The ultimate Love Island USA relationship test is almost here.
“I have been told there will be more twists and turns to Casa [Amor] than ever before,” host Ariana Madix said during the Saturday, June 21, episode of Aftersun. “They are going to start it very differently, getting [the islanders out in a way] they’ve never done before.”
She added, “I feel like I say a lot [that] ‘We’ve never done it before,’ but then it’s always something crazy we’ve never done before.”
Love Island centers around a group of single contestants (known as islanders) as they live in a luxury villa with the purpose of coupling up and finding love. About halfway through the experiment, half of the group leaves the residence for a three-night stay in Casa Amor with a handful of bombshells. (The remaining islanders will live in the main villa with other newcomers.)
“I actually just went over there and checked it out, it looks really, really cool,” Ariana, 39, teased of the house on Saturday. “There’s a room with a revolving door that is very private. You know when you push on a bookcase and it reveals a hidden room? You push this circle on the wall and it rotates and reveals it’s a door into a room with pillows.”
She added, “It’s giving Soul Ties vibes but more private, sneakier. There’s a fire pit, and a couch surrounding it.”
Ariana further confirmed whether the girls or the guys will be living in Casa.
“I can also reveal that it will be the girls [who] are going to Casa this year,” Ariana added.

For any faithful viewers getting excited about Ariana’s teases, you won’t have to wait too much longer for an update.
“Two more sleeps, baby,” Ariana quipped. “Monday night, it’s all going to kick off.”
Love Island USA airs almost daily on Peacock, with Wednesdays being the sole days off the air. Most of the islanders are currently coupled, including Ace Green and Chelley Bissainthe, Austin Shepard and Amaya Espinal, Nic Vansteenberghe and Cierra Ortega, Pepe Gonzalez and Hannah Fields, Taylor Williams and Olandria Carthen, as well as Jeremiah Brown and Iris Kendall.
There are also a few single contestants, including Huda Mustafa and a pair of new arrivals. Time will tell whether they couple up before the Casa test.
Regardless of the outcome of the Love Island recouplings, Ariana hopes fans remember to be kind to the cast members.
“I also think the people running their social media pages need to be on top of blocking, deleting, and setting limits on words etc. on their pages,” Ariana recently wrote via TikTok comment. “They shouldn’t see any of that when they get their phones back.”
