Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> has spoken out about her future as the host of Love Island USA<\/em><\/a> after exit concerns.<\/p>\n

When Ariana, 41, shared highlights from her experience filming the season 8 finale via TikTok on Monday, July 13, a social media user wondered in the comments section if this was her \u201clast season hosting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana swiftly shut down the speculation, replying, \u201cWhy would it be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reality star joined the hit Peacock dating series during season 6 after exiting Bravo\u2019s Vanderpump Rules<\/em>, bringing a surge of new viewers<\/a> to the show. She recently earned her first Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters \u2014 and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey\u2019s Anatomy\u00a0to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many factors that have gone into the success of the show and the show really taking off when I became host, so I\u2019d love to think that I\u2019m kind of part of the fabric of that,\u201d she told The Hollywood Reporter in June. \u201cAnd when you look at all the things, it\u2019s really a perfect storm of factors that have really helped the show take off. And of course, if I can be one of the lightning bolts in that storm, that\u2019s amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana weighed in on Love Island USA<\/em>\u2018s record-breaking success<\/a>, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s an absolute star maker. I\u2019m so happy and excited that Love Island USA is starting to get its flowers because the absolute feat that it is to create and make the show and put the show out and have it be as good and incredible as it is, it\u2019s really insane. And I don\u2019t think any other show is doing what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before returning to the villa in Fiji, Ariana broke down how she planned to prepare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do a lot of work in the gym. And I feel as though I do that throughout the year as well,\u201d she noted. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I only do for this, but I definitely ramp it up just because I want to feel confident. I want to feel sexy. I want to feel like I have an authority when I walk into the villa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAll good things must come to an end, even when it comes to TV. Over the years, many television stars have suddenly left their roles \u2014 while others have been cut from a series without much notice. Anna Faris announced in September 2020 that she was leaving CBS\u2019 Mom after starring as the lead character [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She continued: \u201cI also do a little bit of work on confidence in general to go in there because I think something that\u2019s really important as a host is not just being able to empathize with the Islanders, but also being able to command the room. Because when I go in there, there\u2019s no producers there. It\u2019s just me; I\u2019m in charge. So I need to come in having that confidence for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
