MAMANUCA, FIJI: Kendall Washington's actions on 'Love Island USA' have sparked outrage among fans, earning him the nickname "Thanos of the villa" for his deceptive and strategic gameplay. Despite being coupled with Nicole, viewers have noticed that very little of their relationship has been shown. Instead, Kendall is often seen interacting with other islanders and stirring up drama.

In Casa Amor, Kendall encouraged the boys to be wild while maintaining his own clean image. This behavior has led fans to question his sincerity and label him a villain. Furthermore, his remarks about Serena's reaction to Kordell's betrayal and his subsequent actions, such as walking with his arm around her and appearing supportive, have only added to the perception of him playing both sides.

Kendall's ability to manipulate situations and maintain a friendly facade has frustrated viewers. They see him as more interested in playing the game than in forming genuine connections. As a result, Kendall's reputation has taken a hit, with fans calling him out for his fake gameplay and dubbing him the villa's villain.

Furious viewers took to Reddit to share their opinion. "He’s beyond fake. He stays in women’s business!" a user said. "I hated how all he was all up in Serena’s face too, waaaay too close, essentially looking down on her, but playing it as friendly," said another. "HE KNOWS SERENA AND KORDELL WOULD WIN IF THEY WERE TOGETHER SO HES TRYING TO TEAR THEM APART SOOO BADLY," added one.

"Yes very calculated to win. He’ll be exposed on movie night… I was a big fan of him too smh," added another user. "Yes I’ve been waiting for people to clock him. He’s snakey," commented one. "Yes he’s the villian right behind Aaron. I can’t wait for them both to be roasted on movie night and hopefully both girls drop them. I literally can’t deal with much more of those two on my screens," commented another.

Kendall Washington instigates Kordell Beckham to pick Daia McGhee

In the latest episode of 'Love Island USA' Season 6, Kendall Washington played a role in influencing Kordell Beckham's romantic decisions. As Kordell wrestled with his growing feelings for Casa Amor bombshell Daia McGhee while still being emotionally tied to his original partner, Serena, Kendall stepped in to provide some guidance.

Kendall encouraged Kordell to embrace his connection with Daia rather than overthink his situation with Serena. He pointed out how Daia brought out a more vibrant and carefree side of Kordell, something that everyone loved to see.

"Daia brought this side out of you, bro, and I'm obsessed with it, bro, because you are so excited. You're hyped off life in here. You're not overthinking, 'okay if I do this, is she gonna take a step back, if I do this, is the pace too fast.' All you gotta do is be Kordell, which everyone f**king loves, and Daia sees that," said Kendall.
