‘Love Island USA’ Season 7’s Final Eliminations End With America’s Favorite Couple Winning It All

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!

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 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 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, 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.

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

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

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).

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 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.

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.

Spoilers ahead! Only read on if you want to find out who was crowned America's Favorite Couple and took home the $100,000 prize.

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.

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!
