The latest episode of Love Island USA shocked viewers, who rushed to social media to react after Jeremiah Brown and Hannah Fields were voted off the island. Season 7 has faced criticism from fans, mainly due to the Islanders’ lack of chemistry and how much focus was put on Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah’s relationship in the early episodes. Despite receiving a lot of backlash, Huda is still in the villa, which hasn’t sat well with many fans.
A lot of viewers believe Huda should have gone home instead of Jeremiah and Hannah, and now some are accusing the producers of rigging the votes. According to The U.S. Sun, fans expressed their outrage online after Hannah and Jeremiah got the lowest number of votes from America.
In episode 18 of Love Island USA season 7, the three boys at risk of elimination were Jeremiah, Austin Shepard, and Pepe Garcia, while the three girls were Hannah, Amaya Espinola, and Iris Kendall.
Production rigged this vote because no way that many people voted for Huda and Huda safe but Jeremiah not? Taylor too? Yeah that s*** was rigged.
After Jeremiah and Hannah were eliminated, fans called foul, saying things like
Love Island USA season 7 has attempted to build on the success of season 6, where Islanders like Leah Kateb, Serena Page, and JaNa Craig became fan favorites and formed genuine connections. Leah and her partner Miguel Harichi, Serena and season winner Kordell Beckham, and Jana with Kenny Rodriguez all left the villa as stars. Most importantly, they looked for love, which is the main goal of Love Island.

But in season 7, romance isn’t the focus. Instead, fans think the Islanders are playing it safe, leading to rumors that producers are interfering too much with the storyline. Huda, for example, is one of the most talked-about Islanders this season, yet she wasn’t in the bottom three least popular girls. Maybe she’s not as disliked as social media suggests, or maybe producers kept her because she grabs attention.
Love Island is a powerhouse of a reality show, thanks to wild twists like Hannah and Jeremiah’s unexpected exit. While that shocked fans, it really shouldn’t have—Love Island is known for rule-breaking. Eliminations can come from America’s votes or from the Islanders themselves. The show constantly changes the rules, which keeps it exciting.
Whether or not the voting was rigged to keep Huda around may never be proven, but everyone is talking about her. Love her or hate her, Huda is a strong reality TV character because she’s emotional and imperfect. Without her rocky relationship with Jeremiah, this season wouldn’t be as entertaining. Maybe that’s why producers wanted her to stay, or maybe America really did vote her as a favorite. Either way, we’ll keep watching—because that’s exactly what Love Island is all about.
