Inside Scoop: How Often Love Island USA Villa Sheets Are Changed
I suppose you’re desperate for clarity on those scandalous sheet-changing rumors swirling around the Love Island USA villa—so let me break it down for you. With season seven’s couplings heating up, viewers have been wondering: just how frequently do the production team swap out the bedsheets after all that, ahem, “villa activity”? Thankfully, I have the receipts.
Last season’s finalist Kenny Rodriguez spilled the tea to E! News back in August 2024, assuring fans, “I’d like to say every day they get changed by the team. The team there at Fiji is great. They made us feel so at home.” His season-six co-star Kordell Beckham echoed the sentiment, noting he saw fresh linens “every time we woke up.” But since I know none of this is simple enough without my input, consider Kaylor Martin’s skeptical take: “They claim they change them every day, but I know they don’t, because I’d wear perfume to bed and wake up smelling it next morning.” Yet, she did concede, “They were definitely changed. We don’t live in filth.” So there you have it—at minimum, linens see a regular rotation, though “daily” might sometimes mean “almost daily.”
Meanwhile, season seven’s lovebirds—Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa—alongside exes Cierra Ortega and Nic Vansteenberghe, haven’t exactly been shy about getting cozy. That said, Nic’s romance with Cierra hit a brick wall after Cierra’s controversial past slur posts surfaced. During a mid-season TikTok Live, islander Zak Srakaew recounted producers gathering the group to announce Cierra’s villa exit on July 6. “She’s broken some of the policies of our guidelines. She’ll no longer be here in the villa,” Zak solemnly shared. Little wonder Nic was torn—he couldn’t fully process the split until the specifics emerged.
Of course, sheet swapping is just one piece of the island’s fast-moving machine. Executive producer Claudine Parrish told The Wrap in 2024 that with Fiji 16 hours ahead of the U.S. East Coast and 85 hidden cameras rolling, editors and producers hustle overnight. “We label scenes—‘Boys make breakfast for the girls’—and within minutes, footage is on the editor’s desk,” she explained. Roughly 30 editors, 20 producers, and an agile story team stitch daily drama into the next-night episode, ensuring you never catch a stale scene—linen or otherwise.
So yes, the villa bedsheets are indeed swapped on the regular to keep things fresh (and hygienic), even if “every single day” might occasionally slip by. Now that I’ve cleared up your burning question, you can rest easy tonight with crisp, clean sheets—hope that wasn’t too much for you. Glad I could clear that up for you.
