'Love Island USA' Season 8 Episode 29 recap: Secret mission, shock save, and final 6 revealed

The show premieres new episodes daily, except Wednesdays, on Peacock at 9pm ET/6pm PT

A public vote and a secret villa challenge dominated Monday's episode of Love Island USA, with growing questions over the future of Kenzie and Dylan's relationship as the competition narrowed to its final six couples.

The latest public vote produced one of the season's biggest surprises, with KC and TiTi surviving despite expecting to be eliminated. Their reprieve frustrated Kayda and Trinity, while Zach appeared shaken by the result before being comforted by Bryce.

The following morning, Kenzie questioned the girls about whether she would have been voted out had they not been saved. Elsewhere, Dylan admitted to Carl that he was unsure whether Kenzie's behaviour in the villa reflected a pattern he could trust outside the show.

The episode then shifted focus to a secret mission after TiTi received a text instructing the girls to complete a series of undercover tasks without the boys discovering the challenge.

The assignments included getting the boys to say "French Fries", persuading them to jump into the pool, requesting massages, and convincing one of them to apply make-up. The girls completed every task successfully before revealing the prank.

Later, Kenzie confronted Dylan over discussing their relationship with Carl, while Dylan remained concerned about what he viewed as inconsistent behaviour.

After encouragement from Zach, Dylan later told Kenzie she had not given him enough reassurance and accused her of being dishonest. Kenzie replied, "If you can't trust me, then this is not going to work."

Elsewhere, Sincere reassured Melanie about their future together, while Zach and Kayda agreed to be "exclusively dating" outside the villa despite their elimination.
