07x26 - Episode 26

[bunniefuu]

- Last night
on "Love Island USA"...

the challenge fallout...

I don't want to have a chat.

Shattered friendships...

You are not a friend of mine.

- I definitely felt
a little hurt.

- You wanted to be
open to exploring.

I said okay, but you're
comparing me sitting down

having a conversation
with somebody

to you kissing every
f*cking person in the room.

Okay.

- Just making me question
his intentions.

What are you here for?

- fired-up new flings...

- I really do f*ck with you,
and I want to explore this.

and sent one couple...

- into a full-on love lockdown.

- This is where I want to, like,

formally ask you
if you'd like to be closed off.

So we closed things off.

Tonight...

- "Islanders. It's time
to stand on business."

- I got a lot of sh*t
to f*cking say.

- the islanders
face the ultimate test...

- Pepe, why are you
wasting Gracyn's time?

When it comes to Jeremiah,

he was damned if he did,
damned if he didn't.

What do you mean by this?

Brutal honesty...

- It's like, what the f*ck?
- f*ck y'all.

- If I stand for something,
I'm gonna say it up front.

And no place to hide.

- Thank you
for sharing your thoughts.

Amaya.

Welcome to "Love Island USA."

Nic and Cierra have become

the first closed couple
in the Villa,

and Cierra can't wait
to rip his clothes off.

Me too, sister!

Although, I got as far as his
knees and just sort of gave up.

How are you?

- I'm good, darling.
How are you?

I'm so good. Ooh.

- I'm coming off a high
from today.

- We got to, one, work out.
Two, ride bikes.

Three, have a picnic.
Four, it was on a hill.

Five, sun setting.
Six, there was champagne.

- Seven, there was sandwiches.
- Like,

there was just
so many good things

- that happened all at once today.
- Eight, we got to hang out.

Nine, we got to talk.
Ten, we got to kiss.

Eleven... yeah.
Just so many...

I feel like today all day

I've just been giving
these, like, sighs of relief

because I just can't believe

how happy I am
and how happy he makes me.

And every little moment with him
just gets better and better.

I feel like I'm in just
a little bubble of happiness.

Same.

- Bryan has pulled private
investigator Jaden for a chat.

Austin would love to know
what's going on with them.

If only there was someone
he could hire to find out...

- You're an investigator, right?
- Yeah.

- Is that scary?
- Yeah. Ooh!

- You looked at me
like you were scared.

- Not really,
because I tell it how it is.

- Yeah.
- Like, I don't give a f*ck

what, like, people feel
just because it's like...

- What's the point of lying?
- Right.

- Causes way more problems.
- Yeah. For sure.

- Did you expect that?
- I didn't expect Bryan, no.

But it's the name of the game.

- What's your
typical type, though?

- I would say the
most cliché thing ever...

tall, dark, and handsome.

- I'm tall, dark, and handsome
with tattoos.

I'm-a be honest, though.

When you came in,
you turned my head for sure.

- Really?
- Yeah, 100%.

I feel like I didn't really
feel like I was open

because I've been so happy
with Austin.

But that conversation with Bryan
definitely did open my eyes.

- I don't waste my time
with sh*t I don't want,

and I make time
for the sh*t I do want.

Know what I'm saying?

So that's why I kind of
wanted to pull you today.

No, I'm happy that you did.

- I feel like everybody's been
scattered and everything, so...

- I feel like it's really easy
talking to you.

- After their smash hit,
"I'm a Mummy, Mamacita,"

Nic and Huda reunite for
their difficult second album,

"Why Does Chelley Not Like Me?"

- What's up, twin?
- Um, so I...

I just wanted to, like, kind of
get your side of things.

- Okay. All I've ever been told
is it's just a challenge.

Nothing's personal.
It wasn't like a,

"I want Ace.
I'm trying to get with Ace."

I'm not trying to do that.

I do see your point of view.

I think, like, the line
was crossed definitely at Ace.

That's my straight-up opinion.

Have you and Chelley
talked about it?

No, we haven't talked about it.

I don't think she's ready,
so I'm giving her her space.

And do I think
I went overboard? Yes.

And I take full accountability
for that.

And I won't do that again.

And all I can do
is learn from it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- I just want to let you know,
like, I really am here for you.

I just don't want to feel like
you're alone in this if, like...

- I adore you. I wasn't expecting
you to pull me for a chat.

- So I adore you. Thank you.
- Yeah.

- I feel like Nic definitely has
his head screwed on straight.

I feel like he gives
such good advice

and he gives me a different
perspective on things.

You know, I think the whole
point of the conversation

was to kind of help me realize
what I did wrong.

But the surprising part was that
I already knew what I did wrong.

- Alright, darling.
- Love you, Nic.

I love you, as well.

- Hurricane Huda!
- Even though you f*cking

tried to vote me out twice.

Yeah. Jinx.

- It's time for bed,
and Chelley has successfully

managed to avoid talking
about her emotions all night.

Chelley, I'm a Scottish man
in my 30s.

I've avoided talking about
my emotions my entire life.

- Hey, my b*tch is on a high!
Yes!

- Andreina asked me, like,
"So, are you, like,

open to exploring
or how is this going?"

When somebody asks me a question

that it involves them
potentially,

I respond truthfully.

So... And she respected it.

- This is the first time
I get friend-zoned!

- Alright.
Well, f*ck you, Pepito!

f*ck you!

f*cking weirdo.
I think he's a weirdo.

I'm like...

Do you really think
I'm being dramatic?

- Honestly, if he's not
making you happy,

like, you don't need to pretend.

- Sweetness.
- It was so petty, bro,

but, like,
I think it's just, like,

stemmed into, like,
a big situation.

Yeah.

- You be snoring!
- No, I don't!

- I'll be right here listening.
- I snore, dead-a*s?

Yes.

- It's not, like, obnoxious or
loud or nothing like that.

Like, it's just there.

I'm embarrassed!

- No?
- Mnh-mnh.

I've never pitched a tent.

In your pants?

- Welcome back
to "Love Island USA."

Love was in the air last night.

And on the sheets
and the pillows.

And I think I saw some love
on the kitchen counter.

Do you know what?

Let's just fumigate
the whole place to be safe.

I feel good today, baby.

- Is that closed-off
Cierra or what?

It's me. Hi.

- Looking for lunch.
- I'm making pancakes for everyone.

If you want to take up for her,
I'll take one up for Amaya.

- I think Nic and I are
gonna make breakfast together.

- Aww!
- Wait.

You and TJ
can make breakfast with us.

- Okay, can we do a four-way
then?

Yeah.

- We love love.
- Thank you, Zak.

Yo, you're k*lling me.

Why you keep taking
these people's trees?

- Thanks, Zak.
Thank you, thank you.

- Great job. Thank you, ladies.
I feel so loved.

- Right, Amaya,
you want to speak to Zak.

So just keep it simple.

"Zak, can I pull you
for a chat?"

That's all you have to say.
Don't overthink it.

- Yeah.
- Zak, sorry to interrupt.

Are you down to talk to me
over there?

- Yeah. Sure, sure.
- Pull you for a chat-chat.

And then go-go.

Thank you for breakfast
this morning.

It's all good.

I put you an extra waffle
in there.

Yes, you did.

- Zak and Amaya have been,
like, a little bit hot and cold.

- They've been rocky.
- Yesterday,

she just didn't see much of him.

Like, he was just hanging out
with the guys all day.

He doesn't pull her

- for a conversation.
- Yeah.

Which isn't a good feeling,
I'm sure.

- I totally get it that you,
like,

wanted your space yesterday.

The whole day just went on

and, like, we didn't get the
chance to really, really speak.

You did just prioritize being
with the guys and stuff

like that, which is fine.

- I didn't speak to anybody
yesterday.

- I'm on about... Like, do you
see where I'm coming from?

Or you don't get
where I'm coming from?

- No. I get what...
- Do you think it's jealousy?

'Cause it's not about
me being jealous whatsoever.

- No, no, I don't think
it's jealousy.

I just feel like,
you know, I feel like...

- I'm trying to monitor you?
- No, no, no.

- Like, I'm not trying
to change who you are

or anything like that.

It's just that I feel
like sometimes,

even though I'm coupled
up with you,

I'm still single as f*ck
in here.

- Why didn't you speak to me
yesterday?

You've got legs.
I've got legs too.

If you want to come speak to me,
come speak to me.

- Yeah, but I also don't want to
be the one

always having to approach you.

I don't know, I just feel like

I want to be strengthening
our connection in a way.

- I didn't really want to,
like, get emotional

while I bring my boys down
or, like,

open up to you a little bit.

I mean, I slowly started
to open up to you,

but then it was certain actions
or certain things you said.

It's constant.
I was moving too quick

'cause I'm like, "I ain't
ready for this sh*t."

Amaya is an awesome girl

and I'm really trying my best
to understand her as a person.

But the last couple of days

it's just been a little bit
of miscommunication.

But I feel like my head's
just still in like two places.

Me and Olandria,
we never really finished

what we left off at Casa Amor.

So yeah, I'm in a bit
of a sticky situation.

- I just want to make sure
that the seed

that we planted
of our connection

is still being watered,

because I feel like
if it's not being watered,

then eventually
the flowers will dry out.

- You know?
- I get it.

Okay.

- Don't, don't. I don't want you
to be like that.

Listen, you'll be fine.
Don't cry.

Moving forward, I feel like,
like I said,

I will try and make
a bit more of an effort to,

like, speak to you
and, like, do things with you

and, like, prioritize you
in certain things.

We can chill together,
kick it, whatever.

- Aw, Amaya's crying.
- She's crying?

- Really?
- I think so.

I'm sorry.

- I think it'll work out.
Like, whatever.

I think it will too.

How do you feel
about Chris and Huda?

Are they, like,
exploring each other?

- I think Chris is more keen
on Huda now.

- Huda and Chelley
haven't really talked.

- Right?
- I talked to Huda last night.

She actually took
accountability,

- like, off the rip.
- Wow.

- She's like... She thought
that she crossed the line,

what she did to Ace.

- I just think they both
just need a proper convo.

- Yeah.
- I'm so happy.

Like, we're in a good place

and I feel like definitely
you guys are in a good place

and we get to, like,
share that together

and just kind of watch it all

go down instead of, like,
being in it.

- Alright, bro, how you
feeling this morning?

I feel good, man.

- How about you?
- I'm feeling good, bro.

I had some good cuddles
last night.

- Yeah.
- Me and Huda had a good conversation

in the Speakeasy last night,
bro, shared a little kiss,

- a little smoochy smooch.
- Ooh!

- It was just overall
just a cute night.

Obviously I still like Chelley,

but I am going to take
a step back just

because I just don't feel

like the energy is being
reciprocated any type of way.

- I actually like what
you and Huda got going on.

I do too, bro.

- Hey, guys,
I have a secret to tell you.

You got a secret to tell me?

- I have a secret
to tell you guys.

You know how me and Chris
went in the Speakeasy yesterday?

- We actually kissed.
- How was it?

It was good.

So where's his mind at?

- He just said, like,
after talking to me, he said,

like, it changed his feelings.

He really enjoys talking to me,
but he's really sweet.

Like, he doesn't get defensive
when I bring things up.

And I really like it.
It's just very different.

- Very different for me.
- Yeah.

I like him too.

f*ck. Do I like somebody?

Like, that's kind of
what's going through my brain.

I'm like, "sh*t."

The thing is, like,
I'm trying to be vulnerable,

but at the same time,
I'm not trying to get hurt.

So, like, I'm trying to have a
happy balance between the both,

you know.

- But how you feeling,
though, bro,

with everything
you got going on?

Yeah, bro.

For sure,
I want to pull Jaden again.

- Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Like 110%.

I definitely want to pull
her again.

It was that type of chat.

Yeah.

One person that's definitely,

turned my head,
I could say was Jaden.

I had all my eggs in one basket,
with Andreina,

but I feel like conversations
just really stopped,

like, developing,
and I talked to Jaden,

and that's definitely a basket
I want to pull to my side

and put some eggs in there.

Because I asked her. I was like,
"What's your usual type?"

And she was like, "Tall,
dark, and handsome."

- That's you.
- I was like...

- I was like, "Word."
- That's you.

Like, yeah. Perfect.

Well, obviously
I want to get to know her,

but I'm gonna make it known,
like, I'm interested.

Yeah.

- My chat with Bryan
went really well.

I think all my conversations
have been great,

but for, like, a first one,
that was...

that was probably
like the best one.

Austin was like... I think
he was, like, actually upset.

- Do you think that our
couples are making it difficult

for other people to,
like, get to know us maybe?

- Definitely me.
- Yeah. You're on lock.

You're on lock.

- Which is crazy
because he's exploring still.

- Honestly, I'm kind of surprised
with the amount of,

like, affection
that he's willing to show you.

- Me too.
- And still.

I guess that's...
I'm... 'cause...

You get me, b*tch.

Keep going.
Keep f*cking talking.

Me and Taylor,
we have a very real connection.

And I feel like there's a lot
of, you know,

smooches here and there.

Like, we show that
we like each other in all ways.

It makes me happy.

But I don't know
if that makes some people happy.

- I'm not used to this.
- Triangle situation.

- I'm not used to this,
baby girl.

- Olandria's been getting
to know Zak, who's a model.

I used to be a still-life model
back in my hometown,

but I quit when I had to move.

- So how did you finish
your chat with Zak?

Like, are you going to keep
going for more chats?

Yeah, like, don't get me wrong,

the things that he does do
around here is, like...

- Make you feel a type of way.
- Questionable.

Things like help me up
and down the stairs,

like doing, like,
little small things.

- Like, he was just...
- Gentlemanly.

So out of reach. Exactly.

- Especially in comparison
to someone like Taylor,

- who is overly gentleman.
- Yes. Overly.

And that's
why I love country men.

I feel like they just
always just know what to do

- when it comes to women.
- Yeah.

- But it's just like,
at the end of the day,

I know, like,
he's a great guy and so mature.

He knows what he wants.

What about your other option?

- I get that things are
weird between Taylor.

His mind ain't made up just yet.

And it's just, like, as much
as I just want to write him off

and say f*ck the connections,

like, regardless of how
many other connections I built,

that is still by far
my strongest one.

- How you doing?
- Doing great, man.

We're actually in a good spot,
bro.

It's just like, every day
go by, I start liking her more.

Her vibe is just hella cool.

I'm really starting to, like,
get in my... my sophomore era,

and she brought it out of me.

I don't know, bro.

And so like now I'm thinking
in my head like,

how do I navigate
this Olandria situation?

- Welcome back
to "Love Island USA."

Gracyn has asked Iris
to lend her an ear

so she can chat about Pepe.

Earlier, I asked Gracyn
to lend me an ear

because I needed somewhere
to store my favorite flower.

- How's you and Pepito?
- Pepito.

- Pepito.
- I like him.

- Like, I'm attracted to...
- He likes you.

- Really?
- He wouldn't make breakfast.

He wouldn't, like,
do sh*t like that

if he really didn't like you.

- You know what I'm saying?
- For some reason, like,

I feel like I feel
just a little, like...

- Pull back?
- Yeah.

Um...

I haven't been feeling
that spark with Gracyn.

- I've been trying to figure out,
like,

how to tell because I don't...

It's not a her thing.
It's definitely not a her thing.

She's an amazing girl.

It's just... It's a me thing.

I haven't felt that.

- I feel like it's
kind of a weird circumstance,

like us being together just
'cause of what happened.

And, like, I feel like,

you know, he didn't,
like, choose to send, like,

his past connection home, but at
the same time, I'm like...

I see what you're saying.

- If there is a spark there,
then I don't know.

It's hard,
but I'm doing my best.

- I think the last three days
it's definitely been...

Hannah's been on the back
of my mind.

Um, I feel
like I'm dragging her along

because I definitely
don't want to string her along,

and I definitely don't
want to ruin her experience. - Yeah.

- Um, Gracyn's an amazing girl,
you know,

and I want to express to her
everything of how I'm feeling.

And I told myself
that I was going to be in here

and be truthful and honest

and try my best to open up
and to build a connection.

And it's just... it's not there.

And, you know, but
if I'm not feeling that spark,

I feel like it's not fair
for her.

- You just have to be
straight up with how you feel.

Don't hold back
and it'll all work out.

Yeah.

- You think getting closed off
here is like getting married?

- I know.
- The way everyone comes up...

- Keeps talking about it.
- And is like, "Congratulations."

Like, are you gonna get
me a toaster or some sh*t now?

Do you want to see our registry?

Yeah. What the hell?

I got a text!

- Awwwwww sh*t.
- I'm scared.

- Austin, was that you?
- What is this gonna say?

- I need to know positive or
negative right f*cking now.

sh*t.

Hell yeah. That's that sh*t.

Standing on business, guys.

I got a text!

My God.

I'm signing everything
I write.

I'm thinking finally.

I've been ready for this
since day 1

where people actually say
how they feel.

They ain't hiding
behind no telephone game.

And ain't no running from it.

So time to stand on
some business.

- Are you signing it, TJ?
- I'm signing it.

- If it ain't direct,
I don't want it.

- Bro, what?
- I'm gonna get so much sh*t.

You got some sh*t
to say about me,

f*cking say that sh*t.
Say it with your chest.

Stop hiding it.

I would much rather hear
it right off the rip

rather than hear about it later.

So... bring it on.

- I got a lot of sh*t
to m*therf*cking say.

Messy. Messy. Messy.

- I think this is our chance
to just, like, call people out.

- Alright. I'm serious about
standing on business.

- No. Me, too.
And I'm signing my name. O.C.

You still ain't had your convo,
so this is the perfect time

of talking with Huda and Chris.

You got to address some of it.

Maybe not all of it,
but at least like some of it.

- Dear Ace Greene,
I think you should go ahead

and have that conversation
with Chelley.

- Dear Chelley, you need to
stop exploring things with Chris

- and just close off with Ace.
- Right there.

Tonight going to be crazy
as hell.

- You doing one to Taylor?
- Should I?

What should I say?

- Ever since you guys had
that conversation,

do you feel like his energy
has been matching what you said?

You're right. No, it has not.

- Taylor, I think's,
gonna get roasted.

- I'm just thinking about what
people about to say about me.

No. Me too. I'm gonna cry.

- I got a... I got a good idea
of what I would get

if I got anything at all.

I hate drama,
I hate being messy.

But I feel like this night
I'm going to be forced

to be in some mess.

Lord,
this is going to be interesting.

Like, are we trying to be messy

or are we just airing
out what's on our chest?

Because if we're airing
out what's on our chest, like,

it's not going anywhere
with Gracyn.

Damn, dude.

- That'd be kind of...
That'd be harsh.

- Everybody here has an ego,
bro, to some sort.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, 100%, bro.

- This is going to be
a shouting-match day.

Yeah.

It's gonna be messy as sh*t.

Honestly, I don't know
how tonight's gonna go down.

There's a hurricane brewing.

I'll tell you that, though.

Let me just write that to Huda.

It's not personal, ladies.

- I'm about to have the biggest
stack of cards out of everybody.

Mark my f*cking words.

It's about to be a bloodbath out
here on "Love Island," y'all.

Cover your eyes.

'Cause sh*t's about
to get real messy.

- Welcome back
to "Love Island USA."

The islanders
have mailed postcards.

These postcards are a place

for cruel messages
and harsh insults

without any regard
for the other person's feelings.

Or, as you savages
might know it,

my TikTok comments section!

- The islanders
will read their postcards

written to them
by their fellow islanders,

which will either be
anonymous or signed.

Then they'll have
their chance to respond.

So let's clear the air...

starting with Austin.

Say it with your chest, Austin.

f*ck!

- Don't let them talk
about you like that, Austin.

I'm not gonna.

- Stand on business, boy.
- sh*t!

"To Austin, from anonymous."

I hope you stand up.

- "I don't know
how you've made it this far.

You don't give any girl effort.

You're just enjoying
your time in the Villa."

- I don't know personally
how I've made it this far,

but I don't...

The "You don't give
any girl effort."

I-I just don't... I don't
necessarily agree with that.

I think, every girl
I've been coupled up with,

I've... I've had
great conversation

and I have given my all
to get to truly know them.

You definitely show effort.

There we go.

Okay. Okay. I wrote that.

Ooh!

- I just wanted to see,
you know,

what you guys were gonna say.

The triangle
with Ace, you, and Chelley.

It was like Ace was doing
so much to, like,

show Chelley that he wanted her.

You weren't really, like,
kind of, like,

putting the fight
to actually win Chelley.

- I respect
that you came forward.

Of course.

Andreina.
I'm coming for you.

- Good job.
- Thank you.

Next up, it's Cierra.

"To Nic and Cierra.

"Do you know how not quiet
you are in the bedroom?"

- That's funny as f*ck.
Who sleeps next to them?

- I do, but that's not me.
- It wasn't me.

- I didn't write it, though.
I didn't write it.

Noise travels?

- I try my hardest
to be respectful, okay?

And we were
celebrating yesterday.

f*ck y'all.

Okay. Okay.

- "To Chelley, Olandria,
and Cierra. From Pepe.

I don't understand why you
girls chose to send Hannah home.

She is one of the only girls
who truly explored

an unsafe connection
with another person.

The logic does not make sense."

So, it was Hannah,
Iris, and Amaya.

- I felt that Iris had
something budding with TJ.

Um, Amaya hadn't
really had the chance

to have a romantic connection
with anyone at the time.

Like, I thought they had both
been dealt an unfair hand.

Whereas someone like Hannah
at that time

had had the chance to explore
two really strong connections

and be lucky for it.

Um, not only that,
but I feel like

you're someone who came in
and was really adamant

about wanting to explore

all of your connections
in the Villa,

and I feel like once you and
Hannah had gotten paired up,

it was very tunnel vision.

And, I mean, I think if you look
at where you are now,

like, sitting next to Gracyn,
having gone through Casa,

like, clearly it's possible

for you to have found
another connection.

And maybe if Hannah was here
distracting you from that,

then you wouldn't
have felt the same.

- So...
- I respect that.

Do you ladies...

- Literally. What she said.
- I agree.

- I mean, it was tough,
but it was a thing of, like,

who's here to really explore
and not lock in

off of the first,
like, connection

that you feel is so strong.

- I know you're not,
but if you were in my shoes

and you had to make a decision
as hard as that one,

who do you think would
have been the right answer?

- I'd have to sit down
and talk to the boys

like you three
talked to the girls.

- But, see, that's unfair.
I refuse to believe

that you haven't thought
about it up until this point.

- I feel like in that moment
when we were deciding,

we didn't want to make
that mistake of going off of

a "strong connection"
because it didn't turn out

to be the strongest connection
we thought it was.

And none of us are happy
that she went home.

- I think final word's, like,
we miss Hannah every day.

Hopefully that gives you clarity
on why we voted the way we did.

Okay. Much love.

- I like how respectful
we all argue, by the way.

- I know!
- It's like therapy, yo.

- I feel like
I'm at a debate class.

- It's like, "Excuse me."
- Yeah.

Next up, Amaya.

- Go, Amaya Papaya!
Amaya Papaya!

- sh*t.
- It looks like I got mail.

"To Amaya from question mark.

Amaya swears she don't snore
but wakes me up from it."

- Yo!
- It didn't come from me!

I wrote that.

I wake up
in the middle of the night

listening to you snore,
so I just... I... Yeah.

Yo! That's just me singin'.

"Amaya from question mark."

"You cry more than needed.

You try to move too fast
for everyone."

That's f*cked.

- And look at the b*tch
crying again.

- Don't cry, baby girl.
You look too beautiful.

Deep breaths.

- God forbid
I'm a sensitive gangsta.

Sensitive gangster! Come on!

- I would just have to say
that many people

could view this as a weakness,
but to me personally,

after everything
I've been through in my life,

- I view it as a strength.
- Amen. Amen.

- So if you guys view it
like that, then guess what.

I'm just not your cup of tea
to be drinking,

so don't f*cking drink it.

Who was the question mark?

- Yeah. Does anyone
want to speak up?

I did.

- My God.
- No. I... Like...

That was a little harsh,
how it came off.

When we coupled up,
after that, it was like

the intensity of your...
your emotions and feelings

and wants, like, just felt
like they built way up.

People can express themselves

the way that I can
express myself,

so I'm tired of people
viewing that

as a negative
instead of a power move.

- Time-out.

See, you're very, very wearing
your heart on your sleeve.

You're very passionate
when you talk.

But when you're saying, "Babe, can I
grab this for you? Babe, can I do this?"

You're coming at it very,
very strongly off the rip.

And I just wanted to
slow the pace down of that.

But it's just a matter
of meeting people

at that middle ground
of what they're comfortable with

and what
you're comfortable with.

- You know, sometimes I'm...

I'm not the book that
someone should be reading,

and that's okay.

- One thing
I got to add, though,

coming from
a Hispanic household,

calling someone "babe,"
"mi amor," "mi vida."

That's just how we talk.

You're telling her
meet you halfway.

You got to
meet her halfway, too.

- I did that.
- I respect that.

Thank you, guys,
for sharing your thoughts.

- When we speak,
like, obviously,

like, I let you
be passionate with me.

I let you kiss me.
I let you touch me.

Sometimes I feel like
I have to take a step back.

Zak, you had every opportunity

to tell me that
when we were sitting...

- We did have that conversation.
That's why I was about to say...

- Now you wait until this moment
to speak to me

in front of


I don't even want to continue
on speaking to you anymore.

- Well, all I'm saying
over there was, "Listen..."

- I don't care to hear
what you have to say anymore!

- Stop talking to me!
- Okay. Okay. Cool.

You're taking this
as a ping-pong battle right now. Stop!

- She doesn't want to speak
to you right now.

- I just need a break right now.

Ace. Ace. Just come back, bro.

Amaya.

- You are so strong
for what you just did.

- That's just not
how I do things.

I'm like, damn, I've only just -

I don't even know
your second name.

Zak is a f*cking chump.

Do not let those men

sit here and tell you
how to be Amaya.

Because Amaya
knows how to be Amaya.

And people who can see Amaya

love every single thing
about you.

- Welcome back
to "Love Island USA."

They say
that honesty is the best policy

and having watched this game,

I honestly think that's
a load of crap.

Next up is Pepe.

Alright.

"Pepe, ever since Hannah left,

have you been playing it safe
until you leave the Villa?

We know you don't like
Gracyn as much

as you liked Hannah,"
from question.

- Who wrote it?
- Who wrote that?

Who wrote that?

- The first couple
of days of Casa,

I was trying my best
to open up and explore Gracyn.

But yeah,
when you get something snatched

from under your feet like that

that you felt great about,
it doesn't feel good.

- Yeah, it's for sure
frustrating for me.

- Of course. And that... I...

There's nothing
I can do about that.

- What are you saying or doing
that's making it still relevant?

You know, like, it's continuing
to be brought up.

It's "Love Island."

Like, people recouple
all the time.

You know that I'm here
because...

You're looking for love.

- Genuinely.
- Yeah.

- Like, I really want to
make a connection.

And, like, I see
that that's possible with you.

But if all of this
is still relevant

and you still feel this way
about her,

you need to start thinking
about giving me the opportunity

to really try to dive in and,
like, get to know other people.

- Trying to move
as respectfully as possible.

I've said what I had to said.

I've repeated what
I have to repeat.

I don't really care
to talk about it too much more.

So thank you, guys.

It's alright.

- For who?
It's alright for who?

I mean, you know...

- Yeah, but it's like...
It's, like, about your past.

- But I just got here.
- I know.

Next up is Ace.

- "Ace, if you and Chelley are
so strong,

why haven't you closed things
off?

Question mark.

- Amaya.
- It was me who wrote that.

- She said she wanted to test
a new connection.

Perfectly fine.

I've never been
the controlling type.

I'm not gonna tell her
to close off with somebody

she doesn't want to close off
with.

And that's okay.

Yeah. Perfect answer.

To Ace from Austin,

"People have sucked up
to what you say.

The Ace posse doesn't go
against you.

When it comes to Jeremiah,

he was damned if he did,
damned if he didn't."

Austin, before I respond to
this, what do you mean by this?

Just, like, that more pertained

to the whole Jeremiah and Huda
situation.

I just felt bad for him
because you guys gave him

a lot of sh*t in the beginning.

You know, you're a strong
leader, so, like, what you say,

it's not really gone against.

It just felt like he was damned
if he did, damned if he didn't.

- Okay, cool.
Andreina, do you feel like

Jeremiah was coming on to you
pretty strong?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

So there goes my point again
of the whole love bombing thing

where I've seen
that since day 1.

Just because I have the ba*ls
to say that sh*t doesn't mean,

Ace is a hater.

One of us out of the two is 6'5"

and one of us is 5'10"
and has the ba*ls

to say some sh*t around here
because I have some heart.

You don't.

When it comes to Amaya saying
about how you feel about her

and you telling us a story,

she gets a whole different side
of Austin.

- I mean, that's 'cause
I wasn't really decided.

- You know, I speak to you guys.
- Right. But it's pretty clear.

It's pretty clear how you tell
us how you feel about some sh*t.

So when it's like... I feel so
like this is Pepé Le Pew

and she's giving me
all this affection,

- and she don't understand that.
- I don't understand it.

Because you don't say that.

So again, I'm going to speak
my mind because I'm a leader.

And if I stand for something,
I'm going to say it up front.

I don't give a f*ck
who likes it or not.

You mad that people agree with
how I feel,

that's not on me.
That's a you problem.

- Yeah, but I feel like...
- But listen, I'm not done.

- I'm not done.
- There's no back...

- You're going to let me speak
and I'm going to say how I feel.

When it comes to standing up
about how you feel,

you shy away from that sh*t.

I don't.

Every time you relate a feeling
about how it is of mine,

it was not a great feeling
ever since.

- Ever since my situation.
- But I relayed to you

the whole time though that
there was a side to her

that I very much loved.

- It was always more negative
than positive sh*t.

- Do you understand that?
- That's why I said I didn't want

to... I didn't want to come off
like I was.

- It doesn't matter.
You're still here.

- Hang on. Amaya, this is not...
this is not your conversation.

- This is between us.
- I know it's not my conversation

but we have all the right
to put our inputs in it.

It's like you just
keep on focusing on the guys

who got sent home.

And why does that matter?

- This was a chance
to air stuff out, Amaya.

- Alright.
- Do you not understand what

- a chance to air stuff out is?
- No, I understand what that is.

You don't need to interpret that
for me.

I understand that,
but what I'm saying is that...

- It doesn't seem like you do.
- No, I understand that.

Don't be disrespectful to me
like that.

Because right now,
there's a lot of colors

that I did not see that you had
before that are showing tonight.

- That's okay.
- And you know what?

I'm glad that we have
this challenge

because all of this sh*t
that's being said,

you never want to send it
to my face.

And you were very much confused
whenever I came up to you.

- So continue.
- I was confused because

this reaction, I didn't want to
deal with.

- What reaction? What the f*ck
are you talking about?

You're the one with the...
with the neck veins

popping out of your neck
right now.

- Okay.
- Bro, I'm so done with it.

I'm so like... Am I bugging out?

- No.
- No.

- I've said everything
I need to say.

Up next is Chelley.

I got a couple of
little cards.

Y'all got some sh*t to say?

Look at that stack, girl.

Um, "Chelley,

I don't understand
why you want boundaries set

during challenges for us both

but want to continue exploring
things with other people.

Ace."

Why does there need to be
boundaries if I'm exploring?

We talked about, if anything,
you initiated the, you know,

"I'm still open to exploring,"
so I've done just that.

- It's not a problem
that you're exploring,

but it's the fact
that you're trying to put

a boundary on me
while exploring.

I don't get that.

- This whole thing
about the boundaries,

it was just to make
you feel comfortable

and make me feel comfortable.

But did we not say we're open?

Did you not tell me
that you want to be open?

So it's like, now when
I'm doing that, it's a problem.

- Am I... Am I not missing?
Can someone explain that to me?

To where like if I'm... I feel
like I'm not reaching her.

- I would like to know,
am I tripping?

Like, I don't understand.
I'm confused.

- The way that I see it is,
like, during that challenge,

you guys didn't set boundaries.

When she comes to you
and says, "In our connection,

focusing on this right now,

like, I want to put a boundary
there," to me that says,

like, she believes so much in
it, she wants to build upon it.

So let's move forward.

And every challenge in here,

there's going to be
makeout sessions,

there's going to be things.

But in that one specifically,

you really got to decide who and
what you wanted to do things on.

I completely get that.

But when it comes
to boundaries being set,

what do I look like dialing my
sh*t back when she's exploring?

"To Chelley and Chris,

why haven't you had
a conversation

since Casa seems like avoiding?"

I wrote that one.

- Certain intentions and things
were said

that haven't been followed
through.

- I'm curious to know
what intentions were said

that weren't being
followed through.

- It's just been a thing
of, like, avoiding.

Like, there's no eye contact.

There is no conversation,
no nothing like that.

So when I don't see anything
so grand and significant

from what I already have going
on, It almost feels like, okay,

I don't want to waste my time
and ruin what I have

based off of just
a whole bunch of words.

That's just what it was.

I ain't got nothing else.

- "To Chelley, do you remember
saying it's just a challenge?

You and Ace are still open."

Whoever wrote it,
I would love to know

so I could understand what
you're referring to.

- I wrote it.
I just wanted to bring up.

So, back when me and Jeremiah
were together,

I felt like you were
like the number-one

person always telling me,
"Huda, relax.

It's just a challenge.
Relax. It's just a challenge."

- When that was happening,
the only time I recall

me telling you it's a challenge
is when

it was bombshells coming in

and you wanted to tweak on
bombshells who don't know you,

who don't know Jeremiah,
who don't know y'all connection,

and you wanted to be so furious
at them for no reason.

- I thought in general
it's just a challenge.

- I was not respected
and I feel like too many times

I give you a lot of grace
for stuff.

So I'm trying to hear you
out right now,

but I really don't,
and it's just like, right now

it's starting to aggravate me.

I did that in that moment.

It upset you.
That won't happen again.

I will say, okay, I f*cked up
and I shouldn't have done that.

I hate that I upset you.
I really do.

And all I can say is I'm sorry.

At the end of the day,
a f*cking challenge,

it's... it doesn't compare
to my friendship with you.

All I can ask
is for forgiveness.

But if you don't want to give
me forgiveness,

that's fine.

Um...

- Alright,
I'm done with my questions.

- Welcome back
to "Love Island USA."

Next up is Huda.

And I'm not saying
this is a big one,

but the postman did arrive
with a wheelbarrow.

Here we go.

"To Huda.

I feel like Hannah was robbed

of her 'Love Island'
experience twice

while you should
have been dumped

from the island.

From Nicolas."

Thank you for your candor.

- Yeah, I mean, it's...
it's not really a surprise.

And, like, I did vote you
to leave twice.

Yeah, I just feel like
with that great relationship

between Hannah and Charlie,

it was just sad to see
something like that disappear

when I felt like
you had gotten a lot of those...

a lot more opportunities

when someone
already had something great,

and I feel like
that was just torn apart.

- I feel like
I've grown a lot in here.

Yes, I've continued
to make mistakes,

but I feel like that's life.

And then Casa Amor happened,

and I think that I truly
did that to the fullest.

So that is my answer.

- I respect what she did.
Like, she explored everybody.

- She did.
- She talked to everybody.

Yeah, yeah.

"To Huda. From anonymous.

Do you think you've
been following girl code

when it comes to Chris
and Chelley's relationship?

Are you a girl's girl?"

This is "Love Island,"
and we are exploring multiple connections.

Nobody owns anybody,
especially if you are open.

That's it.

"To Huda. From Chelley.

If you're going to preach
about being a girl's girl,

you should practice
what you preach."

- "To want loyalty and respect
from your friends

but not give it is crazy.

You say how your intentions
are in the best interest

of your friends,
but they're actually selfish,

and I wish you'd stand on it."

Is this about
the Chris situation?

- This is about a lot of...
a lot of things.

Everything that
we talked about already,

it's about all of that stuff.

The girl-code stuff.

You did not stand on that
when it came to me.

What was the second thing
that I said to you?

- "To want loyalty and respect from
your friends but not give it is crazy."

- That goes back
to the "Jeremiah and you" sh*t.

You wanted loyalty and respect.

You were so gracious for that,
that we gave that to you.

But you didn't extend that when
you had the chance to do that.

And then the last thing,
with the whole Chris thing,

I know was the thing of, like,
it's a win-win situation.

It didn't sit right with me from the
moment it came out of your mouth.

- Because I was
interested in Chris.

- What?
- The whole...

Me bringing Chris back
was not only for you.

- But you kept saying,
"But I'm doing it for you

because I know
what you really want."

No, you don't know
what I really want. You know what you want,

but you want to make it
feel like it's for me, and it's not for me.

If it's for you,
you could stand on that.

I would have
much more respected that

if you would have came to me
and been like, "Chelley..."

And been honest about it.

- like, "Take him for me
and to explore that connection."

- Because... And I've expressed
to you how many times...

Please continue
to pursue Chelley.

Please continue
to pursue Chelley.

- She has. She has.
- I have not lied about that.

I literally keep encouraging him
to pursue you.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

The whole thing
was not for just me.

Yes, it was also for you.

You can shake your head,
but that's... that's fine.

But this is how I felt.
Only I know how I feel.

- If you wanted her to continue
to explore this connection

and you "value" the sisterhood,

I get that
you don't kiss and tell,

but do you mind
telling the class?

- What do you mean?
- Telling the class what?

- That they kissed
in the Speakeasy.

If you truly want her
to explore this connection.

- To be honest,
I don't care about...

I don't care about
because I spoke to him.

I said I don't care
about their connection.

- Do I need to tell
the whole class that...

I'm sorry. I told
my girls that I trusted.

- That's nobody's business.
You know what I mean?

- I'm just saying.
She keeps saying,

"this is for Chelley,"
you respect sisterhood.

- I can't kiss a guy
that I like?!

God f*cking forbid!

- I don't think it's right
to air that sh*t out

because I, personally,
haven't done that

because that's nobody's business
but me and hers.

- It's out now.
- So...

- Alright.
- Okay. Okay.

- That's... That's
mad disrespectful.

- But you keep saying it's for
her, but you move like...

- Chelley and Ace kiss
the people all the time,

but they're still
pursuing connections!

I can kiss people that I like.
Like, what the f*ck?

Also, Olandria,
when I tell you something,

it's between you and me,
and that's it.

- I get that, Huda,
but if you're gonna keep pushing

the sisterhood thing and saying
you did it for Chelley,

you wouldn't move like that.
She was gonna find out.

- And when I want to tell it,
I can talk about it!

It's not for you
to tell somebody!

That's not your place!

f*ck this f*cking game.

I don't tell nobody nothing
anymore.

That's crazy.

Up next is Chris.

- "To Chris. From Cierra."
- Perfect.

- "Are your intentions
with Huda genuine?"

I'm gonna answer that first.
Yes, they are.

I actually do f*ck with her
a lot more than...

And I've told everybody that
in the Villa.

Yep. He did.

It's actually surprising me

how we get along
and I connect with her.

Cool.

"Or do you just want a spot
in the Villa?"

I can give a f*ck less.

I could be overseas
playing ball right now.

"For a man who 'knows'
what he wants,

you seem to change your mind
pretty quickly."

Was my plan to stay here
on the Villa? No.

My plan here
was to focus on Chelley

when she brought that plan
to the table.

Simple as that.
Anybody have anything to say?

- Even before that,
we both expressed interest

in one another
before the recoupling.

It was very clear.

- Okay.
- Yes, there's interest there.

- Absolutely.
- Cool.

- You know what I mean?
But the original plan...

- Say that more, then, because
it hasn't been said a lot.

I respect you coming in here
and doing what you got to do,

and clearly you guys
are getting on well.

- So I'll back off from that...
- I respect that.

- and wish you the best with it.

- Same.
- I respect that.

"To Chris. From Chelley.

The switch-up is insane.

If you just wanted
to come to the Villa,

you could have said that."

I feel like from going

to saying that,
"I came in here for you..."

And, to me, it doesn't feel like
you went as hard

as you made it seem like
you would have.

I feel like the switch-up is
crazy to me how that happened,

but it is what it is,
so that's it.

It's already been told.

I'm not here to play it safe
or be in the Villa.

I could give a f*ck less.
Simple.

Next to go is Olandria.

"To Olandria. From Clarke.

I know you think
I'm just a test.

And that's our connection.

It's only physical,
but it's way more than that.

It's very real."

- Congrats.
- Yeah.

- So, I just wanted... Like,
we had our time to... to chat.

The only thing

during our conversation
that was a little off-putting

was the word "test."

- Like, Casa Amor...

Like, the guys at Casa
and the girls in the Villa

were technically testing
the connection that y'all have,

but for me,
it's... it's kind of upsetting

to feel like I'm a test,
if that makes sense,

because it's like I'm here
to make a connection, too.

So I just feel like

my journey
started a little later,

but I'm still here
to do the same thing.

- I've learned a lot about myself
since being here.

I didn't realize how much
of a physical person I am.

Like, when I'm comfortable,
I am kind of touchy.

- It's very real for me.
- Yeah.

- I'm not able
to be physical at all

unless I feel
an emotional connection,

so I just wanted to throw
that in.

- So me calling you...
And thank you for that

and thank you for signing it.

I got so much respect for you.

- Facts.
- So shout-out to you.

Um, as far as me saying
like you were just attached,

I said it about everybody.

And that's not...
that's not a jab at you.

I say it about bombshells.
I say it about Casa girls.

Anybody that's come in
to step on toes.

So don't take it as like, you just look at me as a test.

That is not it, girl.

I'm not defining your journey
as just a test,

but that's just what
I was trying to say.

- Yeah.
- If that came out wrong, I do apologize,

but that is not what I meant
by it.

- You're fine.
I knew what you meant.

- Anybody else got anything
to get off their chest?

Didn't think so. Thanks.

Brrrrr.

Last up is Taylor.

Taylor!

- He gonna have
a whole book in there.

Stand on business, boy.

That's a st...

- That's a big stack.
- Ooh!

- Brother.
- He got mail.

He got mail.

- Y'all ready
for the sermon I got today?

Alright.

- "Taylor, you and Olandria
have such a strong connection.

How can that change so quickly?"

- Clarke gave me a different
feeling.

Like, you know, you get that kid
feeling, and it's just like...

- How old are you?
- 25.

I can't be a kid?

- I can't have a kid feeling?
- Sure.

Alright.

It's just really crazy to me

how you guys have built
a connection

for... what?
Like three, four weeks now.

And... what? three days,

four days changed... changes
that completely.

- I've already got to know
her for three weeks.

Can I get to know her?

- So why are you telling Olandria
that you're going to spend time

with her and then not do that?

I'm trying.

You're trying?

- Clarke,
do you feel like he's trying?

- Yes.
- Honestly, I'll say yeah.

- "To Taylor from Olandria,
stand on business

and stop acting like a little
b*tch" with a smiley face.

Yeah.

The night of the challenge,

we had a little chat,
and he told me like,

"yeah. When I went,
I wanted to kiss you back.

But out of respect for Clarke,
I didn't."

First of all, you never spared
my feelings

throughout this whole
entire thing,

but now you're sparing hers.

- I don't... I don't like that.

If it was always f*ck
my feelings,

it's officially f*ck yours.

- You don't give
that you're trying to explore.

So it's like you're telling
me one thing,

but you're moving another.

I don't know what
you're telling Clarke,

but I know what
you're telling me.

That you still want to explore
both of us.

But it does not give that.

And in case you didn't know,
he did say that.

- No, I know, he told me.
- But you don't move like that.

- Let's not forget in that moment
when he chose Clarke.

Like, that wasn't on some

"I'm going to continue
to get to know both."

- He was willing to let me...
- She was going to

- leave the island.
- Literally.

Y'all didn't know
no one was going to get saved.

So for you to throw
a whole f*cking connection away

that you've been building
on for three to four weeks

just because sh*t got hard,

you want to jump
to the next girl

and she don't really know much
about what you did previously.

That is bullshit to me.
You get what I'm saying?

If I was moving like Taylor,
Taylor wouldn't f*cking be here.

When Jalen was here,
I reassured this man

every m*therf*cking day.

He ain't do sh*t for me.

Since this girl be here...

I have been so m*therf*cking
real with Taylor.

I cannot express how
f*cking angry I've been.

- I've been holding
this sh*t together.

I've been taking sh*t on the
chin every m*therf*cking day,

being dumped left
and m*therf*cking right.

Not once did I ever question
my worth.

What do you need from me?

What do you need
from this f*cking connection?

You couldn't say sh*t!

- And a girl get in here
and get you

f*cking three days of attention,
you f*cking go?!

Go ahead, finish reading.

- So I feel like
where you coming from,

you want me to think for you
and move for you?

This experience is
for everybody individually.

So the time I move for me,
it's a damn problem for you.

And I fell for Cierra.

I could have left you
vulnerable.

- She gave you five minutes
of conversation.

That was enough
for you to stand up?

- Can I finish?
- Go ahead.

I let you speak.

- You said a whole bunch
of bullshit, but go ahead.

It's my experience, too.

I'm not moving to keep you
here, you feel me?

- Right.
- I'm moving to make a connection,

whoever I make a connection
with.

- So that was my whole...
my whole plan throughout here.

And the way you was thinking was

you wanted me to move for you.

Ooh.

- He stood on business. Damn.
- You feel me?

- Alright.
To Taylor from question mark.

"Make up your damn mind."

- Well, since y'all want me
to make up my mind right now...

- Anybody want to say
who wrote it?

I pick Clarke.

sh*t.
