PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: It's not really a new concept that reality shows are rigged to a certain extent. But, is the dating show 'Love Island USA' Season 5 entirely framed? After seeing the results of Tuesday, July 25 night's election, viewers flooded the internet with claims that the show was scripted.
Leonardo Dionicio and Anna Kurdys were in danger of being eliminated from the competition until Marco Donatelli and Hannah Wright won the challenge. Fans appear to be betting on Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen and Kassy Castillo to triumph in the contest, though. The couple gave it their all and even earned the same points as Marco and Hannah, but they were denied the opportunity to be declared a tie.

Before the 'Vanderpump Rules' star's arrival, the islanders received a text saying, "Islanders, It's time to really get to know your other half, because tonight you will all compete in a high stakes game of 'Mr & Mrs.'" The competitors were asked to learn more about their partners before the game in order to go through it efficiently. Questions regarding their partner's body count and other intimate details were asked of the contestants.
