Love Island Australia 2024 may have only just kicked off, but Islanders are getting yeeted out of the luxurious Spanish villa already.
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.
Of course, there are Bombshells that are sent in in an attempt to break up couples, as well as eliminations — which are voted for by the ‘Superfans’.
That means sticking around for the entire season is far from guaranteed — even for the strongest couples.
Unlike the international iterations, Love Island Australia 2024 isn’t filmed live.
So, rather than having a public vote throughout the season, a selection of people, otherwise known as the Superfans, are given advance access to episodes and can cast votes on their favourite Islanders and couples.
Fortunately, for us plebs who didn’t make the cut to be a Superfan, the winner is decided by public vote. The couple who takes the Love Island 2024 crown will receive $50,000 to split (as well as a loving relationship, of course).
Sadly for the below contestants, they’ve already 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?
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 Armour.
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 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 Prophet, 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 Holmes, 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 Mills.
Then, host Sophie Monk announced that a new Bombshell named Mercedes Knox 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 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.
