The winners of Love Island USA Season 6 have been announced, followed by exciting news about an upcoming reunion episode. The current season welcomes a new set of contestants to a villa in Fiji. Throughout the season, the paired contestants underwent multiple re-couplings and faced tricky challenges. After intense drama, the finale crowned a fan-favorite couple as the winner. In keeping with the usual tradition, they are offered two envelopes, one with money and another without, to pick up. So, viewers are curious to know who won Love Island USA Season 6 and if ever anyone has kept the Love Island money.
Who won Love Island USA Season 6?
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham won Love Island USA Season 6.
The finale episode featured a total of four couples: JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky, and Serena Page and Kordell Beckham. Initially, they all spent quality time on their final dates, after which the eliminated couples were announced. Out of the four couples, Nicole and Kendall and JaNa and Kenny were disqualified. Subsequently, Serena and Kordell were crowned as winners, and Leah and Miguel became the runner-ups. Joyous and emotional, the winners hugged one another, followed by a kiss with fireworks exploding in the background.
Did Serena Page and Kordell Beckham split the $100,000 prize money?
Yes, Page and Beckham split the cash prize of $100,000 between them.
After host Ariana Madix announced the winning couple, the show moved to its final envelope-picking ritual. It’s an ultimate decision-making ritual of whether the couple will choose to split the money or betray their partner by keeping it all to themselves. The couple is presented with two envelopes, one with hefty cash of $100,000 and another an empty one. This time, Kordell gave Serena a chance to pick one envelope first. Upon opening it, she realized that she had chosen an envelope with no cash. This led to Kordell winning a hefty cash prize, which he decided to split with Serena.
Has anyone ever kept the Love Island prize money for themselves and run?
In its six-season run, no contestant has betrayed their partner by keeping all money to themselves. The winners have decided mutually to split the prize money always.
In the show’s history, the winning couple always gets two options, either to split or keep all the money for themselves. Despite this option, the contestants have been generous and have always divided the winning cash with their partners, irrespective of their future together. However, in 2022, the show’s rules were tweaked a bit with the winner ultimately receiving split money without getting an option to run away with it. These rules were applicable when Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti won in 2022.
