Looking Back on the Wild Moments from Love Island USA Season 7

From eye-catching entrances to some memorable dance-offs, the latest season of Love Island USA certainly kept viewers entertained. Now that it’s been a couple of weeks since the reunion—co-hosted by Ariana Maddix and Andy Cohen—it’s a good time to highlight some of the most outrageous and steamy moments that made national television so interesting this year.

Throughout over 30 episodes, fans experienced a whirlwind of feelings: love, heartbreak, a bit of scandal, and primarily, lots of fun. The islanders took on numerous challenges and shared countless behind-the-scenes giggles—like the memorable Speak Easy segment, which many agreed was a fun addition. In every task, they didn’t shy away from pushing boundaries, sometimes quite literally!

If you’re eager to refresh your memory as we gear up for the reunion airing on Peacock on August 25, here’s a rundown of some of the hottest moments from the season. And trust me, there’s a lot to discuss.

1. “Pucker or Pie” Challenge

   Chelley Bissainthe truly brought her wild side to the “Pucker or Pie” challenge. At one point, she found herself in a whipped cream pie situation while still coupled with Austin Shepherd—something I had almost forgotten. But what really stole the show was her steamy make-out session with Sierra Ortega, earning her the unofficial title of MVP for this particular challenge.

2. Hannah’s Saliva Moments

   Hanna Fields turned up the heat during the “Dominate Tricks” challenge when she, um, shared an unusual experience with Charlie George Wu. Thankfully, he seemed to find it “tasty”! Shortly after, while paired with Pepe Garcia, the cameras caught some more intimate moments involving, well, saliva—definitely made me wonder about the producers telling contestants to tone it down a bit at night!

3. The Milk Challenge

   I mean, this challenge was just… not for me. The thought of downing milk that had been sitting in the sun, only to spit it into someone else’s mouth? It’s pretty hard to digest—pun intended. But judging by what I caught online, some people were totally into it!

4. Casa Amor vs. Villa

   No one was playing nice when the islanders competed in what was essentially a “kiss-off.” During the Casa Amor episode, the original cast had to vie against newcomers, going for the most passionate smooches. I mean, whether it was Huda Mustafa locking lips with Chris Seeley or Cierra and Elan Bibas pulling off some daring moves, it was a juicy competition all around!

5. Amaya and Brian’s First Kiss

   Amaya Espinal has always had a flair for drama, right down to her unique style. When she and Brian Arenales finally kissed outside of a challenge, she was wearing this chic mumu. Surprisingly, despite all the layers, things got pretty passionate, marking the start of what looks like a beautiful relationship.

6. Iris and Pepe’s Entrance

   Who could have predicted that Iris Kendall and Pepe would end up as one of the final couples? Their entrance was nothing short of striking—they sauntered in, decked out in leather and lace. Although their romance took longer to bloom, their introduction was surely one of the most captivating of the whole season.

7. Huda’s Dancing

   When it comes to putting on a show, no one could top Huda. Whether it was during the heart rate challenge or while shimmying up a pole in “Viva Las Villa,” her moves had everyone captivated—she really knows how to command attention. Maybe she should create a TikTok account to share her dance secrets!

8. Nick and Olandria’s Sweet Moment

   For fans of Nicolandria, you probably remember that things didn’t heat up between them until late in the season. Still, they had some undeniably steamy moments, culminating in a playful and rather wild encounter where Nic Vansteenberghe decided to lick Olandria Carthen’s toes. Definitely took things in an unexpected direction!
