Notes

• ^Note 1 : On Day 1, the girls competed in a challenge and based on their times in the challenge, the girls determined the order in which they chose to couple up.
• ^Note 2 : On Day 1, Johnny and Megan each anonymously kissed two islanders. On Day 2, the four islanders whose partners were chosen became vulnerable, and Johnny and Megan chose to duel Ray and Jessica for their partners, Imani and Steph.
• ^Note 3 : On Day 4, the three bottom couples from the challenge became vulnerable. The power couple, Imani and Johnny, decided to save Jack and Justine, leaving the other bottom couples at risk.
• ^Note 4 : On Day 6, the power couple, Imani and Ray, chose to make Curtis and Lisa vulnerable at the dumping.

• ^Note 6 : On Day 9, the power couple, Imani and Ray, chose Jessica & Johnny to be saved from the duel and replaced them with Georgia & Toby, making them vulnerable.
• ^Note 7 : On Day 9, Megan had to leave the game for undisclosed medical reasons.
• ^Note 8 : On Day 11, the three bottom couples from the challenge became vulnerable. The safe boys then had to decide which vulnerable man to dump, choosing Carrington, and the safe girls had to decide which vulnerable woman to dump, choosing Kyra.

Jack and Justine received the golden heart, saving Mitch and Zeta, leaving Imani and Ray & Courtney and Scott to be dumped from the villa.
• ^Note 12 : On Day 16, Mitch and Zeta held the red tire at the end of the "Tired Out" challenge, and therefore were the losers and instantly dumped from the villa.

As Megan left for medical reasons, only 17 dumped Islanders voted. Eyal and Cely received the fewest votes and was therefore was dumped from the villa.
