It’s just the first episode of Love Island USA and viewers are shocked by the twists and turns of the show. Bergie, a 23-year-old Dairy Queen Manager, failed to find any partner in the Stick or Twist challenge in the first coupling itself. He then paired up with Anna by default, which he was not happy with, as they were not compatible at all. Others noted this too and voted them as the least compatible couple.
Sarah Hyland then shocked everyone by declaring that one of them would be eliminated. The pair had to make the decision themselves and Bergie, like the perfect gentleman, decided to eliminate himself.
He began to cry after making the decision, but explained:
"I just felt like I wouldn't be able to fall asleep in an empty bed tonight without a guilty conscience."
The contestants also got emotional and hugged him, without knowing that he was still in the game. He received the news via text and will be asked to “throuple up” in the next episode.
Love Island USA fans did not like this eviction stunt on Bergie, who was already feeling guilty and was teary-eyed.
Love Island USA fans don't think Bergie is made for TV
Within the first day, Bergie was seen getting overwhelmed by the people around him. He also got very excited after seeing the text that informed him he was still on the show.
"Bergie, everyone deserves a second chance #stillinthegame #coupleup," the text read.
However, Love Island USA fans felt that Bergie was not meant for such a brutal dating show and hoped that he would find love. They were also upset that the showmakers pretended to eliminate him.
