🌴 Counting Down to Love Island USA Reunion + My Season 1 Glow-Up

I can’t believe we’re finally so close to the Love Island Reunion! The big episode is set to air on August 25 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Peacock — mark your calendars because you won’t want to miss this!

Here’s what’s got me exceedingly excited:

  • It’s co-hosted by Ariana Madix (our ever-charismatic host) and the reunion king himself, Andy Cohen — they promise all the flair, shade, and realness.
  • The reunion is already being dubbed as the most “tense and toxic” reunion ever — with producers even hiring extra security. Expect arguments, interruptions, and probably some unforgettable TV moments.
  • We’re also getting an extended version of the heart-rate challenge, including unseen moments between Huda, Chelley, and Olandria — Andy himself called it “pretty dramatic.”

And yes, the gossip mill is already spinning - engagement rumors are flying around Nic and Olandria (aka “Nicolandria”), thanks to a comment Olandria made that left fans in a frenzy. Could the reunion be the place where things get revealed?

Bonus: Reliving Season 1 in Stunning Clarity

For me, the excitement has been so real that I decided to rewatch parts of Love Island USA Season 1 while waiting for the reunion. But here’s the fun part—I enhanced those clips with HitPaw VikPea, and it made such a huge difference. The show looks significantly sharper, with colors that pop, and it feels like I’m experiencing the first season all over again in almost 8K quality. It really gave me that nostalgic vibe but with a fresh, modern look.

So if you’re as hyped for the reunion as I am, maybe it’s the perfect time to dive back into the older seasons too. Trust me, with upgraded quality, you’ll catch details you probably never noticed before!

I’m counting down the days till August 25—who else is planning a watch party for the reunion? And if you’ve got any favorite Love Island moments from past seasons, let’s share them here while we wait!
