Love Island USAseason 7 episode 16 wasa mix of Bombshells exploring the villa and Islanders beefing with one another, resulting in one of the most disgusting games the show’s ever put on and, more excitingly, a fan vote that could change everything. ThroughoutLove Island USAseason 7, there have been some moments that have been more enjoyable than others. While the drama of the season has been consistently exciting, seeing the couples pair up and then break apart has been the best part of the season, while the challenges the Islanders have participated has been the worst.
Even though the challenges aren’t bad, necessarily, they’ve all been a bit more out-there than in previous years. Whether or not the challenges seem like they’re more interesting this year or not still remains to be seen, and while my money’s on that they are more interesting overall, they are also more point blank disgusting. Whilethis episode had a lot more to it than a gross-out challenge, the milk is going to be what viewers remember.With Bombshells Andreina Santos and TJ Palmaexploring the villa as Huda Mustafa tried to get back on her feet, things are changing.
Andreina & TJ Got To Know The Islanders
Jeremiah Connected With Andreina
As the Islanders have been welcoming to Bombshells all season, there was a wave of excitement surrounding the arrival of Andreina and TJ, as they’re the first Bombshells in the mix sinceHuda and Jeremiah Brown’s major split. With Jeremiah quickly scooping Andreina for a chat, Huda did her best to get to know TJ quickly, hopeful that she’d be able to make a connection. While things have been going well for other couples, like Nic Vansteenberghe & Cierra Ortega and newly together Ace Greene & Chelley Bissainthe,the Islanders all wanted to see if they had potential new connections.
Nic and Andreina seemed to hit it off quickly, but it was clear throughout the episode that he was also recommitting to his connection with Cierra, especially in seeing her hit it off with TJ.Cierra and Nic ultimately re-solidified their relationship, getting intimate and sharing jealousy over each other’s potential other connections throughout the episode. Elsewhere,the focus of the new Bombshell connectionsshined a spotlight on Andreina and Jeremiah, who were clicking quickly. While Jeremiah was suspicious in his quick connection with Andreina to some, especially with Iris Kendall still in the mix, it felt natural to others.
A Milk-Fueled Game Revealed Who The Islanders Are Beefing With
Huda Crossed A Line With Hannah & Pepe
One of the most disgusting games inLove Island USAhistory made its way into the middle of the episode, and though it was gross to watch, it did a good job highlighting social dynamics. The game requiredthe guys to sit beneath a rubber cow udder, milking it into their mouths and then spitting the milk into their partner’s mouth,who then transferred the milk into a bucket. Eventually, the bucket would be dumped over another Islander’s head after the pair answered a provocative question, like"who do you think needs to leave the herd?"
The challenge saw so many Islanders matched up with people they weren’t coupled up with that it was surprising, but the most shocking part of the game were the answers to the questions. WithHuda getting called out for stirring up drama, Jeremiah being told he should leave the herd,Ace getting called out for a lack of commitment, and Iris getting called a side chick, the answers were incredibly revealing. The Islanders enjoyed the game, but it was potentially the most physically disgusting thing they’ve done all season.
Existing Relationships Changed As A Fan Vote Looms
Viewers Will Have The Chance To Impact The Villa
By the end of the episode, a lot was up in the air when it came to the current standing ofLove Island USAseason 7’s couples. With Huda potentially into Pepe Garcia, which left her stepping on Hannah Fields' toes, Jeremiah potentially interested in choosing Andreina over Iris, and Nic & Cierra potentially interested in other Islanders despite their strong connection,the next recoupling is going to be an interesting one. On top of the drama between the Islanders, aLove Island USAfan vote occurred after the episode, which will be sure to change things more than expected.
