There are 35 episodes in season 8, according to IMDb. Sunday, July 12 at 9 p.m. ET will premiere the finale and reveal the final ranking of couples based on fan votes.
Four couples go into the finale episode. Each couple has a final date to reflect on their time together on the island. It’s also the last chance for them to take a new step in their relationship unless they say something in their final speech.
The couples write kind words to each other in front of the rest of the cast in their finale formal wear. Host Ariana Madix joins the cast to reveal the ranking, starting with fourth.
Madix, 41, gives an envelope to the man and woman of the first place couple. Only one envelope has the money. The person who has the $100,000 decides to keep the money for themselves or split it with their partner.

Who Are the Strongest 4 ‘Love Island USA’ Couples?

The islanders are aware that no one is going to explore outside their couple after movie night. Melanie Moreno and Sincere Rhea had the biggest set back that night because his lies were revealed. He told Sol Dean that he was ready to choose her. Sincere also told Amora Robinson if they had more time in Casa Amor, then he would’ve chosen her.
Melanie is one of the most popular cast members as an original islander. She’ll probably make it to finale with Sincere, but not win because of his actions.
KC Chandler matched with Tierra “Titi” Davis in Casa Amor. They shockingly didn’t fall into the bottom karaoke test episode. But it’s unlikely they’ll surpass Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse again since they have been coupled up since the first week.
Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis is also an original islander, but will likely fall to the bottom of the vote. She was at risk in the karaoke contest episode with Dylan Wrona, but they saved themselves by winning the contest.
Dylan told Kenzie that he doesn’t trust her after watching her movie night clips and she kissed Gal Tshnieder. They are one of the newest couples and most of their time is spent arguing.
That leaves Aniya Harvey and Carl Lee Schmidt, and Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff as the strongest couples. Public opinion could change when it’s time for the finale. But the other couples have work to do to get in the top two spots.
