MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 recently had its second dramatic recoupling with multiple shocking couplings, but this time with a twist: the male islanders had the opportunity to choose their potential connections. Tension soared as the girls were nervous and fearful of elimination.

However, the new couples in the Fiji villa are, Aaron Evans and Kaylor Martin, Robert Rausch and Andrea Carmona, Connor Newsum and Leah Kateb, Miguel Harichi and Olivia Walker, Hakeem White and JaNa Craig, Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky, and, Kordell Beckham and Serena Page.

Connor was expected to choose Leah, having already declared his affection for her and thus ending his previous connection with JaNa. However, after Miguel shockingly steals Olivia from Hakeem, the islander is left with no choice but to pursue his second strongest connection, JaNa.

Meanwhile, despite having second thoughts and receiving warnings from his fellow islanders, Kordell opted to stay with Serena only. However, the voting polls have been opened for the viewers, and the least favorite couple will face elimination in the upcoming episode. The latest recoupling has notably devastated some of the islanders, promising to stir up significant drama.

Rob Rausch takes a dig at Leah Kateb during recoupling

'Love Island USA' Season 6 islander Rob Rausch ditched Leah Kateb for the new bombshell Andrea Carmona. While announcing his decision, Rob took a dig at Leah. Rob shared about Andrea, "She makes me feel the perfect amount of nervous and comfortable at the same time."

Rob continued to share his reason for choosing Andrea, "She makes me feel safe and like oddly at home, and she makes me think and feel things I don't think I should be thinking of feeling after three days knowing somebody." The Peacock show islander shaded Leah, remarking, "She managed to steal me away from a pretty strong connection, which I think just says a lot more about our connection," adding "No offence."

Rob concluded his speech noting, "Honestly if I had to put it into one word, I would just say bliss." However, Leah claimed that Rob "said the same thing."
