Love Island USA Season 7 has brought back the explosive Casa Amor twist, but with fresh rules that are turning heads. This season, 11 new contestants entered the show to test the loyalty of the original islanders. The twist has already sparked drama, new couples, and unexpected connections.
For the first time, all islanders started Casa Amor single. Host Ariana Madix announced the twist, saying everyone must form new pairs with the bombshells. Unlike past seasons, all new contestants will stay in the villa, even if they don’t couple up. This change has raised the stakes for the original cast.
The girls were sent to Casa Amor, where they met six new male bombshells. Meanwhile, the boys stayed in the main villa and met five new female bombshells. The new arrivals wasted no time making their moves, leading to steamy kisses, bold confessions, and tough decisions.

How Casa Amor Works This Season
Casa Amor is a classic Love Island twist where islanders are split to test their relationships. This year, the rules were changed to make it more unpredictable.
All original couples were declared single at the start. The girls moved to Casa Amor, while the boys stayed in the main villa with new girls. After a blindfolded kissing game, the islanders had to pick new partners.
Two original islanders, TJ Palma and Amaya Espinal, were left single. They have 24 hours to find a connection or risk being dumped. The bombshells will stay in the villa no matter what, adding more drama for future episodes.
“They are going to start it very differently, getting the girls out, something they’ve never done before,” host Ariana Madix teased before the twist began.
