'Love Island USA' fans speculate Kendall Washington's elimination amid love triangle with Hannah Smith and Hakeem White
MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: In the latest episode of 'Love Island USA' Season 6, viewers were introduced to two attractive new arrivals. Connor Newsum, a 28-year-old PR Specialist hailing from Spokane, Washington, and Hakeem White, a 29-year-old online fitness and business coach originally from Kingston, Jamaica.
Both men brought their own unique charm and charisma to the villa, setting the stage for potential romantic entanglements and drama in the episode. The atmosphere within the villa underwent a significant shift following the arrival of the two new male contestants.
Hannah Smith and Kendall Washington's idyllic paradise was thrown into turmoil with the introduction of Hakeem to the mix. In a candid confessional, Hannah admitted that Hakeem possessed qualities that she found attractive and would typically be drawn to, yet she reiterated that Kendall remained her top priority.
However, there was a noticeable bond forming between Connor and Kaylor Martin. As a result, speculation is rampant among fans regarding who may be at risk of elimination during the upcoming recoupling, with many predicting that Kendall could be the one in danger.
A Reddit user shared, "Okay I’m assuming bombshells will get to pick first. Hakeem takes Hannah and Connor takes Kaylor. Then it’s girls choice. Jana - 6’8” Leah - Rob Liv - Aaron Serena is the wildcard but as of right now id assume she’d stick with Kordell even though she’s not interested. Kendall leaves. This is my prediction."
Another user echoed the same sentiments and shared, "I like this scenario. i want Kendall and Hakeem gone so this is halfway there, and i just need Kordell to stick around long enough for them to send in a 21 year old who doesn’t care he’s a dummy. then we can free my sister Serena."
A third user commented, "They usually let bombshells pick once so they don’t get immediately eliminated, so Hakeem is safe for NOW. But if the evil that is Kendall is defeated I’ll take it."
One comment read, "They usually make sure bombshells survive one elimination."
Followed by a user who penned, "Why is he evil? I thought he was fine so far, but I think he hasn't really stood out and that's why he won't get picked."
