I got a text! I’m heading back to the villa tonight!
Bravo’s “Love Island USA” is back just in time for the start of summer, and this time the Florida native will take over as host of the show, replacing “Modern Family” actress Sarah Hyland.
Based on the British show of the same name, the reality dating competition follows Fijian contestants, or “islanders,” as they pair up, complete challenges, and deal with drama inside the villa. Surprises are added throughout the season, including new beauties and “surprise guests.”
Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite couples as they tune in on the Love Island USA app, giving them the chance to decide which Islanders will stay in the villa and whose love journey will end midway. According to Par Peacock, viewers can look forward to a “brand new, vibrant villa, including the inspiring Casa Amor and an unforgettable hideaway.”
