'Love Island USA' star Aaron Evans bashes villa ladies for making Rob Rausch single

Aaron Evans expressed frustration with the women in the villa after Rob Rausch decided to stay single. Following the elimination of Andrea Carmona, Rob announced he wanted to leave the villa with her, but Aaron was devastated by this potential departure.

“Why would you guys go for Andrea? Rob the strongest connection in here. Why would you knock Andrea out?” Evans questioned the girls. "I just want Rob to be here, selfishly. But I also want Rob to be happy. And I just feel the girls whether they're being protective over Jana and Nicole or they were just being spiteful because, you know, Rob ended it with Leah. He also didn't want to be with Liv, and I feel like that's the reason that they sent Andrea home," he added further.
