Peacock Summer is back in session! And with it comes “Love Island USA” Season 8 on Peacock, complete with host Ariana Madix, narrator Iain Stirling and a new set of single islanders looking to find love. Things officially kick off with the arrival of marketing director and Georgia native Aniya Harvey, who says she’s looking for a husband and expects a ring by the end of the season and fellow Georgian Kenzie Annis, who finished nursing school a day before flying out to Fiji. She says she’s “revirginized because it’s been a year and a half.” Next up is Melanie Moreno from Philadelphia/Los Angeles, who says she doesn’t use the term girl’s girl — “If you hear that shit, red fucking flag” – which may or may not be in reference to the Season 7 contestants that repeated the line throughout their run. Rounding out the group of women is Paralympian Beatriz Hatz and Trinity Tatum. Hatz is from San Diego, runs track and field and considers herself competitive, while Tatum, who quit her hardware store job for “Love Island,” jokes that she’s “a personality hire” and is looking for a “golden retriever” type of man. The sixth female contestant (Vasana Montgomery) was kicked off the show after a video of her singing along to racial slurs surfaced.
