The season 8 finale of Love Island USA<\/em> featured a serious change when it got here to the prize money.<\/p>\n

Love Island USA<\/em> viewers know that sometimes America votes for the ultimate 4 couples, who then make it to the finale that took place on Sunday, July 12. Just like past seasons, each pair got the possibility to go on their very own date.<\/p>\n

They then decided in the event that they desired to remain together but this time around they didn\u2019t write the usual \u201cvows\u201d for one another before checking out who gets crowned the winning couple.<\/p>\n

One other major shakeup was the envelope ceremony, where the duo who received the best variety of votes from the general public got two envelopes: one for every partner. One envelope was meant to contain $100,000, while the opposite was empty. The partner with the $100,000 envelope would select whether to share the cash with their partner as a test of trust and commitment \u2014 or walk away with all of it as a way of selecting the prize over love.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAfter a summer stuffed with relationship drama, Love Island USA finally crowned the season 8 winner \u2014 but which couple scored essentially the most votes? Throughout the Sunday, July 12, season finale of the hit Peacock dating show, host Ariana Madix announced that Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai Dettloff got essentially the most votes from the general public [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trinity Tatum <\/strong>and Bryce Alakai Dettloff<\/strong> were awarded the win but host Ariana Madix<\/strong> didn\u2019t ask them their individual plans for his or her prize money. As a substitute, she said on multiple occasions that they each were sharing the $100,000.<\/p>\n

The Love Island<\/em> franchise began within the U.K. in 2002 before expanding worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA<\/em> on Peacock. Each season, a distinct group of single Islanders are challenged to pair off to be able to stay within the show\u2019s luxury villa for a likelihood on the $100,000 prize.<\/p>\n

Season 8 has had its fair proportion of drama \u2014 each while filming in Fiji and off screen. Earlier this season, Vasana Montgomery<\/strong> was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur.<\/p>\n
