It didn’t take long for drama to bubble up on 90 Day: Hunt for Love. While the season kicked off with sun-soaked optimism, it quickly detoured into familiar emotional chaos. At the center of this blow-up? Rob Warne.
Fans may remember Rob from his tense relationship with Sophie Sierra on 90 Day Fiancé. But 90 Day: Hunt for Love offered a fresh start (or so it seemed). Viewers rooting for Rob were hopeful after his 90 Day Diaries update hinted at growth. Unfortunately, those hopes didn’t last long.
Just one episode of 90 Day: Hunt for Love in, Rob found himself entangled in a fiery argument with fellow cast member Elise. The moment was loud, emotional, and very public—something that fans (and maybe Rob himself) had hoped to avoid this time around.
Rob told Courtney,
“It’s too early for all this. It seems like another messy situation where I don’t know what to do or where to go with it,”
Rob’s fresh start on 90 Day: Hunt for Love takes a quick turn
At first, Rob looked like he was settling in well at the 90 Day: Hunt for Love resort. He was relaxed, mingling, and quickly caught the attention of Elise. The two were seen getting cozy, with Rob even sneaking in a smooch and checking her out in the hot tub.
He seemed interested, but not exclusively. After all, the whole point of the show is to explore connections. Rob made it clear he wasn’t ready to lock things down on night one.
The issue? Elise didn’t appreciate being ranked like the rest of the hot tub speed dates. And when Rob treated her like just another option, things got awkward fast. What started as flirtation quickly turned into tension.
Elise calls Rob out, and the bar gets loud
Elise decided it was time to speak up, and she didn’t wait for a private moment to do it. In front of the group, she asked Rob why he had treated her like just another face in the crowd during the hot tub ranking challenge, especially after he’d spent the previous night texting her and asking her to come to his room. To her, it felt like mixed signals, and she wasn’t afraid to say it.
Rob didn’t take the confrontation lightly. Instead of stepping back or trying to smooth things over, he snapped back. What began as a simple callout quickly grew into a heated exchange.
Voices were raised, and the tension in the 90 Day: Hunt for Love room skyrocketed. What had started as a resort full of singles looking for love suddenly felt more like a battleground, with everyone watching as things between Rob and Elise boiled over.
The fight feels familiar for longtime fans
For anyone who watched Rob’s past relationship unfold on the franchise, the argument with Elise might have felt like déjà vu. The dynamic was unsettlingly similar to what viewers saw between Rob and his ex, Sophie. Sophie often found Rob in contact with other women and once, allegedly, even a man.
Now, in 90 Day: Hunt for Love, Rob’s old habits seem to be resurfacing. He’s playing the field and clashing with women who call him out. And while it’s not clear who’s at fault in this latest blow-up, the pattern is hard to ignore.
The fallout could affect more than just Rob and Elise
The fallout between Rob and Elise didn’t just affect the two of them—it played out in full view of the other singles at the 90 Day: Hunt for Love resort. And in a setting where everyone’s watching and first impressions carry serious weight, that kind of drama doesn’t go unnoticed.
Plenty of 90 Day: Hunt for Love Castmates were right there at the bar when the confrontation happened, and moments like that tend to stick. It’s one thing to have a disagreement in private, but it’s another when the whole room sees it unfold.
Now, Rob faces more than just one awkward dynamic. The tension could easily make others hesitant to connect with him going forward. On a show where quick chemistry matters, he might find it harder to turn things around and earn back trust. Whether or not he can smooth things over remains to be seen.
