Following each voting window, beloved host Ariana Madix often has the task of delivering these audience verdicts, giving the Islanders some insight into how fans feel about their Fiji romances.

In a series built on unexpected twists, emotional romance, and dramatic shake-ups, fan votes can be telling, often completely altering the fate of Islanders overnight.
