Thu Jul 03 23:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Love Island USA Villa Erupts in Drama Following Brutal Postcard Challenge

**By Dina Kaur, Arizona Republic**

Paradise isn’t always perfect, and the Love Island USA villa is proving just that. Tuesday’s episode, Episode 26 of Season 7, saw tensions skyrocket as Islanders participated in a postcard challenge. The game, which involved contestants writing anonymous or signed comments and questions to each other, unleashed a wave of hurt feelings, arguments, and tears.

The episode also featured a fan vote for favorite male and female Islanders, the results of which are eagerly anticipated. While viewers will have to wait until Thursday for the next dose of villa drama, the much-anticipated Movie Night looms on the horizon. While no date has been officially announced, fans are speculating it will arrive in the coming days, following a historical pattern.

For those missing their daily dose of Love Island, Episode 27 airs this Thursday, July 3rd, at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on Peacock. Viewers can catch up on all the villa action and cast their votes for their favorite Islanders and couples via the official Love Island app. These votes directly impact recoupling decisions and ultimately decide who stays and who leaves the island heartbroken.

Peacock offers several subscription options to access the show, including a premium monthly plan for $7.99, a premium annual plan for $24.99 for one year, and a premium plus ad-free plan for $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year.

Stay tuned for more updates from the Love Island USA villa!
