We asked AI to predict which couple will win Love Island USA and the answer makes total sense
They deserve that $100k, tbf
People are literally taking to Reddit, Twitter, and any other social media platform they can to say who they think is going to win Love Island USA season seven this year. As the final approaches, some of the Peacock show’s couples are looking really strong, and others are still confusing viewers as to whether they’re actually legit. It’s tough to say who’s most likely to bag that $100k prize at the end of all the villa messiness, so Reality Shrine cut out the hard work and asked AI to predict the winning couple – and this is what it said.
According to AI, with the Love Island USA finale in sight, it’s now a true showdown between the lasting couples. It said that the finalists like Iris and Pepe, Taylor and Clarke, and Ace and Chelley have had moderate fan buzz, but none match the consistent emotional connection of the top two. So, let’s get into it…
#4 Nic and Olandria
Surprisingly, AI ranked Nic and Olandria as “The Rising Fave,” and placed them in a potential fourth place!?
Their unexpected return after Casa Amor, where they were dumped only to be sent on a private date and come back as a duo, generated serious buzz. Fans on Twitter have been wild for Nicolandria, calling the move “fan service” and “too cute.”
People have questioned whether their chemistry was genuine or strategic but many viewers and fans argue it feels real, especially given how they’d shared kisses earlier and Nic opened up on the date.
On Reddit, comments show fans rooting for the dynamic duo to cause a shift, some hope the producers lean into the tweets supporting them during the villa’s upcoming “tweet challenge.”
Where does that put them? Well, they may still be behind Amaya and Bryan and Huda and Chris in steam and sentimental arcs.
But with the split in vote share, strong production alignment, and spreading fan support, Nic and Olandria could easily make it into the top 3 or 4 couples.
If the voting finale leans toward buzz and momentum rather than emotional storytelling alone, Nicolandria might surprise us.
AI’s final take? Don’t sleep on Nic and Olandria. They’ve tapped into a viral moment, a strong dose of production push, and social media hype. Could they edge past a quieter Iris and Pepe or even Huda and Chris? That depends on how the final votes shake out. But right now, they’re riding a wave of love and drama.
#3 Iris and Pepe
Iris has flown under the radar for most of the season, but her calm, grounded energy and sweet moments with Pepe have earned them quiet respect from viewers.
Pepe, the charming and emotionally mature Islander, has brought a laid-back yet solid presence to the villa. His respectful approach to Iris has been noticed, especially after some of the chaos with other couples.
While they haven’t had the most dramatic arc or biggest fan base, they’re seen as stable, sweet, and genuinely into each other, which tends to land well with finale-night voters.
Their late-game glow-up and emotional confessionals have also given them a boost going into the final stretch.
Why third place? They’re well-liked, non-controversial, and feel like a ‘safe’ couple. Not flashy enough to win, but too solid to ignore.
#2 Huda and Chris
Huda Mustafa has had one of the most dramatic arcs, from being perceived as a villain to showing vulnerability, particularly around Chris Seeley.
However, she’s recently faced backlash over a resurfaced TikTok where she appeared to mouth a racial slur, triggering debate among fans about fairness, context, and redemption.
Still, many viewers are empathetic, highlighting her emotional growth and believing in second chances
Why they could win: Emotional storytelling + redemption arc + strong chemistry.
#1 Amaya and Bryan
Amaya Espinal, AKA ‘Amaya Papaya’, has emerged as the fan favourite this season. She has been praised for her authenticity, vulnerability, and that viral mirror-song (I never said I was perfect) that even Lizzo loved.
She’s faced criticism for being “too emotional” with some islanders calling her “passionate.” She was accused of “moving too fast,” but viewers and commentators are rebranding her tears as a power move, not a weakness.
Bryan Arenales has consistently stood by her, defending what he assumed were her cultural expressions and earning praise from fans for doing so.
Plus, the duo’s chemistry was spotlighted during a recent Hideaway date, which made waves online.
Why they might win: Authentic connection + chemistry + huge fan support.
AI’s overall season seven prediction
- Amaya and Bryan – Most fan-loved, emotionally authentic, strong social media support. A duo packed with heartfelt authenticity that fans connect with. Bryan’s defence of Amaya solidified them as a united front. Big brand interest (hello, custom soda flavour?) shows lasting appeal.
- Huda and Chris – Redemption arc + real chemistry, but still divisive. Huda’s TikTok controversy might sway votes at the wire. But don’t count Huda and Chris out. Their emotional narrative and chemistry could still bring them home if redemption resonates with voters.
- Iris and Pepe – Quietly consistent, sweet, and drama-free.
- Taylor and Clarke, Nic and Olandria, or Ace and Chelley – Least buzz going into the finale.
