Easygoing, funny and genuinely sweet, Nic Vansteenberghe quickly became one of those rare men on reality TV who fans actually root for, landing him a spot in Us Weekly's Reality Stars of the Year issue. "I was surprised. I've never been honored like this before," the 24-year-old Love Island USA star tells Us, describing his reality TV journey so far as a "roller-coaster, exciting and fun."
