Love Island USA Season 6: Preview
It was another swoon-worthy summer of Love Island USA as the couples tried to survive the sexy trials and tribulations of villa life over an entire month in paradise, with the public's favorite pair going home with $100,000 in cash. Read our guide below for how to watch Love Island USA Season 6 online and from anywhere now.
Arriving hot on the heels of Love Island UK Season 11, Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix – replacing former US presenter Sarah Hyland – welcomed a new coterie of contestants to Love Island, a place where the adage “sun's out, guns out” is legally binding. And viewers can rely on the cheeky trademark narration of Iain Stirling to spice up the show’s amorous antics.
You know the drill by now: islanders were partnered up based on first impressions, testing their chemistry before an onslaught of smoking-hot “bombshells” entered the villa to try and turn their heads. If the lure of another is strong, then recoupling ceremonies gave contestants a chance to try their luck with someone else. There was always the risk, however, of anyone left solo being dumped from the island.
So, who bought their A-Game to the iconic villa? This season’s lineup included Serena King, a media planner looking for a “short king” to snuggle up to, and 21-year-old Kordell Beckham, younger brother of NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Meanwhile, viewers might have recognised ripped Brit Aaron Evans, the Season 1 winner of The Traitors UK, in addition to snake wrangler Rob Rausch, who spent five days on the island last season before being dumped.
It was an unmissable month of steamy drama and rocky island romance and you can catch up ahead of the upcoming Reunion Special with our guide below, where we explain how to watch Love Island USA Season 6 online and stream every episode of the hit dating series from anywhere.

Love Island USA Season 6 Episode Recap
Episode 1:
It was open season on grade-A hotties as Love Island USA made its sizzling Season 6 debut. And the blonde bombshell to enter the villa first? Incoming host Ariana Madix, who welcomed our ten buff, bronzed, and charismatic contestants to their sexy new island home.
After female contestants Kaylor, Serena, JaNa, Leah, and Hannah had gotten acquainted, Ariana introduced five strapping guys and gathered everyone around the fire pit. Sparks flew as they discussed relationship goals, pets, and pet peeves. Kordell and Serena, both from Houston and wearing matching pea green outfits, were vibing like crazy. But would they chose each other based on first impressions?
In the first Season 6 twist, coupling up was preceded by a game of Ice Breakers, basically an excuse for the islanders to madly snog each other. Then the moment we’d all been waiting for: the coupling ceremony! Kaylor made a beeline towards Brit contestant Aaron, while 6 foot 8 inch Coye was swarmed by Hannah, JaNa, and Serena. But – was it kismet? – Serena ended the episode partnered up with Kordell, and we're living for their giddy chemistry.
Now, with the introduction of THREE bombshells coming up, we'll soon find out whether these initial bonds are robust enough to survive the Love Island rollercoaster.
Episode 2:
Hear that? That’s the sound of three new islanders carpet bombing the Love Island Villa! Olivia was the first in, and was asked to steal any man of her choosing. Although reluctant to break up any couple, she decided to partner with snake wrangler Rob. This left both Rob and Leah spinning. But all the ladies perked up when heartthrobs Connor and Hakeem sauntered through the door.
Like two Greek statues brought to life, they immediately began grafting with the girls. You could almost hear Aaron’s muscles deflate when square-jawed Adonis Connor pulled his girl Kaylor aside to chat – and later share a kiss in the Soul Ties nook. The charismatic Hakeem benched Kaylor in the garden, but he was clicking most with Leah and Hannah, who, with their dark hair and fair skin, were most definitely his type.
The day concluded with Rob trying to juggle both Liv and Leah, though admittedly being more intimate with 24-year-old Leah, before Iain Sterling informed viewers that – *gasp* – tomorrow night would see one of the boys dumped from the island…
Episode 3:
There was love and a whole lot of trouble in paradise last night. Hannah found herself on the fence between Kendall and Hakeem, while JaNa’s head was turned by beefcake Connor – a surprise considering how happy she’d seemed with Coye. A game of “Kings and Queens” gave everyone cause for concern, with the islanders competing in two teams to guess which contestants “body count” was “higher or lower” than the last. The revelations definitely caused some consternation – especially for JaNa when she found out Coye had lied to her about sleeping with 150 different women.
Then it happened…they got a text! Officiating the season’s first recoupling, host Ariana gathered the islanders around the fire pit as the girls chose the boy they wanted to couple up with. The person left standing solo? They’d be sent packing. Liv picked Hakeem – realizing that, after spying Rob smooching Leah, he wasn't worth pursuing – and Serena recommitted to Kordell. Finally, JaNa was up. She had the hardest decision: stick with the strong, silent 6’8” Coye, or take a chance on gym bunny Connor. Unexpectedly, she decided to pick Connor – leaving the islanders to say their tearful farewells to Coye as he departed by the neon “Loves Me Not” sign.
Episode 4:
Cross words and buckets of water were hurled post that first recoupling. Hannah was pissed at Hakeem for repeating that she was “50/50” between him and Kendall. Hearing that left Kendall crestfallen, and so Hannah tried to reassure him that he was her number one priority. Meanwhile, Liv was livid at Rob for not being honest and sneakily snogging Leah. Surely the wet and wild “Vacation Vixens” challenge would allow everyone to let off some steam?
Not exactly. In revealing swimsuits, the girls provocatively descended a slip and slide before scrabbling around in the sand for a bottle with a question inside about their fellow islanders. It was the perfect passive-aggressive way to settle scores as the men stood around in their speedos. Leah, answering who was the most two-faced, picked her man Rob and doused him in a bucket of water. Getting a similar question, Liv made a beeline for her bestie Kaylor, then suddenly turned and hurled the water at Leah. *Shocked cat emoji*. True to form, Rob was next on her bucket hit list.
The fires of jealousy and confusion had certainly been stoked. Kendall was ready to call it a day over Hannah’s “50/50” comment, made worse by her decision to snog Hakeem in the challenge. Serena was suddenly feeling that she and Kordell might just be friends. And Hakeem was at the centre of more drama after Kaylor also shared a passionate clinch with him during their game of “Vacation Vixens”, leaving a heartbroken Aaron on the verge of ending things with Kaylor.
As the episode concluded, Iain Sterling declared that Sunday would see “two hot bombshells with explosive agendas” – he did say “agendas”, right? – entering the villa to amp up the relationship drama. It looks like it’s going to be make or break time for three couples at least.
Episode 5:
Saturday saw the debut of Love Island USA: Aftersun, the Love Island chat show hosted by former UK contestant Maura Higgins. Maura got all the gossip from host Ariana Madix, consoled the recently “dumped” Coye Simmons, and welcomed hot new bombshells Andrea and Nicole to the show ahead of their explosive introduction on Sunday night.
Episode 6:
JaNa and Connor rightly observed that they were an oasis of calm amid an inferno of relationship drama sweeping through the villa. In addition to Aaron’s trust issues with Kaylor after kissing Hakeem and the growing distance between Kendall and Hannah, Serena’s partnership with Kordell was dealt its death blow. She confessed that she just wasn’t feeling that romantic spark, and the duo courteously called it quits. Kendall confirmed to his bros that he’d been “friendzoned low key,” but he had no hard feelings.
Then Connor received a text. “Islanders – it’s time to undress to impress.” Undress? Not to be a prude, but these guys are practically nude as it is. The girls adorned their sexiest lingerie while the men waltzed about in their boxers. Series host Ariana crashed the party to deliver some kinky gifts, before buxom bombshells Andrea and Nicole made their explosive introductions to the villa. Focusing their attentions on Rob, Kendall, Kordell and Aaron, who were either blindfolded or in fluffy restraints, the girls made a steamy show of tempting them from their current partners. Leah was less than impressed. Was she in danger of losing Rob to another woman once again?
Episode 7:
The island’s latest temptresses certainly caused a stir. Arriving at the villa Sunday night during a raunchy underwear party, Andrea and Nicole didn’t so much turn heads as cause them to spin. “That is how you f**king bombshell!” Aaron gushed after his snog with Andrea, while Rob, having also been on the receiving end of her luscious lips, admitted he was “very, very attracted to that woman. I need her to have a terrible personality and have nothing in common with me.”
Then the moment Leah, Kaylor, and Hannah had been dreading – and that the boys had been dreaming of – arrived: Andrea got a text! “Andrea and Nicole. Today you will both be going on two dates. Please chose the first boy you want to get to know better.” Rob reassured Leah as he left hand in hand with Andrea, the 25-year-old Latina, while Nicole departed with the recently "friendzoned" Kordell – with Serena’s blessing. The islanders fed each other grapes and drank champagne at the beach, getting to know each other better. Then for Andrea's second date, she picked Aaron – and got lost in those dreamy blue eyes – while Kendall and Nicole vibed over their love of video games before making out.
After those romantic one-on-ones, do the OG girls have anything to fear from the hot new bombshells? Well, yes, probably. Rob admitted that his worst nightmare had come true: it turned out Andrea was easy on the eyes AND had a great personality. Although Rob said he was committed to Leah, he seemed incredibly into Andrea. The feeling was mutual. Andrea beamed as she told Nicole of her feelings for snake wrangler Rob, sharing that their kiss had been electric. At least JaNa had nothing to worry about. As Connor politely chatted with Andrea, he couldn’t help glancing over at JaNa as she deliberately struck some provocative yoga poses.
Episode 8:
A storm was brewing in the villa after Andrea and Nicole stole some boys for two beachside tête-à-têtes yesterday. A hurting Leah looked on as Rob lounged cosily beside Andrea in the Soul Ties area, pursuing his evident attraction to her and asking her the million-dollar question: “would you catch snakes with me?”
Liv goaded Leah to confront Rob and she testily interrupted his chat with Andrea. He seemed sincere in telling Leah that he really liked her, that she was hot as hell and an incredible person. But she seemed to think his words were softening the blow of an impending breakup. Trying to express his feelings, she continually cut him off, and Rob broke into tears before dramatically diving into the pool and disappearing out of sight under the pool deck. The Leah-Rob duo was evidently in trouble, while Hakeem felt uplifted after trading banter with Nicole, being more positive about her than with his current situationship with Liv.
It was a chilly night in paradise. Serena supported her pal Leah by sleeping outside with her under the Soul Ties sign. That left Kordell, recently “friendzoned” by Serena, to spend the night alone.
Waking a little shaken and stirred, the couples were soon pressed into making some momentous decisions. “Islanders, please gather at the fire pit immediately” the text to Hakeem read. Almost everyone groaned. Andrea and Nicole stood up and were told to pick the boy they’d like to couple up with. Yet the boys were also given the chance to throw their hat in the ring and potentially recouple with one of the bombshells. Kendall, Kordell, and Hakeem got on up. Aaron and Kaylor sat in sweet unity, while likewise Connor didn’t budge an inch from JaNa.
And then the drama. Out of nowhere, Rob stood up. He whispered “I’m sorry” to Leah before joining the other boys in front of the fire pit. Of the available men, Nicole picked the kind, confident Kendall. And, surprising absolutely no one, Andrea wanted to couple up with Rob, the second bombshell to do so. The tension was palpable. Leah was livid and Rob was clearly flustered when she mouthed the words “F**k off” to him during the recoupling ceremony.
Will Leah go on the warpath? Will Hakeem be stuck with Liv? And will Kordell and Serena ever get back together? Find out on Thursday when the next episode of Love Island airs.
Episode 9:
Breakdowns, flirtations, flaring tempers: passions were certainly running high at the Love Island villa. The recoupling ceremony had made a few girls feel some kind of way. Leah went nuclear after Rob left her to explore a relationship with Andrea instead, and refused to feel sorry for him after she’d he'd been stolen from her twice, angrily shouting, “you have gained something each time and I’ve lost something each time.”
Meanwhile, Liv was surprised that Hakeem wasn’t happy with her after he shot at the chance to couple up with Andrea or Nicole. Pulling her aside to chat, Hakeem said they’d had problems for a while. Liv called him immature and sent a volley of curse words his way. Was it insensitive, or kind of true when he said she was “the most negative person in the house […] Like, 100%”? Needless to say, that comment didn’t go down well.
And unexpectedly, the Rob and Leah drama had repercussions for JaNa. As she told Connor how grateful she was to be with someone so calm and collected, Connor calmly and collectedly told her he wanted to get to know other people: Leah, to be precise. JaNa…you jinxed it! She smiled, saving her disappointment for the on-camera confessional.
At least Rob and Andrea were happy, with Rob admitting being around her made him feel “like a little kid,” while Kordell and Serena seemed to be making their way back to each other – yay #Sordell! They even spent the night in the same bed.
And then Serena got a text. “Islanders, pucker up. Tonight you will take part in a kissing game presented by Maybelline.” Things were about to get spicy! The “Kissing Booth” challenge saw the boys line up first, sporting noise cancelling headphones and a blindfold, as each of the female contestants made their way down the line for a sexy smooch.
There was a lot of lip smacking, tongue lashing, and just a little shade. Connor commented that Liv’s kiss was “a little more tooth than tongue” and Leah laughably said that “Hakeem was like a mosquito that you kept trying to kill, but it just wouldn’t die.”
Kaylor got the top score for the girls. But before we could find out how the boys rated and Aaron could have his sloppy…sixths?...dreamy new bombshell Miguel waltzed in and took his turn. And Rob was surely fuming when he reached Andrea, turned to him, and said, “I’ll be taking my time with this s**t. Sorry bro.”
The villa drama is reaching fever pitch and we can’t wait to see what happens next.
Episode 10:
Self-assured stud Miguel was like catnip to the ladies. After making his entrance during the “Kissing Booth” challenge (which Kendall won, closely followed by Miguel), the latest bombshell found the ladies flocking to him. Even the guys seemed to respect his game and good looks, with Aaron admitting that, “He’s everybody’s type.”
Almost instantly Miguel took JaNa aside to talk. He showered her with compliments, and it was just what she needed since Connor began gravitating to Leah. But all the women wanted a piece of him, and he was being pulled for chats left, right, and center. He even almost caused a rift between besties Serena and JaNa, when JaNa interrupted his chat with Serena to deliver a promised dinner of eggs. “These girls are playing tug of war with me” Miguel beamed.
Then, as Miguel was putting his moves on Nicole, Rob got a text. A recoupling ceremony was coming, and this time the boys were to choose which girl they wanted to couple with. The guys got all romantic and stuff when asked to choose their reasons for picking their partner. Aaron spoke sweetly about his bond with Kaylor, and they remained together. Kendall picked Nicole. Rob, while kind-of half-apologising to Leah, recommitted to Andrea. Connor did JaNa dirty, shadily saying that “this is not a difficult decision” as he left her for Leah. And Miguel, the lothario from London, decided to pick Aussie contestant Liv! Even she was shocked.
That left Hannah – effervescent, kind, booty-popping Hannah – standing dignified but solo in front of the fire pit, meaning that she had 30 minutes before being “dumped” from the island. The guys looked on solemnly, tears ran down the girls’ cheeks, and they all said their heartfelt goodbyes to the much loved contestant.
