Ariana Madix is the new Love Island USA Season 6 host on Peacock. The Vanderpump Rules star fired back at a critic who said she’s “no Maya Jama.” Madix defended being her authentic self as host. She’s taking over from Sarah Hyland, who couldn’t return due to a conflicting project.
Love Island USA Season 6: New Beginnings with Ariana Madix
The buzz around Ariana Madix hosting Love Island USA Season 6 is in full swing, and fans are already speculating how the Vanderpump Rules star will step into this iconic role. While Madix brings her own unique style to the show, some fans couldn’t help but compare her to Maya Jama, the famous host of Love Island UK and Love Island Games. But Ariana, true to form, didn’t let the criticism slide.
Ariana Madix’s Bold Response to Critics
In a teaser on Peacock’s Instagram, Ariana Madix received the unforgettable “I’ve got a text!” moment, confirming her as the new Love Island USA host. As excitement grew, one commenter remarked, comparing her to Maya Jama by saying, “You are no Maya.”
Ariana Madix was quick to respond with confidence,
“That’s obvious, dear. I could never be, nor am I trying to be, Maya Jama. It would be odd if I did. I will do what I do best—be myself.”
Fans quickly backed up Ariana Madix, supporting her unapologetic authenticity. Her response instantly became a fan-favorite moment before the season even started.
Where’s Former Host Sarah Hyland?
Ariana takes over from Sarah Hyland, the Love Island USA host for Seasons 4 and 5. Unfortunately, Hyland couldn’t return this season due to a scheduling conflict with another project.
Sarah Hyland confirmed via Instagram: “I’m disappointed the news broke this way, but yes, I won’t be hosting Love Island this summer. I have an amazing opportunity that prevents me from traveling to Fiji.”
How Did Ariana Madix Get the Hosting Role?
The switch from Hyland to Madix didn’t come out of nowhere. Rumors had been swirling for months about who would take over, and in March, Ariana Madix was officially confirmed as the new Love Island USA host.
“Talk about a bombshell! I’m excited to say I’ll be hosting Love Island USA on Peacock this summer. Time to trade my rhinestone buckles for bikinis,” Ariana announced in a fun Instagram video.
Her hosting duties will involve guiding contestants through the ups and downs of coupling, recoupling, and eventually crowning the winning couple.
A Peek into Ariana Madix’s Hosting Experience
This may be Ariana Madix’s first full-time hosting gig for a reality show, but she’s no stranger to stirring drama in paradise. Fans might remember her guest appearance during Season 5 of Love Island USA, where she hosted the hilarious “Porn Star Pantie Pageant” challenge.
Fans eagerly await her ability to bring humor and keep the islanders on their toes as she takes on this new role. Ariana’s quick wit and sharp responses have proved she’s the perfect fit for hosting.
