What's next in Love Island USA season 7 episode 13?

Love Island USA Season 7 has been a rollercoaster of romance, drama, and unexpected twists, and Episode 12 left fans reeling with its shocking elimination. As we head into Episode 13, airing on Peacock on June 16, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET, viewers are eager to see how the villa dynamics shift. Recap of Episode 12: A Shocking Elimination
Episode 12, which aired on June 13, 2025, brought one of the season's most dramatic recoupling ceremonies yet. The episode saw Charlie Georgiou dumped from the villa after failing to secure a connection during the recoupling. Charlie, a bombshell who entered on Night 2, stirred the pot with his blindfold kissing challenge but struggled to form a lasting bond. His elimination came as a surprise to some fans, given his early chemistry with Chelley Bissainthe, but his indecision ultimately left him single.
The episode ended with a cliffhanger, teasing a new challenge that could shake up the villa further. What to Expect in Episode 13
While specific spoilers for Episode 13 are limited, the preview at the end of Episode 12 suggests a steamy challenge that will test the Islanders' loyalty and spark new tensions. Here's what fans can anticipate based on the show's patterns and the current villa dynamics: 1. A New Challenge to Stir Drama
Love Island USA is known for its heart-racing challenges, and Episode 13 is likely to feature a game similar to the 'Getting to Fourth Base' challenge from Episode 4 or the blindfold kissing challenge from Episode 2. Expect tasks that push physical boundaries, potentially causing jealousy among couples like Amaya and Ace, who are already on shaky ground. The challenge could also give single Islanders, if any remain, a chance to turn heads. 2. Ace and Amaya's Tension Escalates
Parade's recap noted Ace Greene's 'player' behavior, particularly his flirtations with Chelley while coupled with Amaya. Episode 13 may see Amaya confront Ace, especially if the new challenge exposes his wandering eye. Will Amaya stand her ground, or could this lead to another recoupling decision? 3. Huda and Jeremiah's Trust Issues
Huda's insecurity about Jeremiah's openness to other connections, as highlighted in Sportskeeda's coverage, remains unresolved. Episode 13 could force them to address these issues, either strengthening their bond or pushing them toward a breakup. A challenge involving bombshells might test Jeremiah's commitment, reigniting Huda's doubts. 4. Potential New Bombshells
Love Island USA thrives on twists, and Episode 13 could introduce new bombshells to disrupt the current couples. After Charlie and Cierra's arrival in Episode 2, the show has kept viewers guessing about when fresh faces will enter.

All About the Bombshells Who Just Joined the Cast of 'Love Island USA' Season 7

It's safe to say that Love Island—no matter where in the world you're watching it from—has become a cultural phenomenon. The latest season of the series's American version—Love Island USA—has dominated our television screens this summer with its messy depictions of modern-day dating playing out as live entertainment for all the world to witness. The show has aired an hour-long episode on Peacock every night at 9 p.m. ET since its premiere, and even for the most dedicated fans, it's hard to keep track of everyone looking for love within the villa. Ahead, get to know who's who within the cast and learn about all of the latest Chelley is a day trader and model from Miami, Florida, bringing brains and beauty to the villa. She also does not put labels on her sexuality, and has had serious relationships with both men and women in the past. She is a favorite of both the fans and the contestants in the villa, receiving affection from Ace, Austin, and (briefly) Charlie. She was coupled up with Austin from day one, though to the trained eye she appeared to have her heart set on Ace. Their relationship finally came to fruition in episode 14, when Chelley and Ace chose to couple up together. Her Instagram is @_slimthin.Olandria is a 27-year-old beauty from Decatur, Alabama, working in elevator and escalator sales. She has been single for five years, and is looking for a 'good southern man' to complement her Alabama upbringing. It was no shock when she coupled up with resident cowboy Taylor right off the bat in episode 1. She recoupled with newcomer Jalen in episode 12, excited to have another country boy in the mix but not quite ready to let go of Taylor. By episode 14, she chose to couple back up with Taylor rather than stick with Jalen. She voted against Jalen in the majority, helping to send him home. Her Instagram is @x__0lan.Huda is a 24-year-old Palestinian fitness coach and mother from Raleigh, North Carolina. Her relationship with Jeremiah has dominated screen time since episode 1, with their relationship moving the fastest of anyone in the villa. She is the only contestant who is a parent, and chose not to immediately disclose that she had a daughter to any of the men. Huda revealed to Jeremiah that she has a daughter in episode 4, changing the dynamic of their relationship and seemingly causing distance between the two. The cracks in their relationship deepened when bombshell Iris arrived, encroaching on Huda's territory and eventually being recoupled with Jeremiah in episode 12. The recoupling left Huda crushed, and Jeremiah's lack of equal disappointment sent her spiraling. While her resulting outburst was not well received, many sympathize with her, noting the stigma around Huda being the only mother on the show. While Huda received three votes to be dumped from the island, Charlie received four, keeping her in the game. After continued bickering between Huda and Jeremiah, he chose to stay coupled with Iris in episode 14, officially cutting ties with Huda. Though still single, she survived the vote and remains in the game. Her Instagram is @ is a 22-year-old Christian model living in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was the first contestant to be dumped by the villa. She held strong to her philosophy of no kissing on a first date, which may have played a part in Nic's ability to find a more solid connection elsewhere. Belle-A got the short end of the stick in the first love triangle of the season, with Nic's decision to couple up with Cierra in episode 2 leaving her single and vulnerable until she was voted out in episode 6. Her Instagram is @ is a 27-year-old Cuban bar owner from Miami, Florida. She chose to couple up with Ace in episode 1, but was missing from the villa in episode 2. Her absence was not addressed until Ace mentioned being single later in the episode. Supposedly, her disappearance aligned with the resurfacing of clips of her using a racial slur on a podcast. Fans were shocked at her abrupt departure, and it is still under speculation whether she left voluntarily or was sent home. On her Instagram, @yulissaaescobar, she posted an apology, stating, '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… To those who are disappointed or offended, I understand and I apologize.'Ace Greene is a 22-year-old dancer born and raised in Los Angeles, California. At 5 '10,' Ace is the short king of the season, though it certainly has not affected any of his prospects. He is a self-proclaimed player, pursuing multiple women in the villa. He was first coupled up with Yulissa, and was left single when she disappeared in episode 2. He then coupled up with Amaya, though their relationship quickly turned sour and many arguments arose between the pair. Ace and Chelley coincidentally met before coming on the show, at a club in New York City, and have had constant chemistry since episode 1. The slowburn paid off, and in episode 14 Ace and Chelley officially coupled up. His Instagram is @realacegreene.24-year-old Taylor Williams is a real life cowboy from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Aside from competing in rodeos, he is studying to become a veterinarian. His Southern accent immediately interested Olandria, and the two were coupled up from episode 1 until episode 12, when she was recoupled with Jalen. Taylor got her back in episode 14, when Olandria chose to get back together with him and vote Jalen out of the villa. His Instagram is @taylor_williams.3.A definite fan favorite is Nicolas, a 24-year-old registered nurse and model from Jacksonville, Florida. He was coupled up with Belle-A in episode 1, but instantly felt sparks upon meeting bombshell Cierra in episode 2. He chose to dump Belle-A for Cierra, they have been coupled up since episode 2. Despite a few sparks with Iris, he and Cierra chose wholeheartedly to remain together at the recoupling in episode 14. His Instagram is @nicolasvans.26-year-old Austin Shepard is the epitome of a flirty Fort Lauderdale pool boy, vying for Chelley's heart along with Ace. Chelley and Austin were coupled up from day 1, but Austin felt he lacked her full attention and feared losing her to Ace. In a turn of events, he and Amaya chose to couple up together in episode 14. In the same episode, Chelley chose to be with Ace, making the split seemingly mutual. His Instagram is @austin_shepard3.Jeremiah is a 25-year-old caterer from Los Angeles, California. His original intention was to be exclusive with Huda, but his affectionate and protective attitude towards her weakened over time. He was surprised to learn that she was a mother in episode 4, which added a new layer to the dynamic of their relationship. The arrival of Iris put the nail in the coffin of their relationship, and Jeremiah's lack of outrage towards his recoupling in episode 12 sent Huda into an outburst. Huda and Jeremiah continued to bicker since the recoupling, leading to his decision to remain with Iris at the recoupling. He chose to 'break the toxic cycle' and voted for her to leave the villa, but was in the minority. His Instagram is @ is a 25-year-old content creator from Arizona who stirred up drama by immediately stealing Nic from Belle-A upon her entrance in episode 2. After the initial upset, she has become a fan favorite. She is considered the girl's girl of the villa, supporting Huda after her breakup and becoming good friends with Chelley. Despite some flirting with Pepe, her relationship with Nic holds strong. Her Instagram is @ tall, dark, and mysterious Charlie is a 27-year-old aspiring actor and singer from the U.K., who currently lives in Australia. He initially chose to get to know Chelley when he arrived in episode 2, but his most memorable connection was certainly with Hannah, the blonde bombshell he met in episode 4. Hannah was recoupled with newcomer Pepe in episode 12, leaving Charlie single, along with Huda and Taylor. Of the three single contestants, Charlie was voted out of the villa in episode 12. His Instagram is @ is a 25-year-old Dominican registered nurse from New York City, arriving in the villa in episode 4. She has divided fan sentiment, with some deeming her a loveable comic relief and others finding her too outspoken and emotional. Her love-hate relationship with Ace resulted in multiple blowout fights in the villa. He was certainly not feeling protective over their relationship in episode 9, and even cheered during the Leather and Lace challenge when she kissed the new bombshells. Episode 14 brought a surprising twist, with Austin and Amaya picking to switch things up and couple up together. Her Instagram is @ is a 23-year-old medical student and bartender from Tucson, Arizona who arrived in the villa in episode 4. Hannah has been described as the classic, cute, and blonde girl-next-door, and formed a strong connection with Charlie. After a good conversation and a better makeout sesh with bombshell Pepe, her relationship with Charlie crumbled. America voted to couple her up with Pepe in episode 12, ending her relationship and sending Charlie home. Hannah and Pepe chose to stay together at the recoupling on episode 14. Her Instagram is @ arrival of 25-year-old Los Angeles spray tan artist Iris in episode 9 definitely stirred up the game. Her skillful confidence, flattery, and smooth conversation won over even the most committed men, and caused fits of unrest amongst the girls. She approached Ace, Nic, and Jeremiah, managing to slip right into the cracks of their relationships. Fans voted to pair her up with Jeremiah in episode 12, bringing Huda and Jeremiah's relationship to an explosive end. Jeremiah respected Iris' calm under fire, and chose to remain coupled up with her instead of Huda. Despite the drama, Iris voted to keep Huda in the villa. Her Instagram is @iriskendall.27-year-old Jalen Brown's small town Georgia charm created some competition for Taylor in episode 9, as there are now two country boys vying for Olandria's heart. Fans thought it was only fitting that Olandria should get to know the new southern gentleman, and voted to pair them together in episode 12, breaking her and Taylor up. This was a short-lived relationship, as in episode 14 Olandria chose to couple back up with Taylor. In the vote that night, Jalen was also dumped from the villa in a vote of 8-4. His Instagram is @ is a 27-year-old gym owner, personal trainer, and former professional basketball coach who arrived in episode 9. He was born in Madrid, Spain, but lives in Los Angeles. He pursued both Cierra and Hannah, with him and Hannah connecting over both having gone to California State University, Fullerton. Hannah kissed him, much to Charlie's dismay. At the recoupling in episode 12, fans voted to pair up Pepe and Hannah, breaking up her relationship with Charlie. On episode 14, Pepe and Hannah chose each other in the recoupling, reinforcing their relationship status. His Instagram is @ Palma is a 23-year-old bombshell introduced at the end of episode 15. He played baseball for the University of Tampa in Florida, and graduated in 2024. We don't know much about TJ yet, but we saw a sneak peak of him sharing a kiss with Iris. His instagram is @tjpalmaa.

Love Island watch parties take over NYC nightlife

This summer, the real villa isn't in Fiji — it's in a Brooklyn brownstone, a Midtown sports bar and a West Village comedy club. Love Island USA, which premiered its new season June 11 on Peacock, has officially taken over New York City nightlife. Fans across the boroughs are ditching the couch for themed cocktails, sliders and full-blown screaming matches at watch parties from Manhattan to Brooklyn. The hit reality show features a rotating cast of sexy singles in a luxury villa, where they must 'couple up' or risk getting dumped — not just by each other, but by the American public. Advertisement 7 This season of Love Island USA is fueling a new kind of nightlife — with viewers in Brooklyn, Midtown and beyond planning their weeks around villa chaos, recouplings and every new episode. Ben Symons/PEACOCK Viewers vote in real time to split couples, send in new 'bombshells' and ultimately crown the winning pair, turning the show into a chaotic dating Olympics with six episodes a week and near-constant drama. Now in its seventh season, the series has become a cultural obsession among Gen Z, thanks to its meme-worthy moments, messy recouplings and signature catchphrases like 'I've got a text!' Advertisement In Greenwich Village, The Comedy Shop is running Love Island episodes almost every night of the week, with Sunday turning into an all-day binge. The bar starts replaying the season at 11 a.m. and ends with the latest episode at 9 p.m. on the venue's five flatscreens. 7 Fans scream, cheer and take shots along with every dramatic moment during Love Island screenings at The Comedy Shop — turning the West Village comedy bar into a villa-style watch party six nights a week. Leonardo Munoz 'It's the girls' version of sports,' Comedy Shop TikTok manager and bartender Ana Reyes said. 'Everyone comes together and can all catch up on the episodes.' The event went viral after The Comedy Shop posted a TikTok that drew more than 200,000 views. Reyes, 25, was inspired by a viral post of someone wishing Love Island would play at NYC bars. So she made it happen. Advertisement The show has been a hit for its business, especially midweek, with more than a hundred fans turning out for Tuesday's episode alone. 7 The Thursday crowd at The Comedy Shop breaks into claps and spontaneous drumrolls during big reveals — including the show's classic 'I've got a text!' alerts. Leonardo Munoz Guests have started making reservations days in advance. One woman even booked a table for her husband's birthday — because all he wanted was to spend it watching Love Island at their bar, Reyes said. Another group of friends plans to fly in from Florida, she added. When The Post visited the Comedy Shop Thursday night, cheers erupted after every 'I've got a text' — a signature line from the show used to announce major twists or challenges — with spontaneous drum rolls, screams and heated debates echoing across the room. Advertisement Friends, solo viewers, siblings and couples packed the tables, many saying they had found the event through TikTok or Instagram. 7 The Comedy Shop's cheeky themed menu includes 'The Bombshell' margarita tower, a beer-and-shot combo called 'The Recoupling' and even a couples platter titled 'Can I Pull You For a Chat?' — all nods to the show's iconic lingo. The Comedy Shop/ Instagram 'We saw this place on TikTok and it was close to where I lived, so we had to come. The stars aligned,' Bansri Shah, 27, who came with her younger sister Amrita, told The Post. The bar's cheeky themed menu includes a $30 margarita tower — dubbed 'The Bombshell' — along with a $12 beer-and-shot deal called 'The Recoupling' and a couples platter titled 'Can I Pull You For a Chat?' — all named after Love Island lingo. At Black Sheep bar in Midtown East, bartender Casey Rosen kicked off her own version of a watch party last week after realizing she'd be stuck working during the premiere. 7 Sunday marathons at The Comedy Shop run all day starting at 11 a.m., ending with the latest Love Island episode on five flatscreens and a crowd that knows every contestant's name. Leonardo Munoz 'I posted on Reddit five hours before the show and 12 girls still came,' Rosen, 27, told The Post. 'Some even came alone. We ended up chatting, people made friends … It was honestly a great time.' The Friday screenings at Black Sheep now feature Love Island on multiple TVs with sound, $8 wine specials and a fruity new 'Bombshell Martini.' Advertisement But the rowdiest watch parties might be in Brooklyn, where 23-year-old nanny and content creator Kaleah Denise began cramming nearly a hundred guests into a rented two-story brownstone last week for sliders, chicken wings, cheesecake shooters and a pole-dancing contest. 7 A Midtown bartender launched her Love Island watch party after realizing she'd be stuck at work during the show. Now she's hosting weekly screenings with themed drinks and strangers bonding over the show's never-ending drama. Ben Symons/Peacock 'A lot of my friends don't even watch the show, so I realized some people want to talk about it but don't have anyone to talk to,' Denise said. 'So I decided to find my people and be with my people.' She held her first Love Island party June 13 and has since made it a weekly event, with the next one planned for Sunday. The parties typically run from around 8 to 11:30 p.m. and sell out within hours on the events web site Posh VIP, she said. Advertisement The crowd, mostly solo women and their friends in their 20s and 30s, show up dressed in 'villa chic' for the $20 event, while Kaleah supplies more than 20 bottles of wine and champagne which Denise said is just enough to 'socialize, not get sloppy.' 7 Fans across New York are throwing their own villa-style watch parties, bringing viewers together and a taste of Fiji to the five boroughs. Leonardo Munoz 'We're basically bringing Fiji to New York City,' Denise said.

12 of the Best Movies Peacock Has to Offer

Simply put, Peacock has the movies you want to watch. When we talk about the epic titles available to watch on streaming, the conversation tends toward powerhouse streamers like Netflix and Prime Video. As you can conclude from this article, the NBC Universal-owned platform absolutely should be included. It's jam-packed with epic films that would easily elevate any movie night. This should come as no surprise; Universal Pictures is responsible for the very first blockbuster -- Happy 50th Birthday, Jaws! -- and has shelled out box office-busting, Oscar-caliber films for more than a century. Yes, the content roster here is pretty epic. With exclusive streaming rights to popular titles like Wicked, Peacock is a formidable streamer to reckon with. I'll be honest with you, here: Putting this list together was challenging. There's a large selection of high-quality flicks worth watching on Peacock and I found it hard to narrow down this guide to something manageable. But I did it and the 12 titles listed below are the cream of the crop. Whether you're looking for the cinematic spectacle of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, the comedic excellence of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, or action hits like Jurassic Park and The Matrix, you'll find a flick worth hitting the Play button on by the time you reach the bottom of the page. Scroll on to see for yourself. Read more: Peacock Review: Few Originals, but Cheap Access to Network TV, Movies May Grab You Universal Pictures Jurassic Park What is there to be said about Jurassic Park that hasn't already been said? Steven Spielberg brought Michael Crichton's hit book to life and pretty much changed how dinosaurs were depicted on screen. This movie was a big deal when it premiered and showcased an array of jaw-dropping special effects. Three decades later, the franchise continues to expand. But as awesome as it is to see dinos dominate the big screen, these movies never achieve the glory of the original. Lionsgate John Wick As you'll see, this list includes two movies starring Keanu Reeves. I didn't plan this but Peacock has the John Wick and Matrix franchises, which are extremely watchable. I'd argue that all of the John Wick movies are worth streaming but the first installment has that special energy of an original story spreading its wings. And to think, all this could've been avoided if they hadn't messed with John Wick's dog. Screenshot by Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET Erin Brockovich Julia Roberts won the Oscar for her lead role in Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich, and for good reason: She's an absolute powerhouse in this. The movie is based on Brockovich's life and her evolution from divorced mother of three to formidable investigative paralegal who, under the mentorship of Albert Finney's Ed, took on Pacific Gas & Electric and exposed them for contaminating the water supply of a local community. Lionsgate Dirty Dancing Patrick Swayze showcased all the right moves in 1987's Dirty Dancing. He may not have used his dance skills in many of his films but his work as Johnny Castle in this sleeper hit helped put him on the map. The movie follows a 17-year-old girl named Frances (or "Baby" for those in the know), who takes a summer trip to a Catskills resort with her family and falls in love with the bad boy dance instructor. My advice: Ignore the questionable age gap between the two and, instead, lean into the cheesy romance of it Birdcage Mike Nichols directed this comedy classic, inspired by the 1978 French movie La Cage aux Folles. Led by Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, the movie follows the story of an out and proud gay couple who must hide their relationship when the conservative parents of their son's fiancée come to visit. Gene Hackman and Dianne Weist are fantastic, and Hank Azaria's Agador Spartacus steals the show. Gramercy Pictures The Big Lebowski Look, what can be said about The Big Lebowski that hasn't already been said? This is the Coen brothers at their most iconic. Jeff Bridges's take on the role solidified the actor as a pop culture legend, and his laid-back vibe helps to deliver the craziness that transpires throughout the entire film. John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Sam Elliott and even Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers all deliver memorable performances. If you've never seen this one, you're in for quite a ride. And if you have, isn't it about time for a rewatch? Screenshot by Aaron Pruner/CNET The Matrix The Wachowskis kicked the sci-fi genre in the teeth when The Matrix premiered in theaters in 1999. The movie, which spawned a series of sequels, an animated spin-off and a string of comic books, tells the tale of Neo (Keanu Reeves) a man who grapples with the concept that our reality isn't real at all and, in the process of dealing with that brain-breaker, he's also part of a resistance movement in a dystopian nightmare where he's acknowledged as the potential savior of humanity. Hey, no big deal, right? Not only did this movie propel Reeves into a blockbuster superstar but it also introduced groundbreaking special effects that helped push the genre and filmmaking itself into the 21st century. Universal Pictures Jaws Jaws turns 50 years old this year, which is a crazy thing to type. Steven Spielberg's action movie about a vengeful shark changed the way movies are made. This right here was the first-ever summer blockbuster -- for a reason. The movie is full of Alfred Hitchcock-style suspense but what makes it so watchable is the dynamic between the lead actors Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. Come for Quint's (Shaw) epic drunk monologue, stay for the unnerving 4 (yes 4) minutes that the great white is actually on screen. Universal Pictures Wicked The big-budget, big-screen musical adaptation of the hit Broadway play, which stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, took the box office by storm. Wicked -- which is the first half of a two-movie journey -- follows the duo, who become unlikely friends during their time as students at Shiz University, and gives a look at the Land of Oz before Dorothy's house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East. Universal Pictures Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning film explores the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (played to perfection by Cillian Murphy), the physicist who played a pivotal role in developing the atomic bomb. The story unfolds throughout various points of Oppenheimer's life, offering a well-rounded and thought-provoking look at the man who pushed the world to the brink. The production value, direction and performances by its ensemble cast resulted in an epic cinematic experience. It's no wonder the movie brought home the Academy Award for Best Picture.
