“Love Island USA” season 7 kicked off on June 3 and is airing every weeknight, except Wednesdays, on Peacock and Bravo. The latest season has already stirred controversy following the exit of contestant Yulissa Escobar from Florida, whose departure was linked to resurfaced social media posts containing racial slurs.
As of now, three contestants from Florida remain in the competition: Austin Shepard (26, originally from Northville, Michigan but living in Fort Lauderdale), Chelley Bissainthe (27, from Orlando), and Nicolas Vansteenberghe (24, from Jacksonville).
Fans of the dating competition show are currently enjoying its third episode, which saw some unfolding drama. Unlike other reality dating shows, “Love Island USA” releases episodes nightly, with a special episode featuring Yulissa’s exit that aired on June 4 due to the premiere week.
Upcoming episodes will continue every night at 9 p.m. ET, with new episodes available to stream on Peacock and Bravo. Viewers can also revisit previous seasons on Peacock.
In terms of current relationships, couples developing this season include Chelley Bissainthe and Austin Shepard, Huda Mustafa with Jeremiah Brown, Nicolas Vansteenberghe coupled with Cierra Ortega, and Olandria Carthen alongside Taylor Williams. Following Yulissa’s exit, Ace Greene, Charlie Georgiou, and Bell-A Walker found themselves single at the end of the last episode.
The season’s competition culminates in a viewer vote determining the winning couple, adding an interactive element to the show as audiences engage with the contestants from the comfort of their homes.
The developments in this season suggest a mix of romance and controversy, keeping viewers hooked. As the show progresses, fans remain eager to see how relationships form and evolve amid the intense social environment.
