Ariana Madix has just scored her first Emmy nomination for hosting Peacock‘s Love Island USA.
It was revealed Wednesday morning that she was nominated for best host for a reality or reality competition program.
Other nominees in the stacked reality host category included RuPaul Charles for RuPaul’s Drag Race, Alan Cumming for The Traitors, Kristen Kish for Top Chef and Jeff Probst for Survivor.
Madix rose to fame with her role on Bravo‘s reality series Vanderpump Rules, where she starred for 11 seasons, and later reached the mainstream in 2023 due to the infamous “Scandoval” season that ultimately brought about the end of Madix’s era of Vanderpump Rules. The series rebooted with a new cast two seasons after the scandal broke.
After Madix left the show, the breakout Bravolebrity brought her fanbase with her when she took over as host of Love Island USA from actress Sarah Hyland in 2023 for season six. Over the last three seasons, Madix has played a huge part in the Peacock reality dating show becoming a cultural phenomenon.
