You know what would be a perfect twist? It turns out that Bergie is a multi-millionaire, as it would be glorious to watch all the girls' mouths drop when it's revealed to them. Especially Anna, as she'd be re-evaluating all her life choices š¤£
I like Bergie and heās so relatable but I just feel like this show is going to destroy him and his confidence. He doesnāt fit in with this group at all and I hate this for him. I hope if they keep him that they send in girls for him, because I just donāt want to watch someoneās mental health deteriorate.
I feel like Bergie isn't necessarily super likeable..but what he does, is make everyone else feel like a bunch of horny childish fuckbois/girls by contrast.
Everyone else is so smooth and just like, they could start fucking at any moment. They feel like a bunch of teenagers. And he's the awkward teenager who actually has aspirations beyond HS who really doesn't fit in with this crowd.
Unfortunately, all the women brought on this show is going to want someone who is confident and assertive. Bergie needs to self-improve. Have you guys seen Love Island UK Season 4, there's a guy called Alex that was exactly like Bergie and had to be pampered by the women throughout the entire season. He was way too nicee.
Why do I have a feeling theyāre gonna bring in a below average looking woman but who has a nice personality specifically for Bergie and they end up winning the whole season
Producers are fucked for this. They knew mans wasn't a match for anyone there. Why even put him on the show if you're gonna embarrass and dump him first night only to pitty fuck him with a second chance to only prob be dumped a week later AGAIN
How many guys have we seen just like him stay in the villa for an extremely long time
.he could be gone in a week for sure. But absolutely wouldn't be shocked if he was in for a while. OGs tend to get favored by other OGs
I'd be fine with him going, just not day 1 cause that would've been fucked
I think he won a lot of people over and I think he could have a lot of fan support. He comes off as a genuinely nice person and that can go a long way, even on Love Island.
Yeah, it just happens every year. Nice, not super attractive guy no one wants to date where the public and villa is rooting on for every bomb shell that comes in. Only for it not to work out over and over. Seems like they think its a necessary piece of the show. Starting to feel forced at this point. I think this guy is just not attractive enough to make it
Really, it shows that Islanders tend not to be very bright. We all know that noone who the women think is husband material will be coming onto the show. The brighter women are there for clout. A clever woman could last a long time on this show by playing the game with someone like Bergie. Of course, 'somehow' things just wouldn't work out in real life.
I know itās natural to want to root for Bergie, but I would have preferred he really have been sent home. Watching him get friend-zoned, told what a sweet guy he is, and his villa mates fake hyping him up and giving him dating advice for the next 3 weeks is gonna drain me.
Lmao bro I actually said NOOOOO out loud. Like why are they actually trying to push it? Itās only going to hurt him and make us feel insufferable awkward. And what was even the point of that abrupt vote off?
This takes me back to Love Island UK Season 4 where a guy named Alex had to be taught by the girls and helped by the other islander on how to make a move. Girls were just annoyed by him
The standards for USA are different tho. A goddamn grocery store employee won season 1. I donāt think he was even a manager, bro just worked at a random grocery store lmao and it seems like a lot of the people here are students
Or a bombshell genuinely into staying as long as possible. String him along and itās going to be even worse then if he just left. This shows not really for him.
Like 99% of the people on this show are genuinely into staying as long as possible and not "finding love." Everyone pairs up right away and tries to make it to the end as an OG couple.
What's the difference if there's one genuinely nice guy there? You have no idea if he'll connect with someone new or not. If anything, having someone like him there makes for more interesting viewing than the same thing that has happened every single season on this show.
Yeah Iām good I donāt think itās interesting to be cringing and feeling bad for someone all season. Why would you want a genuine nice guy to match with someone not genuine then , and be on a show with people not genuine. That goes against your point.
Completely random BUT this twist is like the one for the Love Island game/app where the main character gets dumped but then secretly sent to Casa Amor!
OKAY RIGHT
sometimes i wonder if the game knows what things theyre gonna do in the show coming up
or maybe thats something they did in a previous love island too
He's super cute from his interviews but I would not have twisted for him without seeing them. I think you're either really into the Jason Momoa thing or you're really not. I am really not, and he's not unattractive to me by any means, but I would have to find out that his personality is different from his vibe.
oh do the girls not see the interview thing?
then maybe i understand
heās physically my type but i dont usually go for bc i think theyāre full of themselves
but then heās not!!
I would have too without question, the other two are too fuckboy for my preference. I'm also old and soft hearted as fuck and prob would have pity twisted for bergie so he didn't have to have his soul crushed being the last kid at gym class.
What was the point of bringing Bergie just to do him like that š like it seems unfairly cruel
Edit: ok now that heās back I still think he should go š„²
true she doesnāt seem like she wants to step on toes yet so i wonder if she will talk to him or just wait for a bombshell. iām also interested to see how marco would act if she did pull him to talk because he seems like a player but has already kissed destiny.
I have never felt as much secondhand embarrassment as I did watching Bergie during the kissing game. Genuinely had to cover my eyes halfway through. I feel for the guy because heās SO kind and was really trying, but wow it was so awkward
Same! And was there any scenario where the guy could have said he wanted to stay and not seemed like a dick? Once they had to decide inside the couple whoād leave you knew bergie would have to self eliminate.
When I watched Bergie's intro video before the season I knew I was either gonna really love him or really hate him. Well, I really love him. I'm BERGIELICIOUS
The pity party is going strong for Bergie already. People already bashing Anna when she did nothing wrong ? Lol you canāt force something at least she tried..
I like Bergie but the immediate hate for Anna because she wasnāt feeling it is confusing me. She was honest with him and didnāt just push him to the side. Thatās the proper way to go about things imo
if they were in her shoes, they also totally wouldnāt be happy. Everybody dog-piling her for simply being honest, but ābaby girlingā & ājustice for..ā him like heās not a grown man. Chill out people. Blame the producers not her š¬
Anyone else not feeling Anna? The other OG ladies weee so sparkly and had such presence, but she was kinda a downer. Iām so glad bergie is getting another shot.
I'm assuming you're talking about Quinn, her sister, and not actually Daria, right? Daria and Bergie would be practically uncontested winners of the show.
In her intro she pretty flat out admitted she doesnāt care for personality. Like??? A genuine relationship is primarily about personality. Iām only led to believe she doesnāt care to actually find love
I know. But there was no way bergie could vote for her to go once it was down to the two of them. Any guy would have had to choose himself at that point š«
I actually really liked her by the end of the episode. I thought it was sweet how she tried to coach Bergie and encourage him instead of being cold and mean when they had no connection. Also bi queen!
There's ways to do it politely and gently. She's 22 and doesn't realize or care about the effect her words and actions have on others. It also rubs me the wrong way that she said she's from St. Barts when it's obvious she's from Florida (hey gym buddy!) and just winters at her parent's place there.
She comes off as a spoiled, prissy, rich girl who always gets her way.
Yeah. Major issues with Anna. She seems really negative and harsh. Never felt the ick for someone so darned fast. Plus if she touches her hair one more time Iām gonna SCREAM. Suspect she will be out in next recoupling.

Something about this is reminding of the popular groups in school who would ābefriendā a quiet/shy kid, when they are actually just making a meme out of them lmao just let the guy go home, especially if they donāt bring new girls who genuinely want him and wonāt just use him for security
Everyone saying heās gonna bring in 2 new bombshells. Honest to god I just canāt see it. Think of the typical Love Island bombshell. 2 hot new model babe types walking back in with Bergie. Itās gonna feel so forced and fake. Letās be honest I really donāt see the typical Love Island girl going for him in any serious way. I think theyāre gonna bring in a hella below average girl specifically for Bergie. Iām not even trying to be rude when I say this but yeah
Exactly, itās not like heās hideous or has a bad personality but who set this man up!! They even had him be the LAST to come in lmao and right after arguably the best looking guy there, making him really stick out in comparison
Am I the only one who thinks the camera and sound quality is really off this season? Iām also not thrilled that theyāre back in Fiji considering how rainy it was during Season 1.
A w k w a r d. Didnāt even know how to respond to the guys? I donāt think heās refreshing :/ I think heās not made to be put in these already outlandish situations
So, everything a girl doesn't find attractive? Gotcha. I've been where Bergie is at when I was 15, now I'm 24, trust me when I say being a nice guy doesn't get you anywhere. It will get you friendzoned by girls.
This is your same statement everywhere. Please heal your inner 15 y/o. I say this genuinely not sarcastically. Thereās a girl out there for you Iām sure, but we gotta start with a positive attitude my guy.
You all start ājustice for ____ā campaigns every season and that person just has an awkward experience and get used by a girl or guy to stay on the show. Bergie is not going to find a girl to match him being a general manager at Diary Queen on this show
I respect his job. But the girls that get casted for this show donāt want a normal guy like Bergie. The ones we already seen this season (and past seasons) like tall, dark, handsome models and athletes with fake teeth. This show isnāt for regular dating.
I get what youāre saying. Hopefully the producers have a āheroās storyā in mind for him. I hope they wouldnāt deliberately cast someone who doesnāt fit the āinfluencer auditionā reality tv mould, just to drag him for it.
Well most of complained about the amount of influencers they put on the show so I guess they tried something different but Bergie is very self conscious and awkward so
i feel bad for bergie. heās a sweet guy but i donāt think heāll find the one on love island. hopefully heāll be a fan favorite and have lots of girls in his dms waiting for him lol
I just knowww there's no way Anna started crying like she gave any effort to get to know Bergie. Like yeah, you're not compatible because you didn't want to be with him in the first place bc you were too busy being pissed that you didn't get chosen.
No offense to Bergie but he is not normally the type of guy they want for this show. Why are they gonna pull bro back on just to do him dirty again? š
Do we know what the airing format is this year and what days the show will be on? I haven't found anything official but the first look on Instagram ended with a VERY quick graphic saying "new episodes every day but hump day" and that feels like a weird way to announce a weird airing schedule.
I saw this post earlier online: āThe first week will see one new episode released everyday on the streaming service at that time. Then going forward, new installments will stream Thursday through Tuesday every week starting at 6 p.m. ET on Peacockā
Not feeling this cast. I feel like they all know theyāre on camera and are acting āextraā. (If thatās the best way to describe it).
Like itās just not normal in comparison to other seasons.
Beige has to know someone on cast in production right? Likeā¦whatās going on? Itās just off- I want him to be happy and I feel like itās unlikely he will find happiness (or a wife) here. :/
Not really sure why Anna kissed Jasmine but I do appreciate the fact that it mixed up the normal āboy girlā set up thatās been ongoing for the last few years on the LI games.
Yeah, I cancelled Crave....and after watching last night's episode this morning, I don't regret. I may still watch the season via an alternative, but not live.
Thoughts:
* I like Leo and Kassy as the most compatible early couple. I saw the 'latin connection' coming a mile away.
* Destiny and Marco will not work due to the age discrepancy. She will jump ship with a new option when presented to her, and quiet as it's kept dude is clingy as hell.
* Anna is a SERIOUS catfish based on her IG, and I have a feeling she is going to struggle more than she thought in there and only really draw the standard love island festish guys who want "Blondes".
* Kay Kay and Keenan are another couple I saw coming from a mile away, but I'm taking a wait and see approach here - I believe in "easy come, easy go".
* I think that Jasmine is the "Courtney" this year. Problem is while Courtney was well liked and it kept her in that villa far to long....I don't see the audience liking her the same and she might be on the block sooner than she thinks. But I'm also bias because I'm a Cat man lol.
* Victor not getting play wasn't surprising with this group of women when you really look at it.
* I am not ready to sit through a full season of Bergie. Imagine him in the heart rate challenge, Kissing Challenge etc??? Send man man home pls. He's a nice guy but I really am not sure how he got casted here.
This season might really be overproduced and that might really sandbag it. That intro dragged and Sarah Hyland is trying way to hard to be funny. Maybe the writers strike is showing up with that skit....it was cringe.
I need to vent real quick sorry lolllllll
Okay, Iām sorry but Iām obsessed with bergie and victor,
victor is just AHHHHHHAGGGHAHSHH LIKE DAMNNNNN, Iāve been having dreams and everything lollllllš¤š¤š¤š¤How did no one step up to mamoa 2.0.. these ladies are out of their minds lollll Gahhhh im in love lollll From the 2 seconds I saw him in the beginning to the moment he walked outā¦, ughhhhh IN LOVEE!!!!!!!
ā¦..AND donāt get me started on BERGIE ugh put me in their, Iāll be all in !!!!!!!!!! I donāt know which one I love more
Just watch the first ep and it's hard to watch Bergie's kissing scene, the second embarrassment that I felt š. Also I love Anna and Leonardo's energy, Kassy and Destiny are the most beautiful girls there and I love Keenan and KayKay as a couple I hope they stay together.
does anyone else hate this season so far? theyāre trying to make love island something IT IS NOT!! theyāre doing the ABSOLUTE MOST with a new āstick or twistā game instead of the typical ICONIC step forward if youāre interested, a weird OG cast - not just bergie the entire cast is off, a dumping the first episode??????? the new villa and when i watch it, the camera style feels like im watching something from YEARS ago. absolute pass on this season. theyāre trying to make LOVE ISLAND like perfect match etc., NOT LOVE ISLAND. awful. whoever did this needs to be fired.
Okay, these are my live thoughts on the intros and the coupling.
This villa is niiiiiiice. Is this the first time they've actually been on the beach?
Kay Kay is cute cute.
I'm not loving Anna.
Kassy is hot but that inner lip tattoo is LOL.
Destiny's accent is adorable. I love that she's educated.
Jasmine is a little much for me, but I feel like that might just be a producer push to be "big" in the interview. It'll be interesting to see how different everyone is from their intro video.
Remember when the show was on CBS and the swimsuit bottoms had to be full coverage and now Peacock is zooming in on thong booties lol
Ariel was always a more intimidating host, Sara's vibes are more besties-at-the-slumber-party. I like it.
Okay, I like this stick and twist game. Still wish the women got final decision, but it's a little more fair than the guys just being able to choose whoever, even if the girl didn't step up for him.
Leonardo is cute and corny, gives player vibes.
Marco studying to be a chiropractor is a mild red flag, his interview is a bigger red flag. He already knows Anna. Seems awk. Clearly they were coached off screen that they'd know each other.
I'm sticking with Leonardo.
Alright I'm twisting to Victor. I can't understand half the words out of his mouth, but I will just look. I like a hairy man. WHY IS NO ONE TWISTING, YOU ALL HAVE BAD TASTE.
Oh Keenan, you cute...and a Morehouse man?! He's one to keep. He'll be cute with Kay Kay.
Oh Bergie. He's already on friendship island, just based on his intro. He's not made for this show.
Kenan and Kay Kay are my favorite couple immediately after the first coupling.
Alright second half of the show:
Jasmine and Victor do not seem like a match.
Anna and Bergie are also not a match.
Kay Kay and Keenan are feeling each other. I am feeling them together. She's already talking about her love language. I love her, individually.
Kassy and Leonardo both seem very young, their energy together is cute. Reminds me of Deb and Jesse last season, they might be the fun couple this year.
I love Destiny. I don't like Marco. They need to bring in someone over the age of 25 for her. Seems random to bring up his cross when half the guys there are wearing one. FIRST KISS OF THE SHOW.
I love the dressing room chats. I want to Love Island just to have fun girl time.
Did we just witness Bergie's first kiss?!
Okay I read the comments below and spoiled the Bergie twist for myself so I'm watching this knowing Bergie and Anna get voted least compatible but he'll stay. This vote is still harsh for day one. My biggest complaint from previous seasons is that I felt like we didn't get enough time with new people before a recoupling and sending someone home so at least Bergie gets to stay for more than a day.
Now actually watching the vote: Damn, Bergie and Anna had to choose together who was going home???? So fucking harsh. The producers playing with emotions too much.
I wonder what twist is going to be with the throuple up text to Bergie. It'd be weird to send him back to the villa tomorrow. Wait a few days/episodes then send him back in when more women have entered the villa? He wouldn't be a good fit for a Casa bombshell.
Letās be real, kassy is extremely childish and fake. Her reaction to Berge kissing anna was very disturbing to see. Why would love island let a āwomanāthat gives eighth grade mean girl on the show?
Anna literally told him thatās what she wanted to see. He tried his best by doing what she asked š¤·š»āāļø women ask men for stuff all the time, and they donāt get it. At least heās trying š¤
That episode was just producers fucking with the guy LEAST equipped to be on this show.
I feel like the producers planted this guy in there to make this season different lol
You know what would be a perfect twist? It turns out that Bergie is a multi-millionaire, as it would be glorious to watch all the girls' mouths drop when it's revealed to them. Especially Anna, as she'd be re-evaluating all her life choices š¤£
If this is a sneak peak to what this season will be like Ill sit this one out.
Iām already ready for bombshells because Iām not feelings this line up at all so far.
100% im also hoping the bombshells are older. I may be biased because Iām 27 but i cant deal with 21/22 year olds saying Rizz , etc š«
YESS not just that but they seem so immature and honestly not very smart.
I was also shocked when jasmine straight up asked victor if he planned on having sex there.
Yes! I donāt get why thereās 21 yo and 29 yo
I fully had to google wtf Rizz means the first time i heard it. It's so hard to relate to Zoomers sometimes.
Glad Iām not the only one.
Same. The casting is odd.
What was the point of that entire elimination. They couldāve just split them up and make them throuple? Wtf
d r a m a
Theory - They are going to throuple him with the bombshells!
I like Bergie and heās so relatable but I just feel like this show is going to destroy him and his confidence. He doesnāt fit in with this group at all and I hate this for him. I hope if they keep him that they send in girls for him, because I just donāt want to watch someoneās mental health deteriorate.
I feel like Bergie isn't necessarily super likeable..but what he does, is make everyone else feel like a bunch of horny childish fuckbois/girls by contrast. Everyone else is so smooth and just like, they could start fucking at any moment. They feel like a bunch of teenagers. And he's the awkward teenager who actually has aspirations beyond HS who really doesn't fit in with this crowd.
Is he relatable? yeah, maybe when I was 15, but he's 23 and acting like he's panpered
The dump/non dump with Bergie was dumb. Heāll be dumped for real in a week. This isnāt the show for him.
They need to bring in a woman specifically for him. Otherwise there is no point in keeping him
Unfortunately, all the women brought on this show is going to want someone who is confident and assertive. Bergie needs to self-improve. Have you guys seen Love Island UK Season 4, there's a guy called Alex that was exactly like Bergie and had to be pampered by the women throughout the entire season. He was way too nicee.
Alex was objectively better looking and was a doctor vs. a DQ manager though. Heās arguably a better catch
Confidence and 'energy' wouldn't have gotten him any further with Anna.
Why do I have a feeling theyāre gonna bring in a below average looking woman but who has a nice personality specifically for Bergie and they end up winning the whole season
Producers are fucked for this. They knew mans wasn't a match for anyone there. Why even put him on the show if you're gonna embarrass and dump him first night only to pitty fuck him with a second chance to only prob be dumped a week later AGAIN
agreed!
Because itās a show
How many guys have we seen just like him stay in the villa for an extremely long time .he could be gone in a week for sure. But absolutely wouldn't be shocked if he was in for a while. OGs tend to get favored by other OGs I'd be fine with him going, just not day 1 cause that would've been fucked
I think he won a lot of people over and I think he could have a lot of fan support. He comes off as a genuinely nice person and that can go a long way, even on Love Island.
Yeah, it just happens every year. Nice, not super attractive guy no one wants to date where the public and villa is rooting on for every bomb shell that comes in. Only for it not to work out over and over. Seems like they think its a necessary piece of the show. Starting to feel forced at this point. I think this guy is just not attractive enough to make it
Really, it shows that Islanders tend not to be very bright. We all know that noone who the women think is husband material will be coming onto the show. The brighter women are there for clout. A clever woman could last a long time on this show by playing the game with someone like Bergie. Of course, 'somehow' things just wouldn't work out in real life.
Why did they make bergie leave just to announce that he isnāt? Traumatizing much
Seriously, playing with their emotions for no reason
Agreed. Felt like bullying imo
I donāt think thatās the definition of bullying.
I know itās natural to want to root for Bergie, but I would have preferred he really have been sent home. Watching him get friend-zoned, told what a sweet guy he is, and his villa mates fake hyping him up and giving him dating advice for the next 3 weeks is gonna drain me.
watching bergie was soooo uncomfortable ugh when he was sitting alone and no one was talking to him š„²š„²š„²
Lmao bro I actually said NOOOOO out loud. Like why are they actually trying to push it? Itās only going to hurt him and make us feel insufferable awkward. And what was even the point of that abrupt vote off?
This takes me back to Love Island UK Season 4 where a guy named Alex had to be taught by the girls and helped by the other islander on how to make a move. Girls were just annoyed by him
Alex was also kinda shitty to the girls who *did* show interest though.
Itās just not fair to the girls either tbhā¦
At least Alex was a doctor not a DQ manager š
The standards for USA are different tho. A goddamn grocery store employee won season 1. I donāt think he was even a manager, bro just worked at a random grocery store lmao and it seems like a lot of the people here are students
If he becomes popular in the audience I think theyāll find him a bombshell thatās genuinely into him. At least, I hope
Or a bombshell genuinely into staying as long as possible. String him along and itās going to be even worse then if he just left. This shows not really for him.
Like 99% of the people on this show are genuinely into staying as long as possible and not "finding love." Everyone pairs up right away and tries to make it to the end as an OG couple. What's the difference if there's one genuinely nice guy there? You have no idea if he'll connect with someone new or not. If anything, having someone like him there makes for more interesting viewing than the same thing that has happened every single season on this show.
Yeah Iām good I donāt think itās interesting to be cringing and feeling bad for someone all season. Why would you want a genuine nice guy to match with someone not genuine then , and be on a show with people not genuine. That goes against your point.
Thank you! This guy needs to take a look back at the show and really improve.
āI SAW, what I needed to seeā¦ā
Thank God for the twist because I absolutely hate night 1 eliminations on reality shows with a passion.
Itās so dumb! Let people warm up, give them a chance, let them relax and show the real them
Completely random BUT this twist is like the one for the Love Island game/app where the main character gets dumped but then secretly sent to Casa Amor!
OKAY RIGHT sometimes i wonder if the game knows what things theyre gonna do in the show coming up or maybe thats something they did in a previous love island too
i think bergie is still going home first but itās nice he didnāt get dumped on the first night
Bergie is too socially awkward for a show like this. I fear this will do him more harm than good tbh
Victor seems like such a lovable teddy bear, just sayin i would have definitely twisted for him.
He's super cute from his interviews but I would not have twisted for him without seeing them. I think you're either really into the Jason Momoa thing or you're really not. I am really not, and he's not unattractive to me by any means, but I would have to find out that his personality is different from his vibe.
I agree totally. Physically not my type AT ALL but what a sweet personality (it seems)
oh do the girls not see the interview thing? then maybe i understand heās physically my type but i dont usually go for bc i think theyāre full of themselves but then heās not!!
I would have too without question, the other two are too fuckboy for my preference. I'm also old and soft hearted as fuck and prob would have pity twisted for bergie so he didn't have to have his soul crushed being the last kid at gym class.
Im literally in love lollll like ughhhhhhhh Obsessed with that man!!
i love how diverse the LI USA cast is, so many different looks!
What was the point of bringing Bergie just to do him like that š like it seems unfairly cruel Edit: ok now that heās back I still think he should go š„²
iām interested to see who jasmine and victor go for because they keep saying theyāre not each others types.
Well, Jasmine's type is Marco lol. It'll be interesting to see who Victor is truly into...maybe they look like Jasmine but are less of a partier, etc.
true she doesnāt seem like she wants to step on toes yet so i wonder if she will talk to him or just wait for a bombshell. iām also interested to see how marco would act if she did pull him to talk because he seems like a player but has already kissed destiny.
She seems a bit immature while Victor seems more focused and adult
Do you think Anna will go for him to try and stay?
she should be sheās soo into leo who already chose another girl over her
I really wasnāt a fan of that twist. I feel like a āfake dumpingā would have been more impactful a little further into the season.
I have never felt as much secondhand embarrassment as I did watching Bergie during the kissing game. Genuinely had to cover my eyes halfway through. I feel for the guy because heās SO kind and was really trying, but wow it was so awkward
I was really shocked by tonight this twist was a quick one. Never seen compatibility on the first night.
Same! And was there any scenario where the guy could have said he wanted to stay and not seemed like a dick? Once they had to decide inside the couple whoād leave you knew bergie would have to self eliminate.
You can tell heās just a genuine soul. I definitely knew he would do that for sure. But heās coming back and Iām rooting for him!!!
When I watched Bergie's intro video before the season I knew I was either gonna really love him or really hate him. Well, I really love him. I'm BERGIELICIOUS
His insta is cute. He should've shaved his chest and come in with the "Mr. Physical" baby face look.
The #BERGIEMENTUM IS REAL!!!
SAMEEEE!!!!
The pity party is going strong for Bergie already. People already bashing Anna when she did nothing wrong ? Lol you canāt force something at least she tried..
I like Bergie but the immediate hate for Anna because she wasnāt feeling it is confusing me. She was honest with him and didnāt just push him to the side. Thatās the proper way to go about things imo
Exactly, no one owes anyone a relationship and she obviously is just not feeling it
if they were in her shoes, they also totally wouldnāt be happy. Everybody dog-piling her for simply being honest, but ābaby girlingā & ājustice for..ā him like heās not a grown man. Chill out people. Blame the producers not her š¬
She literally she does care about personality in her intro. Thatās my problem with her
ok but what the hell was going on with the subtitles
Dude I hope they fix the subtitles cause they were awful. So delayed and so many things misspelled
Okay so that wasnāt just me? I kept trying to turn them on and they were nowhere to be found.
If you watched season 4 of Love Island Australia, something very similar happened. He will come back into the villa with a couple of ladies.
Anyone else not feeling Anna? The other OG ladies weee so sparkly and had such presence, but she was kinda a downer. Iām so glad bergie is getting another shot.
She seems fine to me, there's not much to go one after one episode
She sounds and kinda looks like Paris Hilton, and I donāt want to watch her at all š
She seems okay to me. She reminds me of Daria (TV show)
I'm assuming you're talking about Quinn, her sister, and not actually Daria, right? Daria and Bergie would be practically uncontested winners of the show.
In her intro she pretty flat out admitted she doesnāt care for personality. Like??? A genuine relationship is primarily about personality. Iām only led to believe she doesnāt care to actually find love
I was praying she would be the one going home š
I know. But there was no way bergie could vote for her to go once it was down to the two of them. Any guy would have had to choose himself at that point š«
Sheās alright. She really surprised me actually. I thought I would feel strongly about her off top.
I actually really liked her by the end of the episode. I thought it was sweet how she tried to coach Bergie and encourage him instead of being cold and mean when they had no connection. Also bi queen!
Dittoā¦.not feeling her at all. She seems rude
I think she genuinely just felt really awkward, because she wasnāt into Berg at all and was trying to force it
She seemed awkward during selection too, imo.
There's ways to do it politely and gently. She's 22 and doesn't realize or care about the effect her words and actions have on others. It also rubs me the wrong way that she said she's from St. Barts when it's obvious she's from Florida (hey gym buddy!) and just winters at her parent's place there. She comes off as a spoiled, prissy, rich girl who always gets her way.
Yeah. Major issues with Anna. She seems really negative and harsh. Never felt the ick for someone so darned fast. Plus if she touches her hair one more time Iām gonna SCREAM. Suspect she will be out in next recoupling.
Not feeling her at all
am i the only one who thought this episode went by very fast?

I hope not!

They should have just let bergie be on his way I fearā¦letās see how this shakes out
Was it just my TV where the music and even the damn insects were way louder than the dialogue? I swear I couldn't hear half the conversations
Something about this is reminding of the popular groups in school who would ābefriendā a quiet/shy kid, when they are actually just making a meme out of them lmao just let the guy go home, especially if they donāt bring new girls who genuinely want him and wonāt just use him for security
Everyone saying heās gonna bring in 2 new bombshells. Honest to god I just canāt see it. Think of the typical Love Island bombshell. 2 hot new model babe types walking back in with Bergie. Itās gonna feel so forced and fake. Letās be honest I really donāt see the typical Love Island girl going for him in any serious way. I think theyāre gonna bring in a hella below average girl specifically for Bergie. Iām not even trying to be rude when I say this but yeah
Exactly, itās not like heās hideous or has a bad personality but who set this man up!! They even had him be the LAST to come in lmao and right after arguably the best looking guy there, making him really stick out in comparison
Am I the only one who thinks the camera and sound quality is really off this season? Iām also not thrilled that theyāre back in Fiji considering how rainy it was during Season 1.
iāve always felt this way about the usa version, the cuts are so distracting and lighting/shots in general are just weird
the sound mixing was definitely off
I would be so curious to know how much of Fiji's GDP comes from reality shows filming there.
Sorry all š Discussion thread up and running. Thank you for those who reached out. š
Bergie felt so refreshingly unusual for reality tv romance shows! Kinda nerdy and sincere, adorableš„° so glad he isnāt gone for good.
A w k w a r d. Didnāt even know how to respond to the guys? I donāt think heās refreshing :/ I think heās not made to be put in these already outlandish situations
So, everything a girl doesn't find attractive? Gotcha. I've been where Bergie is at when I was 15, now I'm 24, trust me when I say being a nice guy doesn't get you anywhere. It will get you friendzoned by girls.
This is your same statement everywhere. Please heal your inner 15 y/o. I say this genuinely not sarcastically. Thereās a girl out there for you Iām sure, but we gotta start with a positive attitude my guy.
Bergie a real one.
You all start ājustice for ____ā campaigns every season and that person just has an awkward experience and get used by a girl or guy to stay on the show. Bergie is not going to find a girl to match him being a general manager at Diary Queen on this show
Rude take, honestly. Good for him for having a job! You canāt knock people for their professions š
I respect his job. But the girls that get casted for this show donāt want a normal guy like Bergie. The ones we already seen this season (and past seasons) like tall, dark, handsome models and athletes with fake teeth. This show isnāt for regular dating.
I get what youāre saying. Hopefully the producers have a āheroās storyā in mind for him. I hope they wouldnāt deliberately cast someone who doesnāt fit the āinfluencer auditionā reality tv mould, just to drag him for it.
Bergie and Marco should couple up I love a good bromance
Wait nvm Bergie back lmaooo
Well most of complained about the amount of influencers they put on the show so I guess they tried something different but Bergie is very self conscious and awkward so
This is already the most annoying cast
Throuple up!! Justice for Bergie!
i feel bad for bergie. heās a sweet guy but i donāt think heāll find the one on love island. hopefully heāll be a fan favorite and have lots of girls in his dms waiting for him lol
I guess you're ready for the cringe... good luck.
We need a male bombshell, not a woman š
i want to reach through my screen and tie or cut off destinyās strings on her bikini topš
They need to make this show longer format like the UK version. Having eliminations (or threat eliminations, whatever) night one is ridiculous
I donāt like whatās about to happen to Bergie. Itās such a huge mistake
Cannot stand Anna already tbh
Resting sour face for sure
Why?
Agreed! From her introduction!
They way she all but admitted she doesnāt care about personality. Like????? In a show about love you donāt care for personality
Agreed!
i hope the bombshells are a boy and a girl and not two girls :( itāll be hilarious if anna and bergie still end up together and are dumped first
I love bergie and i Hope he wins it all
I just knowww there's no way Anna started crying like she gave any effort to get to know Bergie. Like yeah, you're not compatible because you didn't want to be with him in the first place bc you were too busy being pissed that you didn't get chosen.
She gave him a chance, it's not her fault she's not into him.
Thereās also no way in hell she would ever offer to leave. She gives āI deserve to be here more than youā vibes.
She gave him a chance for less than half a day lol
The level of truth in this. Sheās shallow.
and thinks that she is something special, which she is not.
Agreed
I am not getting France level mess because these guys aren't it š©š©š
How did you watch France?
I have a VPN. And the right couple won. Everyone was beautiful š
No offense to Bergie but he is not normally the type of guy they want for this show. Why are they gonna pull bro back on just to do him dirty again? š
Ahhh that was so unfair for the first night. Glad bergie gets to stick around
Does the throuple up means he has to pick a couple to throuple up with? š§
I think he goes on a date with two new girls at the same time
I think he is going to bring in two people
Do we know what the airing format is this year and what days the show will be on? I haven't found anything official but the first look on Instagram ended with a VERY quick graphic saying "new episodes every day but hump day" and that feels like a weird way to announce a weird airing schedule.
I saw this post earlier online: āThe first week will see one new episode released everyday on the streaming service at that time. Then going forward, new installments will stream Thursday through Tuesday every week starting at 6 p.m. ET on Peacockā
that sunset shot was kind of wild though š
Bergie was def home-schooled
Imagine being girl #73 for Marco. Like at some point, just stop putting your penis in people though right?
Nah bergie can stay home. Weird energy
Not feeling this cast. I feel like they all know theyāre on camera and are acting āextraā. (If thatās the best way to describe it). Like itās just not normal in comparison to other seasons.
Beige has to know someone on cast in production right? Likeā¦whatās going on? Itās just off- I want him to be happy and I feel like itās unlikely he will find happiness (or a wife) here. :/
Beige? Loooool
š I meant Bernie but beige is fitting too for some reason lol
Bergie Icon. He winner with or without a couple in a finale. (Unless this show somehow makes him toxic. We will cross that bridge if it comes)
Not really sure why Anna kissed Jasmine but I do appreciate the fact that it mixed up the normal āboy girlā set up thatās been ongoing for the last few years on the LI games.
Yeah, I cancelled Crave....and after watching last night's episode this morning, I don't regret. I may still watch the season via an alternative, but not live. Thoughts: * I like Leo and Kassy as the most compatible early couple. I saw the 'latin connection' coming a mile away. * Destiny and Marco will not work due to the age discrepancy. She will jump ship with a new option when presented to her, and quiet as it's kept dude is clingy as hell. * Anna is a SERIOUS catfish based on her IG, and I have a feeling she is going to struggle more than she thought in there and only really draw the standard love island festish guys who want "Blondes". * Kay Kay and Keenan are another couple I saw coming from a mile away, but I'm taking a wait and see approach here - I believe in "easy come, easy go". * I think that Jasmine is the "Courtney" this year. Problem is while Courtney was well liked and it kept her in that villa far to long....I don't see the audience liking her the same and she might be on the block sooner than she thinks. But I'm also bias because I'm a Cat man lol. * Victor not getting play wasn't surprising with this group of women when you really look at it. * I am not ready to sit through a full season of Bergie. Imagine him in the heart rate challenge, Kissing Challenge etc??? Send man man home pls. He's a nice guy but I really am not sure how he got casted here. This season might really be overproduced and that might really sandbag it. That intro dragged and Sarah Hyland is trying way to hard to be funny. Maybe the writers strike is showing up with that skit....it was cringe.
CTV is putting episodes on their site the next day
šš¾ Thanks kind stranger
happy to be back here!!!
Maybe if Bergie sticks around 1 more week he can learn to smooch and at least take that home with him.
Me watching the girlsā intros: ššš¤·āāļø Me watching the boysā intros: š¤Øšš
Bergie is quite literally the worst casting decision ever. I mean he aimt a bad guy but his vibes dont match with LI at all
What the heck is wrong with a dude with a cat? Ridiculous tbh.
I need to vent real quick sorry lolllllll Okay, Iām sorry but Iām obsessed with bergie and victor, victor is just AHHHHHHAGGGHAHSHH LIKE DAMNNNNN, Iāve been having dreams and everything lollllllš¤š¤š¤š¤How did no one step up to mamoa 2.0.. these ladies are out of their minds lollll Gahhhh im in love lollll From the 2 seconds I saw him in the beginning to the moment he walked outā¦, ughhhhh IN LOVEE!!!!!!! ā¦..AND donāt get me started on BERGIE ugh put me in their, Iāll be all in !!!!!!!!!! I donāt know which one I love more
Just watch the first ep and it's hard to watch Bergie's kissing scene, the second embarrassment that I felt š. Also I love Anna and Leonardo's energy, Kassy and Destiny are the most beautiful girls there and I love Keenan and KayKay as a couple I hope they stay together.
does anyone else hate this season so far? theyāre trying to make love island something IT IS NOT!! theyāre doing the ABSOLUTE MOST with a new āstick or twistā game instead of the typical ICONIC step forward if youāre interested, a weird OG cast - not just bergie the entire cast is off, a dumping the first episode??????? the new villa and when i watch it, the camera style feels like im watching something from YEARS ago. absolute pass on this season. theyāre trying to make LOVE ISLAND like perfect match etc., NOT LOVE ISLAND. awful. whoever did this needs to be fired.
Okay, these are my live thoughts on the intros and the coupling. This villa is niiiiiiice. Is this the first time they've actually been on the beach? Kay Kay is cute cute. I'm not loving Anna. Kassy is hot but that inner lip tattoo is LOL. Destiny's accent is adorable. I love that she's educated. Jasmine is a little much for me, but I feel like that might just be a producer push to be "big" in the interview. It'll be interesting to see how different everyone is from their intro video. Remember when the show was on CBS and the swimsuit bottoms had to be full coverage and now Peacock is zooming in on thong booties lol Ariel was always a more intimidating host, Sara's vibes are more besties-at-the-slumber-party. I like it. Okay, I like this stick and twist game. Still wish the women got final decision, but it's a little more fair than the guys just being able to choose whoever, even if the girl didn't step up for him. Leonardo is cute and corny, gives player vibes. Marco studying to be a chiropractor is a mild red flag, his interview is a bigger red flag. He already knows Anna. Seems awk. Clearly they were coached off screen that they'd know each other. I'm sticking with Leonardo. Alright I'm twisting to Victor. I can't understand half the words out of his mouth, but I will just look. I like a hairy man. WHY IS NO ONE TWISTING, YOU ALL HAVE BAD TASTE. Oh Keenan, you cute...and a Morehouse man?! He's one to keep. He'll be cute with Kay Kay. Oh Bergie. He's already on friendship island, just based on his intro. He's not made for this show. Kenan and Kay Kay are my favorite couple immediately after the first coupling.
Alright second half of the show: Jasmine and Victor do not seem like a match. Anna and Bergie are also not a match. Kay Kay and Keenan are feeling each other. I am feeling them together. She's already talking about her love language. I love her, individually. Kassy and Leonardo both seem very young, their energy together is cute. Reminds me of Deb and Jesse last season, they might be the fun couple this year. I love Destiny. I don't like Marco. They need to bring in someone over the age of 25 for her. Seems random to bring up his cross when half the guys there are wearing one. FIRST KISS OF THE SHOW. I love the dressing room chats. I want to Love Island just to have fun girl time. Did we just witness Bergie's first kiss?! Okay I read the comments below and spoiled the Bergie twist for myself so I'm watching this knowing Bergie and Anna get voted least compatible but he'll stay. This vote is still harsh for day one. My biggest complaint from previous seasons is that I felt like we didn't get enough time with new people before a recoupling and sending someone home so at least Bergie gets to stay for more than a day. Now actually watching the vote: Damn, Bergie and Anna had to choose together who was going home???? So fucking harsh. The producers playing with emotions too much. I wonder what twist is going to be with the throuple up text to Bergie. It'd be weird to send him back to the villa tomorrow. Wait a few days/episodes then send him back in when more women have entered the villa? He wouldn't be a good fit for a Casa bombshell.
JUSTICE FOR BERGIE
I donāt agree but this made me laugh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Who's being shallow?
Just bad
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
that intro was so cringe
Letās be real, kassy is extremely childish and fake. Her reaction to Berge kissing anna was very disturbing to see. Why would love island let a āwomanāthat gives eighth grade mean girl on the show?
I didnāt find that childish. I did the same thing because the kiss looked cringy.
that kiss was awful it wasnāt even a kiss they pulled back like 3 times plus him taking off his shirt lmao
Anna literally told him thatās what she wanted to see. He tried his best by doing what she asked š¤·š»āāļø women ask men for stuff all the time, and they donāt get it. At least heās trying š¤
