Reading time: 2 minutes
A new contestant has entered the villa.
The annual “show of the summer” is back, and we have 256 representation this year.
Keep reading to learn more about the Decatur native, Olandria, making her reality TV debut tomorrow night.
About the show
Following the widespread success of its British predecessor, Love Island USA has aired every summer since 2019.
Love Island is a reality show that airs 6 days a week, in hour-long increments. It focuses on a group of 10 or more singles looking for love and captures every moment of their day, from waking to sleeping.
The show takes place in an exotic location every year, with season 7 taking place in Fiji. The islanders face challenges as they “couple up” with one another, triggering potential breakups, “re-couplings” and more.
Meet Olandria
Olandria, a 27-year-old elevator saleswoman from Decatur, is having the summer of a lifetime — she was selected alongside a group of 10 to compete on the new season of Love Island USA.
She’s the second North Alabamian in a row to make the cast. Season 6 featured Robert Rausch (@robert_rausch), from Florence, AL.
A recent first-generation graduate of Tuskegee University, Olandria has a degree in Supply Chain Management and she is hoping to meet a man on the island who will “court” her — she is a self-proclaimed Southern belle, after all.
Where to watch
Season 7 premieres Tuesday, June 3 at 8PM CT on PeacockTV, and will have six brand new episodes weekly.
Make sure to vote for Olandria weekly on the Love Island USA app.
