Ariana Madix responded to the allegations of a rigged voting process after the elimination

Gabriel Vasconcelos and Sol Dean’s elimination led to a lot of criticism on social media. This was because the elimination happened after the viewers selected their favourite couples, and the bottom three were at risk of leaving the show. The final decision was eventually left to the girls and boys to decide who needed to be eliminated.

While the elimination in Episode 15 is leading to a debate, there was another moment in Episode 14 that resulted in certain allegations towards Love Island USA. The episode, which aired on June 18, 2026, led to a lot of criticism from the audience when Sol Dean and Caleb McDaniel did not emerge as the top couple of the show. The show was accused of using a rigged voting process by a majority of the audience.

Ariana eventually responded to the allegations, including that she liked a comment, which claimed that the production is legally not allowed to change the results in any manner. Ariana clarified while replying to a user that Caleb and Sol were not in the top 4. Notably, the user wrote:

“They @loveislandusa messing up the show.”

Gabriel Vasconcelos and Jen Terry’s romantic encounter created headlines before the former’s elimination

Before being eliminated from the show, Gabriel Vasconcelos and Jen Terry had a brief romantic moment with each other in the 14th episode of Love Island USA Season 8. The rest of the contestants were present when this happened. The participants also made fun of the duo, addressing the fact that they used a sheet on top of them despite the fact that everyone was well aware of what was going on between them.

Gabriel and Jen were previously spotted getting intimate on the camera, and they were very open about their chemistry in front of the other participants. There was another moment in the ongoing season when the contestants had to read the sex facts without knowing the identity of the person. One of them claimed that a contestant slept with an individual who was in their ‘50s. Gabriel said at that time:

“I was out and I was having a good time with my friends. She started talking to me and she was hot as fuck for her age. We had a good night together. She had a lot of experience.”
