Meet the Cast of Love Island USA

Romance is about to blossom in the tropics this summer.

CBS has revealed the initial cast of its sexy new reality series Love Island. These 11 original Islanders will be having fun in the sun and searching for the one.

Love Island is hosted by comedian Arielle Vandenberg and is an American adaptation of the British sensation of the same name. These strangers will have to couple up in order to stay at the show's Fijian villa and attempt to win over the hearts of audiences at home in the hopes of being crowned the winning couple at the end of the summer. Many more Islanders will be joining throughout the season; these are just the people who will be there on day one.
