PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 is making things messier with each passing episode. The new bombshells Hannah Wright and Carmen Kocourek already twisted the storyline with their appearance. The new entries were given the chance to pick up the boy of their choice, leaving two girls in the villa in a vulnerable position. 

In Episode 3's challenge, the teams were divided into two. One team was led by Hannah, while the other by Carmen. At the end of the episode, we saw Carmen's team winning the challenge. This gave her a chance to choose a partner first. Did Carmen backstab her friend by choosing the man they both liked?

It surely seemed like!l it! Victor Gonzalez was guy to catch the eye of both the bombshells. Carmen, being the winner of the first challenge, got the chance to choose the boy she liked before Hannah. Carmen was well aware that Hannah also like him and they have had an indefinite number of conversations about Victor ever since they walked into the villa. But she didn't leave him for her friend. As Carmen got to pick first, she chose Victor for himself. Hannah was a bit disappointed by the answer as she herself was looking forward to choosing him. 

As Carmen stole her friend Hanaah's choice, one viewer tweeted, "Hannah and Carmen wanted Victor didn't they." Another wrote, "Victor is kissing everyone I’m confused." One fan speculated, "Hannah and Carmen are about to beef now."
