MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 6 islander Kendall Washinton and Nicole Jacky have survived Casa Amor and movie night drama as they both decided to remain loyal to each other. The duo's budding romance has been getting stronger with each challenge but the viewers claimed the producers are pushing it.

In the latest episode, Kendall and Nicole recently admitted that they were left very nervous when Harrison Luna decided to steal an islander sabotaging their connection. Nicole claimed, "I came here to find someone and we're not leaving unless we're leaving together."

Kendall shared in the confessional, "The reason I came to 'Love Island' was to find that connection and I feel like I found that. I don't even feel like I found that. I know I found that with Nicole." He added, "We both have found something in each other that I think is pretty special." However, the viewers accused the dating show producers of pushing their romance to let them win Season 6.

A social media user commented, "The producers so clearly want kendall and nicole to win and honestly i’m not mad about it." Another person added, "The producers cannot make me care about Kendall and Nicole no matter how hard they try." Another X user tweeted, "It’s evident the producers only want Kendall or Aaron to win smh."

Another critic noted, "Is it just me or do i feel like the producers want both aaron & kaylor AND kendall & nicole in that finale, so they want to get rid of one of the ppg and their partners?" Another internet user penned, "Sorry kendall you’re still not convincing me you and nicole deserve the win."
