Connor is “sad” that fans of “Love Island USA” are questioning his connection to JaNa (Interview)

Couples on Love Island USA may be sweet at first but can quickly turn sour. Connor Newsum was one of the first two male bombshells of the sixth season of the reality series. It looked as if he would only find a counterpart, JaNa Craigdid the unexpected and engaged him in conversation. That was enough for her to keep up with Connor, instead of Coye Simmons In the first week.

A few weeks later, Connor started insulting JaNa while flirting with her friend. Leah Kateb. Collider spoke to Connor about this change via Zoom on July 2nd. This is what he learned from his time in the villa and his reaction to one of the strongest couples being put in danger by Casa Amor.

Connor talks about his connection with JaNa on “Love Island USA” Was real

Connor claimed he saw JaNa with Coye and thought they were “married,” so he was surprised when she pulled him out for a chat and told him she was interested in him. “I found that super attractive,” he said Collider. “I love it when a girl comes to me. I think it just shows a lot of initiative, and it’s not quite common for something like that to happen.” He said his first mating ceremony was “one of the scariest nights” in the villa. The PR coordinator had no idea after his speech that she would choose him. Connor returned the favor in a way by not letting JaNa stand next to him Nicole Jacky or Andrea Carmona“I just felt like I hadn’t built a stronger bond with Nicole or Andrea,” he said.

His relationship with JaNa changed once Leah Kateb And Rob Rausch were over. Connor wanted to get to know Leah, which was difficult because she is good friends with JaNa. He also started making shady comments about JaNa, such as intentionally downgrading their kiss and saying it wasn’t a difficult decision to get with Leah instead of JaNa. This made fans doubt that he ever cared about JaNa and used her to stay in the villa.

“I was a little sad when I got released and realized that people thought it wasn’t real, because it was,” he said. “I think it came about because it fizzled out really, really quickly.” Connor claimed he “learned” from those negative comments about JaNa. “I hate how they came across,” he later said. “I feel like I come across as an asshole and that just doesn’t really match the person I’m trying to be. And I think it was maybe a mix. I was really excited to talk to Leah.” Connor believes those moments of speaking negatively about JaNa to Leah were an attempt to show Leah how excited he was about their union. He said his comments at the ceremony may have turned Leah off and insulted JaNa. JaNa also confronted Connor about not telling her he wanted to focus on Leah before Andrea was dumped. “I could have been more open and honest with her,” he admitted. But he had a hard time telling JaNa that he was having great conversations with another woman.

The reality star admits an alliance for season 6 of “Love Island USA”.

“I think when things got tough between JaNA and me, I struggled to reach a deeper level of conversation,” he explained. The PR coordinator had the same interests as Leah, such as movies, nature, animals and plants. Connor said JaNa told him the evening after Andrea left that they were getting along well. He claimed they were joking again and were friends. Connor said he even helped JaNa and KennyRodriguez He told her that Kenny loves to eat and gave her tips on what to cook for him. Then he told Kenny how JaNa likes her pancakes. “I really tried to maybe make up for some of the pain I had caused her there,” he added.

Why Connor talks differently about Leah than about JaNa

People noticed that Connor was quick to look JaNa in the face, but did not speak badly about Leah. The animal lover told the other islanders that she no longer liked Connor, but she continued to blame him.I let Leah lead me around by the nose for a while and it was really frustrating,” he said. Connor admitted to being angry about it, but wanted to handle it differently. “I don’t know, maybe I learned from the JaNa situation that there is a better way to do this,” he claimed.

Most recently, the former Islander played a game after being dumped. He was asked which Islander was sneaky and he answered JaNa, despite learning that Leah had been talking about him behind his back.The game was tough because I didn’t want to call anyone wrong.,” he said ColliderConnor said he thought about JaNa’s little comments in the villa that seemed nice at first until you stopped and thought about them. He gave an example of when he and Leah were on opposite sides of JaNa. “I’m just so lucky to be standing next to two incredible people,” JaNa said of her. Connor thought about it and thought she was being sarcastic. “I hate how that came out and I really shouldn’t have said JaNA,” he said later.

He does not believe that JaNa is devious and has a diabolical plan. This contradicts Hakeem White’s Theory that JaNa leads the Power Puff Girls, including Serena Page and Leah. Connor says all three women in the Powerpuff Girls have been in charge at times. He said it was sad when JaNa and Leah fought over him in the locker room. “Thankfully they rekindled it,” he said.

Rob and Aaron Evans are close friends who had a falling out with the Powerpuff Girls.”I think (Rob) obviously felt tremendous hostility to the idea that they played a role in Andrea being sent home,” Connor said. “I can’t say I don’t understand what was going on in his head,” he said later. Connor doesn’t blame Leah for sending Andrea home, since other women voted for it as well.

Now the men are in Casa Amor and Aaron kisses Daniela Ortiz-Rivera, that will break Kaylor Martins Heart. “I was a little surprised about Aaron,” Connor said. He noted that Aaron and Kaylor are open and that he may try things out at Casa Amor. He predicts that Kaylor will not be thrilled to see Aaron with Daniela on movie night. Some have wondered if Aaron is there for the prize money since he won The traitors Great BritainBut Connor believes he is in the villa for love. “I never had any idea Aaron was playing a game,” he said. Connor said he felt strange when he saw the Love Island USA episodes, and he misses his friends. Unfortunately, he has to keep an eye on them outside the mansion and watch Aaron get out of this chaotic situation.
