Kenzie Annis went to nursing school, and she would really like everyone on Love Island USA to know it. The trouble is that her credentials showed up in the worst possible moment: a basic disagreement about eyesight that she got spectacularly, confidently wrong on national television.<\/p>\n

It started during a flirty Soul Ties chat on Tuesday\u2019s episode with Caleb McDaniel, the 21-year-old elevator installer Kenzie spent much of the season torn between. After noticing his freckles, she asked whether he had “really good vision.” Caleb said he did, explaining that he has 20\/13 eyesight.<\/p>\n

“20\/13 isn’t that good,” Kenzie replied. “20\/20 is the normal.”<\/p>\n

When Caleb explained that a lower second number actually means better vision \u2014 adding that he’d even been told he has “fighter-pilot vision” \u2014 Kenzie wasn’t convinced.<\/p>\n

“No it’s not. I was in nursing school, bro,” the 24-year-old nursing grad said before explaining that her 20\/30 vision means she can see at 30 feet what other people see at 20.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Kenzie, that’s not how any of this works.<\/p>\n

According to Cleveland Clinic<\/a>, 20\/20 vision refers to normal visual acuity, not perfect eyesight. Someone with 20\/13 vision can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision would need to be 13 feet away to see, making it better than average. Meanwhile, 20\/30 vision means a person sees at 20 feet what someone with normal vision can see from 30 feet away.<\/p>\n

In other words, Caleb was right.<\/p>\n

Over on Reddit<\/a>, fans described the exchange as one of the funniest moments of the episode, with one person calling Kenzie “so confidently loud and wrong.” Another said they felt bad for Caleb, arguing that he clearly knew he was correct but “didn’t wanna argue and make her mad.”<\/p>\n

Others couldn’t get over the fact that Kenzie repeatedly cited nursing school while making her case. “Like how does being a nurse make you an optometrist?” one viewer joked, while another wrote that they “immediately had to fact check” the conversation after hearing it.<\/p>\n

What really sent viewers over the edge, though, was what happened next.<\/p>\n

Later in the episode, Kenzie found herself in another debate, this time correcting Corbin Mims over whether rain qualifies as white noise. The back-to-back moments left some fans convinced that editors knew exactly what they were doing. <\/p>\n

“The editors definitely decided to feature both of those details for a reason,” one viewer wrote. “They were having a little fun with that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kenzie Annis went to nursing school, and she would really like everyone on Love Island USA to know…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":["post-504940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
