[narrator] Warning:[/i]
The following program contains love, lust,[/i]
and a disinfected rooftop
we're calling an island.
[upbeat pop music plays]
[woman] Ah, fresh air.
It feels so good to escape
and hit the open road.
This year, they told me
to head to Vegas for a big surprise.
Britney, Mariah, J-Lo,
you better watch out,
'cause this showgirl is hitting the Strip.
[narrator] Arielle, love you,[/i]
love your work,[/i]
but I don't think you read
the entire e-mail.
[brakes screech]
Say what?
[narrator] This year,[/i]
Love Island is taking over Vegas.[/i]
So I'm not the new headliner?
[narrator] Uh, no.[/i]
Okay. [scoffs]
I better head to Vegas
and get myself a costume change.
["Deep Down Love"
by Beds and Beats playing]
[narrator] For the next six weeks,[/i]
our sexy singles[/i]
will be gambling on love
in Sin City.
They're leaving lockdown
to lock down love.
And all they've packed are swimsuits
the size of your face mask.
♪ Desire[/i] ♪
And with your vote,
you'll help decide
what does and doesn't stay in Vegas.
♪ Some deep down love[/i] ♪
Most importantly,
you'll decide which couple wins
the $100,000 prize.
Our new batch of Islanders--
yes, we're still calling them that--
are ready.
All we need now is our always punctual,
always composed host, Arielle Vandenberg.
Ow!
I just need a minute. Roll the titles!
[theme song playing]
[narrator] Well, it's been a year,[/i]
and what a doozy.[/i]
This is the new high-altitude
Love Island [/i]villa [/i]at Drai's Beachclub…
where our hopeful hotties will live large
until they fail the test of love
or the test we jam up their nostrils.
More of a jam and twirl.
The villa will host our stunning singles
as they couple up, hook up,
break up and make up seven nights a week.
So, as long as you're not too hung up
on the definition of the word "island,"
this is gonna be a lot of fun.
Let's meet the girls!
Whoo-hoo!
Oh, this is crazy.
Love Island[/i], here I come!
[screaming, giggling]
Oh, my God!
You're so beautiful!
[screams] I'm Cely. What's your name?
-I'm Moira. Nice to meet you.
-Oh, my God, you're so gorgeous.
-This is crazy!
-[both] Oh, my God.
Oh, the heart! That's so cute!
Oh, my God!
-[Moira] This is stunning.
-[Cely] We live here.
Welcome to Love Island[/i], baby.
Whoo-hoo!
There's the alcohol! [giggles]
-Wait, let's pop this thing.
-Yeah.
-Whoo! Yes.
-Whoo!
-Oh, my God, this is crazy. Cheers.
-Cheers.
To the rest of our time at the villa.
Ah, the lights. [laughs]
This is amazing.
Does it look better with me in it?
[laughs] I bet.
I'm Cely. I'm 24 years old.
I'm a spicy Latina from Sacramento…
[speaks Spanish]
[laughs]
So, I work a nine-to-five job
and things can get boring
around the office,
so I definitely like
to spice it up a little bit.
I go in with, like, cheetah prints,
off-the-shoulders.
And HR is like, "No, honey,
you are not wearing that in this office."
In my relationships, like,
I tend to be, like, the more dominant one.
I like to wear the pants, basically.
I've been single for, like, two years now,
and I feel like this is my time
to meet someone,
to put me in the center of their world.
Someone who loves Cely
as much as Cely loves Cely.
Like, that's what I need.
And this is where
I'm gonna meet my boyfriend.
And then this is where
we're gonna work out.
This is the perfect location, I feel like.
God. I just realized, look at our view.
-[both gasp]
-[Moira] Caesars Palace, baby.
What about you, though?
Like, what's your type?
Yeah, I like someone who's, like,
a little bit, like, younger, maybe.
[laughs] Cougar. I'm kidding.
-Hundred percent.
-I'm kidding. I love that. I love that.
Yeah, and, like, sweet, and, like,
just good at conversation
and, like, nice and stuff.
-And, of course, they have to be hot.
-Always. Always, baby.
This is like my heart right now.
So big, so full, so ready…
to find love. [chuckles]
I'm Moira, I'm 28 years old,
I'm a shopping channel model,
and I'm from New Jersey.
I've had one boyfriend
for a really long time.
That was, like, eight years.
He was my first everything,
but you're gonna wanna hear that they're,
like, willing to commit and marry you.
So I made up my mind and decided
to just be single-single Moira.
I'm always crazy, but I have been
boy crazy since my breakup.
Like a kid in a candy shop.
When a hot guy approaches me,
I literally can't contain myself.
I'm like, "You're hot. Let's make out."
"Let's get each other's number.
Let's have kids."
"Where do you wanna live?"
I am so ready.
Let's do this.
I'm so excited to meet all the guys.
I can't wait. Oh, my gosh.
Do you want a relationship?
You want, like--
-I definitely wanna find that connection.
-Yeah.
-[screaming]
-Oh, my gosh. Hot tub.
You look so good! Green is your color.
Girl, thank you.
-How are you?
-Hi.
-Beautiful. What's your name?
-Justine.
-Nice to meet you.
-I can't breathe. This is wild.
I'm so excited. This is so pretty.
-I know.
-Welcome to Love Island[/i]!
Mom and Dad, sorry about everything
you're about to find out about me.
Still love you!
I'm Justine, I'm 27,
and I'm a billing coordinator
from Rockaway, New Jersey.
But on the weekends,
I work as a go-go dancer
at nightclubs and stuff.
Most people assume it's kind of like
hands-on, like, stripping,
but I really am just like eye candy,
showing off my moves.
They can look, but they can't touch.
My parents definitely are not aware
of my weekend job.
My dad is very old-school
and very strict, but it pays the bills.
I look for somebody not afraid to commit.
Show me that your mom raised you right.
Where are the respectful guys?
I have a finance degree,
so I have the brains.
I'm also, like, this wild side to me.
So I feel like I'm just the full package.
Why wouldn't they pick me?
You know what I mean?
[chuckles]
Are you so excited to, like,
meet the guys?
That's all I can ever talk about.
Same. And it's, like,
with the whole quarantine thing,
I haven't seen a guy in so long.
Yeah, it's been a while
since I've been touched by a man.
Literally. Somebody would walk past me,
I smell their cologne, and I'm like, "Oh!"
-"I'm triggered."
-Yeah, exactly.
[all scream]
-You look so good.
-Literally stunning.
-I am so excited to meet you guys.
-I'm Cely.
Your eyes are so pretty.
-I saw you a little bit there--
-What's your name?
Um, I'm Kaitlynn.
I'm Kaitlynn, I'm 27 years old,
and I'm originally from Lapeer, Michigan.
Try and find that on a map. [chuckles]
I mean, I might look like this…
but there's also that part of me
that equally loves to not wear makeup.
Build stuff, DIY, mud bogging.
I'm from the country, okay?
[giggles]
I definitely do see myself
with a little bit of a country boy.
A man that runs a farm.
Semi-buff, but I could also do
a little dad bod-ish.
I've actually been single for seven years.
It's been a long time since
I've been surrounded by testosterone.
And I just, like, want someone
to touch me. [chuckles]
I'm not asking for too much.
I've just been asking the wrong person.
You know?
Do you guys have tattoos at all?
-I have one.
-I love tattoo pain.
Oh, my God. What?
I have one on the inside of my lip.
It says "psycho."
[laughing]
Awesome. Love that.
-Hey.
-[women] Hi. Oh, my God.
-I'm Cely. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi. Moira.
-Nice to meet you.
-What was your name again?
-Mackenzie.
Mackenzie. Oh, that's pretty.
So, what's your type?
I'm really sarcastic,
so I need a guy who's sarcastic.
Pick up on that and not be like--
-Sense of humor matters.
-Yeah, a hundred percent.
I'm Mackenzie, and I just turned 24.
I'm from Arizona,
and I'm a full-time student.
Most of the guys I've dated in the past
couple years have been millionaires.
They happened to be millionaires.
I didn't seek that out.
I've been on yachts,
I've been on private jets.
But money doesn't really matter to me.
What I'm looking for is someone
who wants to watch the big game,
throw back some beers, eat some pizza.
I'm genuinely looking for that.
A lot of guys are afraid to approach me.
They see the blonde hair, the big boobs,
and they're like, "Oh, this girl's
gonna be another dumb blonde joke."
People wanna judge this book by its cover,
but I'm gonna walk in and be like,
"You gotta read the first chapter,
get to know me. I'm here to find love."
All right, cheers, girls.
[all] To Love Island[/i]!
[whooping]
[narrator] After air kissing[/i]
and half-hugging[/i]
until they smell like a fusion
of each other's scented body lotion,
the traditional Love Island[/i]
greeting ceremony is complete.
Now, here's our host, Arielle Vandenberg.
-Hey, ladies.
-[all] Hi!
Make room. I'm coming in hot.
Welcome to Love Island[/i]!
[all cheering]
-[women exclaiming]
-Oh, my God!
-Yeah!
-It's so hot.
I want this outfit after you're done.
Thank you.
Hello. Welcome. How are you guys feeling?
-Excited.
-Yeah? Oh, my gosh. So, by now,
you guys have all been
in quarantine for weeks,
COVID tested multiple times,
and you guys are all finally ready
to jump into the safe waters
of Love Island[/i].
[all] Yes!
I wanna know everything. Spill the tea.
I wanna hear the hot goss.
I wanna hear about you, you,
you and you. Tell me everything.
-Moira, I'm gonna start with you.
-Okay.
How you feeling today? Are you so excited?
Oh, my-- It's actually so surreal.
The villa is bigger
than I thought it would be.
There's, like, so many spots
to make out at.
-[all laugh]
-That's what I was saying.
Mackenzie, what are you looking for
here on Love Island[/i]?
I have not met a boy in over a year.
I'm at the point in my life, I'm really
in the best position for a relationship
that I've ever been in,
so hopefully I meet somebody.
Yeah. It's funny, though,
'cause I came here looking for
a perfect, respectable guy
who's good to me.
And then I was invested
in this book before coming in,
and it's this bad boy, and I'm like,
"Oh, Lord Jesus,
please don't put me in that head space."
So now I'm not even sure
what I'm looking for.
Really? Is anyone looking for tats here?
-Me.
-I knew it was gonna be you. I knew it!
-Give me tats.
-Yeah, what are you into?
What's your perfect guy?
I'm into kind of more rugged guys.
Kind of like a Zayn Malik type feel.
Tattoos…
-Love a Zayn Malik.
-Not all put together. Mh-hm-mm.
Cely, I'm over to you, girl.
What you looking for here in the villa?
Maybe a guy that's my blood type
in case I ever need an organ.
-No, I'm kidding.
-[all laugh]
No, but I love me a good pretty boy,
someone who can definitely
keep up with all my energy,
but someone who can sit back
and watch me just shine a little bit.
-I love that.
-That's good. That's awesome.
Well, you all look stunning,
and the guys are so lucky,
let me tell you that.
-So, you ready to meet them?
-[all] Yes!
All right. Let's go.
Let's get this party started.
So, you guys are now about to couple up
for the very first time.
One by one,
the guys are gonna enter the villa,
and I'm gonna ask you to step forward
if you're attracted to them.
Let me introduce you to Jeremiah.
[all cheer]
-Wow.
-Okay.
Hey!
Okay. The energy, I dig it.
Okay. Okay. I see you.
I ain't in Mississippi no more. Okay.
My name is Jeremiah. I'm 22,
from a small town in Mississippi,
and I'm a sales associate.
My mom raised me to be
a pretty upfront-type guy.
Just good quality, you know.
So I feel like I bring
good qualities to the table.
Being from a small town, dating-wise,
everybody had been with everybody.
You see the same people all the time.
It was hard to just branch off
and try to find someone.
I feel the person you're dating
should be your best friend.
If I throw a joke at you,
you gonna throw one back.
Have a good personality,
good sense of humor.
I like 'em with a little booty on 'em.
Now, one thing I will say:
I love a girl who can cook.
She has to be able to cook.
That's where I come from.
We throw down in the South.
[chuckles]
That's it. That's what I'm looking for.
-Hi, Jeremiah.
-How you doing?
-Are you having the best day ever?
-Like a kid in a candy store.
I got these beautiful women
in front of me.
-It's hot. Even hotter now.
-[all giggle]
So, Love Island [/i]is all about
finding your perfect match,
and it all starts right here
with a very important decision
about who you would like
to couple up with.
Jeremiah, I'm gonna make this easy on you.
I'm actually gonna ask the ladies
to step forward
if they're attracted to you.
So, ladies,
if Jeremiah has your heart beating
out of your chest,
please step forward.
[narrator] Welcome back to [/i]Love Island.[/i]
It's the very first coupling-up ceremony,
and it's a big moment
for a small-town guy.
Any interested girls
will now step forward for Jeremiah.
Or they won't,
and he'll feel his feelings.
Ladies, if Jeremiah has your heart
beating out of your chest,
please step forward.
Ladies, look at the bod, the face.
[woman giggles]
Hey! Here we go.
Yeah! Why do you think
it took you so long to step forward?
I don't know. Nerves.
[Arielle] Cely, what's going on?
Why didn't you step forward?
He's gorgeous,
and I definitely got butterflies,
but I'm waiting to feel the whole zoo,
you know what I mean?
[Arielle] Okay, that's fair, that's fair.
So, Jeremiah,
Justine stepped forward for you.
But you actually have your pick
of any of the ladies.
So, who do you wanna couple up with?
-No pressure.
-[all laugh]
I think I'ma couple up with…
lovely lady in pink.
Oh! Jeremiah and Cely! Whoo!
-[woman] Yay.
-[applauding]
Let's get it, boy.
-Hi.
-How you doing?
Ooh. That's nice.
Cely, you didn't step forward,
but you got Jeremiah.
-How are you feeling?
-I'm excited.
He's literally so beautiful,
so this is great.
So we have our first Love Island [/i]couple:
Jeremiah and Cely.
-Congratulations.
-[all applauding]
So, Justine, how are you feeling?
Um, it's all good.
There's more boys coming.
That's the right attitude.
Okay, girls, time for another one.
Please say hello to James.
[women cheering, applauding]
How's it going, everybody? What's up?
-Hello.
-Hello.
[James] Whoa. This is crazy.
I'm James. I'm 27. I'm a personal trainer,
and I live in Orlando, Florida.
Three brothers. I'm the youngest.
there's four boys.
So I kind of grew up seeing
the dating life at a young age.
They kind of molded me
into who I am today.
I'm pretty fun. Energy's top-notch.
You know, hard to keep me contained.
I love tattoos. I got my alien right here.
Hello. What's up? [laughs]
But I would never get a girl's name
tattooed on my body. Never.
Even if I love you forever, can't do it.
I don't think a name-- It's tacky.
I think I can be clingy
if I like you a lot.
That's why I have to find someone
who can cling with me back.
I want a koala bear next to me.
My game is very flirty.
I'm excited, I'm ready to go.
I've been in lockdown
it seems like for five years,
so I'm gonna go in
and literally just Superman it, just--
[chuckles]
Well, take a look at these hotties.
Yeah. Beautiful.
So, as you can see,
we already have one couple,
Jeremiah and Cely.
But, honestly,
you can pick whoever you want,
even if they're in a couple.
So,
if James is your type,
please step forward.
So, Mackenzie. No?
-Why didn't you step forward?
-Tattoos.
They're great.
It's just, it's not my style. I'm sorry.
Yeah. Clean-cut, yeah.
And Kaitlynn, you said you like tattoos.
You lied to me?
I do. I'm just--
I did not lie, but I'm waiting.
Okay. Moira, why didn't you step forward?
He's cute, but I guess I'm being patient.
What do you hope
is coming out of that tunnel?
-More of, like, an instant connection.
-Okay. I like that.
-So, James…
-Yeah.
…who would you like to couple up with?
Um, I'm looking at red.
I think I-- Yeah, you.
-That's Moira.
-I know you want to be patient,
but the instant connection,
I feel like I have it now with you.
-Oh! So cute!
-We'll see. I can-- I'll grow on you.
-Okay, come here.
-Yeah. All right. Awesome.
Yay! Congratulations.
[all applaud]
What's up, big boy?
-Give me a hug. What's up?
-Nothing.
-How's it going?
-Good.
All right, so we have our second couple,
James and Moira.
Congratulations.
All right,
are you ready to meet our next boy?
-[women] Yes.
-Please welcome Tre.
[cheering, applauding]
[laughing]
He's got a lot of muscle.
[giggling]
You are ready,
and you brought the abs to the party.
Look at these ladies, man.
I'm Tre. I'm 25,
and I'm a personal trainer
from South Beach.
I like to see myself as a total package.
Nice smile, worked hard for my body.
I used to play college football.
I was a baller.
Playing football definitely
helped me out with the ladies.
I didn't necessarily have to try.
People most likely label me as a player,
and they're correct.
I used to do some things
that I'm not proud of.
But it takes time to grow up, man,
and I told myself
that the next girl that I'm with,
I'm gonna make sure I'm all in
so I don't have to worry about that.
To be honest,
I'm not worried about the other guys,
but when I see the girls,
it's gonna be like a dog on a leash.
I've been on a leash all this time,
and then once I see them,
like, they finally let me off the leash
and let me go into my natural habitat.
So, Tre,
what's it like being out of quarantine?
Everything locked down,
but, I mean, it's like, this is my club.
This is my bar,
so I'm gonna make the most of all of this.
All right. So, we already have
two lovely couples:
Cely and Jeremiah
and James and Moira.
So, ladies, if you like the looks of Tre,
please step forward.
Come on, ladies. [laughs]
Look at this beautiful man.
Kaitlynn, is he not your type?
I love your teeth
and your energy,
but I'm not sure if you're my type or not.
-What about you, Mackenzie?
-Talking about the club a lot,
and I'm a homebody, so I just don't know
if our energies would match, but--
He also has those, like, dangerous eyes.
Like, they're really flirty.
Well, Love Island's[/i] kinda dangerous, so…
All right, Tre,
you can choose any of the ladies,
even if they're coupled up.
It's your decision.
Well, they're all gorgeous, for sure.
But, yeah, I am gonna stir the pot early.
[girls] Whoo!
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, boy.
Please, do not…
[soft music playing]
[narrator] It's [/i]Love Island,[/i]
where the first coupling-up ceremony
is underway.
Before the break, the girls were served up
a boy buffet for their plates.
Sadly, no one wanted the Tre.
But the handsome rejectee now gets
to choose whichever girl he wants.
All right, Tre,
you can choose any of the ladies,
even if they're coupled up.
It's your decision.
Well, they're all gorgeous, for sure.
But, yeah, I am gonna stir the pot early.
[girls] Whoo!
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, boy.
And I'm gonna pick right here.
Cely! Oh, my God.
That means that Jeremiah
is our first person on the subs bench.
All right, bro.
And, Tre, you can head on over to Cely.
-Hi. I'm Cely.
-Hey, what's up?
-Nice to meet you.
-Tre.
Nice to meet you.
-Things are heating up.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We have a new couple now.
-Cely and Tre. Congratulations.
-[all applaud]
How are you feeling, Cely?
You got picked twice.
I know. It's a shocking turn of events.
But it does feel good to be picked,
obviously.
And he's super cute, so…
Tre, what attracted you to Cely?
Well, besides the obvious fact
that she's attractive…
I feel kind of bad
that I had to take her away from somebody.
But no hard feelings. Nothing personal.
All right.
So, Jeremiah, Tre has stole your girl,
and you are on the subs bench
until all the other guys are coupled up.
It got me on the back burner a bit.
All good, though.
All right. Girls, this could be the one.
It's time to meet Connor.
[applauding, cheering]
-[Arielle] Hello.
-Well, hello. What's going on?
Whoa. It's crazy. What?
Can I cross my legs, like that? All right.
-Do I have to say hi, or, like-- Okay.
-[woman] No.
I'm Connor, I'm 23 years old,
I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
and I'm an auditor in public accounting.
I love structure and order.
Huge numbers guy.
I have all these Excel sheets
on budgets and everything like that.
Auditing can be sexy if you want it to be.
Use those numbers to get those numbers.
I feel like I don't have a whole lot
of game, to be honest with you.
I've kind of always struggled
in the dating world,
trying to pick up girls.
It doesn't come natural to me.
Girls kind of make me nervous sometimes.
[laughs]
Yeah, I would say
I'm willing to do anything to up my game
with trying to get comfortable with
talking to girls and dating in general.
I guess the best part
about being on Love Island[/i]
is that I don't have to try
and get a girl's number.
That's part of the equation
that I'm not very good at.
Now I can just toss that to the side
and work on actually getting to know them.
Welcome to Love Island[/i].
Connor. How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling pretty excited.
I don't think I've ever been surrounded
by this many beautiful people
in my life, so…
Connor, let me bring you up to speed.
We have two lovely couples:
Cely and Tre.
Moira and James.
We also have one lovely fella
over here on the subs bench.
And we have three lovely single ladies:
Justine, Kaitlynn and Mackenzie.
But none of that matters for you,
because you can couple up
with any of the girls,
even if they're in a couple.
So, I'm gonna make this really easy
on you, and I'm gonna ask the ladies,
if you're attracted to Connor,
please step forward.
[cheering, applauding]
She did it!
-I did it.
-All right, Mackenzie.
First time she's stepped forward.
Why did you step forward for Connor?
He's cute. He's got a good smile.
I don't typically do facial hair,
but his looks good.
And, Kaitlynn,
why didn't you step forward?
It looks like you shave your whole body.
-This is true.
-And I'm not--
-I like my guys hairy.
-[all laugh]
But you're very handsome.
-[woman laughs]
-Mackenzie stepped forward for you.
But you can actually take your pick
of any of the ladies.
So, Connor, who would you like
to couple up with?
So, I would love
to couple up with Mackenzie.
-Oh, yay!
-[all applaud]
Congratulations.
We have our third Love Island [/i]couple.
You can go and join Mackenzie.
Hello, Connor.
-Can I give you a hug?
-Yeah, of course.
So, Connor, what made you pick Mackenzie?
I think she has super pretty hair,
and she has a really cute smile.
Mackenzie, how's that chest?
Nice and smooth?
Oh, yeah, super smooth.
-Kaitlynn, what are you hoping for?
-I don't know, but I'm ready.
What about you, Justine?
A Greek god or something. I don't know.
All right, ladies,
well, let's hope this one's for you.
Please welcome Carrington.
-Let's go, baby!
-Yeah.
Where them girls at?
One out of ten, I'm 20 out of ten.
No more being humble.
[laughs]
My name's Carrington. I'm 23 years old,
I'm from Salt Lake City,
and I'm a brand development manager.
Last year, I brought in
about $4 million in sales for my company,
so for 23 years old,
you can say I'm successful.
I have a lot to offer to a woman.
I'm sexy, I have a great job,
I take care of myself, I look good.
I'm the life of the party,
so whether we're going out, staying in,
we're gonna have a great time.
My perfect girl's a baddy.
She's probably 5'6", 5'7",
tanned, blonde hair.
I'm at 200% right now.
I'm just excited to get in there
to meet some sexy-ass girls.
I would definitely say I'm an alpha.
At the end of the day,
I get what I want, and I do what I want.
All right, Carrington,
welcome to Love Island[/i].
-Thank you.
-How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling good.
The girls look super hot.
Guys look like studs.
I think we'll have a good summer.
Love it. All right, so you are standing
in front of three lovely couples,
two single ladies,
and one hottie on the subs bench.
But none of that really matters for you
because you can couple up
with any of the ladies,
even if they're in a couple.
So, I'm gonna make this super, super,
super easy on you,
and I'm gonna ask the ladies,
if you're attracted to Carrington,
please step forward.
-I'll step forward. Yeah.
-[cheering, applauding]
-Okay. Why did you step forward?
-Well, you look a little young,
but I do think
that you're very handsome, so…
Yeah, young, but pretty mature
for my age, so, I mean…
We'll see how it goes,
you know what I mean?
See if I can show you.
And, Justine, why didn't you step forward?
Um, I like facial hair,
and he does look really young.
Well, Carrington,
you can pick any of the ladies,
even if they're coupled up already.
So, Carrington,
who would you like to couple up with?
-Right there, pink bikini.
-Kaitlynn. Nice.
-[all applaud]
-Come on over, baby.
-Carrington, man.
-Yo.
What's up?
-How's it going?
-Nice to meet ya. I'm Connor, man.
Do you spell it with a K or a C?
-With a C.
-Oh.
I like you got all your bro shakes
out of the way first.
-Yeah, you gotta.
-Nice to meet you.
-Oh, yeah.
-There you go.
So, Carrington, why did you pick Kaitlynn?
I think she is super hot.
A personality is a big thing with me,
so, I mean,
I gotta get to know her a little bit,
but she's hot
and she stepped forward, so…
-I have a great personality.
-Best bet.
Nice. All right.
Well, my single lady.
Jeremiah is single, Justine is single.
That automatically makes you
our last couple.
Go ahead and join Justine.
[all applaud]
-Hey.
-Hey.
All right, Justine,
you stepped forward for Jeremiah,
and now you're with him.
-How are you feeling?
-Ah, this is so awkward.
I don't know. We'll see. We'll talk.
-We'll talk, we'll talk.
-Jeremiah, how are you feeling?
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling good.
We're gonna see how it goes.
All right, so we have five couples:
So the choices you've made today
could impact how long
you stay in the villa.
You'll now spend time
getting to know each other,
taking on challenges together,
living together,
and even sharing a bed together.
But this is Love Island[/i],
so you never know
who's gonna walk through that door.
And on that note,
please let me introduce you to Johnny.
[narrator] This is [/i]Love Island
from atop The Cromwell, Las Vegas,[/i]
where five couples have partnered up.
We have:
This is Love Island[/i], so you never know
who's gonna walk through that door.
-And on that note…
-Oh, my God.
…please let me introduce you to Johnny.
Oh, my-- All this for me?
What's up, ladies? I'm Johnny.
I'm 22 years old, I'm from Virginia,
and I'm coming to Love Island[/i]
to find my one.
I've been running track for, like,
ten years now.
I've always been in shape.
Girls love that about me.
I grew up with three sisters, and I feel
like just growing up around women,
I learned to understand them, like,
to a deeper level.
Knowing the way
I want my sisters to be treated,
that's how I wanna treat a girl.
And honestly, I treat girls like queens.
I'm all about the bro code,
but when it comes to a girl that I want,
if you're not treating her right,
I'm going to.
I like to think I'm rare, you know?
You can't just find a Johnny anywhere.
[laughs]
This is Johnny.
Welcome to Love Island[/i].
-What's up, y'all? Fellas.
-What do you think of our lovely ladies?
Beautiful. All you guys are beautiful.
Boys, you're looking a little nervous.
Carrington, feeling a little threatened?
Absolutely. Everybody here
is competition at the end of the day.
Well, boys, you should be
a little nervous, because
Johnny, in the next 24 hours, will be
coupling up with one of your girls,
leaving one of you single and vulnerable.
And remember, to stay on Love Island[/i],
you have to be in a couple.
Guys, I'm gonna leave you all
to get to know each other.
But remember, in the next six weeks,
the public will be voting
for their favorite couple,
and that couple could win $100,000.
[cheering, applauding]
So, remember, what happens in Vegas,
everybody's watching.
Bye for now. Bye, guys.
[all] Bye.
-What's your name?
-Tre, bro.
-I'm Johnny. Nice to meet you, man.
-Nice to meet you.
[narrator] After standing together[/i]
in six inches of water[/i]
for close to 18 minutes,
these couples are practically unbreakable.
Unless this TV show is Love Island[/i].
It is? They're not unbreakable at all!
I know!
The coupling-up ceremony is complete.
Now, like a team
of half-naked archaeologists,
the Islanders check out their new digs.
-Oh! Are you serious?
-My God.
Let me close this door, man.
How y'all feeling about your women?
-They look good, bro.
-You the only one!
Oh, my God.
Here… Spill the tea.
Who wants to go first? Who's in love?
Me. I'm gonna, like, word vomit
if I don't go now.
I'm like, let me go, let me go.
-[Kaitlynn] Tre.
-[Cely] So sweet.
So, are you happy he, like, snuck in?
I was really sad
when Jeremiah got taken from me.
I was like, "No! Please come back."
-That was the worst.
-[Cely] How are you feeling?
I'm feeling him in, like,
a friendship way.
-You are?
-[Justine] Yeah.
[Jeremiah] I'ma be real, though.
Justine, she cool.
Her personality on point, you know?
-I think his girl has real personality.
-Yeah, yeah.
Wait, so what about you?
-You were super smitten, too, right?
-You were a smitten kitten.
Yeah, I think he's so cute.
How does it feel to be with your guy?
What did you think?
I'm really happy.
-I was, like--
-[woman] Really?
He was so sweet. But I didn't feel
like he was hitting on me.
It wasn't like, "Baby girl,
let me look into your eyes."
Like, it wasn't like that.
What about you? Yeah.
-Um…
-I feel like you're not feeling it.
-I wanna give everybody a chance.
-Yes, I think that's a good idea.
I'm gonna keep getting to know Carrington.
He's super nice.
I do like his personality a lot.
But I don't know, this situation's
a little bit intimidating.
So I'm just kind of testing
the waters a little bit,
and then I'm gonna pounce.
I think Connor's cuter than Carrington.
-Hands off, lady.
-There's about to be a girl fight.
We all got an opportunity of a lifetime.
Everybody else locked up. We're all here.
We get to walk around freely, no masks.
Talk to girls.
I was gonna ask you.
Do you have a first attraction?
-Am I feeling anyone?
-You know you got somebody in mind.
I got my eye on a few people.
If I pick someone tomorrow,
I think it will be the last night
I'll sleep in the bed solo.
And if that means
I have to step on someone's toes,
then so be it. That's all it is.
-It's day one.
-Yeah.
Would anyone hook up in here?
-No.
-I don't think so.
I made a promise to myself
that I'm not going to.
Actually, I lied.
[laughs] "We'll see how it goes."
As it was coming out of my mouth,
I was like, "I don't even believe that."
Making out, for sure. A lot of making out.
-Like, just do it.
-Yes.
[narrator] Time for the Islanders[/i]
to head outside for one-on-one time.[/i]
Here's Love Island[/i] couple,
and what I presume is an Irish law firm,
Connor and Mackenzie.
-Yeah.
-I'm trying to cool down.
Yeah, it's super hot out.
What are you trying to get into?
I'm a big sports junkie.
-Big sports fan.
-Oh, my God. You're my dream girl.
-You don't have to tell me anything.
-No, I don't.
Don't tell me anything right now.
When's the last time you dated somebody?
Um, so it's been about eight months.
This is freaky.
It's been, like, eight months for me too.
-Really?
-How weird is this?
[narrator] So weird![/i]
It's been eight months[/i]
since it was nine years
since my last relationship.
Spooky!
Our next couple share
an equally unlikely cosmic connection:
They're both sitting on a couch.
Easiest thing you can do is be real.
-Yeah, that's true.
-So, how did you end up here?
Um, I don't know.
I've been single for, like, two years now.
I feel like I'm at the point
where like I've had my fun.
You know what I mean?
I went a little bit crazy.
You honestly sound just like me.
-That's crazy.
-What?
-You sound like me.
-Really? Is that, like,
you're in a similar situation?
Yeah, so I had my fun, like, in college.
-'Cause I was an athlete.
-Mm-hmm.
-And then--
-Okay. Wait, what sport?
What would you guess?
-Football? Yeah?
-That's a good guess.
That's a good guess.
I was a cheerleader,
so I guess I, like, kinda…
You could be my number one fan.
I was cheer captain.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah!
-[laughing]
-"I was cheer captain." Excuse me.
A cheerleader and a football player.
I like that.
-That's cute.
-For sure.
-See, we already destined to win.
-I love that.
Our conversation was, like,
one of the easiest things ever,
and that's what I love about,
being able to, like, talk to someone
and not feeling like anything is forced.
That was a breath of fresh air,
and I was like,
"Okay, Tre, he surprised me a little bit."
Hopefully, they don't snag you up.
[narrator] Welcome back to [/i]Love Island.[/i]
Look, rooftops are islands now.
What are you, a geography major?
Our new couples
have gotten to know each other,
but now they're taking things
to the next level
by putting on clothes!
Do you guys solemnly swear
to ever tell me if I look crazy?
-A hundred percent.
-Which crazy are we talking?
Are we talking strictly looking crazy?
-There's crazy, but also this crazy.
-[woman] Okay.
We're matching.
This is-- I love it, man.
[indistinct chatter]
We all look really good.
[narrator] The couples are out[/i]
of quarantine and ready to mingle,[/i]
along with 11th wheel, single boy Johnny.
Get ready
for the only Fauci-approved party
in the entire universe.
The Islanders toast themselves
with our finest bottle…
of sanitizer.
Kidding. We are kidding.
Don't try this at home.
A toast to all these
beautiful people here.
To have a good time and find love.
[all cheer]
["It's About To Go Down"
by Photronique playing]
[narrator] After figuring out how to dance[/i]
in slow motion with strangers,[/i]
Justine and Jeremiah
seem to be flatlining.
Wait! I hear some beeps.
Oh. That's my microwave. Never mind.
-This is, like, my first drink in months.
-Fix.
-So I'm, like--
-What?
"Will I be okay?"
We gonna see. We gonna make it.
Yeah.
These cups are cute.
I hope when we leave, we get to take them.
Nah, I highly doubt it.
At the moment,
I'm coupled up with Jeremiah.
I'm just getting the sense that right now,
it's like a friendship connection
rather than a romantic one.
I wanna jell with somebody,
and the reason why I came here,
like, where's the romantic connection?
I'm sad.
They click so well.
They do. It's cute.
It's really cute.
And it's funny because, like,
he's really bringing her, like,
out of her shell.
Fix. Fix.
'Cause even when it was just the girls
out here all day,
she was so quiet-- like, so quiet.
Even when we're getting ready and stuff,
she's just so timid.
But he brings her out,
-which is really cute.
-Yeah.
-I feel like you don't really show off.
-Oh, my God. Thank you.
You don't, "Hey, look at me."
You're, like, the realest here.
And that's why I'm excited
that we connected like this.
-Thank you.
-I was actually scared.
I didn't know. 'Cause who knows?
-You don't know.
-You don't even know.
I do like you. I'm not trying to say,
"Hey, you're mine."
-Definitely, you can talk to--
-Well, I have to sleep in your bed.
That's what I'm saying.
But, you know, every--
I can't wait. I'm a cuddler.
Are you? I mean…
-Oh, my gosh!
-Are you?
-I'm the biggest cuddler ever.
-Really?
I'm excited.
When I get hot, I'll roll over.
-When I'm falling asleep…
-Uh-huh, uh-huh. I love this.
-Okay.
-This is a great partnership.
And then, okay, see ya. Yeah.
To have a guy like James, like,
he just is so sweet and so sincere.
He's seriously a dream guy.
-I like your lips.
-Night one.
It's okay. I feel like I already know you.
I know. Well, yeah.
It can't get better.
It really can't get better.
I'm nervous it's gonna get worse,
'cause I just don't know
how I can beat tonight.
It's such a good time.
[narrator] Aw! She's pulling a quarter out[/i]
from behind his ear.[/i]
Oh! Open your cash register.
It seems there might be a buyer for Cely.
I wanted to come over here
and talk to you,
get to know you a little better,
outside of what you're doing with Tre.
I know you guys are hitting it off.
But tell me about yourself.
So, I'm from Sac. I love Sac.
-Sac?
-Sacramento, sorry.
Sacramento? Okay, I'm like, "What's Sac?"
-I'm not a local.
-Yeah, I know. Wait, where you from?
-Virginia.
-Virginia.
-Yeah, like, Virginia Beach.
-Are people-- Sorry.
I've never met anyone from Virginia,
so I'm like, "Are you people even real?"
-Yes. We have talent.
-You guys are all like a simulation.
-What? Virginia?
-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I've never met someone from Virginia.
-Virginia was, like, the first state.
-Wait.
[narrator] Virginia is for lovers,[/i]
and California is for whoever shows up.[/i]
What's your typical type?
Outside of this,
what do you usually go for?
-It's just kinda situational.
-Right. Mm-hmm.
Like, whenever I go out, I see this girl,
she's beautiful to me that night.
We get to know each other, and that's it.
-There's a water delivery!
-Queen!
Yours is coming.
-I was gonna say, I'm getting left out.
-I got the girls.
-I love it when it has my name on it.
-You got mine?
-Appreciation, appreciation.
-Here you go.
What was I saying?
About the girls you're usually into.
You'll see them at the club, and then…
Yeah, I feel like, outside of this,
it's just, like,
you don't really have, like, the…
-[laughing]
-Wait, why is it leaking so much?
-You're making me wet already.
-Oh, man, hey. Slow down, now.
I'm kidding!
Hey, no, I like that, though.
Don't, don't, don't--
I had a pretty good conversation
with Cely, so that was nice.
But I definitely wanna see
where the second conversation goes,
the third conversation.
But right now, I'm not really too sure
who I'm gonna, you know, pick.
It's too up in the air right now.
I gotta--
I gotta start getting to know
the other girls
and getting to know
the ones I talk to more.
I want someone that I can really, like,
stay up with at night and, like,
have a conversation about everything,
you know?
-Are you guys ready?
-Let's do it.
[narrator] What better way to get to know[/i]
a house full of strangers[/i]
than a very G-rated game
we innocently call Suck and Blow?
Or, as they call it in Sweden…
[Swedish accent] [/i]Suck-en Blow-en.
-You play this a lot?
-Girl, don't call me out like that.
Islanders must pass a card
from person to person
using only their mouths.
If the card falls,
the one who dropped it must do a dare.
It's like a fun punishment,
or a "funishment."
So, let's play the only card game in Vegas
where all you can lose is your dignity.
[all laugh]
-[man] Was it you?
-[Tre] "Kiss an Islander
that's not your partner that you
would like to get to know better."
[squeals]
[all cheer]
[man] All right, Tre.
[Justine] We're pros on this side.
Blow, bro. Blow!
What the hell?
"Kiss an Islander from one ear,
along the neck, to the other ear."
-You want me to do that to you?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Yeah!
-[screaming]
-[woman] Oh, my God.
She's, like, having a moment.
That kiss was so hot.
I got so goose-bumpy.
I'm still a little bit, like,
blushy about it.
"Kiss the person to your right."
[cheering]
[cheering]
-[squealing]
-Oh, my God.
[indistinct chatter]
[cheering]
"The group must choose the hottest
boy and girl, and they must kiss."
-Wait, are we settled on the--
-Randomly, say it. Connor.
Are we going around
and saying who the hottest boy is?
-My answer's already obvious.
-Aw.
-So, why don't y'all just kiss?
-Yes!
[cheering]
[man] Hit it, baby!
-[man] There you go.
-[all exclaiming]
Wait, who's Kaitlynn with?
Carrington.
-I know she does.
-She seemed cool. Like, she--
if I were to talk to one person,
she would be the first one I'd talk to.
Do it. Don't wait till tomorrow.
At the end of the day,
you have to choose somebody.
Whether it's my girl, her,
or somebody else's girl.
You gonna have to pull her
and try and talk to her.
It's now or never.
Hey, you wanna come talk to me real quick?
Yeah, let's go where it's not hot.
I need to check out
some of the extra seating.
James, you're k*lling it, bro.
-So, how are you doing?
-I'm doing good.
I'm kinda in that situation
where I gotta meet everybody
and kinda just figure out
where my mind's at.
Nice because you get
your pick of the litter.
Yeah, and I picked you.
I wanted to get to know you better.
-Yeah.
-See what you're about.
'Cause I think you're cool.
You're beautiful.
-Well, thank you. You needed--
-But--
I sound so corny for saying this, but
your eyes are actually really beautiful.
I'm just saying, you know,
your mascara's popping.
I've heard they pierce
into people's souls.
-Are they green and blue? Just green?
-They change colors.
Sometimes they're blue.
Sometimes they're green.
Sometimes they're, like, gray
when it rains outside.
-So you're like a mood ring.
-Yeah.
-Wow.
-I'm gonna get comfortable.
-Go ahead.
-My feet are all sweaty.
-I'm enjoying this conversation.
-Um, me too.
There are definitely a couple of guys
that I am interested in.
-What's up, what's up?
-Hello. Do you want to join us? Yeah.
-Can I, uh, talk to you?
-Yeah.
-Let's roll.
-I'll be back.
[narrator] Upset to see Johnny[/i]
sweating all over his girl, Kaitlynn,[/i]
Carrington steps in,
determined to sweat all over her himself.
So, what's up? How's it going?
-Good. I just, uh--
-How's your day been?
'Cause it's been a little stressful, yeah?
I've been way anxious, and yeah--
-And I never really get nervous, but--
-You don't?
No, I really don't.
I pride myself on that, but today,
walking out here, I was literally, like,
what do I do?
-Mm-hmm.
-But you stepped forward,
and I think that-- that shows a lot.
And, uh, I want you to talk to everybody
and get to know them because
-you could have a connection with anybody.
-Yeah.
But I just wanna tell you, like,
I really do find you attractive,
and I do wanna get to know you.
And I just feel like
I had to pull you aside and say that
instead of just kind of seeing you there
all night talk to Johnny.
-Which he should--
-Are you jealous?
Yeah, I was a little jealous,
I'll be honest. I get jealous.
I probably put too much work into getting
to know the guys instead of you.
And that's just gonna change
going forward,
so I just want you to know
that I am interested,
and I hope you're willing
to get to know me this week.
-For sure.
-Yeah. For sure.
You look great in that.
Oh, thank you. I was going
for that fierce red look. You know?
Yeah.
But you do have
a little bit of red on your lips.
Oh, do I?
I was not surprised by the kiss.
It was nice.
He has amazing lips. He's a good kisser.
I would definitely kiss him again, maybe.
Actually, I shouldn't commit to that yet,
because I'm not sure.
[narrator] First night in the villa,[/i]
and Islanders with perfect bodies
drink wine on rooftops,
proving my trainer and therapist
totally wrong.
Now, Cely's partner, Tre,
decides to "Tre" his luck
with Carrington's girl, Kaitlynn.
"Tre in-Tre-sting."
-Make yourself cozy.
-[sighs]
-How's your night been?
-It's been good.
-Where are you from?
-From Michigan.
-Michigan?
-Yeah. Where are you from again?
-Ohio.
-Wait, you're from Ohio.
So, we're, like, supposed to be rivals.
Yes. I went to Ohio State.
Played football.
-Oh, nice. You're young, 23?
-Twenty-five.
I'm 27. I had to think for a second.
I'm like, "How old am I?"
[laughs]
-Wait, when's your birthday?
-June 7.
-So that makes you, what, a Gemini?
-How'd you know?
Did you hear me talking from the distance?
-I didn't.
-What are you?
I'm a Sagittarius.
Sagittarius and Geminis,
they get along really well.
-Whoa!
-Yeah, 'cause we're kind of similar
in some senses, yeah.
-Okay. All right, question. For you.
-Okay. Ask me whatever you want.
-Why don't you have a man?
-Well--
-Obviously, you're attractive.
-Mm-hmm.
-[laughs]
-I just wanna know. Just wanna know.
I don't deal with liars.
As soon as you lie to me,
I don't trust you.
-Can I ask you a serious question?
-Go for it.
Is my upper lip sweating?
-No? It's not?
-Let me see.
[gentle music playing]
Well, don't take my makeup off.
-I'm not trying to.
-You need to dab. Mm.
I think it's all gone.
-You have nice lips.
-So do you.
Thank you.
Me and Tre actually had a little
kiss-kiss, a little make-out,
and I don't know how Carrington
would feel about it,
but I feel like
he would get a little bit jealous.
I don't know. [giggles]
But I'm not gonna hold you up.
I know you got other people to talk to.
-Mm-hmm.
-We're gonna talk more.
We're gonna have our conversations,
and let's just see where it goes.
Okay.
Hmm. Who is a better kisser?
I feel like they're tied.
Give me a hug. You're so sweet.
-To be continued.
-Yeah.
[narrator] I'm getting déjà vu[/i]
with this "Kiss Me, Kate" routine.[/i]
Anywhoozle,
couple Connor and Mackenzie's first kiss
was in the game.
But can they get intimate
without a team of producers to help them?
How would that even work?
I just wanted to check in.
Can I, like, say something? Before…
Uh…
-Like, before I kissed you--
-What?
I, like-- I didn't wanna mess it up.
Yeah.
'Cause I haven't kissed a girl…
-In a while?
-…in a very long time.
I'm a little bummed. I was hoping
our first kiss would be, like…
-That's what I'm saying--
-…more romantic.
Yeah, maybe we'll have a do-over.
I'm hoping we can have a-- a more…
-Like, a more proper one.
-…special and proper one.
-Yeah.
-Whenever that time comes.
I'd like to think
that I'm kind of old-fashioned,
um, even with something
as simple as a first kiss.
I want to try and have
a first kiss with Mackenzie
that is a little bit more special
than just having it
in a Suck and Blow card game.
I think I'm the type of guy
that girls don't want.
-Why? Why would you say that?
-Because in my mind,
I think girls want
a type A, super outgoing,
-confident, outspoken guy…
-No. No.
…who can walk into a room
and know he can pick up any girl.
No. [groans] Gross.
I feel like your personality
doesn't match your looks.
Really? Okay.
That's an interesting thing. Okay.
-No one's ever said that to you?
-I've never heard that.
-There's so much more to you.
-Thank you for that. That's a huge--
-That's what I deal with all the time.
-Yeah.
-So, here's a question.
-Yeah.
Do you think you have been given
a fair shot?
No.
'Cause I just feel like either to treat me
like a trophy and be, like--
'Cause I'm definitely that girl--
Scottsdale's a small town,
and I was definitely that girl
that no guy could get.
I'm fine with being alone.
And so it's like
you really had to catch my attention.
And so everybody there was, like,
"Who is she with?
I don't see her with anybody."
'Cause I'm very private.
I think they think
I'm gonna be very shallow,
and I think they think
I'm just gonna be very simple.
And it's like,
I need so much more than that,
and there's so much more to me,
that they're like,
"Okay, I need to return this item.
This is not what I ordered."
And then they just never commit to me,
and I'm, like,
-"Why did you waste my time, bro?"
-Yeah.
[Connor] I think
Mackenzie is way out of my league,
so I definitely have some butterflies
in my stomach talking to her.
Um, but she makes me feel
very comfortable,
and it's so easy to be myself around her
and just feel like I don't really
have to be anyone other than myself.
And that's what I think
I like the most about her.
Did you have any good chats tonight?
Who did you end up talking with?
[sighs]
It's stupid to get upset about it, like,
day one, you know?
It's not stupid. It's not.
Yeah.
Let it out. Trust me.
It's, like, nice to see everyone
with that connection, but, like--
I'm looking for what Moira and James have.
They clicked right away,
and that's what I want.
Like, where's the romantic connection?
I'm sad.
It's fine.
Love Island is betraying me.[/i]
All day I'm like,
"I came here for that," you know?
Yeah, I get it.
-[sighs]
-It's intimidating.
Like, everyone is being very guarded.
Unless you're in a couple with someone
that you're, you know, feeling,
I think everyone is feeling insecure
and is like, "Oh, I don't wanna show
my cards too much,
and I don't wanna…"
And that's okay.
I honestly think that guys
are just intimidated by you.
[exasperated sigh] It's day one.
I shouldn't be frustrated.
This is bound to happen. It's Love Island[/i].
But I can't handle it.
How is there not a connection?
There's, like, six guys here.
There's not a connection
with one of them romantically.
But hopefully more guys come in here,
because this ain't it.
This is not it.
I can't go back home single again!
[sighs]
Thanks for the girl talk.
Anytime.
Please do not hesitate to pull me aside.
[narrator] Every time[/i]
a go-go dancer cries,[/i]
a bouncer gets its wings.
Time now for the Islanders
to go to bed and snuggle up
with someone they literally met today.
-Mh-hmm.
-You wanna kiss me good night?
-Yeah. In a second.
-Huh? In a second?
-Are you showering in those?
-Heck, no.
Alright.
I'm ready to do it.
I'm gonna do it. We're cool.
-Yeah.
-Just don't grab me.
-[both laugh]
-I know it looks good with it though.
-You have a good day?
-Oh, my God, that was crazy.
You think it was a good day?
I'm tired. Are you tired? Yeah.
Don't cross the line, please.
Okay, I said--
I'm the one that drew the line.
-Well, hey, I'm a believer in it as well.
-What?
I'm a believer in it as well.
I believe in the line.
Well, then, stay over there, my friend.
[both giggle]
Good night, Love Island[/i]. Good night.
[narrator] Johnny's got[/i]
a big decision to make tomorrow.[/i]
He'll have to count a lot of abs
before he falls asleep.
[narrator] Good morning, Vegas.[/i]
Our couples are:
Friend zone.
And single guy, Johnny.
Are you a morning person?
Something like that.
[moans]
When I'm, like, holding your hand,
and I'll, like, be rubbing your hand,
-and then I'll give it two squeezes.
-You're a very sweet guy.
And then you squeeze back.
Oh, that makes my heart melt.
[giggling]
I feel so lonely and just like…
out of the loop.
But you're in the loop.
You're-- You're the loop.
-Hey.
-What are you talking about? [chuckles]
My day was interesting.
-I like Carrington.
-Mm-hmm.
But I don't feel the…
[whispers]
"I really, really like him" yet.
What about--
Your convo with Tre looked good too.
-He actually kissed me.
-[gasps]
-Did you see him make out with me?
-[both] No.
Yeah, I haven't said anything to Cely.
I haven't brought it up.
But we had a small-- very small--
make-out session.
He's a good kisser. He's just not my type.
-Yeah.
-Do you feel like you wanna tell her?
-Oh, for sure.
-Yeah, I would tell her, for sure.
Yeah, definitely.
Tre pulled a little make-out session
on me last night.
And I'm not mad about it.
He's a great kisser.
However, I feel like I could see him
being more of, like,
a big brother to me a little bit.
Yeah, so, not really any interest there,
I don't think.
I don't even know
how he laid that on me, to be honest.
It kind of came out of nowhere, so…
I would be upset,
but everybody's different.
Well, I mean, I'm a grown-ass woman.
I'll definitely say something to her.
It's not like I was trying to hide it.
-No. We don't think you are.
-We're saying for her to know that.
-I have good judgment.
-No, I'm more annoyed with him,
because she definitely thinks
he's, like, dope.
Don't wanna throw him under the bus
too much right away. But who knows?
He could have his player ways in him,
and he's like,
"I'm trying to make out
with all these chicks."
He needs to know how the kissing is.
-He just is like, "I need to know."
-Mm-hmm.
-Where have you been, girl?
-Getting ready.
-I wanted to chat with you for a second.
-Yeah. Yeah.
'Cause I just think that you should know,
not that it's like a big deal,
but when Tre pulled me last night,
we had like a really good talk
and everything like that.
But he kind of pulled, like,
the make-out sesh with me for a second.
-Oh, the game? Yeah.
-Yeah. Like, he kissed--
No. When we were talking. He kissed me
and made out with me a little bit.
-Uh-huh.
-And I just wanted you to know.
-I'm not interested in him…
-Yeah.
…at all, but I felt like…
-I thought you should know.
-Yeah, thanks for telling me.
We had a conversation last night,
and he was like,
"I'm always gonna keep it
100% real with you." Blah, blah.
And I was like, "You know what?
I'm gonna do that for you too."
That's really good
that you guys had that conversation too.
-'Cause I feel like everyone should.
-Yeah, good. Same page.
Thank you so much for telling me.
But, yeah.
Of course.
[Cely] Tre surprised me.
I have no idea where his head's at
with Kaitlynn, so…
Oh, God, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
This is crazy.
-I'm gonna go out there and sit.
-Sounds good.
-I'll see you when you come out.
-Gotcha.
[narrator] Johnny's big decision[/i]
is looming.[/i]
Let's see if Mackenzie's advice
can help Johnny be good.
So how's this whole thing going for you?
I think it's pretty good.
I'm enjoying myself.
-You feeling Connor?
-Yeah, I think so.
Yeah? Well, I just wanted
to get to know you a little bit.
'Cause I kind of have
a pretty difficult decision to make.
I just feel like you've got girls
who are, like, really open to it.
-I would try…
-To get to know me?
-Yeah.
-Do you have any inside scoop?
Yeah. I mean,
I think you've pretty much got your pick.
-I think that--
-You're not giving me much information.
Who are you feeling? Who's your top two?
Right now, based off
the conversations from yesterday,
-I'm hovering over Cely and Kaitlynn.
-Mm-hmm.
And it's hard, 'cause obviously
me and the guys are hitting it off.
And me and Tre talked about it.
And he's into Cely too.
And he doesn't really have eyes
for anyone else.
[Mackenzie] Tre did, though,
kiss Kaitlynn last night. I mean…
-He had to kiss somebody else.
-No, he kissed her privately.
-Whoa.
-Yeah. Sorry, I didn't…
-It's "spill the tea" up here.
-Okay.
Hold up. Tre didn't tell me that.
Okay. All right, Tre.
I think that everyone is kind of like
feeling out their partners,
but I do think that
you're on everyone's mind.
That's why it's a weird perspective
for me. I'm coming in here,
and I see you guys all linked up,
you know?
I'm freaking out. [chuckles]
I wanna get to know all of 'em,
so I'm making the right decision
for me and them.
I want a girl that's happy to be with me.
Especially not from the beginning,
I don't want someone that's annoyed
that they're with me.
No. I wanna talk to them and know,
you know,
that if I pick them,
they will be happy with it
and ready to explore what we have.
I hope I can come to a decision where
it best suits my needs and everything,
and I'm actually making a decision, like,
for the future.
I've gotta break somebody's heart. So…
[narrator] Welcome back to[/i] Love Island.[/i]
Johnny's big decision is looming,
and Carrington does the adult thing
when feeling threatened:
He throws a pool toy.
-[screaming]
-Catch the ball.
[narrator] Whoa. Johnny's like,[/i]
"I'll take your girl
and [/i]treat you like my labradoodle."
Jump higher. No, but how are
you feeling about your situation?
-My situation?
-Mm-hmm.
After thinking about it,
I just don't know.
I just wanna be transparent, real,
-from the very beginning.
-Thank you. You're one of the few.
No, for real. If I were to pick you,
would you be interested in it?
Um, yes. I would definitely like
to get to know you more.
-So, yeah.
-All right. Sounds good.
[Kaitlynn] This is my thing.
Me and Carrington: friend zone. Awesome.
Me and Johnny:
There definitely is potential there.
However, I do know
that he's interested in other girls.
So I'm just saying that I am ready
for whatever is to come,
and I'm going to be happy
with any outcome.
Would you rather get stuck in the desert
or a blizzard?
-Like, lost.
-I love this question.
You know what I'm saying? I think snow.
You can drink it and make a little hut.
Just even being here and talking to you
makes me wanna travel so much.
'Cause when you do it, you do it.
You know, "We did this.
We're here, we did it, we're enjoying it."
And it's like, wow.
If you do something that crazy
and you're living in the moment,
you're like, "Wow" in real life, you know?
Had those wow moments,
you know what I mean?
-Oh, my gosh, this is--
-The wow moments.
-This is a wow moment.
-You're a wow.
-You're a wow.
-Oh, my gosh.
-You're so wow.
-Wow.
-[laughing]
-[giggling]
-Wow, wow, wow, wow.
-Loves.
Wow. No, you did not just say that.
[both laugh]
[narrator] Tre and Cely[/i]
head to the kissing nook.[/i]
Are they gonna play checkers?
Obviously…
like, you're my choice.
You're beautiful
on the inside and the outside.
So I don't know where your head is, but…
[sighs] you know where mine is.
I know I can make you happy,
especially if you give me a chance.
I have no doubt about that.
Like, literally--
-You haven't even seen the best stuff.
-[laughs]
So, I know.
It's a tough spot for me
just not knowing exactly,
like, what's gonna happen
or what you're gonna do.
Obviously,
I would like to stay paired with Cely.
But if that's what's not destined to be,
then that's just something
I'll have to accept.
Like, what is the percentage?
What is the percentage?
Is there anybody that
you're leaning towards a little bit more?
[laughs]
You're putting me in a really tough spot.
You guys are both so, so, so cool.
And, like, I feel like
Johnny and I got along,
and we were talking about music.
We have that. You know what I mean?
Why you gotta be so cool, man? Dang, man.
Why everybody gotta like you?
Oh, my gosh, man.
[Cely] Tre has been very direct,
and he's been telling me
all these amazing things.
But let's say I go that route.
It's so early on, you know what I mean?
So I'm like,
"Why is my head being turned?"
-Come here.
-[giggles]
I've been wanting to do that all day.
Damn. Hard for me.
Yeah, how are you feeling? How is it all?
But I mean, ball's in your court.
I feel like you have--
Matter of fact, bro,
can you give me some time with her?
Go ahead. Do your thing, do your thing.
Appreciate that. You know how I feel.
We'll talk later.
I don't really know where my head's at
as far as, like, my decision.
-Yeah.
-Because I don't wanna make a decision
where I steal someone away from somebody
that doesn't wanna be stolen.
-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
I know you and Tre are hitting it off.
Yesterday you told me
he's a really cool dude, and he is.
I guess some stuff, like, forming.
I don't know. I gotta--
I wanna know where you're at with me.
What do you think about me?
I don't wanna steal you away from Tre
if you don't wanna be.
[Cely] Me and Tre, we told each other
we were always gonna be open and honest.
And so that's where I'm at,
and I think you're super cool,
and it's just like, you guys
are making this hard and so confusing.
Because I just want one of you guys
to just suck, so that, like--
You know what I mean?
Like, just to make it easier on me
and me, like, sort out what I'm feeling.
I'm not where Mackenzie's at with Connor
or where Moira's at with James,
you know what I mean?
-I'm not closed in.
-And just to be, like--
I'll sit up here.
Getting kind of tired of laying down.
Just to be completely honest
about my intentions, right?
Yeah.
Hypothetically speaking,
if I were to pick you,
I want you to still be open
to meeting people.
I wanna be open to meeting people as well.
But I also wanna develop
-our relationship if that were to happen.
-Yeah.
No, that stuff is so important.
And it's so nice to hear you say that.
Like, to be honest, like,
I feel like you're a whole-ass man.
[laughs] You know what I mean?
-That's what I'm trying to be.
-No, but, like--
That's not what I typically go for.
I never go for the guys that are, like,
super confident
and outgoing and all this stuff.
-I don't know why. It's been--
-I'm shy.
-Sometimes.
-[laughs]
I don't know. I guess--
Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised.
[laughs] I am in trouble.
Let's start there.
Oh, my God. This is crazy.
After you and Tre's first conversation,
I was peeping.
I was like, "Damn, she's laughing a lot.
Tre must be doing good."
And I was just--
I'm sitting over there, not even, like--
You guys are freshly coupled up.
I was like, "Damn."
-Oh, my God.
-"I have a lot of work to do."
-But--
-That is so funny.
-No, but, yeah. I mean, you're dope.
-Thanks.
You're not making this--
-Right back at ya.
-Appreciate it.
[narrator] Tonight, Johnny will steal[/i]
a girl, and the guys are nervous.[/i]
Especially Tre.
Without Cely, he won't be able
to make out with Kaitlynn
behind her back anymore.
I ain't gonna lie. I didn't expect
to be in a situation like this this early.
-[man] Bro, I thought, honestly--
-It kinda sucks, man.
It sucks being in this situation.
Connor has more power than me
because he didn't have to pick anybody.
And nobody had to step forward
for him either.
So he doesn't know.
They literally gave him--
"Here you go. Here's the keys."
"Here you go, Johnny. Take it all."
He basically got the keys
and the crown right now.
He's in the best possible situation.
We don't know exactly
what move he's gonna do.
We don't know
what's going through his head.
You don't know what to expect.
He could pick anybody.
He could pick anybody, bro. Like, so--
Most likely, we-- Most likely, we know.
That's why--
I'm already accepted it into my head.
-You mentally preparing.
-I'm already accepting.
He definitely picking Cely, man.
I already got it in my head.
Me and Cely, we definitely vibe,
but I'm not gonna be naive.
I know she probably vibes with him too.
He a good-looking guy.
-Yeah.
-So,
At the end of the day,
it's gonna be a competition,
so it's not like
I'm just gonna roll over and pout.
I'ma definitely try and win her over,
but at the same time,
I gotta keep my options open too.
Johnny's in the best-case-scenario
situation.
I'm just sitting here like, dang, man.
Now I just have to play the waiting game.
-We all know why we're here.
-Can't take nothing personal.
We all know why we here.
[narrator] Welcome back to [/i]Love Island.[/i]
Are the Islanders prepared
to see who Johnny will pick?
Oh, I'm so nervous,
I could hurl in my face mask.
The pressure's on right now.
Um, I got a big decision to make tonight.
Some people's feelings are gonna be hurt.
But I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
You know?
Well, even with Carrington,
I literally love him.
He's so sweet, you know what I mean?
But I'm like, I don't know.
Me and Johnny,
there definitely is potential there.
I just don't necessarily wanna get
my hopes up for him to pick me tonight,
because I do know
that he was also interested
in a couple other females.
I'm just, like, torn right now. [chuckles]
I'm just gonna be fair to both of them.
If I'm with one of them, talking to him,
I wanna give him the time.
You know what I mean?
And, like, I don't know.
If Johnny does end up picking me,
the connection I have with Tre
isn't just gonna vanish.
It's still gonna be there. So, yeah.
I think things will get pretty crazy.
[narrator] Getting out[/i]
of the friend zone with a conversation[/i]
is like getting out of a bar fight
with a Beanie Baby.
But Justine and Jeremiah
are gonna try it anyway.
Well, I just wanted to pull you because
I kind of wanna see
where your head is at with us.
And I know we kind of talked about, like--
We, like, friend-zoned each other.
But I think just because of everything
with everybody else that's happened,
I feel like…
the way we vibe,
I feel like I would definitely be open to,
like, seeing where it would go.
-Me too.
-Yeah. I feel like it'd be a waste,
-'cause we have that connection.
-Yeah, we vibe too well.
Yeah, we vibe too well
for me to just not try to see--
I'm that type of person
where people grow on me.
You know what I mean?
I feel that's what's happening with you.
I see you dressed up, I'm like, "Oh!"
You know what I mean? "You clean up nice!"
We just vibe too good, man.
The chemistry is there or whatever.
So, sh**t. We was like,
"Hey, you know, you wanna try it?"
Like, yeah, why not?
You know what I'm saying? So…
We gonna take it slow, man,
and see how it go, man.
[narrator] Now, as soon as Mackenzie[/i]
figures out how stools work,[/i]
Connor will tell her how he feels.
-You look lovely tonight.
-Thank you.
-How are you feeling?
-I'm feeling good.
-Good?
-Yeah.
I don't know why the girls
are so nervous, because I'm like,
it's a guy that's gonna be sleeping alone,
not a girl tonight.
Yeah. No.
I think we're all a little nervous. So…
-What are you nervous for?
-I'm nervous he's gonna pick you.
-He's not gonna pick me.
-Yes, I don't know.
-He said he doesn't know. So…
-He's not gonna pick me.
We'll see what happens. And…
-I just wanted to let you know that--
-What?
I really like you a lot.
And I enjoy getting to know you a lot.
And I think we have
some really good talks.
Wow. Really just laying it on thick.
Yeah. So, no, I wanted you to know that.
Do you feel like, typically,
I approach you?
-Like…
-I get that. So…
-Yeah?
-Up until now, as far as…
when we see each other?
Yeah, it's typically me coming up to you.
Do you notice that?
A little bit, yes.
So, you want me to make more of an effort.
No, I think I'm just curious, like,
are you just, like, the come-to-me type?
Or is-- I-I mean,
we don't know each other that well.
So I'm more of trying to gauge,
is that how you are?
'Cause if it is,
then I will just get used to it, I guess.
You know? But…
Yes, so I would definitely say
that is who I am
when I am getting to know someone
at first.
Um, but I think over time,
I think that changes.
-Mm-hmm.
-So, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.
-Glad we could talk about it.
-Yeah. Can I have a hug?
-Yeah, of course.
-Thank you.
[Connor] Things are still going
very well with Mackenzie.
I definitely miss these feelings,
these butterfly feelings in your stomach.
Uh, it's definitely a magical feeling,
and I wouldn't change it for the world.
-Can I ask you question?
-What?
-Can I hold your hand?
-You wanna hold my hand?
-Yeah.
-Sure, if you want.
Okay.
[narrator] They're holding hands[/i]
before hooking up?[/i]
Where do they find these animals?
J/K. It's cute.
Oh, I want someone to hold my hand,
because things are about to get intense.
Johnny, you look very dapper.
-Yeah, you think so? You look good.
-Yeah, thank you. Thank you.
-Thank you, thank you.
-Yeah, we are dressed pretty nice.
[Tre] All right, toast.
It's gonna be a crazy night.
We won't know what's going on.
But I do know
we're gonna have a good night.
-[all cheer]
-Cheers. Cheers, everybody.
I'm just ready to see
how this all plays out.
Yo, we gotta talk.
-[cell phone chimes]
-Hey! I got a text!
[all cheer]
[all cheer]
Tonight is gonna be so crazy.
I don't wanna be in Johnny's shoes,
let's just put it that way.
Johnny has his pick of the litter tonight,
and I'm looking forward
to his decision for sure.
I need to know where his head's at.
[suspenseful music playing]
I would like to couple up
with this girl because
even though, you know,
we didn't get much time to talk,
within the two conversations we had,
I found out that
we have a lot in common within
those two conversations, you know?
Her laugh is infectious.
I want the conversation to keep going.
I just look forward
to the next conversation I get,
so we can get to know each other
even deeper.
She's beautiful.
The girl I would like
to couple up with is…
[narrator] This is the other side[/i]
of Love Island's[/i] cliff-hanger
commercial break.
Johnny is on the verge
of stealing the girl he wants.
His decision will leave one Islander
single and vulnerable.
The girl I would like
to couple up with is…
-…Cely.
-[scattered applause]
She on my side or what?
That was really nice.
I loved every second.
I'm glad.
-It's a tough spot to be in, but--
-My brother. It's all love, man.
-I woulda did the same thing.
-I know. That's why I have no remorse.
[cell phone chimes]
I got a text.
[Cely] Oh, my God.
[Tre] Whoa.
-Shall we go talk?
-Yeah, we should go talk.
-Wanna go over there?
-Yeah.
[clapping]
I am, like…
a smitten kitten right now.
Like--
I'm just ready to finally hear you say
you're not torn anymore.
I wanna sew you back together.
You know what I'm saying?
-That's good.
-Hey, I mean--
I will say, though,
I feel like with me and Tre,
the depth is there for sure,
and there's a connection and all that,
and I can talk to him
and feel super comfortable.
What you and I have
that I think him and I don't is, like,
that friendship foundation,
like us talking about music.
I don't have that with him,
if I'm being honest.
That's why I was so intrigued
and was like,
"I have to have
more than two conversations with you."
-I got you.
-I wanna kiss you some more now.
Then do it. [laughs]
[upbeat pop music plays]
[giggling]
Oh, my God. I really wanted to do that.
I have major butterflies right now.
Like, that was unreal.
Like…
yeah.
Ah! [laughs]
I'm sorry.
I'm really, really excited about Johnny.
-Oh, God. Oh, my gosh.
-You wanna join 'em now?
[cell phone chimes]
I got a text!
-[woman] Whoo!
-What?
-[whoops]
-What?
-[woman gasps]
-[all cheer]
Oh, my gosh!
My God.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, wait. Wait.
-[cell phone chimes]
-I got a text!
