BIG MAMA
The search for true love is never easy, and for some, dating has been a disaster. But their luck is about to change. The world's most talked about dating show is back. I'm Ariana Madix....
And this is Love Island USA!
Guys, I'm ready to do the dance. Oh, they've left. America, we're back!. 11 sexy singles on a quest to find true love. And the chance to win a massive $100,000 prize. And once again, it's voiced over by the world's most talented comedian. Oi! I saw that.
For the next six weeks, our islanders will be living in a brand new villa because the last one burnt down. I mean, I'm amazed we invited those fire breathers back, to be completely honest.
"Big Mama's here!" A light skin young biracial woman with honey blonde hair popped up on the screen showing off her pearly whites and diamond grills on the bottom row..
STASSI: My name is Stassi Power. I'm twenty-two years old and I own a bar called The SWAMP . I was born and raised in Alabama and went to college in Atlanta so I'm like a soft swerve of country and city. This blonde, boobs, and ass...it's real and it costs money and time to maintain so if you can't handle the heat you gon have to get out the kitchen...because I'm not giving up my pilates membership that I paid six-hundred to join. Not gon lie to y'all..I'm a big ass kid with a deep wallet and attitude problem, but I'm also a sweetheart and super friendly. But when I'm mad or annoyed I can be...what's the best way to say this... venomous..just a warning.
I'm here at Love Island because why not? I think I'll be your favorite on the show. I'm going to be honest I've never felt the absence of a partner because I don't really care if a person leaves or not because at the end of the day imma still do me unapologetically. But my friends and family think I need someone to reign me back in and let me be in my soft girl era. I've never dated before because I know what I want and dudes was still figuring out that porn isn't real. So I've always been stuck in the we not together but we privately exclusive phase, because you not finna be attached to me and you're fucking embarrassing.
In my head my ideal guy physically is tall with some good looking hair and eyes. Like give Big Mama something to look at. Personality wise he has to be a country boy because they just do it better for me. Like sweep me off my feet after I'm done partying and take me back to our farm, cowboy. I also want a guy who gives me soul food. And by soul food I mean sex...sorry mom and dad, but it's true. I have a cowgirl hat I need to wear at least once on Love Island. And if you think a camera and millions of people watching at home is going to stop me....have fun watching.
LOVE ISLAND VILLA
"Damn," Stassi looked back and forth looking for someone to join her. "I know y'all did not make me the odd girl," Stassi gasped, but then shrugged it off. "Shi, let me strut my shit then." With one push up to the girls sitting on her chest, Stassi winked at the camera before strutting into the villa she will be staying in for the next six weeks trying to find her perfect match. "Hello! Party's here!" Stassi exclaims revealing herself to the other girls who in excitement rushed up to her with white champagne glasses in their hands.
"OMG!" The young women looked at the last female to join the group as this season's original female group. "You are so beautiful, I'm Serena," Serena, a brown skin beauty dressed in neon that complimented her skin well.
"Me? Look at you!" Stassi backed up to look the woman up and down. "And you! Don't even get me started," Her eyes moved over to the other brown skin beauty standing next to her on the right side of Serena. "I'm Stassi."
"I'm JaNa," The woman in bright red sweetly introduced herself smiling at the woman's appearance in admiration but also as a token of confidence as she is happy that is not the only black girl on the show for this season giving her room to feel more comfortable that she will have at least two girls on the show with her that figuratively look and talk like her.
"Hi I'm Leah," A girl in magenta purple jumps to the front to introduce herself to the last female to walk into the villa.
"Stassi," The honey blond woman smiled, initiating a hug to show off her friendly side.
"You're so beautiful," Leah complimented.
"So are you!" Stassi genuinely smiles before moving over to the last two girls she had yet to introduce herself to. "Hi, I'm Stassi."
"Kaylor," A blond white young woman in baby blue smiled introducing herself. "Oh my God you're a natural blonde too aren't you. I know a real blonde when I see one."
"Yeah," Stassi smiled, but really she wanted to crunch her face because she didn't know what that was supposed to mean. Like was Kaylor insinuating that she looks like a dumb blonde or that she knows Stassi doesn't bleach her hair.
"I'm Hannah," the last girl more on the slim thick side was wearing cheetah print smiles at Stassi as she introduced herself. "Girl let's get you a drink."
"I like you already," Stassi laughs, letting the woman guide her over to the table that held a bottle of champagne. The others followed. "See, they got the wrong bitch, where is the tequila?" Stassi looked around wanting to see a real bottle and not a champagne bottle.
"I said the same thing when I got here!" Serena exclaims in excitement. "We should go find it behind that bar." Serena grabs the younger woman's hand and guides both of them to the outside bar where they separated both on a mission.
"Serena what's your poison?" Stassi asked as she was bent down looking at the many different bottles.
"I'm a Casamigos girlie," Serena states, as she was also looking for something appetizing besides champagne.
"We're going to be best friends, I just know, "Stassi popped back up with a dark casamigos bottle in her hand showing the woman. "It's time to get turnt."
"OMG yes!" Serena jumped up and down. "Stassi found the real alcohol!" She yells to the girls who remained at the bartop table talking but cheered once the girls headed back over to them with the real stuff.
"We are not going to drive the boat right now cause we still have to look presentable, but later tonight all of you are taking a shot with me," Stassi pointed at all the girls. "It's like an initiation shot as this season's OG girls."
"Gotta start this shit the right way," JaNa cheered, agreeing with Stassi. The bottle was passed around in where each girl poured a little shot in their cups. While some girls like Kaylor slowly sipped the shot. Girls like Leah and Stassi took it to the head..
"I love you already!" Stassi smiled wide seeing that Leah also drowned her shot. "You're my type of drinker."
"I'm not a sipper!" Leah simply explained with a smile on her face.
"We need to, like, sit down and, like, talk about our types. You feel me, right?" JaNa goes to direct the girls' next move.
"Yes."
"100%".
"Yes, we need to get into it."
"Okay, but let's do a cheer," JaNa raised her cup along with the other girls.
"Cheers," They all shouted, clinking their cups together.
"What is everyone's zodiac signs?" Leah started the conversation as the six girls moved their way to a secluded seating area where they all fit. "I'm a Leo, but I'm a triple Leo. My whole big three is all Leo."
"Oh, my God. Crazy," Serena looked at the Persian woman with interest
"I'm not gonna lie. I don't know shit about zodiac signs," Hannah confessed in which Stassi gave her right thigh a pat as she was sitting next to her. Stassi didn't know anything about zodiac signs either besides that she was a Cancer and if someone says that they're interested in zodiac signs to just nod your head and prepare for an hour uncalled for reading.
"I'm a Sagittarius," JaNa reveals to the group.
"Okay."
"Yeah."
"I'm a Scorpio. Capricorn moon. Rising. Scorpio."
"Amazing."
"Can I ask everyone, signs that they won't date?" Leah asked the group.
"Cancer."
"I thought we had something special, Kaylor," Stasi pouted her pink glossy lips. "We were supposed to be the Blonde Twisted Duo."
"We are!"
"Cancer men?" Leah asked.
"Yes."
"Leo men," Serena inputs in which Leah agreed with her. "I hate them. My ex was a Leo. Fuck Leo men."
"Or Pisces?" Kaylor raised her hand.
"Oh, no."
"Wait. Can you elaborate?" Leah paused. "Because everyone hates Pisces men. But I've never dealt with..."
"They're emotionally unstable," Serena answers the girl's question.
"Yes. They try to compete with you," Kaylor added.
"You fucking with __ that thinking they cuter then you," Stassi mumbled lyrics to herself unknowingly Leah and Serena heard and began to finish the lyrics with her.
"Oh, say you on your cycle, but he on his period too. Oh!" The three girls sang on top of their lungs.
We've met our girls, and here comes our brand new host, the glamorous, talented star of "Vanderpump Rules", Ariana Madix. Girl, how do you drive in those heels? Slay. So new villa, new islanders, new host, same voiceover guy though. I've got a mortgage to pay.
"Hey, ladies," The host of this season, Love Island USA, known for her appearance in "Vanderpump Rules", Ariana Madix walks into the villa bringing attention to herself and away from the girls' conversation. This caused the group to get more excited because it means the games are starting to begin. "Welcome to Fiji!" Ariana greeted as the girls walked over to her.
"Oh, my God."
"So beautiful."
"You all, absolutely unreal," Ariana states as she pulls Stassi into an embrace before going to personally greet the other girls. "Ariana. Lovely to meet you."
"Hello!"
"You are so badass," Leah complimented the host.
"I need to get a glass of champagne to catch up to you guys," Ariana walked up the two steps to the bartop where the champagne bottle sat.
"Actually we are dr-" Before Leah can reveal what they were actually sipping on Serena and Stassi unknowingly simultaneously tapped the girl on each of her arms to stop her from spilling the beans. That bottle was for them and what happens in fight club stays in fight club.
"All right, ladies, let's cheers to...Love Island 2024!" The girls cheered clinking their glasses together. "Oh, my gosh, I cannot wait to learn every single thing about all of you. Do you guys want to go over to the fire pit for a chat?"
"Yes." Everyone transitioned over to the firepit where a semi circle seating awaited for them.
"Girls, can you believe this is your home for the summer?"
"I can't believe it."
"The heat is making me miss Atlanta's heat a little bit," Stassi joked as she made a little bit gesture with her thumb and pointer finger in which all the girls laughed.
"It doesn't feel like real life at all."
"Are you guys ready to party tonight?"
"That's my love language," Stassi showed over her diamond k9 tooth gem.
"I love that. I got some very, very hot guys coming for you soon," Ariana smirked.
"Yes."
"Thank you!"
"First things first, are we all here looking for love... or a good time?"
"I'm looking for love," Serena started off the conversation topic. "Like I'm tired of the games. I'm tired of the bullshit. I'm looking for my husband."
"Yeah, I kind of just want to skip the boyfriend part and then go straight to marriage. If that's possible," JaNa tells everyone what she wants out of this Love Island experience.
"Just skip to the end," Ariana jokes.
"Yeah."
"Damn. Calm down, girl," Hanna jokes.
"I'm only twenty-two," Stassi starts before she is interrupted by everyone's shocked looks.
"Oh my god!"
"No way!"
"You're just a baby," Leah jokingly pouts, bringing the younger woman in from a hug.
"I'm just here for a good time and if I find love I guess, I find love. But just to warn y'all I can get a little territorial."
"You like to claim them?" Ariana smirked raising her eyebrows.
"Love to claim them," Stassi nodded, her head smirking. "I'm the type to put my signature on it in Sharpie."
"LOL!"
"I like you," Ariana pointed at the girl. "Maybe I should do that."
"I'm single because every man I find tries to settle me down. Like I can't have a guy who wants to just keep me in the house. I'm a crazy partier, so I like to go out, and I need a guy who's my biggest cheerleader." Kaylor explained to the group what her past and what her ideal guy dynamically looked like in the relationship.
"Obviously, I'm gonna know what I like when they come in, but I'm trying to get away from the fuck boys. I'm like, I just want to meet a fine man that's not a fuck boy. It's like I get in trouble with that because nothing ever comes out of it. But I mean, if I'm just looking, that's what I like," Hanna says, chuckling at the end.
"There's gonna be someone for everyone," Ariana reminded the girls in hopes to give them a positive mindset throughout their journey on Love Island.
"We love that."
"I'm ready."
"Bring them in! Bring them in!" The girls start to chant.
"This is going to be amazing. And I'm so excited to get to know all of you, not just tonight, but throughout this entire summer and to be on this journey with you. Like, thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. It's just... it's going to be so fun. And I got y'all's back," Ariana looked at each of the girls as she was giving thanks to them but also the audience about letting her be the host of this season.
"Thank you so much."
"And I know... listen, I know."
"We got your back, babe."
"Thank you," Ariana smiled. "If I see, you know, if I see anything, I will..."
"Call us."
"Yeah, I'll call you."
"Okay, girls, it's time to get ready for what will hopefully be an unforgettable summer of love," A wide smile creeped onto the host's face. "Last question for me. Are you ready to meet the boys?"
"Bring them out! Bring them out!," Stassi started to sing.
"Bring on the boys!"
"Well, here they come," And right on cue, entered five boys confirming what Stassi already knew. This was a double steal season. Meaning already there's an uneven amount of participants on side of the gender table making the game a little but more intense even before the bombshells even enter the villa and one of the girls was playing as an early bombshell.
"I want him," Stassi smirked.
"Who?" Serena leaned in to see who she was looking at.
"Doe eyed puppy in the teal," Stassi made eye contact with her prey and her smirked widened in sultry. She had her claim already in mind.
"You are going to ruin him," Serena laughed, looking at the guy Stassi briefly described.
"That's the plan."
Welcome back to Love Island USA. The lads are here, and they are dressed to impress. Sadly, one of them's never used an iron before and completely ruined the shirt. But I don't think anyone will notice.
"No way."
"Oh, this place is fucking beautiful," One of the boys complimented the villa as they headed over to where the girls were sitting.
"Hey, boys," Ariana greeted.
"Hey!"
"Y'all look beautiful."
"I think he was in Casa Amor," Taylor notified the girls.
"He definitely was," Stassi nodded her head confirming the lingering suspicion.
"Hello, boys. Come have a seat," Ariana directed them as they finally approached the fire pit. The boys went around the circle and greeted each of the girls. The first guy that approached, Kordell, wore a neon green suit with no shirt, but it was his face that caused Stassi to give him a second look. Something about his face she knew from somewhere. The next guy, Kendall, was in a powder blue suit, he seemed nice, but the buzzard in her head rang instigator so she knew he wasn't the one for her. And finally after Kendall, her prey reached out with his hand.
"I'm Rob."
"Stassi," she stared at him in the eyes, as she softly shook his hand.
"All right, ladies, I'm excited to introduce you to the boys," Ariana went around saying the guys' name as they said their greetings.In wanting to get to know the boys Ariana had them repeat the ritual in where the boys tell the girls and Ariana what they're looking for and how the girls felt about what he said. Stassi wasn't really paying attention as her focus was on Rob who she felt kept looking at her and so she played into it by stealing glances at him. She lifted her eyebrows telling him that she caught him looking in return he smoothly covered his mouth to hide his blushing.
"Rob, you look very familiar," Ariana goes to the blushing boy who had to make a quick recovery.
"Oh, yes. Hello, ladies. New villa, new Rob," He awkwardly states trying not to make it obvious that someone already had his attention.
"Oh, new villa, new Rob"
"Yeah." Everyone laughed.
ROB: I'm back. I'm Rob. I'm twenty-five. You guys may know me from last season. I didn't find love last time.I was in shit Creek without a paddle. I failed, and I failed miserably. It would be amazing if I could meet a girl here. Maybe sleep in a bed with someone. Last time, I slept completely alone. I do believe in the Love Island formula. I catch snakes for a living. You may not think you have snakes in your house, but you do. Call Rausch Reptile Removal, and we'll remove your snakes. That's pretty good. Somebody write that down.
Anyone that knows anything about snakes knows a thing or two about women. If it's agitated, you should probably step back. If she's agitated, you should probably shut the fuck up. I'm not a one-night-stand guy. I'm very giving in a relationship. I will never stop trying to make the girl I'm with laugh. I'm addicted to that feeling.
I'm looking for a girl down for adventure, loves to travel, and wants to have sex with me at least half as many times in a day as I do. Two and a half times would be so good, but, like, I'll settle for less. I'll settle for one, honestly.
"What do you think's going to be different this time?" Ariana asked him.
"Well, I'm not in Casa, so that's a great start. I'm honestly coming with the same approach...be myself, funny and sexy. Hopefully I find a girl that is interested."
"Okay, well, everyone, this is it. Your journey to finding love has begun, "Ariana announced. "Let's raise our glasses to an amazing summer."
"Let's go!" Everyone cheered and colorful fireworks started to go off.
"Let me guess, you're from Alabama," Stassi surprised Rob from the side as his eyes were previously looking for her during the cheer before the fireworks distracted him.
"Yeah," He shortly nodded his head. "How did you know?"
"You give off cowboy vibes," Stassi smirked, looking up at him. "Plus I'm from Alabama too so I know how to detect kins."
"Mhm what part?" Rob smugly looked at her, playing into her game thinking he would have the upper hand, but he didn't know who he was playing with.
"Concrete Cowboys and Snakes Territory," She answers, waiting for a reaction. "And by the way your eyes just widen you know where that is and what it means. That's good to know," She slips away heading back over to the girls, leaving Rob there still speechless."
Welcome back to Love Island USA. Oh, see you lot in a minute. Ariana's got something she wants to tell the islanders.
"It's time to get started. And as usual on Love Island, we're going to get you guys coupled up. But this year, things are going to be a bit different."
"What?!"
"Ooh."
Before coupling up, the islanders will get to know each other with our game...Icebreakers.
"We're gonna play a game where you get to kiss each other first and see if you're compatible before you make your decision about who to couple up with. Sort of a "try before you buy" scenario."
Islanders must crack open the ice cubes to retrieve a card containing a question... which they will answer by choosing someone to kiss.
"Kiss the islander you are most intimidated by." Kendall read the card he retrieved after picking at the ice. Walking back over he swiftly glided over to Stassi and held out his hand for her. Walking over to the circle, Kendall placed one hand on her hip and the other on her chin and leaned down and placed his lips on Stassi's.
STASSI: The kiss was okay, but it wasn't nothing to be having wet dreams over. Like it was cute. Simple.
"Okay, "Kiss two islanders who give you green-flag vibes." JaNa read out her card and chose Rob and Coye which forced Stassi to sit through that.
"I'm claiming him," she leaned over to whisper to Serena but little did she know Leah told Hannah the same thing.
ROB: This is such an advantage, because we're getting to find things out that we would never get to find out just by looking at them, like what they taste like. I'm so sorry.
"Don't be intimidated," JaNa tells Rob after she finished kissing him.
Kiss the islander you think would have the highest body count, Aaron chose Kaylor.
Kiss the islander who looks like a heartbreaker, Kordell chooses Serena.
And when it was her turn to read she did not choose him back which left a salty taste in Kordell's mouth, Coye who also happened to pick her up in the midst of the kiss.
It was finally Stassi's turn to go up and break the ice. Picking up the pic the young woman slammed it down as much as she thought was necessary and picked up the card that fell. "Kiss the Islander you're most attracted to," Without even taking a second to think Stassi pointed at her prey and told him to come with the inward movement of her pointer finger. Knowing automatically it was him she was talking about, Rob stood up and walked over with quick strides. Once he was in front of her, Stassi took the edge of his blazer and pulled it down and towards her in which their lips automatically connected. As their tongues were entering each other's mouths Rob's hand slipped from her waist going south to where his hand had a grip on her ass and gently squeezed as his other hand pulled her more towards him.
STASSI: Blue eyes got a little spice to him. I like it.
"Fuck yea!" The two heard cheering. Knowing that there was an audience and there were more cards to go, with a smirk on her face Stassi pulled away and slowly backed away heading for her seat leaving Rob there stunned for a second before he went over to the ice pick and hit it to receive a card.
"Kiss the islander who gives you red-flag vibes." Rob read and without a second to waste he headed back over to a certain honey blonde. Rob held out his hand waiting for the girl to take it and when she did he pulled her up and back over to the circle in where they shared their second kiss which was heavier than the first one.
"Should I be offended that you think I'm a red flag?" Stassi questioned, backing away from the kiss.
"No," Rob shook his head. "It's exciting me... Plus I just wanted to kiss you again."
Kiss the islander who you think is the most fake, Kaylor choose Rob
Kiss two islanders who first caught your eye. Serena and JaNa were chosen by Coye.
Kiss the islander you think would be the best in bed. Hanna chose Coye. And somehow her makeup ended up on his face and due to the contrast in complexion it was obvious with the second proof of evidence was the foundationless spots on her face.
"All right. You've all had a chance to get to know each other better, and saliva has been shared. I love it. Now, hopefully you've all had a better idea of who you want to couple up with or don't want to couple up with. Shall we do it?"
"Yeah." Everyone agreed.
"All right, follow me!"
"Oh, let's go!"
"Okay, it's time to get coupled up for the very first time. And here's how it's going to work. Girls, as you can see, the boys are each standing on a heart. When I say "go," you're going to head over and stand by the boy that you want to couple up with. This could be based on someone you like the look of, someone you kissed in the game, anything you like. If any boy has more than one
girl standing on his heart, he will get to choose which of them he wants to couple up with," Ariana told everyone how the game was going to happen. "All right, girls. Stand by your boy. In 3...Go!" In no rush Stassi stood back to see where the girls went first. Serena, JaNa, and Hannah went over to Coye and stood on his heart. Kaylor went to Aaron. Leah went to Rob, leaving no girl for Kordell or Kendall. If Stassi didn't have a plan she would've definitely gone to Kendall only because Kordell gives her those big brother vibes and that would just be weird for her. Turning her head to the middle she focused on Rob and Leah and smirked before she joined them. Barely noticing the frown on Leah's face that she held every time Rob and Stassi glanced at each other.
"You girls really knew who you wanted," Ariana looks over to Coye's heart.
"Oh, my gosh!"
"We all can't be 6'8"," Kendall joked, playing hurt.
"She don't want a puppy, she want a big dog," Stassi sang, causing everyone to laugh.
"All right, Coye, let's start with you. You have three gorgeous girls next to you... Hannah, JaNa, and Serena. Coye, how are you feeling?"
"Feeling overwhelmed."
"Does this happen to you a lot in the real world?" Ariana followed up asking why each girl chose him and the decision was up to him to choose who he wanted. He chose JaNa leaving Hannah and Serena single and sitting to the side on the bench. Going down the line, Ariana asked how everyone felt about the matchup or isolated heart until they were met with another double match. "Rob you, you have two beautiful young ladies on your heart, how do you feel?"
"I'm happy, I'm already doing better than I did last season," Rob smiled.
"Well Leah why did you choose Rob," Ariana turned to the girl in magenta purple first.
"I think it was just giving, like, very, like, sexy Wall Street banker," Leah laughed.
"What about you Stassi?"
"He hasn't stopped looking at me since we made initial eye contact," Stassi smirked before looking up at Rob and sharing a smile with him as he looked down to her due to evident height difference.
"Well now Rob, it's time for you to choose who you'd want to keep on your heart. Will it be Leah? Or will it be Stassi?" Everyone's eyes turned to the tall white boy. "I'm going to have to go with Stassi."
"Stassi, how does that feel?"
"I knew it was going to happen," She shrugged it off.
"Confident, I love it," Ariana smiled before turning to Leah. "Well Leah since you were not chosen that means you are single, but don't worry that just means you have a chance to be chosen by either Kordell or Kendall." Leah gave a soft but underlying hurt smile and walked off the platform to join Serena and Hannah on the bench.
"We still have two single boys on their hearts, Kordell and Kendall, and three single girls on the bench, Hannah, Leah and Serena. Girls, come and join me right here." Ariana waved them over. "Because there are 6 girls but only 5 boys, this season is a little different. "The girls will have to fight a little bit harder to create connections these first couple of rounds because the girls not chosen to be coupled up ends up single which is a dangerous position to be in at Love Island and potentially sent home." Ariana explained how the game was going to work with the odd amount of contestants. "Alright, Kordell, we'll start with you. You can now choose one
of these three gorgeous girls to couple up with."
"-I mean, I don't really have to think, for real. I already know who I want. It's gonna be Serena," Kordell walked over to her and it was up to Kendall to decide who was going to be the single girl.
"And Kendall out of Hannah and Leah, who would you like to couple up with?" He chose Leah which left Hannah to be placed in a vulnerable situation.
"Well Kendall chose Leah which leaves you Hannah still single but don't worry you will have enough time to get to know the boys on a deeper level and couple up with one of them at the next coupling up." Ariana threw out positivity. "Alright. Our first coupling up is complete. We have our first five gorgeous couples of Love Island USA 2024. We have JaNa and Coye... Serena and Kordell... Kaylor and Aaron... Leah and Kendall...and Stassi and Rob. Islanders, in these couples, you'll now spend time getting to know one another, taking on challenges together, living together, and even sharing a bed together. How does that sound?"
"Yeah!"
"Good to me."
"And don't forget... In six weeks from now, the public will be voting for their favorite couple. And that couple could win
$100,000." The couples cheered and applauded. "But this is Love Island USA, and the path to true love is never simple. There will be twists and turns along the way and surprises around every corner. And I suggest that you make the most of tonight in your couples, because the first surprise may come around sooner than you expect. For now, I'm gonna leave you to get to know each other. Here's to a great summer of love."
