‘Love Island USA’ Expert Predicts This Couple Is Most Likely to Win

Love Island USA is racing to the finish line. 

The season 7 finale of the hit reality series will stream Sunday, July 13 on Peacock. That’s when fans will find out which couple will go home with the show’s $100,000 prize. Who’s most likely to leave the villa six figures richer? An expert points to one pair as having the best odds of winning all on Love Island USA Season 7. 

Could Bryan and Amaya win ‘Love Island USA’ Season 7?

Relationship expert and couples coach Annabelle Knight spoke to Casino.ca about the latest season of Love Island USA. One couple stood out to her as having the potential to take home the show’s big prize: Bryan and Amaya.

“While they may not have the strongest bond yet, they’ve been able to stand out as ones to watch,” Knight said. “Especially when you consider the way Bryan defended her during the postcard challenge, and the way Amaya validated him with her kindness and warm personality. That, plus, they definitely have a certain charm.”

But Bryan and Amaya’s win is anything but guaranteed. 

“Their consistency and emotional foundations are still in question; we simply haven’t seen enough of them as a couple to truly gauge if their feelings are genuine or not… so they may not quite be ready for the win just yet,” she added. 

Still, Knight — who is the official ‘flirt expert’ for Love Island UK‘s podcast Aftersun — thinks there’s a chance that Bryan and Amaya’s romance could even survive in the real world. 

“Despite the rapid pace of their coupling, they’ve managed to develop a sense of emotional closeness that feels more than just surface-level … there’s something genuine brewing between them,” she said. 

This ‘Love Island USA’ couple might be faking it for the cameras 

One pair that Knight doesn’t think is on solid ground? Clarke and Taylor. She isn’t convinced they’re as into each other as they claim to be.  

“I’m suspicious of Clarke and Taylor’s connection,” she said. On the surface, they seem very into one another, but I’m yet to see any real connection form. Even after Taylor surprised her with an impromptu date… Some of his comments left the impression that he’d like to change Clarke to be more of a country girl in order to fit into his lifestyle better, but trying to make someone be someone they’re not has never been a good idea when it comes to relationships.”

“This, paired with the fact that their conversations only seem to go so deep, and Clarke’s body language sometimes reads as unsure rather than certain, leads me to believe things aren’t as good as they look,” she continued. “This could be because Clarke’s a slow burner when it comes to being emotionally vulnerable, or she may not be ready to change into his ‘country girl’ just yet.”

New episodes of Love Island USA Season 7 stream daily (with the exception of Wednesdays) at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on Peacock. The season finale airs Sunday, July 13.
