The male Love Island USA contestants were introduced to six new female bombshells when they left the villa for Casa Amor, but Isaiah Campbell has caught the most sunglass-shielded eyes. Other than her short and confusing stunt with Andy Voyen, Sydney Paight has remained loyal to Isaiah and wants to make it off the island with him. Unfortunately, so do many other female islanders on the show. At the start of the season, bombshell Valerie Bragg had her eye on Isaiah, which left Sydney in tears. Luckily for the Texas native, there wasn't much of a spark, and the bombshell quickly moved on from Sydney's man Isaiah.
Unfortunately, the couple wasn't in the clear yet. After the incident with Andy, the pair seemed to be over their ups and downs and ready for a full commitment. This changed when new bombshells Kat Rose and Nadjha Day arrived with the intention of getting to know the 21-year-old islander. This time, Sydney had two islanders to worry about. Isaiah seemed close to recoupling with Nadjha but ultimately stayed loyal to his day one. Now that he's in Casa Amor and Sydney's out of sight, he's gained a lot of popularity with the new female bombshells, and there are some likely reasons why he's so desired.

Isaiah is tied with Chazz Bryant as the youngest male contestant on the show, and with an arm full of tattoos and one sole cross earing, he's many girls in their early 20s' dream. In a Reddit thread shared by u/Shotaro-Hidari, one fan said "He has f**kboy aesthetic that's appealing to many girls his age." Felipe Gomes, 32, and Bryce Fins, 30, had a maturity that was less desirable to the younger contestants on the show, which is likely why they were both eliminated. They weren't at the Love Island USA villa to stir up drama or play games but to make a real connection. Isaiah, on the other hand, has been at the center of a lot of the show's drama. He's the guy everyone wants, but no one can get because of Sydney's tight grip. This makes him all the more attractive to the young female islanders, some of which have admitted to wanting what they can't have. It's no secret that not every contestant on Love Island USA is ready to settle down. Older contestants like Timmy Pandolfi and Zeta Morrison, who are both 29 years old, seem likely to make it to the end, despite some of the drama they encountered.
However, Isaiah seems to be jumping around quite a lot with the female islanders, and bombshells who have been watching the show before entering the villa know this. Bria Bryant was bold going after Timmy earlier in the season, but the Casa Amor bombshells might just be choosing the easy option. However, another Reddit user believed producers may have influenced his popularity by specifically choosing bombshells they knew were interested in Isaiah in order to cause drama on the show. Another possibility is that since Sydney and Isaiah have been together since day one, aside from the Andy recoupling, the Casa Amor girls are determined to tear the couple apart and be the one to win him over, leaving Sydney alone. Some of the Love Island USA fans seem to agree as, as one Redditor wrote, "Going after Isaiah is now like a challenge to prove someone's the hottest of all and has nothing to do with Isaiah himself. They want to unseat Sydney and show they're the alpha or something."
Some fans of Love Island USA have been caught off guard by Isaiah's popularity with the women since there are so many other male contestants who are willing to stay loyal and be respectful towards the female islanders. However, Isaiah's desirability may just be the result of young contestants and producer antics. 25-year-old contestant Jeff Christian, who's been struggling to make a connection, seems like the perfect match for someone looking for a real relationship, but his genuine nature seems to be losing out to Isaiah's games. Whether any of the Casa Amor girls successfully win Isaiah's affection or not, he's clearly the most popular guy on Love Island USA season 4.
Love Island USA airs Tuesday through Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on Peaco*ck.
