Carson Campbell didn’t feel any remorse for his vote, and was even relishing in the chaos it might cause one of Love Island USA’s most contentious cast members of the season.
“I love mess and I love reality TV,” the 24-year-old student and content creator says.
“I love something with an end goal, when people are working toward a purpose.”As a Love Island USA superfan who live-tweets and recaps every episode on TikTok, Campbell feels personally invested in how the reality dating show unfolds.
Its format relies on votes from viewers, via the Love Island app, to help determine how the show progresses (you vote on favorite cast members, who pairs off on dates, and more).
Fans have even tracked down Noah Sheline, her ex-boyfriend and father of her 4-year-old daughter, to express their disapproval for Mustafa.
