@bet: [OPINION] This season of Love Island USA set out, as always, to sell the fantasy of finding love in a tropical paradise. But once again, the final results revealed a glaring truth that producers—and especially viewers—need to confront: audiences don’t actually want love. They want lust, mess, and chaos dressed up as romance. While couples like Chelley and Ace and Nick and Olandria showed real emotional connection, voters sent them home. Turns out, chaos wins hearts—love just gets dumped. Do you agree? Head to BET.com for more!

BET is just The Shade Room’s corporate brother. Both toxic and messy, one just more polished than the other

You really should have put Chris’ and Huda’s picture up when referencing “spectacle over substance”.

I just don’t see a 27 year-old woman in a 22 year-old old man going the distance.

If Ace/Cierra hadn’t made a spectacle at the beginning we would have had LOVE Island for real but trying to control everything so you can win it’s what ruined the whole process of the show.

MESSY :
Ace & Chelley could’ve easily been together before the show they were already in each other’s dm . Ace was never going to win he was to focus on everyone in villa as if its place to worry about how people was moving and scamming he showed his true colors. He picked Amaya knowing he wanted Chelley to fake like they’re exploring. We knew they wanted to portray a fake up/down situation to have a magical ending. After casa Chelley chose Ace after that why the hell she was worried about Chris and him chasing her if she and Ace were so strong. She only changed her actions after Ace and her found out America ranked them low. And for that we chose Amaya the most genuine sweetheart as the winner. Chelley wanted Chris to chase her so Ace would close off just to leave Chris hanging high and dry Huda saved him 😂 y’all must not know we could peep a snake from a mile away

chelly and ace lol? this is all ace’s fault for creating exploration island. if this was love island why did it take him 30 episodes to couple up with chelly? but he decided to vote out and lash out at people like amaya and jeremiah who actually wanted to connect with other’s authentically. I think chelly is beautiful but choosing to couple with a man who put down amaya and gaslighted her? i don’t think so. They both have wasted people’s time and deserved to get kicked off when they did.

I fear we all watched very different versions of the show lol. The islanders themselves voted out strong couples. Ed , Edd & Eddy (Ace, Nic Taylor) created a weird dynamic in the villa. Production played into yall colorism accusations bc Chelley crying the most but sharing Amaya's moments more is the one to blame. Nicolandria being a spectacle is wild! This was a a true slow burn which they're still figuring out.

Watching it again for the second time, Jeremiah should’ve stayed and Austin and Iris/Amaya should’ve left. I love Amaya down but that elimination was based on friends not connections.

The spectacle was Huda manipulating everyone and weaponizing her tears. Not the black woman putting herself first and finally choosing the person who has been standing up for and by her since day one. Do better BET.
