‘Love Island USA’ Voting: How to Vote

There’s one thing that separates Love Island from all the other dating shows out there. No, not the preponderance of overly sensual covers of ’90s hits (you’ve never heard “Sex & Candy” sound so sexy). Love Island stands apart because of it’s timing. The delay between when events are taped and when you see them is minimal. These horny singles are actually in the villa right now. And if you’re anxious about the thought of there being Bria/Zeta/Timmy tension that you’re missing out on, don’t worry. You’ll see what’s going down literally right now in a matter of days.

This nearly-live format means that Love Island thrives in part thanks to audience participation. Yep, the viewers get to have a lot of say in who gets dumped and who keeps on dating. This is an easier feat to coordinate in the UK where the original Love Island airs on TV at the same time across the country. But here in America, Love Island USA streams on Peacock. How does voting work with a streaming series? When can you vote on Love Island, and where can you get the Love Island app? Here’s everything you need to know.
