What is Love Island?
Love Island is a reality dating show on Peacock where contestants, also known as islanders, enter a villa on a secluded island for nearly two months with hopes of finding true love. The show has developed a passionate fan base that tunes in several times a week for the chaos, drama, and romance that comes with multiple men and women living under one roof for an extended period of time.
Throughout the process, islanders are always at risk of being dumped from the island. However, viewers have the power to vote for their favorite couples to remain in the villa and win $100,000 by lasting through the finale. The most recent season, season 7, premiered on June 3, and comes to an end on July 13.
Who are the season 7 finalists? (spoiler ahead)
After a shocking elimination of Chelly and Ace on Saturday night, four couples remain in the villa.
• Amaya and Bryan
• Olandria and Nic
• Iris and Pepe
• Huda and Chris
