Love Island USA’s Charlie Georgiou Knows He Was Robbed

by

On Love Island USA, recoupling ceremonies can really tug at your heartstrings, and last Sunday’s dumping was no exception – it was downright heart-wrenching! Just moments after Charlie Georgiou and Hannah Fields confirmed their bond during a chat, fate took a cruel twist. First, America chose Fields to pair up with the newcomer Pepe Garcia, then the final blow came when Cierra Ortega, Chelley Bissainthe, and Amaya Espinal voted to send Georgiou packing for good. As a devoted fan, it’s hard not to feel the emotions these Islanders experience!

Georgiou, who was known as “the mysterious British man” in the villa, faced challenges from the beginning: He made an early impression but struggled to sustain interest. When he caught feelings for Fields, they seemed to be one of the most promising couples of the season, appearing more reasonable than Jeremiah and Huda, and more open with their communication compared to Ace and Bissainthe. However, America couldn’t help but notice Fields’ connection with Garcia, a situation that was already difficult without the betrayal from Georgiou’s fellow Islanders. During our recent Zoom chat, Georgiou hadn’t yet been given access to his phone or watched the entire season. “I’ve seen snippets,” he shared, “but honestly, I don’t really want to watch it right now. It’s tough to see her moving forward with someone else. It’s not a pleasant feeling. I don’t think anyone would enjoy watching someone they had feelings for continue with someone else.

1. How are you currently experiencing the situation?
I’ve been feeling quite down and disappointed about everything that has transpired. It’s been an emotional roller coaster, dealing with the acceptance of what’s happened. Sometimes I find myself okay with it and accepting things as they are, but other times I feel like I was cheated, wanting another chance to be back in there.

2. Did you find it particularly challenging knowing that the outcome wasn’t a choice?
It was tough because finally, she chose me in that moment, but I couldn’t go beyond that, and we wouldn’t get to show the world our journey and what could have been. I believe we were truly deprived of an opportunity. I felt cheated.

3. Were you a fan of Love Island before joining the show?
Years ago, I watched some of the early Love Island U.K., as my mom and brother were fond of it. However, the U.S. version – let me tell you how I ended up applying! Last year, I had a holiday romance with an American girl. She kept telling me about season six, saying “Have you heard about Love Island USA? It’s really popular.” I watched bits of it.

After our romance ended and she returned to America, I felt utterly distraught – I yearned to be there and was a little heartbroken. I pondered, “Why don’t I try auditioning for Love Island USA season seven? Let’s give it a shot. Who knows what might transpire?” Amazingly, my application was accepted, and I even entered as one of the first surprise contestants. That’s how I ended up on Love Island, and it’s amazing to think that if I hadn’t met her, I wouldn’t be here having this conversation with you now.

1. Regarding Belle-A’s statement, Belle-A mentioned that she watched season six with her ex and applied afterwards, after they had broken up. It seems there’s a trend of heartbroken individuals applying for Love Island. [Laughs]

2. For the question about sharing a villa with Americans: The experience was wild. Everyone seemed like movie characters to me, and I’m sure I was the same to them. They’d say things that would crack me up, while I’d try to be normal, like asking for a water bottle. However, there were times when it was challenging to relate due to differences in upbringing and experiences. But overall, I’m grateful and blessed to have been this British guy amidst Love Island USA.

3. For the question about differences between people here and in the UK: I noticed that people from the UK generally have more sexual partners. Apart from speech differences and subtle humor variations, it’s not significantly different. The flirting style might be a bit different too; there’s no filter, and I appreciate that openness in Americans.

4. For the big recoupling ceremony question: Regarding Austin’s vote, I don’t hold it against him. He voted for who he believed had the weakest connection, as is expected in such a situation. However, Amaya’s and Cierra’s votes were disappointing to me. Cierra knew I was struggling to find a connection initially, but when I did, she supported me through it. So for her to vote against me was sad.

In a more relaxed and conversational style,

Amaya’s time there wasn’t great. She cried on me and Hannah when she was upset. We did our best to comfort her. I had a soft spot for her and always checked on her. When we talked, it wasn’t because I truly wanted to; it was out of confusion and hurt. She understood this, and she told Hannah about it. Hannah was her closest friend there, which leaves me puzzled. I can only attribute it to impulsivity and perhaps not fully grasping our recent conversation. They didn’t know the details. All they saw was instability. The timing couldn’t have been worse.

As for your question about the other Islanders voting, if Hannah had been among them, she might have saved me. If it had been a girls’ coupling up that night, I thought she would pick me due to our recent conversation. It’s pointless to dwell on what-ifs because it can consume you. I wouldn’t rule out going back in there again, but they made their decision.

I didn’t expect or hope Hannah would leave with me. Firstly, the experience is precious, and I didn’t want her to miss out. Secondly, we were on the brink of something special. Given more time after our conversation, our feelings could have intensified. Unfortunately, they cut us off prematurely.

If I had a vote to eliminate one of the new singles – Huda or Taylor – I’d probably choose Taylor, as I wasn’t sure about Taylor and Olandria’s connection. However, Huda and Jeremiah had been together longer, so I believed our relationship was stronger. No one else compared to Hannah and me in there.

I understand why they paired Jalen and Olandria – both are from the South, country, possibly sharing similar values and traditions. The pairing of Pepe and Hannah left me puzzled. It seemed like they were stirring up the game.

Yes, I formed friendships with many Islanders, particularly the boys – Jeremiah, Austin, Nic, and most of the guys. With the girls, it was more about friendship in light of my situation with Hannah. Chelley and I started off trying to create moments, but she eventually spoke to me about handling the situation with Hannah. It’s a tricky situation because, honestly, Hannah was the only person in the villa that I was genuinely interested in exploring a connection with.

What lessons might this experience hold for me? Well, perhaps I’d simply enjoy dating in the ordinary world. [Laughs] Perhaps I’m content with just going on a date with someone, parting ways, and not knowing who they might be sharing a room with to kiss.
