Hosted by Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix, the show exploded in popularity, thanks in part to fitness coach Huda Mustafa. She’s a mommy. A mamacita.
With exceptional heel-clicking skills, Mustafa and her fellow islanders have become Dallas’ guilty pleasure. The show airs new episodes nightly, except Wednesdays, and local bars are flipping their TVs from ESPN to Peacock for midnight ballerina allegations and this season’s juicy twist: Casa Amor, where newly sparked couples put their relationship to the test with a new batch of singles in a second villa.
Secure your seat before the July 13 season finale.
