US Bombshells Seize Control in Love Island: All Stars After Chaotic Beer Pong Challenge
In a dramatic twist on Friday's episode of Love Island: All Stars, the American bombshells took control of the villa, ultimately banishing two islanders following a notoriously messy beer pong challenge. The power shift came after Thursday night's instalment of the ITV2 dating show, which saw six new arrivals from the USA enter to spice up the dynamics.
New Arrivals and Immediate Sparks
The six new contestants—Imani Wheeler, Carrington Rodriguez, Kyra Lizama, Sher Suarez, Zac Woodworth, and Yamen Sanders—arrived with clear intentions to find love, potentially with someone from the UK. They promptly selected eight existing islanders—Millie Court, Helena Ford, Whitney Adebayo, Belle Hassan, Scott van-der-Sluis, Jack Keating, Tommy Bradley, and Ciaran Davies—to join them in the separate sister villa.
The group quickly embarked on a game of beer pong, which led to several passionate kisses. Sher locked lips with Scott, Zac shared a moment with Millie, Ciaran smooched Kyra, and Whitney made a bold move on Yamen.
Friday's Dramatic Unfolding
The drama escalated during the episode airing on 30 January 2026. Kyra was asked to kiss the islander she believed should reconsider their current couple. She chose Tommy, explaining her decision by stating she fancied him and believed he was in a mere friendship pairing.
Meanwhile, Yamen opted to kiss Belle after selecting the islander "you know you shouldn't." This prompted Scott to question Yamen's thoughts on Belle and her connection with Sean Stone. Yamen did not hold back, suggesting Belle could do better and implying Sean lacked a "man vibe." This comment came amidst existing tension between Scott and Sean, who have clashed repeatedly since the footballer's arrival.
Power Shift at the Firepit
The American islanders were then summoned to the firepit and handed significant power. Carrington read a text instructing them to decide which three girls and three boys would remain at Villa USA. The unchosen islanders would be immediately returned to the main villa.
The bombshells separated to deliberate. Kyra emphasised to Imani and Sher the need to keep "who would be most viable for all of us," while Zac pointed out to Carrington and Yamen that Belle's existing connection could be a drawback.
Viewer Division Over Whitney's Comments
Elsewhere in the villa, viewers were left divided after Whitney Adebayo brutally told Konnor Ewudzi she wished he had been sent home instead of Shaq Muhammad. This awkward exchange occurred as they lay in bed, with Whitney expressing disappointment over Shaq's departure despite their recent argument.
Konnor later confided in the other boys, revealing how the "savage" comment had affected him. The moment split audience opinion, with some praising Whitney's honesty and others criticising her as rude and mean.
Looking Ahead
With the US bombshells now holding the cards, the villa dynamics are set for further upheaval. Love Island: All Stars continues to air nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, promising more romance, rivalry, and unexpected twists.
