‘Love Island’ USA Fans Weigh in After Season 3 Winners Announced

Love Island USA has crowned a new winning couple after six weeks of love, heartbreak and Casa Amor on the CBS reality show. Olivia Kaiser and Korey Gandy walked away as the top couple with the $100,000 prize after being voted America’s favorites. The original islanders were two of the 32 total contestants fans got to meet this season, and while they might have coupled up later in the game, managed to win over fans to take home the grand prize.

Coming in second place were Kyra Lizama and Will Moncada, who coupled up from the start and managed to stay strong despite his head being turned in Casa Amor. In third place were Bailey Marshall and Jeremy Hershberg, and in fourth, Alana Paolucci and Charlie Lynch.

Congratulations!

Love Island‘s official Twitter account shared the moment Korey and Olivia walked away with the grand prize to its followers, who had plenty to say about the season on social media themselves.

‘Faked Her Emotions’

Many fans were convinced that Olivia was faking her romantic feelings with Korey to make it further in the game, as she initially was quite clear about being not attracted to him. 

‘My winners’

Others posted about contestants that they wished could have made it to the end, but were eliminated or exited the villa for personal reasons.  

‘Will is Gonna Dump Kyra’

Will and Kyra have gotten plenty of heat during their time on the villa, with fans accusing Will of scamming Kyra so he could make it to the end. While fans will have to see how the couple interacts outside the villa, many people thought they didn’t have a bright future ahead.

Jeremy and Bailey

Twitter users who were hoping Jeremy and Bailey could win the grand prize joked that he couldn’t win the one time they wanted him to, despite winning plenty of challenges during the season he wasn’t favored to win.

‘No Other Options’

Fans frustrated by their finale couple choices also expressed themselves, with some saying they only voted for Korey and Olivia because they were the best option of the four. 

‘Unfiltered’

Love Island host Arielle Vandenberg talked to PopCulture ahead of Season 3 about how the islanders’ “unfiltered” personalities were sure to bring the drama this season, which can explain some of the polarizing Twitter opinions.

“They’re going to bring their personalities, they’re going to bring the drama and what’s so fun is, this is really them,” she said. “They’re not playing characters. They’re so themselves, and it’s so fun to just see an unfiltered version of someone living 24 hours a day — it’s so fun. I know there will just be just as much drama, if not more and the sexiness continues.” Catch up with Love Island on Paramount+, which can be subscribed to with a free trial here.
