Love Island USA‘s season 7 premiere kicked off summer on Tuesday with an intriguing and suspenseful first episode.
The cast coupled up for the first time of the season, and it was revealed that Chelley and Ace had previously met each other, although they did not end up as a couple. Yulissa ended up choosing Ace, which caused Chelley to couple with Austin.
Despite not being in a couple, Ace and Chelley are still expressing interest in exploring their connection with each other.
Most of the cast expressed interest in exploring connections with other islanders outside of their primary couple as well. For example, Nic is currently coupled up with Belle-a, but he said he also wants to get to know Olandria better.
Love Island USA is a Peacock reality TV show in which the cast spends their summer in a villa in Fiji “looking for love.” The islanders couple up with their love interests, but the couples change often, especially when “bombshells” enter the show, whom the islanders can get to know and even re-couple with.
The episode ended with two new bombshells, Charlie and Cierra, entering the villa, but their identities have not been revealed to the islanders.
Since it was the first episode of the season, the true personalities of the islanders are not quite prominent, and most of the cast still seems as if they need to become comfortable with the others in the villa.
Once the cast settles in and friendships form, relationships may become messy because of all of the initial expressions of interest in more than one islander from many individuals.
Overall, the season is off to a good start, and the islanders have the potential to make it an entertaining summer.
