Love Island USA fans reacted to the newest bombshells at the villa, with several viewers confused by certain cast members in particular. During Love Island USA season 7, Belle-A Walker, Charlie Georgiou and Jalen Brown were the first three contestants to be dumped, with Yulissa Escobar being removed from the game amid a scandal. Last week, Jose “Pepe” Garcia, Iris Kendall and Jalen Brown were introduced as bombshells to shake up the game, which caused a bit of backlash from fans over the quality of some of the cast, with some wanting control over which bombshells enter the villa.
Fans gave their honest reactions to the Love Island USA season 7 bombshells.
After Love Island USA revealed the two newest bombshells, TJ Palma and Andreina Santos, on Instagram, fans took to the comments section to give their honest reactions. A common theme is that viewers don’t get what’s going on with the male cast members. @labellebri questioned the casting process itself, asking, “Who’s casting the men?” @Serenapagesource admitted they’re “confused” by the men on Love Island USA this season. @lizzy.nyemah wondered if producers were “saving the guys for Casa Amor.“
Some people said they were tired of the men on Love Island USA. Others, like @Maddiebittle, claimed the show’s “never going to get another male bombshell like Miguel,” with a crying emoji. Fans didn’t really have many issues with the female cast members, with @Sierrasprague echoing the other statements about needing better men but adding, “This girl bout to shake up the whole villa omgggg.”
What Fan Backlash To Male Cast Members Means For Love Island USA
Love Island USA Fans Demand Changes
Over the past couple weeks, there seems to be a common pattern when it comes to how fans are reacting to the Love Island USA season 7 cast. For the most part, they’re praising the women, though Huda Mustafa has faced her fair share of criticism, while demanding that producers do a better job of casting the men who join the show. As mentioned, some of them even think they deserve more control over who becomes a bombshell.
Love Island USA is one of the most talked-about reality shows right now on social media. Since new episodes are released six days a week, there is always plenty of content to keep fans entertained, which also means more opportunities for criticism and backlash. Love Island USA season 7 is less than halfway through the entire dating experiment, with 15 cast members still taking part. A lot can change between now and the finale, so there’s always a chance future bombshells will show a marked improvement.
Our Take On Fan Confusion Over Love Island USA Cast
Producers Should Listen To Love Island USA Fans
While future male bombshells could drastically improve the experience, it doesn’t sound like fans have much hope that will happen. They might end up going through the entire season feeling that way. If that happens, then hopefully, the producers will take viewer feedback into consideration when casting for Love Island USA season 8. No one will ever be fully satisfied with all the cast members on these types of reality dating shows, but if the viewing experience takes a dive for the worse, then the season could be ruined.
Love Island USA season 7 streams daily (except Wednesdays) at 9 p.m. EDT on Peacock.
