What did Ariana Madix say about hosting the reality show?
Stepping into the Love Island villa, Madix shared that she knew she had to be herself. In conversation with the entertainment portal, the reality TV star shared, “I knew going in that I just wanted to be me, times 10, and just bring whatever makes me me to the role.”
The first episode of Love Island USA premiered on June 11 and is expected to go on for six weeks. The challenges and twists of the show have gotten the audience intrigued by what is yet to come.

The TV star said, “Sometimes I want to jump in there, but I can’t because I’m the host. I’m not an Islander. I can’t jump in and start getting into it with them, but sometimes I do have things I wish that I could say straight to their faces. It’s fascinating.”
