There’s a decent theory Love Island Games production team ‘switched cast up for the plot’

With Sydney’s bombshell arrival on Love Island Games season two being teased, all eyes are on her ex, Isaiah Campbell. They had a pretty messy split, having continued their relationship for over a year once their season ended, but people think it’s production setting them up.

One person wrote the theory on a Reddit thread: “My guess is that it was SUPPOSED to be Nicola & Isaiah going home but bc Sydney is coming in, the producers switched stuff up bts to keep Isaiah there for the PLOT.” And it does make sense!

Another person agreed and said: “Lol there is ZERO CHANCE they had enough votes to stay.” So regardless of the US public now having the ability to vote, it looks like rumours say they didn’t have a chance of getting who they wanted to stay in the villa.

The theory came up because Solene and Mert were sent home, even though they appeared to have had loads of support online. However, because Sydney is not only Isaiah’s ex, and a bombshell, they wanted to shake things up to see two exes have a shocking reunion.

Everyone’s basically mad that only the US have the opportunity to vote for their favourite couple, especially as people from the entire global Love Island franchise are appearing on the season two cast of Love Island Games.

One person said: “I actually am annoyed with the voting for the games, it’s an international cast like it shouldn’t just be USA voting…” Another wrote: “I’m from the US and they don’t vote right. It’s a new wave of fans in the US and they don’t really get the concept.”
