'Love Island USA' Season 7 adds bombshell new twist to Casa Amor
In "Love Island: USA" Season 7, new singles also come with new rules. Episode 19 introduced a fresh format to the highly anticipated Casa Amor segment for the popular dating reality television series. "Think of it as starting from scratch. Brand new couples, brand new relationships, and everyone gets a second chance at love," host Ariana Madix said. Here's what we know about the new Casa Amor format: 'Love Island USA' Season 7 cast: See Casa Amor lineup, every contestant so far Casa Amor is a staple in the "Love Island" franchise. The twist is the ultimate test to determine the strength of established couples' connections. The main male and female contestants are split into separate villas and introduced to a new batch of singles. One group remains in the main villa, while the others are sent temporarily to a secondary villa. Usually, at the end of the experiment, the main contestants must decide whether they want to stay in their original couple or bring a new person to the main villa to further explore the newfound connection. However, Madix gave the islanders and viewers at home insight into a new format on Episode 19. "We're doing Casa Amor very differently. You all are officially single islanders again just like going back to day one," Madix said to the main male contestants. "For the first time ever, you'll be in a new couple for the entire time the girls are in Casa Amor." "The same goes for the girls. They will couple up too with the new boys," she continued. Madix added that both the main contestants and newcomers will reenter the main villa at the end of Casa Amor. Main Villa: Casa Amor: Maddix told TJ and Amaya that since they were not selected to couple up with the newcomers, they have 24 hours to make a connection or risk being dumped from the island. Some "Love Island" viewers are excited about the new format, while others are not fans of the changes. "I HATE the twist of everyone returning to the villa. Does that mean that there's no Casa Amor recoupling episode? The best episode of the season usually???," one user wrote. Another person added: "Oh EVERYONE returning to the villa at the end of casa amor this year ???? This bouta be TEA." "casa amor is not supposed to have people at risk of being dumped on the first day," one watcher pointed out. New episodes come out on Peacock each night Thursday to Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, meaning the only day without a new episode is Wednesday.
