‘Love Island USA' Season 7 Casa Amor Twists
Love Island USA sure knows how to throw a curve ball. After a brutal double elimination—bye Jeremiah and Hannah—the islanders will be tested again this week. Yep, it's time for Casa Amor. And, according to host Ariana Madix, Love Island USA season 7's Casa Amor will be unlike any Casa Amor you've seen before. 'I have been told there will be more twist and turns to Casa than ever before,' Ariana teased during an appearance on Love Island USA: Aftersun. After confirming that the girls would be the ones moving this season, the host continued, 'They are going to start it very differently, getting the girls out, something they've never done before.' Way to keep it vague, Ariana! For those new to Love Island USA, Casa Amor is the 'ultimate test' twist in the game when the ladies and the men are separated—with one group leaving the villa for Casa Amor—and each group is tempted by a brand new group of bombshells. After a week of flirting and challenges and time away from their other halves, the group will reunite and be forced to decide whether or not they want to stay with their existing connections (should they have any) or explore something new and recouple. Traditionally, after Casa Amor, the two halves of a couple have to be in agreement—so if you want to recouple, you better be sure the other person wants to couple with you! Otherwise, you could end up single and vulnerable. Brutal, right? Keep in mind: all of this is subject to change. Ariana said that Casa Amor would be full of twists, so who knows what the show could have waiting in store for the Islanders? The identities of the Casa Amor bombshells haven't been released yet. However, we do know that there will be five new girls and six new boys coming in. Hopefully there's a man in there for Huda... Cassa Amor will officially unlock its doors on Monday, June 23 at 9 p.m. ET. Something tells me things are about to get heated.

Maura Higgins in major career milestone as she 'lands new TV deal'
Maura Higgins has reportedly landed a huge new deal for a TV show in the US. The Longford reality star, who made a name for herself on Love Island and I'm A Celebrity, has become a hit over in the US after she presented Love Island USA: Aftersun, the panel show that occurs during the dating show. With her popularity as host on the US version of the show that made her famous, it's been reported that Maura's coming back for another season. Maura Higgins has reportedly landed a huge new deal for a TV show in the US. Pic: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock 'Maura's signed on for a new series of Love Island USA,' a source told the Sun. 'She was so popular after the last season [that] it was clear bosses would sign her up.' And despite Maura landing herself in hot water following a drunken kiss with fellow I'm A Celeb castmate Danny Jones, that hasn't dissuaded producers of Love Island USA, with the source adding 'they don't care about any personal life drama she has in the UK. She's been a huge hit with US audiences.' Maura came fourth in I'm A Celeb, where she came seventh, but caused controversy at the BRIT awards earlier this year when she and the show's eventual winner Danny Jones at an after-party kissed — despite the McFly singer and guitarist being married. Maura presented on Love Island USA: Aftersun last year, before she headed to the I'm A Celeb jungle in Australia. Pic: Ben Symons/Peacock via Getty Images The pair remained tight lipped on the kiss, with Maura not speaking publicly about it — but a source said that Maura was 'mortified, and would do anything to erase what happened.' They added that the 31-year-old 'refuses to be labelled as the villain' and feels some of the backlash has been 'unjustified.' Maura has also since sworn off speaking to Danny again, with the source saying she 'insists she can't even remember the kiss.' Maura and her I'm A Celeb costar Danny Jones gained controversy following a drunken kiss at a BRITs after-party. Pic: ITV/REX/Shutterstock Danny finally addressed the controversy back in March, apologising to his wife and family on Instagram. 'Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me,' Danny wrote. 'I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately.'
