Love Island USA season 7 was a whole new ball game compared to earlier seasons of the show. Coming from the record-breaking season 6, viewers began the seventh in hopes that it would be just as good. Set in Fiji and hosted by Ariana Madix, Season 7 was one of the most dramatic yet; Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales shocked everyone by becoming the first Latino couple to win the U.S. version, and strong personalities like Huda Mustafa stole the show, helping to draw in viewers with her emotional breakdowns. The audience expressed feeling hooked by the surprise exit of Cierra Ortega and the quick switch-up to what is now everyone’s favorite couple, Nicolandria. Despite the ups and downs and mixed opinions from both islanders and the audience, this season delivered non-stop chaos, diverse casting, and crazy romantic twists. The Love Island USA villa may be empty for now, but the countdown until next year’s drama has already begun.
