Love Island USA: Belle-A Walker’s Final Words To Nic Proved He Was Never Good Enough For Her

Love Island USA season 7 star Belle-A Walker’s fleeting romance with Nic Vansteenberghe wasn’t strong enough to keep her safe from elimination, but her classy response proved she’s better off without him. At 22, Belle-A was one of the youngest contestants on season 7, and she carried herself with an innocence that was both intriguing and detrimental. The Hawaii-based model turned heads immediately with her stunning good looks, and her warm personality made the other women take an instant liking to her.

Belle-A’s Love Island USA journey was complicated by her tenuous relationship with Nic. Although the two became a couple early on, their connection felt weak. Nic and Bella never had great chemistry, which made Nic vulnerable to the arrival of bombshell Cierra Ortega. As the first recoupling of the season ended in Belle-A being sent home, her self-esteem and dignity remained intact as she showed Nic what he was missing.

Belle-A Arrived On Love Island USA With A Strong Moral Compass

She Kept Her Standards High

From day one, Belle-A stood out among the Islanders for her conservative approach to dating. She refused casual kisses on the lips, instead offering her cheek during the first challenge. Belle-A cited her Christian faith, and she wore her morality proudly as a “high value person.” While Nic respected her boundaries, it soon became evident that he was seeking more than she would give him.

As the competition wore on, Belle-A started to loosen up. During a baseball challenge, she shocked her Love Island USA castmates by going all-in and making out with four of the men, leading up to her first passionate kiss with Nic. Belle-A showed that she was willing to play the game, but her integrity left a lasting impression. However, Belle-A’s change of heart also awakened fears that she was lowering her standards for Nic, particularly as the competition intensified with the arrivals of the first bombshells.

Nic Was Constantly Flip-Flopping Between Belle-A & Cierra

He Was Focused On Playing The Game

Nic and Belle-A’s relationship was tested as soon as Cierra arrived. Cierra swept in for a steamy kiss with a blindfolded Nic, in stark contrast to Belle-A’s hard-to-get act. With his curiosity awakened, Nic left Belle-A behind to spend the night with Cierra in the Hideaway.

Nic was honest with the other men about his complex feelings for both Belle-A and Cierra. He was initially 50/50 about his feelings for the two women, but Cierra’s seduction soon put her in the lead. However, his first makeout session with Belle-A put her back in the running, with Nic telling a hopeful Belle-A that she and Cierra were once again 50/50.

While Nic was leaning into his Love Island USA strategy, he seemed to be treating the women like pawns instead of potential love interests. He led both Belle-A and Cierra on, giving each a false sense of security. Nic’s ability to go back and forth between Belle-A and Love Island USA’s Cierra Ortega without considering their feelings was the first sign that he was a heartbreaker who was unworthy of Belle-A’s love.

Belle-A Had A Scathing Response After Nic Chose Cierra

She Refused To Shoulder The Blame For His Decision

The first recoupling of Love Island USA season 7 ended with Nic being forced to choose between Belle-A and Cierra. His speech had a promising start, and as he spoke about the unnamed woman who had his heart, Belle-A remained optimistic. However, once Nic mentioned a kiss in the photo booth, Belle-A’s face fell as she realized she wasn’t his choice.

When Nic pulled Belle-A aside to explain himself, he bemoaned the way things had turned out, saying he “really didn’t want it like this.”

In the face of elimination, Belle-A remained composed. While she admitted she has a habit of putting the wrong people first, Belle-A proclaimed, “I know my heart is the prettiest thing about me.” When Nic pulled Belle-A aside to explain himself, he bemoaned the way things had turned out, saying he “really didn’t want it like this.” But Belle-A wasted no time throwing the blame right back where it belonged, telling Nic, “You made it like this.”

Our Take On Belle-A’s Elimination

She May Have Avoided Heartbreak

Belle-A’s departure is a huge loss for Love Island USA. It’s a cold reminder of how often nice girls finish last. However, it’s possible that Belle-A’s elimination is for the best. She likely would have remained with Nic, who proved himself unworthy of a strong woman with fierce values. Leaving the villa allowed Belle-A to reflect on her self-worth and, hopefully, break the pattern of giving her heart to men who don’t deserve it.

Belle-A’s cutting words to Nic reclaimed her power even in a moment of defeat. Her strength is already making an impact among viewers, with many pleading for her Love Island USA return. Nic became season 7’s newest villain when he chose Cierra over Belle-A, proving to Belle-A that she deserves so much better.
