LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rob Rausch and Leah Kateb began their journey on Love Island USA' Season 6 as one of the most adored couples, loved by fans for their chemistry and genuine connection. However, their relationship took a dramatic turn, leading to a significant shift in public opinion. The first major incident that sparked controversy was Rob’s secret kiss with new bombshell Andrea Carmona.

When Leah found out, she felt deeply betrayed, leading to a heated confrontation where she accused Rob of lying and manipulating her emotions. Following this, Rob had a dramatic emotional breakdown, which Leah criticized as overly theatrical and calculated.

The situation worsened when Rob chose to couple up with Andrea, further infuriating Leah, who accused him of sabotaging her and labeled him the "thirstiest man alive" for constantly chasing after new bombshells. Fans, who once rooted for Rob and Leah, started to grow tired of their constant drama, with viewers now demanding their exit from the show, expressing frustration over their toxic interactions and the negative energy they bring to the villa. 

Viewers of the show are taking it to social media to express their anger. "Leah and Rob need to exit the villa. Like they need to GO," a fan wrote. Another hoped for Leah's exit from the show, "Leah is a wacko biznatch. He made the right choice. Totally hot man goes over to her to say he's interested. She just griped about Rob. She's the toxic chick everyone hides from. She needs to go home. She's a bunny boiler weirdo. She can take Liv with her."

"Rob & Leah are without a doubt the most toxic people in the villa. Leah, shut up. Leah is not a victim," said one.
