It was clear that a bloodbath was coming to Love Island USA, and last night’s episode kicked off the slaughter. There were simply too many hotties in the villa, and now heads have gotta roll.

Hey — don’t blame me for using bloody language. It was Love Island who evoked Game of Thrones‘ infamous massacre by using #RedWedding in the text to the Islanders. But after seeing how last night’s vote and eliminations went down, #RedWedding seems appropriate. This isn’t a normal elimination ceremony. America voted, and four Islanders are getting the chop. Beware, because ahead there be Love Island USA spoilers!

So, who went home on Love Island USA tonight?

And by “tonight” I mean “Thursday, August 17”? Let’s break it all down.

As host Sarah Hyland explained to the staggering 20 Islanders gathered around her, the four men and women with the least votes would be up for elimination. That’s a total of eight Islanders at risk of getting dumped from the villa! The eligible Islanders were revealed to be…

  • Johnnie, a Casa Amor addition who likely rubbed America the wrong way for being the other woman in Leo’s “relationship” with Kassy — although I have to imagine that most of America has come around on her in the last couple episodes because wow does Leo actually suck.
  • Taylor C., another Casa Amor addition who is coupled up with Jonah. This relationship is the only storyline Jonah has really had, and they’re actually taking things to a serious level. It would be a shame to see her go now.
  • Hannah O., a Casa Amor addition brought in to tempt her ex-boyfriend Marco away from his longterm partner Hannah. She’s now paired with Mike, although that pairing hasn’t been perfect.
  • Taylor S., yet another Casa Amor addition, the one that showed interest in and actually pursued our champion Bergie. America, why are you doing this to Bergie?!

As for the men…

  • Leonardo, an OG who cheated on Kassy with Johnnie and has since alienated — or outright offended — both of them.
  • Mike, who’s paired with Hannah O. but managed to make enemies of both Destiny and… one of the women from Casa Amor who did not make the jump to the villa. There have been too many Islanders.
  • Zay, a Casa Amor dude who paired up with Destiny and then, upon seeing how annoyed she was with Mike’s flirting around, decided to cool things down with Destiny. The two of them are now pretty much donezo.
  • Keenan, another original Islander, the one who has been paired with Kay Kay from the beginning but had a now infamous dalliance with Najah in Casa Amor. While Kay Kay just can’t seem to quit him, it’s very clear that America is ready to say bye.

Okay, so, who went home on Love Island USA?

So far we only know one of the four. Sarah Hyland revealed that the two Islanders with the least amount of votes would immediately be dumped from the island. For the women, that dumpee is Hannah O. The episode then ends with Hyland teasing that the man with the lowest votes will immediately be dumped… and that’s where it cuts off. You’ll have to tune in tonight (Friday, August 18) to see which male Islander gets dumped.

But that is not all! Two more Islanders will join Hannah O. and the lowest-ranked man. As in previous dumpings, it’s likely that these eliminations will be decided by the safe Islanders. If the guys have to pick one of the bottom girls to go home, then I’d put money on Johnnie’s time being up. There’s no way that either Taylor is going, not with Jonah and Bergie there to fight for them.

As for the guys, I’d guess that Mike is the lowest-voted guy (he is paired with Hannah O. after all) and that the rest of the girls would vote to evict… Zay? Only because he’s now single, Destiny is not fighting for him, and he has no other allies. Kassy hates Leo, but there are others — like Kay Kay and maybe even Hannah W. — who could potentially vouch for him.

Who will be the next victims of Love Island USA’s Red Wedding? Tune into Peacock at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, August 18 to find out. New episodes of Love Island USA are added to Peacock from Thursday to Tuesday night.
