Read on for everything you need to know about Washington, and whether or not he could actually win.

Kendall Washington’s time on ‘Love Island USA’ Season 6, explained

Washington has been one of the more polarizing characters on the season. Though he has been beloved by many for hyping up the other contestants and his energetic personality, others have been critical of him during his time on the show, and he has even been called out by fellow contestants for acting one way in their face and saying different things behind their backs.

He was initially coupled up with Hannah Smith, the first out of the season, and after pairing, the two didn’t share much chemistry. He them coupled up with Nicole Jacky, one of the first two bombshells, and they hit it off. Allegedly thinking that she was going to twist during the ‘Stick or Twist’ challenge, Washington decided to twist even though Jacky chose to stick. They made it through this and they also came back from Casa Amor both single.

Most of the backlash Washington comes in when she actively encouraged the other men in the villa to pursue other partners, and even compared the experiences to the women they left back at the villa. And after this, once returning to the vila, the OG women thought that it was two-faced that he said that he encouraged their villa relationships and were supposed to be their friends, but somehow also encouraged the men to get with the Casa Amor girls.

Will Kendall Washington win ‘Love Island USA’ Season 6?

Jacky and Washington have consistently been voted as one of the top couples in the public vote. However, it is unlikely that Washington and Jacky will win the competition. For one, Jacky is the only non-original girl that is left in the villa, which puts them at a disadvantage.

Also, Washington and Jacky typically receive less buzz on social media when compared to the other three couples. Then, there is the backlash that Washington received during the Casa Amor stage of the competition. For these reasons, Kendall Washington will likely not win Love Island USA Season 6.
