“Love Island USA” Season 7 on Peacock is heating up with the introduction of a new contestant with ties to Oregon. Zac Woodworth, 26, lists Arizona, Hawaii, and Oregon as his locations on Instagram, with his TikTok including clips of him on the University of Oregon campus. His LinkedIn confirms he studied at U of O from 2017 to 2021.

Currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona, Woodworth joins the “Love Island USA” competition, where singles couple up in a tropical villa to win a $100,000 prize.

This season features the return of “Casa Amor” with a twist. Host Ariana Madix (“Vanderpump Rules”) sent the women to Casa Amor, and all islanders received a reset, with new bombshells arriving. The new contestants include Bryan Arenales, Chris Seeley, Clarke Carraway, Courtney “CoCo” Watson, Elan Bibas, Gracyn Blackmore, Jaden Duggar, JD Dodard, Savanna “Vanna” Einerson, Zac Woodworth, and Zak Srakaew.

“Love Island USA” streams on Peacock with new episodes dropping Thursdays through Tuesdays.
