However, viewers on the live feeds began noticing some red flags. At times, Rylie’s comments toward Katherine seemed overly intense, with one moment in particular sparking concern when he told her, “I’m being with you outside of this, whether you like it or not.”
Fans voice concern over Rylie’s behavior
On social media, fans accused Rylie of being “controlling” and “possessive,” while others defended him as simply being passionate. The divide in opinion quickly made Rylie and Katherine one of the most discussed pairs of the season.

After his eviction, Rylie addressed the controversy. He admitted his emotions may have come across too strongly on the feeds but insisted he was acting out of love, not control.
“I’m a passionate person. Sometimes that doesn’t come out the way I mean it to. I never wanted Katherine to feel uncomfortable.”
He went on to say he hopes viewers see him as more than just a few viral clips.
