Love Island USA season 7 ran from June through July to heat up the summer! After a bit of a delay, the reality dating show returned to Peacock on June 3 for another jam-packed installment of bikinis, bombshells, voting, and more drama than some viewers can handle (especially those who aren't used to the daily release schedule). This year's installment had a lot to live up to after the phenomenal heights of season 6, but producers found a new roster of Islanders who are very watchable.
