Love Island USA: Episode 20 ends on cliffhanger after dramatic exit scene leaves villa in tears

Love Island USA’s latest episode left fans stunned as two original Islanders, Nic and Olandria, were eliminated—only for an unexpected twist to close the night.

During the Casa Amor recoupling, the bombshells made their selections. Zak chose to couple up with Amaya, leaving Olandria without a partner. No other bombshells chose her, meaning she was officially dumped from the villa.

In the original villa, the Casa Amor girls followed suit. Vanna selected TJ, which made Ace vulnerable. Clarke then chose to couple up with Ace, leaving Nic single. As per the rules, he was also asked to leave.

But as Nic walked out, a car pulled up beside him. To his surprise, Olandria opened the door and told him to get in. The episode cut to black, leaving fans without answers and raising speculation about a possible twist in store.

Online reactions quickly followed. “This season has officially lost its potential,” one fan wrote. Others questioned the direction of the plot, while some defended the move, saying Nic and Olandria deserved more time.

The surprising sequence has viewers debating whether the pair will return to the show as a couple or be sent to a separate villa. 

New episodes of Love Island USA season 7 air daily, except Wednesdays, at 9 pm ET on Peacock.
