The stakes are rising on Love Island Games. On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the villa witnessed one of its most dramatic episodes yet as Nicola Gauci Borda‑Warr was forced to exit due to a medical issue, and Kendall Washington was eliminated following a nail‑biting duel loss. This double exit leaves just 12 Islanders still vying for the $250,000 grand prize.
Where & When to Watch
New episodes of Love Island Games stream daily on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, with one exception: there is no new episode on Wednesdays. The finale of Season 2 is slated for Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
The show’s schedule follows the quirky mantra “every day but hump day.” Also, the series is being produced in real time this season, allowing America to vote and influence outcomes as events unfold.
Eliminations & Duel Breakdown — Episode on September 30
In the latest episode, Ariana Madix oversaw two duels. The first pitted Garbi Denteh against Nicola Gauci Borda‑Warr. While Garbi technically won, the match ended prematurely when Nicola was accidentally struck in the head and had to be escorted off for medical care. Madix later confirmed that Nicola would not be returning to the villa.
In the second duel, Josh Goldstein narrowly defeated Kendall Washington in a close finish, sealing Kendall’s departure from the game. That means Kendall is officially out.
With those eliminations, the remaining pairs are:
- Johnny & Gabby
- Andrea & Josh
- Sydney & Toby
- Justine & Tyrique
- Lucinda & Isaiah
Meanwhile, Garbi Denteh and Casey are now single in the villa.
Cast & Exit Recap
Here’s a fuller picture of how the elimination track has unfolded this season:
- Episode 8: Kay Kay Gray and Chris Seeley were eliminated after failing the heart‑rate challenge and losing a duel.
- Episode 6: Solène Favreau & Mert Okatan were dumped after receiving the fewest votes from America and making a risky call to let fate decide.
- Episode 3: Charlie Georgiou was the first to exit.
- Episode 30 (most recent): Kendall Washington and Nicola Gauci Borda‑Warr exited via duel (Nicola’s by medical withdrawal). (As covered above)
Across the season, Islanders have had to survive not just by coupling or public votes, but also by performing under pressure in head-to-head matchups.
Recent Cast Dynamics — Kay Kay & Chris Reflect
Shortly after their elimination in Episode 8, Kay Kay Gray and Chris Seeley opened up in an exit interview. Kay Kay remarked, “We’re just doing things at our own pace that is comfortable for us,” explaining that they’re still getting to know one another. She added, “We literally just met two weeks ago.” Chris echoed the sentiment, noting that the distance between Dallas and L.A. might be tough, but they’re taking things day by day.

The Competition Format & What’s Unique This Season
Season 2 maintains the signature mix of romantic pairings and high-stakes competition, but leans heavier on the latter. Islanders face both team and couples challenges, all while navigating recouplings, eliminations, and surprise entrants.
One standout moment came in Episode 4, when Ariana charged the islanders that “the couples that perform the worst will face the public vote.” That week’s “Playing The Field” challenge looked deceptively sporty — couples had to dump “flirt fuel” into football helmets and carry them across a course, then negotiate an obstacle course crawl with the fuel intact. The twist: couples’ fates were tied directly to America’s votes.
Looking Ahead to the Finale & What to Watch
As Season 2 inches toward its final episodes, the pressure is on. With only a handful of couples left, every challenge and alliance counts. The next few duels and public votes will likely decide who gets the shot at that $250,000 prize.
Expect more surprise bombshells, shifting loyalties, and dramatic eliminations. And based on how Tuesday’s episode played out, things are only getting more intense. Tune in nightly (excluding Wednesdays) to see who can survive — and who gets cast off the island.
