00:20I wish I've been caught with you. I've been the most happiest I've been
00:23Thank you despite some tears. I don't care for calling me
00:28I think the fucking wicked girl
00:30Thank you
00:32Bonds leveled up. I feel like you're growing your connection. I'm growing mine
00:37Ain't no hard feelings between you and me, you know, and I wish I the best. New spots
00:42Pepe would be an option
00:48Not even a gump soap challenge
00:52Amaya could stop the luck
01:05I do too
01:15Tonight's
01:20It's time
01:23For a recoupling
01:25So the boy, the boy, the boy, the boy I would like to couple up with is
01:30Is
01:31And not everyone gets to stay
01:40Lately I've been thinking all about us
01:43Was it really love?
01:45Was it really love?
01:47Was it really love?
01:47Welcome to Love Island USA
01:49Huda is having a post challenge debrief with Chris
01:52And to give you an idea of Chris's scale
01:54Well, that thing he's using as a snack bowl
01:56I used yesterday
01:58As a bathtub
01:59The crawls
02:01The crawls
02:04Why do you crawl ascending me?
02:07Why?
02:07Because I'm big as hell?
02:10Yes
02:12How was the challenge?
02:13Did you have fun?
02:14I did
02:15That was a lot of fun
02:16I just really wanted to run into a door
02:18That was crazy
02:19That shit still hurt
02:21I can tell
02:21It was fun
02:22I was surprised no other guys pulled me for a kiss, honestly
02:25Why?
02:26Because we're still open
02:28So I was surprised
02:30Yeah
02:30I was like, oh
02:31But I feel like we are getting to like that deeper point in our connection
02:35Like you expressing to me like about your background and like your daughter
02:40And I truly appreciate that because I know you don't really tell people a lot about your business like that
02:46I think it's just nice that like I don't feel weird telling you things
02:52If that makes sense
02:53Yeah, I'm not gonna judge you
02:54And I don't feel like you are
02:55So it's nice that I feel free to just talk about it
03:01The most important thing to me in a relationship is having a best friend
03:06I agree
03:07Like just being able to kihi ha ha and like be dumb together
03:10If I can't like laugh at my partner 24-7, I don't really see it going anywhere
03:15So I'm kind of the same boat as you
03:18I think I get you laughing sometimes
03:20Tell me your best joke
03:21Why don't I fucking know?
03:22You don't have no jokes?
03:24Well, fuck
03:25No
03:26Get your funny up, gang
03:27Okay, brother
03:28How many tickles does it take to tickle an octopus?

03:48No
03:50Wasabi
03:50Oh, that's not funny either

03:56Tough crowd
03:56I feel like this is giving me hope that like real men exist
04:00This time around I really do want to get to know him
04:02Like I don't want to jump into physical and jump into lovey-dovey right away
04:07I'm just enjoying the ride and I'm trying to make sure that I do this right
04:11Ugh, that don'ts don't work on me

10:44Go back, see the fam
10:45I miss the fam
10:47Ride damn horses, bruh
10:49I had a dream
10:51Like two days ago
10:53That I was riding horses at a rodeo
10:56Stop
10:56To the ass
10:57And I woke up
10:58And I was like fuck
11:06You think you're gonna make it in the country world?
11:11I guess I'll have to find out
11:14Are you ready for this hard knock life?
11:17I'm gonna transform you
11:19It's probably gonna take a minute
11:20I'll never stop being a girly girl
11:24I'll tell you that's what a country girl
11:25Yeah
11:26I am a country girl
11:27Just not
11:29Country girl
11:33You're a country girl, not a gal girl
11:35Yeah
11:36And you set up
11:40It's only let you down
11:43I won't let you down
11:46Yeah
11:48I'm ready for a hard knock life
11:52I sometimes want somebody to read my mind
11:55Which I know is very unrealistic
11:56But like that's kinda what this gave
11:58I woke up to a date
12:00And I had picnic breakfast
12:01Like
12:03Mmm
12:04Thank you
12:10Do you look like your mom?
12:11Or do you look more like your dad?
12:12No, she looks like
12:13I look more like her
12:14Sometimes when I look at boys
12:16I can see them like looking like their mom
12:18Yeah
12:18Like boys look like their moms
12:20Yeah
12:21So you look more like your dad then?
12:22Yeah
12:23He's a very gentle man
12:24Yeah
12:25You know
12:25A lot of my friends' dads were like
12:27Don't bring him around here
12:28Right, right
12:29Like
12:30You're not dating my daughter
12:31Wow, your dad's the complete opposite
12:32Yeah, my dad's like
12:33It's okay
12:33As long as you're happy
12:35It's fine
12:35I love it
12:36With Iris it feels comfortable
12:38I think it's that whole, you know
12:40You're friends to start
12:41And then maybe it can become something else
12:44You know
12:44And I think we're both on the same page
12:47I'd like to continue to hang out with her
12:49Continue to talk to her
12:50Continue to grow a connection with her
12:53And you know
12:54If it grows into something amazing
12:57Then you know, shit
12:59That's all we can hope for
13:00When I was younger
13:01The only thing that me and my dad
13:02Really bonded off of was movies
13:04That was like me and my dad too
13:05Really?
13:06Yeah, your dad's a movie guy?
13:08Yeah
13:08My dad's a music movie guy
13:10When I was younger
13:11I hated my dad's music
13:12And now it's all I listen to
13:13Yeah, but now I like it
13:14Me too
13:14I just love music
13:16Like I play a bunch of instruments
13:17Yeah, you do?
13:19Yeah
13:19Yeah, I play the guitar, the drums, the piano
13:22You're so like interesting
13:23And I didn't like think that you were
13:27Think that I was interesting?
13:27No, like I
13:28No, I knew you were
13:30But I just like
13:30What?
13:33One thing I've noticed about New Yorkers
13:35Is they have an incredible ability
13:36To lead any conversation back to New York
13:39No matter how tenuous it seems
13:41I literally love this view
13:43Like this is such a great view
13:45Yeah
13:45Even back home in New York
13:47I would go to the Brooklyn Bridge
13:49Or Manhattan Bridge
13:50And just look over the water
13:52I think it's something about the water
13:53For me it is
13:55For me it's like
13:55Oh look at this spider
13:57It's okay
13:57He's like just walking away
13:59You see exposure therapy is real
14:01I'm not that scared of bugs anymore
14:03Haha
14:03You came in here scared of it?
14:04But you're from New York
14:05Uh yeah, but we don't have spiders, mate
14:08Y'all got rats the size of like this
14:10I'd rather see a rat than see a flying dragon fly
14:15But you used to go to DR all the time, no?
14:17Yes
14:18So how you...
14:18And the Campo, my grandma, my grandpa
14:20Everybody knows
14:21Your family's from the Campo too?
14:22Yes!
14:22My family is too
14:23No way!
14:24Like I'm the first generation to be born in America
14:26And I'm also the first nurse of the family
14:29Yeah
14:29That's something I really hold close to my shots
14:32Cause nursing school was not easy for me
14:33That shit's tough
14:34From what I heard
14:35It was tough
14:36One of the like things I like about you
14:38It's like you're smart, you're ambitious
14:40Aw, thank you
14:41Like I love that
14:41Same here goes for you
14:43Like I feel like I appreciate the fact that
14:45I could just feel safe around you
14:48We've got everything we need
14:50Even if it's just the two of us
14:55It's good, it's a good feeling though
14:56Yeah, it's a good feeling
14:56Like I feel good, for real
14:58Okay, good
14:58If you feel good, I feel better
15:00But yeah
15:12I always stress that as I get older
15:15It's important to be with someone that keeps you young
15:17I definitely think Amaya is that type of person
15:20It's just Amaya's aura
15:21And just her smile and her eyes just light up a room
15:25So that's definitely extremely important to me
15:27And I think she fits the bill so far
15:33And that's your kiss for this
15:35You can kiss me anytime
15:48Welcome back to Love Island USA
15:51Sierra has left the villa due to a personal situation
15:55Leaving Nick officially single
16:04Are you good?
16:05I don't really know
16:10Right before Sierra had left
16:12My mind was clear
16:14I knew what the future would look like
16:16And now I'm lost
16:19I think now that my strongest connection is gone
16:21There's like, you know
16:22I'll, you know, just figure it out from here
16:27Hard thing to figure out
16:29Like at the end of the day
16:31These are actual feelings and actual emotions
16:33Yeah, and I was not expecting this
16:35Yeah, curveball can change everything man
16:37True that
16:41Are you gonna try to explore it?
16:44Are you gonna try to explore it?
16:50I don't know
16:58Woah, with Amaya being so busy
16:59I've had to take over as her assistant

17:09Right, I'm just off to pick up your dry cleaning
17:11Yeah, I was about to pull you for a chat anyways
17:13Because last time we spoke
17:14We kind of like squashed the beef
17:16Yeah
17:17I kind of like felt something
17:18Between us
17:19And I just felt like
17:20Damn, like shit
17:21I really do still care about this girl a lot, you know?
17:23Yeah, of course
17:23So obviously like
17:24Trying to be more open with how I feel

17:31And I feel like I understand you the most
17:33And I know that for sure

18:15Wanting to speak to you more and more, you know?
18:17And I'm still open to our connection as well
18:19Yeah, I think we should just have a clean slate
18:21That's basically where we are now
18:23We're on page one
18:25Like the old book was thrown away into the sea
18:27Yeah, yeah
18:28And this is a new book now
18:29But we'll just see
18:30You know, I'm open to what we have
18:32Yeah, yeah, me too
18:32I'm not closed off
18:33And I don't hold any grudge
18:34So yeah, let it be
18:35You know, we're starting fresh
18:38We're starting something new again
18:41But you have to put in the work
18:44You have to be the man
18:45Like, listen, I'm not going to have a sugar rush anymore
18:49From the work handy that you're feeding me
18:51Because actions and words are two different things
18:53That being said, listen

19:10Ace has spent the last 20 minutes waiting for Shelly
19:13To come down from the terrace
19:14And trying to take his sandal off
19:19What?
19:20I woke up in a great-ass mood
19:21You look like it
19:22Yeah, I'm all cheesy and smiley and shit
19:29What was it like growing up for you?
19:31It was like a rollercoaster, if I'm being honest
19:34You know, things were never perfect, like ever
19:36But it was like always make the best of the situation that you have
19:41You're being told like, oh, we have to move out
19:44Like, we don't know what we're going to do
19:47But we have to move out the house
19:48And we ended up like moving to a shelter for like a while, it felt like
19:53And it was just so much crazy stuff
19:55Where I was just like, how did life switch so fast?
19:57But my siblings, since it's so many of us
19:59Like we just like was able to lean on each other, you know?
20:02Yeah
20:03So we got past that
20:04And now I'm happy, like my family's in a way better position
20:07It was good overall
20:09How was it growing up for you?
20:11Um, for me, I remember through high school
20:17I'm going to school in a nice neighborhood
20:18And I'm going back home in Watts or Long Beach or shit like that
20:23And I'm sleeping on a damn beach chair
20:25You know what I mean?
20:26So like shit like that is, it makes you appreciate life a little bit more
20:29So that's why I've like, I feel like I've grown up really, really fast
20:33I've been through a lot of shit very, very early
20:38And I don't know, it's been tough for me to find that sense of happiness
20:43Or a place where I feel like I belong
20:45No, absolutely
20:47I definitely feel like Ace is always peeling layers of himself with me
20:51That makes me feel happy because that shows a big part of trust
20:54It's just very telling of like how powerful our relationship actually is
20:58I definitely feel like everything we go through is for a reason
21:02Mm-hmm
21:03It's just part of your story and that's it
21:05Yeah
21:08You alright?
21:10I don't even know at this point
21:12Y'all were the only ones that was closed off
21:14And the ones I consider to have the best and strong connection
21:17Yeah
21:17Obviously it's a weird thing for all of us to navigate, especially you
21:22Sierra left and make a single
21:26I don't know what's going to happen
21:28You know what I see happening?
21:29What do you see?
21:31I see
21:33And it's just a thought
21:34Mm-hmm
21:36I know they kind of had like a thing
21:38Mm-hmm
21:39Or maybe they could rekindle
21:43That's not like impossible
21:46Don't count it out
21:47We shall see though, I guess
21:49Ever since Sierra's been here, it's been like more so y'all's journey conjoined
21:53Yeah
21:53It's never really just been about Nick's journey
21:55You always consider the person you was in a couple with, which I love, you know what I mean?
21:59So this is obviously a weird predicament to be in
22:01So it's like however I can be there for you in this time of need, you know I will do
22:05that
22:05Yeah
22:06Whatever that looks like for you
22:07I appreciate that
22:08Look at that, yo
22:10I told you
22:12Just smile and wave
22:16I just really feel like you have like my back
22:20Mm-hmm
22:20And when I think about like a girl in here
22:23Mm-hmm
22:23Who I have been enjoying my time with and who I'm comfortable with
22:27And like who I'm attracted to, yeah
22:30Someone I feel who would have my back
22:32Like that person would be you for me
22:35Aw
22:35I feel like that thing I really appreciate about you is like bringing out
22:38I feel like a manlier side of me
22:40Mm-hmm
22:40And I think when I'm goofy I feel like I bring out like a little bit of that funnier side
22:44to you
22:45Yeah
22:45Yeah
22:45I think just now it's like, I don't know, keep on chugging
22:48Keep on chugging, man
22:49Yeah
22:51Alandria, I know that she'll have my back no matter what
22:53I've always appreciated her fierce loyalty
22:56I think she's someone I just enjoy, you know, spending my time with and that's what I'm looking for
23:01Do you feel like you're open to connections at this point?
23:05Yeah, definitely
23:05Y'all saved me for a reason, so like why would I let that go to waste? You get what
23:09I'm saying?
23:09Like me and Zach, we chat like, obviously I'm still open to knowing him as well
23:14Yeah
23:15What about Taylor and Clark? How are you feeling about that?
23:18I never was mad at the fact that Taylor found a new connection
23:20I was just mad at the fact of how Taylor went about it when it came to me
23:23Mm-hmm
23:23I love how they are with each other
23:24Yeah
23:25Been making great progress since I've seen them, so I can't do nothing but support it
23:29How did, yeah, how did you feel about Clark and Taylor being like 10th place?
23:33I feel great
23:33With all the time
23:36I don't know why you think I was going to be faking smoke, you know I'm a real bitch
23:39I feel great
23:44You thought I was going to give a PR answer?
23:47And, hell no
23:51Nick, you know me, you know me
24:07Welcome back to Love Island USA
24:09Alan said my jokes weren't funny and it really hurt my feelings

25:40Like, that's one of my worst fears
25:42Just aging and the excitement of life slowly going away
25:47I totally feel that

25:50She wears her heart on her sleeve
25:52She's always giving me energy back
25:54And I really like that
25:55I like to live a super adventurous life
25:57I'm like an adventurous girl myself
25:59Okay
25:59For me, that's like one of the big non-negotiables
26:02I might skydive after this
26:03Like, yo, if I could survive love land
26:05I could survive a fucking
26:06Oh, for sure
26:06Die sky then
26:08Yeah

29:05Right now?
29:06As in right now
29:07I love the fact that Brian
29:08Was like one of the only guys
29:09Who stood up for me there
29:10Elon
29:11He's a sweet gentleman guy
29:13And then the thing is with Zach
29:14Like of course
29:15I was physically attracted to him
29:17Especially at first
29:18Yeah
29:19Cause I know your type is
29:20Like tattoos

29:34Them three right there
29:35Ryan's at
29:36And Elon
29:37Fighting for my papaya
29:50I am a little worried though
29:52About what?
29:53I feel like all three of my boys are on the line
29:57All of my energy
29:58I wanna focus it on you
30:00I really like the person that you are
30:01And how you hold yourself
30:02Thank you
30:03I just wanted to let you know where I stand
30:06I'm definitely worried about the two other guys going for my eyes
30:09But at least I know I've laid it all out
30:11At the end of the day
30:12Whatever happens tonight happens
30:13And I know I've given it my all
30:15You must know that there's more
30:18I'll hear for you
30:20Looking at you
30:21Mm-hmm
30:23It changed a lot of things for me
30:24I could be myself around you
30:26You made me feel safe
30:27Mm-hmm
30:28I want you to make the right decision
30:29That's gonna make you happy
30:30Yeah
30:30And whatever decision you make, Amaya
30:31I'm gonna support you all the way
30:33Oh, Zach
30:34I've done my best
30:35To express how I feel
30:37To Amaya and Alandria
30:38It would suck
30:39If I didn't get picked
30:40By neither of those girls
30:41I'm just hoping
30:42I've done enough
30:47You're getting pulled a hundred different ways
30:49I feel like
30:50You're a popular girl here right now
30:51I can't believe that is happening tonight
30:53That's really really crazy to me
30:56Like I said
30:56I'm gonna be me
30:58All the time
30:59I want you to be you
31:00So I was like
31:01No, 100%

31:12Ah

31:22Now there's
31:24Take
31:25Take
31:26Take
31:26In the car
31:39Welcome back to Love Island USA
31:42The mood is very tense before the recoupling
31:45So I thought I'd lighten the mood
31:47So I thought I'd lighten the mood with a little joke
31:48My dog's terrible at dancing
31:50He's got two left feet
31:53What do you think of that Shelly?
31:56Come on baby
31:58Come on baby
31:59Going all black
32:00Could be my funeral tonight
32:01Come on baby
32:05Can you take what I'm throwing down
32:10Guys I'm really stressing the fuck out about tonight
32:12Right now I feel nothing but fucking moths in my stomach
32:17I'm nervous
32:17You know what
32:18I've gone in there
32:19I've done what I needed to do
32:20Express how I feel
32:21You truly never know what the fuck could happen
32:24Fuck
32:24This shall be interesting
32:27I don't need to know much
32:29Just get one question for more
32:34Yes I am a big empath and I'm like fuck like
32:37You know I do feel for the guys
32:39But you know what
32:40Maybe they should be feeling a little stress right now
32:56I just want to say thank you to every single one of you guys for being amazing people
33:01This is to tonight and just great vibes
33:12Got it
33:13Yeah
33:14Where you going?
33:15Someplace special
33:16Oh shit alright
33:18Someplace really special
33:19Really special?
33:20Yeah
33:21I love that
33:21Oh god
33:23I feel like Amaya always seems to like
33:26Find her heel in like the holes in the floor
33:29Wait so y'all said y'all was talking about what with LA?
33:31Oh hold up
33:35Do the honors
33:37Such a gentleman
33:39Nick
33:42I guess I just wanted to have like one last conversation before tonight
33:47I think it's like an important night
33:48No for sure
33:49Yeah
33:50Are you nervous?
33:51I'm nervous as shit
33:52Trying to choose between somebody knowing you're going to let somebody down
33:54Like that is just like
33:56Man
33:56I think you're like the sweetest person
34:00And I would like to keep you know continuing like having each other's back
34:04And you bring out like a lot of good things in me that I don't see too much of myself
34:08Aw Nick
34:09So uh I just appreciate you a lot
34:11Literally like getting dumped from Costa Papa has been like such a blow to my experience
34:15And just seeing your face when I opened those doors it's just like damn
34:18Although I just felt so crazy it's just seeing your face brought me so much calmness
34:22Cause I was just like oh this is my guy
34:23Yeah
34:23The thing I really enjoy about Alandria is we kind of are always on the same page
34:27I just lost like a pretty serious connection with someone
34:31So now it's taking the time as if it were like day one I guess
34:35Obviously we have such a crazy bond
34:38And it's just so crazy to me how our journey has been so much alike
34:41It really has
34:42And how we keep finding ourselves back into these moments
34:45And even exploring you at that time
34:47I feel like our heads was very clouded
34:49Obviously your head was more on Sierra
34:51Mama's more so on Taylor
34:52And now that we're in a position to where like none of those connections technically exist
34:56Yeah
34:56At this point and moment
34:57I truly feel like I wouldn't mind exploring that still
35:02Although we didn't find that initial spark
35:04I feel like it's because our minds were somewhere else
35:06It was not here
35:07You get what I'm saying?
35:08Yeah no I think Alandria has a nice ring to it
35:12Nalandria is insane
35:13We can work on that
35:15We can work on that
35:15Yeah
35:16I'm a little nervous going into this recoupling
35:18Because having options actually makes this whole thing harder
35:22I wish it was just one way street
35:24But all good things must come to an end
35:27You know whatever you decide tonight
35:29Like I'm truly like happy to even get to know you and be in your presence
35:33Yeah
35:33Aww Nick give me a hug
35:35I love our chats
35:37I play there always
35:37So good
35:41No
35:42Taking it back
35:43It's all over now
35:45It's all over now
35:47It's all over now
35:47That dramatic music means Ariana is here
35:51Bad news for the Islanders but great news for me
35:54I've been dying for a pee since the show started
35:57So you take it from here Miss Maddox
36:00Hey
36:02Would you two like to join me at the fire pit please?
36:05I would love that
36:06I would love that
36:07Yo I used to know all the moon faces and I don't remember them anymore
36:10Ariana's here
36:12Oh
36:12Oh shit
36:13Hi Islanders
36:17Hi
36:18What's up?
36:19Can you all join me at the fire pit please?
36:21Yes
36:22I hope you're ready for action
36:26When you said very soon I didn't think it was this soon
36:29It's always sooner than you think
36:33Wow she looks gorgeous
36:37You look wonderful
36:38Thank you
36:39She still scares me every time
36:41Yeah
36:42She's real
36:43Sin was like
36:44She was on my spine
36:59Thank you
37:02Tonight
37:04Girls will be choosing the boy they want to couple up with
37:10Any boy that's not in a couple
37:16We'll be leaving the island tonight
37:18Oh
37:20I hope you're ready for it
37:22For it
37:23For it
37:23For it
37:36Action
37:37Welcome back to Love Island USA
37:40It's time for the recoupling and the girls are in control.
37:46Okay girls, I'm gonna ask you to stand up one at a time
37:49and tell me who you want to couple up with and why.
37:58Shelly, you're up first. Please stand up.
38:05Tell us who you'd like to couple up with and why.
38:08I would like to couple up with this boy because we've been on quite the journey.
38:15Through it all I felt very reassured, appreciated.
38:20I think he went the extra mile to not only tell me that I was his number one
38:24but show me that I was his number one.
38:27I asked him to let down his walls a little bit with me
38:30and even though I know it took a lot out of him, he did do that
38:34and that showed me that he trusts me and I could trust him as well.
38:39We've had our rollercoaster but I've seen that we can see it through
38:43and that we just continue to grow closer together.
38:47This boy makes me feel very special.
38:50Every day I feel like I get butterflies and I feel like that's something you usually have in the beginning
38:54but to still feel that tells me a lot about our connection.
39:01The boy that I would like to couple up with is...
39:07Ace.
39:10Congratulations Ace, you can go and join Shelly.
39:13It was teasing the whole time.
39:24Ace, you look happy. How are you feeling?
39:27I wouldn't want to spend this experience with anybody else but her.
39:30She's the person who makes me smile the most.
39:33I feel like she's listening when I'm talking and she understands me.
39:36And that's something I look forward to and spending the rest of my moments with her.
39:40Aww.
39:52Clark, you're up next.
39:54Please stand.
39:57Tell us who you'd like to couple up with and why.
40:02I'd like to couple up with this boy because from the very beginning he's been overly considerate.
40:10Making sure that I'm comfortable, continuously checking in on me.
40:15I love what we have going on right now.
40:18I'm looking forward to continuing to learn more about him and growing our connection.
40:24Yeah, I'm a happy girl.
40:27So the boy that I would like to couple up with is...
40:38Taylor.
40:40Congratulations Taylor.
40:42Go and get your girl.
41:02Taylor, how does it feel being a couple with Clark?
41:05It feels really good being a couple with Clark.
41:07You know, cupping up with her the first time and, you know, spending every day with her.
41:10It's been a good feeling and, you know, I'm ready to keep this going and see how far we can
41:15get with it.
41:18Huda, it's over to you.
41:21Okay.
41:24Who would you like to couple up with and why?
41:27Fuck, I'm nervous.
41:32I would like to couple up this boy because...
41:36I feel like the beginning of our journey was a really last minute decision.
41:41But it was a risk worth taking because this boy has done more than I could have imagined in terms
41:52of a man.
41:54Liking someone can be scary for me.
41:57And this person knows why I am the way that I am and why I love the way that I
42:03love and has never judged me for it.
42:05I feel like whenever I'm around him, I'm just so calm, which is really new for me.
42:12He's just extremely thoughtful, which is something also new to me.
42:17And I could see it going somewhere further in the outside world.
42:23He makes me really happy.
42:26I get nervous around him, which is also weird.
42:31But it's all good things that are new and I don't want to end it.
42:39So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
42:42I just close it's like I'm falling and I can find a way to...
42:50Chris.
42:52Congratulations, Chris.
42:54And go and join Huda.
43:02Let's go, Chris.
43:12Chris, how do you feel hearing all those wonderful things about you?
43:15I'm giddy right now, I ain't gonna lie to you.
43:18Hearing that makes me feel really good, reassured and confident in this connection.
43:23Going forward with it, for sure.
43:25Are you happy that Huda chose you?
43:26Hell yeah.
43:28Hell yeah.
43:34Speech was A1.
43:36I didn't practice even.
43:37I know, I could tell.
43:39That's what's A1 about it.
43:40Off the dome.
43:42Okay, Iris, we're coming to you next.
43:46Who would you like to couple up with and why?
43:52I would like to couple up with this boy because...
43:55Although we've had a similarly rough journey coming in here...
44:02This boy has made me feel very comfortable speaking to him and that's something that's really important to me.
44:11I've been having a good time getting to know him more and having more conversations with him.
44:15And I'm really excited to see how our journey here in Love Island blossoms.
44:24Honestly, I feel like I can just kind of be myself and have fun with this boy.
44:28The moment of our first kiss.
44:31I knew it was falling bliss.
44:34Got my heart in your pocket now.
44:37So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
44:50Pepe.
44:56Congratulations, Pepe.
44:57You can join Iris at the fire pit.
45:00The moment of our first kiss.
45:03I knew it was falling bliss.
45:06Got my heart in your pocket now.
45:11My heart in your pocket now.
45:23Oh, Landria.
45:25Oh, Landria, please stand up.
45:29It's time to decide.
45:31Who are you going to couple up with and why?
45:36I would like to couple up with this boy because he's always expressed how much he's valued me
45:41as a person, valued our bond. He has a crazy, quirky personality. I've loved him from the
45:48moment that I've met him. I'm super excited to spend the rest of my days with this person.
45:58The boy I would like to couple up with is
46:04Just when I think I'm falling, you pull me into the night
46:13Nick.
46:16Congratulations, Nick. You can join Alandria at the fire pit.
46:29That's my dog.
46:30Nick, how does it feel to be in a couple with Alandria again?
46:33It feels familiar, I think. Obviously, my strong connection is no longer in the villa.
46:40I think this time around, it's about focusing on each other, giving it 100%. I think that
46:46what I can do as a man is just be there for her and take care of her as best
46:49as I can.
46:50And so I'm just focused on that and making her mean, you know, bacon, egg, and cheese in the morning.
46:55There you go.
46:56And you guys already have an amazing friendship.
46:58Yeah.
46:59I feel like since night one.
47:00Yeah.
47:01So, you know, we'll see.
47:04We'll see.
47:04Yeah, it's exciting.
47:20So, would you love me or leave me with the soul that you're feeding?
47:56Will it break you apart?
47:56We're getting to know each and every single one of the gentlemen in front of me.
47:59They are all special in their own way, but now it is time to follow my gut and my intuition.
48:08Well, whoever you don't choose to couple up with, we'll be leaving the villa tonight.
48:22So, Amaya, who would you like to couple up with and why?
48:27I would like to couple up with this boy because he recognized the queen that I am.
48:36He allows me to illuminate without ever trying to dim my light.
48:41This has been an extreme difficult decision for me.
48:46It's not about just platonic.
48:48It's about something that I see in my future.
48:51He's very special to me.
48:53I feel like he understands me in different ways.
49:01I know I could be a little bit fiery sometimes, but it's like he's the water to the fire.
49:08So, the boy I would like to couple up with is...
49:36Welcome back to Love Island USA.
49:39The recoupling is almost over.
49:42Only Amaya remains and she has a big decision to make.
49:48I'm nervous.
49:49You got this girl.
49:51You got it, baby girl.
49:52Go what you're good.
50:06The boy I would like to couple up with is...
50:10When they call for you.
50:16What you gonna do when they call for you.
50:23Brian.
50:24Congratulations, Brian.
50:26You can join Amaya.
50:34Oh, you're so cute.
50:41Ryan, how do you feel about being the water to her fire?
50:45I feel amazing, honestly.
50:46Like, just hearing those things just reassures me.
50:49Everything I'm saying is I'm letting her be her.
50:52I always told her, don't ever change who you are.
50:54Be you unapologetically.
50:55And I really want to provide, like, a safe area for her to be in.
51:01And crazy that she provides that for me, too.
51:03So, definitely loving everything I'm hearing in.
51:08Amaya, how do you feel hearing that?
51:11I mean, like, this is the first time I've felt like my face gotten hot.
51:17It's amazing.
51:18He makes me feel very safe and protected.
51:21I mean, I cannot wait to see what the journey has for us,
51:25just going to be a beautiful story.
51:27Yeah, for sure.
51:28Congratulations, guys.
51:31Now, y'all look good together.
51:38Zach and Elan, you haven't been chosen to be in a couple,
51:42and that means that your time on Love Island is over.
51:47Zach, how are you feeling?
51:48I said to her, listen, whoever you pick, I'm going to support you.
51:52As long as you're happy, I'm happy for you, because she deserves it.
51:54You know?
51:55I'm probably for you.
51:56Thank you, Zach.
51:57I feel very much the same way.
51:59I mean, we have so many amazing girls here and so many amazing guys,
52:02and at the end of the day, I've gotten to know each and every single one of them,
52:04and I just want every single one of them to be happy.
52:07Casa Boys for life, man.
52:08Casa Boys for life.
52:10Thank you, guys.
52:12I'll leave you guys to pack your suitcases and say your goodbyes.
52:15The rest of you, I'll see you all soon.
52:17Bye.
52:18Bye, Ariana.
52:20Congrats.
52:25I'm ready to go, bro.
52:28Let's go.
52:29Hey, Balin.
52:32It's a pleasure meeting you.
52:33You too.
52:34I love you, bro.
52:35I'm gonna bet you one, man.
52:36Bet you one.
52:37Those are two of my guys, for real.
52:39I'm sad to see them go.
52:41I'm happy for this one you made, you know?
52:43I believe that Zach is a good guy.
52:46The romantic part of us did not work out,
52:49but I cannot wait for us to be great friends outside of here.
52:54Can we wait?
52:58Are there enough days left to try and stay out of wilderness?
53:09Oh, yeah.
53:12Mr. Maya, how are you feeling being covered up with Brian?
53:15I mean, our connection is fresh, but it's really going into something so beautiful.
53:20I feel really happy.
53:21And I can tell you do.
53:22Like, even what you were saying up there, I was just like, wow.
53:25I just love it.
53:27Andrea.
53:28Miss me a moment.
53:28Miss me a moment.
53:29Miss me a moment.
53:30Miss me a moment.
53:31Miss me a moment.
53:32We all have been there.
53:34That was tea.
53:35Like, we both got done from Casa.
53:37Just a little different fault.
53:39Just a little different fault.
53:39Just the same shit.
53:39Literally.
53:40And now, our connections are, you know what I mean?
53:42So, it's just like, and now it's us again.
53:44I'm like, all right.
53:45Let's see what the fuck this is really about.
53:47Yeah.
53:47And let's truly navigate this couple shit the right way this time.
53:51Yeah.
53:51Was it supposed to be us all along?
53:52I do really find it amazing how you guys just keep on finding each other.
53:57I love that.
53:58What I love is like how some of these connections have started off as friends first.
54:03I think that's so important.
54:04I've never had that.
54:05Everything's great.
54:06I'm so happy.
54:07I'm really happy for every single one of us.
54:09Yeah, it's great to be here.
54:11Aw.
54:11Group hug.
54:12Of course.
54:13But I'm like, I need a hug from everybody because I'm so happy to be here with all of you
54:18gorgeous girls.
54:19We can split off after that.
54:21The concert boys.
54:28Going into the experience, you know, you're not going to finish for everybody you came in with, but those are
54:33my two Casa bros.
54:35So knowing that Elan and Zach won't be here tomorrow morning is definitely a tough pill to swallow.
54:41Love you all.
54:42Take care.
54:43See you later.
54:44See you later.
54:45See you soon.
54:50It's sad, but it's coming to an end right now, but like I'm Naya, she's a special girl in there,
54:53and I wish them both nothing but the best.
54:56I have been away.
54:58I think I've had an incredible experience, and at the end of the day, what's meant to be is meant
55:02to be.
55:03So we can go home, so we can go home, so we can go home, cause I can't make them
55:22home, so can we go home?
55:28After Alandria's decision, Nick is with his girls, seeing if there's a chance sports could fly.
55:35And Zach is with a Spirit Airlines employee, seeing if there's any chance of extra leg room.
55:41Manchester is far.
55:43Yeah.
55:43Thank you, thank you.
55:45We meet again.
55:47We meet again.
55:48How you feeling?
55:49I'm excited.
55:50Thank you again for believing in me and believing in this.
55:54I couldn't imagine me picking someone else other than you, because I truly felt like we have had a bond
55:58since the beginning.
55:59Yeah, and I'm super thankful for your words, too, that you had said.
56:02Aw.
56:03It's really cool to hear the person that I've tried to be here, and you really made me feel validated
56:10for that and reassured.
56:11I love that.
56:11So, I think it's cool we get to try it again with, like, more clarity this time.
56:14Right.
56:15But, I'm gonna be honest, I still get nervous, like, talking to you.
56:18What?
56:18Nick, like, what day is it?
56:19Seriously.
56:20I swear.
56:20I swear.
56:21I swear.
56:22Me?
56:23Yeah, I don't know why.
56:25I don't know.
56:26I love it.
56:26Yeah.
56:27Love to keep you on your toes.
56:29Exactly.
56:30Aw.
56:30Cheers.
56:31It's crazy, because for both of us, none of us pictured this being our reality towards the end.
56:37I truly feel like we've built a foundation of the friendships and things like that.
56:40We don't have to start over with that shit.
56:41Yeah, nah.
56:41I feel like we've gotten the hard part of it, you know?
56:44And it's kind of like this little game.
56:46Like, I'm not gonna say a little cat and mouse game we've been playing, but it's like-
56:49A bit, yeah.
56:50Basically, right?
56:51And it's just like, how the fuck do we keep ending up here?
56:53It's like, was this supposed to be the story all along?
56:56Like, I'm not against it, but it's like, it's really throwing me off.
56:58Because, like, the signs were there.
57:00Were we just purposely oblivious to it?
57:03I swear.
57:03I have respect for certain people.
57:04It's like, I never pursued you.
57:06Right.
57:06Especially as we started to progress within this experience, but-
57:08I think vice versa.
57:10Like, the respect for, obviously, Taylor, and your respect for Ciara.
57:14Exactly.
57:14I'm just ready to navigate this new experience with you the right way this time.
57:19Without all the crazy drama surrounding it.
57:22This shit keeps happening for a reason.
57:24You know what I mean?
57:25Like, it's always Nick and Alandria.
57:27And for our journey to be almost identical is mind-blowing to me.
57:33I don't even, I can't wrap my head around this situation.
57:36Like, maybe it was Nick this whole time.
57:38We've just been so oblivious to it.
57:40So now, I'm fixated on the situation at hand, and I'm going to give him my all this time.
57:46100%.
57:47I don't see why not.
57:48Cause everything always comes back to you.
57:55Yeah, I'm super excited too.
57:56I couldn't imagine, like, ending off this experience with someone better than you.
58:00These crazy moments has led us to each other twice.
58:02I'm just super excited to see what's there.
58:05Cause everything always comes back to you.
