## Resource

Love Island USA’s season finale is almost here—Sunday, July 12—and the final four couples are set to face their ultimate test: one last date, vows, and then America decides the winners. But the real drama? The $100,000 prize—two envelopes, one with cash, one empty—forces couples to choose between love and loot. The season’s been rocky, too, with contestants Vasana Montgomery and Alannah Keyser removed over past social media controversies, including a viral video of Alannah singing with a slur. It’s not the first time—last season’s Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Ortega faced similar backlash. The show’s tightening its stance on past behavior. New episodes drop daily on Peacock—don’t miss the wild ride to the finale.
