Love Island USA Season 7 is officially in its final stretch—and it’s delivering the drama, the chaos, and (dare we say?!) the actual love. With just days left (and a $100K prize on the line), the final couples are giving everything from strategic alliances to soft-launch soulmate energy. But as we know: only one couple can win. Tonight’s episode promises a major shake-up—with one couple set to be eliminated right before the final vote. We’ve watched all the chats in Soul Ties, decoded the body language and eye contact, and read between all the “we’ll see where this goes”s. So, who’s got what it takes to win Love Island USA Season 7? Here’s our unfiltered prediction from least to most likely…and all the hot takes included!
5. Huda and Chris—Too Much Drama to Win It All?
Huda Mustafa certainly brought the drama to this year’s villa, but has it helped or hurt her and Chris Seeley’s chances? Their connection is undeniable when things are good—but the bickering has been constant. Will America reward the fireworks, or are fans looking for something a little more stable heading into the finale? We’re not totally convinced this duo has what it takes to go all the way.
4. Iris and Pepe—Lowkey Lovers or Forgettable Finalists?
We’ve been rooting for Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzales, but let’s be honest—they’ve mostly flown under the radar this season. Sweet? Absolutely. Strong? Maybe. Memorable enough to secure the public’s vote? That’s where we’re unsure. They’ve played it safe, and in a season this chaotic, safe might not cut it.
3. Amaya and Bryan—Fan Favorites but Falling Short?
Amaya Papaya is certainly a leading fan fave and trust us—she has our hearts, too (girl, let’s hang out when you get back to the states!). After their romantic night in the Hideaway and their sweet and silly antics, we certainly wouldn’t be upset if they won!
2. Olandria and Nic—Strong Contenders, But Did They Connect Too Late?
If it’s meant to be, it will be…and that’s precisely how we feel about Nicolandria! After a brief interruption, Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe officially recoupled after Cierra’s exit from the villa—and we’ve been loving the vibes between them. From their photobooth PDA to their co-parenting of baby Marcel (honestly, give them a spin-off?), Nicolandria has been giving all the right vibes. We wouldn’t be surprised if they take it all—but there’s one couple with just a bit more momentum heading into the finale.
1. Chelley and Ace—Late Bloomers with a Shot at the $100K
Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene didn’t officially couple up until Episode 14, but it’s been nothing but vibes ever since. Their connection feels fresh, exciting, and—most importantly! —visible. From their sweet s’mores date to their flirty banter (and last night spent in the Hideaway!), Chelley and Ace have had a late-season glow-up that’s hard to ignore. America loves an underdog-turned-front-runner story, and this duo is peaking right when it matters. Our final prediction? Chelley and Ace are taking home the $100K.
After weeks of recouplings, firepit chats, and enough villa drama to fuel a year’s worth of TikToks, our bet is locked in: Chelley and Ace are winning Love Island USA Season 7. They’ve got the chemistry, the growth arc, and—let’s be honest—the kind of energy that screams power couple. But hey, that’s just our take. Who do you think is walking away with the $100K (and maybe even a lasting relationship)? Sound off in the comments or tag us in your finale predictions.
