MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 recently had its dramatic second recoupling ceremony, breaking hearts and connections. During the ceremony, the male islanders were asked to stand up in a line if they wanted to couple up with the new bombshells, Andrea Carmona and Nicole Jacky.

Kordell Beckham, Hakeem White and Kendall Washington took the lead and shared their desperation to couple up. However, Robert Rausch whispered to Leah Kateb 'I'm Sorry' and joined the trio of islanders. Notably, Andrea was attracted to Rob and she was overjoyed when he joined the line. The bombshell announced that she wanted to be coupled up with Rob leaving Leah in tears.

The latest recoupling came after Leah confronted Rob over his kiss with Andrea. However, Rob broke down in tears after the explosive confrontation and jumped into the swimming pool hiding for minutes. However, Rob has been dubbed player and lier and Leah slammed him for gaslighting her. Additionally, Leah called him 'con man' after he ditched her for the new bombshell.

Andrea Carmona feels 'butterflies' with Robert Rausch

During the recoupling, Andrea Carmona claimed that she felt 'butterflies' with Robert Rausch. She claimed, "It's generally been a long time since I felt the butterflies with someone." Andrea reflected on the reason for choosing Rob and noted, "From the second we started talking, it was so easy."

The Peacock show bombshell added, "Spending more time with him kind of confirmed this connection that I haven't felt in a long time." Andrea previously admitted that she has always been in the wrong relationships and dated emotionally unavailable exes. However, Andrea felt an instant spark with Rob and claimed to have all the qualities that she had been looking for in her partner.
