Love Island USA Elimination Results: Islanders Vote to Save Taylor
Taylor on Love Island is much more popular among his fellow Islanders than he is among the American public. Despite ranking last in votes in almost every category of the “Hate to Burst Your Bubble” challenge, Taylor’s castmates voted to rescue him from elimination, allowing him to stay on the show.
Clarke and Taylor can now continue to explore their relationship, after Taylor unforgettably declared “I pick Clarke” in Episode 26. Despite being voted last by America in almost every category of the challenge, the Lovebirds are hanging on and Clarke managed to stay out of the “bottom 6” danger zone.
The tense elimination segment began with Madix announcing Jaden, Gracyn, and Andreina as the bottom 3 girls, and TJ, Taylor, and Austin as the bottom 3 boys.
The Islanders appeared stunned when Madix announced they could only save ONE of their friends. Then the voting began.
Clarke predictably voted to save her partner, Taylor.
Iris voted to save TJ.
Bryan voted to save Jaden, shockingly walking past Andreina, with whom he was coupled.
Pepe voted to save Taylor, awkwardly avoiding Gracyn after having ended things with her earlier that night. Gracyn was, however, chosen by Elan.
Olandria chose to save Austin, calling him her “bestie.”
Huda chose to stand behind Andreina, as did Amaya.
Chris chose Jaden and Zak chose TJ.
Chelley wanted Andreina to stay on the show.
Nic chose Taylor. He was joined behind the Oklahoma native with Nic, Ace, and Cierra, who apologized for bypassing Andreina.
With five Islanders standing behind him, Taylor was saved from elimination.
Love Island “Burst Your Bubble” Challenge Recap & Discussion
As the challenge began, the boys said they’d trust Jaden with their deepest, darkest secret. America said they wouldn’t trust Clarke.
Olandria was chosen by the boys as the most genuine girl n the show, with Austin declaring his “bestie” for sure keeps it “very real.”
America voted “Amaya Papaya” as the most genuine girl, and put Clarke in last place.
America decided they wanted to go on vacation with Amaya and Zak, with Cierra and Nic coming in second.
Chelley and Ace are voted in 8th place for best couple to take a vacation with, which Ace calls “insane.”
Clarke and Taylor came in last, as they did in almost every category. For whatever reason, it seems America definitely does not like Clarke and Taylor as of the “Hate to Burst Your Bubble” challenge results. This may be for the way Taylor appeared to ditch Olandria after coupling up with her perhaps to stay on the Island.
Recapping Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 27
Need a quick catchup on what happened on Love Island last night before you watch tonight’s episode? No worries. Read on for a quick recap.
One of the most stunning moments of the July 3 episode was when Pepe ended things with Gracyn. He told her he simply couldn’t find a spark and doesn’t know why.
“He just ended it,” cried Gracyn after Clarke asked what happened.
Another fiery moment was the extremely strange conversation between Amaya and Zak. Despite choosing to couple up with her, Zak said he didn’t appreciate Amaya’s initial advances towards him.
He told Amaya he felt she crossed a boundary when she asked to kiss him in the early days on the Island. Amaya exploded, telling Zak “You’re an extremely odd individual” before storming off.
Later, Chelley and Huda had a talk about the status of their friendship. Even if things might not be completely patched up, they seem to have found some common ground.
