Love Island Australia 2024 is done and dusted, and along the way all but one of the couples was yeeted out of the luxurious Spanish villa.
As the premise of the show goes, contestants who are in strong relationships on the show generally tend to stick around for the majority of the season.
As always, there were Bombshells that were sent in in an attempt to break up couples, as well as eliminations — which were voted for by the Superfans.
That meant that sticking around for the entire season was far from guaranteed — even for the strongest couples.
Unlike the international iterations, Love Island Australia 2024 isn’t filmed live.
Rather than having a public vote throughout the season, a selection of people, otherwise known as the Superfans, were given advance access to episodes and could cast votes on their favourite Islanders and couples.
Fortunately, for us plebs who didn’t make the cut to be a Superfan, the winner was decided by public vote. It was Em and Mercedes who took home the Love Island 2024 crown and they received $50,000 to split (as well as the possibility of a loving relationship, of course).
Sadly for the below contestants, they lost their chances at gaining the Instagram blue ticks and sponcons that generally come hand-in-hand with the Love Island Australia winning title.
Who has been eliminated from Love Island Australia 2024 so far?
Kaylah and Eric
Kaylah Holmes and Eric Garcia were both Bombshells, but managed to make it to the Love Island Australia finale despite not being part of the cast since the beginning.
However, they narrowly missed out on being crowned the winners, as Mercedes Knox and Em Miguel Leigh took out the win.
Niko and Mia
Niko Fotopoulos and Mia Dalkos were grand finalists, alongside Em and Mercedes and Kaylah and Eric. However, it was Mercedes and Em that the public voted to win, so Niko and Mia were sent home.
Hannah and Taylor
Hannah Steinfeld and Taylor Reid were eliminated right before the Love Island Australia 2024 finale.
The Superfans were tasked with choosing their top three favourite couples, which were Em and Mercedes, Mia and Niko and Kaylah and Eric.
Sophie and Dylan
Sophie Mills and Dylan Towolawi were eliminated during the episode that aired on December 12. The Superfans were tasked with eliminating two couples, and Sophie and Dylan were one of them.
Mimi and Steph
Fan fav Mimi Paranihi and her partner Steph Blackos were eliminated from Love Island Australia during the December 11 episode.
The remaining six couples were tasked with choosing a couple to vote out of the villa. Mimi and Steph received the most votes, with three, meaning that they were sent packing.
Zane and Jade
Zane Prophet was eliminated from the Love Island Australia 2024 villa during the episode that aired on December 9.
Zane and his partner Jade Phalen, and Sophie and Dylan received the least amount of votes from the Superfans, so it was left up to the Islanders to decide who was sent home.
Zane and Jade were voted to leave by Taylor Reid and Hannah Steinfeld, Kaylah and Eric and Mia Dalkos and Niko.
Because there were only five couples voting, that meant Zane and Jade received enough votes to leave, and Mimi and Steph and Em and Mercedes’s votes weren’t shared.
Krissy
Bombshell Krissy Bertone entered the villa with a bang, but she struggled to find a solid connection throughout her time on Love Island Australia 2024.
After Hannah was eliminated, Krissy and Taylor were sent off on an overnight stay together for Hotel Amor, and the couple appeared to get along well, proving that there was potential for romance.
However, at the recoupling ceremony, Hannah returned, and Taylor was asked to pick between her and Krissy.
He chose Hannah, which meant that Krissy was eliminated from Love Island Australia.
Hannah
Hannah entered the Love Island Australia 2024 villa on Day 1 and quickly captured the attention of the men with her dry sense of humour and striking blonde looks.
However, in episode 17, the Victorian nursing student was unexpectedly dumped from the villa just as her connection with Taylor was starting to deepen. New bombshell Mia coupled up with Niko, leaving Hannah single and without a chance to recouple.
“I lived every moment in here honestly and truthfully, and I followed my heart,” she said tearfully in her farewell, as her fellow Islanders expressed their disbelief over the shock elimination.
However, with Hotel Amor premiering in episode 18, speculation is running wild on fan forums that Hannah might not be gone for good. Could a comeback be on the cards?
Tommy
Tommy Armour broke the hearts of his fellow Islanders when he announced that he was self-eliminating during episode 15.
While Tommy didn’t find romantic love in the villa, he captured the hearts of his co-stars, who loved watching the Aussie larrikin clown around.
“I came in here with the right aspirations,” Tommy told the group during the episode. “It’s been unbelievable with all of you guys.”
“I hope we all link up after this. I’m out.”
Sydney
During episode 13, Sydney Paight was dumped during a fire pit meeting on Love Island, Australia.
She was chosen by Zane and Nico as the one girl on the island who is least likely to find love in the villa. Zane and Nico were chosen by the Love Island Superfans as the two boys most likely to find love in the villa.
Sydney was coupled with Tommy.
This is not her first time on Love Island, Sydney was the runner-up on Love Island US 2022. She met her ex-boyfriend Isaiah Campbell on the show, who she dated for a year until he cheated on her.
Xanthe
Xanthe Wessen was dumped from the villa during episode 12. In the episode that aired the previous night, Xanthe’s partner, Zane, had told her that he didn’t want to pursue anything with her and listed her lack of interest in the gym as one of the main reasons.
During a recoupling, Zane was chosen by Kaylah, who is a health and fitness coach and entered the villa as a Bombshell. That left Xanthe single and in the same situation as her fellow Islander Sophie.
Then, host Sophie Monk announced that a new Bombshell named Mercedes was entering the villa, and that both of the single gals would go on dates with him, and he would couple up with the one that he picked.
Unfortunately for Xanthe, Mercedes picked Sophie, and she was sent packing.
Indigo
Indigo Carthrew was dumped during a tense recoupling ceremony, which came down to new bombshell Sophie, who was tasked with choosing between him and Dylan.
Sophie, who was previously paired with Indigo, decided to couple up with Dylan. The decision left Indigo single and he was eliminated.
Eilisha
Eilisha Flesch was the first female Islander eliminated, and, boy, was she unhappy about it.
The 25-year-old support worker from Queensland has coupled up with the first Bombshell Taylor. However, Em Miguel Leigh had vocalised her interest in Taylor behind closed doors, and he ultimately picked her to continue his journey with, and Eilisha was sent home.
“It’s actually embarrassing that I was even in competition with her,” Eilisha said after her elimination, referring to Em.
“I don’t get it, but this whole thing is embarrassing,” she added. Ooft.
Kane
Carpenter Kane Godlevsky, 23, from SA, was unfortunately the first Islander to be sent packing. Prior to the elimination, his future on Love Island looked bright, as he was comfortably coupled up with Xanthe.
However, that all changed when Zane swooped in and shared his interest in Xanthe. During a nail-biting “stick or twist” coupling up ceremony, Kane was left without a partner and he was sent home.
Love Island Australia airs Mondays to Thursdays on Channel 9 and 9Now.
