Why Amaya Papaya Deserves the Right Match to Win 'Love Island USA'
Okay, we have to talk about Amaya Papaya on this season of Love Island USA . Real name Amaya Espinal, but let’s be honest—“Papaya” just fits. Season 7 has been chaotic, dramatic, and honestly kind of disappointing in terms of rooting for couples. But Amaya? She's the heart of the Villa right now. The emotional backbone. The standout. And if anyone deserves to win, it’s her.
But here's the catch—she needs the right partner to get her to the finale.

Right now, she’s still technically coupled with Zak, but after that ridiculous mailbox challenge where Zak, Austin, and Ace called her out for being “too emotional” and “too affectionate,” I can’t imagine her sticking with him much longer. The way they dismissed her vulnerability was just…gross. And Amaya’s clapback? Iconic. She told them, “You know, sometimes I’m not the book that someone should be reading, and that’s okay.” Mic drop . Sensitive gangster energy. I’m here for it.
So, who should she couple up with next?
Let’s talk options. Pepe might not have made a move yet, but the tension between him and Gracyn is practically a countdown to singlehood. He and Amaya would make a powerhouse couple—both fan favorites, both emotionally intelligent. They’d have the Villa (and America) behind them in seconds.
Then there’s Chris. He has shown interest in Amaya before, and with how things are going with Huda, it may be time for him to switch it up. Chris is chill, emotionally present, and he vibes with Amaya’s energy. Plus, watching them flirt? It would be flirty and respectful. We love that.
Elan’s another contender—he comforted her during that awful challenge, and he’s single. He might not be her usual type, but he’s solid, low-drama, and genuinely into her. Sometimes stability is exactly what gets you through these final rounds.
Bryan, though? He’s on the fence. Things with Andreina are fading, and he’s shown moments of support for Amaya. If he redirected his energy away from Gracyn and toward Amaya, that could actually be something.
Of course, there's always the possibility that a new bombshell walks in and instantly connects with her—or, please no, she gives Zak another chance. (We can’t handle another emotional takedown like that again.)
Whatever path she takes, I just know this: Amaya Papaya needs to make the finale. She’s brought real heart to this season. So let's find her the king she deserves, because she’s already the queen of Love Island USA Season 7.
