Love Island USA becomes the No. 1 reality series in America

The reviews are in and it’s official. Love Island USA is a hit!

The bosses at Peacock are taking a victory lap and boasting about their huge ratings gains. They just announced that the new season of Love Island USA is the number one reality show on streaming. Everyone should thank Ariana Madix.

Peacock hits the jackpot with Love Island USA

Season 6 of Love Island USA premiered on Peacock on June 11, and since then it has consistently been ranked by Neilsen as one of the top 10 reality shows on streaming. This news should be a big scare for Netflix, as they entered the reality TV scene heavily this summer with new seasons of The Mole and Perfect Match.

Obviously, part of Love Island USA’s recent success is due to its newfound connection to the Vanderpump Rules universe. Countless VPR fans tuned into Love Island specifically to see Ariana. Then she showed up to host in these sexy, one-of-a-kind outfits and took the rest of America by storm.

Of course, it’s not like Love Island USA was a flop before Ariana. Seasons 4 and 5 on Peacock were also successful. They’re still streaming on Peacock, along with a handful of other spinoffs and international editions.

Still, Season 6 is just something special. Ariana is there. The Islanders are particularly chaotic. It’s like they’ve finally perfected the recipe for this edition of the franchise.

The success of Love Island USA is just the latest step in Peacock’s reality TV takeover. Deal or No Deal Island and The Traitors were also huge hits for the streamer. They’re going strong and show no signs of slowing down, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

New episodes of Love Island USA air Thursdays and Tuesdays at 9/8c on Peacock.
