MAMANUCA ISLANDS, FIJI: After the June 18 episode of 'Love Island USA' Season 6, Rob Rausch is hands down the most controversial person on the island now. From dumping Leah Kateb to coupling up with Andrea Carmona, he has done it all, in the same episode - while being equally frustrated (sexually!).

Yes, you heard that right! In a one-on-one conversation with Andrea, Rob opens up about his tension with Leah. While talking about how his conversation with Leah from the night before was a complete bummer, he couldn't help but raise the issue of the fact that he was overwhelmed by all the emotions.

He reveals, "Also, I haven't ejaculated in a really long time."

When Andrea very sportingly asks him if that would help the situation and ease his tension, Rob agrees.

'Love Island USA' star Rob Rausch wished to pursue both Leah Kateb and Andrea Carmona

An emotional chat marked the end of Rob and Leah's romance. Tuesday's episode of 'Love Island USA' resumed where bombshell Andrea and Rob left off.

Leah discovered Andrea kissed Rob first, and then Rob kissed Andrea. After they exchanged a few words, Rob told her that he wanted to keep going with both Andrea and Leah and praised her for being "cool" about the whole thing.

'Love Island USA' star Rob Rausch accuses Leah Kateb of not trusting him

After the girls encouraged Leah to tell Rob how she truly felt, she took him away from his conversation with Andrea. Leah initially complained that they didn't get to finish chatting, and he had been up there talking to Andrea for quite some time.

Rob tries to tell Leah that he isn't ready to leave her, but he notices something with Andrea. Lea said that she did not want her feelings damaged, and Rob responded that someone else's feelings would be affected, causing Leah to become upset.

They exchange additional words. Then the question of trust arose when Rob claimed that he believes Leah does not trust him, to which Leah responded that she has never said so. Rob brought up the time she labeled him a conman, to which Leah replied that it was a "joke."

Rob became extremely annoyed and agitated, and he let Leah know it. He wandered about and wept, but Leah remained still.

Rob remarked in the confessional that he had been honest, but she did not trust him. He went on to claim that he felt invisible and that, no matter what he said, they were going in circles.

He felt he was harming her, and there was nothing he could do. Furthermore, he felt as if she didn't believe him.

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

Rob returned, and the two resumed their conversation. Leah stated that it was not her aim to harm or make him feel awful.

Rob then lashed out, "Won't you ask me how I'm feeling?" which she did. He stated that he likes her and thinks she's an "amazing woman," but he's not sure if she's the perfect one for him.

Leah requested clarification, to which he repeated the same thing. This prompted him to elaborate on his feelings as they were "hashing things out."

He yelled that she did not listen to him and cut him off, which wounded his feelings. He described her as "gorgeous" and "sexy as f**k," but added that "they don't have a groove."

She accepted that he is allowed to feel the way he does, and "there's nothing wrong with that." Rob then said that he needed some time to process.

Leah requested a hug, and they had a brief embrace before Rob dashed out, removing his shirt and wires. He jumped in the pool.

When it came to recoupling, by the end of the episode, Rob and Andrea had chosen each other, leaving Leah single.
