Fans reacted to Alima and Ryan being dumped from Love Island UK season 12 online and were upset to see them leave, especially the female cast member.

"No what the actual f*ck?! First poor ryan doesn’t even get a chance to talk to anyone and gets kicked out after a day, and then they get rid of ALIMA just as she formed a spark with ben? oh love island you really are flopping," a fan commented.
"I don't get it. Maybe Alima would've wanted to recouple with Ryan? Why wasn't she given the chance? Stupid Connor. Stood up and left Alima single when he should've walked out with Megan. Arghhh I'm fuming right now," a tweet read.
Love Island UK fans accused the show of racism as the reason for Alima's elimination.
"So you didn’t give Alima any screen time, didn’t give her anyone that likes black women and now have dumped her out of the villa and replaced her with another dark skin girl. Why is no one understanding that #LoveislandUK is sooo against black women. This was my final straw!" a person wrote.
"Right, and a top one at that. Alima wasn’t even in the bottom at the last vote. It’s definitely racism because producers would not have done this to a popular white islander," a fan commented.
"Wait what!!? Alima is DUMPED!!! How and why!? Even YasGPT has finally had emotions & cried cos it’s unfair!! The producers are protecting Helena cos they knew Ben would stand for Alima…ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! And I’ll even go as far as to call it racist idc," a tweet read.

Alima and Ryan say goodbye to the cast of Love Island UK season 12 in episode 24
In Love Island UK season 12 episode 24, Den and Tommy received a text, urging the islanders to gather at the firepit where bombshells Billykiss and Ryan had to stand in front of the firepit.
Another text asked the rest of the islanders if anybody wanted to couple up with the female bombshell. Since Conor stepped forward, his partner Alima was left vulnerable and at risk of being eliminated.
The Love Island UK season 12 female islanders were also asked the same question and given a chance to couple up with Ryan. However, nobody wanted to swap.
Since Ryan and Alima were left without partners, they were both eliminated from the ITV reality show. Ryan referred to his time on the show "short and sweet," while the female cast members got upset over Alima leaving the show.
As Ryan packed his bags, Conor explained why he swapped partners while the female islanders made Alima promise she wouldn't text Remell once she got her phone back.
Fans of Love Island UK season 12 were shocked by Alima's recoupling and wondered why the two vulnerable cast members couldn't couple up.
