Mackenzie Dipman, the former Carl Radke, is back

She is ready for the next round of reality TV.

Mackenzie Dipman returns to Love Island USA two years after her first appearance on the dating show – and just months after her brief relationship with Carl Radke played in Season 6 of Summer House.

“I’m still single,” Dipman, 25, said People her decision to re-enter the villa. “I think that’s the obvious answer.”

The blonde beauty memorably spent most of her season 2 paired with Connor Trott.

Following the departure of Trott from the Peacock (formerly CBS) franchise, the couple reconnected and continued their off-camera relationship in late 2020. However, they called it complete by March 2021.

This summer, Dipman had an affair with 37-year-old Radke which eventually failed before the latter re-ignited his affair with Bravo castmate Lindsay Hubbard.

Dipman will officially join the fourth season of “Love Island USA” on Wednesday’s episode. The host of the single “Out of His League” admitted that several islanders had already caught her attention.

“It’s not like I’m walking in and there’s no one who really catches my eye,” she said without mentioning any of the guys she’s interested in.

“It’s a bit difficult because I don’t know who will be there right now. It’s possible that someone I’m interested in isn’t even in the villa anymore because everything changes so quickly. “

Besides meeting Mr. Right, Dipman is excited to be mentoring the rest of the participants.

“I definitely like to give advice, whether people ask for it or not,” she noted. “But I hope they look like a big sister to me or someone who has gone through this process, and they will really use me as a source of knowledge to understand what comes next.”

The Arizona native said she will encourage women to ask men questions that can help them develop relationships outside the villa.

“I think they should just ask, ‘What’s your next six months like?’ And “Do you see yourself moving if we don’t live in the same place? And if not, what’s your convenience over long distances? These are the questions they have to ask – she assured.

“It’s not like, ‘Do you want kids one day?’ Think short term.

Dipman also warned that she plans to draw attention to the misbehavior she witnessed in the first part of season 4.

“I love calling a guy for bullying a woman! This is my favorite thing. You can expect me to do it this season as well, she teased. “I have a list. My hit list is as long as my crush list.

Love Island USA – hosted by Sarah Hyland – is available for streaming on Peacock. New episodes will be released Tuesday through Sunday at 9:00 PM EST.
