Spoilers for all of Love Island USA season 7 ahead. This year's installment of Love Island USA was quite different from the usual Love Island experience. Rather than following the cadence that long-time viewers of the reality TV series's fandom were used to, LIUSA season 7's cast was all about exploring, to the detriment of viewers looking for the "love" in Love Island. No couple was safe, either from their fellow Islanders's game-changing votes or from America's. And no couple exemplifies season 7's unique outlook on dating and connection more than Florida-born day trader Michelle "Chelley" Bissainthe and L.A.-based dance influencer Ace Greene.
In another world, Chelley and Ace could've been the strongest couple out of the gate—with a fairytale story of a pair who met in the real world, didn't pursue it due to geographical distance, and were able to spend six whole weeks deepening their connection. Instead, they spent so much time exploring other Islanders and getting caught up in drama that by the time they finally locked in, it was too late to make it to the July 13 finale. Still, once the dust settles, Chellace could be one of this cohort's most solid couples, long past the season 7 reunion.
