SUVA, FIJI: Ariana Madix has made her appearance in almost all reality shows after being in the limelight for ex Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal. And now, we will see the 'Vanderpump Rules' star making her appearance in 'Love Island Games' Season 1.

At first, it was exciting for the viewers to know what was happening in Ariana's life and they looked forward to her appearance on TV. But now it seems that the reality shows are dragging her appearance a bit too much.

Fans react to Ariana Madix's upcoming appearance in 'Love Island Games'

Fans are now trashing the 'Love Island' franchise for bringing Ariana again in one of its shows. After learning about Ariana's appearance in the upcoming episode, a fan commented, "Why the f**k is Ariana from VPR back next week? Why do they keep pushing her on us?"

Another wondered, "Who at ITV studios has Ariana Maddox black mailed?! Why is she relevant to this show?!" A fan uploaded a "Time up girl, bye!" GIF saying, "We dont give a f**k about Ariana anymore. That storyline is over."

Another fan wrote on X, "Isn’t the Ariana drama so January? Why is she back." However, another claimed, "Ariana and kyra?? tomorrow’s gonna be so good."

'Love Island Games' to witness first recoupling

'Love Island Games' was going smoothly until now. Episode 5 will be chaotic for a few couples. So far, we have witnessed the first elimination of the show.

Steph Blackos was sent home in Episode 4. This left one woman in the house uncoupled. Episode 5 will give the contestants a chance to recouple again.

The synopsis of 'Love Island Games' Season 1 Episode 5 claims, "The Islanders wake up to find a hot new All-Star bombshell inside the villa and it's not just the boys who have their eye on her; Ariana Madix from 'Vanderpump Rules' crashes the party to oversee the first recoupling of the season."

Ariana Madix to return again in 'Love Island Games' Season 1 Episode 6

Ariana will again return in 'Love Island Games' Season 1 Episode 6 to host a game. The game is called 'Madix Mountain'.

Here, we will see the couples battle each other to rescue their partners. In the game, we will see the couples labeling each other with red flags. This will indeed increase the risk of an Islander getting eliminated.

However, the game will bring a surprising twist in the end. It will make two lucky Islanders safe in the end.
