“Seeing my name up there with people that I’ve admired in life and in this industry for years is really incredible,” Madix told TheWrap. For that reason, Madix always tries to show her support for the islanders “without, of course, breaking that wall too much.” Madix first had a guest spot on “Love Island USA” before joining as host in Season 6. Her appointment as host also aligned with “Love Island USA’s” meteoric rise into the cultural zeitgeist, with Season 8 standing as Peacock’s most-watched original season ever at nearly 19 billion minutes viewed. And she’ll stay on the “Love Island” train “as long as they’ll have me.”
