Islanders
Meet ‘Love Island USA’s Zak Srakaew, the Casa Amor Hunk Who Is a ‘Big Brother UK’ Alum
Love Island USA‘s about to get even messier now that it’s Casa Amor time!
Season 7 has had no shortage of steamy and surprising moments, and we’re sure plenty more are on the way now that 11 new Islanders have come into the mix. During the June 23 episode, host Ariana Madix shocked the Islanders by announcing the midseason twist had begun. Once they were moved to a separate villa, the girls selected new partners from a fresh pool of boys. (The reverse is true for OG guys, who stayed in the primary villa.)
Since he made Casa Amor debut alongside the five other boys, Zak Srakaew caught the eye of fans. Heck, it took one day for fan edits to go viral! It may be in part because Zak S. is no stranger to the reality TV world — and he even has a connection to a Season 6 Islander! We did some digging to see what we could find out about the buzzy new contestant.
