04x27 - Episode 27

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on Love Island USA…

A legend returned.

Hi, boys!

Oh, sh*t.

You were in Vegas, Mackenzie.

-Oh, I knew it.
-She's blonde.

This is Mackenzie from last season.

-[Deb] We need to go.
-[Nadjha] Go. Go. Go. Go.

Are you feeling her?

I mean, I told her
I was open to get to know her.

[narrator] And lines were drawn.

I just want someone who is,
like, down for me, honestly,

who's, like, ride or die
because I do know my worth.

So, did you pretty much
give me an ultimatum last night?

Yeah. I'm over this sh*t.

I'm not doing a triangle.

I'm over the shapes. I just want a line.

You either know
what's in front of you or you don't.

That's not my problem, you know?

[narrator] Tonight…

[Chad] Let's go.

[narrator] The heat is on.

-[Chad] Oh, sh*t.
-Watch that heart rate, y'all.

[narrator] And on.

And on.

"Islanders, tonight
there will be a recoupling.

The boys will pick and the girl not chosen
will be dumped from the island.

#TimeIsTicking. #LastCall."

[narrator] Welcome to Love Island USA.

Mackenzie has returned to the villa
with one goal,

to find a love that will
last until the end of time.

Or just until after
the final week on Saturday.

She's romantic but also practical.

So, which boys have you
been having your eye on in here?

-I mean--
-[Zeta] That you're like, "Okay,

I would like to get to know them."

-I think--
-[phone chimes]

-Oh.
-[gasps]

I got a text.

[all cheering]

"Islanders, tonight you will get
each other's hearts racing

-in a Boys vs. Girls challenge.
-[Deb] No!

#ShowUsYourMoves.

#DanceLikeNobodysWatching."

[all cheer]

No.

I can't dance.

This game has been in my nightmares.

You know I can't dance.

You know I'm the whitest bitch here.

It's okay. It's okay.

So, the fact
that we have to do a challenge

where we're getting
people's heart rates up.

Like, I literally have
been dreading this day.

[all cheering]

The only bit I don't want to hear,

is Timmy's heart rate
going up for someone else.

[Jesse cheering]

[Jesse] I guess we're
going to put on a show.

You know, the fellas,
we are a little bit nervous about this.

You know, I don't know
how good our stripper moves are.

But I guess the world
will definitely soon find out.

[narrator] Tonight's challenge
sees the return of Hearts On Fire.

First, the boys will
wear heart rate monitors,

while the girls do sexy dances.

Then the boys will do sexy dances,
while I go and put the kettle on.

The million-dollar question is
who will set pulses racing the most?

[Isaiah] Let's all breathe together.

Phoebe will put on a f*cking show.

I know Nadjha will be crazy nice.

Oh, here they coming.

[exaggerated exhaling]

[Jeff] Let's go!

Oh, sh*t.

-[cheering]
-[Jesse] Go. Go. Go, go. Go, Z.

[cheering continues]

[whistles]

[Timmy] Watch that heart rate, y'all.

[Jesse] Woo!

[Zeta] I just kept locking eyes with him.

And it was so sexy.

[all cheering]

The blood has definitely compiled
in a different, you know, location.

Oh, sh*t. Look at that.

[Timmy] Other than the arteries
and the heart.

It was a lot. It was a lot.

[cheering]

Zeta's lit, bro.

Most fun thing you can ever do
is have a bunch of boys

lined up watching you…

[cheering continues]

…give a show.

I'm buzzing, get me back out.

-[Jeff] Work it out, Zeta.
-[Jesse] You did good sh*t, Zeta.

[Timmy] Zeta may be a nurse,

but I'm gonna need a doctor
after that one, I swear to God.

-Wow.
-Wow.

[sighs]

Deborah.

Woo!

Yee-haw.

Yeah, Deborah.

[Deb] My g*n.

Hold my rope. Timmy.

"My g*n!"

[all laughing]

[Deb] I don't know what I did.
I blacked out.

I tried my best to dance.
I don't know how to dance.

I channeled my inner Texas ho.

You're doing good. k*lling it.

Oh, sh*t.

[Jesse] Yeah, seeing her walk out there

with that cowboy hat on,
you know, it was real sexy.

She made me want to do
some things to her, man, honestly.

God bless America.

And I'm sorry, Mom and Dad.
And my brother. Like, oh.

Pow. Woo-hoo.

That was entertaining, man.

-That was actually really good.
-That was funny as f*ck.

[Chad] Oh, my God.

-Deborah funny as hell, bro.
-What's next?

Oh.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah, Mackenzie!

Whoa.

[Mackenzie] I gave it my best.

I mean, I got my own heart rate up.

I'm looking around, like, bro, like--

"What the f*ck?" Like…

They really brought their sh*t today.

[Isaiah] g*dd*mn,
how can life get better?

Having a girl f*cking plop on your lap.

Woo!

-That was cute.
-That's so hard. That was hard.

[Jeff] They are doing a good job, man.

Ready, baby.

-Oh.
-Courtney.

Barbarian.

-Oh.
-Yeah, Courtney.

Ow ow!

[Deb] Yes, Courtney!

I'm playing to win.

I'm trying to make
everybody's hearts explode.

[Deb cheering]

[Timmy] Sheesh!
She working with something.

Like, she doing--
she doing what she can do,

she's being resourceful, I like that.

[Deb and Zeta shouting]

-[Zeta] Okay.
-Wow.

Wow.

[Joel] Man, I really hope my heart rate
isn't going too sky high.

I don't want to hurt
any of my guys over here.

-Yes. Courtney.
-Courtney.

Uh, I liked that a lot.

I'm not going to lie. [laughs]

Oh, sh*t.

[all cheering]

[cheering continues]

[Jeff] Yes, baby. Yes, baby.

Her ass is looking cute.

Oh, sh*t.

Nadjha, man. That's my baby.

She f*cking looked good.

[cheering continues]

[Jeff] She did her thing, man. A++.

She the most beautiful girl
I laid eyes on, bro.

You k*lled it!

Mmm. Mmm, my baby.

I'm blessed, man. I'm a blessed man.

-[Timmy] Hey.
-[Joel] Oh, sh*t.

f*ck it up, baby.

[Zeta and Deb cheering]

[Jesse] Oh, sh*t.

Sydney looks sexy as f*ck.

f*ck, strut your sh*t, bitch. Here we go.

I'm the sexiest kitten ever. So, meow.

[laughs]

[Zeta] Yeah.

[Isaiah] Sydney did
her thangy thang to me.

That thang was thangy. So-- Hey.

[cheering]

[Deb] Get it, yeah.

Where am I? Heaven?

Jesus, is that you?

Hey, way to go, baby.

[all cheering]

Oh, my God.

Whoa.

[exhales]

I need God.

[Deb] Oh, my--

Holy sh*t.

I'm gonna go bury myself.

I'm no longer an angel, like--

I'm, like, your sweet dream

and beautiful nightmare at the same time.

Oh, sh*t.

[Zeta] She likes Isaiah.

[Deb] Oh, my God,
she put a finger in her mouth.

[squeals]

What?

I was in a little bit of a triangle there
with Courtney and Chad.

But I still want to
show Chad my little spicy side

and make him forget
about Courtney for a little bit.

[Deb] Oh, my God.

Somehow, the angel's even more dark
and twisted than the devil.

So, I like these angels.

Yeah!

[narrator] Welcome back to
Love Island USA.

The girls are finished
strutting their stuff,

and now it's the boys' turn.

They will perform several dance styles.

Although sadly,
there won't be any ballroom.

Their shorts are just too tight.

At first I thought
he might have been a baby.

But I guess he was a captain.

[Zeta] Uncle Jesse.

Jesse!

Okay, Jesse.

[Zeta] Uncle Jesse!

He might be the captain of the Titanic
because he's going down.

Trying to make everybody's heart race,
but I only got eyes for you, Deborah.

[all cheering]

Whoa.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Aye, mateys!

[shouts]

-Where's me gold?
-I don't know.

Yeah, Chad!

What is this-- this is not stripper.

I just love a guy that makes me laugh.

[Deb laughing]

Aw, Chad.

Chad definitely blew my mind.

[all cheering]

I love that sh*t.

We got the sailor and the pirate.

-[Jesse] Yeah.
-Woo-hoo!

[cheering]

-Yeah!
-Yeah, Zay!

[Zeta] Hey.

He looked too fine
when he did the worm and dropped it low.

I knew he was going to pull
some magic sh*t out of his hat.

[shouts]

Pilot Isaiah, I definitely would not
let him fly my plane after that.

-Yeah!
-Woo!

[Isaiah] Targeting Sydney, my girl.

I was definitely
trying to get her heart racing

like some turbulence,
you know what I mean?

Yes, Isaiah!

God bless America, Zay.

[Deb] Good job!

I think I just watched a p*rn.

I hope it's Jeff.

I knew it.

[cheering]

Yeah, Jeffe!

-I heard there's a fire.
-[laughs]

There's a fire over here,
please come let it out.

Hello, sir.

I think I wanna have your baby.

Somebody call the fire department.

Oh, my God. Oh sh*t, he's already here.

If I got a TV rating on Nadjha tonight,
I definitely was a triple-X.

[all cheering]

-Yes, sir!
-Woo!

-He's hot.
-Set me on fire.

[Nadjha] He's so hot.

[cheering]

Oh, sh*t!

Yes, get over here, sir.

Oh, okay.

Oh, that is hot.

Oh, oh, wow.

[cheering continues]

-Yeah, Joel! Yeah!
-Yeah!

[Courtney] Yes! Get it!

Kissing Phoebe was good, you know,
I think I definitely took her by surprise.

Holy sh*t. Mmm. I had a really good time.

Go, go, go, go, go!

He done a really good job, didn't he?

-[Sydney] Yeah.
-That sword move was epic.

[g*n clicks]

[cheering]

He's a joker. I can't cope.

[cheering continues]

[Timmy] I may be a sexy lumberjack.

I'm not going to argue with that.

But I only got wood for Zeta.

Woo!

[Courtney] Yes, Timmy.

Lumberjacks have never
been my thing, but, um…

I think I'm a lumberjack girl now.

-Yeah, Swerve.
-Yeah, Swerve.

[narrator] The Hearts On Fire
challenge is over

and college students
across America have finally learned

how to use the rewind function.

Time to find out
which girl set pulses racing.

Jesse, the girl who raised
your heart rate the most was…

Sydney.

[all] Ooh.

Chad, the girl who raised
your heart rate the most was…

-Phoebe.
-[all] Oh.

[Joel] Interesting.

[narrator] Isaiah's heart rate
was raised the most by Sydney.

Jeff, the girl who raised
your heart rate the most was…

Mackenzie.

[all] Oh.

Joel, the girl who raised
your heart rate the most was…

-Courtney.
-[all] Ooh.

[narrator] And Timmy's heart rate
was raised the most by Zeta.

The girls definitely enjoyed
seeing gladiator Joel's Bulgeous Maximus

and lumberjack Timmy's impressive wood.

But which boy set
those pulses racing most?

Zeta's heart rate was
raised the most by Timmy.

Deb's heart rate was
raised the most by Jesse.

Sydney's heart rate
was raised the most by Isaiah.

Phoebe, the boy
who raised your heart rate the most

was Timmy.

[all] Oh.

Nadjha, the boy
who raised your heart rate the most…

was Isaiah.

[laughing]

Mackenzie, the boy
who raised your heart rate the most…

is Chad.

[all clapping]

Courtney, the boy
who raised your heart rate the most…

was Joel.

[chattering]

Congrats, y'all!

[narrator] So Heart's On Fire is over
and the winners are the boys.

And fans of cut-priced Village People
tribute acts across America.

-Amazing.
-You all would make really bad strippers.

[narrator] Hit us up on the socials

and use the #LoveIslandUSA
to join the convo.

And indulge your obsession
with the Love Island USA app.

You can vote, see exclusive previews
and sample the hottest tea.

Plus, get your mitts on a load of merch.

I bought 27 personalized water bottles.

One for each of my children.

Get involved, America.

Welcome back to Love Island USA.

Cheerleader Mackenzie
got Jeff's heart racing

more than Nadjha's demon dance.

I thought Nadjha's was way sexier.

But hey, I'm just
playing devil's advocate.

-You're welcome.
-[Nadjha] What'd you think?

About what?

[muffled]

She didn't even touch me, bro.

Do you want to get to know Mackenzie?

I don't really want to ruin that
with you or anybody else, so--

If she pulled me for a chat,
I'm gonna just tell her, like,

"I'm in a good place with Nadjha."

I'm definitely not fazed by Mackenzie.

I'm Team Nadjha, man.

I told her, man. I'm just 100% about her.

And you know,
I'm going to shut that sh*t down.

And I expect her to do the same
if somebody came in.

You know what I mean, so…

I just really, really do like you a lot.

There is really, like,
not anybody that could come in here,

that could make me feel
the way that you've made me feel.

Don't nobody ever make me feel
the way you make me feel, for real.

I think, like, every day I'm here

I just, like, kinda fall
more and more, like, for him.

So of course,
I don't want him to go anywhere.

[narrator] Ladies and gentlemen,
Love Island USA is proud to present

the single most ridiculous question
in the history of television.

Zeta, take it away.

How do you feel about Chad getting Phoebe?

-[Courtney] I mean, I don't blame him.
-[both laugh]

-She looked hot as f*ck. Yeah.
-[Zeta] She did.

Did it make you feel any type of way?

[gargles]

I don't know.

I feel like he…

isn't ready for, like,
what I'm ready for, too.

Yeah.

I'm just trying to navigate
Chad and I because,

like, I feel like he's having
a little bit of a hard time.

So, if he decides to be,
like, exclusive with me,

then I would wanna, like, pursue that.

There's just these signs that I'm seeing
that he can't handle me.

That he's chatting with Phoebe.

Oh, f*ck!

I think she's just not getting
the same energy

that she's putting into it with Chad.

So it's hard to see her have,

you know, a bit
of a tougher journey in here.

Who was yours raised by, Joel?

[Courtney] Yeah, Joel and I
ranked each other.

Did he-- did-- did you feel like…
when you seen him?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

[Chad] Yeah, you did a very good job.

I got your heart racing?

You did. I'm not even kidding.
It was just hot as f*ck.

Mm-hmm. Thanks.

I can't deny that.

-Like, I have attraction towards you and--
-Mm-hmm.

Like, I feel like we do
have, like, a natural connection--

-Yeah, we do.
-When we talk and sh*t.

Just because of me
and Courtney's situation,

you know, I'm like, moving in with that.

But me and Phoebe,
we understand that, you know,

we do have, like, an attraction.

[Phoebe] How do you feel, though,
with you and Courtney?

[Chad] She's starting to kind of
just, I think understand,

like, I would just be…

present with the experience.

-Does that make sense at all?
-Yeah.

Yeah.

[Phoebe] He is a lovely guy.

We have a connection
and I am ready for, like,

someone to just sweep me
off my feet and just, like,

be my knight in shining armor.

Like, that is something I'm ready for.

I do feel like if you and I had time

we probably would've
been very strong together.

You know, during the challenge,

you know, we all had to come out
of our comfort zone a little bit--

I just knew you had a fetish for redheads.

Oh, my gosh!
Deb, I knew you were gonna say that.

-No, I don't.
-I just knew it.

-It's a fluke, you know?
-[laughs]

It's a f*cking fluke and I'm sorry.

I don't care.

Well, hopefully, uh,
your parents don't see that.

Mr. and Mrs. Chubb, you know?

Yeah. Hopefully they fast forward.

Yeah, hopefully just fast forward that.

You know, I just got
caught in the moment, man.

It was so hot.

[Jesse] Syd had raised
my heart rate the most,

but seeing Deb there with that
cowboy hat on was real sexy, man.

She strutted that thing real good, man.
I'm just like, "Ugh!"

You know, I can't wait
to go cuddle her in bed.

I think the cowgirl look
fits you pretty damn good.

Honestly.

[narrator] With Hearts On Fire
over for another year,

the Islanders can head to bed

and I can get my sexy
nurse's outfit back from Zeta.

-[Chad] Do you hate me?
-[Courtney] Yeah.

-[Chad] Why?
-[Courtney] I'm just kidding.

Why would I hate you?

Y'all, I really like Jeff.

[Zeta] Were you buzzing seeing him today?

Oh, my God! Yes.

-Did you talk to Chad?
-[Phoebe] Chad? Yeah.

And this is not me, like,
throwing myself a pity party.

It's like, I've been through so much.

Why would I wanna be a second?
I'm not a second option girl!

[Deb] How did Chad and Phoebe's chat go?

I mean, it sucks 'cause
she's after my man, but whatever.

[Sydney] It's still so weird
that she's back.

I was just happy 'cause she's like,
"I'm not into Isaiah."

I was like, "Whoo! That's a first."

I'm gonna keep this.

-[Chad] Do you hate me?
-[Courtney] Yeah.

-[Chad] Really?
-[Courtney] Yeah.

-[Chad] Why?
-[Courtney] I'm just kidding.

[Sydney] I didn't really sleep last night.

-[Isaiah] Yeah. I know.
-[Sydney] f*ck that day bed.

I'll be sleeping like a queen in here.

Good night.

[speaking quietly]

[Deb speaking quietly]

[Deb] You're crazy.

[Isaiah] Holy f*cking guacamole, bro.

Come in.

[shivering]

[narrator] Bunking up right now are

Deb and Jesse,

Jeff and Nadjha,

Zeta and Timmy,

Courtney and Chad,

Phoebe,

new old girl Mackenzie,

Joel,

Sydney

and Isaiah.

Welcome back to Love Island USA.

As ever, the Islanders are
waking up to the bloody racket

made by the army of drones
I have filming stuff for me to talk over

when we come back from the ad breaks.

-[Chad] Good morning.
-[Courtney] Morning.

I'm like super blind.

-You're like super blind?
-Yeah.

You poor thing.

What meal do you usually make?

[Joel] I have four eggs sunny side up
in the morning

-and I do that with a tilt.
-[Mackenzie] With a tilt?

-Yeah.
-What does that mean?

Things I Like Together.

[Mackenzie] Oh! An acronym.

[Joel] Yeah.

-[Joel] Straight into the pool.
-[Deb] Good way to wake up.

Whoo!

I know, this is
a move though, that I know--

That is a crazy move.

Come on, I'm just coming out, bro,
it's gonna get on your shirt, bro, bro.

Get it on my shirt.

-Come on.
-Get off my shirt.

You're a f*cking dickhead, bro.

[Deb] My butt is jiggling
way more than usual.

-Yes. You have the--
-It still look firm as f*ck.

[Deb] Thanks.

Oh, you look so pretty in this.

I know it does.

Courtney?

[Courtney giggles]

Courtney, Courtney, Courtney…

-What's wrong?
-After talking to Chad, like, about

being exclusive and stuff,
like, it feels really forced.

It's like, "Ugh, God!" Like,
I just feel like I'm not being, like, my--

The best version of myself with him

and, like, that's not
what should be happening.

You're feeling slightly-- not insecure,
but like insecure in the relationship--

-Yeah.
-Because he is,

I think, insecure in the relationship.

Like I think he knows what he has

and I think he doesn't
know how to handle that…

-Yeah, I think so too.
-…and he doesn't know

how to handle his emotions.

I don't know. Like, I do wanna see,
like, what he says, maybe.

-I don't know, you know?
-Who knows?

And maybe this might be, like,
a little wake-up call for him

and he might realize, like, "Wait, f*ck!

-"I might've--"
-[Zeta] But do you know?

It's just so funny
when that boy figures out

how big of a bag he fumbled.

-Yeah.
-Imagine fumbling Courtney.

-Oh, my gosh!
-I would hate my life.

That ain't nice, is it?

It really would be so sad.

I would need years of therapy.

[Nadjha] Literally.

-[Zeta] Years of therapy.
-I'd have to move countries.

Thanks.

-Thank you.
-I'm right here, babe.

Yeah. You are right here.

[laughing]

You got this. I'm proud of you.

I just felt like
we were on different pages

because, like, he told me
he was interested in

getting to know Mackenzie and Phoebe.

So, I wanna go find Chad
and get on the same page finally.

Should I come back?

-I was right here.
-Are you sure?

-I'm like, "Uh!"
-I was just finishing.

-It's my last two breaths.
-Okay.

[Courtney] Your dance
yesterday was so funny.

-[Chad] Did you like my sword action?
-Yeah.

[Chad] I'm so tired.

[Courtney giggles awkwardly] Um…

So, um…

I just feel like we are…

um…

I don't know how to do this
not awkwardly, honestly.

-[Chad] Yeah.
-I'm very awkward.

Strange situation.

-Mm-hmm.
-It's so hard. Like.

-Yeah.
-sh*t's weird.

How are you feeling about us?

I just feel like
we are on different pages…

as much…

as I don't wanna be.

Maybe, like, a little bit.

[Courtney] Pull yourself together,

but I don't wanna, like, stop you
getting to know other people.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

[Courtney] So, what should we do?

Obviously, I don't want
to be f*cking friend-zoned,

but I'm now, like, open to seeing
where something could go with a girl.

Like, I'll have another
conversation with Mackenzie

to just get to know her.

-Get it.
-Does that make sense?

Yeah, I'm not mad at you.

She's a bad bitch.

[Chad] She is a bad bitch.

Yeah, I don't think you are mad anymore.

I'm just-- I was just being a d*ck.

Yeah.

I think it's just too--
maybe too early for him

to, like, want the same things as me.

I need him to go
hurt people that aren't me

so I wanna keep things open
moving forward.

Me and Courtney, you know, we'll be open
to getting to know other people, but also…

understanding that, you know,
we do still, like, like each other.

So I'm glad that she's open

with being, like,
more chill about the situation.

[narrator] Welcome back to
Love Island USA.

Sit your ass down.

What the f*ck happened?

[Chad] Nothing, we actually
finally got some f*cking--

-Clarity?
-Clarity on some sh*t.

-Yeah.
-Talk-- let's talk about it.

[Chad] You know how
she was just pretty much,

just wanted me to give, like,
full-on, like, exclusivity.

[Jesse] Mm-hmm.

Now, it's like, we can like, be open.

You know, we still understand
that we like each other,

but still like,
you know, give other people--

-[Jeff] Right. Okay.
-Like time of the day.

[Chad] Without having someone watching you

and, like, wondering, like, "Oh, my God,

am I hurting someone's feelings,
am I doing this?"

And I can probably now be
a little bit more immersed

and open to just
the overall experience to just be free.

So, that's good.

[Courtney] Joel, do you wanna
go for a chat?

[Joel] Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.

[Courtney] Okay.

[narrator] Courtney's having
a chat with Joel.

Oh, don't blame her.

That man is so sexy, even the tree
can't keep his hands off him.

[Courtney] I wanna get to know you more.

-Yeah? Okay.
-Mm-hmm.

'Cause I feel like
we are looking for, like,

-similar, like, things in our partners.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I definitely…

want something long-term.

-You know, I'm--
-Me too.

I'm dating for marriage
and I really want to--

to find, you know,
my future wife and, you know,

hopefully I can find that here.

What exactly
do you look for in your partner?

Like someone who's like,
also, like, really driven

and, like, passionate to just, like,

do better and, like,
you know, go somewhere in life.

Yeah, well, I think
I check a lot of those boxes.

Yeah.

Joel's obviously, like, really hot.

I like that he has
his sh*t together like I do,

and that he's looking
for something serious.

I don't know if I'm ready for marriage,

but I am looking for something serious.

Would you be open for long distance?

Like, I have my house
in Massachusetts, that's--

that's where my shop is
that I work at, you know?

And so I would hope
that my partner one day

would also wanna move out there with me.

So, I don't know if you'd be open
to living in Massachusetts.

I've never been there, so I'm not sure.

I don't know.

How do you like the cold?

-Oh!
-Mm!

[Courtney] Yeah. I don't know.

[Joel] I really like Courtney.
I think she's super cool.

But, we're still trying
to feel each other out

and I don't know if
that spark is gonna grow or not,

but I'm certainly willing to explore
and give it a sh*t.

I mean, I am a space heater,
but, you know,

that's only when I'm there,
that you can use me as a heater.

-Okay. Fine.
-[both laugh]

Um, I didn't even get to tell you.
I freaking loved your routine.

You liked it? That's hot.

Obviously you got my heart racing.
I was like, that to me is sexier

than, like, a guy who's, like,
trying to be really sexy.

Like, trying to actually like,
put his balls in everybody's face--

-[Mackenzie] Yeah.
-And yeah.

-[laughs]
-Well, I'm glad you found that attractive.

-Like, I need the goofball.
-[Chad] Yeah.

Like I'm a goofball as well, like.

But, yeah, how was your chat
with Courtney this morning?

She kinda wanted more,
like, all or nothing with that.

Like, it's either exclusivity or like,

just don't even look at me
in a romantic way.

Yeah.

Sometimes, you just know right away
that you're just not gonna be--

-[Chad] Yeah. Yeah.
-Compatible with somebody.

No, I understand that for sure.

[Mackenzie] I only have an interest
in Chad right now.

I enjoy being around him.

So, the fact that he's even open
to getting to know me, I think says a lot.

So, we'll see where it goes.

I feel like you're definitely someone

who can just go
and like not worry about like,

"Oh, do I look sexy or not?"

And just like, actually just
"Do I have a good ass time?" You know?

-[Mackenzie] Yeah.
-Which is dope.

-That's very dope.
-Thank you.

[Chad] I definitely enjoyed Mackenzie
and everything.

There's definitely, like,
a strong attraction

and connection there.

But, you know, what made me never, like,

go too strong on that was Courtney.

So, I don't really know.
I might be in a pickle here.

I got, like, some good rest last night.

I feel like I didn't sleep
like that long, but I slept hard.

Which one would you rather do?
Hard or long?

[laughs]

-Nice.
-I did not mean it like that.

Nice. I'm just kidding.
Definitely kidding.

[narrator] After chatting with Courtney,

there's something Joel
wants to get off his chest.

That stubble's
gonna take at least three hours

and a vat of wax, mate.

You should have done it
before you got here, silly.

[Joel] I'm just trying to, you know,
figure things out right now.

-Yeah.
-[Joel] Um… [laughs]

So, I had like, one conversation
with Courtney.

I mean, it-- it was really good and, like,

I was really surprised by her answers.

Like, she's, you know,
like, way more, like, adventurous

and outgoing than-- than I expected.

[Isaiah] Than you think. Yeah.

She definitely gives down girl vibes, so.

[Joel] Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

But, you know,
I still have to talk to Phoebe.

She was, you know,
my number two behind Bella.

Phoebe, you know,
we shared a little kiss last night

during the-- during the dance.

You know,
I definitely think there could be

a spark there, a connection there.

Definitely, I just wanna,
like, chat with her and

just see if I can't figure that out
and figure out what I'm feeling.

Um, and then same thing with Court.

You are in a f*cking triple pickle.

Yeah.

So you're just
between Phoebe and Court now.

Yeah, for sure.

[narrator] At the end of another eventful
day, Courtney wishes she had a loyal man,

Phoebe wishes she had more options

and Timmy wishes he had a basketball.

-[Joel] Hey, trash man. Trash.
-Here, buddy.

Especially with Zeta on that hip? Oof!

-I will shake you, bro.
-Bro.

Chad, has your name always been Chad?

-Unfortunately.
-[Jesse laughs]

-Chad sucks.
-[all laugh]

[Mackenzie] I'll mostly just talk to Chad.

I made it pretty clear
I'm only really interested in

seeing where that connection goes.

Are you gonna talk to Joel
more, you think, tonight, Court?

Yeah.

That looks good, Deb.

[Courtney] Yeah, I love that.

Jeff suck too, bro. I ain't gon' cap.

What the f*ck is a Jeff?

Hopefully, I'm better
at toasts than strip teases.

Here's to a good time, not a long time.

[all] Cheers!

[phone chimes]

I have a text!

[all cheering]

I'm scared.

"Islanders, tonight there will be
a recoupling.

The boys will pick and the girl not chosen

will be dumped from the island.

#TimeIsTicking. #LastCall."

[Courtney] All right,
want to go for a chat?

[Chad] All right.

-[Timmy] Zeta--
-How are you feeling?

I'm feeling fine.

[narrator] Welcome back to
Love Island USA.

The Islanders have just learned about
tonight's surprise recoupling.

The boys will pick
and one girl will be dumped.

Phoebe's prepared a half-hour presentation
on why she should stay,

but unfortunately, she's only got
five minutes to deliver it.

Phoebe, go, go, go!

You're very similar to me
in the way that like,

I'm like a slow burner.

I don't, like, just like form, like, a--

Spark and want to date, like right away.

I like to have that, like,
forming the relationship

and just seeing like, where it can grow.

Do you have any Chapstick on you,
by any chance?

No, you wanna kiss?

That would be nice, huh?

This recoupling tonight is huge.

It will show me if someone
really wants to pursue me.

I want to find a connection,

but I may not be here after tonight.

I feel like it could go so many ways.

We don't know where
Chad's head is at, or Joel.

Yeah. I'm, like, falling for Nadjha.

-She likes you a lot.
-She likes you a lot.

-Does she?
-[Deb] Mm-hmm.

Joel is just a wild card right now.

I just feel like we can, like,
have a nice connection together.

-Yeah. I feel that.
-I don't know if you feel the same.

Yeah.
You know, I'm-- I'm really just trying to

feel things out
and figure things out for myself--

Yeah. Me too.

You're, like, a really
amazing person, you know?

So are you! Obviously I haven't
gotten to know you, like, too much

but I wanna start if you're down.

-[Joel] Yeah.
-[Courtney] I'm nervous.

I haven't had what
I've wanted out of a connection.

I do wanna stay here.

I just know that whatever's
meant to happen will happen.

Obviously, I have
a crucial decision to make.

'Cause I think that I am
just anxious to get to know you.

I know that I wanna get
to know you, specifically, better.

I don't know that, like,
if you were to choose Phoebe,

that if new guys came in, that,
you know, that she'd pick you over them.

I am confident that I probably would.

Next night, it's a recoupling.

Like 24 hours later.

Like, I had a conversation with Chad.

I put it out there, but it's like,
you can't really be, like, having fun

getting to know someone
when, like, on the night of recoupling

it's so tense. Like--

We've come a long way in six days.

I'm more than happy…

that my heart led me to you, Syd.

Obviously, things move
very, very f*cking quickly here.

Yeah.

I'm definitely interested.

f*ck! No pressure on me tonight.

I'm really trying to, like,
see where my heart feels on

as far as, like,
what I want to pursue further.

I've done all the talking
that I need to do

and had all the conversations
I need to have.

I have a pretty good feeling
of who I'm gonna go with

and I'm feeling ready
for my first recoupling.

Just weighing out my options and,

you know, just seeing,
you know, what's up with it and…

seeing how I'm gonna,
you know, go about everything.

sh*t is definitely,
you know, hitting the fan.

I know for you, you had a tough day.

But this is a big decision.

And, you know, I have some pressure on me.

Like, I definitely enjoyed Mackenzie
and everything.

And Phoebe, obviously,
me and her connect quite well,

but I feel, like, more of a pull
towards Courtney.

What we have is stronger.

I'm not too sure
who I'm gonna couple up with.

[narrator] Next time, on Love Island…

one girl's search for love…

comes to an end.
