The American version of the reality dating show debuted on June 11, attracting viewers like never before, according to Deadline.

Nielsen figures reveal that Love Island USA was the most watched reality show on US streaming platforms from June 24th to 30th.

During this period, the program accumulated 434 million minutes of viewing, ranking seventh among the week’s streaming originals.

Nielsen streaming data is reported late, which is why there is no streaming data for July yet.

Love Island USA airs a new episode daily, except Wednesdays, until July 21st.

NBCUniversal reported that streaming for the sixth season of Love Island USA has doubled compared to previous seasons.

The show moved to Peacock for season four and received a two-season order from the platform after leaving CBS.

While on CBS, the show performed relatively well, but did not compare to the success of its British counterpart.

Ariana, 39, took over as host of Love Island USA in season six, replacing Sarah Hyland.

Iain Stirling, who narrates the UK version of the show, also appears on Love Island USA.

Recently, Love Island USA fans were excited after Ariana’s Vanderpump Rules co-star Katie Maloney teased a possible appearance on the show.

She shared a photo of her legs at the airport, revealing that she was heading somewhere exciting.

In the photo, which appeared on her Instagram Story, she appeared with one leg folded over the other in front of a small table.

Another Instagram Story of the star showed her sitting in a first class cabin with a large screen in front of her.

The screen had “FIJI” written on it and showed a beautiful beach scene.

“LFG,” Katie, who co-founded Something About Her with Ariana, wrote in the snap, meaning let’s go.

She didn’t explain why she was going there, but fans speculated that she would reunite with Ariana for an appearance on Love Island.

It was later revealed that Katie was appearing on the aftershow, Aftersun.

Queens of Bravo confirmed the news on X, formerly Twitter.

She and Katie will be joined by Cely Vazquez, Callum Hole and Ariana.

SHAMELESS

Although fans love Ariana as host of Love Island USA, she has faced some backlash.

A critical commenter on social media shamed the Bravo star after she shared one of her hosting looks.

Ariana, who appeared in the slow-motion video in a sheer black bodysuit and strappy high heels, was quick to fire back.

“She needs to work on her legs…” commented the critic.

“I work on my sexy legs almost every day,” Ariana joked.

“I’d break your neck with my thighs, but I’ll never let you get close enough to touch me.”
