What is Casa Amor on Love Island USA 7? Full list of 11 new contestants
The seasonal yet steamiest twist of Love Island USA Season 7 is here. Casa Amor is a ritual for the Fiji islanders to get to meet new faces regardless of whether or not they've already found someone. As a part of this, the islanders are divided into two groups and are sent to live in a temporary villa while the other group continues at the main accommodation. New bombshells and temptations are introduced to this thirst trap to test each player's loyalty. Casa Amor is a ritual for the Fiji islanders to get to meet new faces.(X)
The show has introduced a few twists this season to make Casa Amor even more engaging. As announced by host Ariana Matix, all current relationships have been put on hold and as of Episode 19 all contestants are now considered to be single. Over the one-week course of Casa Amor, contestants will get to interact with new faces and be asked at the end of the week if they wish to continue with their original match or let new love blossom instead.
In addition, the new bombshells introduced as part of this twist will continue to stay in the villa rather than leaving regardless of whether or not they were able to find a partner. These new bombshells were introduced to the existing ones via a blindfolded kissing game. They were allowed to pick a match from existing players and as of now, TJ Palma and Amaya Espinal haven't been picked by anyone which gives them a week's time to find new love or get dumped off the island.

Love Island USA: Olandria and Nic's Casa Amor elimination sparks outrage

The unexpected elimination twist during the Casa Amor recoupling has completely shaken the villa and left viewers confused. Love Island USA Season 7: Olandria and Nic eliminated from the Casa Amor(Instagram/ @loveislandusa) Unlike previous seasons, where islanders had a choice to return with a new Casa Amor partner or stay loyal, this time every girl in Casa Amor was forced to pick a brand-new partner, reported The Sun. It was a never-before-seen move by the showrunners. To make things even more intense, one extra boy and girl were added to the mix, meaning two people would be left single and likely dumped. Olandria gets dumped after Zak's surprise move After the girls returned from Casa Amor, Amaya Espinal stood alone, unpicked. But just when it seemed she was leaving, Zak Srakaew, who was coupled with Olandria Carthen, stood up and chose to recouple with Amaya. This shocking move left Olandria dumped on the island. Her exit stunned the villa, especially since she was an original cast member and had built a strong bond with Taylor Williams from the start. Her departure was so emotional that Huda Mustafa broke down in tears. ALSO READ: Where was Love Island USA Season 7 filmed?

This choice left Ace Greene single until Coco Watson stood for him, creating yet another new couple. But the drama did not stop there. Coco's move left Taylor Williams single. Then, in another surprising moment, Clark Carraway stood up for Taylor, which led to Nic Vansteenberghe ending up without a partner. With no one standing up for Nic, he was officially dumped from the villa. A shocking ending – or just the beginning?

One user wrote, 'Bruhhhhhh wtf is this season like actually?!?? Making them single in Casa Amor and actually dumping people from the island is fu**ing insane and makes no sense.' Another one added, 'I genuinely don't like the way they're doing casa this year…like why the instant recoupling??? Why have everyone come back to the main villa? Why only give the ones not chosen 24 hours to make connections with people already coupled up???' 'This new way of doing casa was WILD and I hated everything about it. sending Olandria home without even a chance to go back with Taylor is crazy,' read a comment. FAQs: 1.

Chris Seeley has joined Casa Amor in Love Island season 7. The Basketball star's dramatic entry in the reality show is sure to stir up things for the existing islanders. The athlete will mark his appearance in the show with 11 new islanders, as they will connect with the other contestants. In season 7, episode 19 of the show, the host, Ariana Madix, informed the islanders that it was finally time for Casa Amor. Moreover, she also let the girls know that they will leave the villa and reach their new venue to meet the Casa Amor boys, while the existing boys will stay back in the villa and meet the new girls. The islanders are set to face what is known as the 'ultimate relationship test.' Who is Chris Seeley? Amongst the new islanders being a part of the show in Casa Amor, one who attracted the attention towards him is Chris Seeley. The Basketball player, who is 6 feet 7, has played the sport for Mulhouse in France—in NM 1. The athlete, now a reality TV star, is a graduate of Central High School. Previously, Seeley played Basketball for Splash City, 'where he averaged better than 10 points and six rebounds per game in the summer of 2016.' Moreover, according to Seeley's website, the athlete is a son of Cordell and Trea Seeley and has nine siblings: Kiara, Tanasha, Tory, Maya, Cordell, Tevin, Keana, Courtney and Ciara. Why are fans calling out Love Island ahead of Casa Amor? While the islanders are excited for the Casa Amor episodes, the show is facing backlash from the fans ahead of the switch between the contestants. The audience of Love Island has expressed their disappointment over too much of the producers' involvement. The fans took to their Reddit account and complained about the new Casa Amor rules. The pressure has been built up on the new season following the backlash. Season 6 of the show went on to gain popularity globally and hence the new one too is expected to match the same heights.
