It was clear that a bloodbath was coming to Love Island USA, and last night’s episode kicked off the slaughter. There were simply too many hotties in the villa, and now heads have gotta roll.
Hey — don’t blame me for using bloody language. It was Love Island who evoked Game of Thrones‘ infamous massacre by using #RedWedding in the text to the Islanders. But after seeing how last night’s vote and eliminations went down, #RedWedding seems appropriate. This isn’t a normal elimination ceremony. America voted, and four Islanders are getting the chop. Beware, because ahead there be Love Island USA spoilers!
And by “tonight” I mean “Thursday, August 17”? Let’s break it all down.
As host Sarah Hyland explained to the staggering 20 Islanders gathered around her, the four men and women with the least votes would be up for elimination. That’s a total of eight Islanders at risk of getting dumped from the villa! The eligible Islanders were revealed to be…
As for the men…
So far we only know one of the four. Sarah Hyland revealed that the two Islanders with the least amount of votes would immediately be dumped from the island. For the women, that dumpee is Hannah O. The episode then ends with Hyland teasing that the man with the lowest votes will immediately be dumped… and that’s where it cuts off. You’ll have to tune in tonight (Friday, August 18) to see which male Islander gets dumped.
But that is not all! Two more Islanders will join Hannah O. and the lowest-ranked man. As in previous dumpings, it’s likely that these eliminations will be decided by the safe Islanders. If the guys have to pick one of the bottom girls to go home, then I’d put money on Johnnie’s time being up. There’s no way that either Taylor is going, not with Jonah and Bergie there to fight for them.
As for the guys, I’d guess that Mike is the lowest-voted guy (he is paired with Hannah O. after all) and that the rest of the girls would vote to evict… Zay? Only because he’s now single, Destiny is not fighting for him, and he has no other allies. Kassy hates Leo, but there are others — like Kay Kay and maybe even Hannah W. — who could potentially vouch for him.
Who will be the next victims of Love Island USA’s Red Wedding? Tune into Peacock at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, August 18 to find out. New episodes of Love Island USA are added to Peacock from Thursday to Tuesday night.
