01:07Maura, have you got anything to add?
01:10On the eve of the finale, there's only one place to be.
01:13Welcome to Love Island USA Aftersun.
01:24Boo-la, it's so great to be back.
01:28A huge thank you to Sophie Monk and E.L. Booker for filling in.
01:32They absolutely smashed it.
01:34Now, I can't tell you where I've been.
01:35It's top secret.
01:37I've been doing traitors.
01:39It's kind of out there already, so.
01:41Now that that's out of the way, I need to introduce three people I know are fateful to the end.
01:48She's given maximum laughter, no filter.
01:52It's Sally Vasquez.
01:53Woo!
01:55Woo!
01:57Totsie, I'm your bag.
01:58I missed you.
01:59No.
02:01He's given whole, it's catamole.
02:05Woo!
02:06Woo!
02:06And she's given two-time Love Island winner and Sally's VFF.
02:12It's Justine and Eva.
02:14Woo!
02:15Woo!
02:15Justine, you just got to have you.
02:17She's phenomenal.
02:17Thank you, you look stunning.
02:19I missed you all.
02:20I miss you.
02:21I've never seen you in forever.
02:22No, so much.
02:22I felt like I was missing out.
02:24No, we kept it, Sophie kept it warm for you.
02:27But I'm so happy you're here.
02:28What a bang to end on.
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...
02:38What a great cast.
02:40So, but so.
02:40Justine, I have to ask, what's it like being back in Fiji?
02:43Oh, it's amazing.
02:45I've missed it.
02:45It feels like home at this point.
02:47Is it bringing back lots of memories?
02:48Yeah.
02:49Some, 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.
02:57What's it like being reunited?
02:58Well, you probably see each other all the time, right?
03:01Yeah.
03:01But this is cool because, like having you on Aftersend, I literally was telling her, I
03:05was like, I needed her to come out here.
03:06I was like, please, I need you, I need a bit of a home, especially with how crazy this
03:09season has been.
03:10I'm like, remind me what friendship is, please.
03:12Aw.
03:12Girl, I got you.
03:14So I wasn't enough?
03:15Nice to know that.
03:16I'm sorry.
03:16I love you.
03:17Now you know I love you.
03:19Thanks for filling in.
03:21And Justine, you won Love Island Games with Jack.
03:24I have to ask, what happened after the show?
03:27Well, so we're not together.
03:30Yeah, I kind of figured that.
03:32After the show, I feel like we tried our best, but I don't know if it's just me, but
03:39like there's always other people still in the picture.
03:42So I don't really know.
03:44It's not you.
03:45It's not you.
03:45Girl.
03:46It's not you.
03:47It's not you, Queen.
03:48It's always him.
03:49It's always him.
03:51No, we did our best, I guess, but I don't know.
03:54Because you guys were cute.
03:56Yeah.
03:56I feel like that's a question you'd have to ask Jack, because...
03:59We got Jack on the line.
04:00Oh, wait.
04:01He's actually here.
04:02No, I'm not.
04:03I didn't know.
04:04You said, oh, hell no.
04:06So your fellow islanders voted for you to win the $100,000 cash prize and left
04:12you a big decision to make.
04:14Let's have a quick reminder.
04:17So Justine, it's now time to find out whether you were here for love or whether it was all
04:22just a game.
04:26I've been in a situation before where I've trusted my connection with somebody and got
04:32done dirty a little bit in the end.
04:38And I'm kind of struggling with that.
04:43I just feel like the connection I felt with Jack this time was a lot more real than the
04:49last time.
04:50He had a rough time in here and I feel like we both really deserve it.
04:54So I'm going to split it.
05:03That's heavy.
05:04Justine, if you were to turn back time now, would you have just taken the money?
05:09Probably.
05:09I said fucking lately.
05:12Cut me that check.
05:13My mama needs that.
05:14To be fair, both times you're kind of like the single winner.
05:17Because it's like, you get these men there.
05:20Yeah.
05:20As my plus one.
05:21Yeah.
05:22You're two plus one.
05:23Yeah, you should have just took the money around.
05:25Yeah.
05:25To be honest.
05:26I want to ask you all actually, Games Season 2 is coming very soon.
05:31Would any of you do it again?
05:32Absolutely not.
05:34No, Sally, why?
05:36Absolutely not.
05:37Did you see how I got eliminated?
05:40They literally chewed me up.
05:42I was like, I'm okay.
05:43Callum, what about you?
05:45I was thinking no at first, but as soon as I came back to Fiji, it was like that nostalgia
05:50feeling.
05:51You would?
05:51Who knows?
05:52Yeah, maybe.
05:52I don't know.
05:53Okay.
05:53Producers, I hope you're listening.
05:55Callum wants to do it.
05:57Keep me in Fiji.
05:59Now guys, we've got so much to talk about.
06:01Now 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
06:08in the villa.
06:13We've been on quite the journey.
06:16I wouldn't want to spend this experience with anybody else but her.
06:19Thank you again for believing in me.
06:21I couldn't imagine me picking someone else other than you.
06:25You recognize the queen that I am without ever trying to thin my light.
06:29Spend every day with her.
06:30It's been a good feeling.
06:31I feel like I can be myself.
06:34This boy was a risk worth taking.
06:36I'm giddy right now.
06:37I ain't gonna lie to you.
06:43I'm finally couple up with someone that doesn't get scared when 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.
06:56Another day in paradise.
06:58What you gonna do when they come for you?
07:02What the fuck?
07:06I don't know what the fuck I was hearing.
07:07Is that covering my head?
07:08Why are you cursing around the baby?
07:09Oh my gosh.
07:10No, no, no, no, no.
07:11Nope, nope.
07:11She's a baby.
07:12She cannot hold her head up.
07:14I started getting like this really fiery feeling in my chest.
07:18Like flutters in all parts of my body.
07:20I didn't realize seeing Nick in dad mode made him look even better.
07:26I'm a nurse.
07:27The hideaway is now open.
07:30Woo!
07:30Are you ready for the hideaway?
07:32Yeah, we need to go.
07:33Come on.
07:39Will you be exclusive to Shelly Evelyn Bussain?
07:41Of course.
07:45It's family day!
07:51I 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, but it's all...
08:12We made it to the final four.
08:16Final four!
08:18Let's go, America!
08:19Let's go!
08:21The final something that we never really expected.
08:23Fanatics!
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.
08:33I know.
08:34It's so good.
08:35We literally had a box of tissues there, didn'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.
08:42It's been a huge week, obviously.
08:45We now have our 2025 finalists!
08:50What the heck?
08:50That's crazy.
08:51That's crazy.
08:52No, that is crazy.
08:53That is actually crazy.
08:54Look at them.
08:55Here 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?
09:02I felt like, because they were in there from the start, their connection really grew.
09:05I for sure thought they would at least be final four.
09:08I did too.
09:09I was quite like, oh my God, why?
09:11I was shocked.
09:11So shocked.
09:12I think Ace and Shelly and Taylor and Clark deserve to be in the top four.
09:16Yeah.
09:17I feel like Taylor and Clark had the strongest romantic connection in there, out 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.
09:26America, man.
09:28Even though it's late in the game, it's still nice to see all these new connections develop,
09:33you know?
09:33Because I feel like sometimes it is a bit of fate in there, especially with Nick and Alondria.
09:37A lot of people can see that there's an underlying spark there, and they just didn't explore it early on.
09:41They look so good together.
09:42They do.
09:43I love them together.
09:44I feel like he brings out such a playful side in her, and she brings out, like, she demands more
09:51of him.
09:52You know what I mean?
09:52Like, I feel like he's a man around her, and I love him.
09:56I agree.
09:57Yeah.
09:57I loved them when they went into the photo vote, and he was like...
10:00Yes!
10:01I was like, yes!
10:02Yes!
10:03And I feel like everything happens for a reason.
10:05Yeah.
10:05Like, they both got dumped at the same time.
10:07They both came back together.
10:09They tried things out, didn't work, and now they've ended up together again, you know?
10:13And the horse is like...
10:14No!
10:15And they said, come on!
10:17You're meant to be together!
10:18Yeah!
10:18We're giving you one more chance!
10:20There's only ones who don't see it, but we said we'll help you out.
10:23Yeah.
10:23They met the families now, and both mums seem to really approve.
10:27Yeah.
10:27I love that Nick's mom, like, wanted them together from the beginning.
10:31From the beginning.
10:31I know!
10:32She said it straight away!
10:33Emily approval is everything.
10:35It is.
10:35It's everything.
10:36Let's move on to Huda and Chris.
10:39They're in the final.
10:40Are we happy to see them in the final?
10:42I'm happy to see them in the final, because I feel like I'm happy to see that she's open to
10:46growth.
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
10:52open 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,
11:00and he's trying to understand her.
11:01She's a little bit more fiery, but together, I feel like they can balance each other out.
11:05Balance each other.
11:05That'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.
11:15Did anyone see these two coming?
11:17At all?
11:19No?
11:20I feel like for sure they were not on my bingo card.
11:23I see them and I'm like, oh, they seem like they really like each other, they have a lot of
11:25chemistry.
11:26I feel like they do connect well, but they just didn't see each other on each other's radars when they
11:30first came in,
11:31because they came in as bombshells together.
11:33And I feel like when you do that, you just ignore the person you walked in.
11:37Yes, off limits for some reason, and you just explore other people.
11:39But do we like them as a couple?
11:41Yeah, I like them.
11:41Yeah, they're cute.
11:41I like them.
11:42Yeah, they're cute together.
11:43They have really good chemistry.
11:45Pepe's mum said she saw a spark from their very first conversation.
11:49How insane is that?
11:51Do mums always know best?
11:52They do.
11:53That'll do it for me too.
11:54If my mum was saying that, I'd be like, done, we're getting married.
11:56Okay, yeah.
11:57He's the one.
11:58Yep.
11:59Finally, last but not least, Amaya and Brian.
12:03What did we make of this couple?
12:05I adore them.
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.
12:17I'm just so happy for Amaya, because 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?
12:27Oh, she's just smiling.
12:28Yes.
12:2924-7.
12:30Oh, it's the best.
12:31The night in the hideaway was very steamy.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Do you reckon we'll get a real baby Elijah very soon?
12:37I hope so.
12:38A mini papaya.
12:40A mini papaya.
12:42A mini papaya.
12:43So cute.
12:43Aw.
12:44Imagine the zoomies that baby's gonna have.
12:47For real.
12:48Well, great chat, guys.
12:50Thank you so much.
12:51Now, 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.
13:11Hi, Chloe.
13:12You look so gorgeous.
13:15Thank you, my love.
13:16So do you guys.
13:17Welcome to Aftersun.
13:20I don't know how to act right now.
13:22Can I just say, Justine is fangirling big time over you here.
13:27You're hard, girl.
13:30Got you right there.
13:31I wish you could feel my love.
13:34Oh, I will cry right now.
13:35Chloe, you're a huge Love Island fan.
13:38How long have you been watching for?
13:40So I've been watching for a while.
13:41I actually started with your season.
13:44What?
13:44Shut up.
13:44With you and Molly Mae.
13:46Yes.
13:47Yes.
13:48So I started with the UK version with my sis and I.
13:51Oh, my God.
13:52So then I saw you lovely ladies and it's just been up ever since.
13:56Wild.
13:57I'm happy to see everyone's falling in love with Love Island.
14:00Like I've been loving it for years.
14:02Oh, my God.
14:04So Chloe, tell me, what are you making of this season so far?
14:08I 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.
14:23The kisses would be extra passionate.
14:24Yeah.
14:25And I was like, no, something's there.
14:27You would pick her up and you see her nice, plump, juicy booty and he's like looking like
14:30he's handling it.
14:32I was like, something is here.
14:33Yes.
14:34Mm-hmm.
14:35Like absolute ass goals.
14:37I am drooling over that ass every single day.
14:40Did you see her mom too?
14:42Her mom is...
14:42That's what she...
14:43You could tell she got it from her mom.
14:45Yes.
14:45When her mom walked in, I was like, this checks out.
14:47Baddies all the way around.
14:49Oh my God.
14:50Who are you loving at the moment?
14:52My girl, Amaya.
14:53I relate to her so much and I'm so happy people have gone through this journey with her throughout
14:58the season and really just saw that she's such a sweetheart.
15:01I am absolutely obsessed with her.
15:02And he was the guy who stood up for her.
15:04Yup.
15:05We love a man who supports his queen.
15:07Yes.
15:07We do.
15:08Have you got a favorite moment of the season?
15:11My favorite moment is when Amaya was singing her affirmations in the mirror.
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yes.
15:18It's just so cute.
15:19I think that was my favorite moment of the whole season.
15:21And I really loved everyone seeing their families.
15:25What are you doing to celebrate the finale tomorrow?
15:28I will be in St. Lucia with my glass of wine.
15:30I 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?
15:36I don't mind.
15:37Come with me.
15:38We can all share the iPads.
15:43Are you going to watch Beyond the Villa?
15:45Because that's coming out soon.
15:46Yes.
15:47I'm nosy.
15:48Same.
15:49I love my girls on there.
15:51So it'll be fun to see how their journeys are after this experience has happened.
15:56One final question.
15:58Who are you rooting for tomorrow night?
16:00I think I want Amaya to win because that's my girl.
16:02Oh.
16:02So I'm going to have to go for Amaya.
16:04And I want Nick and Alondria to withstand the test of time after the show.
16:09But I feel like Amaya deserves it the most.
16:11She really has gone through it.
16:13I'm like, I scream at the TV like, girl, where do you get your energy from?
16:17She just gives all the time.
16:20When she gets the zoomies and starts running.
16:21Yes.
16:22Oh, my God.
16:22I'm so obsessed.
16:23I love all the couples, to be honest.
16:25It's a great final, right?
16:27Yeah.
16:27All the finalists are just incredible.
16:29You've been amazing, Chloe.
16:31Thank you so much.
16:32Oh, I love y'all.
16:34We love you.
16:35We love you.
16:36Give it up for Chloe Bailey, everyone.
16:41We love you.
16:44Gorgeous, gorgeous girl.
16:46Oh, my God.
16:46She is fine.
16:47She is fine.
16:49She's banging.
16:50I don't think I've ever geeked that hard in my life.
16:53Coming up, our finalists reflect on their Love Island journeys.
16:57And Taylor and Clark will be on the sofa.
16:59But next, we get the Love Island lowdown from Ariana Maddox.
17:04See you in a bit.
17:05Woo!
17:22Welcome back to Aftersun USA.
17:25Woo!
17:25Now, 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.
17:35No one does anything quite like her.
17:37It's Ariana Maddox!
17:40Woo!
17:40Woo!
17:41Oh!
17:43My queen has returned!
17:46Oh, my God.
17:46Let's pretend we didn't have dinner together.
17:48Yes!
17:48Oh, my God!
17:49Oh, my God!
17:50Woo!
17:52You look so gorgeous, as always.
17:54You look stunning.
17:55Oh, my God.
17:55I missed you so much.
17:57I missed you.
17:58I missed getting to sit on this sofa with you.
18:01And, like, just talk about everything that's going on.
18:03Well, I've been watching and I literally was like, yeah, what a season, right?
18:08Can you actually believe it's the finale tomorrow?
18:11It feels like it's gone by so fast.
18:13Well, I'm really sad because, obviously, I've not been here.
18:16And, 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, but 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 how we only had a few days left here in Fiji,
18:31and I was, you know, watching the sunset and getting emotional.
18:34I just was thinking, like, how did it go by so fast?
18:38And, like, I'm going to miss it.
18:40Now, what did you make of this week?
18:42I was not okay watching the families come in.
18:45I literally got so emotional.
18:46Did you get emotional?
18:47I did.
18:48I got emotional.
18:48And I love when the families come because, like, I feel like it gives you such a better sense of
18:55knowing each one of them
18:57when you see them interact with people who really know them and who they feel super comfortable with.
19:03That gag with the screen and then Amaya's family.
19:07Oh, and they're snooking.
19:08Yeah.
19:08I was almost, when they did this, I was like, ah, we need, like, a slow-mo.
19:13Yeah, no.
19:14I know.
19:15No, that was everything to me.
19:17It was really wholesome.
19:19Yes.
19:20That'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.
19:24It was super, super cute.
19:25That Viva Las Villa challenge, that looked so fun.
19:29Yeah.
19:29I love watching the messy, the, 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.
19:42Whether it's the sliding down the pole.
19:43Huda coming down that pole and she was like...
19:45She was so impressive.
19:47Oh, my God.
19:48Although, 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.
19:55It needed a bit of lubrication, guys.
19:58Lubrication.
19:59It was definitely fun.
20:00I love watching all the channels.
20:01Because it's like best friends just having the best time.
20:04Yeah, everyone just kind of messes about.
20:07Yeah.
20:07It's such a blast to watch.
20:08Yeah.
20:08Yeah.
20:09Well, apart from reuniting with me...
20:11Yes.
20:11Obviously.
20:12What's been your favorite moment of the series?
20:15Ugh.
20:16I've really enjoyed, like, getting to go in and tell the girls about Casa.
20:22Because it was sneaky.
20:24Yeah.
20:24I got to sneak in there.
20:25At one point, we weren't sure, like, should I take my shoes off?
20:28Oh.
20:28Just in case I made too much noise.
20:30You 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.
20:39Or I come in with bad news disguised as good news.
20:42Or it starts as good news and then it turns to 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 favorite moments of the season, for sure.
20:53Okay, well, my favorite moment was every single one of your looks.
20:57Because you slid every goddamn time!
21:01Where do you actually go with the mic packs?
21:03Oh, my God, so...
21:05Because some of those looks, I'm like...
21:06Yeah.
21:06Obviously, the one where the top was like this.
21:09Yes.
21:10And then it looked like it was pants, but that was attached, right?
21:12Yeah.
21:13Where the hell did the mic pack go?
21:15Here.
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's the mic pack.
21:22A lot of times, it is kind of up in my butt crack.
21:26I'm not going to lie.
21:27Oh.
21:28Oh.
21:28Okay.
21:29But that could be...
21:30Every time I walk in, that could be a game of where's the mic pack.
21:34Guess where my mic pack is today.
21:36Yeah.
21:36See if you get it right.
21:37Literally.
21:38What was your favorite look?
21:40Oh, man.
21:41I really like the mermaid multicolored Casa look.
21:47That's kind of like my dream hair I've always wanted.
21:49And just everything about that was super fun.
21:52You can pull off any look though.
21:54Oh, thank you.
21:54Like every hairstyle.
21:56I mean, you're just hot.
21:57Well, professional help is key.
21:59God, we love our glam team.
22:02They are good.
22:03Yeah, they are.
22:03He goes to them.
22:04Yeah, they are.
22:05They're great.
22:05Yeah, if it was left to me, oh no.
22:07Oh yeah, no.
22:08Well, like I walk around LA and no one even knows where I am.
22:11Literally.
22:11Literally, I get that as well until I open my mouth and they're like, are you more Higgins?
22:14I'm like, don't look at me.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Okay, tell me, how excited are you for our final four?
22:21I'm so excited.
22:23You know, what's so crazy is these couples are all so wildly different and unique from each other.
22:31Uh huh.
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.
22:40Yeah.
22:40And yeah, I'm just excited to see how it all shakes out.
22:44Now, Ariana, it's usually you who brings surprises to the Islanders.
22:48But this time, the Islanders got a little surprise for you.
22:52Take a look at this.
22:54Dear Ariana, a.k.a. Queen Ariana, a.k.a. The Don, a.k.a. El Jefe.
23:01Miss Golis, Barbie, walking son.
23:05I just want to say how much I appreciate you and everything you do for us here on Love Island.
23:12I admire you so much.
23:15And I think that you were such a fucking powerful woman.
23:17Your aura is absolutely insane.
23:22You were one of my biggest, well, are my biggest inspirations of why I have the standards that I do
23:28and why I always fix the crown on my head whenever I feel like it's tilted.
23:33We don't like it all the time when you come in, but when you do, you have this light to
23:37you.
23:38I always look forward to your outfits. Girl, you be killing it.
23:41You always walked with such a, like, sexy strut.
23:45You're always looking fly and with the fits and everything.
23:48I will say your outfits are fucking iconic.
23:51I'm definitely gonna steal some fashion tips from you, my girl.
23:54I wanna be you.
23:55From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you for everything.
23:58I know you don't have the easiest job. You gotta deal with all of us.
24:01You know, seeing it on television is one thing, but seeing that shit up close in person is another thing.
24:07Getting to talk to you, you know, on the side when cameras aren't filming has been a pleasure.
24:11Your definition of how a woman should carry herself and to never, never, never let anybody define who they are.
24:19So thank you, Ariana.
24:20It was such a pleasure meeting you.
24:22All love from Brian. I'm for you.
24:25Love you, girl.
24:28Aerie, you are the best. You keep on being the queen that you are.
24:34Oh my God, hoax, hoax, hoax.
24:37I mean, it's so true.
24:42You actually are a queen and like, thank you.
24:45They absolutely adore you.
24:47I love them. Like I really do.
24:50And it's, you know, it's been a really tough season for a lot of reasons.
24:57I think for them, for Islanders who were eliminated, I think for me, I think there's been a lot of
25:04stuff that's just been crazy.
25:06And I just want them to know, and any Islander that has also left the villa at this point, I
25:14just want them all to know how much I like genuinely really love and appreciate them for putting themselves out
25:20there and for gassing me up when I come in too.
25:24Because, yeah, I always hope that I get to bring good news, but I know sometimes I'm the glam reaper.
25:32Sometimes you kick them out.
25:33No, but they absolutely adore you.
25:35You can see that. It's so genuine.
25:36The feeling is mutual.
25:38Yeah.
25:38Yeah.
25:38Well, Ariana, thank you so much for being such a huge part of After Sunday season.
25:44I know I've only been here for like one episode, but whatever.
25:47I'm back now. I'm not leaving again.
25:49You better not.
25:49I promise.
25:51We absolutely adore you.
25:52Like, honestly, and I genuinely adore you.
25:55Like, you are just such a queen.
25:57We cannot wait to see you in the finale tomorrow night.
25:59Give it up for Ariana Maddox, everyone.
26:04Queen of Love Island.
26:06Forever.
26:08Coming up after the break, Taylor and Clarke are closed off exclusive and ready to tell me everything.
26:15I'll see you in a few.
26:22I love you.
26:35Welcome back to After Sun.
26:38It's time to say howdy to our next guest.
26:41Cowboy Taylor came to Love Island looking for a cowgirl, but in the end his heart was stolen by city
26:47slicker Clarke.
26:49They're here now, so please give a huge yee-haw for Taylor and Clarke.
26:55Yee-haw.
26:57I always wanted to say that.
26:59What's up?
27:00How are you excited?
27:05How are you feeling?
27:07Good.
27:08You look great together.
27:09I appreciate it.
27:10You guys look so cute together.
27:12You look even more like a cowboy in real life.
27:14Literally.
27:15Literally.
27:16I've always wanted to be a cowgirl.
27:18Also, I want to say a huge congratulations on being exclusive.
27:24Congratulations guys.
27:26It was also so cute how you did that.
27:28So cute.
27:29So cute.
27:30I almost cried.
27:31Were you shocked?
27:32Very.
27:32Were you like, what the hell is going on here?
27:34I'm ready to drink my wine.
27:35What are we stopping the toast for?
27:38No.
27:38No, it was funny.
27:39I loved it.
27:40No, that was really romantic.
27:42The boys killed that choreo.
27:43They did.
27:44It took us a minute to get that choreo down though.
27:47It was so good.
27:48Yeah, it took us a minute.
27:48I still got this picture of you in my head when you were like, put your tongue out because
27:51you were that excited.
27:52You were like, ah!
27:54I was like, he is so happy.
27:57Should we take a quick look at your Love Island journey?
27:59Oh shit.
28:00Aluxi?
28:01Okay, let's do it.
28:03Roll the tapes.
28:08Ladies, this is Taylor.
28:10Taylor!
28:13I've always wanted my personal cowboy.
28:16At the end of the day, we're all here to a fine world.
28:25I really, I really like it.
28:32Oh lord.
28:33What are we getting into?
28:34No cuts, no sorry.
28:36I have no complaints, so I give it a nod.
28:40Hello.
28:42So it's just us and these five beautiful girls.
28:45We cooked.
28:46Don't ever look back.
28:48Girls, if you have a better connection with Taylor, please stand up now.
28:54Wow.
29:00Good morning, Islanders.
29:02What the fuck?
29:04This is obviously going to be a little awkward.
29:06I just want you to know nothing's changed for me.
29:08I'm happy too.
29:09They're cute.
29:11They really are cute.
29:12I got two girls at one time.
29:14I don't know what the hell to do.
29:18Honestly, the ball's in your court at this point.
29:21Taylor.
29:21Taylor.
29:23Clark.
29:25Congratulations.
29:27Clark and Taylor.
29:28Taylor.
29:33What?
29:39Ever since I've been caught up with you, I've been the most happiest I've been.
29:42Oh, look.
29:43No, but have a flower in your mouth.
29:46Surprise!
29:50We're super close.
29:52I feel like I've been knowing her for years.
29:54Thank y'all for letting me have a good summer with all y'all.
29:56This is Friendships for Life.
29:58Oh, we love you.
29:59Wait!
30:01First time, ladies.
30:03What?
30:03What?
30:04What is going on?
30:07Give me a R!
30:10Since the moment I met you, you know, the sparks just flew.
30:13So I want to ask you, Clark, will you be exclusive with me?
30:16Yes, of course.
30:20The couple with the fewest votes and dumped from the island is Clark and Taylor.
30:29Hey, Tay.
30:30Thank you, cowboy, for always, you know, making me laugh.
30:34You've just really been a light throughout the villa.
30:38Tres Leches for Life.
30:44I've seen you grow throughout this experience.
30:47You're a brother to me, and I don't take that lightly.
30:52Clark, I want to say thank you for coming in here.
30:55And being yourself through and through, and making my dog one of the happiest dudes around the villa.
31:02Clark, you're just like the biggest girl's girl ever.
31:05And I love you, and I'm obsessed with you, and I can't wait to see you when I get out
31:08of here.
31:09Text me, please.
31:10I'm going to give you my number somehow.
31:20That is cute.
31:21That is so cute.
31:22That is so cute, right?
31:24Oh, my gosh.
31:24How does it feel watching that back?
31:26Because that's probably the first clip you've seen, right?
31:28This is the first time I've seen everything.
31:30Like, damn.
31:31Like, thinking back, like, all the way to day one, and just seeing it all over again, it's like, wow.
31:35Clark, what about you?
31:37Oh, my gosh.
31:37I literally don't know what to say.
31:39Seeing that, I'm like, wow.
31:41Yeah.
31:42It was cute, though.
31:43Does it feel real?
31:44No.
31:45No?
31:46This is not real life.
31:48This is AI.
31:48We are AI.
31:49This is AI.
31:50Clark, you had watched some of the season before you went into the villa.
31:54Yeah.
31:55Did you think that you and Taylor might be a good fit?
31:58Or were you a bit like, no, this isn't going to happen?
32:02A little bit of both.
32:04A little bit of both.
32:04A little bit of both.
32:04He was my number one going in, but I was still surprised that we hit off so well.
32:09You only had two days together alone in the villa before Alandria came back.
32:15How hard was that for you?
32:16It wasn't hard.
32:18I did want to show her respect and have a conversation with her, but also continuing to be authentic
32:24and moving the same way that I was before she got there.
32:28Yeah, of course.
32:30Taylor, you declared in front of everyone that you chose Clark during the challenge.
32:37How was that moment for you?
32:40Were you nervous about saying that or were you just like, you know what, F this, I'm just saying it?
32:46I was nervous too.
32:47Oh, you were?
32:48Yeah.
32:49At that moment, they wanted to answer right then and there.
32:52So I was leaning more towards Clark.
32:54So I chose Clark, but I was nervous as hell to say it though.
32:57Do you know who went home last night?
32:59No.
33:00I'm going to tell them.
33:01Whatever.
33:01It was actually Ace and Shelley.
33:03No way.
33:04What the fuck?
33:05Yes.
33:05That's crazy.
33:07I know.
33:07I'm in shock.
33:08We've got them coming up on the show later, so you can see them in a bit.
33:12Oh, yeah.
33:12I got it.
33:13I know.
33:13You have to see your brother.
33:15I got it.
33:15I got to.
33:16I want to know what's next for you, Ball.
33:18Have you talked about life outside the villa and what it's going to look like?
33:24Yeah.
33:24We definitely have.
33:26Yeah.
33:26Because it's long distance, right?
33:28Yeah, it's long distance, but she's going to be down in Oklahoma.
33:31Oh.
33:32Yeehaw.
33:33Yeehaw!
33:35Get that cowboy hat, girl.
33:37Yeah, she's going to be rodeoing, so I'm going to rodeos.
33:42I've always wanted to go to a rodeo.
33:43Taking care of horses?
33:45Shoveling horse shit?
33:46No.
33:46Not that part.
33:47Not the shoveling horse shit.
33:49Taylor, that's too far.
33:51Yes.
33:52Little by little, please.
33:53You've got yourself a cowboy now.
33:54I know.
33:55Well, you have both been absolutely incredible Islanders.
34:00Thank you so, so much for joining us on Aftersun.
34:02Give it up one more time for the incredible Taylor and Clark, everyone!
34:07Woo!
34:08Yeehaw!
34:10Yeehaw!
34:12Yeehaw!
34:12Yeehaw!
34:12Yeehaw!
34:13Still to come, Ace and Shelley spill the tea on their shock exit.
34:18And season six star Liv Walker will be talking all things beyond the villa.
34:24But after the break, our finalists give their sweetest beach hut interviews yet.
34:29Don't go anywhere.
34:45Welcome back to Aftersun, and I'm loving our new bar.
34:49Who the hell gave you a liquor license?
34:52I have no idea, but I'm not the best, but I'm getting better.
34:55I believe that.
34:56I actually heard from Sophie your cocktail making skills are top notch.
35:00They're not a hundred percent yet, but based on my response, they're getting better.
35:03Yeah.
35:03Okay, okay.
35:04What have you made this week?
35:05This week I've made us a sweet cocktail to celebrate the finale.
35:08Okay.
35:08And I call this one Mama Sweeta.
35:10Oh, I like what you did there.
35:12Okay.
35:12What's in it?
35:13Yeah.
35:13This one has traditional Blanco tequila with papaya juice.
35:17Let's try.
35:19Cheers.
35:22Christine, I've got one for you as well.
35:23Yeah, let me see what it's talking about.
35:24Oh my God, that's so good.
35:25It's good.
35:26It's proper good, isn't it?
35:27Oh my God.
35:28I think this is the best one to date.
35:30Okay, I'm taking a few bottles home.
35:31I'm not going to lie.
35:32Don't tell anyone.
35:34Now, earlier today, Callum sent some of these drinks to the beach hut along with some very
35:40sweet questions for our finalists, but they can't all fit in at once.
35:44So, instead of going live, we're going to the beach hut with Cuervo on tape.
35:48Cheers, guys.
35:49Cheers.
35:52Cheers.
35:55Congratulations on going all the way.
35:57Let's toast to the final four.
35:59How about answering some sweet questions from Cuervo?
36:03From Cuervo.
36:05Cheers.
36:07How would you describe your partner in three words?
36:11I would say funny, charismatic, and genuine.
36:14Aw.
36:15Funny, confident, and ambitious.
36:20Outgoing, funny as fuck.
36:24Emphasis on the as fuck.
36:26And he's super caring.
36:29Loving, nurturing, and motivated.
36:33Aw.
36:34Fine as hell.
36:36Okay.
36:37When did you first know you were catching feelings?
36:41Hmm.
36:42When he set up for me during the stand on your business challenge, I was like, ooh, okay,
36:47you know what?
36:48That's something right there.
36:51At the dock.
36:53Mm.
36:54I would have to say the same.
36:56When we kissed in the speakeasy.
36:58Really?
36:59Yeah, that was a very romantic moment for me.
37:01She kind of honestly backed up into me.
37:04You're putting my business out.
37:08It is true.
37:09What's your partner's best physical feature?
37:11Mm.
37:16I'm gonna have to say her eyes.
37:18Aw.
37:19Those green-ass eyes.
37:22Open your eyes.
37:25You see?
37:26Ain't they so pretty?
37:28Mm-hmm.
37:29I wanna see your cheeks.
37:30Yes.
37:30Really?
37:31What is your partner's biggest green flag?
37:35Is her never-ending loyalty.
37:38He's just so honest.
37:39How caring she is.
37:41Aw.
37:42Uh, how nurturing she is.
37:44Aw.
37:46I would say how protective he is.
37:49What's the most surprising thing about your partner?
37:54Mm.
37:56She is funny as shit.
37:59I would say her softness.
38:01Usually Dominicanas are super fiery.
38:03She is fiery, but she has a softness there, too.
38:07Honestly, how much you work out?
38:10What?
38:11You trying to say how much I work out?
38:12No.
38:13What?
38:15It's her soft side.
38:17She's like a hard-boiled egg.
38:19How would you sum up your journey together in one word?
38:24I would say overcoming.
38:28I would say unexpected.
38:32Unexpected.
38:33I was literally gonna say that.
38:35I would say magical.
38:38I would say magical.
38:39I gotta agree with her.
38:40Okay, one, two, three.
38:42Magical.
38:44Cheers, baby.
38:46To the final four, season seven, Love Island.
38:50Cheers.
38:51Cheers.
38:51Cheers.
38:54That's good.
38:55Oh, yeah.
38:57Still to come on Aftersun.
39:00Season six star Liv Walker talks all things life after the villa.
39:06And Ace and Shelley give their first interview since their shock dumping.
39:10See you in a few.
39:13Woo!
39:19Woo!
39:26Welcome back to Aftersun.
39:28Woo!
39:28Now, it's not just the Love Island USA finale tomorrow.
39:32It's also the world premiere of Love Island Beyond the Villa.
39:37And I'm joined by one of its stars now.
39:40During season six, she was unfiltered and unforgettable, and now she's ready to make even more TV gold.
39:47Joining us live from Vegas, it's Liv Walker, everyone!
39:53Liv, how are you?
39:55Beautiful girl.
39:56You guys literally look stunning.
39:59We've missed you so much.
40:00I've missed you guys.
40:02Like, I want to be on that couch right now.
40:04It doesn't even feel like that long ago that you were sat on this couch with us.
40:08I can't believe it's, like, been a year.
40:10Like, I'm watching this series and I'm like, wait, I used to sit on that chair.
40:14Wait.
40:15I'm like, I feel like I'm back at home.
40:16It's like a weird feeling.
40:18What are you thinking of this season?
40:20Oh, my God.
40:21Okay, so many thoughts are going through my head.
40:24They're absolutely killing it.
40:26And I was bawling my eyes out at the family visit.
40:29Us too.
40:31Us too.
40:31That was so emotional.
40:33Have you got a favorite moment from this season?
40:35I feel like that would have to be my favorite moment.
40:37Because everyone was, like, so, like, uplifted.
40:41Everyone was, like, so happy for each other.
40:43I love seeing, like, everyone's families come in.
40:46Like, I didn't think I would be crying outside of the villa with something to do with Love
40:51Island.
40:52But here we are.
40:54That is so real.
40:55How has life been, like, after Love Island?
40:58Oh, my God.
40:59I feel like it's not been real.
41:01Like, 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.
41:12I can't complain.
41:13How is the love life?
41:14I have to ask this.
41:15Because, I mean, I'm just being nosy now.
41:18Are you single?
41:19Are you coupled up?
41:20Tell me everything.
41:21No, I've got a boyfriend.
41:22I'm not single.
41:23Oh, you have a boyfriend?
41:25What?
41:25She's so surprised.
41:27I know.
41:28Shock, right?
41:28Oh, I'm so happy for you.
41:31We need a hard launch.
41:34We have to talk about Beyond the Villa, starring the season six cast.
41:38What was it like being reunited with everyone?
41:41It was, honestly, such an amazing feeling.
41:44I feel like none of us have all been in one space at the same time for a while.
41:48But all being in one place, there's gonna be drama.
41:51Wait, is there a lot of drama?
41:53I mean, we're...
41:54Come on now.
41:55Look at our group.
41:56There's gonna be drama in it.
41:57But I feel like the best thing about us is that we...
42:02We can dish it out, but we're such a, like, big, loving family
42:06that we all kind of, like, resolve it, lean on each other
42:09and, like, figure it out somehow.
42:11And if you don't, keep it moving.
42:13What can viewers expect to see on the show?
42:16Have you any gossip for us?
42:17Like, any exclusives or anything?
42:19Just give me anything.
42:20Ooh.
42:21I don't know about gossip, but I feel like an exciting thing that people will be, like, looking
42:28is to see how the relationships and how the couples get along.
42:32I think that's so beautiful.
42:33But you'll also see friendships that you might not have seen in the villa, like, grow.
42:39It's gonna be a good summer.
42:40Like, everyone should be tuned in.
42:41I am so, so excited.
42:44Are you...
42:44Yeah, I'm so excited.
42:46So excited.
42:47It's gonna be so good.
42:48Liv, thank you so, so much for joining us.
42:51We love you here on Aftersun.
42:53And I cannot wait to see you back on my screen tomorrow
42:56in Love Island, beyond the villa.
42:58I'm so excited!
43:00Give it up for our favourite, Liv Walker, everyone!
43:05Love her.
43:06Next up, it's time to introduce our unseen moment of the season like you've never seen
43:12it before.
43:13Take it away, Ian.
43:16Oh, hey, Maura Higgins.
43:18It's so glad to have you back, you traitor.
43:22Anyway, it's Ian Sterling here.
43:24You probably won't remember me, but I'm the voice of Love Island and the voice of, you
43:29know, very little else, actually.
43:31I'm very busy, you know, professionally doing this.
43:34Anyway, I am doing my best unseen moment of the season.
43:37And I said to the producers, if it's all season, I'm gonna need a top 50 minimum.
43:41They said you can have one moment.
43:43I said, fine, top 10, final offer.
43:46And we negotiated and I used my star power.
43:49So here I am with my top one unseen moment of the season.
43:53And this one is an absolute banger.
43:55If it had to be one, it had to be this one.
43:57And it is, of course, Amaya in the makeup room,
44:00singing her smash hit, This Is Who The F I Am.
44:05And this isn't any clip.
44:06This is the full length unseen version.
44:10So enjoy.
44:12I love you all.
44:14Bye.
44:17I'm gonna look so cute.
44:20I'm gonna look so good.
44:22I'm gonna look so cute.
44:24And I'm gonna look so good.
44:26I'm gonna look so cute.
44:29Look at me.
44:30Look at me.
44:32Category.
44:33Clothes.
44:34Bitch.
44:36Look at me.
44:38Look at me.
44:40Hmm.
44:41He's gonna be like, damn, mamacita.
44:43You looking so good.
44:45Yep.
44:47I always look good.
44:49I'm gonna always look so good, baby.
44:51I'm crazy.
44:52You already fucking nailed it.
44:57Oh, I be cracking myself up.
45:01People 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.
45:12But at least I'm good looking.
45:14And 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.
45:29And at least I'm a little funny.
45:32And at least I'm my own best friend.
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
45:48has undoubtedly become a multi-million dollar record deal.
45:52Makes me wonder why I've never mumbled to myself in a makeup room
45:55whilst wearing a bikini.
45:56Well, I did once, but we can't get into it for legal reasons.
45:59Anyway, that's all for me for tonight and for this entire season.
46:03Thank you all for having me.
46:04And back to you, Mora, in the studio.
46:11So cute.
46:13So funny.
46:14Thank you, Ian.
46:15I've missed you too.
46:16And I am not a traitor.
46:17Or maybe I am.
46:18I don't know.
46:19I'm so obsessed with that song.
46:21So cute.
46:22It's so good.
46:22Do you think she'd come and perform for us next season?
46:25I hope so.
46:25That would be so good.
46:26Yeah.
46:27We need her.
46:27Yeah, we need her.
46:28Right.
46:29It's time for a quick break now.
46:31But don't go anywhere because OG's Islanders Ace and Shelley are up next.
46:36See you in a few.
46:50Woo!
46:52Welcome back to Actathon.
46:55Joining us now, a couple whose Love Island story started on day one.
46:59Well, actually, by their own admission, it was before day one at a nightclub in New York.
47:05Let's hear it for Ace and Shelley!
47:08Woo!
47:09Woo!
47:11Woo!
47:11Woo!
47:12Hey, guys!
47:14Aw, you're amazing.
47:16Thank you so much.
47:17Thank you so much.
47:18Y'all look amazing.
47:20Aw, thank you.
47:21How are you?
47:23We're doing great.
47:24Good?
47:24Yeah, I'm excited.
47:25What's it like being out?
47:27It's a little bittersweet.
47:28You know, we're leaving people behind.
47:29But, you know, I get to spend, you know, a lot of time with this one right here.
47:33So, I'm excited.
47:34You went to the hideaway, became exclusive.
47:37There we go.
47:37Met each other's families.
47:38Yes.
47:39And then you were dumped.
47:40All in two days.
47:41What the hell?
47:42Are you okay?
47:42It was like a rollercoaster.
47:43I mean, we're still processing and adjusting.
47:46It was like such a high and then, whoa.
47:48Well, we have a lot to talk about.
47:50Of course.
47:51But first, should we take a look at your Love Island love story?
47:54Oh, I mean, yeah.
47:55Yeah, we got it.
47:57Let's see.
47:57I'm so excited.
47:58I'm excited, yeah.
47:58Let's take a look.
47:59Okay.
48:01When I'm with you.
48:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
48:04This can't be for life.
48:06I know you.
48:07I know you.
48:14Who do you want to couple up with?
48:16Ace.
48:17Your man has been stolen.
48:21We meet again.
48:23I'm so glad.
48:24It's a sign.
48:28I miss you.
48:30Last time I checked, I'm comfortable with Austin.
48:32Oh, yeah.
48:33My bad.
48:35He's been waiting for that and I know it.
48:39I know I want to have more conversations with you.
48:43Are you serious?
48:45Are you serious?
48:45Yo, you just pissed me off.
48:47Seeing you with Ace just makes me feel weird.
48:51What are you doing?
48:52What am I doing?
48:52Do you see that?
48:53I love you.
48:54I love you.
48:56I love you.
48:57I love you.
48:59I love you.
48:59I love you.
49:00I love you.
49:00I love you.
49:01I love you.
49:02I love you.
49:02It's been a long time coming.
49:05Oh my God.
49:07Shelly and Ace, you are finally a couple.
49:10It's about time.
49:12Wait, wait, wait, wait.
49:13I'm actually so excited and happy.
49:17Nothing compares to being with you.
49:19Casa Amor, Casa Amor.
49:23Ugh, like I knew this would happen.
49:26Let's go!
49:30Fuck.
49:32Going to Casa Amor only made me feel stronger about him.
49:37I missed her every single day.
49:40Ace.
49:41Chai Lee.
49:46Your mama's going to kill me, please, please.
49:48I think we're going to need parenting courses.
49:51Since the day I met you in NYC, I always thought,
49:54how did my Cinderella leave without a trace?
49:57Walking into this experience, I was looking for a lover,
50:00but that's not what happened in this case.
50:02This brought me back to lack of a childhood memory.
50:05I ended up finding a best friend, a partner in crime,
50:09and a person who brings out the best in Ace.
50:11I really like you.
50:13Same.
50:13So I'm sitting here in this highway, asking you,
50:17will you be exclusive to only each other,
50:19Shelly, Evelyn, and Bassane?
50:21Of course.
50:22Finally, all our dreams are coming true.
50:26Shelly and Ace, your Love Island journey ends tonight.
50:32I love you so deep, Shelly.
50:34You got some tears out of me, bitch.
50:36I'm telling you, you truly pulled at the heartstrings.
50:38I love you so much.
50:40Thank you for being my sister.
50:42Keep on motherfucking shining, okay?
50:44Because you are a superstar.
50:46I love you.
50:47My papaya.
50:49Ace, you are my best friend in this villa.
50:53You brought all the best parts of me out,
50:55and I'm just feeling so blessed to be able to call you my brother.
50:58I'm so glad you met Shelly,
51:01and I can't wait to see what's next for you.
51:03See you soon.
51:04I'll shake off this family.
51:07Oh, baby.
51:09Look, is that not perfect?
51:11That is perfect.
51:12It's so perfect.
51:13Like, wow.
51:13What was it like watching that back?
51:15Oh, my gosh.
51:16Emotionally.
51:17Yeah.
51:17Give me butterflies all over again.
51:19People tell me all the time, they're like,
51:20you get so giddy around him.
51:21You're so happy.
51:22And I'm like, girl, whatever.
51:24And I'm like, oh, my gosh.
51:25All my teeth are shut.
51:26Mm-hmm.
51:27Okay.
51:28Let's go back to the very start.
51:29Yeah.
51:30You instantly recognized each other before the villa.
51:34Yeah.
51:34How much of a shock was that?
51:36I remember, like, my stomach fell to my ass.
51:38I was just like, what are the fucking odds?
51:39How did we both end up here?
51:41You know?
51:42We met in NYC, slide in DM a little bit,
51:45but, like, he's all the way in LA.
51:46I'm in New York City.
51:47Also, at the time, like, I'm doing my own thing in New York,
51:50dating and stuff.
51:50So it was just like, okay, like, we're Instagram friends.
51:53Like, we just think each other look good, but that's it.
51:56So that's why it was just so crazy for it to come full circle
51:59and meet in fucking Love Island.
52:01There's been some wild conspiracy theories
52:03that you guys planned to talk together.
52:06Yes, yes.
52:07I can see just by your reactions.
52:09Like...
52:09Can you just put the record straight for us?
52:12She's in Florida.
52:13I'm in LA.
52:14You know, we have two separate lives.
52:16And when I came here, the first thing I said was,
52:18I noticed you.
52:19I know who you are.
52:20Wow, how crazy is that?
52:21That's insane.
52:22That's how you know it was meant to be.
52:23Yeah, meant to be.
52:24It feels like that because it's like, the odds are insane.
52:28I love that.
52:28Yes, I have to ask you.
52:30Yeah.
52:30Some Islanders...
52:32Yeah.
52:32Thought you were like a ringleader in the villa.
52:34Yeah.
52:35I was very vocal about my opinion.
52:37And I understand I'm a leader at the end of the day.
52:40You know, some people are going to be hurt by my decisions,
52:43but I love everybody and everybody had their own experience here.
52:46So, yeah.
52:47Yeah.
52:47The Islanders chose you guys to spend a night in the hideaway.
52:51Mm-hmm.
52:51I have to ask, can you sing the song for us?
52:53Let me go a little something like,
52:55eat that kitty, eat that kitty, eat that kitty in the hideaway.
53:00Eat that kitty, eat that kitty, eat that kitty in the hideaway.
53:05We are so obsessed with the song, by the way.
53:07Yeah, we love that song.
53:09I think it gets the people going.
53:11It really does.
53:12It does.
53:13What's next for you guys now?
53:15How are you going to make the long distance thing work?
53:18Honestly, I feel like we could be a million miles apart.
53:21We're still going to make it work at the end of the day.
53:24Oh, stop it, guys.
53:24I know.
53:25I'm going to cry.
53:26Stop it.
53:26If he wanted to, he would.
53:28He really does.
53:29It's not a million miles.
53:31I feel like if you're intentional and you know what you want,
53:34you're going to make it happen regardless.
53:35A million percent.
53:35And that's where we're at.
53:36And she's going to be moving to L.A. soon.
53:38Exactly, so.
53:39Yes.
53:40Yes.
53:41So, guys, who are you most looking forward to seeing after the villa?
53:45I'm so excited to meet Taylor again on the outside world.
53:48I bet you are.
53:48Would you like to see them right now?
53:50You're lying.
53:51No, I'm not.
53:51Say swear to God.
53:51I don't lie it.
53:53Say swear to God right now.
53:54Taylor and Claire!
54:00Oh my God.
54:02Oh, that is cute.
54:04That is so cute.
54:05Cute, cute, cute.
54:06Damn, yo.
54:07Aww.
54:08This is crazy.
54:09This is wild.
54:11I bet it feels like you haven't seen each other in ages,
54:13but it's only been like zero times.
54:16Who are you guys backing tomorrow in the finale?
54:19We start with you, Taylor.
54:21Either Nick or Alangia or Amaya and Bryan.
54:24Okay.
54:25Clark.
54:25I'm going to go Amaya and Bryan.
54:28Ace.
54:29My heart want to say Nick and Alangia, but I'm going to definitely say Amaya.
54:32Why do you say that?
54:33Because she's super hilarious.
54:35Like, me and her, we already squashed beef and chopped it up.
54:38Like, I love her.
54:39So I definitely think her and Bryan got something special.
54:42Amaya, she went through a roller coaster with the guys that she met.
54:46And, you know, Bryan 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.
54:54And so the fact that they ended up having, like, a relationship and their families loved each other too.
55:00It was just like, damn, like, I can't deny what I'm seeing.
55:02So it really is tough though.
55:04It really is tough.
55:05But between those two for sure.
55:06You've all been such incredible Islanders, honestly.
55:10It's Ace and Shelley.
55:13And Taylor and Claire.
55:18Smash that.
55:19I'm afraid that's all we have time for tonight.
55:21And that's all from after some this season.
55:24I'm so sad.
55:26A big thank you to all our guests and to all our incredible Islanders.
55:31The finale of Love Island USA drops tomorrow night on Peacock.
55:36Do not miss the moment Ariana Maddox crowns your new winners.
55:40Thank you and good night.
55:51Bye.
56:00Bye.
56:06Bye.
56:09Bye.
56:21Bye.
56:23Bye.
