Love Island USA Season 7 is full of dramatic highs and lows, and this time, fans were left speechless by Chelley's unannounced breakdown.

Viewers anticipated turmoil as the recoupling got underway and the girls returned to the main villa, but instead they witnessed a very touching farewell.
During the recoupling, Olandria's removal was unexpected, particularly considering how close she was to several of the islanders. When Chelley learned that her best friend was no longer with her, she broke down in tears. She had developed a sincere bond with Olandria.
