Olandria’s Love Island USA Season 7 Journey

Olandria entered Love Island USA Season 7 on Day 1 and quickly connected with Taylor Williams. They became one of the most loyal and liked couples in the villa.

But things changed during the Casa Amor twist, where she was paired with Zak Srakaew for a short time. Zak later chose to be with someone else, which led to Olandria being eliminated from the show.

However, the story didn’t end there. Olandria and Nic were given a surprise second chance. After their elimination, they went on a date and had to decide whether to come back to the villa as a couple or go their separate ways.

They chose each other — and returned to the villa together, leaving everyone in the villa, and fans watching at home, completely surprised.
