Ariana Madix is teasing the upcoming Love Island USA Season 8 reunion and revealing that there will be an unseen footage show.
The special was filmed on August 10 and is set to stream on Peacock on Monday, August 31 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, but the dating series host gave insight into what viewers can expect.
“Everybody came there ready to say exactly how they feel, and if they had a chip on their shoulder or something they wanted to bring up, they were ready to come and talk about it,” the Emmy-nominated host told Entertainment Weekly.
She continued, “And, of course, in talking about it, depending on who you’re talking about or the situation, it went many different directions, but I think that it was the perfect conclusion to the season.”
Madix noted that viewers will get a “lot of unseen footage,” which “cleared a lot of things,” for the Islanders as well, adding, “That was really interesting for me because I only got to see it for [the first time] as well.”
Madix will be joined by Andy Cohen as they both co-host the Love Island USA Season 8 reunion.
The special will reunite the Islanders after leaving the villa, crowning Trinity Tatum and Bryce Alakai as the winning couple. Other fellow Islanders set to make an appearance include Aniya Harvey, Melanie Moreno, Kayda Bosse, Dylan Wrona, Kenzie Annis, Corbin Mims, Caleb McDaniel, Tierra “Titi” Davis and KC Chandler. The first dumped Islander, Sean Reifel, was also at the reunion, as well as early favorites Beatriz Hatz and Sol Dean.
