'Love Island USA' Season 6: Why Robert 'Rob' Rausch is threatening to quit show
MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: Robert "Rob" Rausch returned to 'Love Island USA' hoping to find love on the reality TV show. However, this time, he appeared to want to quit the program on his own initiative after losing his blossoming connection with Andrea Carmona.
During episode 12's double elimination, the girls were given the power to vote out one girl among JaNa Craig, Nicole Jacky, and Andrea. A unanimous decision sent Andrea home, which didn't sit right with Rob.
As soon as her name was announced, he proceeded to leave, even though all the guys tried to make him stay. He proceeded to lash out at the girls for sending his partner home.
As the girls try to defend their decision as to why JaNa whose partner Hakeem White was also eliminated during the June 23 episode, shouldn't be going home, Rob tells them it is not Andrea's fault if JaNa was given the short end of the stick.
As the two groups yell at each other, Rob, who was previously saved by his teammates, goes to console Andrea, who blames the girls for ruining her connection with him. The connection she always wanted but never had.
When host Ariana Madix asks Rob what he is planning to do, he tells her that he's going to leave as well. Ariana tells him that although she can't make the decision for him, she feels he shouldn't leave just because Andrea is.

What does Robert 'Rob' Rausch from Love Island USA do?
Rob, who grew up in Florence, Alabama, still resides there. He grew up on a farm with three siblings and has always been fascinated by nature.
His Instagram feed reflects his love of snakes and wildlife, which he shares with his massive 162K followers. Rob has one of the most interesting and attention-grabbing careers of any 'Love Island USA' competitor.
The reptile specialist frequently accomplishes things that others would be frightened to undertake. He catches snakes and relocates them to regions where they are more likely to survive.
Despite his experience, he claims to have been bitten by the animals several times, including one that was poisonous. Fortunately, none of these have been deadly.
His fascination with snakes began at an early age, and he believes they are largely misunderstood. Rob will now confront a fresh task when he enters the villa, dealing with several sorts of snakes.
