Charlie Eliminated in Emotional Love Island USA Twist
Islander Reactions & Decisions That Led to Charlie’s Exit
Inside Love Island USA Episode 12: How Charlie Was Sent Home
The drama on Love Island USA Season 7 reached a boiling point in episode 12, which aired June 15, 2025. While fans were expecting a regular recoupling, host Ariana Madix flipped the script with a shocking twist.
Bombshell Pairings Stir Emotions
Ariana first revealed who the public voted to pair with the new bombshells. Jeremiah and Iris were coupled, leaving Huda visibly upset. Jalen was paired with Olandria, putting Taylor’s position in the villa at risk. Meanwhile, Hannah and Charlie were separated when fans chose to pair Hannah with Pepe.
“We Don’t Want to Do That,” Says Amaya
The real twist came when Ariana announced that those who weren’t recoupled—Amaya, Chelley, Ace, Nic, Cierra, and Austin—had to decide who would be eliminated between Taylor, Huda, and Charlie.
Amaya, emotional and hesitant, said on behalf of the group:
“We don’t want to do that.”
But ultimately, the group made their choice: Charlie was sent home.
Fans Call the Episode a Rollercoaster
The reaction online was instant. Fans were torn between sympathy and excitement over the plot twist. One fan wrote:
