Following all the backlash she got for choosing multiple men on the show, the last two episodes seem to be different.<\/p>\n<p>According to a source claiming to be close to production, Mina Sue threatened to leave the island completely. The source alleged she &#8220;freaked out and demanded to be able to call her agent, threatening to leave the island. Her agent then intervened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They added: &#8220;Her agent pressured the production team to ensure the last episodes avoided this conflict and portrayed Mina Sue positively. She was then advised \u2014 by both her agent and the Single\u2019s Inferno production team \u2014 to choose Samuel Lee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SinglesInferno\/comments\/1r3g0d0\/did_they_edit_the_last_2_episodes_to_protect_mina\/\">Did they edit the last 2 episodes to protect Mina Sue from the backlash?<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/dogtriestocatchfly\/\">u\/dogtriestocatchfly<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SinglesInferno\/\">SinglesInferno<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a strategic move to show a different side of her character and repair her image.
