00:00Well, I have to say, you guys have had such amazing Love Island journeys.
00:04Did either of you expect that you would end up together and in second place at the end of it all?
00:09Absolutely not.
00:10While I was in the villa, I don't know.
00:13I just never really thought about the end goal.
00:15Like, I forgot all about it being a game show.
00:17I just really was there to find love, genuinely.
00:20So to be in the final four and to be second place, like the runner-up, it's like, that never came to my mind.
00:26I never thought I would make it that far.
00:28I don't know.
00:29I guess not knowing the date helped because I didn't know how close or how far the end was for me.
00:35So for us to get to that point and for America to feel like I deserve to be in that final four really put things into perspective for me.
00:41So I was blessed to even be in the final four, but to be second place or the runner-up, it's like, damn.
00:46It was so close.
00:47Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:48I don't know.
00:49There was a beauty in the mystery and the unexpectedness of it all.
00:52You were both dumped from the villa in Casa more than immediately brought back as a couple.
00:57Quick, hurry up!
01:01Get in!
01:02What the f***?
01:03Nick, come on, hurry!
01:05Hurry!
01:06Come on!
01:07What the f***?
01:08What are you doing here?
01:09Maybe this is more of a question for Landria since you went and picked up Nick, but what did that look like behind the scenes?
01:15Like, how did you find out, no, I'm not actually going to a hotel and getting on a plane?
01:19Honestly, I did not know that until I was sitting with Nick when we got that text.
01:26Like, hey, the only way you can return to the villa is if you're coupled up.
01:31At that point when we were sitting down talking to each other, I was thinking we were still going to go to the airport after, honestly.
01:37I thought we were just there like, hey, this is what Sierra's doing.
01:40Hey, this is what Taylor's doing.
01:41And I thought that was going to put us in an Uber and drive us back to the airport.
01:44Nice car pulled back to PGA.
01:46Literally, I thought it was the end.
01:47We didn't find out we can return to the villa until we got that text.
01:50We had a couple up to go.
01:53So we saw it all happen in real time.
01:55In real time.
01:56We didn't have a clue.
01:57So we were super excited.
01:58Obviously, you could see like, oh, hell yeah, we'll come back as a couple, like whatever that looks like.
02:02We're just ready to get back into the villa for sure.
02:04We got to see a little bit of your reaction to the Nicolandria shippers on family day.
02:08If somebody you would bring home, I would feel like the natural connection would be with Olandria.
02:12Like, I could just see her at our table.
02:13I could see her just talking shop.
02:15Yeah.
02:16Talking shop.
02:17I felt like this whole time, the only thing I was missing was my parents' approval, which I really like, I look for and respect.
02:23So today I felt like I got that and now we can finish this together.
02:28All right.
02:28Three, two, one.
02:31Now that you've had your phone back and you guys have seen it for yourselves, what do you think?
02:35And do you almost wish that you had decided to couple up after Casa Amor so you would have had more time together in Fiji?
02:41I think that it, I always say this, like I loved, you know, even though in the moment it didn't feel great, I think I love like the process of how we came back together.
02:51And it's truly like this romantic storyline that was completely unwritten, like unwritten.
02:57Literally.
02:57And now it's like, yes, we didn't have time in Fiji, but now we have time in LA and now we have time in the real world, which I think is even more special.
03:06No, a hundred percent.
03:07Just watching back all these edits, like the first moment leading up until this one, I'm just like, bro, this is beautiful.
03:12Like this looks like a storyline.
03:14And for it to just happen naturally, I didn't even think a lot of our moments were getting picked up by the camera, if I'm being totally honest.
03:20So for that to just being carried out through the whole season to allow the Nicolandrians to bring that together and make a whole edit about it.
03:26I'm like, bro, this is beautiful.
03:28Yeah.
03:29I love it.
03:29Watched a rom-com unfold in real time.
03:32And reading that on our date, I'm like, rom-com, like, what are they watching?
03:36Like, what is out there?
03:38And so for us to step outside the villa for a quick second and integrate ourselves into the real world, I'm like, bro, this is crazy.
03:43I can see why our letters, you know, was worded the way they were.
03:46This is beautiful.
03:47They literally watched this story unfold from the beginning until the end.
03:51And they became a fan of ours, second episode, I think, right?
03:54Yeah.
03:54It was very, very early on.
03:56Yeah.
03:57It was amazing.
03:57And, you know, one of my favorite moments, Alandria, is when Megan Thee Stallion came on and she was just praising you up and down.
04:03What was it like to hear that from her?
04:06Man, Megan, that was by far probably one of the best days I've had.
04:10I love her to death.
04:11So for her to know my name, I'm like, bro, I'm fangirling right now.
04:13You know me.
04:14And she's like, what is the routine?
04:16Like, the workout routine?
04:17I'm like, girl, it's genetics.
04:18What?
04:18And no one believed me until my mom came.
04:21And now her ass is fucking, you know, viral on TikTok.
04:24I'm like, oh, my God, I'm going to kill the camera guy.
04:26I had to tell them I was natural, too.
04:29Like, I'm natural.
04:31I swear.
04:32Alandria, you were the first one to give Clark and Taylor a hug when they were dumped from the villa.
04:37Clark and Taylor.
04:43How are you feeling about them now?
04:48Is there any world in which you guys could all be friends?
04:51I know that Taylor is one of Nick's close guy friends.
04:54I will have to be cordial regardless.
04:56I don't want to ever make the atmosphere weird.
04:59I have no hard feelings towards neither Clark or Taylor.
05:03We're all there to find a true connection or, you know, a romantic connection.
05:06I can't get upset with Taylor because he did that regardless of who that's with.
05:09I support love regardless of who's involved.
05:11You know what I mean?
05:11I love love that much.
05:13So I did not let me and Taylor's experience define any ongoing feelings towards him.
05:17Do I wish he was communicating with me a lot more than what he did?
05:21Yes, because I feel like I would have had a better outlook of what my journey could have looked like.
05:25But yeah, there is no hard feelings there at all.
05:28We've hung out with them a couple of times and it's only been, you know, a few days.
05:33Yeah.
05:33I was going to say, was everyone in Disney the other day or something?
05:36I think the three stooges and their ladies.
05:40Yeah, literally the minions.
05:42Ace and his minions, right?
05:45The minions.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Well, Nick, your Mamacita scene with Huda has gone beyond viral.
05:52I'm a mommy.
05:54Mommy?
05:55I'm a mom.
05:57Mamacita.
05:57No, I'm a mommy.
06:02A mom of what?
06:03A dog?
06:04Which celebrity reenactment surprised you the most?
06:08JB.
06:09Oh my gosh.
06:10Justin Bieber.
06:11He was saying clock it in the beginning.
06:14And then I saw my face on his Instagram.
06:16I know his new album dropped too.
06:19I'm a dad.
06:20I'm a husband.
06:21I'm a mommy.
06:24Mommy?
06:25Mommy.
06:26You're not getting it.
06:27It's not clocking to you.
06:29I'm a mom.
06:31Mamacita.
06:31What about, um...
06:34Justin, I'm...
06:34Mamacita.
06:36Mamacita.
06:37No, I'm a mommy.
06:39A mom of what?
06:41It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?
06:44And what I don't like is if the business is true, that you left your moms in the hood,
06:49somebody go smoke that.
06:51Good things for JB.
06:53I love that he did that.
06:55It was cool.
06:55Yes, and you were a part in promoting that new album too, so...
07:00Yeah, JB, I want to go to your concert.
07:04What does your post-Love Island life look like?
07:07You know, do you have plans to continue exploring your connection in the real world?
07:10Are you planning to make things exclusive if you're not already?
07:14Yeah, a plan would be to go to a Justin Bieber concert now.
07:17That's on the bucket list, but you go ahead.
07:19Yeah, um, so we are, we definitely want to continue to explore each other.
07:23Um, those words were not, never a lie.
07:25Like, you know, when we said we just want to explore each other outside the villa, we're
07:28actually taking action to that.
07:29Um, right now, we're just trying to map out and schedule out when I'm going to Florida
07:33to have dinner with Miss Jennifer and the family, and also getting him to Decatur to meet
07:39my family as well.
07:40They're super excited to meet him.
07:41So I think once we see, like, how that feels and if it feels right, we want to continue to
07:46progress from there.
07:46So meeting each other's families first is going to be the till-toe all for what the
07:51future of us look like.
07:52But we definitely want to continue to get to know each other and progress forward.
07:55What do you guys say to those people who do say, oh, this was fake or this was set
07:59up or something like that?
08:01What's your response to the haters out there?
08:04Why would we fake that?
08:05That's just weird, first of all.
08:06Why would we get our parents so involved and so caught up in our story that that doesn't
08:09even make sense?
08:10Just having that validation from both sides, a kid's family and my family.
08:13And my mom and his mom started their own bond.
08:15They've been talking for the past few days.
08:17Even before they met us, they were already talking.
08:19And they loved each other from the moment they met each other.
08:22And I don't know.
08:23So that gave us so much insight or stability within ourselves.
08:28It was like, you know what?
08:28It's only right that we need to go forward with this and just see where it takes us.
08:32Because our family supports us.
08:33Apparently, we have like a whole Nicolandria, you know, stand, stand or whatever.
08:38But yeah, it's natural.
08:39None of this is fake divorce.
08:41It would be hard to force such a bond for, what, six weeks on TV?
08:46That doesn't even make sense.
08:47I think people will be able to see through that.
08:48I think we're really good at clapping back.
08:50But we're going to take the higher road.
08:52And we know what we have.
08:53Yeah.
08:53We have the support from our fellow Islanders.
08:55They've seen it, all of it.
08:56So nothing is worse this way.
08:58I can promise you that.
08:59We have the reunion coming up.
09:00What's one thing each of you are most excited, I guess, to address?
09:06Absolutely most excited to address the Minion allegations.
09:13Minion gate.
09:14So that's something I'm excited for.
09:18I haven't watched the show back yet.
09:19So I don't know from the show standpoint.
09:21I definitely want to address a few podcasts.
09:23The people that went on podcasts and spoke of my name.
09:26I'm just still doing my homework.
09:27Because obviously people are still going on podcasts and talking.
09:30So let's just see how that all works out.
