Overview
- Ariana Madix returned to the Fiji villa to launch a live interactive vote asking Peacock viewers to rank Islanders on qualities like genuineness and boyfriend material.
- The six at risk—Andreina Santos, Gracyn Blackmore, Jaden Duggar, TJ Palma, Taylor Williams and Austin Shepard—were revealed based on receiving the fewest viewer votes.
- Safe Islanders cast the deciding vote to save only Taylor Williams, sealing the elimination of the other five contestants.
- The departure of Andreina Santos, Austin Shepard, Gracyn Blackmore, Jaden Duggar and TJ Palma marked one of the largest single-night eliminations of the season and left Bryan Arenales, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia single.
- The vote shattered Peacock’s participation records in a single round, underlining the growing power of audience engagement in the competition.
