Forget the Carolina coast. One local woman has headed to Fiji for the new season of “Love Island USA.”
The newest season of the hit reality dating show returns Tuesday, June 3, with 10 singles from across the U.S. hoping for a tropical romance. The lineup includes one contestant from North Carolina: Huda Mustafa, a fitness coach from Raleigh.
‘More temptation and more drama’
“As the sexy Islanders search for love in the tropical oasis, they will couple up to face heart-racing challenges, bigger twists and turns than ever before, and return of Casa Amor,” a Peacock blog post about the new season says.
“New bombshells arrive to shake things up in the villa, forcing Islanders to decide if they want to remain with their current partners or recouple with someone new.”
Just as in seasons past, fans will be able to vote for their favorite pairs through the Love Island USA app, deciding who will stay in the villa or venture back home. Among the first Islanders looking for love this season, Mustafa is the only contestant from North Carolina.
“I’m looking for somebody who is my lifelong partner. I don’t want a guy who’s at the club texting a million different girls. I’m tired of going on stupid dates. Love Island, find me a man,” she said in the Season 7 trailer.
