As with every series I watch, I am always a little skeptical whether the next season will be as good or better than the previous ones, and Love Island USA Season 6 was no exception.
The series has become a guilty pleasure for me to watch in the summer, and Peacock has really managed to make the show a success since taking over the series from CBS with Love Island USA Season 4. With season 4 and Love Island USA Season 5 sets the bar so high for my entertainment level, imagine my surprise when I Love Island USA Season 6 and be ready to call it the best season yet.
That’s right, even before the new season is over, I’m ready to declare it the best season yet. My bold statement is largely thanks to the cast. I usually have to wait a few episodes before the drama and wow factor of a cast really grabs me, and the Season 6 cast has started with a bang.
Take Leah Kateb and Rob Rausch, for example. In week one, they managed to form a cute couple, only for him to have a rematch with Liv Walker, then turn around and sneak off with Leah, and finally have a rematch with her. Then, as week two began, Rob found himself so attracted to bombshell Andrea Carmona that he provided Leah with a list of reasons why he and Leah were no longer compatible, before declaring his desire to be with Andrea in front of all the islanders. As if that wasn’t enough, Leah’s R-rated comments throughout were TV gold.
Speaking of Leah, the best trio of her, JaNa Craig, and Serena Page is hilarious to watch. One moment they’re supporting each other through the emotional rollercoaster they’re both going through in the villa, and the next Serena is ripping JaNa into Egg Gate or JaNa and Leah are arguing about Connor Newsum. Oh, and in a shocking twist, Leah doesn’t even like Connor anymore, and JaNa seems to be over him too.
I could go on and on about the other cast members who keep things entertaining, like Kendall Washington with his impressive, confident dance routines, Kordell Beckham with his ability to always be positive and remain loyal to Serena’s slowly budding affection, and Liv’s ability to put everyone in their place. The fact that all of the cast members contribute to the season that amazes me as a viewer is phenomenal.
Now that the season is in full swing again, perhaps one of the must-see moments will take place in Love Island Season 6, Episode 13. During the fallout from Andrea’s shocking off-island vote, Rob and a group of other islanders lead a mutiny that causes utter chaos. If you don’t believe me, watch the clip below.
All in all, no disrespect to the previous participants of Love Island USAbut the Islanders of the 6th season are in a class of their own and take the series to a new level. By the way, a big compliment to Vanderpump Rules“Ariana Madix, who does a phenomenal job hosting.”
New episodes of Love Island USA Season 6 will be broadcast directly on peacock in the USA.
