'Love Island': Fans are convinced Tre is playing Justine to stay on show, will dump her when new girl walks in

Fans aren't buying Tre's sudden interest in Justine and think he is using her to stay on the show

It's just been a day on 'Love Island', but that didn't keep Tre Forte from kissing three girls on the show already. Tre shocked everybody when he decided to split up Jeremiah White and Cely Vazquez to couple up with her. While being coupled up with Cely, Tre's wandering eyes landed on Kaitlynn Anderson who he eventually ended up kissing. Unfortunately for Tre, new boy Johnny ended up stealing Cely from him, leaving him all alone in the villa.

While Tre was busy licking his wounds after Cely coupled up with Johnny, Justine Ndiba was having a tragic moment of her own. Initially, when Justine showed interest in Jeremiah, he shot her down for Cely. Later, when Tre picked Cely to couple up with, he had no option but to couple up with Justine. However, Jeremiah had zero interest in Justine, and saw her as nothing more than a friend, while Justine tried her best to woo him.

Soon, when new single Rachel was thrown into the mix and sent on a date with Jeremiah, things started heating up between them. So, Justine was feeling a bit upset about it.

After seeing Justine feeling low, Tre pulled her aside and expressed his interest in her. He began by explaining how initially he wrote off Justine, but he has since then come to believe that it was destiny that brought them there and which made their partners pick other people leaving them both back at square one. He then suggested that they both should give it a shot to see if things can work out for them. He then proceeded to kiss her on her cheek and forehead. 

Later, after Jeremiah came clean to Justine and told her that he is interested in Rachel and wants to pursue that, she felt hurt. Cely consoled Justine and encouraged her to give Tre a shot. After her pep talk with Cely, Justine pulled Tre aside and began to tell him how Jeremiah's news hurt her. Tre tried to console her and told her that if there were a recoupling, he would pick her.

In his green room interview, Tre reveals that Kaitlynn is more like a hookup and Justine would be more of long-term relationship material. When fans saw Tre making his move on Justine and speaking so disrespectfully about Kaitlynn and her, they weren't pleased.

Many fans felt that Tre was just using Justine to stay on the show and will ditch her the minute a new girl walks in. A fan tweeted, "I feel like Tre is just going to use Justine just so he can stay, but as soon as another girl walks in hes going to leave her. He’s going to have to Square up! #LoveIslandUSA ."

Another fan wrote, "Not colorist Tre working to secure a spot for the next coupling by being ambiguous about his feelings for Justine. He's smarter than Jeremiah so there's that #LoveIslandUSA."

Fans also brought up Tre's racist tweets to prove how he isn't attracted to Justine but is just playing the game. A fan commented, "everything Tre says comes from The Colorist's Book of Romance - EVERYTHING "Kaitlynn is the hookup, Justine is the long term" - are you kidding me? this is not complimentary to EITHER of the girls #LoveIslandUSA."

Another fan expressed, "Me when I see Tre’s colorist self tryna kiss up to Justine. Like we ain’t forget about them tweets... Get ready we finna vote you out #LoveIslandUSA #LoveIsland #RNC."

'Love Island' Season 2 airs from Monday to Saturday at 9/8c on CBS.
