MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: The contestants of 'Love Island USA' Season 6 were stunned as the drama between Rob Rausch, Leah Kateb, and Andrea Carmona began to emerge at the close of Episode 8. However, the promo for Episode 9 appears to be more worrying, as it has JaNa Craig sobbing about her best friend Leah potentially stealing her lover.

In a sneak peek at Episode 9, viewers were stunned to see JaNa weeping over newly single, Leah conversing with her boyfriend, Connor Newsum. As the two laugh, JaNa breaks down while speaking with co-star Aaron Evans.

JaNa hopes Leah's intentions are pure, as it is not a "fuck*ng game" for her. The 'Love Islander' can be seen visually distressed at the thought of her best friend sabotaging her ongoing romance with Connor.

'Love Island USA' star Rob Rausch shares 'electric' kiss with Andrea Carmona

Even though Season 6 of 'Love Island USA' has only been underway for one week, the Bombshells who have joined the Villa have already made their ambitions clear. Bombshells Andrea and Nicole Jacky arrived not only in search of love but also in order to seize their guy, even if they were already in a relationship.

Rob was taken out on his first date of the season by Andrea, who took an instant interest in him. They drank champagne and gave each other passionate kisses as they gazed into each other's eyes.

Rob acknowledged to the guys in the Villa that his kiss with Andrea was "electric," despite the fact that he had been seeing Leah since the beginning.

Why did 'Love Island USA' star Rob Rausch and Leah Kateb split?

In Episode 8, Leah approached Rob and Andrea as they were relaxing in a private spot away from the Islanders' gaze. However, things went dreadfully wrong, as Leah was heard saying, "No, no, no…that was bad."

Rob then told Leah that he was "really upset" with her, to which Leah replied, "Literally, what do you want me to say to that?"

The Islanders then told Leah that she was "spiraling" over Rob's relationship with Andrea. Some of them even encouraged her to sneak up on Rob and Andrea while they were getting to know one another, then pretend to be astonished as the drama played out.

In the June 18 episode, both Leah and Rob cried several tears and did not snuggle up to each other at the re-coupling ceremony, while Andrea and Rob chose each other, leaving Leah alone.

Are JaNa Craig and Connor Newsum still together on 'Love Island USA' Season 6?

By the end of Episode 8, JaNa and Connor are still together. Connor seemed to be expressing his devotion to his affection for JaNa in their present romance. In the show, Andrea, the recent bombshell, asked Connor to have a conversation to determine whether they would be a good fit.

Connor asserted that he lacked a preference for women. JaNa tried to listen in on their chat because she was envious and present as well. After that, Andrea talked about her recent stay at the villa and how she was trying to get in touch with Rob and Aaron.

Then Andrea inquired about Connor's relationship with JaNa. It was very obvious that JaNa was the only reason he was in the villa. He also said that things are going pretty well between him and JaNa.
