[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Love Island USA"...

Ever since I've been coupled up with you,

I've been the happiest
I've been.

- Thank you.
- Despite some tears...

I feel hurt for calling you those names.

I think you're a f*cking wicked girl.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Bonds leveled up...

I feel like you're growing your connection,

and I'm growing mine.

Ain't no hard feelings between you and me.

And I wish y'all the best.

New sparks flew...

I never thought
Pepe would be an option.

Not even a gunk-soaked challenge...

Amaya.

Could stop the love.

I had fun with you in the challenge today.

Yeah, I did too.

Tonight...

It's time for a recoupling.

- So, the boy...
- The boy...

- The boy...
- The boy I would like to couple up with is...

- Is...
- Is...

And not everyone gets to stay.

Welcome to "Love Island USA."

Huda is having a post-challenge
debrief with Chris.

And to give you an idea of Chris's skill,

that thing he's using as a snack bowl

I used yesterday as a bathtub.

The crawl...

Why is your crawl sending me?

Why? 'Cause I'm big as hell.

Yes.

How is the challenge?
Did you have fun?

- I did.
- You did?

It was a lot of fun.

I just really wanted to run into a door.

- That was crazy.
- That sh*t still hurt.

- I could tell.
- It was fun.

I was surprised no other guys

pulled me for a kiss, honestly.

Why?

Because we're still open.

- So I was surprised.
- Yeah.

I was like, ""

But I feel like we are getting to, like,

that deeper point in our connection.

Um, like you expressing to me,

like, about your background
and, like, your daughter.

And I truly appreciate that

because I know you don't really

tell people a lot about
your business like that.

I think it's just nice that, like,

I don't feel weird telling you things,

if that makes sense.

Yeah.
I'm not going to judge you.

And I don't feel like you are.

So it's nice that I can...

I feel free to just talk about it.

Um, the most important thing to me

in a relationship is having a best friend.

- I agree.
- Like, just being able to hehe.

"Hehe-haha" and, like, be dumb together.

If I can't, like, laugh
with my partner 24/7,

I don't really see it going anywhere,

so I'm kind of in the same boat as you.

I think I get you laughing sometimes.

Tell me your best joke.

I don't f*cking know.

You don't have no jokes?

Well, f*ck. No.

Get your funny up, g*ng.

Okay, brother.

How many tickles does
it take to tickle a octopus?

- Tentacles.
- Yeah.

- You're not funny.
- I got one, I got one,

I got one.

How do you wake up
Lady Gaga from a nap?

Poke-her face.

- Damn.
- Yeah.

- Do I suck?
- Yeah.

What did the sushi say to the bee?

- Sushimi.
- No.

Wasabi!

That's not funny either.

Tough crowd.

I feel like this is giving me
hope that, like, real men exist.

This time around, I really do
want to get to know him.

Like, I don't want to jump into physical

and jump into lovey-dovey right away.

I'm just enjoying the ride
and I'm trying to make sure

that I do this right.

Dad jokes don't work on me.

That's not a dad joke.

That was, like, some funny sh*t.

When I first heard that,
I was in tears.

- Really?
- Yeah, deadass.

It's time for bed, and Amaya and Bryan

are back from the Speakeasy.

Silly name, really.

They didn't do much speaking,

but to be fair, they both were quite easy.

I had a conversation with Bryan.

- In the Speakeasy?
- How did that go?

How did it go?

We didn't make no babies, but we kissed.

"We didn't make no babies"
Here you go.

He feeling good.

He's feeling really good.

... Wait, b*tch, what the f*ck?

You have to tell me about what
the f*ck happened with Pepito.

We just had, like, a, ta...

Like, we literally
just got to know each other

'cause, like, I feel like
we haven't done that, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good.

Yeah, I mean, from the rip,

I thought she was a badass girl.

She even...
She was like,

"I kind of want to explore you, too."

I can see it.

I don't know if she's...
I said it from day one,

she's a badass.

Right, which one of you's
been farting all night?

One up now or none of you
are getting breakfast.

Good morning.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

It's a great day to have a great day.

Top of the morning.

I'm ready to take over the world.

Positive vibes are up.

Can't nobody take me down.

Know what I'm gonna do when I leave here?

I'm gonna open up a
"Love Island" breakfast spot.

The conversation went great.

- Like, he literally...
- With Bryan?

Yeah, he checks off everything
on my list that I want, like...

- Yeah?
- We started kissing.

Wow!

I know.

What's up, ladies?

- Wow!
- What's up, guys?

You're sweet.

Me and Clarke are just gonna just eat

over at, like, the sand and sh*t.

Can you grab one of those yellow benches

so I can set, like, plates and sh*t on it?

Planning a date for me and my lady.

You know, to show her
that what we have is real.

We're helping Taylor out today.

- I need some flowers.
- I already got that.

sh*t.

So sweet.

This is too f*cking cute.

- Go stall her. Please.
- Let me go stall her.

Please, please, please.

- For how long?
- Um...

Until I send Ace up there to get her.

Okay.

- Um, Clarke?
- Yeah.

- How are you?
- Good.

You want to sit down here?

Yeah.

There we go.

- Here we go.
- That's what I'm talking about.

- Game time.
- What's your favorite color?

Black.

Ooh!

How do I look?

No, but I have a flower in your mouth.

Get it, get it, get it. Come on.

What's, like, a romantic,
perfect date for you?

Um, like a little picnic.

Aww!

My God, that's so f*cking cute.

Okay.

Yeah.

Come in.

- Good morning, Clarke.
- Good morning.

I will be your waiter for the day.

Okay!

- So, please.
- Yay!

Nice to meet you, waiter.

Here we go, here we go.

My gosh. Okay.

- Close your eyes.
- Okay.

Go right foot, left foot, right foot.

- Left foot. Right foot.
- Wait, I feel like...

Left foot.

Surprise!

My gosh, I can't.

Thank you.

- Love you, man.
- Thank you, Ace.

Now I will be your waiter for the day.

- Okay.
- If you guys need any assistance.

Any drinks, any snacks,

- any napkins?
- Ice water.

Ice water? All right.

He is gone.
What the f*ck?

- sh*t. sh*t!
- The water!

Damn. Water!

Ace, they better tip you well.

sh*t!

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Where shall I sit?

- Damn it, waiter.
- Pink and blue.

What's going on?

He ain't getting no tip.

No, you tip every time.
Even if the service is bad.

Waiter! Waiter!

All right.

No, you sit down, I got this.

- Here's your water.
- Okay. Appreciate it.

This is a five-star restaurant,
he owns this place.

Thank you.

Would you like some ice?

- This is perfect.
- Okay.

My gosh,
I literally have a tear

coming out of my eye.

W man, bro.
W man.

This your first picnic date?

Is it a good first one?

Yes.

Thank you.

I really tried to do a big one.

Especially for the first one.

I love the reassurance
and that you initiate a lot.

What are you gonna do when you leave here?

What are your plans?

Go back, see the fam.
I miss the fam.

Ride them horses, bro.

I had a dream, like, two days ago

that I was riding horses at a rodeo.

That's what's up.

And I woke up and I was like, "f*ck!"

You think you're gonna make it in the...

In the...
In the country world?

I guess I'll have to find out.

Are you ready for this hard knock life?

'Cause it transform you.

It's probably going to take a minute.

I'll never stop being a girly girl.

I'll turn you into a country girl.

I am a country girl.

I'm just not...

Country girl.

You're a country girl, not a cowgirl.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm ready for a hard knock life.

I sometimes want somebody to read my mind,

which I know is very unrealistic,

but, like, that's kind of what this gave.

I woke up to a date and I had
a picnic breakfast, like...

Thank you.

Do you look like your mom
or you look more like your dad?

No, she looks like...
I look more like her.

Sometimes when I look
at boys, I could see them, like,

- looking like their mom.
- Yeah.

Like, boys look like their moms.

So you look like...
More like your dad, then?

- Yeah. He's a very gentle man.
- Yeah.

You know? A lot of my
friends dads were like,

"Don't bring him around here."

- Right, right.
- Like,

- "You're not dating my daughter."
- You're dad's the complete opposite.

Yeah, my dad's like, "It's okay.

As long as you're happy, it's fine."

I love it.

With Iris, it feels comfortable.

I think it's that whole,
you know, your friends to start,

and then maybe it can become
something else, you know?

And I think we're both on the same page.

I'd like to continue to hang out with her,

continue to talk to her,

continue to grow a connection with her.

And, you know, if it grows
into something amazing,

then, you know, sh*t,

that's... that's all we can hope for.

When I was younger, the only thing that me

and my dad really bonded off of was movies.

That was like me and my dad, too.

Really?

Yeah. Your dad's a movie guy?

Yeah, my dad's a music, movie guy.

When I was younger,
I hated my dad's music.

- Yeah, but now I like it.
- And now it's all I listen to.

- Me, too.
- I just love music.

Like, I play a bunch of instruments.

- Yeah. You do?
- Yeah. Yeah.

I play the guitar, the drums, the piano.

You're so, like, interesting.

And I didn't, like, think that you...

- Think that I was interesting?
- No, like,

I... No, I knew you were,

but I was just like, "What?"

One thing
I've noticed about New Yorkers

is they have an incredible ability

to lead any conversation back to New York,

no matter how tenuous it seems.

I already love this view.

Like, this is such a great view.

Even back home in New York,

I would go to the Brooklyn Bridge

or Manhattan Bridge
and just look over the water.

I think it's something about the water.

- For me, it is.
- Yeah.

- For me, it's like...
- Look at this spider.

It's okay. He's, like, just walking away.

You see?
Exposure therapy is real.

I'm not that scared of bugs anymore.

You came in here scared of it?

But you're from New York.

Yeah, but we don't have spiders, babe.

Y'all got rats the size of, like, this.

I'd rather see a rat

- than see a flying dragonfly.
- Hell nah.

You're used to going to
DR all the time, though.

- Yes.
- So how are you...

In El Campo, my grandma,
my grandpa, everybody...

You're family is from
El Campo, too?

- Yes!
- My family is, too.

They're not from the city at all.

Like I'm the first generation
to be born in America,

and I'm also the first nurse of the family.

- Yeah.
- That's something I really
hold close to my chest,

'cause nursing school was not easy for me.

- That sh*t's tough, from what I heard, yeah.
- It was tough.

One of the things
I like about you is, like,

you're smart, you're ambitious.

- Thank you.
- Like, I love that.

Same here goes for you.

Like, I-I feel like
I appreciate the fact

that I could just feel safe around you.

It's good.
It's a good feeling, though.

- It is a good feeling.
- I feel good, for real.

Okay, good.
If you feel good, I feel good.

But, yeah.

I always stress that as I get older,

it's important to be with
someone that keeps you young.

I definitely think
Amaya is that type of person.

It's just Amaya's aura and just her smile

and her eyes just light up a room.

So that's definitely
extremely important to me.

And I think she fits the bill so far.

I miss your kisses.

You can kiss me any time.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Cierra has left the Villa
due to a personal situation,

leaving Nic officially single.

- Are you good?
- I don't really know.

Right before Cierra had left,
my mind was clear.

I knew what the future would look like.

And now I'm lost.

Well, I think now that my
strongest connection has gone,

there's like, you know,

I'll just figure it out from here.

Hard thing to figure out.

Like, at the end of the day,

these are actual feelings
and actual emotions.

Yeah.
And I was not expecting this.

Yeah. Curveball can change everything, man.

True, that.

Are you going to try to explore it?

I don't know.

Whoa!
With Amaya being so busy,

I've had to take over as her assistant.

All right, Amaya darling,

this is your 12:30 catch-up with Zak.

But keep it tight, because
you've got a 12:38 with Elan,

then a 1:00 canoodle with Bryan.

Right? I'm just off
to pick up your dry-cleaning.

I just want to pull you
for a chat, anyways,

because last time I spoke
with you, kind of, like,

- squashed a beef.
- Yeah.

I kind of felt something between us,

and I just felt like, damn, like sh*t.

I really do still care about
this girl a lot, you know?

Yeah, of course.

So, obviously, like, trying
to be more open with how I feel.

I felt like there was still
something there between us.

Out of all the girls in here,

I feel like you understand me the most.

And I feel like I understand you the most.

And I know that for sure.

I got it, I got it.

Apart from all of that,
I just want to know

where your head's at with everything.

I know you've been speaking
to Elan and Bryan a little bit.

Yeah. Of course.
I feel like everybody...

Sorry.
There's a ball stuck up here.

Give me some space, bro.

f*ck me, man!

Speaking of the devil.

It just spawns out of the ground.

Gotta keep you on your toes.
Bye!

I just want you to do what makes you happy.

Happy, yeah.

And also, like, I feel like
you deserve the world, you know?

Thank you.

Out of all the girls
I've spoken to,

like, I find myself, like,

wanting to speak to you
more and more, you know?

And I'm still open
to our connection, as well.

Yeah. I think we should just
have a clean slate.

That's basically where we are now.

We're on page one.

Like, the old book
was thrown away into the sea.

And this is a new book now,
but we'll just see.

You know, I'm open to what we have.

I'm not closed off,
and I don't hold any grudge.

Yeah. Let it be.

You know, we're starting fresh.

We're starting something new again.

But you have to put in the work.

You have to be the man.
Like, listen.

I'm not going to have a sugar
rush anymore from the word candy

that you're feeding me,

because actions and words
are two different things.

That being said, listen.
I just want you to be happy.

Thank you. Same here.

- Like I said, honestly...
- We have no beef.

There's no qualms between any of us.

Yeah? I just want you
to be happy, all right?

Thank you so much, Zak.

You good?

Ace has spent the last 20 minutes waiting

for Chelley to come down from the terrace

and trying to take his sandal off.

- What?
- I woke up in a great-a*s mood.

You look like it.

Yeah, I'm all cheesy and smiley and sh*t.

What was it like growing up for you?

It was like a roller coaster,
if I'm being honest.

You know, things were
never perfect, like, ever.

But it was, like,

always make the best
of the situation that you have.

You're being told like, "like, we have to move out."

Like, "We don't know
what we're going to do,

but we have to move out the house."

And we ended up, like, moving to a shelter

for like a while it felt like,

and it was just so much crazy
stuff where I was just like,

"How did life switch so fast?"

But my siblings, since
there's so many of us,

like, we just, like,
was able to lean on each other.

You know? We got past that,
and now I'm happy.

Like, my family is in
a way better position.

Like, it was good overall.

How was it growing up for you?

For me,
I remember through high school,

I'm going to school in a nice neighborhood,

and I'm going back home

in Watts or Long Beach or sh*t like that.

And I'm sleeping on a damn beach chair.

You know what I mean?

So, like, sh*t like that,

it makes you appreciate life
a little bit more.

So, that's why I feel like I've
grown up really, really fast.

I've been through a lot
of sh*t very, very early.

And, I don't know,

it's been tough for me
to find that sense of happiness

or a place where I feel like I belong.

No, absolutely.

I definitely feel like
Ace is always peeling layers

of himself with me.

That makes me feel happy because
that shows a big part of trust.

It's just very telling of, like,

how powerful our relationship actually is.

I definitely feel like everything

we go through is for a reason.

It's just part of your
story, and that's it.

Yeah.

You all right?

I don't even know at this point.

Y'all were the only
ones that was closed off

and the ones I consider to have
the best and strong connection.

Yeah.

Obviously, it's a weird thing
for all of us to navigate,

especially you.

Cierra left, and Nic is single.

I don't know what's going to happen.

You know what I see happening?

What do you see?

I see, and it's just a thought...

I know they kind of had like a thing.

You know, maybe they could rekindle.

Yeah.
That's not, like, impossible.

Don't count it out.

We shall see, though, I guess.

Ever since Cierra's been here,

it's been like more so
y'all's journey conjoined.

Yeah.

It's never really just been
about Nic's journey.

You always considered the person
you was in a couple with,

which I love.
You know what I mean?

So, this is obviously
a weird predicament to be in.

So, it's like, however
I can be there for you

in this time of need,

you know I will do that,
whatever that looks like.

No, and I appreciate that.

Look at them, yo.

I told you.

Just smile and wave.

I just really feel
like you have, like, my back.

And when I think
about, like, a girl in here

who I have been enjoying my time with

and who I'm comfortable with
and, like, who I'm attracted to,

yeah, someone
I feel who would have my back,

like, that person would be you for me.

Aww!

I feel like that thing
I really appreciate about you

is, like, bringing out I feel
like a manlier side of me.

And I think when I'm goofy,
I feel like I bring out, like,

a little bit of that funnier side to you.

- Yeah, yeah.
- I think just now it's like,

I don't know, keep on chugging.

Keep on chugging, man.

Olandria, I know that she'll
have my back no matter what.

I've always appreciated her fierce loyalty.

I think she's someone I just
enjoy spending my time with.

And that's what I'm looking for.

Do you feel like you're open to connections

- at this point?
- Yeah, definitely.

Y'all saved me for a reason,

so why would I let that go to waste?

You get what I'm saying?
Me and Zak, we chat.

Like, obviously, I'm still open
to knowing him, as well.

Yeah.
What about Taylor and Clarke?

How are you feeling about that?

I never was mad at the fact

that Taylor found a new connection.

I was just mad at the fact
that how Taylor went about it

when it came to me.

I love how they are with each other.

They're making great progress
since I've seen them,

so I can't do nothing but support it.

Yeah.

How'd you feel about Clarke and
Taylor being, like, 10th place?

I felt great.

I don't know why you thought
I was gonna be fake as f*ck.

You know I'm a real b*tch.
f*ck!

You thought I was gonna give a PR answer?

Hell, no!

Nic, you know me. You know!

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Elan said my jokes weren't funny

and it really hurt my feelings.

But don't worry, my bestie Amaya

has agreed to exact my revenge.

Ooh!

You're okay.

I'm so sorry.

- You're fine.
- My God.

I'm so sorry.

Return hit. Unacceptable.

Actually, I'm gonna hold that against you.

My God, please don't call 911 on me.

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

I woke up feeling great,

and I'm ready to take over the world.

I love that.

How did you wake up?

- Thank you for the pancakes...
- Honestly, very much

- the same.
- This morning.

Of course.
My pleasure.

- Yeah.
- I love doing it.

It's very therapeutic.

What's your favorite type of food?

Ooh, that's a good question.

Probably, like, Latin food or...

- Ooh!
- Yeah. Any kind of Latin food.

I will eat, like,
an infinite amount of tacos.

My family and I do Tuesday tacos.

- Taco Tuesday!
- Yeah.

We literally make
the best tacos in the world.

So, are you a good chef, then?



- Really? What's your dish?
- But, like...

Tres leches or flan.

Have you heard of flan before?

Now you're speaking my language.

Those are, like, one of
my two favorite desserts.

I was about to bring you back to life.

I'm like, "sh*t!
Call the medic, call the medic!"

- I love it. My God.
- Yeah, yeah.

I don't like living life boring at all.

Like, I don't even want to be
a boring grandma

when I reach that grandma age.

- f*ck no.
- I'll be the 80-year-old grandma

- doing a handstand.
- Yes!

Practicing my meditation.

Like, that's one of my worst fears.

Just aging and the excitement
of life slowly going away.

I totally feel that.

I think Amaya is a great girl.

She wears her heart on her sleeve.

She's always giving me energy back,

and I really like that.

I like to live a super adventurous life.

I'm, like, an adventurous girl myself.

For me, that's like one of
the big, like, non-negotiables.

I might skydive after this.

Like, yo, if I could survive "Love Island,"

- I could survive, f*cking...
- For sure.

- Die-skyving.
- Yeah.

I don't know exactly what
Zak's flirting technique is,

but he seems to be channeling my mum

when I come home for the holidays.

Can I get you anything
to make you more comfortable?

- No. I'm good.
- No drinks? Snacks?

- No.
- Just chat, yeah?

- Yeah, just chat.
- Okay.

sh*t.

You're so sweet.

What sort of guy are you looking for?

You know, 'cause you're
a very independent woman.

- I know.
- I know that,

and I'm a very independent guy, too.

- Really?
- You know, I take care of my brothers,

take care of my sister,
take care of my mums,

I take care of everybody.

So you check the number one
thing off my list,

is a provider.

Providing for me is
not just for financial reasons.

I got my own sh*t.
I got my own job.

I got my own career.

Like, bills is going to
get paid regardless,

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

But being able to provide
me emotional support,

you know, that sh*t goes a long
f*cking way to me, yeah.

I can definitely provide in terms of, like,

emotional support,
but I'm also a handyman too.

You know, I can fix the house,
I can...

- I like that. That's manly sh*t.
- You know what I'm saying?

I'm a handyman...
Anything breaks in my house,

my mom would call me like,
"Zak, the cable's broke,"

- the TV's broke."
- Really?

I don't... I don't know what it is.

I just know what to do, you know?

I like that.

What do you want in a woman?

For me, I just want somebody
who gets me, you know?

- Yeah.
- And I just want somebody

who loves me the way
I give love out.

- Yeah.
- 'Cause I feel like

if I find the right woman and she, like,

she's all about me,
I'm all about her...

I'm gonna give her everything.

- I love it.
- You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I truly, truly, truly

love talking to Zak.

The things that we both align
ourselves with kind of match.

He's so cute, right?
Am I tripping?

I f*ck with you heavy, Olandria.

I f*ck with your mindset,

- I f*ck with you as a person.
- Thank you.

We can take it, you
know, a little bit more.

I am so open to that.

- Yeah.
- You have no idea.

I feel like sometimes I look at you like,

damn, I just want to kiss
this girl, you know?

I don't also want to force it, you know?

- I want it to be natural.
- Yeah.

I want it to be as natural as possible.

Anything that's forced,
is going to come to light.

- You know what I mean?
- I've already tested that once,

- and I'm not doing it again.
- Look at you learning.

- I'm so proud of you.
- I'm trying.

- You know, I'm trying.
- So proud of you.

So much growth.

I'm trying. Yeah.

But as of now,
I'm happy where we're at.

Yeah, me too.

- Me too.
- Appreciate you.

Girl, I don't know if you know this,

but I've been having
chats all m*therf*cking day.

I know, girl, you're a*s is busy as f*ck.

First of all, I need to be
over here hydrating myself.

Your f*cking throat
is probably dry as hell.

Girl, my throat... Hold on.

- Let me swallow some saliva.
- Drier than the Sahara Desert.

So you can moisturize...

- Text?
- I got a text!

Okay, okay. All right.

sh*t.

Damn!

Damn!

- What the f*ck?
- Crazy.

I am a little bit nervous.

You always have the uncertainty of, like,

what's going to happen,
who's going to pick who still?

- Yeah. This is f*cked.
- Here we go.

I know Amaya, she's gonna have it hard.

- She is.
- What is the biggest

standout for each one right now?

As of right now, I love
the fact that Bryan was, like,

one of the only guys
who stood up for me there.

Elan, he's a sweet gentleman guy.

And then the thing is, with Zak, like,

of course I was
physically attracted to him,

- especially at first.
- Yeah.

'Cause I know your type is, like, tattoos.

- Tattoos, you know.
- I know. Yeah.

He's a very, very handsome man.

- He is.
- Yeah.

Them three right there...

Bryan, Zak, and Elan...

Fighting for Amaya Papaya.

I am a little worried, though.

About what?

I feel like all three
of my boys are on the line.

All of my energy,
I want to focus it on you.

I really like the person that you are

- and how you hold yourself.
- Thank you.

Um, I just wanted to let
you know where I stand.

I'm definitely worried

about the two other guys going for Amaya.

But at least I know
I've laid it all out.

At the end of the day, whatever
happens tonight happens,

and I know I've given it my all.

Looking at you...

You changed a lot of things for me.

I can be myself around you.

You make me feel safe.

I want you to make the right decision

- that's going to make you happy.
- Yeah.

And whatever decision you make, Amaya,

I'm gonna support you all the way.

Zak!

I've done my best to express

how I feel to Amaya and Olandria.

It would suck if I didn't get
picked by neither those girls.

I'm just hoping
I've done enough.

You're getting pulled
a hundred different ways.

I feel like you're
the popular girl here right now.

I can't believe that
it's happening tonight.

That's really, really crazy to me.

Like I said, I'm gonna be me.

All the time.
I want you to be you.

- So, it's, like...
- No, 100%.

My head is in scrambles.

These are three amazing guys,

and it's like, ""

Can we please just pause right now?

Guys, I have a headache.

I think I might need ibuprofen because...

No. f*ck.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

The mood is very tense
before the recoupling,

so I thought I'd lighten
the mood with a little joke.

My dog's terrible at dancing.

He's got two left feet.

What'd you think of that,
Chelley?

Going all black.
Could be my funeral tonight.

Guys, I'm really stressing
the f*ck out about tonight.

Right now I feel nothing
but f*cking moths in my stomach.

I'm nervous.

You know what?
I've gone in there,

I've done what I needed to do.

Expressed how I feel.

You truly never know
what the f*ck could happen.

- f*ck.
- This shall be interesting.

Yes, I am a big empath and I'm like, f*ck!

Like, you know, I do feel for
the guys, but you know what?

Maybe they should be feeling
a little stressed right now.

Um, I just want to say

thank you to every single one of you guys

for being amazing people.

This is to tonight and just great vibes.

- Pinkies up, but...
- Got it.

- Yeah.
- Where are you going?

- Someplace special.
- sh*t. All right.

I knew my family be taken...

- Someplace really special.
- Really special?

- Yeah.
- I love that.

God.

I feel like Amaya always seems to, like,

find her heel in,
like, the holes of the floor.

Wait, so y'all was
talking about what with Elan?

Hold up.

Do the honors.

Such a gentleman.

Nic.

Um, I guess
I just wanted to have, like,

one last conversation before tonight.

I think it's, like, an important night.

- No. For sure.
- Yeah. Are you nervous?

I'm nervous as sh*t.

Trying to choose between somebody knowing

you're going to let somebody
down like that is just like...

- Man!
- I think you're, like,

the sweetest person.

And I would like to keep,
you know, continuing,

like, having each other's back.

And you bring out, like,
a lot of good things in me

that I don't see too much of myself.

- Nic.
- So I just appreciate you a lot.

Literally, like, getting dumped
from Casa probably has been,

like, such a blow to my experience.

And just seeing your face
when I opened those doors,

it's just like, damn.

Although I just felt so crazy.

Just seeing your face
brought me so much calmness

'cause I was like,
"this is my guy," like...

The thing I really enjoy about Olandria

is we kind of are always on the same page.

I just lost, like, a pretty
serious connection with someone.

So now it's taking the time

as if it were, like, day one, I guess.

Obviously we have such a crazy bond

and it's just so crazy to me

how our journey has been so much alike...

- It really has.
- And how we keep

finding ourselves back into these moments.

End even exploring you at that time,

like, I feel like
our heads were very clouded.

Obviously, your head was more on Cierra,

mine was more so on Taylor.

And now that we're
in a position to where, like,

none of those connections
technically "exist"

at this point in moment,

I truly feel like I wouldn't
mind exploring that still.

Although we didn't find that initial spark,

I feel like it's because
our minds were somewhere else.

It was not here.
You get what I'm saying?

Yeah, no, I think,

"Nilandria" has a nice ring to it.

- Nilandria's insane.
- Yeah.

We can work on that.
We can work on that.

I'm a little nervous
going into this recoupling

because having options actually
makes this whole thing harder.

I wish it was just a one-way street,

but all good things must come to an end.

You know, whatever you decide tonight,

like, I'm truly, like,
happy to even get to know you

- and be in your presence.
- Yeah.

Nic, give me a hug.

I love our chats.

I feel like they're always so good.

That dramatic music means
Ariana is here.

Bad news for the islanders,
but great news for me.

I've been dying for a piece
since the show started.

So you take it from here,
Ms. Madix.

Hey!

Would you two like to join me
at the fire pit, please?

- I would love that.
- I... Yeah.

Yo, I used to know all the moon phases,

and I don't remember them anymore.

Ariana is here.

sh*t.

Ariana!

Hi, islanders.

- Hi!
- What's up?

Can you all join me
at the fire pit, please?

Yes.

When you said very soon,
I didn't think it was this soon.

It's always sooner than you think.

Wow. She looks gorgeous.

- You look wonderful.
- Thank you.

She still scares me every time she...

- Yeah.
- She still sends, like,

chills down my spine.

Tonight, girls will be choosing the boy

they want to couple up with.

Any boy that's not in a couple...

Will be leaving the island tonight.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

It's time for the recoupling,
and the girls are in control.

Okay, girls, I'm gonna ask you
to stand up one at a time

and tell me who you want
to couple up with and why.

Chelley, you're up first.

Please stand up.

Tell us who you'd like
to couple up with and why.

I would like to couple up
with this boy because

we've been on quite the journey.

Through it all,
I felt very reassured,

appreciated.

I think he went the extra mile
to not only tell me

that I was his number one,

but show me that I was his number one.

I asked him to let down
his walls a little bit with me,

and even though I know it took a
lot out of him, he did do that.

And that showed me that he trusts me,

and I could trust him as well.

We've had our roller coaster,

but I seen that we can see it through

and that we just continue
to grow closer together.

This boy makes me feel very special.

Every day I feel like I get butterflies,

and I feel like that's something

you usually have in the beginning.

But to still feel that tells me
a lot about our connection, so.

The boy that I would like
to couple up with is...

Ace.

Congratulations, Ace.
You can go and join Chelley.

He was cheesing the whole time.

Thank you. Of course.

Ace, you look happy.
How are you feeling?

I wouldn't want to spend this experience

with anybody else but her.

You know, she's the person
who makes me smile the most.

I feel like she's
listening when I'm talking.

She understands me.

And that's something
I look forward to

and spending the rest
of my moments with her.

Aww.

Clarke, you're up next.

Please stand.

Tell us who you'd like
to couple up with and why.

I'd like to couple up with this boy

because from the very beginning,

he's been overly considerate,

making sure that I'm comfortable,

continuously checking in on me.

I love what we have going on right now.

I'm looking forward
to continuing to learn more

about him and growing our connection.

Yeah, I'm a happy girl.

So the boy that I would like
to couple up with is...

Taylor!

Congratulations, Taylor.

Go and get your girl.

That's my girl.

Taylor, how does it feel
being a couple with Clarke?

It feels real good
being a couple with Clarke.

You know, coupling up
with her the first time and,

you know, spending every day with her,

it's been a good feeling.

And, you know,
I'm ready to keep this going

and see how far we can get with it.

Huda, it's over to you.

Okay.

Who would you like to
couple up with and why?

f*ck, I'm... I'm nervous.

I would like to couple up
with this boy because

I feel like the beginning of our journey

was a really last-minute decision.

But it was a risk worth taking

because this boy has done more
than I could have imagined

in terms of a man.

Liking someone can be scary for me,

and this person knows
why I'm the way that I am

and why I love the way that I love

and has never judged me for it.

I feel like whenever I'm around him,

I'm just so calm, which
is really new for me.

He's just extremely thoughtful,

which is something also new to me,

and I could see it going somewhere further

in the outside world.

He makes me really happy.

I get nervous around him,
which is also weird.

But it's all good things that are new,

and I don't want to end it.

So the boy I would like
to couple up with is...

Chris.

Congratulations, Chris.
You can go and join Huda.

Let's go, Chris.

Yes.

Chris, how do you feel

hearing all those
wonderful things about you?

I'm giddy right now.

- I ain't gonna lie to you.
- Aww.

Hearing that makes me feel really good,

reassured, and confident in this connection

going forward with it for sure.

Are you happy that Huda chose you?

Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Good luck to you.

Okay, Iris, we're coming to you next.

- Okay.
- Who would you like to couple up

with and why?

I would like to couple up
with this boy because

although we've had a similar rough journey

coming in here,

this boy has made me feel very
comfortable speaking to him.

And that's something
that's really important to me.

I've been having a good time
getting to know him more

and having more conversations with him,

and I'm really excited to see

how our journey here
in Love Island blossoms.

Honestly, I feel like
I can just kind of be myself

and have fun with this boy.

So the boy I would like
to couple up with is...

Pepe.

Congratulations, Pepe.

You can join Iris at the fire pit.

Olandria, please stand up.

It's time to decide.

Who are you going to
couple up with and why?

I would like to couple up
with this boy because

he's always expressed
how much he's valued me

as a person, valued our bond.

He has a crazy, quirky personality.

I've loved him from the moment
that I met him.

I'm super excited
to spend the rest of my days

with this person.

The boy I would like
to couple up with is...

- Yeah!
- Congratulations, Nick.

You can join Olandria at the fire pit.

That's my dawg.

Nick, how does it feel to be
in a couple with Olandria again?

It feels familiar, I think.

Obviously my strong connection
is no longer in the villa,

so, um, I think this time
around, it's... it's about,

you know, focusing
on each other, giving it 100%.

I think that what I can do as
a man is just be there for her

and take care of her as best as I can.

And so I'm just focused on that

and making her mean, you know,
bacon, egg, and cheese

- in the morning, so...
- Yeah, there you go.

And you guys already have
an amazing friendship.

- Yeah.
- I feel like since night one.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So, you know, we'll see.

- We'll see.
- Yeah. It's exciting.

Amaya, you're the last to pick.

Please stand up.

Okay.

I'm nervous.

Amaya, you're currently
coupled up with Zak,

but Elan and Bryan
have been showing interest,

and you've been getting to know
both of them, as well.

How have the last few days been for you?

Um, I mean, it's been a pleasure

getting to know each and every single one

of the gentlemen in front of me.

They are all special in their own way.

But now it is time to follow
my gut and my intuition.

Well, whoever you don't choose
to couple up with

will be leaving the Villa tonight.

So, Amaya, who would you like
to couple up with and why?

I would like to couple up
with this boy because...

he recognized the queen that I am.

He allows me to illuminate

without ever trying to dim my light.

This has been an extremely
difficult decision for me.

It's not about just platonic.

It's about something
that I see in my future.

He's very special to me.

I feel like he understands me
in different ways.

I know I could be
a little bit fiery sometimes,

but it's like he's the water
to the fire-ness,

and it's the perfect balance for me.

So the boy I would like
to couple up with is...

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

The recoupling is almost over.

Only Amaya remains, and
she has a big decision to make.

- I'm nervous.
- You got this, girl.

- You got it, baby girl.
- Go with your gut.

The boy I would like
to couple up with is...

- Bryan.
- Congratulations, Bryan.

You can join Amaya.

Hi.

Aww!
Y'all are so cute.

Bryan, how do you feel about
being the water to her fire?

I feel amazing.
Honestly, like,

just hearing those things just reassures me

that everything I'm saying is...
I'm letting her be her.

I always told her,
don't ever change who you are.

Be you unapologetically.

And I really want to provide,
like, a safe area

for her to be in.

And crazy that she
provides that for me, too.

So definitely loving everything
I'm hearing.

You're making me blush.

Amaya, how do you feel hearing that?

I mean, like, this is the first time

I've felt, like, my face getting hot.

It's amazing.

He makes me feel very safe and protected.

I mean, I cannot wait to see
what the journey has for us.

It's going to be a beautiful story.

- Yeah, for sure.
- Congratulations, guys.

- Thank you.
- No, y'all look good together.

Zak and Elan, you haven't been
chosen to be in a couple.

And that means that your time on
Love Island is over.

Zak, how are you feeling?

I said to her, "Listen,

whoever you pick,
I'm going to support you."

As long as you're happy,

I'm happy for you, because she deserves it.

- You know?
- Thank you, Zak.

I feel very much the same way.

I mean, we have so many amazing girls here

and so many amazing guys,
and at the end of the day,

I've gotten to know each
and every single one of them,

and I just want every single one
of them to be happy.

- Casa Boys for life, man.
- Casa Boys for life.

Thank you, guys.

I'll leave you guys to pack your suitcases

and say your goodbyes.

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

- Bye.
- Bye, Ariana.

Congrats.

I'm ready to go, bro.

- Brother, come over here, man.
- Let's go!

- Hey, Zak.
- Hey, darling.

Those are two of my guys, for real.

I'm sad to see them go.

I'm happy for the decision you made, yo.

I believe that Zak is a good guy.

The romantic part of us did not work out,

but I cannot wait for us to be
great friends outside of here.

Ooh, child.

Amaya, how are you feeling
being coupled up with Bryan?

I mean, our connection is fresh,

but it's really growing
into something so beautiful.

- I feel really happy.
- And I can tell you do.

Like, even what you were saying up there,

I was just like, "Wow."
I just loved it.

- Yeah.
- Olandria.

Y'all always in my damn business.

We ain't even...
We all up in it.

So, what's tea?

Like, we both got dumped from Casa.

Just a little different,
but it's the same sh*t.

Literally. And then now, like,
our connections are...

You know what I mean?
So it's just like...

And now it's us again.

I'm like, "Alright, let's see what the f*ck

this is really about
and let's truly navigate this

couple sh*t the right way this time."

Was it supposed to be us all along?

I do really find it, like, amazing

how you guys just keep
on finding each other.

- For sure.
- I love that.

What I love is, like,
how some of these connections

have started off as friends first.

- I think that's so important.
- I've never had that.

I think it's great.
Like, I'm feeling good.

Yeah, I'm really happy
for every single one of us.

Yes. Same here.

- Group hug.
- Yes, of course.

But I'm like,
I need a hug from everybody,

because I'm so happy to be here
with all of you gorgeous girls.

Love you guys.

Going into the experience,

you know you're not going to finish

with everybody you came in with.

But those are my two Casa bros.

So knowing that Elan and Zak won't be here.

Tomorrow morning is definitely
a tough pill to swallow.

Love you all.
Take care.

See you later.
See you soon.

Yeah.

It's sad that it's come
to an end right now,

but, like, Amaya...
She's a special girl and that.

And I wish them both nothing but the best.

I think I've had an incredible experience.

And at the end of the day,

what's meant to be is meant to be.

After Olandria's decision,
Nic is with his girls,

seeing if there's a
chance sparks could fly.

And Zak is with a
Spirit Airlines employee

seeing if there's any chance
of extra legroom.

Manchester is far.

- Yeah.
- Thank you, thank you.

- We meet again.
- We meet again.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm excited.

Thank you again for believing
in me and believing in this.

I couldn't imagine me picking
someone else other than you,

because I truly feel
like we have had a bond

since the beginning.

Yeah, and I'm super-thankful
for your words, too,

that you had said.

Like, it's really cool to,

you know, hear the person
that I've tried to be here,

and, like, you really made me feel like,

validated for that and reassured.

So I think it's cool we
get to try it again with, like,

- more clarity this time.
- Right.

But I'm gonna be honest,
I still get nervous, like,

talking to you.

What?!
Nic, like, what day is it?

- Seriously.
- I swear. I swear. I swear.

- Me?
- Yeah.

- Why?
- I don't know why.

- I don't know.
- I love it.

- Yeah.
- Love to keep you on your toes.

Exactly.

- Aww!
- Serious.

It's crazy, because for both of us,

none of us pictured this being
our reality towards the end.

I truly feel like we built the foundation

of the friendships and things like that.

We don't have to start over with that sh*t.

So I feel like we've gotten the
hard part over with, you know?

And it's kind of, like, this little game,

like... I'm not going to say
little cat-and-mouse game

we've been playing, but it's like...

- A bit, yeah,
- Basically, right?

And it's just like, how the f*ck
do we keep ending up here?

It's like, was this supposed
to be the story all along?

I'm not against it,
but it's like it's really

throwing me off because, like,
the signs were there.

Were we just purposely oblivious to it?

Out of respect for certain people,

it's like I never pursued you,

especially as we started to
progress within this experience.

I think, vice versa, like, the respect

for, obviously, Taylor
and your respect for Cierra.

Exactly. I'm just ready to navigate this

new experience with you
the right way this time,

without all the crazy drama surrounding it.

This sh*t keeps happening for a reason.

You know what I mean?

Like, it's always
Nic and Olandria.

And for our journey to be almost
identical is mind-blowing to me.

I don't even... I can't wrap
my head around this situation.

Like, maybe it was
Nic this whole time,

and we've just been so oblivious to it.

So now I'm fixated on the situation at hand

and I'm going to give it my all this time.


I don't see why not.

I'm super-excited, too.

I couldn't imagine,
like, all this experience

with someone better than you.

These crazy moments
has led us to each other twice.

I'm just super-excited to see what's there.
