Love Island USA Shock: How Listening to Ace Got Austin and Zak Dumped — and Why They Blamed Amaya

Love Island USA Shock: How Listening to Ace Got Austin and Zak Dumped — and Why They Blamed Amaya

Love Island USA Season 7 is giving drama with a side of delusion, and this week’s elimination proved one thing: if you don’t play smart, you’ll be watching the show from home. Austin and Zak learned that the hard way — all because they put their trust in Ace.

Let’s break it down.

Austin and Zak weren’t the most popular guys in the villa, but they were surviving… until they aligned with Ace. Known for his confidence and smooth delivery, Ace had them thinking he was the mastermind. But his advice? A total flop. Whether it was stirring the pot during recoupling, making last-minute loyalty switches, or just reading the vibe completely wrong, Ace’s guidance led all three of them right to the exit.

The Amaya Backlash

The real kicker? When Austin and Zak realized they were getting voted off, they aimed their frustration at Amaya. Yes — the girl who had nothing to do with their downfall. They accused her of “switching up” and not being loyal, but honestly? Amaya’s been in her main character era all season. She’s been cool, composed, and one of the few actually playing the game with brains and heart.

Instead of owning their mistakes, the boys lashed out. But fans saw right through it.

Beyoncé Had the Blueprint

If they’d listened to Beyoncé instead of Ace, they might’ve made it. As the Queen once said: “You must not know ‘bout me...” And clearly, they didn’t know about Amaya. She’s not the type to be bullied or blindsided — and while the boys were busy blaming her, she was busy rising above.

Ace’s mistake? Trying to be the leader without a solid plan.
Zak and Austin’s mistake? Following the wrong leader.
Amaya’s win? Staying true to herself and letting the mess self-destruct.

Final Thoughts

In the Love Island villa, trust is a currency — and who you align with can make or break you. This week was a masterclass in what not to do. Don’t let someone else play your game. Don’t come for the queen when you were the one who misplayed your hand.

Moral of the story: If you’re gonna follow somebody, make sure they’re actually going somewhere.
