00:00I just hate the fact that you know nobody was standing on business while we
00:03was all there. Outside the villa now they feel like they have the confidence to
00:07talk and for me that's scary in my opinion I don't see that standing on
00:11business. Can you give an example? Don't worry we got the reunion. Everything I
00:15said I said in the villa just wasn't showing on TV. Understood.
00:30Who do you think wasn't on the show for love?
00:43Everybody knows my answers to this Zach with the K for sure not I mean he used to
00:49be talking about his quote-unquote game plan behind the scenes and the switch up
00:54was crazy so yeah Zach definitely weren't in this shit for love.
00:59Glad you got voted out. Sorry not sorry. You know the couple conversations I did
01:04have was Zach was he was trying to put his best foot forward with Amaya and trying
01:09to pursue regardless of the back and forth. Who made the worst pancakes in the
01:14villa? Oh god. Who made the worst pancake? Jeremiah girl just say it. Oh Jeremiah. His pancakes be medium rare.
01:28Uncut pancakes? Yeah. It was the effort that counts. Yeah he made an effort. We got a pancake part. We got a lot of pancake parts. We got a lot of pancake parts. But you know what he did try so I'll give him that.
01:43What moment from this season were you most surprised to see go viral?
01:47I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I never said I was perfect. I never said I had it. I don't even remember the words. I'd just be talking to myself. But I was so surprised because like that's something Amaya really do is just talk to herself. You told me you'd do that. And then to the point where he caught me one day talking to myself. So going on social media and seeing that girl went in.
01:53And seeing that girl went insane. People singing it. Baby I love it. Self positive affirmation talks all day. So you're so happy.
02:00And then to the point where he caught me one day talking to myself. So going on social media and seeing that girl went insane. People singing it. Baby I love it. Self positive affirmation talks all day.
02:08So yourself. Do you know what people also loved? What? Opportunity. Oh my god. Gratitually. There's something wrong with my tongue. I think it's too big for my mouth. Seriously. So I'll be fucking up my words. But you know what? Amaya Dictionary to be coming soon.
02:23Oh my god. There's something wrong with my tongue. I think it's too big for my mouth. Seriously. So I'll be fucking up my words. But you know what? Amaya Dictionary to be coming soon.
02:37You know what's crazy? 2026. I got so accustomed to that. The way you just said that. I didn't even register what you were trying to say.
02:47Who had the most surprising dumping on the show?
02:58Oh it's on me. Honestly I would say me and Shelly had the most surprising dumping. I felt like we had a really really strong connection.
03:04I felt like this show was supposed to be about you know building the connection with a person going through all the ups and downs.
03:09And you know me and her had did that. And when we had got dumped it definitely was bittersweet.
03:14But I felt like our journey again ended right there when I asked her to be exclusive because I came here to get what I wanted.
03:20Which was a person I can see myself being with the rest of my life.
03:24Alandria, any thoughts on the Taylor situation?
03:27It's weird because what y'all have seen and what I experienced is two different things.
03:32Taylor, he's a great guy. Which is why I was like trying to nurture our connections as best as I could.
03:37He always cooked me breakfast. If I was cold he was always taking his jacket off for me.
03:40Always leading me up and down the stairs. He was a literal gentleman.
03:44When I said I wanted a country man he truly possessed those values.
03:47So it's just crazy being out in the real world and seeing how everything is being perceived.
03:50So I'm not going so hard for a person if they're not pouring back into me too you know.
03:55If I would have known originally that a person was not physically attracted to me I'm not going to go hard for somebody that does not find me physically attractive.
04:02We could have just been friends because I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay you know.
04:05That's why I also reacted the way I did with the whole recoupling because we were shocked.
04:10Like we did not see that coming at all especially with being there and being present and seeing how your connection is going.
04:16So yeah it wasn't just about being dramatic it was like shocker. My jaw was to the floor.
04:22What's the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself?
04:31Oh fuck me.
04:33What did I know?
04:34Listen in the villa they would call me Slotherton.
04:37Okay I moved as fast as I could to get ready.
04:40That's not a rumor.
04:41That's not a rumor.
04:42That's a fact.
04:43You were walking in turtle speed last year.
04:46Listen.
04:48Like less.
04:49I would move as fast as I could.
04:50They call me a sloth a lot in the villa.
04:52Slotherton.
04:53Because apparently I took so long to get ready and I would drag my feet everywhere in the mornings and I walk slow as hell.
04:59I don't think I move that slow.
05:00And not so that I walk slow.
05:02Y'all love to do your impressions of me walking.
05:04You do walk slow.
05:06No I don't.
05:08Who was the best kisser in the villa?
05:18Oh this is cute.
05:20I will have to say Nick.
05:22I think America agrees with that.
05:23I know America agrees with that.
05:26Who looked good together but never coupled up?
05:36Who looked good together?
05:37Who looked good together?
05:38What?
05:42Oh.
05:43Oh.
05:44Pepe and Amaya.
05:46Oh yeah.
05:47I just thought they looked like good together.
05:49Like, they're both physically nice to look at.
05:52You know, two physically nice to look at people get together,
05:56it's like a nice couple to look at.
05:58All right, brother, you can shut it down.
06:00You can shut it down, brother.
06:02Hey, brother, I'm right here.
06:04I think she forgot.
06:06I think she's good where she at.
06:08Brian and Amaya are better, nicer to look at.
06:10The same, the same, the same.
06:13Which couple do you wish had their own room?
06:19I just...
06:26Like, what?
06:28Don't be shy.
06:31Mmm.
06:33Um, Ace and I.
06:36There we go.
06:37Because we just spent it alone time.
06:39Like, there's too much people in the room.
06:41She's amazing, and she's a classy woman.
06:46That's something I really, really respect about Shelly.
06:48And, yeah, I wouldn't have spent my time in that villa with anybody else but her.
06:52I'm not gonna lie.
06:53Iris and Pepe made it hard to see.
06:54That's what I was thinking.
06:55I would never buy them.
06:56I don't even know.
06:57I love them to death, but they would always...
06:59Yeah.
07:00It was OG.
07:01I was sleeping right next to them.
07:04Always kissing.
07:05Love them so much, but they do kiss all the time.
07:07And you know what?
07:08They like each other a lot.
07:09So that's what that means.
07:10During the family visits, who had the most attractive relative?
07:13Try it lightly.
07:14Oh, it's pointing right at me.
07:15The smirk as you were doing it cracks me up.
07:16As soon as I heard the question, I saw a smirk.
07:17I ain't gonna lie.
07:18Hooda, your sister fire.
07:19Like, I'm not gonna...
07:20But, yeah, most attractive, I would say Hooda sister.
07:22What?
07:23Yeah, you all on TikTok, Brian.
07:24I'm not gonna lie.
07:25I'm not gonna lie.
07:26You're just trying to shoot a shot at my sis.
07:27She got a ring on her finger, baby.
07:28That's fine.
07:29I'm not gonna lie.
07:30I'm not gonna lie.
07:31I'm not gonna lie.
07:32I'm not gonna lie.
07:33I'm not gonna lie.
07:34I'm not gonna lie.
07:35The smirk as you were doing it cracks me up.
07:36As soon as I heard the question, I saw a smirk.
07:37I ain't gonna lie.
07:38Your sister fire.
07:39But, yeah, most attractive, I would say Hooda sister.
07:40What?
07:41That's your ass?
07:42Yeah, you all on TikTok, Brian.
07:43Landry, the mom was cool as shit, too.
07:44Cool as shit, yeah.
07:45He's just trying to shoot a shot at my sis.
07:46She got a ring on her finger, baby.
07:48That's fine.
07:49I know.
07:50Oh, oh, oh.
07:51I have one.
07:52I have one.
07:53Pepe's mom walked in.
07:54Oh, my God, Nick.
07:55Yeesh.
07:56Nick was hitting on every woman that was.
07:59Pepe's mom is really cute.
08:01Yeah, she's cute.
08:02Yeah, she's beautiful.
08:03Pepe looks just like you.
08:04Pepe looks just like his mom.
08:05Pepe's cute as well, so.
08:07Pepe gonna call you after this.
08:09That's fine.
08:11Who would you not want to get caught in an argument with?
08:14Oh, my God.
08:15I'm dead.
08:26I would say myself.
08:28I mean, Amaya versus Amaya, baby.
08:30That's like a World Wars fucking six happening.
08:33That's a poetic argument.
08:36I'm loud if you guys haven't noticed yet,
08:38so that would be a screaming match for real.
08:41Honestly?
08:42Girls, we can talk our shit.
08:43Amaya.
08:44Who would you not want to get into an argument with?
08:47Man, I'm gonna have to give it up to Ace.
08:49Yo.
08:53Yo.
08:54Ace knew how to shut it down.
08:55He was like, hold on.
08:56Like, you ain't gonna be stepping on me.
08:58Honestly, I've always been a very, very confident person.
09:02I've never been the person to shy away from how I feel,
09:05and I'm gonna stay how I feel every single time,
09:07and I feel like I wanted to carry that into this villa,
09:10and could nobody say that I didn't tell them how I felt.
09:13Ace is just so tough.
09:15Who are you most nervous to see at the reunion?
09:20Nervous?
09:21That's a strong term.
09:23Who is it?
09:24That's you.
09:25Oh, that's me?
09:26I don't give a fuck.
09:27I don't know.
09:28I don't give a fuck.
09:29I really don't care.
09:30Bring it on.
09:31Regardless of what happens between anybody, I'm cordial,
09:33and I think I can be respectful in many ways.
09:35So it's just like I would expect the same from anyone else.
09:37I just hate the fact that, you know,
09:38nobody was standing on business while we was all there.
09:40Yeah, same.
09:41And now that, you know, people are outside the villa,
09:44now they feel like they have the confidence to talk,
09:46and for me, that's kind of what's happening.
09:48I just hate the fact that, you know,
09:50nobody was standing on business while we was all there.
09:53And now that, you know, people are outside the villa,
09:56now they feel like they have the confidence to talk.
09:59And for me, that's scary, in my opinion.
10:02I don't see that as standing on business.
10:04Wait, what?
10:05I feel like outside the villa,
10:07for people to feel like they can stand on business now,
10:09and then being back at the villa,
10:11nobody was standing on business, so.
10:13I was.
10:14Can you give an example?
10:15Don't worry.
10:16We got the reunion since everybody feels confident there.
10:18Everything I said, I said in the villa,
10:20just wasn't shown on TV.
10:21Understood.
10:22Did America choose the right winners?
10:29Yes, I do feel like America got it right.
10:35Truly.
10:36Are there any times they got it wrong?
10:38Yes.
10:39Definitely when it had Shelly in like eighth or ninth.
10:41I was like, hold on.
10:42That's my soul sister.
10:43What's she doing?
10:44Well, you know, why is she down there?
10:45Why are y'all saying she's not genuine?
10:46So that kind of threw me for a loop.
10:47I think that's the one that stood out to me the most.
10:49When we did the placements in the first place,
10:51it was an agreement through the villa of who was placed where.
10:54So it wasn't like, oh, I'm just going to stay here.
10:56It was like, no, we agree.
10:57You should be there, et cetera, et cetera.
10:59So the difference between what we were agreeing versus America.
11:02I mean, now as we've come out the villa,
11:04we see that things that are being shown was not what we experienced
11:08completely thrown through.
11:09So it was just a thing of like, you know what?
11:10I only could truly care about what the islanders say versus what the world says
11:15because they only see an hour of 24 hours in a day.
11:18And if we're speaking like individually, you're probably only seeing like five
11:21to ten minutes of each of us.
11:22So I didn't pick to be last.
11:24I mean, I put myself last because I knew that they were going to put me there anyway.
11:27So I was saving myself the walk.
11:28I knew that.
11:29Literally, I knew the boys are going to put me last at that one point.
11:31So it was like a thing of like, you know what I'm saying?
11:35I feel like it was a sticky situation regardless.
11:37Because, of course, it's like they only like why put certain people last and put me and you.
11:41But even when I would ask them, the people who would put me last,
11:45can you please name an example of a time where it was never stated.
11:50So I think it was just a messy, weird.
11:53My parlay was on Amaya being one.
11:55Let me make that clear.
11:56Aw.
11:57Did I not?
11:58Yeah, you got that.
11:59Okay.
12:00My parlay, I said, look, y'all should have put Amaya in one.
12:02That's what I said.
12:03Like, I don't even want to be calling out names.
12:05But Austin, I heard you saying my name a lot about me going down the line.
12:10So, once again, examples.
12:12Can you provide a further explanation?
12:16Mute crickets.
12:17We heard the grasshoppers.
12:18Crickets.
12:19We're literally saying they're like, tell the class.
12:20So, yeah.
12:21I guess it's just projection.
12:23Who has the best couple name?
12:25That's Celeste.
12:26Celeste.
12:27Celeste.
12:28Celeste.
12:29Celeste.
12:30Celeste for sure.
12:31That's just incorrect.
12:32No.
12:33Celeste.
12:34That sounds like an actual name, though.
12:35So what?
12:36Ramayah?
12:37Hold on.
12:38Ramayah actually sounds like a real name, though.
12:39Ramayah?
12:40We got a whole nation with a president and a general.
12:42Our should be.
12:43Not the president.
12:44Oh, bro.
12:45Goodbye.
12:55Bye.
12:56Bye.
12:57Bye.
12:58Bye.
