The super popuar reality show "Love Island USA," draws massive crowds to Peacock on the six nights a week it airs new episodes.
Shot in real time, Peacock explains, fans are watching events that happened just a few hours earlier while "the Islanders themselves are likely still reeling from."
Where is 'Love Island USA' filmed?
"Love Island USA" is primarily filmed in villas located in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji in the Pacific Ocean. Fiji is a country east of Australia and north of New Zealand.
It takes roughly 16 to 20 hours in an airplane to get there from the U.S. Northeast, depending on connecting flights.
What time is it in Fiji?
Fiji is 16 hours ahead of the East Coast. So, Monday at 9 p.m. on the East Coast, is Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Fiji. That means an episode can be shot one night and aired the very next.

Peacocks says there is typically a one- to two-day turnaround.
