This season of “Love Island USA” is turning up the heat with a new host, a new villa, and of course, a new cast.
So it’s no surprise that Casa Amor is welcoming some beautiful new men and women who will be making a difference for the islanders.
Two of the Casa Amor women, Destiny Herzog and Katherine Marshall, have ties to hot Arizona.
One of them catches the eye of multiple guys, while the other isn’t afraid to tear apart (seemingly) stable couples.
Will Destiny and Katherine make it to the Love Island USA finals? Or will they just be spending their time on a boys’ holiday?

Here’s everything we know about the two new contestants from Arizona who are creating a buzz on “Casa Amor.”
Who is Destiny Herzog from ‘Love Island USA’?
Year: twenty two.
Birthplace/Current residence: Scottsdale and Los Angeles.
Profession: model.
Instagram: @destinyherzog.
Destiny loves to travel and is rarely at home – music is a big part of her life and she can usually be found at festivals.
She was born in Paris and holds American, Israeli and French passports.
Destiny has a tendency to be late for everything, which has resulted in her missing multiple flights. She began her modeling career in Los Angeles and walked the runway at Miami Swim Week.
“Whenever I walk into a room, all eyes are on me,” she said in her introduction. “I mean, look at me, obviously. When I walk into the villa, guys definitely run towards me. I’m ready.”
Chatting with the boys at the villa, she tells me she was born in Europe and her mother is Filipina. By the time she was 18, she had visited 20 countries, travelled to Bali, China and Vietnam, and still wants to go many more places.
Villa bad boy Rob Rausch seemed to have his eye on Destiny – he immediately sat down next to her and the other boys noticed too.
“It’s no coincidence that Rob is the only person sitting next to her,” Kenny said.
When the boys discussed their top two first impression choices, Destiny was Kenny’s favorite and one of two choices, Aaron and Rob.
Rob continued to pull Destiny along for a chat.
“I don’t want to scare you too much, but I’m cursed,” Rob said. “You should know that.”
“Why are you cursed?” Destiny said.
“The last two girls I was paired with got voted out,” he said.
“Well, maybe I’m not,” she said.
Ian Stirling, in his narration for the episode, joked about Rob “dating Destiny” and made a seemingly inappropriate comment by saying she was 25 years old instead of 22.
She and Rob joked that her outfit made her look like an undercover spy.
“Rob is a very tough guy,” Destiny says, “and I think he’s used to guys chasing him. I don’t think he’s like any other guy I’ve ever been with, so there’s this toxic side to me that makes him intriguing and even to me, because I can’t read his mind.”
During the spin the bottle challenge, Rob picked Destiny and Daniella as the two hottest Islanders to share a three-way kiss.
Destiny shared another steamy kiss with Rob during the challenge and said Daniella was her biggest rival in the villa.
“That was a pretty good kiss. I think I might want to kiss her again,” Rob said.
Who is Katherine Marshall from ‘Love Island USA’?
Year: twenty four.
Birthplace/Current residence: Hillsboro, Oregon and Fountain Hills, Arizona.
Profession: Personal secretary.
Instagram: @catherine.marshall.
Katherine’s parents are from Puerto Rico and she is Dominican, and when it comes to relationships, she wants to feel like a princess and make her partner feel special too.
As an Aries, she prides herself on being very honest and forthright. Katherine is bilingual in English and Spanish, but when she’s angry, she tends to only speak Spanish.
“I’m hoping to find someone who is passionate, caring, loyal and willing to reciprocate my sexual needs,” Katherine said in her introduction. “Girls would definitely be scared because I’m hot.”
When she first spoke with the boys, she introduced herself and said she was from Scottsdale.
“OK, Scottsdale is fun,” Kendall replied.
“It certainly is rough out there,” she said.
“That’s hot,” one of the men said.
“It’s hot, it’s hot outside,” Catherine retorted, and everyone laughed.
Katherine thought the guys were pretty healthy, so she was surprised by Kendall, who she said was full of energy and “really cool.”
Kendall is currently dating Nicole and things seem to be going well between the two.
Katherine had to suck the fingers of any islander she wanted to seduce, and in the end, she chose Kendall.
