PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 introduced two new bombshells in Episode 14, Emani Ayan and Marvelous Mike. The episode ended with Anna Kurdys self-eliminating, leaving Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen with no pairing. In order to fill the gap, two new islanders came in to once again shuffle the storyline and the couples' status.
Episode 14 ended on a cliffhanger, making fans wonder who will the new bombshells go on a date with. The pairing up of new bombshells is given into the hands of the fans. Peacock uploads the picture of the new bombshells, saying, "Who should our two new Bombshells go on a date with? Head to the #LoveIslandUSA app to VOTE." As we wait for one of the islanders to go on a date with new bombshells, let us take a look at who the new girl Imani is.
Who is Imani Ayan?
Imani Ayan is a 22-year-old Sacramento, California native. She is into beauty and lifestyle. Imani is also a traveler who loves hopping on beaches and different places. In 2020, she decided to follow her dreams and change her passion into a career. Indeed, Imani "left everything" that gave her comfort and turned her passion for lashing into a full-time business. She launched a brand named Graced by Mani. Imani was preparing for medical school, however, it's not revealed from his social media existence whether she got into one or not.
Imani Ayan is Miss California contestant
Imani knows best how to embrace her beauty. She participated in Miss California and even became the Top 10 contestant. Participating for Miss Sacramento, Imani wrote in one of her posts, "For years I’ve volunteered throughout my community by performing at convalescent homes, within food drives, my schools first ever Black Student Union, as a youth volunteer junior coach, toy giveaways, and hands on within my community before even knowing about the @missamerica organization ... all for the love of service." She later got scholarship, awarded with $3,600 to pay for school and $250+ for winning Tony Moises top interview. She called her participation to be "first ever competition." She then described her hardship, "I’m eager to represent us all on stage as Miss Sacramento County @misssaccounty and with God’s grace possibly your MISS CALIFORNIA! I took the train everyday throughout the competition with no experience in the “pageant” world but the means to change my community and speak my truth."
Who will Imani Ayan go on a date with?
It is up to the viewers to choose who they want Imani to go on a date with. Seeing that Bergie is left with no partner in the show, it is speculated that Imani might end up pairing with him. But, will that be a pity pairing?
Seeing fans vote for Imani pairing up with Bergie made a fan tweet, "i need y’all to be fr. imani wouldn’t even look in bergie direction tbvfh. stop wasting votes." Another claimed, "Y’all better NAHT set Imani up on a pity date with bergie." A fan believes, "yall i actually like kassy and leo!! but none of the guys deserve imani." Another believe if Imani ends up pairing with Bergie it will be a "sympathy move," saying "Pls don’t send bergie on a date with imani….not doing the sympathy he should be gone tbh." "Poor bergie is never going to get picked. I know the new girl Imani is not going for him. He might as well pack his bags and go home," tweeted a fan.
