"Alex is exactly the #LoveIsland dream cast! He is ALLLLLLLL about Casa Amor! #Xander would be there for love, and we know how that has worked out on the island — maybe #Johnny! We absolutely know that #Gabi would Slay every outfit. But [Chanel] #Dupree would win!" one fan tweeted in response. "I don't watch 'Love Island,' but as far as characters who need a mate, I vote for EJ," another commented.

"If Gwen can't have Xander, she deserves a little fun romance. Unless she's a murderer," one fan wrote, referencing the fact that Gwen is a suspect in Abigail Deveraux's murder. "Definitely XANDER on 'LOVE ISLAND,' as much as I love Sara, Xander needs a little momentum on such a challenge as 'LOVE ISLAND.' ... I think Gabi, Xander, Kristen, & definitely LEO," another viewer commented.
