Ariana Madix began by revealing a shocking Casa Amor twist in Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 20, which stirred up drama for the whole cast. The girls were being taken to Casa Amor, which they mistook for a friendly kissing contest. As soon as they arrived at the villa, new female bombshells blindfolded the males and planted kisses to gauge their reactions.

A spectacular reconciliation took place after the girls departed for Casa Amor. In place of the customary villa pairing ceremony, new connections were forged under extreme pressure, as both returning original girls and their Casa Amor counterparts were forced to select new mates. The result? Two islanders were abruptly removed from the show and left without a partner.

The foundation of the villa was rocked at this crucial time. Everyone was left reeling from the emotional aftermath, new dynamics arose, and alliances were broken. The remaining cast must now deal with a significantly changed environment as the initial relationships are put to the test and their allegiances are reestablished.


What happened in Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 20?

As Ariana shocked the villa with a Casa Amor twist, Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 20 began with significant shake-ups. Under the pretense of some fun, the girls were escorted away, only to find out later that they were being sent to the split villa. An eventful week full of shifting allegiances, bombshells, and crucial decisions was hinted at by that prompt. In an unprecedented recoupling ceremony, two islanders would shortly be left unmarried and sent home.


Casa Amor leads to recoupling

The villa nearly fell apart as Ariana revealed the bombshell Casa Amor revelation in episode 20. The girls' ticket to Casa Amor, separated from the boys and thrown into a new villa filled with eleven new male bombshells eager to test shifting loyalties, was what they initially believed to be a lighthearted kissing game. Mystery female bombshells replaced the original men back at the main villa, blindfolding them and planting unexpected kisses to inflame tensions.

It was time for a spectacular recoupling on Love Island USA after both groups spent some time apart. Under unheard-of pressure, both newcomers to Casa Amor and original islanders had to select companions. The catch this time was that there was no way to opt out and everyone had to be reassigned. The dynamic completely changed when couples were split up and forced into new relationships. And with two people left without a companion? In an unexpected double elimination, they were sent home right away.

Casa Amor produced the most dramatic, erratic, and unrelentingly stressful lineup change of the season by requiring fresh pairings and hasty judgments.


Olandria and Nic eliminated

Olandria Carthen and Nicolas "Nic" Vansteenberghe were suddenly left alone after the recoupling ceremony, which sealed their doom. In a bizarre turn of events in Love Island USA episode 20 both were ignored despite having previously shown promise—Olandria with Taylor and Nic with Cierra.

There was no space for romance to blossom in the forced pairing, only icy calculation. Olandria and Nic were consequently were eliminated right away, and their trip came to an abrupt end. The other islanders were taken aback by their departure and had to rapidly reestablish their relationships in the wake of such a dramatic departure.
