Casa Amor was full of surprises this summer.
Now, the ultimate “Love Island USA” twist that opens the islanders up to a whole new batch of singles away from their current partner is coming to a close.
Whose couple will withstand Casa Amor? And who is going to bring back someone new, sending a clear message to their former partner? Episode 21 will feature the Casa Amor recoupling as everyone reconvenes back in the main villa for the big reveal. And another fan vote appears to be on the horizon.
The recoupling comes after an emotional episode when the boys and girls received letters that showed some islanders getting up close and personal with new Casa contestants. That led to many questioning where they stood in their couple.
One Casa Amor girl who is no longer part of the show is Alannah Keyser. Her Love Island experience ended during the previous episode when she was removed from the game after her alleged use of a racial slur on social media was discovered.
Here’s what to know about the “Love Island USA” schedule, including start time, where to watch, the Casa Amor cast, what’s next and more:

Love Island USA season 8 couples

Jen Terry and Caleb McDaniel are single prior to Casa Amor.
Love Island USA episode 21 recoupling predictions
Who will stay true to their couple and who will bring back someone from Casa Amor?
Based on how Casa Amor has gone so far, Kenzie and Corbin will definitely be bringing back a new interest. Both Kenzie and Corbin have indicated throughout Casa Amor how they’re done with each other.
Kenzie will invite Dylan back and Corbin will be arm in arm with Parmida, a Casa girl he’s grown extremely close to after just a few days.
Aniya and KC also appear poised for a breakup as they’ve been developing strong connections with new Casa contestants. Aniya has something refreshing going with Carl and it appears KC has forgotten all about Aniya as he has moved on with Tierra, plus at times Sydney. KC is taking full advantage of Casa and not looking back.
Trinity and Bryce could be the only former couple staying loyal to each other. They’re both really falling for each other as the time away as made their hearts fonder for one another.
Kayda, who saw Zach kiss Alannah in the last episode, may bring back Chay. Zach will return solo.
The rocky relationship that is Melanie and Sincere will likely see each bring back someone – Corey for Melanie and Amora for Sincere – though I fully expect both to find their way back to each other before all is said and done.
And single islanders Jen will bring back Gal and Caleb will continue exploring his connection with Jaiden following Casa Amor.

Was Alannah Keyser removed from the villa?
Yes, Alannah Keyser is no longer part of “Love Island USA” after she was removed during episode 20 that aired on Thursday, June 25.
After returning from a commercial about 20 minutes into the episode, narrator Iain Stirling made the announcement to the audience:
“Welcome back to Love Island USA, Alanna has left Casa Amor,” he said, as a drone shot of the beach was on the screen.
No other context was given to the audience.
Keyser, a 21-year-old college student from Miami, made her “Love Island USA” debut as a Casa Amor bombshell on June 21. But not long after a video and screenshots of her allegedly using a racist slur circulated on social media, USA TODAY reports.
The Southern California film student began forming a connection with Zach, who is in a couple with Kayda, but her presence on the show was noticeably dialed back in subsequent episodes and at the 20-minute mark of episode 20 she was gone.
It’s the second time this season that “Love Island USA” has removed a contestant for using racial slurs on social media. Vasana Montgomery was announced as a part of the cast as an original islander but was removed before the premiere.
“I am embarrassed and disappointed by my words,” she wrote on social media after returning home. “I take full responsibility for what I said and understand why it has hurt and upset people.”
Two women last year were also booted from the show after their use of past racial slurs resurfaced on social media during filming.
How long is Casa Amor in Love Island USA
Casa Amor lasted just under a week. The first Casa Amor episode aired on Sunday, June 21, when the boys left the villa to the Casa villa where six women would soon greet them during the Hearts on Fire challenge.
The girls had to watch it all on a TV. But they soon got their Casa experience the next day when host Ariana Madix brought in a whopping 12 men for the girls to explore. After getting to know the 12 boys for a few hours, they had to trim it to six.
Casa episodes ran on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and wrap up on Friday.
Love Island USA season 8 cast ages
All the boys and girls in the “Love Island USA” cast are in their 20s.
The youngest cast members are Caleb McDaniel, who came in as a bombshell on Day 7, and Casa Amor girls Amora Robinson and Alannah Keyser, all of whom are 21 years old.
McDaniel is currently single and forming a connection with 22-year-old Jaiden Bacciocco in Casa Amor. Robinson has been bonding with 25-year-old Sincere Rhea in Casa Amor, and Keyser had a spark with 26-year-old Zach Georgiou but she was removed from the villa after three days in Casa Amor after resurfaced racial posts were discovered.
The oldest cast members are 29 years old: Bryce Dettloff, Gal Tshnieder and Sean Reifel.
Dettloff is in a couple with 22-year-old Trinity Tatum; Tshnieder, a Casa boy, is connecting with 23-year-old Jen Terry and 24-year-old Kenzie Annis this week; and Reifel was the first contestant dumped from the villa on Day 6.

“Love Island USA” is part of the larger Love Island franchise that got its start in the United Kingdom in 2005.
