Season 7 of Love Island USA has so far seen the drama building up, and episode 18 of the show was no different, with one of the most emotional eliminations of the show. Viewers were garnered with anticipation as two additional islanders were voted off home after a dramatic elimination process that consisted of a public vote and a sentencing regulated by the rest of the other contestants within the villa. The dumped Islanders who found themselves kicked out of the villa were Jeremiah and Hannah, who had established budding relationships but failed to gain the most popularity in the view of the people, as well as their peers.
Jeremiah Rocky Journey Ends
Jeremiah experienced a very complex experience inside the show. He got matched up with Huda at the early stages of the season, and initially, their bond appeared to be good. Iit soon emerged that there was something wrong in their relationship. Other contestants and viewers portrayed the relationship between them as too intense, and many people were concerned about the possessive and emotional tension that began to emerge.
America finally cast its vote, which saw a big shakeup. Instead, Jeremiah had to be paired with Iris, and that provided one of the most dramatic moments in the show thus far this season. Huda did not handle the switch kindly and ended up going bonkers right in front of all the inhabitants of the villa. It was the scene that became a legend among fans and was named the Hurricane Huda.
Jeremiah decided to remain with Iris after that confrontation. They were also a lot more platonic and relaxed in their new relationship with each other, and they appeared to rely on each other as friends. Nevertheless, even trying to start over and establish trust on Friday, Jeremiah ended up in the bottom three male competitors after the vote of the audience. He was in danger of disqualification, together with Pepe and Austin.

Hannah’s Elimination Leaves the Girls Heartbroken
On the women’s side, Hannah was the one who ended up leaving the villa. Her time on the show had seen several highs and lows. She originally found a spark with bombshell Charlie, and it looked like a promising romance was developing. Unfortunately, Charlie was eliminated shortly after, and Hannah had to find a new path forward.
She was then paired with Pepe and began exploring that new connection. While they seemed to get along well and had just started to bond, the timing was not in her favor. When the public voted, Hannah ended up in the bottom three women alongside Iris and Amaya.
This time, it was up to the safe female islanders, Huda, Chelley, Olandria, and Cierra, to decide who would stay and who would be dumped from the villa. After much discussion, the group chose to send Hannah home. The decision was not easy. Hannah had strong friendships with many of the girls, and her departure was an emotional moment for everyone involved.
Voting Power Split Between Viewers and Islanders
What made this round of eliminations particularly interesting was the structure of the voting process. Viewers were asked to vote for their favorite islanders through the Love Island USA app. The three men and three women with the lowest votes were then put at risk of being eliminated.
However, instead of letting the audience choose who would go home, the power shifted to the safe islanders, who had to make the final decision. This approach added even more tension inside the villa, as personal relationships and alliances began to influence the outcome.
In Jeremiah’s case, the lack of a strong support system inside the villa likely contributed to his exit. For Hannah, her limited time with her new partner may not have been enough to convince the girls to keep her around.
