02:29Obviously I've been watching every single minute of it
02:33What a season guys
02:34It's obviously bigger than last year which is insane
02:37Yeah it's what a great cast
02:40Justine I have to ask what's it like being back in Fiji
02:43Oh it's amazing I've missed it it feels like home at this point
02:47Is it bringing back lots of memories?
02:48Yeah some some good some bad
02:50Some good some bad
02:51Oh god
02:52I'm so sorry girl
02:53You two were friendship goals in season two and games
02:56Thank you
02:57What's it like being reunited?
02:58Well you probably see each other all the time right?
03:00Yeah
03:01But this is cool because like having you on After Send
03:03I literally was telling her I was like I needed her to come out here
03:05I was like please I need you I need a bit of a home
03:07Especially with how crazy this season has been
03:09I'm like remind me what friendship is please
03:11Girl I got you
03:13So I wasn't enough?
03:14Nice to know that
03:15Yeah kinda love you
03:16You can go
03:17Thanks for filling in
03:19And Justine you won Love Island games with Jack
03:23I have to ask what happened after the show?
03:26Well so we're not together
03:28Yeah I kinda figured that
03:30After the show I feel like we tried our best but I don't know if it's just me but like there's always other people still in the picture so I don't really know
03:42Why?
03:43It's not you it's not you
03:44Girl
03:45It's not you
03:46It's not you queen
03:47It's always him unfortunately
03:48It's always him
03:49No we did our best I guess but um I don't know I guess
03:54Yeah cause you guys were cute
03:55Yeah I feel like that's a question you'd have to ask Jack cause
03:58We got Jack on the line
03:59Oh wait he's actually here
04:01No I'm not Jack
04:03You're magic
04:04You said
04:05Oh hell no
04:06So your fellow islanders voted for you to win the hundred thousand dollar cash prize and left you with a big decision to make
04:13Let's have a quick reminder
04:15So Justine it's now time to find out whether you were here for love or whether it was all just a game
04:26I've been in a situation before where I've trusted my connection with somebody and got done dirty a little bit in the end
04:34Um
04:35And I'm kind of struggling with that
04:42I just feel like the connection I felt with Jack this time was a lot more real than the last time
04:49He had a rough time in here and I feel like we both really deserve it so I'm gonna split it
04:54That's heavy
05:04Justine if you were to turn back time now would you have just taken the money?
05:08Probably us
05:09I said fucking lately
05:11Like cut me that check my mama needs that
05:14To be fair both times you're kind of like the single winner cause it's like you get these men there
05:19As my plus one
05:21Yeah, you should have just took the money around
05:24Yeah
05:25To be honest
05:26I wanna ask you all actually
05:27Games Season 2 is coming
05:29Very soon
05:30Would any of you do it again?
05:32Absolutely not
05:33No, Sally, why?
05:35Absolutely not
05:36Did you see how I got eliminated?
05:38They literally chewed me up
05:41I was like I'm okay
05:42Callum, what about you?
05:44I was saying like thinking no at first but as soon as I came back to Fiji it was like that nostalgia feeling
05:50You would?
05:51Who knows?
05:52Yeah, maybe, I don't know
05:53Okay, producers I hope you're listening
05:55Callum wants to do it
05:56Keep me in Fiji
05:58Now guys we've got so much to talk about now we have our final four couples
06:03Before we take a deep dive into our finalists let's see the highlights of their last week in the villa
06:09We've been on quite the journey
06:15I wouldn't want to spend this experience with anybody else but her
06:18Thank you again for believing in me
06:20I couldn't imagine me picking someone else other than you
06:24He recognized the queen that I am without ever trying to thin my legs
06:29Spend every day with her, it's been a good feeling
06:31I feel like I can be myself
06:33This boy was a risk worth taking
06:36I'm giddy right now, I ain't gonna lie to you
06:42I'm finally couple up with someone that doesn't get scared but my pinky toe touches his pinky toe
06:48When I first walked in I did not think I was gonna get this close to anybody
06:52Brock will you be exclusive with me?
06:54Yes of course
06:55Another day in paradise
07:05I don't know what the fuck I was hearing so I covered my head
07:07Why are you cursing around the baby?
07:09No, no, no, no, no, nope, nope, nope
07:11She's a baby, she cannot hold her head up
07:14I started getting like this really fiery feeling in my chest
07:17Like flutters in all parts of my body
07:19I didn't realize seeing Nick in dad mode made him look even better
07:26Islanders, the hideaway is now open
07:30Are you ready for the hideaway?
07:31Yeah, we need to go, come on
07:38Will you be exclusive to Shelly Evelyn Bussain?
07:41Of course
07:42What are you doing?
07:45It's family day!
07:52I feel like there's military videos on TikTok
07:57You're fucking lying!
08:01Thank you for coming
08:05America has been voting
08:06Time just won't stand still
08:10But it's all
08:12We made it to the final four
08:16Final four
08:19Let's go!
08:21The final something that we never really expected
08:23Bananas!
08:27Wow
08:29Why does it make me emotional?
08:31Girl, I cried the whole last episode
08:33I don't want it to end
08:34It was so good!
08:35We literally had a box of tissues there
08:36Didn't we?
08:37I was like, why do I feel like I'm watching an actual movie?
08:40I couldn't stop crying
08:41It was so good
08:43It's been a huge week, obviously
08:45We now have our 2025 finalists!
08:49What the hell?
08:51That's crazy!
08:52No, that is crazy
08:54That is actually crazy
08:55Look at them, here they are
08:56Tell me, is there anyone else you really expected to be in the final?
08:59Yeah, Shelly and Ace, 100%
09:01Right?
09:02Because they were in there from the start
09:04Their connection really grew
09:05I for sure thought they would at least be final four
09:08I did too, I was quite like, oh my god, why?
09:10I was shocked
09:12I think Ace and Shelly and Taylor and Clark deserve to be in the top four
09:16Yeah, I feel like Taylor and Clark had the strongest romantic connection in there
09:20Out of everyone
09:21Yeah
09:22You know, but I guess the public vote, who they want to keep in and it is what it is
09:25True, America man
09:27Even though it's like late in the game, it's still nice to see all these new connections develop, you know?
09:33Because I feel like sometimes it is a bit of fate in there, like especially with Nick and Alondria
09:37Like a lot of people can see that there's like an underlying spark there and they just didn't explore it early on
09:40They look so good together
09:41They do
09:42I love them together
09:44I feel like he brings out such a playful side in her and she brings out like, like she demands more of him, you know what I mean?
09:52Like I feel like he's a man around her and I love him
09:56I agree
09:57Yeah
09:58I loved them when they went into the photo booth and he was like
09:59Me too!
10:00Yes!
10:01I was like, yes!
10:02Yes!
10:03And I feel like everything happens for a reason
10:04Yeah
10:05Like they both got dumped at the same time, they both came back together, they tried things out, didn't work and now they've ended up together again, you know?
10:12Yeah, the universe is like, you can make a part!
10:14Yeah, you can make a part!
10:15Yeah, you can make a part!
10:16Come on!
10:17You're meant to be together!
10:18Yeah
10:19We're giving you one more chance
10:20Those who don't see it, but we said we'll help you out
10:22Yeah
10:23They met the families now and both mums seem to really approve
10:27Yeah
10:28I love that Nick's mom, like wanted them together from the beginning
10:31From the beginning
10:32I know, she said it straight
10:33Emily approval is everything
10:34It is
10:35It's everything
10:36Let's move on to Huda and Chris
10:38They're in the final, are we happy to see them in the final?
10:41I'm happy to see them in the final because I feel like I'm happy to see that she's open to growth
10:46She's for sure not the same Huda from the start and I feel like it's because what she's receiving she's open to
10:52And I do feel like they are a good match
10:54If they can make it work, I think they could go the distance because he's so calm, cool and collected
10:59And he's like trying to understand her
11:01That's what I think
11:02She's a little bit more fiery, but together I feel like they can balance each other out
11:04Balance each other, that's what I thought
11:06Yeah
11:07Okay, let's move on to Iris and Pepe next
11:10These two came in as bombshells together, ended up as a couple
11:14Did anyone see these two coming at all?
11:17No?
11:19I feel like for sure they were not on my bingo card
11:22I see them and I'm like, oh they seem like they really like each other, they have a lot of chemistry
11:25I feel like they do connect well, but they just didn't see each other on each other's radar when they first came in
11:30Because they came in as bombshells together
11:32And I feel like when you do that, you just ignore the person you walked in
11:35Because it's off limits
11:36Yes, off limits for some reason and you just explore other people
11:38Yeah, that's true
11:39But do we like them as a couple?
11:40Yeah, I like them
11:41Yeah, they're cute
11:42Yeah, they're cute together
11:43They have really good chemistry
11:44Pepe's mum said she saw a spark from their very first conversation
11:49How insane is that?
11:50Do mums always know best?
11:51They do
11:52That'll do it for me too
11:53If my mum was saying that, I'd be like, done, we're getting married
11:55Okay
11:56Yeah
11:57He's the one
11:58Yep
11:59Finally, last but not least
12:01Amaya and Brian
12:03What did we make of this couple?
12:05I adore that
12:06They melt my heart
12:07So
12:08And their parents, they all got along so well
12:11Like, it was so beautiful, I couldn't stop crying during that
12:14Same
12:15Like, just seeing the pure joy from all of them
12:16Yeah
12:17I'm just so happy for Amaya
12:18Because she's gone through the most extreme journey in there compared to anyone
12:22Like, ups and downs, like, every couple of days
12:25And she's, like, glowing now, you know?
12:26Oh, she's just smiling 24-7
12:28Yes
12:29Oh, it's the best
12:30The night in the hideaway was very steamy
12:32Yeah
12:33Do you reckon we'll get a real baby Elijah very soon?
12:37I hope so
12:38A mini papaya
12:40Aww
12:41A mini papaya
12:42So cute
12:43Aww
12:44Imagine the zoomies that baby's gonna have
12:47For real
12:48Well, great chat, guys, thank you so much
12:50Now, Love Island has an impressive list of celebrity superfans, including our next guest
12:58She's a Grammy-nominated platinum selling artist
13:02But now she's hit the big time by coming on Aftersun
13:06It's Chloe Bailey
13:08Aww
13:09Hi, Chloe, you look so gorgeous
13:14Thank you, my love, so do you guys
13:17Welcome to Aftersun
13:19I don't know how to act right now
13:22Can I just say, Justine is fangirling big time over you here
13:27I'm kicking hard, girl
13:30Got you right there
13:31I wish you could feel my love
13:32Aww
13:33I will cry right now
13:35Chloe, you're a huge Love Island fan, how long have you been watching for?
13:39So, I've been watching for a while, I actually started with your season
13:43What? Shut up!
13:44With you and Molly Mae and Mommy
13:46Yes, yes, so I started with the UK version with my sis and I
13:50Oh my God
13:52So then I saw you lovely ladies and it's just been up ever since
13:56Wild
13:57Yeah, I'm happy to see everyone's falling in love with Love Island like I've been loving it for years
14:01Oh my God
14:03So, Chloe, tell me, what are you making of this season so far?
14:07I feel like you don't know what to expect, but I feel like I have really good intuition
14:13Because I have been wanting Alondria and Nick together since day one
14:19Like every time with the challenges, they would just look so cute together, the kisses would be extra passionate
14:24Yeah
14:25And I was like, nah, something's there
14:26You would pick her up and you see her nice, plump, juicy booty and he's like looking like he's handling it
14:31I was like, something is here
14:33Yes, like absolute ass goals
14:36Yup
14:37I am drooling over that ass every single day
14:40Did you see her mom too?
14:41Her mom is
14:42That's what she, you could tell she got it from her mom
14:44When her mom walked in, I was like, this checks out, baddies all the way around
14:48Oh my God, who are you loving at the moment?
14:51My girl, Amaya, I relate to her so much and I'm so happy people have gone this journey with her throughout the season and really just saw that she's such a sweetheart
15:00I am absolutely obsessed with her
15:02Aww
15:03And he was the guy who stood up for her
15:04Yup
15:05We love a man who supports his queen
15:06Yes
15:07We do
15:08Have you got a favourite moment of the season?
15:11My favourite moment is when Amaya was singing her affirmations in the mirror
15:16Yeah
15:17Yes
15:18It's just so cute, I think that was my favourite moment of the whole season and I really loved everyone seeing their families
15:25What are you doing to celebrate the finale tomorrow?
15:27I will be in St Lucia with my glass of wine, I will be watching on my iPad and it's going to be a good time
15:34You don't mind if we join you, right?
15:35I don't mind, come with me
15:37We can all share the iPad
15:40Let's go
15:42Are you going to watch Beyond the Villa because that's coming out soon?
15:46Yes, I'm nosy
15:47Same
15:48I love my girls on there so it'll be fun to see how their journeys are after this experience has happened
15:55One final question, who are you rooting for tomorrow night?
15:59I think I want Amaya to win because that's my girl so I'm going to have to go for Amaya
16:03And I want Nick and Alondria to withstand the test of time after the show
16:07But I feel like Amaya deserves it the most, really has gone through it
16:12I'm like, I scream at the TV like, girl, where do you get your energy from?
16:17She just gives all the time
16:19When she gets the zoomies and starts running
16:21Oh my god, I'm so obsessed
16:23I love all the couples to be honest
16:25It's a great final, right?
16:27All the finalists are just incredible
16:29You've been amazing, Chloe, thank you so much
16:32Oh, I love y'all, thank you
16:34We love you
16:35We love you
16:36Give it up for Chloe Bailey, everyone
16:38We love you
16:40Thank you
16:41We love you
16:44Gorgeous, gorgeous girl
16:45Oh my god, she is fine
16:47She is fine
16:49She's fine
16:50I don't think I've ever geeked that hard in my life
16:52Coming up, our finalists reflect on their Love Island journeys
16:56And Taylor and Clark will be on the sofa
16:59But next, we get the Love Island lowdown from Ariana Maddox
17:03See you in a bit
17:05Woo!
17:22Welcome back to Aftersun USA
17:24Now, I've been waiting all year for this reunion
17:28She's a fashion icon and an incredible TV host
17:32And I'm so lucky to call her a friend
17:34No one does anything quite like her
17:37It's Ariana Maddox!
17:39Oh!
17:40My queen has returned!
17:42Oh my god, let's pretend we didn't have dinner together
17:45Oh my god!
17:46Oh my god!
17:47Oh my god!
17:48Oh my god!
17:49You look so gorgeous, as always
17:53You look stunning
17:54Oh my god, I missed you so much
17:56I need this
17:57I missed you
17:58I missed getting to sit on this sofa with you
18:00I know!
18:01And like just talk about everything that's going on
18:03Well I've been watching and I literally was like
18:06Yeah, what a season, right?
18:08Can you actually believe it's the finale tomorrow?
18:10It feels like it's gone by so fast
18:12Well I'm really sad because obviously I've not been here
18:14Yeah
18:15And like I'm like in and out
18:16We only just got you back
18:17I know!
18:18Obviously so much has happened this season
18:20But it somehow feels like it has been shorter
18:23Even though it's the same amount of time
18:25Yeah, yeah
18:26I don't know
18:27Like the other day I was thinking about
18:28How we only had a few days left here in Fiji
18:31And I was, you know, watching the sunset
18:33And getting emotional
18:34I just was thinking like
18:35How did it go by so fast?
18:37And like I'm gonna miss it
18:39Now what did you make of this week?
18:41I was not okay watching the families come in
18:44I literally got so emotional
18:45Yeah
18:46Did you get emotional?
18:47I did, I got emotional
18:48And I love when the families come
18:50Because like I feel like it gives you
18:53Such a better sense of knowing each one of them
18:56When you see them interact with people who really know them
19:00And who they feel super comfortable with
19:02That gag with the screen and then Amaya's family
19:06Oh and they're snooking
19:07Yeah
19:08I was almost
19:09When they did this I was like
19:10We need like a slow-mo
19:13Yeah, no
19:14I know
19:15No, that was everything to me
19:17It was really wholesome
19:18Yes
19:19That's the correct word
19:20It was just wholesome to me
19:21I was like, oh my god
19:22I could watch that all day long
19:23Yeah, it was super, super cute
19:25That Viva Las Villa challenge
19:27That looked so fun
19:28Yeah
19:29I love watching the messy
19:31The, you know, just pouring buckets of different colors of liquid on each other
19:36Like I just love watching all the ways that each islander kind of will do each thing differently
19:41Whether it's the sliding down the pole
19:43Which is
19:44Huda coming down that pole and she was like
19:45She was so impressive
19:46Oh my god
19:47Although the pole I think needed to be a little bit
19:50It was like
19:51It was
19:52Yeah, they were getting caught on it
19:53I was like, that sounds painful
19:54It needed a bit of lubrication
19:56Lubrication
19:57Lubrication
19:58It was definitely fun
19:59I love watching all the channels
20:00So much fun to watch
20:01Because it's like best friends just having the best time
20:03Yeah, everyone just kind of messes about
20:05Yeah
20:06It's such a blast to watch
20:07Yeah
20:08Yeah
20:09Well apart from reuniting with me
20:10Yes
20:11Obviously
20:12What's been your favourite moment of the series?
20:14I've really enjoyed like getting to go in and tell the girls about Kasa
20:21Because it was sneaky
20:23Yeah
20:24I got to sneak in there
20:25At one point we weren't sure like should I take my shoes off?
20:27Oh
20:28Just in case I made too much noise
20:29You were like no they look too good
20:31Yeah
20:32And like just getting to be a part of like those fun moments with everyone
20:36Because so many times I come in there with bad news or I come in with bad news disguised as good news
20:41Or it starts as good news and then it turns as bad news
20:44So when I get to come in and just have fun with them and do something like that
20:47Or even like the leather challenge which was just fun
20:50Those are my favourite moments of the season for sure
20:52Okay well my favourite moment was every single one of your looks because you slayed every goddamn time
20:59Thank you
21:00Where do you actually go with the mic packs?
21:03Oh my god
21:04Because some of those looks I'm like
21:05Yeah
21:06Obviously the one where the top was like this
21:09Yes
21:10Like it was pants but that was attached right?
21:12Yeah
21:13Where the hell did the mic pack go?
21:14Here
21:15Oh right here?
21:16Yeah
21:17That should be a game in itself
21:18Yeah
21:19It's looking at the looks and trying to find where is the mic pack
21:21A lot of times it is kind of up in my butt crack I'm not going to lie
21:26Oh
21:27Oh
21:28But like that could be every time I walk in that could be a game of where is the mic pack
21:34Guess where my mic pack is today
21:35Yeah I'll see if you get it right
21:36Literally
21:37Literally
21:38What was your favourite look?
21:40Oh man
21:41I really like the mermaid multicoloured Casa look
21:46That's kind of like my dream hair I've always wanted and just everything about that was super fun
21:51You can pull off any look though
21:53Oh thank you
21:54Like every hairstyle
21:55I mean you're just hot
21:56Well professional help is key
21:58God we love our glam team

22:05Yeah if it was left to me
22:06Oh no
22:07Oh yeah no
22:08Well like I walk around LA and no one even knows who I am
22:10Literally I get that as well until I open my mouth and they're like are you alright Higgins?
22:14I'm like don't look at me
22:15Yeah
22:16Okay tell me how excited are you for our final four?
22:21I'm so excited
22:22You know what's so crazy is these couples are all so wildly different and unique from each other
22:31And you know if you look at each one of these couples journeys they're all just so wildly different
22:37It's really anyone's game at this point
22:39Yeah

32:17I did wanna show her respect and have a conversation with her but also continuing to be authentic and move in the same way that I was before she got there so
32:28Yeah, of course
32:29Taylor, you declared in front of everyone that you chose Clark during the challenge
32:36How was that?
32:38How was that moment for you?

32:48Yeah, and at that moment it was like they wanted to answer right then and there so
32:52Right

32:59I'm gonna tell them, whatever
33:00It was actually Ace and Shelley

36:07How would you describe your partner in three words?
36:10I would say funny, charismatic, and genuine
36:13Aw
36:14Funny, confident, and ambitious
36:19Outgoing, funny as fuck
36:23Emphasis on the as fuck
36:25And he's super caring

36:29Uh, nurturing
36:30And
36:31Motivated
36:32Aw
36:33Fine as hell
36:35Okay
36:36When did you first know you were catching feelings?
36:40Hmm
36:41When he sent out for me during the stand on your business challenge
36:45I was like, ooh, okay, you know what?
36:48That's, that's something right there
36:50At the dock
36:52Mmm
36:53I would have to say the same
36:55When we kissed in the speakeasy
36:57Really?
36:58Yeah, that was a very romantic moment for me
37:00She kind of honestly backed up into me
37:02You put him out of business
37:04It is true
37:08What's your partner's best physical feature?
37:11Mmm

39:55Beautiful girl
39:56You guys literally look stunning
39:58We've missed you so much
40:00I've missed you guys, like I want to be on that couch right now
40:03It doesn't even feel like that long ago that you were sat on this couch with us
40:07I can't believe it's like been a year, like I'm watching this series and I'm like wait, I used to sit on that chair, wait
40:14I'm like I feel like I'm back at home, it's like a weird feeling
40:17Um, what are you thinking of this season?
40:20Oh my god, okay so many thoughts are going through my head, they're absolutely killing it
40:25And I was bawling my eyes out at the family visit
40:28Us too, us too, that was so emotional
40:31Have you got a favourite moment from this season?
40:34I feel like that would have to be my favourite moment
40:37Because everyone was like so, like uplifted
40:40Everyone was like so happy for each other
40:42I love seeing like everyone's families come in
40:45Like, I didn't think I would be crying outside of the villa with something to do with Love Island
40:51Here we are, that is so real
40:54How has life been like after Love Island?
40:57Oh my god, I feel like it's not been real
41:00Like I'm so incredibly grateful for like what opportunities I got given from Love Island
41:06But it's been like, we're filming our new show
41:09But it's been like, it's been amazing, I can't complain
41:12How is the love life? I have to ask this because I mean, I'm just being nosy now
41:17Are you single? Are you coupled up? Tell me everything
41:20No, I've got a boyfriend, I'm not single
41:22Oh, you have a boyfriend? What?
41:25She's so surprised
41:26I know, shock, right?
41:28Aw, I'm so happy for you
41:30We need a hard lunch
41:31Thank you
41:33We have to talk about Beyond the Villa, starring the season 6 cast
41:37What was it like being reunited with everyone?
41:40It was honestly such an amazing feeling
41:43I feel like none of us have all been in one space at the same time for a while
41:47But all being in one place, there's gonna be drama
41:50Wait, is there a lot of drama?
41:52I mean, we're, come on now, look at our group
41:55There's gonna be drama in it
41:56But I feel like the best thing about us is that we, we can dish it out
42:03But we're such a like big loving family that we all kind of like resolve it, lean on each other and like figure it out somehow
42:10And if you don't, keep it moving
42:12What can viewers expect to see on the show?
42:15Have you any gossip for us? Like any exclusives or anything? Just give me anything
42:20Ooh, I don't know about gossip, but I feel like an exciting thing that people will be like looking is to see how the relationships and how the couples get along
42:32That's so beautiful
42:33But you'll also see friendships that you might not have seen in the villa, like grow
42:38It's gonna be a good summer, like everyone should be tuned in
42:41I am so, so excited
42:43Are you just going?

43:13Take it away Ian
43:15Oh hey Maura Higgins, so glad to have you back, you traitor
43:21Anyway, it's Ian Sterling here, you probably won't remember me, but I'm the voice of Love Island
43:26And the voice of, you know, very little else actually
43:30I'm very busy, you know, professionally doing this
43:33Anyway, I am doing my best unseen moment of the season
43:36And I said to the producers, if it's all season, I'm gonna need a top 50 minimum
43:40They said you can have one moment
43:42I said fine, top 10, final offer
43:45And we negotiated, and I used my star power
43:48So here I am, with my top one unseen moment of the season
43:52And this one is an absolute banger
43:54If it had to be one, it had to be this one
43:56And it is of course Amaya, in the makeup room, singing her smash hit
44:01This is who the F I am
44:04And this isn't any clip
44:05This is the full length, unseen version

44:57Oh, I be cracking myself up
45:00People probably think I'm insane
45:04Shit
45:05Maybe I am crazy
45:07I never said I wasn't crazy
45:09I never said I was perfect
45:11But at least I'm good looking
45:13And at least I'm funny
45:15Like shit
45:18I never said I was perfect
45:22I never said I didn't have any flaws
45:27But at least I'm pretty

45:32And at least I'm my own best friend
45:33That's fair
45:35You fucking take me
45:37As you motherfucking take me
45:39This is who the fuck I am
45:43So there you have it
45:44What started its life as a little bit of a mumble in a makeup room
45:47This makeup room has undoubtedly become a multi-million dollar record deal
45:51Makes me wonder why I've never mumbled to myself in a makeup room whilst wearing a bikini
45:56Well I did once but we can't get into it
45:58For legal reasons
45:59Anyway, that's all for me for tonight and for this entire season

52:07i can see just by your reactions like can you just put the record straight for us she's in florida i'm in
52:14la you know we have two separate lives and when i came here the first thing i said was i noticed you
52:19i know who you are wow how crazy that's insane that's how you know it's like meant it's like
52:23yeah meant to be it it feels like that because it's like the odds are insane yeah yeah yes i have
52:29to ask you some islanders yeah thought you were like a ringleader in the villa yeah i was very vocal
52:36about my opinion and i understand i'm a leader at the end of the day you know some people are gonna be
52:42hurt by my decisions but yeah i love everybody and everybody had their own experience here so yeah yeah
52:47the islanders chose you guys to spend a night in the hideaway i have to ask can you sing the song

53:07the way yeah we love that song i think it gets the people going it really does what's next for you guys
53:15now how are you going to make the long distance thing work honestly i feel like we could be a
53:20million miles apart we're still going to make it work at the end of the day i feel like if you're
53:32intentional and you know what you want you're going to make it happen regardless and that's where we're
53:36at and she's going to be moving to la soon exactly so yes yes so guys who are you most looking forward

54:33because she's super hilarious like me and her we already squashed beef and chopped it up like
54:38i love her so i definitely think her and brian got something special amaya she went through a
54:43roller coaster with the guys that she met and you know brian was someone that really truly seen her
54:50like the moment he came in here and has stood behind her even when they were just friends so the fact
54:55that they ended up having like a relationship and their families loved each other too it was just like
55:00damn like i can't deny what i'm seeing so it really is tough though it really is tough but between those
55:05two for sure you've all been such incredible islanders honestly i'm afraid that's all we have
