07x22 - Episode 22

[bunniefuu]

Last night on "Love Island USA"...

A fresh start...

"You can couple up and
return to the Villa together."

Me and you couple up.

I've been wanting to get to know you.

This text is the perfect
opportunity to do that.

Nic, what the f*ck?

- Good morning, Islanders!
- Good morning, Islanders!

I just want you to know
nothing's changed for me.

You ain't got nothing to worry about.

- Thank you.
- I got two girls at one time.

Like, I don't know what the hell to do.

A raunchy race...

My God!

The winner is...

Casa Amor!

- Casa.
- No way!

What?

I'm trying to see if
there's anything outside

of the challenges.

Nicky.

And a kiss no one saw coming.

Islanders, it's now time to decide

who you want to couple up with.

The Casa recoupling.

Welcome to "Love Island USA."

Nic and Olandria
have just kissed in Soul Ties.

It's a combo that feels
so wrong, but also so right,

like Ed Sheeran acting
in "Game of Thrones,"

or Sabrina Carpenter
appearing in "Fortnite."

Okay.
Let me see.

My whole lip combo is gone.
Look at my lip combo.

Is mine good?

No.
You got chocolate on your face.

I love that.

This is so crazy.

Cierra's gonna freak out.

Seeing you here?

That.
Knowing that you was gone.

And knowing that we a new couple.

What the...

Me and Nic did kiss in Soul Ties.

Internally, I am going f*cking crazy,

but on the outside,
I'm gonna smile through it.

We're in a couple, we decided to
explore, and that's just that.

But I don't trust these girls.
I don't know them.

And the boys, just
like, they cool and sh*t,

but it's like, that's not...
I don't want to tell them that.

So it's just like, damn,
I got to sit on

all this new information
until my girls show back up.

Where y'all were at?

Something that starts with a "Soul"

- and end with "Ties"?
- No.

We was at the daybeds.

Worry about your business.

Your business.

Thank you, thank you.

Aww. Thanks.

- Keeping Olandria warm.
- Ooh!

We gotta get you a handshake now
that you been...

- I know, right?
- You done been initiated.

We don't even have a handshake.

- Ain't that something?
- Who? Who?

Me and you. I don't got a
handshake with nobody.

Maybe you just not liked.

Maybe.

Maybe. sh*t.

We've all seen the film
"How to Lose a Guy in ten Days."

Well, here's the "Love Island" version...

"How to Lose a Girl in ten Seconds."

- That was a good challenge.
- Was it fun?

That was fun as f*ck.

It was fine. I f*cking had to
carry all your slack, man.

- No, no. Definitely...
- I did.

I can tell you like being dominant.

You.

No, I think I had to
lead your a*s to help you.

No, no, no.
You like being dominant.

I do, but I had to help you.

You were just trying to be dominant,

and I'm not someone
who likes to be dominated.

It was, like, combative.

Well, find someone submissive.

You were trying to do too much.

I was like, "What is she doing?"

And then you got your head in the game.

Sure.

You got your head in the game for sure.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- Okay, good talk.
- Yeah.

That's why we lost ours.

- The Villa may have lost
the game to Casa Amor,

but Ace isn't taking it lying down.

No, wait.
No, he... he is.

- Are you the jealous type?
- No.

- No?
- I'm not jealous at all.

- Yeah. Are you jealous type?
- No, I'm not jealous.

I'm just overprotective about mine,

especially when I'm heavily invested.

Like, as far as jealous,
I'm not jealous.

- I'm just...
- It's giving you are.

I'm not... I'm not...
Listen, listen.

- I'm not jealous.
- It's giving jealous.

I'm not jealous, but...

- Stand in your truth, babes.
- I don't play with that sh*t.

- I'm dead a*s.
- Okay.

I've been through some sh*t.

I've been let down a lot of times.

It takes me a little bit of time
to get to know somebody

to fully trust them...

- Yeah.
- And I don't trust easily.

And that's been, like,
my number-one issue in life.

- Yeah, I can relate.
- Exactly, so...

I am not that kind of person

that just trusts people off the rip.

- Yeah.
- No.

I'm trying to do the full experience

of giving her a chance
to actually get to know her

without Chelley being on my mind.

Every chat with CoCo keeps getting better.

It's kind of scary, because
we do have a lot in common.

I'm not an open book.

Like, I'm a book you got to come and, like,

seek and then look in and,
like, go through the pages

to kind of, like, get, like, a glimpse.

But I'm not, like, already
opening this b*tch like...

Yeah.

You know? Like...

That sh*t was poetic as hell.
I like that.

Thanks.
I mean, you know, like...

Since Hannah left, basketball player Pepe

has really hit it off with Gracyn.

What can I say?

The guy's just really good at rebounds.

You're welcome, America.

How you feeling?

How was it?
I know you're a little nervous.

I know I was nervous.

Your parents are tossing
and turning and watching it.

Stop. Don't.

Your mom's doing this right now.

No, stop. Don't even
make me think about it.

Don't even make me think about that.

She's like this.

Do you feel like I'm, like,
any different from,

like, the first time you met me?

You still seem very shy and timid.

- But it was like...
- Are you kidding me?

A little bit, yeah.

You do look beautiful.

- Thank you.
- I like you in red.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Come here.

With Pepe, I think he's
trying to be really respectful

and, like, take it slow.

You know, a sweet, like, innocent kiss,

and I think that's really nice.

Like, it felt very genuine
and, like, authentic.

Like, we just...
You know, you just kind of,

like, feel like it.

You are cute.

You blush every time I...

- Do I actually?
- Yeah.

Your face gets red every time we kiss.

It's my nose.

I have, like, a
permanently, like, red nose.

Yeah. That's cute.

You're blushing.

Sorry to be a pain, guys.

Before you go to bed,
I left my emergency jar

of Nutella in the makeup room,
and it's gone missing.

Has anyone seen it?

We had a conversation
at the f*cking fire pit.

Y'all, that was a terrible conversation.

He's over here c*ck as f*ck.

You guys would be so f*cking proud of me.

It took everything in me
to just shut the f*ck up.

I said, "Good chat,"
and I got up and I left.

I don't know what the f*ck
they put in these potato chips.

I literally just ate the whole jar.

Me and Pepe just kissed.

You know what? We did.

Yay! Good.

It's scary, because it's
like my type on paper,

through and through.

But I already built
something with somebody.

Yeah.

Do you guys, like, have a "hear me out"?

Like, someone who's not necessarily,

like, super, like, hot,
but, like, you would still hit.

Like Mrs. Puff from "SpongeBob."

No. Like, that's...

Stop!

I'm about to cry.

Sleeping in Casa Amor...

Over in the Villa...

- Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

No one panic.
I found my Nutella.

Well, I had to scrape it off Huda's face

in the middle of the night,
but it did go lovely

with my pancake this morning.

Good morning, islanders.

Good morning, everyone.

Aah! Zak!

I just have this feeling in my stomach

that there's some really bad
things happening over there.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Did I hear a kiss last night?

Probably heard him kissing my forehead.

- Okay.

Thank you so much.

- My gosh. The avocado.
- Have a good morning, ladies.

My C-shaped pancake.
Like, so cute.

Also, like, you know,
I just 100% don't know

what they've been doing over there.

When we're chatting, she's
saying all the right things.

Yeah, but has she ever mentioned, like,

being a slow burner or sh*t like that?

- Cause I feel like she's not.
- Maybe she's just not

feeling it though, too.
I don't know.

- Good morning, Amaya.
- Good morning, JD.

How are you?

- Morning, ladies!
- Good morning!

Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.
- Thank you.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

How are things going with Vanna?

Like, it's good.
Like, she's cool.

- What about you and Gracyn?
- Things are good. Yeah.

I don't know what
Taylor's gonna do. though.

- I'm kind of getting nervous.
- Me too.

Thank you, Tay-Tay.

Amaya is chatting to
international model Zak.

I recently missed out
on a chance to be a hand model.

What can I say?

The opportunity slipped through my fingers!

- Yeah. How you doing? You good?
- I'm good. How are you?

I feel good. Yeah.
Because I feel like, um...

You know, the connection between me and you

as the day goes on is getting stronger.

Yeah. For sure.
Like, I know, like, JD, like,

brings me breakfast upstairs
and everything like that.

But at the end of the day, like,
I am vibing with you more.

- Just to be clear, you know.
- No, no, no, it's fine.

- He's showing you interest.
- Yeah, for sure.

I can't be mad at him for that.

- Yeah.
- He's my boy.

Like, if I was interested in
a girl and she was coupled up,

I'd be doing the same thing.
Cause end of the day, like,

- you got to show that effort.
- Show that effort. Exactly.

- Do you know what I'm saying?
- No. 100%.

And that's what I like about you, too,

is that you don't get intimidated

- and you're not insecure about that.
- He's my brother.

I like the fact that I
feel safe around you.

I do like Amaya.
I feel like she's a great girl,

and I feel like there is
a lot more for us both

to explore about each other.

Whatever we're doing
right now, it's working.

Don't rush anything.
Don't push for anything.

Because that's when the cracks will start

breaking into the boat, you know?

So, for now, I feel like if we both
keep doing what we're doing,

it could actually potentially
lead to somewhere great.

Now, you really do have, like,

a great aura and vibe to you.

And, like, not only do you check up on me,

but, like, you check up
on the guys and the girls,

- and that's really cute to see.
- Nah. You know what it is?

Because obviously, like, I've
been raised by a single mum.

You know what I'm saying?

And I take care of my little brother.

I take care of everybody back at home.

And I've always been that guy,

regardless of what the situation is like.

You know, I'm a very, very big family man.

- Yeah.
- And I feel like I hold, like,

the root of the tree of my family,

like, taking care of everybody, you know?

I really do love the fact that
you do bring that, you know?

That's what... I appreciate
that you noticed that.

We're on the same page, babe.

- Okay.
- Give me a kiss.

Okay.

Um, so I didn't ask you last night,

but our little thing in Soul Ties...

I just wanted to gauge
where you were at with that.

Why does it have to be me first?

- I could go first.
- Yeah. Go first.

Um, this feels weird for me,

like, to be in a couple with you.

- Pursuing. Yeah.
- In a way.

- Right.
- Because, like, I really

enjoy, like, you know,
talking to you, actually,

and not just, you know, being around you.

Yeah.

Um, so I really wanted
to discover if there was,

like, a romantic thing between us.

But, um, I think, like, last night, for me,

that kiss outside of the challenge

was probably the truest test to that.

Agreed.

Um, but at the same time,

I felt like my mind was wandering

while it was happening.

And I was thinking about, like, Taylor.

- I was thinking about...
- Literally.

- Cierra.
- Same.

- Okay.
- I'm glad it's just not me.

After we kissed, um,

immediately I'm like, "Okay, this was fun."

- Yeah.
- But it's just like...

I just don't think romantically,
like, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I think we're better off
just, you know, how we were.

- You know what I mean?
- I'm on the same page.

- And I'm fine with that.
- Yeah.

I think going into that
conversation, it was mutual.

You know, I think
Taylor has always been

the one for Olandria.

And she knows how I feel about Cierra.

So I think it's just better
that we're friends.

And, you know, in the challenges,

we like to go hard together,

and I think it's fine
to just stay with that.

What is your thoughts
about Clarke and Taylor?

Obviously, it's hard to see.

We're really not in the couple no more.
That sh*t just hit me hard.

It's crazy.
You don't really realize it

- until it's gone... kind of thing.
- Bro!

It's just kind of ironic
because I felt like

I was the one who came
to Cierra and was like,

"We need these tests in our relationship."

And now you're like, "No, we don't!"

Now I'm, like, the butt of the test.

But, like, you know, that's what this is.

Like, it can't just be one-sided.

It has to be tested all the time.

I am so happy that we both
have the same realization.

Like, you know what?
I like the way we were.

And we don't have to take it that far.

- Yeah.
- But it's just like, damn.

Like, obviously, like,
seeing Taylor with Clarke

- puts a knot in my throat.
- Yeah.

I don't want to see this sh*t.

Like, what the f*ck?

Jaden's always found Austin
to be very open-hearted,

and it's becoming more and
more apparent by the day.

What... What is this scar from?

- I had open heart surgery.
- No way!

Yeah, when I was four months old.

- What?!
- Yeah.

And then that was where
the feeding tube was.

What was wrong?

- My valves were, like, small in my heart,

so they had to, like, open them
and then, like, widen them up.

Yeah.

Did you ever have any crazy
surgeries or crazy traumatics?

Just freaking diabetes.

How'd you find out that you had it?

I actually went in for a sports physical,

and then that's how we found out.

Wow. Really?

Yeah. What the hell?
That's crazy.

Any, like, lasting relationship I've had,

like, we've been friends first,

and, like, you know, it's
led up to a longer relationship,

and, like, that's very much
what I'm looking for in here.

So I think it's good that I take my time.

Does any, like, scary things happen,

like, if you have diabetes or no?

If I'm too low, like, I could pass out.

How many times have you passed out?

Literally less than five.

Wow. That's pretty...
I feel like I'd pass out

all the time because I'm just not...

I'm not really responsible
with anything that I do.

- Huda wants to see if her
and Chris can see eye-to-eye.

Well, quickly! Go now!
He's lying down!

Otherwise, you'll need a stepladder!

The man's six'8".

- Okay.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- I'm doing well.

- How you doing?
- I'm good. Um...

So how are you feeling about Chelley?

I wouldn't say stressed out.
But I'm in a weird position.

Um, of course, you know,
like, I really do like Chelley.

But, also, I know that

what she has back at the Villa
is very strong,

and she's made that clear, like...

Is there anyone else
that you wanted to talk to?

Um, you.

Yeah, I wanted
to talk to you initially,

but then when I had seen,
like, how, you know,

you and Chelley were and everything
And I love her to death.

So it's like when I seen
you guys, where I was like...

I didn't know how this
was all gonna play out.

But, yeah, like, I knew
how much you liked her,

so I never wanted to, like, mess with that.

- Do you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah. Yeah, I get you.

Where are you from again?

Um, a little... small town
in California called Fresno.

- Fresno. I know Fresno.
- Yeah, but, um...

I live in L.A., so I'm basically in L.A.

Okay. Are you gonna stay
there for your whole life?

You know, after living
overseas for a while,

I kind of see myself
going overseas somewhere

and, like, starting a life out there.

But if that's not the plan,
it's not the plan.

I'm a big family person.

I got seven sisters and two brothers.

Seven sisters and two brothers?

- I'm the youngest.
- I got four older siblings.

I got three sisters and one brother.

Like, all of them are in relationships.

So it's like I've always been
the single one in the family.

Really?

- Damn.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- You know?

- I get you.
- Do you have hobbies or no?

Just hot yoga, and like I said,
I have a lot of sisters,

so I have like 14, 15 nieces and nephews.

So I'm always, like, being
that uncle. On uncle status.

- Yeah. Good. Good for you.
- Amen.

- Good.
- Huda's very fun.

She's witty. She's gorgeous.

Chelley is still my number one,

but it definitely gives me
something to think about.

And it's on my mind now, so we'll see.

I do find you very attractive,

um, and I have since I got in here.

You know what I mean?
And I didn't expect to, like,

vibe with you as much as I do and have.

I'm just in a weird position right now.

I understand. Cool?

Olandria has got a lot on her plate.

She nearly got dumped,
all her girls are in Casa,

and her man is chatting to another woman.

At least now she can sit down
on the sofa and unwind.

Before you get comfortable,
Olandria,

do you...
Can I pull you for a chat?

Yeah. Come on.

sh*t. Clarke and Olandria.

Yeah.

I don't think she wants to be her friend.

Yeah.

A talk with us is overdue.

It's obviously a little weird...-

Because I feel like

my strongest connection
is your strongest connection.

- Yeah.
- Obviously I respect you,

but it's like I don't want
to do myself a disservice

by not exploring, like, Taylor.

Right. Yeah.

Seeing, like, how, like,
touchy-feely y'all were,

it was like, "Damn. It took us
forever to get there."

So, like, seeing him be
physical with a brand-new girl,

I was like, "What the f*ck?"

It's hard to not compare,

but we're two different people
at the end of the day.

- Right.
- So it's gonna be different.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- I'd be scared if I was you.
- What?

This is quite the predicament
you got yourself in.

Man.

It's not cool having
two girls in one house.

Yeah, you big shark around here, man.

And they both got on black.

You got a whole photo album with them both.

sh*t.

I get I had way more time.

I might be more physical up front

cause it's like you're here for
such a limited amount of time.

- Yeah.
- I've been here 20-some days,

so I had time to build on that.

So I can't even get mad that y'all

approached y'all's connection in that way

- because it's like, I get it.
- Yeah.

Like, it was hard to hear,
but it's like, you know,

I'm so proud of him
for testing our connection.

This sh*t sucks,
but I feel like me and Taylor

have truly tested our connection
in every which way possible.

Me and Taylor's connection
is very, very real for me.

Like, I don't like that
it's being called a test.

But at the end of the
day, although Olandria

has had more time with Taylor,

if we were given that amount of
time, it could only be stronger.

I'm just gonna be so confident
with what me and Taylor have

and to continue to nurture our connection

because although y'all are in a couple,

it doesn't really stop me
and Taylor from still...

- For sure. Yeah, yeah.
- You get what I'm saying?

I think this would be,
like, the ultimate test

for me and Taylor.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Now, I'm not saying
it's easier being a man,

but one person here is fighting
for their partner's affections

in a pair of seven-inch heels.

The other is choosing between
two beautiful women...

In slippers.

How is it being coupled up
with old Nicky-poo?

Um, it's been quite the
experience, to say the least.

Why do you say that?

So yesterday, after the challenge,

we did kiss in Soul Ties.

And I felt like...

At first I'm like, "Bro,
now I feel guilty,"

cause, like, I'm close to Cierra.

I know he's close with you.

But it just clarified everything.

Like, okay, he's cute,

but I don't think I
look at him in that way.

So we both was like, "Yeah."

The kiss was cute and all,"
but like, no, we don't...

I don't feel it, he don't feel it.

So I'm like, "Thank God."

Cause I didn't want that
to be a whole nother thing.

Give me some fan.

So I feel like that conversation went good.

- It did.
- She said something like

she wants him to, like,
test their connection.

- But for me...
- It's not a test to you.

- At all, like, I'm...
- I'm not a test.

Yeah, I would hope not to be a test.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- You know, like...

Our time is, like, limited here.

- Yeah.
- So you got to dial in.

And if you actually want to, like,

keep exploring, like, that connection,

because I don't think he seems
like he's ready to stop,

like, getting to know you.

Time is ticking.

I know.

What's going on?

In a good headspace, at least...

- At least I think I am.
- Why are you not confident

that you're in a good headspace?

- Just 'cause, you know?
- She is an amazing girl.

She did pull me earlier,
which I was so shocked.

But I commend her for pulling me

cause I had no plans of pulling her.

I didn't care to.

Y'all kind of got
similarities a little bit.

I'm gonna need you
to stop comparing me to people.

I'm just saying.

Damn, I can't say somebody similar?

- Yeah.
- f*ck.

Me and Clarke, we
just got hella comfortable

- with each other super fast.
- Yeah.

Connection being more physical
and intimate upfront.

I guess that would make more sense, too,

cause, like, we had time to get there

versus y'all had a few days.

Okay, don't be, like,
we in the room f*cking.

No, I'm not saying that.

When I say intimate,
I don't think about sex.

I think about, like, kissing, and touching

and things like that.

Taylor's connection with Clarke
is a lot more physical upfront.

We all know that that doesn't last.

It's going to take one bad b*tch
to come in here

and just rip him away from me,

because I feel like what me and Taylor have

is like no other.

So I want to know about
your last relationship.

He was basically me in,
like, boy form, almost.

In a way, you know?

Obviously, you guys look very, very...

- Do we look alike?
- Very similar, yeah.

- sh*t.
- I feel like I never had, like,

to question, um, anything,
like, from the beginning,

you know what I mean?

Or with, like, even with you,
I'm like,

"I do not know what this guy is
thinking at any point in time,

literally at all."

- I'm mysterious.
- But I think maybe it's the RBF.

- Yeah, probably.
- It's giving me mixed signals,

like, all the time,
so I just never, like...

I think it kind of
throws me off a little bit,

- I'm not going to lie.
- Really?

I'm not used to it.

It could grow on me.

I just got to figure it out
first a little bit.

I don't know what you
want me to do about it.

I can't really do much about my face.

I know.

That's what I look like.
That's what my mother gave me.

Vanna is a great person

and I think we get along,

and she's easy to talk to.

But I find myself wondering
what Iris is doing over in Casa,

and I do find myself
missing her a little bit.

I'm glad we had this conversation.

Me too.

Come here.

Do I have body glitter
all over me now or what?

Aw, man. Probably.

Now you're really going to look like

a little Hollister model.

Is your hair naturally curly?

- Yeah.
- I'm a sucker for curls.

- That's why I ask.
- Yeah. No, I have curls.

Okay, good. That means
you're a sucker for me.

My God. Who was that?

Holy sh*t. There's a text.

No.

I got a text!

- sh*t.
- sh*t.

Who got a text?

What?

I got a text!

sh*t.

- No way.
- sh*t.

Chelley, don't be scaring me.

My God.

Chelley, what?

- Ooh, sh*t.

Wow.

sh*t finna get real.

I need my baby girl back.

f*ck!

Aww.

What the hell?

The day has came

where I got to pick between two girls.

I got to hurt someone's feelings.

And I don't want to hurt
nobody's feelings in here, man.

- We're going back tonight.
- Holy sh*t.

- Interesting.

My God.
This is gonna be insane.

I honestly feel like
I'm about to cry.

I love to call myself a sensitive gangster.

So here I am crying again.

Because...

It's, like, overwhelming.

Casa Amor has been wonderful for me.

And I formed two great connections here,

both with Zak and with JD.

So it is going to be
a tough decision to make,

not only for me,
but for the girls, for the guys.

Some sh*t is really
going to go down tonight.

I feel like we're about to
really walk into some

crazy a*s circus.

I'm really freaking out right now.

I wish I knew, like, how TJ,
like, really felt about me.

Like, does he actually, like,

see something, like,
the way I felt a spark?

My God. I feel like
I have to go with my gut.

I don't want to, like, have regrets.

It's just, like, such a
confusing situation.

f*ck his head up a little more.

Man, man, man.
I'm torn, bro, I'm torn.

I really don't know
which direction to go, bro.

How do you feel, actually, that
you know Chelley coming back

and you and CoCo got something going?

sh*t.

I miss Chelley.
I miss her every single day.

But I love CoCo because
she's confident in who she is

and that's my type.

I'm torn between two beautiful,
intelligent women.

My blood pressure is through the damn roof.

How are you feeling about Chris and Ace?

This is crazy.

They're very different.

I just hope this doesn't result in

someone having to go home.

I'm, like, torn.

With Ace, I feel very strongly.

Now, Chris, he's just as great.
He's amazing.

So it's, like, what the actual f*ck?

Everything that we've
shared here in this experience

has been really impactful for me.

I want to put my energy towards you.

I have something really strong over there.

That doesn't mean that
I don't have something here.

I'm probably just going to
be thinking about everything

until the last minute.

Now I have these two
great guys in front of me.

I can see a future with the both of them.

I'm just trying to listen

to what my heart is telling me to do.

I'm really torn between
y'all, to be honest.

Like, I don't know which way I'm gonna...

Which way I'm gonna go.

She's a great girl, you're a great girl.

I feel like we built
something so much more stronger

than just the Villa.

It's always just been you for me.

Since the beginning, it was always you.

And I feel like it will always be you.

I've never tried so hard
to fight for something. Ever.

I'm petrified.

Forget terrified, I'm petrified.

I'm torn between Olandria,
torn between Clarke.

I have no damn clue what I'm finna do.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

The recoupling is
looming, so all that's left

for our Casa boys
is to do what they do best...

Slightly misuse gambling analogies.

- I laid my cards out and I'm
just going to figure out now,

did I get the jackpot?

I'm just sitting around waiting

for the f*cking dealer to tell me.

I feel like I've
been driving myself crazy trying

to decide between head and heart.

I was just looking at Chris
all day, and I'm like,

the tiniest part of me, though,

is just second-guessing a little bit.

So, I was, like, interested
in talking to Chris and, like,

pulled him for one chat.

- I found him attractive.
- Okay.

I have no other options currently,

so it's like if Chris
is expressing interest in me,

by all means, I would love
to explore that, as well.

Yeah. You know what?

Okay. It does sound like a great idea.

- Yeah.
- I love you.

I love you, too, girl.

The only reason why I feel nervous is

if we walk in there and she look at Ace...

And the feelings come back?

Yes.

I'm terrified for what's about to happen.

So going into this,
I feel, like, very uneasy.

- This is some sh*t, y'all.
- You're telling me, girl.

- I don't know what
Chelley's been doing over there.

The thing is, with CoCo, we ain't had not

one bad conversation.

Tonight finna be an
emotional roller coaster.

I know what I'm doing
tonight and I'm all in.

Tonight is a huge night.

I'm going back between
confidence and nerves.

I'm not ready to leave
the Villa twice in three days.

Just trying to pray the anxiety away.

- Yo, I'm sorry.
- What? Wow.

She is playing mad offense right now.

Offense.

Yeah. This is still lit.

I don't really know
what Taylor's torn about.

Me personally,

I don't think I would be torn
within three days,

especially when I see this other
person putting in hella work.

I don't know. I ain't trying to
be messy, but...

My heart is telling me...

sh*t, I don't know, to be honest.

It's now time for the Islanders to return

from Casa back to the Villa.

Big decisions are going to be made tonight,

and I anticipate tears,
I anticipate heartbreak,

and everything is going to be
different after tonight.

Here she comes... Queen of the
Villa, Ariana Madix.

I heard it was her birthday recently.

Happy birthday, Ariana.

I'm sure my invite was lost in the mail.

Ariana!

Hi, Islanders.

- Hey, girl.
- Hi, Barbie!

Long time, no see.

- Yes.
- Long time no see.

Well, I have to say, it feels
good to have my girls home.

- We missed you.
- We missed you.

I'm sure you guys are dying

to know what's been going on in the Villa.

- Yes.
- For sure.

- Aren't we all?
- Yeah, spill the tea.

Please.

Do we want to know?

Debatable.

- Right.
- Ooh!

Fair.

As you know, the boys have
spent the last few days here

in the Villa with new girls.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

And like you did in Casa Amor,

for the first time ever,

they coupled up with those girls
and explored new connections.

- Okay.
- Of course.

And, of course, just like in Casa Amor,

when the recoupling happened,
one boy didn't get chosen...

And therefore left the Villa.

I think it's time to bring the boys out

and see who they've coupled up with.

Yep.

sh*t.

First up, it's Austin and Jaden.

- Hi, guys. Welcome back.
- Hi, Ariana.

You're looking absolutely gorgeous tonight.

Thank you.

And they're matching, kinda.

You look a little different.

Next, it's TJ...

And Vanna.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- What's going on?
- You both look so tan.

- Appreciate it.
- Good to see you again.

Good to see you.

Always nerve-racking seeing you.

I know.

Our third Villa couple is
Pepe and Gracyn.

Hi. Welcome back.

You look gorgeous.
My gosh.

- I love that dress.
- Thank you.

- Stunning.
- Thank you.

Next up...

Ace...

And CoCo.

What the f*ck?

Wow.

- You guys look nice.
- Thank you.

- You look good, too.
- Thank you. Thank you.

There's only one new girl left.

But did she couple up with Taylor or Nic?

What?

Who is it?

- It's Taylor.
- It's Taylor.

Please welcome
Taylor and Clarke.

- Hi. You both look great.
- Thank you. You too.

You know,
I was preparing myself to see

him standing here with someone else.

But I don't think
I prepared myself

to not see him standing here at all.

So I'm just... shocked.

Yeah.

I'm really happy all of you
boys are still here.

I missed you all a lot.

But that really f*cking sucks.

So, boys, as you can see,

the girls have returned from
Casa Amor in their new couples.

We have Huda and JD...

Amaya and Zak...

Iris and Zac...

Andreina and Bryan...

Chelley and Chris...

And Cierra and Elan.

I nearly forgot.

There is one more couple still to join us.

What?

What?!

My God!

You made it!

- Yo.
- I was not expecting that.

My God!
My God!

I missed you.

- I could not live that way.
- My God!

My God.

I got so much tea for you b*tches.

My God!

That's no shot.

That's someone she's not seen in ages.

That's just who she's comfortable with.

That's true, that's true.

End of day, like, whatever happens, like,

yo, it is what it is, man.

- You're right.
- You're bad, bro.

You're right, you're right.
Appreciate you.

I looked so much better
before I started crying.

I wish you could have seen it.

Don't you ever leave me again.

My f*cking God. b*tch,
I was crying for 48 hours.

Girl, we crashed out for you, girl.

I swear to God.

Olandria and Nic were not chosen

and therefore left
Casa Amor and the Villa.

But they were given a lifeline...

The chance to recouple
and return to the Villa.

And they took it.

Cierra, how are you feeling about this?

I'm feeling much better now.

I feel so happy.

I feel so relieved to see the both of them.

Like, I'm really happy you're here.

Especially you, Nic.

Olandria, how do you feel
seeing your girls again?

I feel so good.

I literally have not had an
appetite since I left you guys.

I love you all so deep.
Like, y'all don't understand.

It's time to find out

how strong these new connections are.

My God.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

The islanders are all back in the Villa,

which means it's time
for our biggest recoupling yet.

Islanders...

It's now time to decide
who you want to couple up with.

Have you found a new connection
that you want to continue?

Or would you rather try
and reconnect with the person

you were with before Casa Amor?

In a moment,

I'm gonna ask you to write down
the name of the islander

you want to couple up with.

However, to recouple with that person,

they must also have
your name on their board.

If you match with another islander,

you'll be coupled up.

If not, you will be single and vulnerable.

Okay.

Please write down the name of the islander

you want to couple up with now.

Okay, let's get this started.

First up is Austin.

Please go and stand in the center.

Austin, you're currently
in a couple with Jaden.

Before Casa Amor,
you were in a couple with Amaya.

In a moment, we'll find out
who you want to couple up with.

But first, if anyone has written
Austin's name on their board,

please go and join him.

Jaden, let's see your board.

Why did you want to couple up with Austin?

I wanted to couple up with Austin

because he's sweet, he's hilarious.

He's a gentleman and I love that
he is 100% himself all the time.

Well, before we find out if you're a match,

has anyone else written down
Jaden's name on their board?

Okay, Jaden, no one else has chosen you.

Yes.

Let's see if Austin
has written down your name.

If he has, you will remain a couple.

If not, you will both be single
and vulnerable.

Austin, let's see your board.

We have a match.

Yay!

Austin, what made you choose Jaden?

I chose Jaden

because I've been really excited
since she's here.

And, yeah, I feel like I can
very much be myself around her.

Congratulations,
Austin and Jaden,

you remain a couple.

Please go and take a seat.

Next up is Amaya.

Please go and stand in the center.

Whoo!

- That's my girl.
- Damn, girl.

- Beautiful.
- I think princess.

Amaya, you're coupled up with Zak with a K.

Before Casa Amor, you were
in a couple with Austin,

who is now with Jaden.

In a moment, we'll find out
who you want to couple up with.

But, boys, if you've written
Amaya's name on your board,

please go and join her.

Zak, why did you want to
couple up with Amaya?

I just think she's a proper sweet girl.

She wears her heart on her sleeve.

And, yeah, the more I get to know her,

the more I'm liking her.

JD, you're currently coupled up with Huda.

What made you choose Amaya?

She's always able to be herself,

and I feel super comfortable around her,

so I like where it's going.

Amaya, let's see what
name is on your board.

Zak.

We have a match.

Congratulations, Amaya and Zak.

That's my girl.

JD, I'm afraid you didn't match
with any of the girls.

So you are now single and vulnerable.

Please make your way over there.

Amaya, why did you choose Zak?

There was a spark there.

This is someone that
I could see having fun with

in the real universe.

Okay. Are you relieved?

Yeah, yeah. Like, proper.

Amaya and Zak, you remain a couple.

Yes, girl, yes!

Get it, girl!

I love you guys.

Love you!

Next up is Pepe.

Pepe was single going into Casa Amor,

and is now coupled up with Gracyn.

If you've written
Pepe's name on your board,

please go and join him.

- Pepe.
- Gracyn.

We have a match.

Congratulations,
Gracyn and Pepe,

you remain a couple.

Next is Andreina.

Andreina was single going into Casa

and now is coupled up with Bryan.

If you've written
Andreina's name on your board,

please go and join her.

Andreina.

Bryan.

Congratulations,
Andreina and Brian,

you remain a couple.

Next is TJ.

TJ was exploring his connection
with Iris before Casa Amor

and is now coupled up with Vanna.

If you've written
TJ's name on your board,

please go and join him.

If anyone else has either
written Iris or Vanna's name

down on their board,
please go and join them now.

Zac, let's see who is on your board.

Iris.

Zac, I'm sorry.

I'm afraid you are now single.

Please join JD.

Iris and Vanna,

it's now time to see
if TJ has chosen either of you.

Iris.

We have a match.

Iris and TJ, you are now a couple.

Vanna, I'm afraid you didn't
get a match with TJ.

You are now single.

- Bummer.
- Please head over here.

Okay.

We have a brand new couple...

Iris and TJ.

Next is Ace.

Please go and stand in the center.

Come on, Ace.

Ace, you are currently
in a couple with CoCo.

Before Casa Amor, you were
in a couple with Chelley.

In a moment, we'll find out
who you want to couple up with.

But first, if anyone has written
Ace's name on your board...

please go and join him.

Girls, let's see who's on your board.

Ace.

Ace.

CoCo, why did you choose Ace?

I chose Ace because he's super sweet.

He never hesitated
to just make me feel special

and really just take care of me.

Like, I couldn't take
a step off the stairway

without him putting his hand out.

Chelley, what makes you
want to recouple with Ace?

Well, I know Ace and I
have a very strong connection.

And going to Casa Amor

only made me feel stronger about it.

And I know I missed him a lot
when I was over there.

Has anyone else written Chelley
or CoCo's name

down on their board?

Chelley and CoCo,

let's see if Ace has picked either of you.

Ace, let's see who's on your board.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

We're in the middle of the recoupling,

and it's Ace's turn to decide
will he be with Chelley...

or CoCo.

- Chelley.

Yes! f*ck yeah!

We have a match.

Congratulations,
Chelley and Ace.

You are now a couple.

Yes!

CoCo, you are now single and vulnerable.

Please go and join the others.

- Congrats, y'all.
- Thank you.

- You look stunning.
- You look beautiful.

- Thank you, babies.
- Beautiful.

Hey, baby.

Ace, what made you choose
Chelley?

Man, I missed her every single day.

- Aww!
- Aww!

CoCo is great.

She was an amazing person to get to know.

And I really, really
did miss Chelley, so...

I missed you, too.

Congratulations,
Chelley and Ace.

You are a couple.

Please go and join the others.

It's like watching
a rom-com, man, or some sh*t.

Like...

Next up is Huda.

Huda was single going into Casa Amor

and is now coupled up with JD.

But she's also been getting to know Chris.

Huda, you're in a couple with JD,

but JD wanted to couple up with Amaya.

Did you guys not find a connection?

We didn't find a connection, actually.

It just wasn't a match.
And that's fine.

If you've written
Huda's name on your board,

please go and join her now.

- Hey, big dawg.
- What's good?

Chris, you were coupled up with Chelley.

What made you decide to choose Huda?

After getting to know her,
besides the chats, as well,

she's a great girl.

She's attractive. She's witty.
I can go all day.

But, yeah, I'm glad with my decisions.

All right, Huda.
Let's see who's on your board.

Chris.

We have another brand-new couple!

Congratulations, Huda and Chris!

Huda, what made you choose Chris?

I really think that there is
something there with us.

We always make each other laugh

and make, like, little witty
comments towards one another.

But I also feel like
he never got the opportunity

to explore other connections,
and I wanted to give both of us

equal opportunity to explore
one another and others, as well.

Amazing.
Congratulations, Huda and Chris.

Please go and join the other couples.

Good to see you, bro.

Next up is Cierra.

She is currently in a couple with Elan

but, before Casa, was coupled up with Nic.

Cierra, in a moment, we'll find out

who you want to couple up with,

but first, if anyone has written
Cierra's name on their board,

please go and join her now.

Elan, why did you choose Cierra?

I chose Cierra because
not only is she gorgeous,

but she also has an
incredibly dynamic personality

and never ceases to
surprise me or amaze me.

I feel like I know her
pretty deeply, and, yeah,

I want to continue to explore
the connection that I have.

Nic, why did you choose Cierra?

When I got kicked out of the Villa,

that was kind of a big realization for me

that I never got to say all
of the things I wanted to say.

- Aww!
- Aww!

And when I got back into
the Villa, I realized, like,

this is my second chance to grow us.

- Yeah!
- Aww!

- Incredible!
- Love it!

Cierra, how do you feel
about both of these boys?

Um, I mean,
I feel really grateful

to have two amazing guys
standing in front of me.

I think you're both extremely
incredible in your own ways,

and you both have shown me things

that I'm looking for in a partner.

And, yeah, I just thank you both

for allowing me the
chance to experience you.

Okay, Nic and Elan.

Now let's see if Cierra has picked you.

If she has, you'll be in a couple.

If not, you will all
be single and vulnerable.

Nic.

We have a match!

Congratulations, Cierra and Nic.

You are now a couple.

Honey, I'm home!

- Aww!
- Aww!

Elan, I'm afraid you didn't
get a match with Cierra.

Did you think you had a good connection?

Yeah, I thought we had a great connection,

but I know that she was honest with me

about the fact that
she had a connection with Nic

since pretty much day one.

So it's kind of hard
to compete with three days

compared to three weeks.

Well, you are now single and vulnerable.

- Please join the others.
- Thank you.

Cierra, what made you choose Nic?

I think from my first kiss with Nic,

I thought maybe we could
be something cute, special.

And after our first conversation,

I knew I was right.

And I just... I couldn't
stop thinking about him.

I really, really missed him
while I was away from him.

So I'm just really happy to be back.

Congratulations, Cierra and Nic.

You are back in a couple.

Please go and join the others.

- Nicky-poo!
- Nic!

Last is Taylor.

Please go and stand in the center now.

Taylor, you're currently
coupled up with Clarke.

Before Casa Amor, you were
coupled up with Olandria.

So, Clarke and Olandria,

if you wrote Taylor's name on your board,

please go and join him now.

- Taylor.
- Taylor.

Clarke, why did you choose
to couple up with Taylor?

I chose to couple up
with Taylor because, I mean,

from the moment
that all of us girls got here,

he was my number-one pick.

After the first conversation

and just continuing to get to know him,

I realized how caring he is.

He never failed to make sure
that I was comfortable.

So... yeah.

Olandria, why did you want
to recouple with Taylor?

As you all know, me and Tay's
journey has been crazy.

Um, but through all the obstacles,

we've overcame them and always
find our way back to each other.

I've put so much dedication
and time into Taylor.

It would be crazy for me to
just... to want to give that up.

Yes, my girl.
Yes.

Taylor, how do you feel
about both of these girls?

You know, both of them
are great, beautiful girls.

I'm nervous as sh*t right now.

I made a great connection with Clarke...

and a great connection with Olandria.

So...

Okay, Taylor.
Let's see who's on your board.

Okay, Taylor...

Let's see who's on your board.

- It's a match.

Congratulations.

Clarke and Taylor, you are a couple.

Wait. What?

f*ck no!

Taylor!
Are you serious?

We just got her back.

There's no way, bro.

That is crazy.

There's no way.

Yo!

Yo.

- Olandria.
- Yes.

I'm afraid you didn't get
a match with Taylor.

How are you feeling?

I'm a little disappointed,

regarding me stepping outside
of my comfort zone

to make sure Taylor got whatever he needed

out of this connection and even
going as far as asking him,

"What else can I do to make you feel like

I'm doing enough for you?"

Um, disappointed but not surprised.

It hurts.
But it's okay.

Taylor, do you have anything to say?

Being in this position, you know,
you got two girls to choose from.

It's a terrible, terrible position.

It's, like, not a position
no one wants to be in.

Um, something that
I did not want to do.

But, you know,
I'm following my heart.

You know, my heart said one thing.

My head said something different.

Clarke, are you okay?

Yeah, a little surprised

cause I know they did have
a strong connection.

Um, obviously I am happy.

Um, I think me and Taylor
have a great connection.

I'm excited to continue to explore that.

Well, Olandria, you are
now single and vulnerable.

Please take a seat.

Congratulations,
Clarke and Taylor.

You are a couple.
Please join the others.

Islanders,
Casa Amor is now over.

The recoupling is complete.

We now have nine couples.

And we have six islanders

that are single and vulnerable.

Elan...

JD...

Zac...

Vanna...

CoCo...

And Olandria.

You are now single and vulnerable.

Please go to the center now.

We all know it's not good

to be single and vulnerable on Love Island.

However...

One boy and one girl will be saved tonight.

And that decision belongs
to your fellow islanders.

The connections you've built
over the last few days

will now determine if you stay...

Or if you are dumped from the island.

Islanders who have been in the Villa,

stay where you are.

Islanders who are in Casa Amor,
please sit over there.

Everyone who is in the Villa,

you will need to reach a
decision on which girl to save.

And everyone who was in Casa Amor,

you will need to reach
a decision on which boy to save.

Please talk amongst yourselves.

Jaden, would you like to start?

I don't know.
It's tough.

- Alright.

- Okay.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Six Islanders are single,
and only two will stay.

Who stays and who goes
is up to the safe islanders.

Okay, Islanders.

Casa Amor, we'll start with you first.

Which boy do you want to save?

The reasons we decided
to save this boy is we all

believe he came here
with the greatest intentions.

He just came in here with the
most open heart, open mind.

That's just something we can't deny.

Y'all my boys for life.
I love y'all.

The boy we want to save is...

Elan.

Congratulations, Elan.

You deserve it, bro.
You deserve it.

- Congratulations.
You can go take a seat.

Thank you.

There you go.
We need you.

Elan, how do you feel?

It's bittersweet.

I'm excited to be
continuing my experience here

and I just have a lot
of love for those boys.

And it's really hard to know
that me being here

means that they can't be.

Now, Villa, it's your turn.

Which girl have you decided to save?

First of all,
this decision isn't easy at all.

The reason we are saving this girl is

because we believe she put her
best foot forward every time.

The girl we are saving is...

- Olandria.
- My God!

Congratulations, Olandria.

You can go and join the other islanders.

- f*ck!

Olandria, how are you feeling right now?

I'm just so blessed to be here

and people to think,
like, I do deserve love.

Okay. Well, that means,
JD, Zac, Vanna, and CoCo,

unfortunately, you have
been dumped from the island.

It's time to say your goodbyes
to your fellow islanders.

The rest of you,
I'll see you soon.

Bye for now.

Bye, Barbie.

- I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm gonna miss you guys.

Thank you.

I don't want to hug you
too hard. I'll ruin the shirt.

I'll ruin the shirt.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye!

- Bye!
- Bye!

Mwah.
