Ariana Madix Dishes on the Exciting New Season of Love Island USA; Vanderpump Rules Star Talks About Hosting Experience
Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix has taken on a new role as a reality show host. Madix, who is now hosting the new season of Love Island USA, recently shared her experience with The Hollywood Reporter. Despite her regular appearances on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, the show has been on hiatus after focusing on Tom Sandoval for two controversial seasons.
Love Island USA kicked off with plenty of drama and has kept the momentum going in the latest episodes, featuring love triangles and heartbreaks.
What did Ariana Madix say about hosting the reality show?
When entering the Love Island villa, Madix made sure to stay true to herself. In an interview, she expressed, “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 aired on June 11 and is set to continue for six weeks, promising more challenges and twists to keep viewers engaged.
Despite the drama in the villa, Madix admitted that she sometimes wishes she could jump into arguments, but her role as the host prevents her from doing so. She shared, “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.”
