Love Island USA season 7 fans root for new bombshell Pepe and Amaya after Ace's betrayal: 'She can not leave the villa'

Love Island USA Season 7 recently brought in three new bombshells: Jalen Brown, Jose ¡°Pepe¡± Garcia, aka Pepe, and Iris Kendall. But fans are seriously unimpressed. Fans of the show took to social media to slam the show after the trio¡¯s official debut on Day 9, with many viewers claiming that producers once again missed the mark when it comes to delivering actual male ¡°bombshell¡± energy, as viewers have been pretty satisfied with their female counterparts.

The season may have only kicked off on June 3, but drama has been nonstop. Yulissa Escobar¡¯s removal over past resurfaced comments already shook things up, and now the reaction to the newest Islanders has added more chaos to the mix. However, amidst the chaos, fans have been relieved about Pepe's entry and want him to pair up with Pepe after she was 'betrayed' by Ace.

Love Island Season 7's new bombshells' casting disappoints viewers

Shortly after Love Island USA introduced the new bombshells in episode 9, fans rushed to social media to air their frustration. Most of the backlash was aimed at the choice of male contestants this season.

One user wrote, "Sorry, but Pepe and Jalen... Chop." Those two aren't doing it for me at all.

Fans want Pepe to pair up with Amaya

While the bombshells may not be exactly what fans pictured, there¡¯s no denying they¡¯ve already stirred things up in the villa. Right now, many viewers are shipping Amaya and Pepe, especially since she¡¯s at risk of elimination if she doesn¡¯t find a connection. After everything she went through with Ace and his manipulative behaviour, fans just want to see her stay in the game a little longer, and Pepe might be her shot.

One user wrote, "Amaya seems so calm with Pepe." "I kind of need them to end up together so she can stay in the villa longer." "I voted for Amaya and Pepe¡­ "You all have to see the vision, like, AMAYA CANNOT LEAVE THIS VILLA; SHE'S SO ENTERTAINING. Sorry," another said. A third added, "Vote Pepe and Amaya - she deserves aLove Islandd experience that Ace robbed from her."
