Ariana Madix is learning from the master when it comes to hosting reunions.
The 40-year-old host of Love Island USA co-hosted the reunion alongside Bravo‘s Andy Cohen.
After several seasons on the other side of the couch as a cast member on Vanderpump Rules, Ariana says she had some things to learn about hosting the reunion.
She recently spoke to People about what she learned from 57-year-old Andy when it comes to hosting reunions.

“I feel like throughout the day I learned a lot from [Andy] and his ability to take charge,” Ariana shared with the publication. “And not so much necessarily take charge just with the islanders, but take charge just of what was going on. And I learned a little bit like, ‘Oh I’m allowed to do that,’ which is great.”
Ariana shared that the two of them had “a lot of fun” putting the islanders in the hot seat as the co-hosts of the reunion. She said that even though she felt “bad” about putting them in the hot seat, she reminded herself it was just part of the job.
“But I also feel like something I remind myself of is that it’s a tough question, but it’s also an opportunity for the islander to give — it’s usually a question that the audience has been asking,” Ariana explained. “So it’s their moment, their opportunity to explain how they feel, how they felt in the moment. So it’s a tough question and it’s a hard subject sometimes, but it is something that allows them to express more deeply how they feel.”
