If you're over 18, single, and not shy about sharing your romantic life on camera, this could be your shot. The show's producers are looking for new contestants. It's not just about winning the money, although the $100,000 prize doesn't hurt. It's about showing up, turning heads and maybe finding a real connection in front of the entire country. It's also the chance to be part of a show that's taken over summer TV and social media for years now. Think you've got it? Or at least want to try? The casting call is out there now, and producers are already reviewing submissions. The application form is up on It's open to US residents who are at least 18 years old.

You'll have to share a lot – about your past, your dating life, your personality, even your social media. Some of the questions include: What's the hardest thing you've gone through? Do you fall in love easily? Ever used OnlyFans or been in adult content? Do your parents' relationship affect how you date? You'll also need to drop your Instagram and TikTok handles. They want to see your vibe. Public presence matters. The show sticks to the same idea: contestants (called Islanders) couple up, new people arrive, drama unfolds. You stay in the game by being in a couple. If you're left out, you're at risk of being sent home. Viewers vote. People switch partners. Emotions run high. At the end, one couple wins $100,000. Sometimes they share it. Sometimes they don't. Nothing's confirmed yet. But fans think Ariana Madix might return. She hosted Season 7 and is expected to co-host the reunion with Andy Cohen.

Love Island USA Season 7 winners Amaya and Bryan open up on their plans for spending the prize money
The winners of Love Island USA season 7, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, are all set to celebrate after being crowned the winners of Love Island USA season 7. The two have revealed how they are planning to spend the prize money. Once declared winners, Amaya and Bryan were given envelopes—Amaya's had $0, while Bryan's had $100,000, which he chose to share with her. In an interview following the episode, which was also posted on Love Island's social media, Madix asked the winners how they plan to spend their respective $50,000, and Amaya immediately had an answer. "I actually do want to donate to a charity," she said. "I want to give back to a community; that's one of my biggest passions—[which] he asked [about] early on—is just me leaving a positive impact [on] a group of people who are in need." Bryan's ideas for using the prize money are much like his partner's. After winning, the Casa Amor boy revealed that he does "definitely want to invest the money," though he has other plans as well. "But I also, like I told her, mental health awareness is extremely important to me," he shared, echoing what Amaya had said. "I went through it when I was younger, and I definitely want to help little kids face their emotions and everything growing up." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Is a Family Trust, and How Do You Set One Up?
