Dubai: Tensions are rising in the Love Island USA villa, and last night episode (Sunday, June 15) brought in loads of drama and heartbreak and fans are now for the results of the public vote that followed Friday’s bombshell arrivals.

According to reports, so far only one Islander has been sent packing—and with 14 contestants currently in the villa, things are starting to feel a bit overcrowded. Could episode 12 be the real clincher where we send two Islanders home?

This much-anticipated episode will reveal the results of America’s vote. With couples shifting, emotions running high, and confrontations escalating, someone could be on their way out.

And with Meg, Dejon, and Malisha in a rapidly unfolding love triangle, viewers are watching closely to see if this uneasy truce will hold... or unravel.

Previously on Love Island USA

In Episode 10, three new bombshells entered the villa and were sent on dates with the OG male Islanders—all under the watchful gaze of the original girls.

Meg wasn’t thrilled to see her partner Dejon out with newcomer Malisha, and when the Islanders returned, things got awkward. Though they cleared the air during the day, things went sideways again by nightfall.

As Dejon and Malisha shared a flirty chat, Meg stood up, stormed off, and eventually overheard Tommy’s conversation through the villa door. Later, she walked onto the terrace mid-conversation and asked sharply:

“Hello, am I missing something special?”

Malisha quickly exited, and Meg sat down with Dejon, who admitted his head was “scrambled.” He was taken aback when Meg accused him of having “disrespected, violated, and embarrassed” her, to which he responded that she was seeing a different side of him.

Still, the pair seemed to reconcile—ending the night cuddled on the sunbeds.

But the peace didn’t last.

Malisha later pulled Meg for a chat. Meg didn’t hold back, telling Malisha it was “disrespectful” to say she wanted to take Dejon to the hideaway before even speaking to her. Cue: even more tension.

What’s the show about again?

Love Island USA drops a group of singles into a villa in Fiji, where they pair up, compete in challenges, and navigate messy love triangles. Hosted by Ariana Madix, the show has become a social media sensation thanks to its explosive drama and constant stream of new contestants.

Islanders must couple up to remain in the game, while America votes for their favorite pairings—decisions that often shake the villa to its core.
