Who Went Home on Love Island USA? Find Out Which Season 7 Contestants Were Dumped From the Villa

Here are the season 7 Islanders who have packed their bags and left Fiji

Love Island USA is in full swing, meaning there’s been no shortage of dramatic entrances from new bombshells — and emotional goodbyes from departing Islanders.

Season 7 of the Peacock reality dating show kicked off on June 3, bringing a fresh group of singles to a Fijian villa to take their shot at love (and a $100,000 cash prize).

Five women stepped into the villa in the first episode: Olandria Carthen, Belle-A Walker, Huda Mustafa, Chelley Bissainthe and Yulissa Escobar. They were quickly joined by five single men, including Jeremiah Brown, Austin Shepard, Ace Greene, Taylor Williams and Nicolas Vansteenberghe.

As always, it wasn’t long until some bombshells (and the highly-anticipated Casa Amor) arrived, stirring things up for the couples and leading to some original Islanders being dumped from the island.

So who has gone home on Love Island USA? Find out which Islanders have been dumped from the season 7 villa.

Yulissa was the first Islander to leave the villa, though she wasn’t exactly dumped.

Nearly 18 minutes into the second episode, Peacock announced that Yulissa was no longer on the show. Her exit seemed to happen overnight, despite her being in a couple with Ace at the time.

Several outlets reported that her departure came because viewers uncovered instances of her saying racist slurs, which she apologized for in an Instagram post a few days after her exit.

“First, I want to apologize for using a word I had no right in using,” she said. “Podcast clips from years ago have recently resurfaced, and I want to address it directly.”

She continued, “In those clips, I used a word I never should’ve used, a racial slur. I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn’t trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn’t excuse impact.”

Belle-A Walker

Belle-A was the first Islander to be officially dumped from the Island. She was originally coupled up with Nic, who then chose to pair up with Cierra Ortega. This sent Belle-A home during the season’s first recoupling.

A few days later, Belle-A opened up to PEOPLE about her departure, explaining that she was “caught off guard.”

“Let me just tell you, that boy reassured me up and down and made it seem like I was not going home that night,” she said. “Of course, I knew it could have gone either direction, but moments, moments before the recoupling, my last conversation was with him and he was telling me, ‘Belle-A, you don’t have anything to worry about. I don’t want you worrying about going into this.’ “

She continued, “And so I stopped worrying. And then what did he do? He sent me packing my bags.”

Jalen Brown

Jalen had his eyes set on Olandria from the moment he entered the villa as a bombshell. But in episode 14, the Georgia trucker was dumped from the Island after Olandria chose to recouple with Taylor.

After his departure, Jalen returned home as an internet sensation and quickly racked up over a million TikTok followers.

Charlie Georgio

Charlie Georgio entered the villa as a bombshell on the second night. Though he didn’t find an immediate connection with any of the original Islanders, he had a nearly instant romance with Hannah Fields, who joined as a bombshell a few episodes later.

But in episode 12, Charlie was left vulnerable when viewers chose to couple up Hannah and new bombshell Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez. This left the rest of the Islanders to eliminate one person between Charlie, Taylor and Huda.

Charlie received the most votes and was dumped from the villa — just hours after he and Hannah professed their feelings for one another.

During a conversation with PEOPLE after his exit, Charlie recalled his “beautiful” final chat with Hannah.

“I think, as everybody saw, the way in which it happened was just not nice, to kind of have that moment with Hannah where we’ve been through the last few days of this up and down, ‘Am I losing her? Will I get her back?’ ” he said. “She’s gone off of someone else, and then she comes back, and then we have this beautiful conversation where you think, ‘Okay, this is it. This is going to be the beginning of our Love Island journey.’ “

Hannah Fields

After joining the villa as a bombshell, Hannah found an instant connection with Charlie. She was left devastated after his exit, but moved forward with her new connection, Pepe.

In episode 18, Hannah was left vulnerable after America voted on their favorite contestants.

Despite having a connection with Pepe, Hannah was dumped by her fellow Islanders Chelley, Cierra, Olandria and Huda.

After her elimination, Hannah told PEOPLE that she has her “fingers crossed that maybe [Pepe] goes back out and he’s single.” However, she also understands if he finds a new romance in the villa.

“He deserves the world, and if he finds a connection that’s not me, at least I know that he’s happy, because I think he’s somebody that I know would not force anything,” she said. “I think if anything really works out for him, then that’s what’s meant to be.”

Jeremiah Brown

Jeremiah coupled up with Huda on the first day, sparking what would become a tumultuous relationship full of ups and downs for the first few episodes.

America then chose to couple him up with bombshell Iris Kendall. Shortly after, the pair acknowledged their relationship was platonic, and Jeremiah began to form a connection to bombshell Andreina Santos

By episode 18, Jeremiah exited the villa alongside Hannah in the double elimination. After he was left vulnerable by America’s votes, he was dumped by Ace, Taylor and Nic.

After this season’s Casa Amor, all Islanders returned to the main villa. But when it came time for a recoupling, six Islanders remained single and vulnerable: Zac Woodworth, CoCo Watson, JD Dodard, Vanna Einerson, Elan Bibas and Olandria.

The rest of the Islanders were given the opportunity to save two contestants. The main villa group voted to save Olandria, while the Casa Amor crew chose to save Elan, dumping Zac, CoCo, JD and Vanna from the island.

After the July 1 episode, viewers were asked to vote for their favorite Islanders. A few days later on July 3, host Ariana Madix revealed the results — which ended in five contestants being dumped from the villa.

The bottom three women were Andreina, Jaden Duggar and Gracyn Blackmore, while the bottom three men were Taylor, Austin and TJ Palma.

The safe Islanders were given the opportunity to save just one person. Taylor received the most votes — with Clarke Carraway, Pepe, Ace, Nic and Cierra on his side — which meant Andreina, Jaden, Gracyn, Austin and TJ were sent packing.

Cierra Ortega

During the July 6 episode, narrator Iain Stirling announced that Cierra had left the villa due to a “personal situation,” leaving Nic single.

The unexpected exit came after multiple racist posts allegedly made by Cierra resurfaced online. At least two of them reportedly contained slurs that are offensive to Chinese people.

In a July 5 post made to Cierra’s Instagram Stories, her parents asked viewers to have “compassion,” “patience” and “basic human decency.”

“We’re not here to justify or ignore what’s surfaced,” they wrote. “We understand why people are upset, and we know accountability matters. But what’s happening online right now has gone far beyond that.”

They continued, “While Cierra is not in the villa anymore, she is still away. She hasn’t had the chance to process any of this or speak for herself. But we know our daughter. We know her heart. And when she returns, we believe she’ll face this with honesty, growth, and grace.”

During that episode’s recoupling, Nic paired up with Olandria, who was also single.
