Hellooo, Islanders! We’re officially through the first week of Love Island USA Season 7, and if you thought last season’s drama was unmatched (looking at you, PPG: Serena Page, Leah Kateb, JaNa Craig), think again. With a fresh batch of singles and enough plot twists to keep Twitter/X in overdrive, this season is already delivering chaotic romance, unexpected tears, and meme-worthy moments galore.
Last year brought us unforgettable lines like “Soul Ties is crazy,” “NOW you’re sending TWO home?!” and, of course, the iconic meltdown: “F***KKK AARON.” But Season 7 is showing it’s ready to go toe-to-toe with those classics.
In just a few episodes, we’ve had:
-
The first epic make-out challenge
-
A steamy photobooth moment
-
A secret single mom reveal
-
A very emotional dumping
...all under the ever-watchful eye of new host Ariana Madix, who is clearly loving every second of it.
The OG cast—Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Austin Shepard, and Jeremiah Brown—have wasted no time pairing, un-pairing, and re-pairing as bombshells Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou dropped into the villa and immediately turned heads (and alliances).
Naturally, viewers had a lot to say. From Huda’s delayed reveal about being a mom to Nic’s indecisiveness between Belle-A and Cierra, the memes came fast and furious. And don’t worry—we've collected all the best reactions from across social media to sum up this week’s hottest (and messiest) moments.
Here are the best memes and reactions from Week 1 of Love Island USA Season 7—because nothing says summer quite like dramatic love triangles and Twitter dragging everyone in sight.
