Everyone watching Season 8 of Love Island USA has been weighing in on their favorite couples, as America was called to vote once again. And that includes those who have vacated Villa, like this summer's first dumped Islander Sean Reifel, who has revealed who he's rooting for now that's he left Fiji.
After Episode 13 concluded with a message encouraging fans to vote for their favorite couple, Peacock Blog was eager to learn how Sean felt about the Islander romance now that he's left the competition. When he became the first single and vulnerable Islander, Sean was the first to be sent packing. But that doesn't mean he hasn't done his best to stay caught up on all of the action unfolding in the Villa. Taking home some new friendships from Fiji, you better believe Sean has some thoughts on who he'd like to see become Season 8's winning couple.
"KC and Aniya," Sean revealed after being asked who he'd vote for in the Love Island USA app. It didn't take the Season 8 Islander much thought, even with all of the recent setbacks KC Chandler and Aniya Harvey have successfully navigated. Sean admits that Zach and Kayda are a "very close second," followed by Bryce and Trinity, but he can't help but root for Aniya and KC.

When asked if he could turn back time and couple up with a different Islander, Sean revealed that he'd couple up with Aniya due to her refreshing energy and charm. But now that he's left the Villa, Sean is cheerleading Aniya's connection with KC, a ride-or-die couple who have stuck together since Day 1.
"Me and Aniya, when we talked, we had a lot of common ground. We both liked anime. We both were very much into fitness, and when she talks, she just has this energy about her," Sean told Peacock Blog, adding that Aniya has a "very comforting" energy. "But at the same time, she also is very joyful and will, during the conversation, get loud and kind of like scream-talk to you because she's excited about something, or we found a mutual thing we have in common."
Sean added, "She just has this beauty to her, too, a glow to her. And I can't explain it, but just when we had those conversations, I really enjoyed them."

Alas, Sean and Aniya didn't end up striking up much of a romantic connection as sparks flew between KC and Aniya, with Sean admitting he could have been more aggressive in his pursuit. But with KC as one of his strongest friends in the Villa, Sean is more than happy to applaud KC and Aniya on becoming one of Season 8's strongest couples.
"I love KC too, that's my brother," Sean said. "So I'm very, very happy for what they have going on. They're like one of my power couples I'm rooting for to the end."

While Sean is back in the states and happily reunited with his 2-year-old son, he has a sweet message for Aniya as she takes the next steps with KC in the Villa.
"If I could send her a message, it would just be to keep wearing the s--- out of them dresses, and I'm rooting for you and KC. You guys look amazing," Sean said, adding that Aniya's heartfelt letter to KC in Episode 13 only cemented their swoon-worthy connection. "[KC] stopped multiple times and choked up on it. I love to see that love there, and that you guys are still going strong."
