At the first recoupling ceremony on Day 5, the Islanders had to choose whether to continue with their current connections or form new couples. Jasmine was unable to secure a partner, meaning she became vulnerable and was dumped from the island. She finished the season in 26th place after spending only five days in the villa.

In an interview with TV Insider, Jasmine was asked about what she learned from her experience on Love Island USA Season 5, and she responded:

I learned it’s okay to be vulnerable and open up and show people the different layers. I normally don’t show these layers and emotions I have. I figured out that being vulnerable faster, you figure out faster if your person is your person. It ultimately leads to less heartbreak.
