He really likes the sound of his own voice. “The whole problem” Victor is you don’t listen. Stop talking & let someone else talk once in a while.

@The_Soulful_Ginger_94 10 ай бұрын

He’s a narcissist and was the toxic ring leader of the boys in the villa. Doesn’t own up to anything. He’s got to be one of my most disliked islanders of all time. “You’re not one of us.” Jokes on him bc the producers clearly favored Bergie and I wonder if they had some influence over the vote as to not promote his bullying nature.

Was i mad at Victor when i saw him on the show? Yes, but it’s all edited sooooo hard. There’s no need to continue hating on him when you don’t actually know him. If you haven’t watched Caro’s video (LI Season 1 contestant) you should because she sheds some light on the negative effects of reality tv.

@The_Soulful_Ginger_94 10 ай бұрын

Sure, but you can’t edit body language nor did producers change in any way the words that actually came out of his mouth during the Carmen debacle. “We’d all die for each other. You’re not one of us.” Watching that scene brought me back to my days of being bullied in high school. The way he loomed over Bergie and rounded up the rest of the boys to make Bergie feel inferior was F’d up. He can say it was to have more eyes and ears or talk in circles all day but victims of bullying know the real deal. Both his & Bergies body language said it all for me. Mans ego is bigger than his hair. He was a ring leader and brought toxicity to the villa. He comes off initially charming, friendly & mysterious but what grandiose narcissist isn’t? 😐

@summerkid2503 9 ай бұрын

Carmen really escalated that situation between bergie and victor. While victor reacted explosively, Bergie wasnt doing himself any favors by staying silent and hiding behind the favor of all the girls. I like iceberg but bro needs to pull his britches up and show how independent he can be.

On top of everything I also dont like how he was comparing himself to bergie. like even if carmen was into bergie and victor and then decided to end with one and go for the other its not a competition its about founding who's your match so just because you aren't her match doesn't mean the person who shell end up matching with is better than you.he shouldn't have had to bash bergie in order to say how he feels. his ego is fragile

@jessicagaleano2324 11 ай бұрын

@The_Soulful_Ginger_94 10 ай бұрын

His ego is bigger than his hair! Mans is mad insecure. His pride was bruised by Carmen & Bergie and rather than being the bigger person or handling the situation like a mature, secure MAN, he intentionally undermined & ostracized the least socially experienced/non confrontational person in the villa bc he considered him an easy target. IMO he thought he and the rest of the boys could bully Bergie into going home/taking a step back from Carmen. So glad she gave him the reality check he so desperately deserved. It’s not miscommunication or cultural differences - it’s narcissism.

I don't for a second believe that there is mistranslation because English is his first language. He knows what and how he says things. But even if we assume that to be true, Victor was always so quick to get angry and yell, that it was concerning. I really don't think he can brush that off so easily. He seems somewhat likeable here but I think hes trying to do his redemption tour. I do understand part of what he's saying about Bergie too, but I still view him as a bully.

right from the jump he went into victim mode and defensive. this man is toxic as hell. badddd energy up in here. he could've owned up to it. he could've said something like "I made mistakes and I shouldn't have taken out my anger on anyone I definitely could've gone about it another way. I dont want to be seen as a bully thats not my intention" just anything thats considerate and respectful and self aware. but of course not w ppl like him.

At his big age of 27 he should be able to speak calmly to communicate his thoughts. It doesn’t matter if he’s talking to a woman or another grown man. All that anger is a BIG red flag 🚩

Victor is a narcissist. He comes off initially charming, friendly and mysterious but let’s be real here… he brought toxicity & aggression to the villa. He lacks emotional intelligence, empathy & personal awareness. He served as a ring leader to the boys in the villa- undermined, patronized & ostracized the least socially experienced/non confrontational person in the villa bc he considered him to be an easy target. He had to compare himself & put down Bergie to feel better about himself. He had to organize a group gang up against Bergie to intimidate him. He specially told him, “We’d all die for each other. You’re not one of us,” and that he “wants him GONE.” He loomed over Bergie, indirectly threatened him & encouraged the other boys to shut him out as well. If that doesn’t scream controlling narcissist to you, idk what does. I was personally THRILLED when Carmen gave him the reality check he so desperately deserved- she saw right thru him- & was relieved when he was voted off by the female islanders 👏🏼 He was a poor influence over the other guys in the villa & gave toxic energy vibes all around. I hope to never see him on another season of LI ever again. Fabio has A LOT of growing to do, but I don’t believe he has the emotional awareness or capacity to do so right now 🤡

Believe actions not words. He is saying a lot, but let’s be honest while he said he wasn’t “macho man” him … u notice he hovered over Bergie and stood up while he said that right? Yes Bergie may not be as mature, but as someone who preaches maturity, like Victor, you should’ve been able to handle things differently. At the end of the day, we just want him to show some sort of empathy and introspection but it’s clear he doesn’t see any fault of his own. Let’s be real, would he speak to any other islanders like that? One of his size? That’s why some say bullying cuz if it was any other guy, the approach would’ve been different
