00:09Previously, this season on Love Island Beyond the Villa.
00:12I'm healed, and I hope you're healed.
00:14I'm happy that, like I said, we got to be here and speak it all out.
00:18How are you, love?
00:19Good.
00:20Good, good.
00:21For a long time, I was only close with Anna.
00:23Then her and Iris got really close.
00:25I would never get a call to hang out with her.
00:27It definitely doesn't feel good.
00:28We have to do another trip.
00:30Yeah, let's do another trip.
00:31Okay, but where?
00:33We're going to Lake Tahoe.
00:35I am ready to conquer the snow.
00:40Yeah, Iris.
00:42I can't stop.
00:44Look at this.
00:50Hi, Maria.
00:51How are you?
00:51Hi.
00:52Sorry.
00:52Oh, you got makeup?
00:53No, it's just relationship and boundaries.
00:56I feel like I don't need to, like, be close with everyone if that's not how I feel.
01:00At the end of the day, like, not everybody is your best friend.
01:03Jeez.
01:05Hey, y'all.
01:06I'm a pageant queen, and I have blonde hair.
01:11So, you picked the name.
01:14Grayson, are you good, though?
01:19Coco, Bella, can we go downstairs real quick?
01:21Oh, sure.
01:22Yeah, we're going to take a quick break.
01:25What's going on?
01:27We overheard you saying, like, you don't really want to be friends with everybody.
01:31You have your friends.
01:34Hannah, I think that you have kind of, like, isolated yourself from, like, speaking to
01:37everybody, including myself.
01:38It's not me intentionally doing that.
01:41I am exhausted.
01:44I'm not exhausted being around everyone.
01:47I am exhausted.
01:54I'm not thinking, hmm, let me check on, see how Bella and Grayson and Coco and Iris are
01:59doing.
02:00I wasn't even talking about you guys.
02:02I was talking about Brian and Chris.
02:04I'm sorry.
02:05I don't want to be friends with Brian and Chris.
02:07People are allowed to have, like, bad days.
02:09And, like, the times that we are together, maybe she was just not having, like, a good
02:14day.
02:14But then, like, that's why you asking me, like, upstairs, like, are you good?
02:20I don't think it was coming from that place.
02:22Like, it wasn't me trying to fucking stir up shit.
02:25I feel like I'm fucking talking out of my ass and nobody is using their fucking grain.
02:29It, like, actually, it's driving me crazy.
02:30And I have to be up for a flight in, like, an hour.
02:38Where's he going?
02:41We staying out the way.
02:42We having a peaceful time.
02:43This is my first trip.
02:45I'm missing school for this, all right?
02:46I'm not going to be caught up in no drama.
02:49What the fuck is going on downstairs?
02:50Grayson felt upset that they were, like, left out or something.
02:54Yeah, that's some girl stuff.
02:55Because imagine me, like, telling the critics, like, bro, why don't you hit me up to go work
02:58out?
02:58I want to see you more.
02:59Well, there's definitely a divide.
03:00Like, it's evident that Iris and Hannah don't want to, obviously, be friends with any of
03:04the other girls.
03:05Speaking of them not wanting to be friends, like, even what Hannah said about me and Brian,
03:08be friends with Chris and Brian, why would I want to do that?
03:10We had no clue she felt that way.
03:12I'm like, damn, like...
03:13That was a little aggressive.
03:14I'm like, what did we do?
03:15You don't have to be friends, but then I think there's an energy that's rude in it as well.
03:19Yeah, Hannah's just kind of like a firecracker.
03:21But she's just saying, like, she had a boyfriend, she's not looking for new male friends.
03:24Even if Hannah didn't have a boyfriend, I don't think anyone needs to want to be friends
03:28with anybody.
03:28If I have a girlfriend, I'm not going to go look to make new female friends.
03:32Did you, like, know, though, that's how she felt?
03:35Know what?
03:36Like...
03:36Towards us?
03:37Yeah.
03:37Not...
03:38I mean, obviously, I knew, like, they're not...
03:40They don't want to be, like, your friend because of my obvious...
03:42Yeah, no.
03:43But I didn't know, like, you're just kind of, like, his bro, so it's kind of just like...
03:46Oh, so I get treated like that because I'm his friend?
03:48You don't see it because you guys are fucking...
03:50Like, we not over here talking shit on anyone.
03:52Like, don't want to be around anyone.
03:54Like, I definitely don't see it from y'all's side because I'm not...
03:56I'm cool with him.
03:57Through this entire process and this experience, I think, like, one of the things I was hoping
04:02to get out of it was closer friendships.
04:05It sounds really corny, but, like, I wanted us all to, like, grow closer.
04:10There's always been, like, this underlying, like, I think, hurt.
04:15Kind of like a feeling of, like...
04:19Like, you don't care.
04:24I take accountability in the fact that maybe I haven't been close to all of you guys and
04:29it's not out of ill intention or I hate any of you.
04:33I don't hate any of you.
04:34I think you all are great people, but I have my own things to deal with.
04:39I have my friends before all of this shit that, like, don't hear from me.
04:43Sometimes I'm not, like, really present, but it's, like, I'm just having a hard time.
04:50People think that I am, like, standoffish or rude.
04:55But in reality, I'm just, like, somebody who's, like, struggling.
05:00I feel like I'm a new person now and I'm trying to figure myself out.
05:05Like, you know, you can't sit here now and tell me those girls were giving the energy, like, fucking...
05:12I think the thing is, I think that's okay.
05:14Like, they don't got to be best friends.
05:16No, no, no one has to be best friends.
05:17Yeah.
05:18You know, it's just, like, being a normal human and just say, yo, what's up?
05:21Like, bro, me and her haven't even said a word.
05:23Okay, but you haven't said a word and she hasn't said a word, so it's two-way street.
05:26Because, bro, because the energy she gives is fucking weird, bro.
05:29We connected, I can't say what's up.
05:30Nothing.
05:31She looked away.
05:31What the fuck have I ever actually done, bro?
05:34Nothing.
05:35This is a repeat of Palm Springs.
05:37I don't know what's going on with her, mate, to be honest with you.
05:40Who knows?
05:41I do think it's a little bit odd, yeah?
05:43It might just be ego.
05:45Palm Springs was a moment where we kind of felt like maybe we didn't, like, fit in the group.
05:49And, like, you know, that stings a little.
05:52The divide is, like, not on my end.
05:56I don't know about you guys, but, like, I don't feel like you guys feel divide.
06:00Yeah.
06:00I'm just very drawn off by everything that's going on because I don't really see what they're saying.
06:07I mean, Hannah and Iris, they don't have a mean bone in their bodies.
06:11Why do you feel isolated?
06:13Why, like, where does this isolation ever come from?
06:15It's not from you, Amaya.
06:16You do really well at, like, talking to everyone.
06:19And, like, there are also others that don't do that well at that.
06:24To be, like, oh, I really praise you because you can talk to everyone, that's singling me out.
06:28It's also putting other people here and other people here.
06:31Yeah, you're literally, like, I praise you.
06:33I don't think that that was the point that I was making.
06:35I was more so making a point that, like, we should all be speaking to each other.
06:39Simple as that.
06:39I can appreciate someone without calling anyone out, but it's very apparent that you don't want a kumbaya.
06:46The first time I, like, felt her was, like, at the Christmas party.
06:51Like, I tried to, like, confide in you, like, about a situation.
06:56I felt like you did hear me more in that moment, but, like, you didn't listen to me, like, at
07:01all.
07:01I was trying to listen to you, but there was so much going on.
07:04I want to just also say my feelings with Bella were strained after the holiday party.
07:10And that wasn't in Palm Springs.
07:12That was after she brought TJ over to Pepe.
07:15I brought both of you guys over to Pepe.
07:17He has expressed that he wants to have conversations.
07:20If he does want to have a conversation, he needs to take accountability for all the lies.
07:27Can I say this?
07:28She would only do it to, like, try to, like, make everyone feel okay.
07:31So that's my boyfriend.
07:32Like, that's my boyfriend, you know?
07:34It's more about, like, boundaries.
07:36But if these boundaries have never been set, then how would she know that?
07:38But it's like, it's like girl code.
07:40Why is Bella getting involved?
07:42I just feel like this isn't very fair.
07:46I came into this wanting us all to just get along.
07:52Ugh.
07:53I hate this situation.
07:54I don't have a lot of bad things to say about Bella, but I think she always tries to bring
08:00everybody together and everyone should be friends.
08:02And in reality, life's not like that.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Bella, this friendship that could have been potentially amazing is on the withhold right
08:09now because of the friendships and connections that you have with both of our ex-boyfriends.
08:14As a woman, I just don't understand how you can't understand that.
08:17But you guys know that the only reason that I had been in the same spaces, in the same
08:23rooms as your exes is because I've always just been cool with everybody.
08:28I haven't had beef with anybody.
08:30Even though I understand the circumstance, I understand it, but I can't respect it.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Amaya coming at me really hurts.
08:38She thinks I'm best friends with Brian.
08:40That's not the case.
08:42I love Amaya.
08:44I love her so much.
08:45And even when they went through their breakup, I was supposed to have a brand deal with Brian
08:49for $20,000.
08:50And I turned that down right away out of my loyalty to Amaya.
08:54She thinks I'm not even considering her.
08:56And I do think that's pretty considerate.
08:58I respect each one of you and I care about you guys.
09:03I think it was just like a lot of things coming to a head.
09:06Yeah.
09:06It's those like schoolgirl feelings.
09:09I feel like there are times where we're not like completely nice to each other.
09:13You know that's going to push a mean girl narrative that I don't fuck with.
09:17I just, I have a flight and I'm going to leave.
09:20You can leave.
09:21That's fine.
09:22Good night, everyone.
09:36For Hannah to stand up and walk out, it's just kind of a slap in the face.
09:40I'm sorry, but like, that's.
09:42She does have a fight though.
09:44But like, that doesn't feel good to just get up while I'm crying and leave.
09:51My anxiety is really bad.
09:53And I'm not somebody that's like, when I'm having a hard time, I can fake it with a smile
09:57on my face and that can come off as like bitchy or rude, I guess, but I just kind of
10:03have
10:03to ride it out.
10:04That's not okay.
10:05I'm not standing for that.
10:15I'm finna go, I'm finna go make sure she's good.
10:18She's being vulnerable and she doesn't do that often.
10:20So is that, is that what you feel like is not nice?
10:23That's not okay.
10:24I have to say, I agree.
10:25I'm not standing for that.
10:26Yeah, I have to say, I agree.
10:28I don't even want to talk about it too much because she's not here anymore.
10:31I've talked to her.
10:33I've seen her going through some mental stuff and I give her so much grace, but I'm not
10:39part of the situation.
10:40And I have to say that I understand how these girls feel.
10:44Because even myself, I felt a little bit that way.
10:47She's just very vocal about how she doesn't care about us.
10:51I don't think that she doesn't care.
10:53I don't think that it is anything like to pinpoint any one of you guys at all.
10:57I don't know.
10:58I don't know.
10:59How are you feeling now?
11:01How are you?
11:01Bro, I'm going crazy.
11:03You're good.
11:03Like, I'm sorry.
11:04I don't want to argue.
11:10Let's just call it a night.
11:12Let's go to bed.
11:14Yeah.
11:16I'll catch y'all.
11:18Come on, get your ass out.
11:22Oh, boy.
11:23You know you're a good person.
11:25That's enough.
11:25I feel like I'm turning you into an angry guy from that movie.
11:29You know, like, where it's like, that's me, a volcano coming out of my ass.
11:33You just need to sleep, Sebastian, Luca, Paris, you're good.
11:35And if everyone fucking hates me, at least I have a dog and a boyfriend that fucking love me.
12:10You know, we can do this every day in the country.
12:12Just sit and enjoy the view.
12:13The view don't look like this, Taylor.
12:16When we get our house, we're going to have a nice view.
12:18Okay.
12:19And I kind of want a change of scenery before I settle down in nature type of thing.
12:27So, what's your deal with that?
12:29L.A., New York, Charlotte?
12:32I like New York and I like L.A.
12:35But I want to be close to my family.
12:37My plan right now is to stay home, continue to work towards the goals I had for myself
12:44before all of this was introduced, the life coaching in school and, you know, that side
12:50of things.
12:51I'm just going to stay in North Carolina, travel to New York and L.A. for work, and I'm
12:56going to continue to prioritize studying psychology.
12:59School is super expensive.
13:00So, with content creation, social media, this will all help me be able to pay for school
13:06and be comfortable in doing that.
13:08I think you've got a much crazier schedule with school.
13:12I have a much crazier schedule with my endeavors.
13:16So, we have to see each other at least once a month.
13:20Mm-hmm.
13:20Clark decided to stay in North Carolina.
13:23Showed me that, you know, she's looking at the bigger picture and not just trying to,
13:27you know, live in the moment.
13:27I'm down for Charlotte over L.A.
13:30It's more of a slowest pace.
13:32Not as bad as traffic, not as many people.
13:35Some chaotic stuff happened last night.
13:38A sip tea.
13:41Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
13:44I think I needed this after yesterday.
13:48Yeah.
13:49Chat.
13:50Last night was crazy.
13:51The conversation downstairs.
13:53There was, like, this narrative being, like, pushed that, like,
13:57I'm a mean girl.
13:59They feel excluded from me and Hannah.
14:02I was just so stuck on the idea that I'm friends with Pepe and I'm not friends with Pepe.
14:08We cannot let this guy dictate friendships.
14:11Like, if these are exes, no, no, no.
14:13He's got so much power.
14:14I can't even understand this concept of Pepe playing a part in any of our relationships.
14:22The problem is with Iris and something that she needs to sort out with Pepe.
14:26Before I went to bed, I was looking at my texts with Grayson.
14:30December 18th.
14:31The holiday party?
14:32Yeah.
14:32And I said, I wanted to check in on you.
14:34How are you?
14:34Did you guys squash it?
14:35I was freaked out last night.
14:37So I did text her.
14:38And I did check in on her.
14:40In my eyes, it defeats the whole, like, you don't check in.
14:43Like, you know.
14:44Because what was I doing the night of the holiday party afterwards?
14:47I was, like, bawling my eyes out at home.
14:50And I still made it a point to make sure she was still okay.
14:54Grayson and Bella said that they feel like I wasn't fully there for them.
14:59That's not true to my experience at all.
15:01I feel like I really was there for them.
15:04And for them to just say this out of nowhere to me is very hurtful.
15:09I appreciate you always having my back and always listening to me.
15:13And always being there for me and giving me different perspectives.
15:16I value that a lot.
15:18And I love you.
15:18Thank you for being here for me.
15:21I love you, too.
15:25Teen.
15:29Yeah, it's official.
15:30I said I love you first.
15:33I've been wanting to say that to you for a while.
15:36It takes me a long time to really love somebody.
15:40And with him, it's been really quick.
15:43That's crazy.
15:45I am really thankful for him.
15:47I really love him a lot.
15:49You should run through the house and say you love me.
15:54I love you, too.
15:56I love you, too.
16:00I love you, too.
16:03Yeah?
16:04I love you guys.
16:05I love you, too.
16:06Bye.
16:07Good morning.
16:09Good morning, good morning, good morning.
16:12Hey, come on, everybody.
16:14Gather around.
16:14Let's go snowboarding.
16:16Woo!
16:18Snowmobiling.
16:19Snowboarding?
16:20Fuck.
16:20All right, come on, everybody.
16:22Let's go tubing and snowmobiling.
16:24Yay!
16:28Everybody, let's bounce.
16:29Bring your asses.
16:31All right, all right.
16:35I got something to prove, and I got nothing to lose.
16:41So here we go, go, go, go.
16:49Oh my gosh.
16:50I'm excited.
16:51Yeah!
16:53Hold on, we going snowmobiling.
16:55Hi, guys.
16:57Couples, man.
16:59Couple shit.
17:00Sure feels good to be in a couple.
17:02Man, doesn't it?
17:03I can't imagine not being in a fucking couple.
17:06Whoa!
17:07We got hills and shit?
17:09Oh my gosh.
17:10Wait, let me see.
17:11Wait, can we go down two in a time?
17:13Nah, bruh.
17:14Launch me, Cassie.
17:16Chris, be careful.
17:17Launch me.
17:18Oh shit!
17:21Time?
17:23Want to spin?
17:24Yeah.
17:25Oh my God!
17:28Poor Gracie!
17:31Ow!
17:36Yeah, buddy!
17:44Oh hell!
17:46Yo, how you made this shit go faster, dawg?
17:49Little dude, no, we in a competition, okay?
17:51It's just couple versus couple.
17:52Yeah, they don't even know.
17:52We coming out on top.
17:54But...
17:54Damn.
18:04Oh no, that is crazy.
18:09Yeah!
18:11Yeah!
18:12Yeah!
18:12And that's what I call a rival in style, bitches!
18:15Mm-hmm.
18:19Are you having fun?
18:21Uh, yeah.
18:22You?
18:23Uh, yeah.
18:25I mean, it's like yesterday.
18:29Um...
18:32I feel like we need to talk though.
18:34For sure, what's on your mind?
18:37I think that when it comes to us and our friendship, I want the flirting to actually stop for good.
18:46I'll bet.
18:47All right, then I'll stop.
18:48That's fair.
18:48But I've never once, like, led you on.
18:51No, that's not true.
18:54How's it not true?
18:55I think everybody online just assumes you're with Jeremiah.
18:59I know.
19:01Oh!
19:03Look at this!
19:07Hey.
19:08Good morning.
19:10I'm very transparent with you about where I stand.
19:14Friendship, best friend.
19:16But I don't feel like you act like you're my friend.
19:22We're flaring, we're posting a lot of content together, so everybody thinks we're together.
19:26And we're not.
19:27Why?
19:31Yes, we flirt.
19:33Together.
19:34Yes, together.
19:34And if you want that to stop, that's cool.
19:36But the mix, same old thing, it's like...
19:37Well, it's you always...
19:39Who stars?
19:41It's always you.
19:42All right, you got it.
19:42Hey.
19:42No, I don't...
19:43No, I'm...
19:44No, I don't want to make you...
19:46I promise we're good.
19:55No, I don't...
19:56No, I'm...
19:57No, I don't want to make you...
19:58I promise we're good.
20:08Well, that went bad, I think.
20:10If you care about me as your friend, why are you hurting my feelings?
20:15Like, you're literally playing with me.
20:19What up, mama?
20:20Cheers!
20:22What the hell?
20:24Are we gonna stay on?
20:34Hey, Maya, can I talk to you for a quick second?
20:38About what?
20:40Uh, I'm respecting your boundaries, and that's kind of what I just really quick just want
20:44to touch on.
20:45The only thing I want to say is, I wouldn't do anything to disrespect your relationship
20:50and your boundaries, I just feel like the boundaries switched, and if you real quick
20:56was like, Brian, on some real shit, we can't really greet each other, I'm just doing this
21:01for me and my relationship, I would have been like, cool, noted, like, we're good.
21:05The only thing I felt hella, like, slapped in the face with was like, the dinner table
21:10thing.
21:11At the end of the day, if I don't fuck with someone, I just don't fuck with you.
21:15I thought the dinner thing was a little much for someone that just tried to say,
21:19hi in a cultural way, like, that's why I was even questioning, like, is that about me?
21:24I mean, if you're cool with your girl kissing her ex on his cheeks to say hi, that's a you
21:31problem, but that's not something I'm cool with, and that's not something my man's cool
21:35with, and we will never be cool with that.
21:36No, for sure, no, I see that, and that's cool, like, I'm not negating that at all.
21:40Especially with this new relationship that I have right now that I'm very content in,
21:45I don't want anything, especially Brian, boundaries, confusion, to destroy this beautiful love story
21:58that I have currently going on.
21:59We gave each other a hug in Palm Springs, right?
22:01We said hi, boom, that's it.
22:03That's it.
22:04How are you, love?
22:05Good?
22:05Good, good.
22:07It's not like I was giving you, like, it was a heritage thing.
22:11No, for sure.
22:11We know that, like, we both went through that, like, with the villa thing.
22:14I'm not trying to say that you came in there with a tension of trying to be malicious or
22:19anything like that, but what I'm saying is that before we were just saying hi, keeping
22:23it casual, but now as my relationship is progressing, it's like I don't even want to say hi to you.
22:28And that's fine.
22:28I was just confused as in that.
22:30Yeah, I'm the one that pulled me for a trap right now.
22:31No, I know, just because it was like, this is the last day on the trip.
22:33Like, I was just confused as in, like, if I really OD'd, disrespected it or something
22:37like that.
22:37That is being disrespectful.
22:38Okay, then I apologize for that.
22:40That won't happen again.
22:42You go that way, I'll go this way, and that's cool.
22:44Like, that's what it is.
22:45That's literally what it is.
22:46Yes.
22:46It's wild to hear that she thinks I was trying to disrespect her relationship.
22:51Uh, I hope that works out.
22:53Like, I really do have wished her nothing but the best.
22:56God bless.
22:57God bless.
23:02That is literally the clarity I need.
23:04Book is closed, and it's sent away.
23:07I'm happy that that was clear a lot, whatever the fuck happened right there.
23:10Yeah.
23:10Because motherfucker, don't even fucking come near me.
23:13Yeah.
23:13Are you crazy?
23:14You see how long my motherfucking hair is?
23:16When I flip it, that's how far you gotta stay back away from me.
23:19Back the fuck up from me and my weed, bitch.
23:22Spin and snap.
23:24The fuck?
23:25I'm crazy.
23:27Can I jump and go?
23:28Yeah, he needs something.
23:29Okay, no.
23:30Christopher, please be careful.
23:31Do you have gloves?
23:32Woo!
23:32No, only gloves.
23:33I'm such a mom.
23:34Let me just relax.
23:36He's nuts.
23:37He's literally nuts.
23:39No.
23:42Shit's so weird, bro.
23:44He was like, I've always been clear, we're friends.
23:46What?
23:46He said that?
23:47Yeah.
23:47I'm like, I'm so glad the camera caught you doing all that weird shit.
23:50The day before the bar, he kissed me.
23:53Yeah.
23:53I never said that to make him look bad.
23:55Yeah.
23:55So how you...
23:56Oh.
23:58Gotcha.
23:59Oh my God.
24:00Too late.
24:01Okay, I'm your best friend, but you kissed me two days ago.
24:04But not only just kissing me, but also being all over me.
24:09I think he's trying to protect his image.
24:13You've never escalated it.
24:14Even though we're flirting, at the end of the day, like, I know we're just friends and I'm
24:18not gonna, like, do something to jeopardize that.
24:20Has she ever tried to escalate things with you?
24:24No.
24:24I have all the test messages.
24:25It's always him testing me.
24:27I'm like, we're friends.
24:28We don't need to talk every day.
24:29He's like, hey, just checking on you.
24:31Don't fucking check on me.
24:31Yeah.
24:32Me and Taylor are friends.
24:33He's not checking on me.
24:34You should sometimes.
24:37I'm ready.
24:39Woo!
24:40I just graced it with my life.
24:42I forgot how to start it already.
24:43I'm not even gonna hold you.
24:44I forgot how to start it already, y'all.
24:46Keep walking over here.
24:47Okay.
24:49Your time?
24:50Yeah.
24:52Bye!
24:54This is getting the all over again.
24:56At the end of the day, I think that when you use words and say things like, I let you
25:02or I allow you, it gives a false perception that it was one-sided.
25:06I never said that.
25:08I said, you're always the one to initiate everything.
25:12And I follow, like, I do it back.
25:14Yeah, that feels, like, different than, like, neutral, though.
25:17Like, it just feels like I'm, like, just annoying you or on your body crazy.
25:20No.
25:20Cause I always said, it's fun and I like it, but it has to stop because-
25:24That's smooth.
25:25Like, that's all you had to say.
25:26I feel like the conversation-
25:27But I think I said the same thing, just in different words.
25:30But at the end of the day, it's like, you want the flirting to stop?
25:33I'm so down for that.
25:36I guess, I mean, after this trip, I guess, I'll see you around.
25:41I'll see you around is crazy.
25:42I mean, I don't know what-
25:45Okay, good.
25:49At first, I didn't understand where Anjun was coming from because I was like, I'm telling you we're just friends.
25:54How are you getting mixed signals?
25:55But if I'm telling you we're just friends and we're flirting like we're not just friends, that's how you get
25:59mixed signals.
26:01Come, come over here.
26:02Come.
26:03Is my hair messed up? I can't even see anything.
26:05I can't even see you.
26:06What are you gonna do?
26:08Shit.
26:08She knows the type of conversation we need to have.
26:10She's already texted me this morning crying.
26:12We don't need to do this if you don't want to.
26:14She was basically giving me an out.
26:15Like deadass, she gonna take that shit bad either way.
26:17But how was you planning to do it in the first place?
26:19Off camera.
26:20Coco.
26:21He's telling me to do it off camera, like talk to her off camera.
26:24I know my boy Chris is scared to talk to Coco because he's scared that Courtney might come out.
26:31But I think he should just rip the bandaid off instead of like having it lingered on.
26:34Cause as long as it lingers on and he doesn't want to be part of it anymore, the real Courtney
26:39gonna come out.
26:40I hope he does it quick cause it's only gonna get worse.
26:43Respect your wishes.
26:44Cause if you don't, she won't get more mad at you for not respecting her wishes.
26:46That's what I'm saying.
26:48Okay.
26:49Alright guys.
26:49I'm ready to go back to be honest with you.
26:51Yeah.
26:53I'm starving.
26:54I'm cold.
26:58I feel like today was the first day I was finally able to enjoy myself fully.
27:02I really had such a great time.
27:04It was so fun.
27:10Time to pack our shit up and get the hell out of here.
27:18Oh my God.
27:20It's time to go back home.
27:25I didn't even get to wear my fur.
27:29Tahoe was rough in the beginning and it was rough in the end.
27:33I feel like the division just grew more prominent.
27:37And I hate that for us.
27:43Guys, quick.
27:44We're gonna miss the sunset.
27:47I had a great time in Tahoe.
27:49There were obviously some tough conversations and it was a little weird.
27:53But we're a big family at the end of the day.
27:56We went through a very unique experience together.
27:59And I'm just so happy to have these friendships.
28:05I love Iris!
28:17I think we got a good, this is eight bars from last time.
28:21Right, yeah.
28:21And I think we got a nice little record here, honestly.
28:24I'm excited.
28:25My team and I are hoping to drop the album right before summer because we want to make sure that
28:31all of the girlies, all of the papayas are, you know what?
28:33The dads could dance to it too.
28:35Want a taste of this papaya? Come and sip it up.
28:41Yeah, the band, do some more dance.
28:44Do some more dance again.
28:45Do some more dance again.
28:46Do some more dance again.
28:49Since you were sick in Tahoe, did you even get a talk to Grayson?
28:52Wait, how was that for you though, seeing her?
28:53It was fine.
28:54We're both just kind of at the understanding now.
28:56It's just not, like, gonna happen.
28:59You're gonna kick with her?
29:00Oh yeah, like, I mean, she's a really great friend.
29:03Do you know what I mean?
29:05Andrina just texted me.
29:06What did Andrina say?
29:08I love you, I miss you, where you at?
29:11No, I'm just kidding.
29:12I'm gonna give it ten minutes, so the flight and stuff.
29:14Fuck off!
29:14Want a taste of this papaya? Come and sip it up.
29:29Thank you. Enjoy.
29:38What's up, brother?
29:39How we doing, bro?
29:40Good to see you, bro.
29:41Long time no see.
29:41My name is Nick Vance.
29:43I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.
29:44You might know me from season seven, Love Island.
29:47Feeling hella dope, cause I am.
29:49If I wasn't more, I would be the main man.
29:52I'm a mom.
29:54Mamacita.
29:59Quick, hurry up, get in!
30:03What the fuck?
30:05You might not, and if you don't, my name is Nick Vance.
30:10Cheers, bro.
30:11Good to see you, man.
30:11You as well.
30:12How's wifey?
30:13How's wifey?
30:14Great, bro.
30:14We're now dating and everything, so.
30:16Sick.
30:17Yeah, I've been staying with her for a little while.
30:19I'm with Jeremiah all the time.
30:20I'm with Hannah, Iris.
30:21Pepe all the time?
30:22No, he honestly hasn't been showing up.
30:24Really?
30:25Is there beef?
30:26There's a bunch of stuff he said, took away from Iris and I's relationship.
30:30But, uh, we're not on the same page.
30:32We, uh, you know, we'll just, we're just not gonna be friends.
30:36I'm not that surprised that, you know, that there's tension.
30:39Since the beginning of time, girls will make men go crazy.
30:43Pepe and I are boys.
30:44I just support both my boys at the end of the day.
30:46Like, I stay out of it.
30:47Where'd you get that thing, bro?
30:48Well, Andrew got it for me for Christmas.
30:49Oh, really?
30:50That's fire.
30:51Bro, it was dancing.
30:52I gave her a present and, um, I, like, filmed it for my YouTube video or whatever.
30:57And people started, like, crashing out, like.
30:59Why?
30:59The, I guess, like, the Louis box was, it was small.
31:03Oh.
31:03But, like, people were like, oh, like, he didn't get her shit.
31:06I was like, fuck you.
31:07Oh, my God.
31:07I got her something good, but.
31:09That's, like, some of the toughest things.
31:12Like, since The Villa, like, dealing with the public and, like, everyone watching everything
31:16and, like, having an opinion, I think it's, like.
31:18It's crazy.
31:19Yeah.
31:19Because, like, you kind of control, like, the narrative in a little bit of a way.
31:22Like, I only let people see, like, 10%.
31:25I think there is some things that we keep private, but we post every day, basically.
31:30It's just a part of our daily life.
31:31So, the public knows the majority of what's going on in our lives.
31:35So, I saw Alandria went to the Golden Globes.
31:40Yeah, yeah.
31:41You couldn't make it or something?
31:42I never got the invite in the mail.
31:44Oh, shit.
31:44My car kit moving.
31:46Oh.
31:46That's my home address.
31:48Yeah, yeah.
31:48No, but next year.
31:49I really want to get into acting and, like.
31:51Yeah.
31:52What's your plans?
31:52Do you think you're moving out here or anything or?
31:55I don't know.
31:55Like, the DJing's so time consuming and, like, I go back and forth every other day.
32:00Dude, I've been debating it for forever.
32:03But, I don't know.
32:04It's kind of not my vibe out here.
32:06Yeah.
32:07Talk about long distance.
32:08Like, is that hard for you?
32:09Yeah.
32:10I mean, like, it's literally the opposite sides of the country.
32:13Yeah.
32:13What about you?
32:14She's in Houston.
32:14So, it's, like, only two and a half hours away.
32:17Oh, yeah.
32:17But, at the same time, it's like, she is never in Houston and I'm never in Florida.
32:22So, it's like.
32:23You guys are so busy and everything.
32:24How do you make time for each other?
32:27It's rough.
32:28I mean, I'm in a club, like, probably Wednesday through Saturday.
32:32And, she's 99% doing a shoot throughout the week or whatever.
32:36But, honestly, our schedules have been, like, aligning up pretty nicely.
32:39Oh, really?
32:39Like, she coincidentally was in LA yesterday.
32:42So, we got dinner, chilled, kicked it.
32:45I mean, just pray that it aligns.
32:47Iris and I are the same way.
32:48But, you know, she has a lot more going on than I obviously do.
32:51But, I have more with, like, the real estate and the stuff over in Tampa.
32:55So, that's kind of, like, where we are, like, a little off schedule.
33:01I've never really done a long distance relationship before.
33:03So, it's very new to me.
33:06And, there's a lot to learn.
33:07And, it's a lot to balance.
33:09But, Iris and I were making the long distance work.
33:12I feel like we don't get to see each other every single day.
33:14So, when we are together, we're making sure that it's quality time spent.
33:18Good to see you, bro.
33:19Yeah.
33:19Thank you for coming out, bro.
33:20Of course.
33:40Oh, you look good.
33:42Yeah, I like this necklace.
33:44I've never seen it.
33:52So, you and TJ, how are you guys doing?
33:55You guys said, I love you, like, officially?
33:57Yeah.
33:58We were in bed.
33:59So, I was like, oh, I love you.
34:00Aw.
34:01He's always there for me.
34:02Like, you know, Sebastian, like, he's always, like, there for you and always has your back.
34:06That's what we needed this whole time.
34:09When are you going to Aruba?
34:10Yeah.
34:10During Valentine's Day?
34:12I told myself no more cold places.
34:14I like Tahoe, though.
34:15It was beautiful.
34:16It was really beautiful.
34:17I was just going through it.
34:19Yeah, and I felt like everybody was kind of, like, attacking you.
34:22The thing is, I was just not having, like, I was not doing good.
34:25And, like, I feel like that's okay.
34:26I feel like my friends would, like, know that.
34:30We know.
34:31I just feel like people don't understand how I deal with things because it's different than the way that they
34:38deal with things.
34:38Like, I'm doing my best and it's just really hard that, like, I feel like everybody's just going against me.
34:45I always say, like, you need to just be yourself and the people that like you want to be around
34:51you and the people that don't, don't, you know?
34:52Yeah.
34:53And, like, that's okay.
34:54Doesn't this spot on my set kind of look like a penis?
34:58It does.
34:59That one's a penis.
35:01I was staring at her right now.
35:03I was like, ah!
35:04I feel dirty.
35:15So cute.
35:23Hi, baby.
35:24How are you?
35:25How are you?
35:26How are you?
35:27Where's Gray?
35:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:30Oh, there she is!
35:32Hey, what's up?
35:35Hi, guys.
35:36Hi.
35:37You look good, girl.
35:38You look good.
35:39I'm like a Twilight vampire right now.
35:41No, stop.
35:42Don't say that.
35:43We love the little Edward moment, though.
35:45Oh!
35:47We all got the same thing.
35:48Thank you so much.
35:50Wow, these are good.
35:51That breather was great, right?
35:53Yeah, I haven't really talked to many since the trip.
35:57But, I mean, it's only been, like, a week, so.
35:59I talked to Andreina a little bit, but.
36:01Yeah, me too.
36:02She was kind of nice.
36:02She kind of was, like, in her corner a little bit.
36:05I just wish there was, like, no animosity, no tension.
36:09Obviously, like, Hannah asked me.
36:12So I was like, if you're gonna ask me, I have to speak on it.
36:14I understand what you're saying, but I'm also really happy that you did speak your mind,
36:18because otherwise that's something that you would have been, like, holding in.
36:22Yeah.
36:24All of that aside, have you spoke to Chris lately?
36:27How have you guys been?
36:29Girl.
36:31Mmm.
36:32I feel like, mmm, what's that look?
36:36Don't piss me off.
36:37I mean, I sent him a message, and I let him know that things are off.
36:40I'm not sure why, but if we need to call it, we can.
36:43Yeah.
36:54You know?
36:57So I was looking for him to fix it, and it didn't feel like that.
37:02It felt almost like a drag.
37:05It felt like...
37:06Yeah.
37:06He was just sweeping it out of the rug.
37:08During the trip in Tahoe, I realized I wasn't gonna get what I needed from him in a relationship.
37:13There was still a certain attentiveness that he lacked.
37:16Hey, watch my board, bruh.
37:18You know?
37:18Watch your board?
37:19I gotta hang up.
37:21Oh, my God.
37:23You gotta pick it up.
37:24I'm having a hard time.
37:25I'm not a baby, but at the same time, when I'm with a man, I'm his baby.
37:31So did you guys speak again after Tahoe?
37:33We did.
37:34It was very inconsistent communication, and now we've kind of, like, called things off.
37:40So that's where you guys stand?
37:42Yeah, we're done.
37:43I don't like the story.
37:45The ending was better in my head.
37:47Girl, me too.
37:48But no, babes.
38:00What's going on, brother?
38:01What up, Brian?
38:02Big dog for a big guy.
38:04I know.
38:04Big guy.
38:05We have boundaries, brother.
38:06Boundaries.
38:09Hey, how are you?
38:09Hi, Maria.
38:10How are you?
38:10Sorry, no.
38:11You got makeup?
38:12No, it's just that my relationship in Boundaries.
38:16Hey.
38:17I died forward.
38:18Yeah, I died.
38:20You good, though?
38:21What's happening, man?
38:22This is Koda, bro.
38:23God, and Koda?
38:24Koda's already tired?
38:25He went to the park earlier.
38:27Yeah, that's...
38:28You done for the day, huh?
38:29No.
38:30Koda need to hop on the gluten-free, dairy-free diet for a little bit out here that they do
38:35in
38:35LA.
38:36He old, for real?
38:37Yeah, he about to be eight.
38:38That's why he got the Great Hill.
38:39That's what I'm saying, bro.
38:40Like, he's not about to be shredded.
38:43I'm gonna be officially moved out here in February.
38:46Word.
38:46Yeah.
38:47Did you find a spot?
38:48Yeah.
38:48Oh, shit, okay.
38:49I went Hollywood.
38:51Being in LA the past few months and going from the East Coast to the West Coast has definitely
38:55been an adjustment, but I can't lie, I can't deny this, the weather and the views.
39:00Yeah, I'm loving Cali, I'll say that.
39:01It's just about that time.
39:02All the brands and stuff work out here, too, so...
39:05Yeah.
39:06What up?
39:07You wanna chill here for a little bit?
39:08Yeah, bro.
39:08I think Koda need a break.
39:11Huh, Barry?
39:12I'm hella excited, bro, moving out here.
39:14Yeah, me too, bro.
39:15And then we're gonna spend the summer out here and stuff like that, so...
39:17How are you, though, bro, since Tahoe?
39:19Since that whole situation and everything?
39:22Really good, bro.
39:23Really?
39:23Honestly, like, that was, like...
39:26Because obviously we left off, like, when we first talked, it was cool and everything,
39:30and then Tahoe kind of, like, everything switched.
39:32Yeah.
39:32But, like, it was more so, like, we're cordial, like, that chapter's been closed.
39:36I feel like I closed a chapter in some part of my life, bro, and I'm opening up a brand
39:40new chapter out here in LA.
39:41Yeah.
39:42Starting fresh and stuff like that, so...
39:43Yeah.
39:43How are you feeling post Tahoe, Oklahoma?
39:46That was a lot.
39:47How's stuff with you and Koko?
39:50We're done.
39:52Really?
39:53Yeah, I told her we should just be friends, bro.
39:56I just don't think I can meet the expectations that she has of just where I am in life right
40:00now, bro.
40:02I can't be stressed and worried about getting that done.
40:07Koko was raised by a single dad, and, you know, he instilled some expectations and treatment
40:12that, you know, a man should be giving her, which any dad should do.
40:15I would do that for my own daughter.
40:17I think when you're on the other side and you're actually dating the girl that has those
40:21expectations from her father, I think it's a little tough.
40:24What do you think she's saying to the girls right now about you?
40:28I'm not really tripping, bro.
40:31Another one bites the dust.
40:33Wait, so you guys are, like, done?
40:35You called it quits?
40:36I gave him some space and then kind of reached out.
40:39I kind of let him know, like, hey, I'm going to keep the band with you.
40:42I feel like our exchange hasn't been as fluent.
40:45In the beginning, I felt like you were really invested and excited to get closer to me.
40:50But I feel like now I'm not really sure how you feel.
40:52And then I go on Instagram and, like, he's outside with Brian.
40:57He went to the club over the weekend without you?
41:01I was just like, oh, well, maybe he's just dealing with whatever personal things he has going on.
41:06And then I go on Instagram and I'm like, oh, you're at the club in a section.
41:11You're outside.
41:13And I'm inside waiting for your text.
41:15Did you speak with him after the club or did you just see him in the club?
41:19I did.
41:19I did.
41:20Okay, so you kind of confronted him about that.
41:21I did.
41:22I sent him a message.
41:23I know I kind of brought it up the other night, but I'm bringing it up again because it's kind
41:26of weighing on me.
41:27I want you to be happy getting closer to a person you really, really like.
41:31And if this is truly not that, we don't have to do this.
41:35The reasoning he gave didn't feel legitimate.
41:37And we both agreed, like, let's just call it a quid.
41:39I really wish we would have just stayed friends.
41:42He doesn't have the experience of having, like, a girlfriend right in front of him that he has to court
41:47regularly.
41:48You know what I mean?
41:49And I just don't have the energy to teach a 27-year-old man how to do that.
41:54No.
41:55There's nothing wrong with that at all.
41:57Like, you know exactly what you want.
42:00And if you weren't getting exactly what you want, like, you're not trying to waste your time.
42:03You're not trying to waste his time.
42:05And it's not even a one.
42:06It's just a bare minimum, you know?
42:07When you get to know somebody, it's dating.
42:10It's going out and, like, courting properly and, like, being attentive.
42:14And, like, because you want to pay attention to what this person does and how this person is.
42:18I just, I require that kind of attentiveness.
42:22Shay, I mean, you tried.
42:24Yeah, I did.
42:25I really tried.
42:26I stepped up romantically.
42:30I handle situations in a grown manner, in my opinion.
42:33With me dating Coco for these last two, three months, I think it gave me a new perception on what
42:40I want for my future.
42:42It gave me even more of a clear head of what I won't tolerate, what I will put up with,
42:47and what I will accept.
42:49And also what I want going forward.
42:51I think I need to date older.
42:53Someone who's more established.
42:55I want a queen, bro.
42:56I don't want a princess.
42:57Mmm.
42:58That make sense?
42:59Like, I want my girl to have her own.
43:01I want my girl to be established with her career and what she wants in life, knows what she wants
43:06and how she wants to go about it.
43:08Like, a real woman.
43:11Not a girl that's still chasing princess treatment.
43:16All the time.
43:18Damn, sheesh.
43:19That's really a lot, fam.
43:21Granted, see how you feel, bro.
43:22Shit.
43:23It didn't really work out.
43:25I think for now it's single, Chris, all 26.
43:28On your time?
43:29On my time.
43:30What I want to do, where I want to go.
43:31Okay.
43:32Leaving the seatbelt open.
43:33Riding dirty.
43:35Yes.
43:36Enough about me, honey.
43:38What?
43:38Y'all peep this off lunch.
43:41Oz, what do you mean?
43:42Girl, she talking about Austin child.
43:45Oh, boy.
43:47You know, seeing Austin post his relationship with the girl that he had told me,
43:54he wasn't going in that direction with.
43:57It was kind of a shock.
43:59But at the same time, no, it wasn't.
44:01Because I always knew that there was something going on.
44:04He just kind of made me feel like I was crazy.
44:07And it's like...
44:09Clearly I wasn't.
44:10Clearly she wasn't.
44:12I didn't imagine.
44:13I really just want Austin to be happy.
44:15And if this makes him happy, then I'm happy for him.
44:18So I don't feel any sort of animosity towards him.
44:21It was just kind of like...
44:25People lost us and that's not our loss.
44:28But we have each other and we found each other through our hearts.
44:32Yeah.
44:33And like, I'm so grateful.
44:35Like, I see you guys at my wedding.
44:36Like, I see you guys going through life experiences with me.
44:39I won't cry. Stop.
44:40But you know what I mean?
44:40Like, you know, it's really special.
44:42Like, and we're so lucky because this is what we wanted through it, you know?
44:45And just because we didn't find it with everyone, how lucky are we to have found it with even just
44:51us?
44:51Oof!
44:52So, don't cry. Don't cry.
44:56That's when I came into the Love Island experience, like, hoping for.
45:02Girl, you know?
45:03Don't make me cry.
45:05And...
45:09Maybe we're silly for having our heart as much as we did, but...
45:13Yeah.
45:14I'm just, I'm glad that, like, at least we have each other.
45:18No matter where you go, you are never alone.
45:37Oh my god, damn.
45:40This is way more work than I expected.
45:44Aww.
45:45My nursing graduation cat.
45:48I'm gonna put this here for now.
45:51Oh my gosh.
45:53To finally be in my own place, my own apartment, my own castle, it feels so free.
46:00And Papa Papaya approves.
46:03I don't like this.
46:04It's like a flower growing out of power shit.
46:09I still can see the look in his face that he doesn't want to let his little papaya go.
46:14But he does approve, and he knows that I'm safe, which is the most important part.
46:19This is crazy.
46:20Like, how much lip gloss a girl needs?
46:25Ah!
46:27I'm Miss Clarkies!
46:30Amaya!
46:31What's up, baby girl?
46:33I miss you.
46:34I miss you more.
46:35I'm at my castle.
46:37And no matter how much I unpack, bro, the boxes just keep coming big.
46:42It's like a bad nightmare.
46:43There's always more.
46:44There's more.
46:47But no, honestly, like I'm really happy that I just finally have a place where I could call home.
46:53Just a place where I feel like I've worked for, you know?
46:58I'm so happy for you.
46:59Oh my God.
47:00Wait, do you want to see?
47:00Do you want to see the apartment?
47:01Did I show you?
47:02Give me a tour.
47:03Okay, let me give you a tour.
47:05This is one of my closets.
47:07We're trying to do a little sign sign.
47:08Period, period.
47:09This is the bathroom.
47:10I'm going to make this into, like, old Hollywood country style.
47:14And I also have a balcony.
47:16You can see the water.
47:17Wait.
47:17Literally, you can see the water from here.
47:19And then that's the city.
47:21Oh my God.
47:23The fact that I'm here, building my home together, it's like, wow.
47:27I can't believe it.
47:28I can't believe it.
47:30I'm just very, very proud of myself.
47:31And I am happy to basically just make that little girl and me smile.
47:36I just also wanted to say thank you.
47:39You were such a great support system on this journey.
47:42It really does mean a lot.
47:43And I really do have a lot of love for you.
47:45Seeing all of my friends do these amazing big things
47:49and accomplish these crazy goals is very motivating.
47:53And I have so many things that I want to accomplish.
47:55Putting myself back into the cheer world, owning multiple businesses,
48:00and just continuing to roll into the best version of myself.
48:05What's tea?
48:06What's next for Amaya Papaya?
48:09Um, I'm just going to continue on following my journey.
48:18I'm so proud of you.
48:20You're doing big things.
48:21And even bigger, it's coming up.
48:24They don't even know Amaya.
48:25When somebody calls your name, you just have to go for it, you know?
48:29Exactly.
48:29It's your passion.
48:30This past year just taught me a lot of resilience and to keep on having faith.
48:35And when life give you lemons, make the fucking lemonade.
48:38I just see Amaya Papaya not stopping.
48:42Men who are gynecologist kind of freak me out.
48:44You know, I got a 97 on my vagina exam.
48:48We didn't get the happy ending on the villa in Fiji, but this ending is better.
48:53Yeah.
48:53This is so cute.
48:54When you meet my girlfriend.
48:55Oh, yes.
48:56TJ.
48:57This is the way it was supposed to be.
48:59And look at us now.
49:00Look at us now.
49:01We made it.
49:02You made it!
49:08What was that?
49:15I never would have thought I could be doing long distance.
49:19I don't think anybody would choose this.
49:23It's strengthened our relationship.
49:25It has made me more hopeful for what the future looks like for us.
49:32It's Christmas, TJ.
49:33It's a Friendsgiving.
49:35My life in a year should have been my life over the span of like six years.
49:40There's so many opportunities that lie ahead.
49:43I want to travel the world, have fun, get married and have babies.
49:48You know, I met somebody yesterday and she told me I'm gluten free.
49:53Fuck is gluten.
49:54My first time in the West Coast was this past summer and now I'm moving here.
49:58It's so crazy.
49:59And this experience, it forced me to change in a lot of ways.
50:01That I needed to change and hearing people like my mom say I changed.
50:09It means a lot.
50:17I'm so glad that I went on this crazy ass show and met you.
50:22And guess what?
50:23We have more crazy ass memories to be more made.
50:26Okay?
50:26So get prepared.
50:27Make sure that buckle seat is buckle up.
50:36Why not bring a white Christmas to L.A.
50:42Good day!
50:45Tomorrow night, a new bomb soon enters the village.
50:48Yeah guys, like I got a few properties.
50:57That was good.
50:58Oh yeah!
51:00Cheers!
51:00Bye!
51:01Bye!
51:01You
