Love Island USA season 6 - Rob finds himself "gravitating" towards Olivia

In Love Island USA season 6 episode 18, new couple Olivia and Nigel were at odds as the male 'bombshell' felt the former regretted coupling up with him. The newcomer felt that Olivia was closed off, and Olivia explained that she sent one of her best friends home and she felt terrible.

Nigel told the cameras he wasn't sure he wanted to be chosen by her and voiced his opinions to her. Although Olivia assured him that she was upset by Connor's elimination and that it had nothing to do with him, the cast member was left conflicted.

Later in the episode, Liv spoke to several other Love Island USA season 6 islanders about the conversation, including Rob. She told them that "the boy yelled" at her and clarified they had been in an argument.

"You didn't do anything wrong at all, Liv," Rob said.

When Liv said she knew how to pick them, implying a negative reaction about the argument and her choices in men, Rob reminded her he was "right here." He added:

"Honestly, honestly, Liv. If you just came in here and you acted like you act now, it might have been a lot different, I'm not kidding."

The Love Island USA season 6 star told him it was "so nice" to hear that and noted that everything happened for a reason as the two smiled at each other. The following day, while in conversation with Aaron, Rob opened up about wanting to spend more time with Liv.

"Over the last like, three, four days, I've just found myself, like, kind of, like gravitating. Like, when I see her, I'm like, "Oh, I want to be close to her. It's really weird. I don't know why," Rob said.

After speaking to other islanders about the same, the two cast members finally sat down to have a conversation, and Olivia told Rob she liked his "vibe." The latter told her that he wanted to pull her to a side to talk to her, and said he had "secretly" been liking her. Liv said it was the nicest thing the Love Island USA season 6 islander had ever said to her.

Rob told the cameras that Liv had changed since she first entered the villa. He added that it felt like the right time to "pick her brain" and see how she felt about him.

"I would be, like, into talking to him more, but I don't want to jump the gun. We'll see. I need another conversation with him, that's for sure," Liv told the cameras.

After the episode aired, Love Island USA season 6 fans chimed in on the segment and were conflicted by Rob and Liv's changing dynamics. While some were put off by it, others believed they would make a good couple.
