Why Austin Was Right to Choose Amaya on Love Island USA
Austin’s Right Call Choosing Amaya on Love Island USA
Austin Followed His Heart by Choosing Amaya
Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 14 threw a curveball when Ariana Madix introduced a door-based recoupling twist. Instead of the usual fire pit, the boys had to walk up to the door of the girl they felt most connected to. If the door opened, they stayed. If not, they were at risk of leaving the island.

For Austin, this choice was especially intense. He was caught between Chelley — someone he had history with — and Amaya, a newer but fast-growing connection.
Austin & Amaya’s Bond Feels Genuine
Austin and Amaya’s connection has developed gradually, but meaningfully. Recent conversations between them have felt easy, honest, and natural. One standout moment was when Austin told Amaya, “You make it easy to be myself.” That comfort level is rare in the villa.

Chelley, while a strong presence early on, had been unsure between Austin and another contestant, Ace. That uncertainty may have influenced Austin’s decision. With Amaya, there was no confusion — just clarity.

This Choice Sets a Positive Tone
When Amaya’s door opened and both of them smiled, it wasn’t just about relief — it felt like a fresh beginning. Austin’s choice signals he wants something real. It’s the kind of moment that reminds viewers what Love Island is really about: finding a true connection.
