The temperature is officially turned up in Love Island USA Season 7. Sunday, June 15’s Episode 12 delivered the sort of recoupling drama viewers adore. New bombshells, cringe love triangles, and the threat of elimination looming large created maximum tension within the Fijian villa.
Three New Bombshells, One Big Twist
Just two days earlier, in Episode 10, three new bombshells arrived in the villa. That revelation caused ripples in current relationships. America was invited to decide with whom the newcomers should be paired up, and in Episode 12, the verdict was finally announced.
Everybody anticipated drama, but few were prepared for the emotional ride that ensued.

Who Stayed
As usual, the recoupling ceremony made islanders decide with whom they desired to couple up. The surprise? Nobody was safe, not even couples who seemed very strong. There were 14 contestants in the villa now, and the pressure was mounting.
Some couples played it safe. Others took reckless risks. But all of them did not end up happily.
When the new couplings were revealed, a couple of hearts were left in pieces. There were tears, stony stares, and some forced hugs. That is Love Island mayhem fans love.
Will Someone Go Home?
The most asked question leading into Episode 12 was: Will someone get dumped tonight?
At this stage of the season, just one competitor has been eliminated. With so many contestants in the show, things are getting a bit cramped. Fans are believing that a double elimination is on the way soon. After all, since 14 individuals remain in the villa, a shakeup cannot be avoided.
Although no one was eliminated outright in Episode 12, tension seems to indicate it won’t be long before a contestant gets the boot.
Ariana Madix Holds It Down
Back for the second season of hosting is Ariana Madix, who made her big break on Vanderpump Rules. She still brings charm, sass, and just the right amount of drama to the island. She raises the energy and helps plot through the multi-twist turns of each show.
She’s already gained a popular following.
