One of the most-watched dating shows is back on TV for its fifth season with the return of Love Island USA. If this is your first time watching Love Island, here’s how it works. A group of 10 bombshell singles travels to a secluded villa in Fiji to find love. Shortly after arrival, the contestants, or “islanders,” will be forced to pair up and start a relationship with a fellow Islander.
To stay in the villa, the islanders must remain in a relationship while competing in games and challenges thrown their way. If an islander is dumped and cannot “re-couple,” they face the risk of elimination. With a $100,000 grand prize at stake, the winning couple will be determined by fan vote. Hosted by Sarah Hyland and narrated by Ian Stirling, Love Island USA season 5 premieres on July 18. Find out where and how to watch the popular dating series.
