“Love Island USA” Season 7 is heating up on Peacock with the introduction of a new cast member, 26-year-old Zac Woodworth, who has roots in Portland. Although currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona, Woodworth’s social media showcases his ties to Oregon, including his time spent at the University of Oregon where he studied business administration, advertising, and management from 2017 to 2021.
The dating competition, set in a picturesque Fiji villa, tasks singles with forming connections in hopes of winning a grand prize of $100,000. This season marks the return of a notable twist: Casa Amor. As part of this twist, host Ariana Madix instructs the women to venture into Casa Amor, leaving their male counterparts behind, creating opportunities for all contestants to reevaluate their connections.
A significant shake-up is anticipated as all couples will uncouple, allowing both the men at the original villa and those at Casa Amor to explore new relationships with fresh arrivals, referred to as “bombshells.” This structural change is designed to bring new dynamics and excitement to the show, as islanders navigate unexpected romantic possibilities.
The cast of “Love Island USA” is further enriched this season by additional participants, including Bryan Arenales, Chris Seeley, and Courtney “CoCo” Watson, among others. Earlier episodes had seen another Oregon native, Isabelle “Belle-A” Walker, who was later eliminated.
The show is available for streaming on Peacock, with new episodes released regularly, keeping fans engaged in the unfolding drama and romance as singles mingle on the island.
This season promises to deliver captivating moments and unexpected relationships, embodying the show’s inherent unpredictability and entertainment value. As couples are poised to reevaluate their bonds, viewers can look forward to thrilling changes in the dynamics of the villa.
