?! Whatever will happen to him now?

CoCo Watson, JD Dodard, Vanna Einerson, Zac Woodworth

CoCo, JD, Vanna, and Zac each joined this season of Love Island during the Casa Amor challenge, which separated the original cast and forced everyone to recouple with new players. Unfortunately, at the end of the week, all players had to return to the Villa and decide who they really wanted to be with.

Following a round of recoupling, the couples were only allowed to save one single guy and one single girl, with the groups eventually deciding on Olandria and Elan and sending CoCo, JD, Vanna, and Zac packing.

Andreina Santos

Another mass dumping came the following week, after America voted for their favorite Islanders. The bottom three girls and boys were left vulnerable, and this time the safe Islanders could only vote to save one. In the end, a majority voted for Taylor to stay (yes, despite what he's done to Olandria), and Andreina, Jaden, Gracyn, and Austin were all sent home.

Andreina's dumping is the most tragic, IMO, but at least she got to leave knowing that Amaya, Huda, and Chelley all had her back.

Austin Shepard

Austin was never a fan favorite, so it wasn't a shock to see him land in the bottom three. Only one Islander, Olandria, voted to save him.

TJ Palma

TJ and Iris were finally making gains as a couple, but after only Iris and Zak voted to keep him, he was dumped.

Gracyn Blackmore

As if getting unceremoniously dumped by Pepe wasn't bad enough, Gracyn was sent packing with only one person voting to keep her around—Elan.

Jaden Duggar

Jaden and Austin's connection was going strong, and, just like her connection, she was dumped after earning votes from just Bryan and Chris.

Cierra Ortega

At the top of episode 30, the narrator announced that Cierra had left the villa due to a “personal situation.” No official comment has been made, but fans were calling for her to be dumped from the show after old screenshots appeared to show Cierra using a slur on her Instagram (the screenshots have not been confirmed).

Zak Srakaew

A recoupling left Zak, Elan, Bryan, Pepe, and Nick—the five men who didn't have secure relationships in the Villa—on the chopping block. In the end, Iris chose to couple up with Pepe while Olandria saved Nic, leaving Amaya to choose between Zak, Elan, and Bryan. And while she said she was excited to be friends with Zak, she wasn't feeling the romantic spark and he was sent home.

Elan Bibas

Elan tried to grow a connection with Amaya before eliminations, but at the end of the day, she felt a stronger connection to Bryan and Elan left with Zak by his side.

Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway

For the first time this season, America finally decided who was dumped from the Island via a vote for the best couple. And, to no one's surprise, the couple with the least amount of votes was Taylor and Clarke.

It was a bittersweet exit for the couple, who had just officially become closed off. They said that they plan to continue to pursue their relationship outside of the Villa.

Fans voting for their faves determined the top four couples, which means one more couple had to be dumped on Friday, July 11. That couple, sadly, was Chelley and Ace, who despite being one of the most well-established couples in the house, did not receive enough votes to get to the finale.

Iris and Pepe had a romantic snorkel date to end their time in the Villa and seemed committed to continue to date in the real world. Sadly, they were the first couple eliminated on finale night.

3rd Place: Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley

Huda and Chris broke up the day before the winner was announced, and though they had a few moments of awkwardness, they managed to say a few nice words together as they parted ways and—to Huda's shock—came in third place!
