Ariana Madix is no stranger to drama—or burning off her tastebuds—so she’s more than ready to crush “Suck It Up.” The ‘Love Island USA’ host gets juicy—literally—as she chooses between answering “Never Have I Ever” questions or sucking on dangerously sour sweets. From the ‘Love Island’ couple she thought was doomed from day one to the Islander she secretly hoped would get dumped, how much sour can she *really* handle? Watch as Ariana dishes on the controversial SUR menu item she’s not a fan of (don’t come for her), her thoughts on the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ reboot, and whether she’s actually watched ‘The Valley’ to support her friends.

Transcript
00:00Never have I ever rooted for a love islander
00:03to get dumped from the island.
00:05Yeah, I'm so sorry.
00:07Hi, I'm Ariana Maddox.
00:09This is Suck It Up with Delish.
00:14In front of me, I have five different candies,
00:17ranging from a little sour to painfully sour.
00:20I'll have to answer a series of never have I ever scenarios.
00:24For everything I have done, I'll have to suck it up.
00:26I think I can handle sour.
00:28I put a lot of hot sauce on all the food I eat,
00:30so I think I've successfully burned off
00:32most of my taste buds already.
00:34So.
00:37This sour rating is one out of five.
00:40Let's get started.
00:42Never have I ever used my celebrity status
00:46to get a dinner reservation.
00:48I just know like sometimes I'll look, and I can't see that there's an opening, and I'll
01:00be like, hey, to my team, does anybody know what's up with this?
01:06And they'll be like, we'll look into it.
01:08Okay, cool.
01:09I feel like it's not like celebrity status as much as being like, can you guys ask for
01:13me?
01:14Next question.
01:15Never have I ever forgotten my lines while on stage for Chicago.
01:20Uh-uh.
01:21I have had a coughing fit in the middle of my monologue though.
01:25It was like one of those things where it just wouldn't stop, and I felt like, well, I have
01:30to acknowledge this because of course the audience is probably sitting there thinking like, is she
01:34okay?
01:35And I forget my lines though.
01:39This sour rating is two out of five.
01:41Cool.
01:42Never have I ever lied to get out of filming a scene.
01:47No, I've never lied.
01:48There's been times where I've been really late because my stomach issues, or I wanted to look
01:55really cute on my birthday, and the outfit I wanted to wear didn't fit, so it was like
01:58I was really late because I was freaking out trying to think of something to put on to
02:01feel cute on my birthday.
02:02So I've been late, but I've never lied to get out of filming a scene.
02:05All right.
02:06Next question.
02:07Never have I ever been surprised that a celebrity was a fan.
02:12Oh, every time.
02:13Every time I find out that anyone, anyone's a fan.
02:17Okay.
02:18Here we go.
02:19Which celebrity do you remember the most?
02:23Um.
02:24Oh, that's pretty sour.
02:28Lady Gaga was a Vanderpump fan.
02:30That blew my mind.
02:32Go and watch what happens live.
02:33It's like there'll be the celebrities on and they'll start talking about it.
02:36I'm like, are you kidding me?
02:37Like Jennifer Lawrence before.
02:39Losing my train of thought.
02:42Um.
02:43I don't know.
02:44You're like, why does, how do they know it exists?
02:46Like that's so freaking crazy to me.
02:48On to the next round.
02:49This sour rating is three out of five.
02:54All right.
02:55Never have I ever hated a dish on the Sir menu.
02:59The menu's changed now, I think.
03:04So this is no, like, Sir dis.
03:07Okay.
03:08I don't even remember.
03:10I don't like the goat cheese balls.
03:22I don't want to be mean.
03:23But they're, that's someone who loves goat cheese.
03:27How would you rank Sir, Tom Tom and Pump?
03:30Tom Tom's the best.
03:32Pump had its good parts.
03:34What I didn't like about Pump was not about like the food or the drinks.
03:38It was more about like the layout.
03:40And when trying to walk through and get through all these trees and tables
03:44and curlicue, wrought iron chairs everywhere.
03:47And like the ground was uneven.
03:48So if you're wearing heels, it's like, that's kind of my beef with Pump.
03:51And Sir is last.
03:53I'm so sorry.
03:55No bad.
03:56Next question.
03:57Never have I ever suspected a Love Island couple was doomed from the start.
04:03Pfft.
04:04Pfft.
04:05Of course.
04:06Of course.
04:07Of course.
04:08There's, there's, there's always like, there's always couples that you think, you
04:22know, it's going to be a short-lived thing.
04:24It's very rare that they're going to work on the outside world.
04:31It's hard enough to make a regular outside in the world relationship work, let alone
04:37one that starts on this crazy show.
04:40Maybe it wasn't like the start start.
04:42I felt they were doomed.
04:43But as things started happening, I definitely felt like Kayla and Aaron.
04:46I mean, you could tell that that was maybe not going to go on forever.
04:50This sour rating is four out of five.
04:57Never have I ever said anything I regret on TV or in an interview.
05:02Oh my God.
05:03Of course.
05:04How could I not?
05:05Sometimes I just be yapping and I say stupid stuff.
05:11I think I'm like, so annoying.
05:14So, yeah.
05:17Most of what I say, I regret.
05:19The entirety of everything I've ever said on Vanderpump Rules probably.
05:22Are you kidding me?
05:23No, I'm not kidding you.
05:24Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27And like, press interview is usually less so.
05:33Hmm.
05:34Next question.
05:39Never have I ever rooted for a love islander to get dumped from the island.
05:45Yeah.
05:46I'm so sorry.
05:47Yeah.
05:48I'm sorry.
05:51This felt like.
05:56Hmm.
06:01Hmm.
06:02This color is more sour than the pink one.
06:09And I do not mean this in a bad way.
06:11So clickbait headlines saying, you know, Ariana Maddox slams Rob.
06:16But listen, he had coupled up many times.
06:20It felt like we're getting towards the end of the season.
06:22He went home right before the finale.
06:24I was rooting for that to happen just because I felt like.
06:28It was time.
06:29It was time.
06:30Don't love it.
06:34Okay.
06:35Bye.
06:36Oh.
06:37That's okay.
06:38Sorry.
06:39I'll get that later.
06:40This sour rating is a five out of five.
06:45All right.
06:46Do your worst.
06:47Never have I ever thought the Vanderbump Rules reboot was a bad idea.
06:59This one's got nice chunks of sour stuff on it.
07:02Let's do it.
07:03Citrus.
07:04Citrus.
07:05Citrusy.
07:06Huh.
07:07Oh, yeah.
07:08It's like the stuff that you scrape out of the bottom of a sour, like a package of candy.
07:24Like accumulates at the bottom.
07:25Do you ever think about making a cameo?
07:27I don't think I would be making a cameo on the new one.
07:29Because a cameo.
07:30I think would be expensive.
07:31But not in a way like.
07:32I don't know that I would make a cameo in the sense of like with the cast.
07:36If they were to ever want to film like in the sandwich shop or something like that.
07:37I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to, you know, welcome.
07:39But I don't be like filming a scene or, you know, having conversations or anything like
07:46that.
07:47I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to, you know, welcome.
07:52But I'll be like filming a scene or, you know, having conversations or anything like
07:57that.
07:58But I don't know that I would make a cameo in the sense of like with the cast.
08:00If they were to ever want to film like in the sandwich shop or something like that.
08:01I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to, you know, welcome.
08:04But I don't be like filming a scene or, you know, having conversations or anything like
08:09that.
08:10Or I have thought at times it was bad ideas because I think that they should do one about
08:14like Vegas.
08:15So, there's that.
08:18And this is the last question.
08:20Never have I ever watched The Valley.
08:23I have not watched The Valley.
08:27Of course I've seen clips on like TikTok and stuff.
08:30It seems very stressful.
08:32Watching people that I care about be stressed out and stuff.
08:36It sucks.
08:37So, when we talk they fill me in by all means.
08:39Please, obviously I want to know about their lives.
08:41But to watch it, it's hard.
08:43It can get very dark over there.
08:45Thanks for watching and don't forget to watch Love Island USA Season 7 on Peacock.
