Love Island USAhas proven it isn’t afraid to bring in a guest star to host a challenge and shake things up, just like they did when Bravo reality starPaige DeSorbo guest hostedthe show’s “Got Wood?” challenge on the June 15 episode. Despite Paige’s appearance being short (she reportedly left before they could do a reshoot of the challenge, which is why she only appears in the beginning of the challenge),Islanders and fans alike were thrilled to see mega-Love Islandfan Paige. Paige has been an outspoken fan ofLove Island, and she’s not the only one.
It can pay off to be a vocal fan of the show, since host Ariana Madix famously claimed that her former boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, wouldn’t watch the show with her. After their seismic break-up, Ariana was named as the host ofLove Island USAseason 6, bringing with her legions of reality fans who loved her fromVanderpump Rulesthat followed her to the villa. Ariana’s casting opened the show up to an entirely new audience of reality TV fans who love messy drama. Here are other picks for guest hosts who would thrive onLove Island USAseason 7.
5Andy Cohen
Andy Would Keep Everyone In Line
If there’s anyone who would be a master at managing all of the emotions and chaos on the island, it’s Andy Cohen. He’s made a career out of amplifying women on reality television, and as the ringmaster for the majority of the network’s reunions,Andy has a knack for keeping calmand keeping things on track. Andy would be an ideal guest to host a challenge, perhaps like the “Body Count” game, where contestants have to reveal personal details about their sexual history, or the “Kissing Booth Challenge,” since it would make for some revealing switch-ups.
Andy is also employed by Bravo, which is owned by NBCUniversal, which also owns Peacock. Andy’s guest spot would bekeeping it all in the NBC family, much like when Paige appeared and when Ariana joined the show. It’s probably a lot less paperwork to get these Bravolebrities signed up forLove Island USA, when you think about it.
4Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia
Brianna Went Through A High-Profile Break-Up
Rumors have been rampant on social media thatBarstool Sports personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia will be heading to theLove Island USAvilla, like in this video posted by TikTok creator @sammysamslife. While many are sure Brianna would join the show as a bombshell, it’s more likely they’d bring in someone recognizable like her as a guest host. Brianna, best known for her podcasts on Barstool Sports, found herself at the center of scandal last year when her break-up with country superstar Zach Bryan exploded and caused a flurry of diss tracks, lawsuits, NDAs, and more.
Brianna had dated Zach for a little over a year, but their break-up (and Zach’s offer of $12 million to keep her quiet) made major headlines when Brianna denied the money and refused to sign anything that would take away her voice. Her boss, Dave Portnoy, even got involved, andBrianna was able to open up about the emotional abuse she’d endured. Brianna became an icon for women who felt like they’d been silenced.
Brianna’s been dropping cryptic hintson social media about being out of town for a few upcoming weeks, and she revealed that she had prerecorded episodes of her podcast,BFFs, in her absence. She also shared on her Instagram story that she’d be taking time off from social media, but her team would be posting on her behalf. Sounds like someone’s getting ready to hit the shores of Fiji for a chance at finding true love, or even just guest hosting a challenge, right?
3Chrissy Teigen
The Model Is An Avid Love Island Fan
Chrissy is more than just a model, she’s a media personality who has never hidden her love forLove Island. During the pandemic, theDaily Mailreported thatChrissy became an outspoken critic of the showon her social media. She’s clearly very passionate aboutLove Island, both the US and UK versions. Chrissy is also a major fan of Bravo shows, so she’s appeared onWatch What Happens Live With Andy Cohenmany times, making her friendly to the Peacock producers.
Chrissy recently did a stint onDeal Or No Deal Island, another Peacock reality show, soshe’s not opposed to cameos on her favorite reality TV shows. Chrissy is outspoken and not afraid to tell it like it is. She’d be a welcome presence on the island.
2The PPG: Leah Kateb, JaNa Craig And Serena Page
Leah, JaNa And Serena Appeared On Love Island USA Season 6
Undoubtedly,the stars ofLove Island USAseason 6 were none other than the Powerpuff Girls, as they referred to themselves, or the PPG: Leah Kateb, JaNa Craig, and Serena Page. The three contestants formed a bond with each other that took them through the entire season. They each ended up leaving the show with a partner: Kordell Beckham with Serena, who won the show; Miguel Harichi with Leah, and Kenny Rodriguez with JaNa.
All three couples are currently still going strong.
Serena, Leah, and JaNa’s friendship survived the show, and the three are still close today. They’ll all be appearing on theLove Islandspin-off,Love Island: Beyond The Villa, when it premieres on July 13 on Peacock. These girls madeLove Island USAseason 6 so memorable, and their fans would love to see them descend on the villa again, this time on the other side as guest hosts, rather than contestants. They know firsthand what it’s like to be onLove Island, and therefore, they’d be excellent choices.
1Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Loves To Be The Boss
Bethenny has become a somewhat polarizing figuresince her debut onThe Real Housewives of New Yorkback in 2008. Undoubtedly one of the most successfulHousewivesalumni, Bethenny has taken her voice to social media, where she regularly posts TikToks about a variety of topics: current events, beauty tips, and where to find the best chicken salad in the Hamptons.
Bethenny has posted her opinions onLove Islandbefore, and she’s been documenting how she feels about the current season, which she’s watching with her daughter, Bryn Hoppy, 14.Bethenny would be an unexpected choiceto appear on the show in some capacity, especially since she’s been on the outs with Bravo for years. Still, Bethenny would keep the Islanders in line, and probably hand out a dose of her no-nonsense advice on finding love in the villa.
Love Island USAairs new episodes daily (except Wednesdays) at 9 p.m. EDT on Peacock.
