3 articles · Updated · Hollywood Reporter · Jun 10

Summary

  • Episode 7’s first Season 8 fan vote ran into app glitches Tuesday night, with viewers hitting “network error” messages after voting opened at 10:30 p.m. ET.
  • Love Island USA said after the 10 p.m. PT close that it was “actively working” to fix registration and voting issues, after fans urged the show to extend the window.
  • Some viewers said the vote eventually worked after redownloading the app or repeatedly refreshing, but Peacock had not provided further details.
  • The vote lets U.S. viewers decide which Islanders new bombshells Sol, Jen and Caleb should couple up with, part of a season-long format that can shape dates, pairings and eliminations.
