While sometimes the choice of how couples end up together lands in America's hands and others it's up to the Islanders themselves, Love Island USA Host Ariana Madix told Peacock Blog she's always taken aback.
"I'm always surprised by who ends up coupling up," she said. "Sometimes I think you can feel an energy between people that maybe you don't even see on camera but when you're there in person you can always kinda feel like, 'Oooh, there's some chemistry here.'"
Watch new episodes of Love Island USA every day, except Wednesdays, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on Peacock, with Love Island Aftersun dropping on Saturdays.
