Notes

• ^Note 1: Kyra arrived after the coupling on Day 1, but was told she would be able to steal a boy for herself on Day 2. She chose Cashel, therefore leaving Caro single.
• ^Note 2: America voted for which Islanders were the most compatible couples, with the two couples with the fewest amount at risk of being dumped. The safe couples then had to vote for one person from each couple to save. As Christen and Cormac received the fewest votes, they were dumped.
• ^Note 3: America voted for their favourite new boy and girl to save from dumping. Eric and Kelsey received the most votes and were therefore safe. The remaining islanders then had to choose one boy and one girl to save. The boys chose Aissata and the girls chose Ray, therefore dumping Marli and George from the island.
• ^Note 4: On Day 17, after the public voted for their favourite couple, it was announced that Cashel and Katrina, Aissata and Yamen and Eric and Kyra were the three couples with the fewest votes. It was then up to the safe islanders to pick a couple to dump. They chose Cashel and Katrina.
