Ariana Madix Reveals What ‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ Stars Should NEVER Do TRANGHO

The island queen spills the tea on rookie mistakes and what contestants must avoid if they want to survive post-villa fame.

If you’re missing the cast of Love Island USA season six, you’re not alone, and you won’t have to miss them much longer. Several familiar faces from last season are set to return to our screens this summer in a hotly-anticipated spin-off called Love Island: Beyond the Villa. While Love Island USA host Ariana Madix will not be a part of the new show, she has graciously shared some sage advice with the cast as they prepare for this next chapter.

Ariana Madix has spent the last decade of her life on reality television, starring on nine seasons of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules. After her headline grabbing on-screen breakup with costar and longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval, Ariana was catapulted to a new level of fame, becoming one of the most prominent reality stars in the world nearly overnight. Though she had previously been a supporting character, her powerful post-breakup presence on Vanderpump Rules made her the star of the show and earned her several awards. She has firmly cemented herself as a reality TV icon. With that kind of experience under her belt, there is no one better suited than Ariana to offer islanders words of wisdom as they get ready to step into the spotlight of their own show.

Ariana Knows Best

Last week, Ariana stopped by Decider to discuss all things Love Island. When asked if she had any advice to extend to the stars of Beyond the Villa, Ariana shared a suggestion that, though simple, is essential in making compelling television: “You can’t go wrong if you’re just being yourself.” That’s exactly what made the season six cast so beloved; viewers grew fond of their authenticity, their unfiltered personalities, and their genuine relationships. That same authenticity is what fans are hoping to see more of in the spinoff. If the islanders try to manufacture drama or play up artificial characters, the magic that made them fan favorites might be lost.
