That left single father and cop Sean Reifel alone and dumped from the island. He pulled Kenzie and Trinity for chats before the ceremony. Fans aren't ready to say goodbye to him.

The Peacock show's Instagram posted pictures of the three new bombshells, Jennifer Terry, CalebMcDaniel, and SolMya. The comments are full of people complaining about Sean's exit.

"We deny this trade request, we want to keep Sean for a 3 day contract," the most-like comment reads.

"Begging yall to bring Sean back as a bombshell," Leslie Belle from Love Island USA Season 3 commented.

"PLZ bring Sean back. He was SO genuine. Give him another chance especially with the mayor situation from his area. He doesn't deserve this," another person wrote.

Sean leaving his job to enter the villa previously made headlines. Mayor J. William Reynolds said he was disappointed in him for leaving his job in less than a year to become an islander. There is currently no announcement of plans for him to return this season.
