The new season of Love Island USA premiered this week, kicking off six weeks of steamy reality romance that you can stream from the comfort of your couch (with the AC blasting). Season 7 sees a new group of sexy singles jet off to the villa in Fiji, where they’ll look to couple up and win hearts both on and off the island to compete for $100,000. Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is returning as the host for Season 7 to help guide the audience through what is sure to be plenty of drama, and of course, some dramatically good looks.
