Temptation Island fans rooting for Marisela to end things with Chris

With every season of Temptation Island, it's not uncommon for fans to find couples that they rally behind and hope make it over the course of this social experiment. However, as it pertains to Temptation Island season 5, it seems as if viewers are championing for a few castmates to break up with their partners. 

We already mentioned that Vanessa Valente rubbed viewers the wrong way in the season premiere, with many of them advocating for Roberto Maldonado to find love with someone else. Unfortunately with each episode that goes by, that's a trend that continues to pick up steam. 

However, their unpopular romance seems to rival that of Marisela Figueroa and Chris Wells. The Temptation Island audience started to dislike the pair as a couple in the season 5 premiere. As Chris was engaged in a conversation with some of the island's single women, he dropped the bombshell that Marisela had an attraction to other women. 

What makes the revelation problematic is that Marisela felt her partner had overshared her personal business with strangers, and her own family wasn't quite aware of her sexual fluidity. To add insult to injury, knowing that his talking about her sexuality on camera was uncomfortable for Marisela, he repeated the information further. Viewers have been simply livid with Chris ever since, feeling he betrayed his girlfriend of two years. 

Beyond this "betrayal," it seems like show fans are also in support of Marisela and Chris splitting due to their individual responses to the Temptation Island process. Chris has taken to the process and enjoyed getting to know the single women on his side of the island, Marisela has been a little more reserved in exploring connections with other men. In fact, at the men's bonfire in episode 3, which aired on June 28, Chris was shown a video of Marisela tearfully expressing her appreciation for having some alone time. Naturally, viewers applauded Marisela for her emotional rawness and for valuing alone time. 

While we can't predict the future, we have a feeling that as the season 5 episodes continue air, fans will continue to stand firm in their position that the couple should break up.
