The drama inside the Love Island USA villa has sparked a strong response from fans across the country. Following a series of emotional moments involving Amaya Espinal, Ace Greene, and newcomer Pepe, viewers are now using their voting power to express who they want to stay—and who they want to see leave.
The situation started when Ace, who had shown early interest in Amaya, suddenly shifted his focus to another contestant, Chelley. This left Amaya feeling blindsided. Shortly after, new bombshell Pepe arrived and quickly built a connection with Amaya. The two shared a romantic moment, including a kiss, which caught the attention of fans.
Many viewers were disappointed by how casually Ace responded to the situation. Instead of showing concern or reflection, he appeared indifferent, even amused. This reaction, along with his earlier behavior, made fans question his intentions. As a result, many fans are now actively supporting the pairing of Amaya and Pepe, calling them a more sincere and likable couple.
Voting through the official Love Island USA app has become a key part of the show, giving the audience real control over what happens next. Each night after the episode airs at 9 p.m. ET, viewers can vote for their favorite Islanders or couples. The window to vote usually stays open for a few hours, and the results can directly impact who stays in the villa and who goes home.
Online communities, especially Reddit and Twitter, are filled with messages encouraging fans to vote to protect Amaya and Pepe, showing just how engaged the fanbase is in shaping the outcome of Season 7.

Growing Criticism Against Ace Greene as Fans Demand Change
While Amaya and Pepe are gaining fan support, Ace Greene is facing increasing criticism over how he's handled his relationships in the villa. After his quick shift in interest from Amaya to Chelley, many viewers felt his actions lacked honesty and emotional maturity. Some have even described his approach as "playing the game" rather than building real connections.
What made matters worse in the eyes of fans was Ace’s response after Amaya and Pepe shared a kiss. Instead of expressing any sort of reaction or reflection, he laughed it off, which came across as dismissive to many viewers. This behavior has led to a surge in negative reactions online, with fans calling for him to be eliminated in the next public vote.
Past seasons of Love Island USA have shown that when public opinion turns against an Islander, their time on the show can be short-lived. Fan voting has been responsible for some surprising exits in previous years, and with tension building in the villa, Ace could soon find himself at risk.

Many fans feel that contestants like Amaya and Pepe are on the show for the right reasons, while others, like Ace, appear more focused on strategy. The public vote allows viewers to reward authenticity and emotional honesty—two qualities they say Ace has recently lacked.
The current voting cycle may play a big role in changing the dynamic inside the villa. As the show moves forward, viewers are watching closely and using every chance they get to influence the direction of the season.
