Fire up your group chat for the last time, because this summer’s Love Island USA is coming to an end.

The 35th and final episode of Season 8 will air on Peacock tonight, July 12, at its normal time of 9 p.m. ET.

Four couples remain in the villa, and as is tradition on finale night, each couple will embark on a romantic date night where they discuss what a potential connection outside of the villa would look like. After all four dates, the couples reconvene in the villa where Emmy-nominated host Ariana Madix will crown this season’s winners.

The fan-voted winning couple splits $100,000.

The four final couples are Aniya and Carl; Kayda and Zach; Trinity and Bryce; Melanie and Sincere.

Trinity and Bryce initially connected on Day 1, and following Casa Amor, made their relationship official. Melanie and Sincere also coupled up on the first day in the villa and remained together the entire time.

Kayda and Zach coupled up on Day 2, and in the past week, decided to date exclusively.

Aniya initially chose to stay with her original partner, KC, after Casa Amor, but reconnected with Carl when he returned to the villa after her relationship with KC fell apart.
