06x29 - Episode 29: Aftersun

[bunniefuu]

-From our studio, perched on
the edge of a crumbling cliff

high above the Villa,
it's "Love Island USA Aftersun."

-I'm Maura Higgins,

and here's what's coming up on
tonight's unmissable "Aftersun."

Ariana Madix has
a "Vanderpump Rules" reunion

with her bestie, Katie Maloney.

The always unpredictable
Callum is back, along with Cely,

for a deep dive on the week.

Miguel and Leah
will be live in the beach hut.

Liv gives her first interview
since leaving the Villa,

and Catherine, Daia, and Caine
spill some serious tea.

All that and loads more
on "Aftersun."

Let's do this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Bula, and welcome
to "Love Island USA Aftersun."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow, what a week it's been.

Movie Night was a horror show,

the Hideaway was finally open,
and the L-b*mb got dropped.

Ooh! Right now we're
kicking the show off

with a reunion
of reality-TV royalty,

besties
from "Vanderpump Rules."

Please welcome our very own
Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney.

[ Cheers and applause ]

- Hi!
- Wow.

I'm, like, struggling to get up
because my dress is still long.

Hi!

-Oh, you look beautiful,
as always.

-Welcome to Fiji.
How are you, Katie?

-I'm so excited.
This is stunning.

-Mm-hmm. When was the last time
you two saw each other?

-First week of our
sandwich-shop opening.

- Yeah.
- I know.

-By the way, I'm coming
to the sandwich shop.

- Please do.
- Literally straight after Fiji.

- We'll have one ready for you.
- Not a toastie.

-Yeah, we don't have toasties
on the menu.

-You don't have toasties
on the menu?

-Not yet.

-Will you dedicate a toastie
to the islanders? Surely.

- Oh, of course.
- You have to.

-But what would we name it?

-Maybe, um...

Maybe like a fire-pit toastie.

-Fire-pit toa...
That's really good.

- See? This is...
- Yeah. I see.

Katie, you're used to being
on screen with Ariana.

What's it been
like watching her host

her favorite show?

-Oh.
It feels and seems very natural.

I'm just like, "Of course."

- I mean, she's a natural.
- Yeah.

Every time she comes out,
I'm just like,

"Oh, my God, she looks
so good."

When you stop
and think about it,

it's so crazy because we both
love this show so much.

She's the one
that introduced me.

-Is Ariana as big as a fan
as she claims to be?

-Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, yes.
Like, all, like, terminology,

"Love Island" language,
for sure.

That was... that was, like,
how we spoke.

-Yeah, it became
our entire personality.

-Definitely.
I got her water bottle with...

-Yes, you did!

- With her name on it.
- As a present?

-Yeah!

No, it was like literally
my first piece of "Love Island,"

you know, lore was from Katie.

-Yeah. Katie, what do you make
of this year's islanders?

-Everyone is so attractive.
Like, I was just watching them.

Just like, "Wow. Stunning,
gorgeous, handsome," you know.

The men have disappointed,
but I'm used to that.

-I think we all are.

-Men are disappointing,
no matter what.

-Men are a disappointment.

-But the women,
I'm so proud of them.

And I want to just hug them.

I want to be friends
with all of them.

I see myself in so many of them,

watching them all bond
and become friends.

It's so much of
why I got interested in the show

and why it hooked me.

And I just, I'm deeply obsessed.

-I mean, yeah,
you can get hooked so quick.

-Mm-hmm.

-We need to talk
about Movie Night.

-Well, we came,
and we watched it.

-Yeah, we had a little movie
night ourselves watching,

screaming at the TV.

-Yeah.
So, we saw all of it.

I always wish
that more could be shown

because obviously we've seen
episode after episode,

like full episodes,

and it would be great to
just let them see all of that.

-Yeah.

-Um, I think that Aaron
could not just sit there

and understand that he did these
things, and then he stormed out.

-And just, like, so dramatic.

Like, she should be
the one storming out.

- Exactly!
- What are you storming out for?

You're the one in the wrong.

-I don't remember what it was,
but he told her.

He's like, "I know you're
smarter than this"

to, like, respond this way,

as if, like, to invalidate
her true, real emotions

that she was feeling.
- Yeah.

-Just to bypass
his terrible behavior.

-What are highlights
from Movie Night?

-You know,
at first I felt like, you know,

when all of this stuff
about with Leah and Liv

came up, and the girls were
going at it again, you know,

of course,

felt, like, really sad because
they are such good friends.

But the fact that they work it
out every time,

and right afterwards they're
standing up for each other

against anything
that any of the boys have done.

- It feels very familiar.
- It does.

-But I'm the same as you.

I love how they all
just come back together

stronger than ever,
all the time.

-Yeah, all the time.
They're like sisters.

-Yeah. Do you think Movie Night
was good for the Villa to see?

Like, because now they can,
like, get past that, resolve it?

-I think in a lot of ways,
it can be therapeutic.

It's hurtful.

But if you can get past it,
you can heal.

-I always feel like it's better
to have all the information

and then be able to move
accordingly.

- Yeah.
- I think the key is the honesty.

-Yeah, that's true.

-Because even someone like
Miguel,

who did go to Casa,
did bring someone back.

I feel
like he was very up front with,

like, what he was here
to do the entire time.

And obviously now he's
in a couple with Leah again.

But I think that because he was
very honest the whole time,

you can't be mad at him.

-That's true.

-Yeah, it's not like he lied
about anything.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Ariana, you dropped
a surprise recoupling

on the islanders on Thursday.

Oh, look at ya! Jesus!

-Oh, that was fun,
sneaking into the Villa.

-Who was the most shocked?

-You know,
when Liv was stood up there,

all the OG girls were crying.

They were shook
because this is the first time

I think that the girls
have lost one of the girls

that they are that close with,
and she's just... I feel

like she's such an important
part of that friend group.

-Well, you delivered
a hot bombshell to the Villa,

Harrison.
- Yes.

-Who was most surprised
to see him, most excited?

-Oh, you know,
the girls were all very excited.

JaNa recognized him right away.
- Immediately.

-The boys,
I think they were intimidated.

And then, of course,

they wanted to buddy up to him
because, you know,

they don't want him
to steal their girl.

-He's hot.

-Did you enjoy watching
him go in?

-I did, actually. I really did.

I thought that outfit...
- Oh, the all black?

-Oh, I love all black on a man,
yeah.

-Well, speaking of Harrison...

-Oh, God!

- last week's episode
didn't show just

how flirty you were with him.

So, I thought if the main show
can have unseen moments,

why not "Aftersun," too?
- Wait. What?!

-So, here's my own personal,
unseen moment...

-She's lying.

- that I like to call
when "Harry met Maura."

- Right over here.
- Perfect. How you doing?

Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

♪♪

-I think someone might
be coming to change your mike.

-Yeah.

Hey.
- One moment.

♪♪

-Now I'll just sweat over here.

It's this fire.
- Yeah, yeah.

And, I mean, it's pretty hot
in Fiji.

-Yeah, that's very true.

He's done.

- I'm done.
- You're done.

-Sayonara.
Nice to see you again.

- Nice to see you.
- Pleasure.

See you again soon.

-[ Mouthing ] I love you.
I love you.

-Beauty. [ Chuckles ]

-Oh, what a man.
What a man.

[ Sighs ]
Can I go in as a bombshell?

[ Cheers and applause ]

- Oh, my God, you are so cute.
- I'm actually weirded out

by how much I was staring
at him.

I'm like, "What was this?"
- That one had me.

-That is creepy!

Oh, my God,
any wonder I'm single?

Nobody needs to see that, guys.
- We've all been there.

-And if he ever sees that clip,

genuinely, you will
never see me back here again.

I'm sure he won't see it.

-He could probably feel it.
I mean, he was...

- He did say it was hot, huh?
- Yeah.

-Moving on, moving on.

Enough about Harrison,
Maura and Harry love story.

We'll get back to that
maybe next week.

[ Both laugh ]

Well, we've had Movie
Night, L-bombs, the Hideaway.

Do you have a favorite moment
of the week?

-It's Serena and Kordell
reuniting and her doing his hair

and then just being
so cute together.

- She looks so smitten now.
- She does.

And, honestly,
the fight that they had

when she was getting
her steps in around the villa,

it was something
that needed to happen,

and she was able to work through
all of these difficult emotions.

And I was so proud of her

for getting all of
that inner turmoil worked out.

And, like, just look at them.

They're so cute.
- They look so good together.

-Yeah, I loved Kordell,
and he really let me down

when he went to Casa,

because I was like, "Dude,
I was rooting for you.

We were all rooting for you."

Like, I really, truly see them
lasting and being together.

-Well, thank you so much, guys.

-Thank you!

-Ariana will be back later
to spill some more tea.

Katie, after the break,

you'll be helping us unpack all
the biggest dramas of the week

along with Cely and Callum Hole.

So, don't go anywhere.

And that goes for you lot, too!
See you in a few.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Welcome back
to "Aftersun USA."

And please give a huge welcome

to my panel
of "Love Island" experts.

-That's us.

-She gives me full-body
fanny flutters.

It's my girl Cely!

-It's an honor. Wow!

-From "Love Island Australia"
and "Games,"

he's one
of the biggest holes in the biz.

It's Callum Hole.

[ Laughter ]

- I love it.
- I love that.

Get him again, get him again!

-And you may recognize her
from segment one.

It's Katie Maloney!
She's back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Welcome back to Fiji, Callum.

-Thank you.
It's good to be back.

-Last time you were
on "Aftersun,"

you had a surprise reunion
with Deb

after standing her up,
let's not forget.

It was iconic.
- It was iconic, very iconic.

-I've only just recovered,

so I'm hoping there's
no more surprises today.

-I need to know.
Has she forgiven you?

- Yeah. She has. Yeah.
- Has she, though?

- Has she, though?
- Oh, as far as I'm aware, yeah.

-Let's ask her ourselves.
Deb, come back.

-No! My God!

-Callum, how are you enjoying
all the drama,

because there's a lot of it.
- Yeah.

Honestly, it just keeps coming
and coming and coming.

I've never been hooked
on a TV show

like this season of "Love
Island." Like, it's crazy.

-Cely,
It's been a hell of a week.

-Yeah, we got a lot
to talk about, girl.

-I need to ask you, what was

the most talked about
on our socials?

-Oh, my God, so much.

But I would say the JaNa meme?
k*lling it.

It's everywhere.
I love that woman.

So I'm, like,
"More of her, please."

But also the Kordell
bringing Serena breakfast

and then her kind of like
saying,

"Get that out of my face."

-Don't even.

-Serena!

- What did you make of that?
- It is everywhere.

Oh, my God,
it made me kind of sad.

I'm not gonna lie.
Like, I love Serena to death,

but I was like, "Girl,
just don't eat the breakfast."

-Okay, well, before we get stuck
in, let's have a quick refresher

of the last seven days
on "Love Island."

Run the tape.

-After I saw the video
of you kissing her,

literally broke me so badly.

-Go. You chose her.
Go choose her.

- I want to be with you.
- You don't want to be with me.

Why didn't you think
that through?

-f*ck you!
f*ck all the boys over there.

You brought her back to rub
that sh*t in my f*cking face.

- Nobody was trying to rub...
- No.

-I want you, Serena.

♪♪

-Man, I feel bad for Kaylor

because they didn't
even show the worst of it.

-How could it be worse?

Why wouldn't you mention that
to me, though?

You didn't...
- Because it's not a big deal!

-It's a big deal to me!

-I just feel so much better.

-I definitely do want
to continue things with you.

-I think you've
literally lied to Serena,

and you've literally lied to me.

-Holy f*ck!

-I'm sorry
that I made a mistake.

I f*cking love you.
There you go. I said it.

Aah!

-It's good to finally
let go of what happened in Casa

and move the "F" on.

[ Beeping ]

-Oh! Wow!

[ Laughter ]

-She was saying that
Andrea should go home.

I didn't lie.

-Shut the f*ck up!

-I know.
I'm sorry. I f*cked up.

-I respected you. f*ck!

♪♪

-Catherine, Daia, and Liv,

you are single
and dumped from the island.

-[ Crying ]
I'm gonna miss you so much.

♪♪

-Please welcome Harrison.

[Cork pops ]
- Whoo!

-The girl
I would like to steal is Sierra.

♪♪

[ Cheers and applause ]

-I mean, how was that
only one week, by the way?

-I was just about to say that.
That's an entire season.

-I feel like I just watched
a whole movie trailer.

Like, that is insane.
- Right.

What are we making of Harrison
as a bombshell so far?

I'm biased.

-We should be asking you
that question.

What are you making of Harrison?

-I'm not into saying.

-That's why he came in,
took the shirt off immediately,

and was like,
"All right, let's go."

-He knew what he was doing.

-Get the clothes off.

-[ Laughing ] Yeah.
I mean, all the girls

were just like...

- Yeah, every one of them.
- Yeah, including...

-I mean, yeah.

-He's like the shiny, new toy,
right?

-Yeah.

-Obviously all the girls,
it's like, "Fresh meat."

They're all, like,
intrigued, you know.

They're all looking at him.
I feel like,

yeah, he's loving it
at the moment.

-Did anyone think he
might have chosen Nicole?

Because I did.

When I was watching, I was...
- Really?

-Yeah.
I was literally like,

"Oh, my God,
is he gonna pick her?

Is he... what?"

-I just don't think
he's bold enough to do that.

If I'm being honest, you know?
- I don't think so.

And I think the only people
that were nervous

were her and Kendall maybe.

-Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Kendall looked very nervous.

-Yeah, I loved it.

It was so cute the way
he was like

freaking out during
the recoupling.

Like, you could see it
in his face.

-Yeah, he was panicking,
wasn't he?

-I was like, "More of that."

-Harrison's steal meant

that Caine was dumped
from the island.

Was it his time?
- Yeah. Absolutely.

Sorry. Caine.
- Yeah.

-We'll keep the seat warm
for you.

[ Laughter ]

- Oh, Cely!
- What happened to Cely?

Where has cute, innocent Cely
gone?

She's coming out
with the moves today.

- Savage!
- I'm so sorry.

-Callum, what do you make of
Aaron dropping the "L-b*mb"

while he was apologizing?

-That was a madness.

I know he had spoke about it
in the last couple of days,

but to do it
in that circumstance,

I feel like he just wanted
to put a zip on Kaylor's mouth.

You know what I mean?
- It was a manipulation.

-And that's a big thing,
especially for a woman.

Like, I feel like when women,
you hear the word

"I love you" from a guy,
it means a lot.

And the fact he's just gone
to start...

-But it worked. It worked.
She crumbled.

-And he knows
what he's doing there.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yes!

-But, also, it's meant to be,
in, like, a perfect moment.

Like, that's
not really the time.

- No.
- No.

He knew he could pull it out,

and she was going to, like,
it was going to turn

the whole thing around.

And she was going to be, like,
putty in his hand again.

We've all been that young girl.

I mean,
I essentially married my Aaron.

So, like,
let me be the cautionary tale.

Like, sweet girl,
like, don't f*cking do it.

-Yeah.

-Like, it doesn't have
to be this way.

It doesn't need to be the highs
and the lows.

That's not love.
That's not passion.

That's not anything.

-That's the hardest part
of, like,

watching it is, like, of
someone who has been there.

Like, that was my experience,
my season of "Love Island,"

and watching it is so triggering
because I'm like,

"I was that girl
that was just crying and, like,

really wanting to be
with that man."

And she's going to learn
so much from this,

but it's just
not going to be easy, you know?

-It's every day.
It's every day.

Like, they say that human body's
got, like, 75% water.

I think she's only got
about 5% left in her.

- The girl's dehydrated.
- She's dehydrated!

-Somebody's get her some water!

- Someone get her a drink.
- H20!

[ Laughter ]

-Right.
Moving on to Rob and Daniela.

What do we make of this couple?

-I don't think he's that
into her.

-It's so tacky. It's his best
mate's ex-missus in a way.

And it's weird!

-When they look at each other,
there's nothing.

There's no spark, no chemistry.

They're just... yeah. Oh.
They're bored.

-If you were comparing it to,
like,

what him and Leah
had in the beginning,

like we all felt and saw
sparks watching them, right?

Even him and Andrea,

we all kind of agreed he had
better chemistry with Andrea.

With them,
it's nowhere even near,

-i reckon if a bombshell bird
came in that was a bit of Rob,

Rob's head would be turning
like a Phillips screwdriver.

[ Laughter ]

-I need a dictionary
to come with Callum.

-He just goes afterwards,
"You know what I mean?"

Right.
Moving on to Nicole and Kendall.

The Hideaway finally opened.
They got to spend a night there.

In the words of Kendall,
do you think they got nasty?

-100%
-100%. Yeah, definitely.

I feel like
there's sexual tension there

between the two of them.

And I'm so happy
that they're back together.

And Kendall's grown on me
over the last couple of weeks,

and I'm just so happy
for the both of them.

I feel like they're
in a good position,

and I feel like the Hideaway,
whenever you go in there,

it just amplifies what
you already got.

-Yeah.

-So, hopefully,
you got a bit of action.

-What do we actually make
of Miguel and Leah as a couple?

-I love them.
I just love them.

- Lot of chemistry.
- Yes!

And I feel
like they share the same freak.

Like, they have the same type
of, like, crazy.

You know what I mean?
Like, Miguel is so goofy.

When they were showing
his stuff at Movie Night,

he was, like, being an idiot.

And. like, obviously like,
Leah is like this,

like, doesn't care type
of personality.

And I just think they're
perfect together.

-Mm.
Moving on to JaNa and Kenny.

They're back on after Casa.

- Yes.
- Yes!

-Yay!

-It's what she's deserved
since the day

she stepped in the Villa,
and I'm so happy.

-Like, she is such a peach.
I love her.

-Yeah, I'm really happy
for them.

-Yeah.

-Have we recovered
from Kenny crying now?

-That was some madness, that,
isn't it?

-You were talking about men's
vulnerability,

and I just started laughing.

-No, I love to see that

because that just shows
how much he cares.

-That moment got me
to be a Kenny fan

because at first I was
kind of like annoyed with him

because of the Casa stuff.

I was like, "Hello sir.
What's going on upstairs?"

But then after that I was like,

"Oh, he's like a really
good guy."

And it was so cute.
And he won me over.

-I feel
like he didn't do anything wrong

in Casa, in my opinion.

I don't think he did
anything wrong.

He had every right
to test the waters.

And why not bring, you know,

somebody else back
into the Villa

to explore two connections
at the same time?

It's still early days with JaNa.

-Why not?

Because, no woman
wants to be an option.

So, if they had a connection
first,

she does not want to have
another one come back and

be like, "Oh, now I'm just an
option for you to choose from?"

If it's not a "f*ck, yes,"
it's a "f*ck, no," my guy.

- Yeah, true.
- That is what it is.

I don't want some guy
who met me to be like,

"Well, now, I don't know."

t's like, "Well, I'll make
the decision for you. Bye."

-Yeah. And that's what she did.
That's what she did.

-That's what it is.

-But how long was Kenny and
JaNa together for at the start?

-It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.

-Like a couple of days.
A couple of days.

-That is more than enough time
in the "Love Island."

-Yeah, but he's had a couple
of days in Casa Amor,

and he's formed two connections.

So, why not have two
for the price of one?

-Let me know
how that works out for you.

-I mean, I'm single,
so don't take too much advice.

[ Laughter ]

-Stop dating.

-Right.
Well, thank you so much, guys.

Let's give it up for our panel,
everyone.

Superstar bombshell Liv

-Before we get started,

shall we take a look at
just some of the moments

that made you such
an iconic islander?

-Oh, God. Sure. Let's do it.

-Let's go!

-When I walk into the Villa,
the girls

are going to hold their men
a little bit closer.

Hello?
I'm Olivia.

-Are we f*cked?

-I'm not here to put socks
on centipedes.

I'm not here to waste my time.

So, it wasn't that bad, right?

Half the fights were in there.
So, a win is a win.

-You struggle to find
a connection in the Villa.

-Yes.

You were coupled up with Rob,
Hakeem, Miguel,

Nigel, Caine.
- One more.

-Why do you think it didn't
work out with any of them?

-At the start, I was definitely
nervous, like, going in.

I feel like Rob and I,

like, started to get to know
each other a bit more

and what our personalities were
like at the end.

But a lot of them, it was

I feel like we were either
too the same, like Miguel and I.

He's like one of my good friends
now,

but it was just
like we were just friends.

Hakeem and I, I feel
like just butted heads for

the best worth.

With Nigel, I feel like I tried
to give it the time to,

like, wait it out with him,

but I feel like when it's
not there at the start,

it's just not there.

And then who was next?
- Caine.

You forgot about him again?

-[ Laughing ] Yeah.

Well, I don't know
what's going on in his brain.

Like he's, yeah, lovely guy.
Just not a lot there.

-Who was your favorite
to be coupled up with?

Like, when do you think you
were, like, the happiest?

-When I was in the change room.
No.

-[ Laughs ]
"When I was by myself."

-"When I was just
with my girls."

-We need to talk about Rob.

-Yes.

-Because before Casa,
you guys had a conversation.

There was connection.

-Yeah,
I didn't know if it was, like,

just flirting,
or we were just both single.

So, it's like...
Yeah, I don't know.

He's like a good friend of mine,
i would say.

I'm happy for him.

He knows what he wants,
and that's Daniela. So...

- Does he want Daniela?
- Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

-I mean, if I was Rob,
no, thanks.

-Right.

- But I'm not Rob.
- Yeah, why?

-Well, I don't know
if I'd want my, like...

- Give it to us.
- You're like this...

- Sloppy seconds?
- Yeah, well...

Like, she was very close
with Aaron until the final night

and then they sort of started
to chat.

But after watching Movie Night
and seeing how she acted

and what she was saying
with him,

I don't know
if I would go back to her,

But that's just me.

-I need to ask you,

what do you feel you've learned
from "Love Island"?

-To yell a little less.

Like, there's a time
and a place to yell.

And I don't get that
at the start,

but I definitely
have learned a lot about myself.

I think I've learned, also,

that some people need
to go through their own journey,

and you don't always need
to fight their battles.

As much as, like, I would
not change that about myself,

but sometimes someone
has to experience

and stand up for themselves
to really work out,

and you can't always be
the one doing that.

-I'm still learning that.
[ Chuckles ]

- Okay.
- I'm nearly 40 years old.

So, like, it's hard, 'cause
when you care about someone,

you love someone, you're like,
"Let me... I got this."

-And sometimes they don't want
to, and I'm like, "I'll say it."

And then you're like, "f*ck."

-Say it with your whole chest.
Don't lose your voice.

'Cause, like,
that's so lovely about you,

that you're not afraid.
- Thank you.

-And you don't back down,
and you never should.

-You always had
your girls' backs.

How much
are you gonna miss them?

-I miss them so much.

Like, today, doing my makeup,

I was like, "Anyway...
Oh, you're not here."

-Aww!

-And like, yeah,
I was like, "Nicole, can I vote?

Yeah. She's not here either."
- [ Laughs ]

And, like, Kayla and I
were, like, joined at the hip.

Like, that girl
brought the best out of me.

But definitely, they're the one
thing I'm gonna miss the most,

'cause I feel like
the girl power was strong.

-Very.

-And, like, we all fought
like sisters,

like, some more than others,

but we had each other's backs
no matter the situation.

-When everyone stood
behind your back,

it was such a powerful moment.
- It's like "The Avengers."

I need that in a poster size.

I'm gonna put it on my wall
in my bedroom.

- Yeah.
- Liv, who are you gonna miss
the most?

-I mean, I would be lying

if I didn't say
I'm gonna miss Kayla the most.

She was like my joint
at the hip.

I love her so much,
and she deserves the world.

So... Oh!
She's gonna make me cry.

- [ Laughs ] Aw!
- If I had to give the prize...

- I know!
- Like, she's genuinely so sweet.

Like, there were
so many times we were like...

Well, I was like,
"Eh, screw them.

I don't want
to get to know them yet."

And she was like, "No. We got
to see the best in everyone."

So her for sure.

I want to do a runner
over this wall.

- [ Laughs ]
- And jump in and be like,
"Guys!"

-Now, Liv,
in the beach last week,

I set you a secret
"Aftersun" mission

to convince the islanders

that a completely made-up
word was 100% legit.

It was...

- Bubbletrot.
- bubbletrot.

-I don't know why
I thought of that.

-And actually, you thought of it
really, really quick, as well.

I was like, "Wow!"
We were impressed. Yeah.

- I was like...
- It's time to find out

if your mission
was a great success

or a total failure.
- Okay. Let's see.

-This is Mission Bubbletrot.

-Whoo!
[All cheering, laughing]

-Let's play a game.

Drunk icks.

An ick of mine
is when people bubbletrot.

- What's that?
- When they're, like, drunk,
and they have that walk.

- Oh.
- And they're like...

Yeah. They have that,
like, drunk walk.

I hate that.

B-u-b-b-l-e-t-r-o-t...

Bubbletrot. [ Chuckles ]

Who do you think in the Villa
would half the worst bubbletrot?

- Kendall.
- Really?

Show me how you think
he'd do it.

-"Hey!"

[ Both laugh ]

-NayNay, do you bubbletrot?

-No. I get carried out the club.

- Carried out.
- Oh, I can see that.

- When I'm in Vegas...
- Just feet being dragged
like this.

-No. f*cking...
[ Laughter ]

-How do you think
she bubbletrots?

Go, Miguel.

- "That f*cking b*tch!"
- [ Laughs ]

- "f*ck her!"
- "How dare she!"

-What's a bubbletrot?

- That, like, drunk...
- Walking out of a bar.

-When you see them, they've been
partying in a club,

and they're like...
there was that carry-on person.

-Hey, Aaron,
what's your bubbletrot?

-Aw, sh*t. It's 'cause
I got squinty eye, anyway.

It goes like this,
and I get dinosaur arms,

and I'm like this.
[ Laughter ]

-You know, my friends
call me Cross-Eyed k*ller

'cause messed up,
I'll be like this...

"Hey, Lou."

[ Laughs ]
"What are you doing?"

[ Cheers and applause ]

- Well-done!
- That was good!

-You absolutely smashed that.

- I think I did alright.
- No, you did amazing.

We need to get "bubbletrot"

added to the dictionary,
I think.

- I think so, too.
- It's a great word.

-It kind of works.
It kind of works.

- It does work.
- You should.

-Liv, thank you
so, so much for joining us.

-Thank you for having me.

-Let's hear it for Liv,
everyone.

- Yay!
- Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]
- Still to come,

Leah and Miguel will be live
from the beach hut,

dumped islanders
Catherine, Daia, and Caine

set the record straight,

and Ariana is back
with an exclusive scoop.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-We're back
with "Love Island USA Aftersun"!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Time for some beach-hut
shenanigans now

with recently reunited
couple Leah and Miguel.

[ Cheers and applause ]
- Hey!

- Hi, guys!
- How's it going?

- Welcome to "Aftersun."
- Hi, Maura.

- Pleasure to be here.
- How's life in the Villa?

-Yeah, it's a lot.

But we loving it. We loving it.

-You two are officially back
in a couple.

We love to see it.
- Yes, sir. [ Laughs ]

-Why do you think
you gravitated back

to each other after Casa?

-Well, yeah, I guess
I got to talk on that one.

So, yeah, no.

Obviously, when I first, like,
started speaking to Leah

and then had to go straight
to Casa,

it was, like, very fresh.

So I didn't know, like, if my...

- [ Chuckles ]
- I had to test it out.

Let's just say that.
I wanted to test out, see,

like, if what I was feeling
was actually legit.

And I ain't gonna lie.

When I came in, it was...

Without being disrespectful,
it was almost instantaneous.

I was just like, yeah, I knew
who I wanted to get back with.

-Aw! That's so cutie!

-That is sweet.
Leah, are you happy?

-No. No [laughing] yeah.
[ Laughter ]

- Okay. It's been a pleasure.
- No, no.

-Thank you, guys. Thank you.

-Leah, you've forgiven him,
though, haven't you?

-Well, I didn't think
there was much to forgive,

but I feel
like we were really fresh.

- Mm-hmm.
- And I feel like

he didn't really owe me
that much.

But I also feel like

we just gravitated
back towards each other.

-What's the best part about
being in a couple together?

-Out of everyone in here,

I feel like she definitely
understands me the most.

With her,
I can just be myself 100%.

I'm not holding back at all.

We have great conversations,
and at times, as well,

we can literally just lay there
next to each other

and not say anything and
just enjoy each other's company.

So it just feels very natural
and very comforting.

Yeah. I'm enjoying
where we at right now are.

- Aw!
- What about you, Leah?

-I just feel like
we're always on the same page

and we don't really have to try
to be on the same page.

And I feel like that's a really
good thing for me at least.

Yeah. I mean, I'm happy.
- Aw! [ Laughs ]

- Yay!
- It's like a love story.

-You guys look very happy.

-I can't stop smiling.

-Do you think
you'll make it to the final?

-I feel like I pretty much
made my mind.

I definitely do want to get
to know her

outside of here, as well.

So whether we make it
to the final or not,

I know me and her are
still gonna be kicking it.

So yeah, I ain't really fussed,
really, to be honest.

How about you?
- Yes.

We want to make it to the final.
- [ Laughs ]

- Yay!
- [ Laughing ]

-Also, we want to win,
and it will give me the money.

- Oh!
- [ Laughs ]

- I would love to see you.
- Miguel, watch out!

- Why not? I'm good.
- [ Laughs ]

-Are you ready to play
a little game?

- Yeah. Let's get it.
- Yes.

-Okay. It's called
Green Flag, Red Flag.

I'm gonna say a quality
of a partner.

If you think it's fine,
raise your green flag.

- Mm-hmm.
- If it's a hell no,

raise your red flag.

Got it? Okay.
- Alright. Yeah.

We're gonna see if we still be
kicking it together after this.

[ Laughter ]
- Okay. Here we go, guys.

This is the ultimate test, okay?

- [ Laughs ]
- The ultimate. Not Casa.

This is the ultimate.
- Yeah.

-So, he failed Casa.
Let's see if he fails this.

- I think I came out victorious.
- No, I'm kidding.

-Right. Flags at the ready.

Here we go.
- [ Laughs ]

-Your partner is a member
of the Mile High Club.

-Oh.

-[ Laughing ] I knew that.

-Any of you in that club, then?

- Not yet.
- [ Laughs ]

-"Yet" is a key word.
"Yet" is madness.

-Your partner
flirts with everyone.

-Oh, I don't think I like that,
but he does.

- Oh, it's...
- [ Laughing ]

-Your partner loves to gossip.

-[ Chuckles ]

-[ Laughing ]

- The eyes of Miguel is crazy.
- [ Laughs ]

- The death stare's madness.
- He loves to gossip!

- I don't love to gossip.
- He likes to hear gossip.

-I like to listen to the gossip.

It's a big difference.
- You chime in.

-I'll listen,
but I don't put an input.

Hey, I'll be like, "Ooh!"
- No.He'll be like, "Oh, my God."

-See, what I do is

I will juice out
the information strategically,

but I won't say nothing.

So I'll be sitting up like,
"Oh, and what do they do next?

Seriously! Oh, wait!"
- [ Laughs ]

-You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm like.

-No. And he also gives his input
on everything.

- Cap.
- All lies.

-Okay.
Your partner likes to lie.

[ Laughter ]
- Red flag.

-They let their pets
sleep on the bed.

-We were about
to have a problem.

[ Laughter ]
- That's a big one.

-She'd be like, "But he's got
to sleep on the floor."

[ Laughter ]

-They tell their mom everything,
and I mean everything.

[ Laughter ]

- I don't think they care.
- There's certain stories

that shouldn't be shared.
- Not okay, Miguel?

I think just 'cause
the way I am.

Like, I love my mumsy, innit,

but, like, I won't tell
her everything, you know?

-But guess what, Miguel?
She's about to see everything.

[ Laughter ]
- You know what's mad?

-You and Casa, everything.

[ Laughter ]
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, relax.
You know what's crazy?

She didn't even know
I came in here.

- [ Laughing ]
- Oh, my God.

-Wait. What?!

-She don't even know
I came here.

- What?!
- [ Laughs ]

-Okay, that's actually crazy.

-Where does she think you are?

-She thinks I'm on a retreat.

[ Laughter ]

- Stop.
- What kind of retreat?

-That's exactly
what I told my parents, too.

-Are you serious?

I think me and you
are gonna be homeys.
- That is crazy.

-Okay. Thank you so much
for being such good sports.

- Okay! Thank you for having me.
- Oh, sh*t.

- We love you here on "Aftersun."
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. Appreciate it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Alright.
Next up, dumped islanders

Daia, Catherine, and Caine
are coming in hot.

And so is Ariana Madix.

Don't go anywhere!

[ Cheers and applause ]

-What up, "Aftersun"?

It's Nikki.
- And Brie.

And this week
on "Spill the Tea,"

we have the one and only queen
of the Villa, Ariana Madix.

-Oh, yes.
We talk about Movie Night,

those emotional dumpings,

and that Harrison
has finally entered the Villa.

-Ooh la la!

So tune in
wherever you get your podcasts.

-Mm-hmm. Bye, Maura.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Welcome back to the show!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Now, Liz wasn't the only one
dumped from the Villa this week.

Casa kids Daia, Catherine,
and Caine was also sent packing.

Now they're here
to unpack everything.

Give it up for Daia, Catherine,
and Caine!

[ Cheers and applause ]

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

-How are you all feeling?

- Happy.
- Happy?

-[ Laughing ]

- Happy? Yeah?
- Yeah.

This was my time to go.
I was, like, ready.

-Are you glad
to be away from the drama?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh!

-I miss my friends, though.

- Yes. Of course.
- Yeah.

-I wish I could have had

an opportunity to find someone,

but when it's time, it's time.

So, you know, I'm feeling good.
- Yeah.

-Caine, how much of a shock
was it to be sent home?

-I'll be honest with you.

Like, you know,
about a week in and stuff,

I weren't really feeling it
at all.

I ain't gonna lie.

As time progressed,
I was like, "Okay. I'm in it.

Found a new connection,"
sort of thing.

I was a bit surprised
at the way I left,

but yeah, I weren't too upset.
- From what we saw,

you seemed to have a
genuine connection with Sierra.

You told her if she had another
conversation with Harrison,

you wouldn't be interested.

- Yeah. So this...
- It really annoyed her.

-Yeah. So this was where
our words got crossed.

I thought she meant
take him on a date.

So I thought she meant,

"If I take him on a date
and get to know him,

well, would you be annoyed?"

I say... You know what I mean?

I'm not gonna sit here,
waiting for you to tell me

if you like another man
more than me.

I mean, you either like me
or you don't.

But yeah.
And then she went, "No.

I mean, like, if he pulls me
in a chat, Is that okay?"

I was like, "Yeah. f*ck it.
Like, of course it is.

Of course it is." So that's
where our words were crossed.

I'm not that controlling.
Do You know what I mean?

-Fair enough.

Can you see Harrison
on Sierra lasting now?

-Uh...

[ Laughter ]

-He seems like a gentleman,
a lovely lad.

There was no bad blood there.

-So he's not a Muppet?
He's not a Muppet?

-He's not a Muppet. No.
[ Laughter ]

-Please explain what that means.

-I didn't even say Muppet.

That must be a language barrier.

-I heard "Muppet"
and then I was like...

I was confused,
because it didn't...

-It might be "my boy."

I said a couple
of funny comments,

but no, I didn't say a Muppet.

That's, like,
downright disrespectful.

[ Laughter ]
Do You know what I mean?

No, no.
I'm not that confrontational.

Jesus. [ Chuckles ]

-Catherine and Daia,
you entered the Villa

as part of one of dramatic weeks
of "Love Island" history.

- Yeah.
- Ooh, yeah. Tough.

[ Laughter ]

-How was it facing
the O.G. girls?

-It was tough. I will say

I think we might have been
a little naive

to think
it was rainbows and unicorns

on the other side
of coming back from Casa.

I don't know what I expected.

I don't know
what other girls expected.

But I didn't
definitely expect JaNa

to be standing there,
waiting for Kenny.

So when I walked in,
I was kind of like, "Oh, sh*t!"

Very much so. It's like, "Ugh."

I think you can see my face.
I was like, very shocked.

- We saw it on your face, girl.
- I'm like...

-Yeah.

-And he disrespected you
immediately.

-Yeah. I literal... yeah.
[ Laughs ]

-He said he had a stronger
connection with JaNa,

even though he brought you back.
- Yeah.

-And I know Ariana had said
a little comment, as well.

I was like, "Damn!"
Like, "sh*t!"

-Looking back now, do you wish

you had said something
in that moment?

-Yes and no,
because at the same time,

we had so many conversations

about how JaNa
was such a wonderful woman

and how he had a really
strong connection with her.

So at the end of it,
like, I kind of knew.

But later on, me and JaNa
had so many conversations.

She was like an older sister,

and she told me, like,
she thought that I went about it

the classiest way.

I really much appreciate that.

And so I feel really happy
about that.

So it was really nice.

Yeah, yeah. [ Laughs ]
- Aww!

- Daia.
- Hi.

-You went in...
[ Laughter ]

-Here we go!

- Damn!
- [ Squeals ]

-Daia, you went into Casa
with one man in your sights.

-Yeah.

-You even said it on "Aftersun"
before you went in.

Were you surprised by how well
you and Kordell got on?

-To be honest, yes,
'cause, like, I genuinely...

I told him this
from the beginning.

Like, watching them
before I went in,

I can tell that they had
a really strong friendship,

but I wasn't seeing, like, the
romantic connection for them.

And going in,
I don't regret, like,

not talking
to any of the other boys.

Like, I genuinely liked
Kordell for who he was.

So we just got on really well
just based on the fact

that we were pretty similar
in a lot of ways.

-That's the thing.
I feel like with Casa,

if you had more time with him,

I feel like things
would have progressed even more.

Where. like,
I didn't see much of you guys

talking at all in the Villa
after Casa.

- Yeah.
- But in Casa, you, were,
like, joined at the hip.

Do you know what I mean?

So it's hard to progress
something if it's just

all this noise and smoke
happening in the background.

-I agree.
Do You know what I mean?

-Well, I here to bring it up,

but there was
one comment mentioned

during the social-media
challenge

about Kordell's brother.
- Yeah.

-It caused a bit of drama.

[ Laughter ]

What's your side of the story?

-Obviously,
when I got out of the Villa

and I saw
what they were talking about,

it's apparently me
putting two heart-eye emojis

under his brother's photo


when I was literally living
in Australia.

So yeah, like,
I think it's Photoshopped.

It's not true.
Like, do you think the best way

for me to get to his brother

is to go kiss
and, like, dry-hump Kordell?

-So you were humping! Ah!

[ Laughter ]
Now it's making sense!

-These Photoshop things
happen all the time.

- That's ridiculous.
- That don't matter, Daia.

They've just been nasty
for no reason.

-Well, Kordell and Serena
actually

did some goodbye messages
for you the night you left.

Do you want to see them?
- Yeah.

-Oh! Oh, my God, stop!
Have a look.

-Goodbye, Daia.

I love you so much,
you sweet, sweet girl.

I think you helped me a lot
in here

with, you know, personal growth,

and just, like, seeing, like,

both sides
of, you know, every story.

And honestly, like, I'm
definitely gonna miss our chats.

-I just want to say goodbye,

and I want to say sorry again
for leading you on.

That was never my intentions.

I wasn't trying to do that.

I did feel our connection.

But there was a stronger one,
and I just couldn't change that.

I know you said... shout-out me
for bringing you here,

but I just want to shout
you out for making me realize

where my head and heart is.

[ Cheers and applause ]
- Kordell.

-Aw. Thank you.

-How does it feel watching that?

-I have nothing bad
to say about Kordell.

I think he's genuinely
really sweet,

and I think he deserves someone

that's gonna, like,
treat him amazingly.

And Serena seems like
she's ready to do that for him,

so I'm really happy
for both of them, to be honest.

-You're gonna back them
to the final?

- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah? Aw.

[ Cheers and applause ]

- That's so cute!
- That is so cute.

Well, guys, thank you all
so much for joining us.

- Thank you.
- That was a great chat.

Lots of tea.
- Yes, absolutely. [ Chuckles ]

Give it up for Daia, Catherine,
and Caine, everyone.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Now, each week,

Iain Stirling finds a great
moment from the Villa

that didn't make it
onto the main show.

- Oh my gosh.
- He calls it...

-Iain Stirling's
Unseen Moments of the Week!

-I'm scared! Oh, my God!

-And this week's unseen moment

actually involves
Daia and Catherine.

[ Laughter ]
Take it away, Iain.

-Hi, everybody.
It's Iain Stirling here,

voice of "Love Island"
and the voice of Iain Stirling.

People often come up to me
in the street

and say things like,
"You're the funniest comedian

I've ever seen
in my entire life,"

and, "Get out of my garden."

And I agree
with both of those things.

But I tell you
what's funnier than me.

That's the O.G. Villa girls.

And you will not believe
how they initiated

the Casa girls into the Villa
with a hilarious prank

in which they trick them
about the relationship

between Hakeem and Hannah.

It's as hilarious
as it as unseen.

Check it out.

-Wanna know why
Hannah and Hakeem actually left?

-Why?

-Are we allowed?
We can't tell them.

-Just quick,
quick, quick, quick, quick.

You already mentioned it.
You already mentioned it.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

-So, basically,
like, Hannah and Hakeem

obviously had whatever
they had going on,

but there was a lot of, like,

sexual tension
built up between them.

And so they went
to the hideaway.

- In the middle of the night.
- In the middle of the night

they went into the hideaway
all by themselves,

and they f*cked so hard
that they broke the hideaway...

everything in the hideaway.
- [ Laughs ]

- And then she got pregnant.
- [ Gasps ]

- Yeah. Apparently, she...
- Shut the f*ck up.

- Apparently, she's pregnant.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

♪♪

-We're just kidding, guys.
I'm sorry.

-No. No, no, no.
We're not kidding.

-No. This is really a lie.

-I definitely fell for that.

-We have way too much time
on our hands.

-There wouldn't have even been
enough time

to know she got pregnant.
[ Cheers and applause ]

-I don't know.

-Your face was brilliant,
by the way.

-We've been pranking everyone
with that same f*cking joke,

and I fell for it.

- Did you really believe that?
- Yes!

Like, "Damn! They want him
in the hideaway? sh*t." Like...

-Yeah.
So I was like... [ Gasps ]

"No."

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Wow.

-We believed that sh*t away.
[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Don't move a muscle,
because after the break,

we find out our panel
predictions for the final week.

And queen bee of the island
Ariana Madix returns.

See you in a few.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Welcome back to "Aftersun."

And a huge welcome back
to Ariana Madix and our panel.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Okay. Ariana,

what surprises are in store
for the islanders this week?

What can you tell us?

-Okay, so, we have the
Raise Your Heart Rate challenge,

which of course you guys know.
- Everyone's favorite.

-Yes. Dressed in sexy costumes,
dancing for their life.

-Yay!
I've been waiting for that one.

-Yeah. Kassy will be coming in
during that.

-Yes. So excited.

-And that will be a surprise,

so no one's knowing
that she's coming

-In her lingerie?

- Yes.
- Ooh!

- Awesome. Madness.
- Yeah.

-But she's not the only
person coming in during that.

Maura, you'll be coming in.
- Yeah! It's me! [ Laughs ]

-And you'll be revealing
the public vote.

- Yes. I will.
- Scary stuff.

Scary stuff.
- Islanders...

they'll be doing their slo-mo
walks out of the Villa

with their suitcases
and sexy costumes.

- Oh!
- [ Laughs ]

-I just can't wait to see
how it all unfolds, honestly.

I don't even know
what to expect anymore.

- I know! Yeah.
- Same.

-I stopped trying
to make predictions.

- Yeah.
- I was wrong every time.

[ Laughter ]
- Literally.

Okay. Something we do need
to address.

Fans are obviously
very, very passionate

about the show this year.
- Yes.

-What's one big thing

that's just flooding into DMs
right now,

like, for everyone.
- Yeah.

The fans, I think,
are overwhelmingly passionate

and concerned about Leah.
- Mm-hmm.

-And I think they're seeing
Rob and Aaron

as somehow able
to kind of get away with things.

And I think
that they're coming from it

from a place
of obviously love and concern,

and we love our girls
in that Villa, of course.

- Yeah. Yeah, we do.
- Yeah.

I mean, when you were...

Well, all of you guys,
when you were in,

how did you feel
about stuff like that?

-You know, when you came out,

was there anything
that you saw maybe online

that in a similar vein.

-When you first come out,

like, it's obviously
very, very different.

Luckily, there's people there
to help you with that

and, like, a full support team

like,
which all of these islanders

are gonna be getting
when they leave the show.

But I just feel like
you're gonna get negative...

Like, not everyone's
gonna like you.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's right. Yeah.

-Yeah. I just feel like
at the beginning,

it's obviously hard,
because it's a new life,

and, like, everyone knows
who you are,

and it can be scary.

-There's a shock factor to that.
Yeah.

-And I think
people need to remember that,

that these people
are real people

and they all have feelings.

Just because you've watched
them on a TV show

does not mean that you know
these people inside out.

- Mm-hmm. Exactly.
- And be kind always.

That's what I say,

-Leaving any sort of hate
comment on anyone's page,

regardless of how you feel
about them on a show.

-Like, they all have families,

like, reading those comments
and stuff.

Just, like,
there's just no need for it.

-Yeah. And I feel like
the islanders are so good

about, like, they're going
through things in there

and living it at their 100%.

And they're so good
about, like, moving on

after something crazy
has happened

or even just communicating like
how they feel in that moment,

like, even the moment with,
like, Leah and Rob and stuff.

Like, they talk about it,
and then they move on.

And, like, Leah is doing great
with Miguel now.

Like, you know, they understand,

like, they're here to live
their lives to the fullest

and to share that with people.

So it's just like let's have
some... I don't know.

- Love and support.
- Yeah. That's it.

-I second exactly what you said.

Like, you know, you can have
an argument with somebody,

and within, like,
the hour or two,

you could make up with that
person and be good as gold

and have the best time of
your life in that environment.

- It's an incredible show.
- It is.

-Even sitting up here
on this panel

having as much fun as I am here,

I look down there,
I'm thinking, "Oh, I'd love

to go down there again!"
- A bit jealous.

-You know?
[ Laughter ]

-Yeah. And everyone wants
to look back at this experience

and just have happy memories.
- That's right. Yeah.

-Like, you're gonna go
your ups and downs,

but you're gonna learn
so much about yourself.

- 100%, yeah. 100%.
- You know?

-Perspective is very invaluable
in these kinds of experiences,

I mean, I don't know
what it's like

to, like, live that experience.

We have kind of a parallel,
similar experience

of, like,
putting your life out there

for public consumption.

You got to build that tough,
thick skin.

But they'll get there, you know?

But I can't imagine
going from, like, living

in this, like, sort of, like,
vacuum to, like, coming out.

And it is just
an entirely different world.

-Yeah. And seeing all that stuff
on social media, as well.

- Yeah.
- Like, that's so daunting.

-It's better
just to not look at it,

because... I don't know.

If I don't f*ck with something,
the last thing I'm doing

is, like, going
and interacting with it.

-But, you know, obviously,
I do think it is cool,

you know, we have such
a passionate audience

and an audience that is loving
this season and loving the show.

And I just hope
people are being nice.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.
- Aw!

Well, give it up
for Ariana Madix

and our panel, everyone.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Right. That's all from us
here on "Aftersun."

We'll be here next Saturday.
Have a good week.

And remember, be kind.

[ Clicks tongue ] Good night.

[ Cheers and applause ]
