It looks like the first recoupling of Love Island USA Season 7 has left everyone in the villa feeling shaken up.
In an exclusive sneak peek of tonight’s episode obtained by DECIDER, it seems like most of the couples will be at odds with each other after that shocking elimination.
The season’s first elimination ended with Nicolas Vansteenberghe choosing Cierra Ortega over Belle-A Walker, leading to Walker’s exit from the villa. But Ortega is in for a surprise in tonight’s episode when Olandria Carthen accidentally reveals to her that Vansteenberghe and Walker shared a steamy kiss together just minutes before their defining moment in the photo booth.
The revelation seems to give Ortega second thoughts about Vansteenberghe. “Did you not think I was ever gonna find out?” she says of Vansteenberghe in the preview. “I can’t continue on if that’s how you’re gonna move.”
Ace Greene also made the somewhat shocking decision of choosing newcomer Amaya Espinal over Chelley Bissainthe during Sunday’s recoupling. But it looks like the honeymoon period could be over as Espinal admits in tonight’s episode that she’s already “questioning” their connection.
And she’s not the only person questioning their feelings in the villa.
Taylor Williams seemed to be going strong with Carthen, who he’s been coupled up with since the start of Season 7. But is there something missing for this Oklahoma cowboy? “If it’s not there, it’s not there,” Williams tells Greene at one point in the clip. Meanwhile, Austin Shepard complains that he’s “tired” of being in a love triangle with Bissainthe and Greene.
Not all of the couples are on the outs, however.
Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa, who have declared themselves the “mom and dad” of the group, will get the chance to go on their first official date together in tonight’s episode. But the couple seem to miss all of the villa drama. “You guys left the house and the kids made a mess,” Shepard tells them that evening.
Luckily, Love Island USA fans will get to see all of the drama for themselves in tonight’s episode.
New episodes of Love Island USA air on Peacock everyday except for Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
