Now they reckon the Irishman has his sights set on fame and fortune instead.
One took to Reddit to muse: "Why didn't Connor leave with Meghan if he said no one coming in would be better suited to him?"
A second put: "You'd miss out on the rest of your experience and potentially lose future deals. It wouldn't be smart at all."
A third then bluntly commented: "Influencers island is why."

A fourth put: "LI is a career move first and foremost."
Another argued: "Its a free holiday, fame and possible high money opportunities especially the longer your in the villa.
"He should've went if thats how he genuinely felt but he wasn't deeply into her."

Yet others stuck up for Conor, who was a late arrival to proceedings in the Mallorca compound.
They wrote: "No one on this show is going to leave for someone they were with for 48 hours. Pls. It's not that complicated."
A second put: "In the real world if someone did that, most people would consider them unhinged. It's weird that it's become the expectation."

What to watch on TV and streaming today: 1923, The Damned United and Young Sheldon
1923 RTÉ One, 9.35pm It's Montana, but not as we know it There's just no stopping the Yellowstone universe. Despite the fact that some observers claim the western genre is dead, the show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, has milked it for all it's worth — and is continuing to do so. As well as the original, present day-set series, which starred Kevin Costner as John Dutton III, the patriarch of a cattle ranch-owning family in Montana, Sheridan has devised two forthcoming sequels — The Madison and Y-Marshals — as well as two prequels. The first of those was 1883, and now the second, which premiered on Paramount+ three years ago, is about to make its RTÉ debut. Thirty-six years after making The Mosquito Coast together, it reunited Harrison Ford with Helen Mirren. Once again they play a married couple in a tale that takes us back to an earlier generation of the Dutton family. We follow Jacob (Ford) and his Irish wife Cara (Mirren) as they navigate their way through the early 20th century, encountering many of the same problems as those who come after them, including pandemics and drought, as well as Prohibition and the Great Depression. 'It's great at this point in my career, and this point in my life — which is, you know, towards the latter end of it, without a doubt — to find and to be offered great roles like Cara Dutton,' says Oscar-winning star Mirren. The wonderful news is that a second series has already been made; fingers crossed it won't be long before it's heading our way. 24 Hours in A&E Channel 4, 9pm Three mothers discuss their incredible stories. The first reveals how she beat cervical cancer at the age of 19, the second describes the grief she felt after her son's death, and the third explains the challenges and rewards involved in raising a child in need of extra care. Better Call Saul TG4, 10.30pm The fourth run of the Breaking Bad spin-off only ended last week, but the fifth is here already. The 10-part series begins with Jimmy now fully embracing his Saul Goodman persona. He also launches a new business strategy that annoys Kim, while Lalo hunts down the mysterious Michael. To Catch a Stalker BBC One, 11.40pm & 12.30am Zara McDermott's two-part documentary examines the disturbing rise in the number of reported stalking cases. She meets four women currently living in fear, as well as the police officers struggling to bring the perpetrators to justice. The Damned United BBC Two, 12am In 2006, acclaimed author David Peace published a largely fictionalised account of Brian Clough's disastrous 44-day spell in charge of English football giants Leeds United; three years later, it was adapted for the big screen. Michael Sheen is brilliant as Clough, with Colm Meaney rather uncanny as his rival, Don Revie. Timothy Spall also stars. Young Sheldon Netflix, streaming now Bear with me; both Disney+ and Netflix have had six seasons of Young Sheldon for years. Now, after an excruciating wait, Netflix has got its mittens on season seven. If you're rolling your eyes thinking, 'Hasn't that Big Bang offshoot been around forever?' Yes, it has, but it's far (far) superior to its predecessor. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Season 2 Reunion Special Disney+, streaming now How's that for a title? Following season two's dramatic finale, host Nick Viall brings #MomTok and #DadTok back together for revelations, unseen clips, and a surprise twist. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel Netflix, streaming now I don't know about you, but I'm not sure where I'd be without our Tuesday Trainwreck installment. The American Apparel brand soared in the early Noughties with salacious ads and ethical wear, but behind the scenes, chaotic leadership and misconduct allegations sent the brand into a downward spiral. For more stark viewing, Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers also arrives today. Shark Whisperer Netflix, streaming now Whether you deem her a social media opportunist or a 'changemaking' conservationist, you can't quibble with the (literal) name Ocean Ramsay has made for herself. Melding striking visuals with a close character study, the film dissects the ethical and ecological dilemmas at the heart of environmental activism. Perspectives from scientists, indigenous voices, and conservationists — on all sides — reveal the complexity of Ramsay and the issues she raises. Squid Game Netflix, streaming now Brace yourselves… In the wildly anticipated third and final season of Squid Game, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae, aka player 456) returns. Haunted by incremental loss, he's determined to end the deadly competition once and for all. His clash with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) escalates into a (surprise, surprise) grave battle of strategy and morality, as new games and old enemies collide. With the expected level of twists — including a baby being added to the mix and the viral Gachapon craze (plastic vending balls to you) putting in a pivotal appearance — the stakes are high. As surviving players face progressively brutal choices, the line between justice and tainted vengeance increasingly blurs. Can humanity survive the harshest reality? As the world awaits the final answer, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises a powerful conclusion to the global phenomenon. I think we'll be the collective judges of that. The Charles Ponzi Story AppleTV+, streaming now We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what do you know of their namesake? He was a broke immigrant based in 1920s Boston, who rocketed to wealth and infamy in mere months by orchestrating what would become known as the infamous scheme, one of history's boldest financial frauds. For more stories inspired by true events, try Smoke starring Taron Egerton, John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear.
