Love Island

"Love Island USA" fans were ready to kick Yulissa Escobar to the curb over her racist slur scandal, but plot twist -- she's already outta there before they even had the chance!

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, 18 minutes into Wednesday’s episode of Season 7, narrator Iain Stirling casually dropped the bombshell that Yulissa had left the villa -- and just like that, the show carried on like nothing happened!

Viewers online couldn’t help but laugh at the speedy announcement, joking producers worked overtime to wash their hands of Yulissa, eager to scrub her scandal from the season.

Tick-tock, the clock was ticking down for "Love Island USA" Season 7’s premiere -- except Peacock hit pause, leaving fans staring at their screens for a while ... and let's just say, they were NOT thrilled about it!

The dating series' latest season was supposed to kick off at 6 PM PT Tuesday, but just one minute after the hour, Peacock hit fans with an X post: "WE GOT A TEXT! 👀 Tonight’s episode will be slightly delayed. But it’s worth the wait ❤️‍🔥🏝 Stay tuned!" And boy, did they stay tuned waiting -- for over 40 minutes.

Fans were losing it, waiting for the new season to finally drop. Some were blowing up the comments, asking, "How much longer?!" ... while others roasted Peacock, saying Netflix would never pull this mess. A few even canceled their subscriptions on the spot. The theatrics.

"Love Island USA" is about to unleash a fresh batch of flirty singles -- but if fans have their way, one contestant will be packing her bags before unpacking her drama on the show.

Contestant Yulissa Escobar is already setting off alarm bells -- she’s been outed for casually using the N-word on two separate podcasts, and now furious fans are calling for swift justice … vowing to vote her out the moment they get the chance following Tuesday's premiere.

Two clips have been blowing up ever since the S7 lineup dropped -- and they’re not a good look for Yulissa. In them, she casually drops the racially-charged word 3 times while talking about some messy man drama.

In fact, as this TikTok video shows, Mark holds up a wedding ring and offers to marry Liv, who is offscreen shooting the footage with a camera.
