‘Love Island USA' Season 7: Meet the Cast
The days are getting longer and the temperatures hotter, which means it's time for Love Island USA to take another trip to Fiji. The American take on the UK's beloved dating show is returning for a new season this summer, and we finally have our first look at the season 7 cast!
Love Island USA announced the season 7 cast of singles with a new promo on Thursday, May 29. In the short clip, the singles are shown wearing their beachy best and declaring themselves ready for love—or at least, for hook-ups. (It's too early to predict who could be this season's Kordell and Serena, but I have a few early guesses.)
According to an official Peacock press release, the season will feature new couples challenges, a lot of twists, and a few surprise guests. As always, viewers will vote to keep their favorite couples in Fiji and eventually crown a winner. (Remember, you need to download the Love Island USA app to vote!)
Now, let's meet the Love Island USA season 7 contestants, shall we?

How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank: Schedule, Peacock stream info, match card, preview, predictions
'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes is back and he's out for revenge against the man who cost him the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena. Rhodes will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso to face Cena and Logan Paul in a star-studded tag team clash at WWE Money in the Bank Saturday, streaming live at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Two weeks ago, Cena continued his reign of terror by attempting to sabotage Jey in his title defense against Paul, before Rhodes appeared for the first time since WrestleMania to save Jey, setting up Saturday's tag team match. As part of his goal to ruin pro wrestling before he retires at the end of the year, Cena has said he would love nothing more than to leave the World Heavyweight Championship in the hands of the social media star. 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK! 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK TO STOP JOHN CENA FROM SCREWING OVER JEY USO! #SNME Seth Rollins will headline the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and will face five Superstars still looking to win their first world championship in WWE. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, El Grande Americano and Rollins will hope to climb the ladder and seize the contract suspended above the ring that guarantees them a championship match at a time of their choosing. This year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will feature three Superstars who were called up to the main roster within the last few weeks. Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer will try to outmaneuver each other and former world champions Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Naomi for the right to call themselves Ms. Money in the Bank. And Lyra Valkyria will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship in what is sure to be a heated rematch against Becky Lynch. Last month at Backlash, Valkyria successfully defended the title, only to be viciously attacked by Lynch post-match. The following week, Valkyria retaliated by sabotaging Lynch in her Money in the Bank qualifying match. And if the stakes weren't already high enough, if Lynch loses Saturday, she has agreed to never again challenge Valkyria for the Intercontinental title. But if Lynch prevails, Valkyria has agreed to raise Lynch's hand and acknowledge her as the victor. How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank on Peacock Date: Saturday, June 7 Time: 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT Streaming: Peacock Location: Intuit Dome (Inglewood, CA) 2025 WWE Money in the Bank match card* Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Solo Sikoa vs. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins vs. Penta vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship *Card subject to change 2025 WWE Money in the Bank predictions Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul With the Undisputed title not on the line Saturday, it could be an opportunity for Rhodes to get some payback for his loss at WrestleMania, while keeping the belt on Cena. But ultimately, it doesn't seem productive to slow Cena's heel run in any way with so many potential dream matches that could take place before he retires at the end of the year, such as against CM Punk. PREDICTION: John Cena and Logan Paul defeat Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match Seth Rollins' new villainous faction has grown even stronger with the addition of Bronson Reed, and eventually Rollins is going to need some gold around his waist to properly stand tall as the leader of the group, à la Triple H in Evolution. A Rollins victory would also give Paul Heyman something to hold on his way to the ring again. PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match It feels too early for any of the recent main roster call-ups to wield the Money in the Bank briefcase and Rhea Ripley doesn't need it. And surely there's no way they would let Naomi utter the 'it wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair' line to Bianca Belair on SmackDown last week without a big payoff, right? PREDICTION: Naomi wins the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship I'm so conflicted by this one, so I'm going to go out on a limb here. In order to avoid having the promising young Valkyria raise Lynch's hand in defeat, while also booking 'The Man' strong for her eventual feud with Bayley, Valkyria wins Saturday by disqualification after a merciless attack by Lynch. And perhaps Bayley returns to save Valkyria. Remember, Lynch admitted to injuring Bayley backstage before WrestleMania in order to take her place as Valkyria's tag team partner and the feud between the two legendary Four Horsewomen does not need a belt. PREDICTION: Lyra Valkyria defeats Becky Lynch by disqualification to retain the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

Rick Mercer's long finished ‘Talking to Americans,' but he's got new ways to address neighbourly tension
TORONTO - Rick Mercer picks up the bottle of sparkling water he just ordered, puts on his glasses and inspects the label. 'Where's that from? We're not having that in the shot if it's American. Jeez,' he says, glancing at the video camera with an impish smile. It's a product of Italy, but he moves it out of the shot anyway. 'Are we rolling?' We are. On this Tuesday afternoon in late spring, Mercer sits in a booth by the window at a Toronto restaurant. The sparkling water, his now-discarded reading glasses and some notes he doesn't reference are the only things in front of him as he promotes his new comedy tour, 'Stand-Up for Canada,' which gets underway in September. The show's message, he says, meets the moment: one in which U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed punishing tariffs on Canada and threatened this country's sovereignty. 'That has permeated almost every aspect of our lives, but it actually hasn't impacted my act at all. I'm doing the same act,' he says. 'I decided a long time ago that everything I do was going to be celebrating the country.' Mercer believes people are looking for that now more than ever, given the animosity that's developed between Canada and the United States: a relationship that is in some ways foundational to our national self-image. 'If you want to have that conversation about what it means to someone to be Canadian, you've really got to dig because the first thing that nine out of 10 Canadians will do is they'll start talking about how we're different than Americans, which is no way to define yourself,' he says. 'What's happening in the country now — people are standing in the middle of drugstores Googling what's a Canadian toothpaste, and they're reading labels in the ways that they've never read before, and their making choices about whether they'll eat a kiwi fruit — that's new. But I think it's always been there: Canadians, we're a proud country, there's no doubt about it.' Playing off of this cross-border kinship is part of how Mercer became a household name north of the 49th parallel. His wildly popular segment 'Talking to Americans' took off on CBC's 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' and spawned an hour-long comedy special in April 2001. More than two million viewers tuned into the special to watch Mercer ask Americans leading questions about Canada based on ludicrous stereotypes. Would they consider a visit to our national igloo? What do they think of Canada's national dish, the beaver ball? 'It really was one joke over and over again, but it was a joke that Canadians really enjoyed,' he says. The execution of that joke relied on two things, Mercer says: Americans' ignorance about Canada and their goodwill towards Canadians. 'I was aware that by and large Americans knew nothing about Canada. But they did know we were the neighbours, and they wanted to be only generous and kind to the neighbours,' he says. 'That has clearly changed somewhat. People are very suspicious of Canada. I think Americans are more suspicious of everyone, both inside their country, their neighbours, and then outside their country as well.' That Americans are looking more closely at Canada is one of many reasons the bit wouldn't work today, Mercer says. The list also includes the general mistrust in mainstream media and the likelihood that once-unsuspecting Americans might recognize him from online clips. For his purposes, that's OK. It seems like it's time to look inward rather than measuring ourselves against others, he says: 'In order for Canada to be good, Denmark doesn't have to be bad.' The temptation to focus on the giant underneath us is ever-present, but Mercer is practised at resisting it. He left 'Talking to Americans' behind when he launched his flagship TV show, 'Rick Mercer Report,' in 2004. Over the course of 15 seasons, he travelled across the country, poking fun at politicians along the way. 'When I was doing 'Mercer Report,' one of the big learning curves that writers who worked on the show had to deal with was that in our universe that we created, America didn't exist. Like, it really didn't. We were just like, 'we don't talk about that.'' Americans got enough attention elsewhere, he says, so if the show talked about entertainment, it wouldn't be American entertainment. If it talked politics, it wouldn't be American politics. Whether his September tour will take the same tack remains to be seen. It's early yet, he says, but he doesn't foresee dunking on the United States overmuch. Tickets go on sale later this week, but he isn't due to hit the road until Sept. 11, performing 22 shows in 38 days alongside comedians Sophie Buddle, Mayce Galoni and Julie Kim. This is Mercer's third standup tour. He's leaned into live performance since leaving TV behind in 2018. Last year, he toured in conversation with musician Jann Arden. He also wrote two memoirs, 'Talking to Canadians,' about everything leading up to 'Rick Mercer Report,' and 'The Road Years' about the time he spent on the show. 'If you're in my business, if you're creating TV shows, if you're doing one-man shows — which I used to do in my early 20s — if you're writing books, if you're writing scripts, it really helps if you love your subject matter. And my subject matter has always been my country,' he says. 'And I'm not saying it's perfect, not by a long shot. It's just, that's someone else's lane. Right now it's all about celebrating.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025.

Lorenzo Musetti avoids French Open disqualification after kicking ball at line judge
Italian eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti was lucky not to be disqualified from the French Open after kicking a ball at a line judge. In the second set of his quarter-final against American Frances Tiafoe, Musetti booted the ball in frustration and it hit the woman, standing about three metres away, in the chest. Advertisement Tiafoe looked stunned at the other end of the court and gestured towards the umpire, who eventually gave Musetti a code violation. There were echoes of Novak Djokovic being defaulted at the 2020 US Open after accidentally hitting a female line judge with a ball. Tiafoe, the 15th seed, said: "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened. I think that's comical, but it is what it is. "Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Former player-turned broadcaster Rennae Stubbs wrote on X: "Wow Musetti is very lucky to be still on court right now. You cannot kick a ball and it hit the lines person and not be defaulted." Advertisement Musetti, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year, won the match 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-2 to progress to the last four at Roland Garros for the first time. He said: "Yeah, I was a little bit, honestly, scared, because I really didn't want to harm nobody, of course. "So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said 'sorry', I apologise to everyone. "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that, and that's why probably just, you know, let me continue my game." The French Open is the only one of the four Grand Slams to still use line judges rather than electronic line calling. Advertisement Former British No1 Tim Henman was defaulted in a Wimbledon doubles match in 1995 when a ball he hit across the net after a point had finished struck a ball kid. Henman, part of TNT Sports and Eurosport's coverage of Roland Garros, said: "By the letter of the law, if you hit or kick a ball away in frustration and it hits a ball boy, line judge, or umpire, that can be a disqualification. "When you look at that, the umpire could have interpreted that as a disqualification. However, if Musetti was disqualified for that, Musetti would feel very unlucky and aggrieved. "When you're kicking a ball away, you've either got to be a better footballer and kick it in the right direction, or you are risking something like that." Advertisement Musetti will meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who steamrollered American 12th seed Tommy Paul 6-0 6-1 6-4 in another one-sided night match. "I'm sorry you wanted to watch more tennis. I had to do my work," Alcaraz told the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd afterwards.
