Love Island USA season 5 released episode 10 a few hours ago. Previously, episode 9 ended with two contestants standing in the elimination, Victor Gonzalez and Carmen Kocourek. One among them was sure to leave. Episode 10 began with the safe contestants able to eliminate one of the two unsafe ones.
When the voting results were revealed, both Victor Gonzalez and Carmen Kocourek were seen getting five votes each. Eventually, however, Hannah Maria Wright and Vickala 'Kay Kay' Gray decided to choose Victor rather than Carmen.
The reason why they took this decision was that Carmen had a connection to Carsten 'Bergie' Bergersen.
However, following the decision in the eliminations, when Carmen realized she was safe, she was no longer interested in making a connection with Bergersen, which left the latter heartbroken.
As a result of Victor's elimination, social media is now buzzing with reactions from fans, many of whom feel that Victor's elimination was fair, given that he was a "bully" and a "gaslighter”.

In episode 10, Hannah and Kay Kay discussed their decision to eliminate Victor and wondered whether it was the right one. Although Hannah was still questioning her decision, Kay was confident that they did the right thing, saying:
"Imma tell you why. She's not interested in that. The decision we made was based on that, and I don't think that's gonna happen."
While 28-year-old wrestler Victor made headlines when he entered, his exit seems to have impressed fans rather than disappointed them. There were many times during his appearance on the show when he was unable to connect with other female cast members, especially during the introductory ceremony.
Even though he did make a strong connection with Jasmine Sklavanitis, Carmen Kocourek’s entry changed the dynamics completely.
In light of Victor's elimination, here's how some fans reacted on social media:
