Get ready, Islanders! The most anticipated, and often most dramatic, twist in the Love Island universe has officially arrived. Casa Amor is back on Love Island USA Season 7, promising to test the loyalty and strength of every connection in the villa.
If you’re wondering what exactly Casa Amor is, when the drama unfolds tonight, or how you can tune in and have your say, here’s your complete guide.
What is Casa Amor on ‘Love Island USA’?
Casa Amor, which translates from Spanish to “Love House,” is a separate villa introduced mid-season on Love Island. It serves as the ultimate test for the existing couples.
Here’s how the twist typically works:
Separation: Either the male or female Islanders are secretly moved out of the main villa and into Casa Amor.
New Arrivals: Simultaneously, a fresh batch of attractive single contestants, known as “bombshells,” are introduced. A group of new bombshells joins the Islanders in Casa Amor, while another group enters the now partially empty main villa to tempt the remaining Islanders.
Temptation: For roughly four intense days (or 3-4 episodes), the original Islanders are separated from their partners and given the chance to mingle, flirt, and potentially form new connections with the Casa Amor bombshells.
The Decision: At the end of the Casa Amor period, a dramatic Recoupling Ceremony takes place. Each original Islander must decide whether they want to “stick” with their original partner (assuming that partner has also stayed loyal) or “twist” and “recouple” with one of the new bombshells they met.
Consequences: If an Islander chooses to recouple with a new bombshell, but their original partner chose to stick with them, the original partner is typically left single and is immediately dumped from the villa. If both choose to stick, they reunite as a couple. If both choose to recouple with new people, they return with their new partners. If an Islander chooses to stick, but their original partner returns with a new bombshell, the loyal Islander is left single and dumped. This high-stakes decision often leads to heartbreak, betrayal, and shocking eliminations.
For Love Island USA Season 7, the women Islanders are heading to the iconic Casa Amor villa, leaving the men behind to be tempted by new female bombshells in the main villa.
When Does Casa Amor Start?
Get ready to tune in: Casa Amor Season 7 begins tonight, Monday, June 23rd!
This pivotal moment follows a dramatic Sunday episode where Islanders faced a shocking double elimination. After America voted for their favorite contestants, the remaining safe Islanders were tasked with choosing one boy and one girl to send home. Ultimately, Arizona bombshell Hannah Fields and Jeremiah Brown were voted out by their fellow Islanders. Tears flowed as friendships were tested, setting the stage for the biggest relationship test yet.
How Long Does Casa Amor Last?
While it feels like an eternity for the Islanders (and viewers!), the Casa Amor twist is relatively short, typically lasting for about four days or across 3-4 episodes. But don’t let the short duration fool you – it packs a punch and can completely alter the trajectory of the season.
