Love Island USA Becomes America’s No. 1 Reality Series

The ratings have been placed, and it’s official. Love Island USA It’s a hit!

Peacock’s top brass are now on a victory lap, bragging about their massive ratings wins. They just announced that the new season of Love Island USA is the number one reality show on the streaming platform. Everyone has Ariana Madix to thank.

Peacock strikes gold with Love Island USA

Love Island USA season 6 premiered on Peacock on June 11, and since then, it has consistently been ranked by Neilsen as one of the top 10 reality TV shows online. This news should make Netflix very nervous as they have been pushing hard on the reality TV front this summer with new seasons of The Mole and Perfect Match.

It’s clear that some of Love Island USA’s recent success can be attributed to its newfound connection to the world of Vanderpump Rules. Many VPR fans tuned in to Love Island specifically to see Ariana. Then she showed up to the hosting gig wearing this unique, sexy outfit and won over the rest of America.

Of course, Love Island USA wasn’t a flop before Ariana. Seasons four and five on Peacock were also successful. The show is still available online on Peacock, along with a few spinoffs and other international releases.

However, there is something very special about season six. Ariana is there. The islanders are very chaotic. It feels like they have finally perfected the recipe for this version of the franchise.

The success of Love Island USA is the latest in a series of reality TV successes for Peacock. Deal or No Deal Island and The Traitors have also been huge hits for the platform. They are hugely popular and show no signs of slowing down, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

New episodes of Love Island USA air on Peacock, Thursdays and Tuesdays at 9/8c.
