It’s that time in the season of “Love Island USA” when couples are defining their relationships and looking ahead to post-villa life.
Some are making it official in becoming boyfriend-girlfriend like KC and Tierra, who had a beautiful moment together, while Zach and Kayda labeled their relationship as “exclusively dating.” Or maybe it’s a situationship?
Regardless, season 8 of “Love Island USA” will soon end for the islanders as the season finale approaches. Who will be in the finale? America made that decision during the most consequential fan vote of the season last night. Out of the final six couples, fans voted for the four couples they want to see in the finale.
But with no episode on July 8, fans won’t find out the results of the vote tonight. In the meantime, fans can debate on social media about the merits of each couple.
