It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Timmy Pandolfi and Zeta Morrison, but they stayed strong, which may lead them to win Love Island USA season 4. Timmy and Zeta coupled up during the season premiere and immediately made a strong connection that not everyone was able to make with their day-one partners. For example, Courtney Boerner has been weighing her options this season by recoupling three times. Timmy and Zeta, on the other hand, have remained mainly loyal to each other. Unfortunately, there was a rift for the couple when new sibling bombshells Bria and Chazz Bryant arrived, and Chazz coupled his sister up with Timmy.

Fans of Timmy and Zeta, which included their fellow islanders, were worried this could be the end of the day-one couple. As Timmy got to know Bria, two more bombshells arrived, and Zeta saw Jeff Christian’s arrival as an opportunity to give Timmy a taste of his own medicine. It was clear Zeta was in no place to make a new connection, and instead, she had a talk with Timmy where he admitted he didn’t feel the same connection with Bria as he felt with her. Bria was dumped from the island shortly after, and Timmy and Zeta recoupled at the next ceremony.

The two have been through a lot at the villa, and there are some sure signs they might win the season. Deb Chubb and Jesse Bray, and Sydney Paight and Isaiah Campbell are the only other couples who got together on day one and have stuck it out as long as Timmy and Zeta. Unfortunately, the two pairs have had more struggles than Timmy and Zeta have, with both women finding it hard to trust their partners. However, Timmy and Zeta quickly forgave each other for the Bria and Jeff drama and only seem to have gotten stronger because of it.
Another clear sign the Love Island USA contestants might make it to the end is neither of them was swayed by a bombshell during the Casa Amor episodes. Deb made the poor choice to recouple with Kyle, immediately regretting her decision when Jesse came back single, and Isaiah broke Sydney’s heart when he brought Phoebe Siegel back to the villa. He has since realized he made a huge mistake. Fortunately, Zeta barely spoke to the male bombshells, and Timmy spent his Casa Amor experience hanging out with his fellow male islanders and piling up pillows in the bed to separate himself from female bombshell Bella Barbaro.
From the moment Timmy returned from Casa Amor without a bombshell to see Zeta standing alone waiting for him, it became clear the couple was in it for the long run. While there are some other strong couples, especially as Jeff and Nadjha Day grow closer, Timmy and Zeta’s day-one connection is hard to compete with. After becoming exclusive on their first date, it’s hard to imagine any other bombshells coming in and tearing them apart again. Since Love Island USA fans have given the couple their stamp of approval online, it seems the two are a shoo-in for the first-place prize.
Love Island USA streams Tuesdays through Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on Peacock.
