FIJI, SOUTH PACIFIC: Fans of 'Love Island USA' believe Leah Kateb is a wreck after losing Rob Rausch to Liv Walker. Following the June 12 episode, viewers' sympathy for Leah seems to be waning as they find it difficult to comprehend her emotional outburst over a brief one-day connection.

The sixth season of 'Love Island USA' took the heat to Fiji. With ten Islanders entering the villa in pursuit of love and a $100,000 prize, tensions rose as one couple may already be facing jeopardy.

By the end of the first night, the Islanders had paired up either by choice or by default. Among them, Rob and Leah developed a chemistry that neither wanted to lose after choosing each other.

However, when the season's first bombshell, Liv, arrived, everything changed. Liv pulled Rob aside twice to speak with him, despite her initial interest in Kendall Washington and Aaron Evans. Liv claimed that her "gut and heart" were telling her that Rob was the best choice for her.

So, when host Ariana Madix encouraged Liv to pair up with someone of her choosing, despite everyone else already being taken, Liv boldly chose Rob, the snake wrangler.

Rob was taken aback by Liv's choice and expressed that he didn't anticipate being picked, as he believed he had already made it clear that he wasn't interested. He even assured Leah that she had nothing to worry about before Liv's choice.

Though Leah was left as the only single Islander when Liv swooped in and took her guy, she may have the option of reclaiming Rob or pairing up with one of the two new Bombshells who entered the villa near the conclusion of Episode 1.

Fans of 'Love Island USA' were surprised by Leah's emotional breakdown in episode 2, triggered by Liv following her intuition. Leah criticized Liv, calling her "mean" and "snakey" for pursuing the man Leah had her eyes on.

On Reddit, one fan asked, "Why is Leah being like “fuck rob”, he clearly is not happy he was picked and looked like he was very confused that he was? I know her feelings are hurt but she is being messy."

Another user chimed in, "Leah girl just forgive him my god He didn’t do anything!!! Rob is saying all the right things and she’s just moping around. Laaame." One user wrote, "LEAH I’ve never heard a love island man be so clear in his intentions to want to be with someone."

Another user sighed, "Leah acting like Rob chose to leave her." One user said, "Leah is acting like she is never going to see or talk to rob again. I live for this mess." Another person added, "Leah is being ridiculous how is she a snake ?! She’s a bombshells and it’s only been like 2 days …"
