Bryan: Reunion day.
Everybody back together.
Amaya: Mm-hmm.
- There's a lot
of love in the air,
but there's also a lot
of miscommunication,
a little animosity.
Amaya: Right.

Ariana: Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
I'm Ariana Madix and I'm ready
to break down all
of the twists and turns
that went down
this summer in Fiji.
And joining me tonight
is the one and only Andy Cohen.
- Hey, Ariana.
Amaya: Yeah!
- [whooping]
Andy: This is exciting.
Thank you for having me.
And might I say
you look gorgeous.
- So do you, Andy.
- What a bombshell.
- Oh. Thank you.
- [laughter]
- Do you wanna recouple?
- Yes.
- [laughter]
- The night is young.
- Sure is.
Andy: Yeah.
- Thank you, Andy.
And I want you
to meet our final four couples.
Amaya: Yes.
Ariana: We have Amaya and Bryan.
We have Huda and Chris.
Olandria and Nic.
And Iris and Pepe.
Andy: It is so great
to meet you all
after being obsessed
with you all summer.
This is really surreal
for me, actually.
- Right?
Andy: Yes.
- Starstruck. I know.
- Yes I am.
- Me too, actually.
Andy: Yeah.
Ariana: All right.
Well, first of all,
I want to say hello
to our winners,
Amaya and Bryan.
Amaya: Hi!
- [Bryan speaks indistinctly]
Ariana: Hi. How are you guys
feeling today?
- I'm feeling great.
- Yeah.
- Uh, happy to be here.
- Did you miss being
in the villa with these guys?
- Uh, I would have to say so.
- Yeah, hell yeah.
- A little bit
of separation anxiety.
Like, not waking up
next to 20 people anymore
is kind of like--
Bryan: Yeah.
[laughter]
Andy: Hi, Iris and Pepe.
I gotta say,
you two look great together.
- Thank you. [chuckles]
- Thank you.
- Appreciate it.
- Olandria and Nic.
Olandria: Hi!
- How are you guys doing?
- We're good.
- I have to ask, do you prefer...
Nicolandria
or Freako Nico?
[laughter]
- Freako Nico!
- You know--
- [laughs] Freako Nico.
Olandria: It's surprising
but, okay, Freako Nico it is.
- Yes.
- Freako Nico it is, okay.
- [Amaya laughing]
- Hi, Huda.
Huda: Hi!
You are serving
Mamacita tonight.
- Thank you.
Andy: Yes!
- I appreciate it.
- [Amaya chortling]
Andy: How do you feel
about tonight?
- I feel fine, I'm good.
I'm coming
in here with good vibes.
So, like, I have all
positive vibes in here.
Andy: Good.
Huda: Yeah.
Ariana: Hi, Chris.
- Yo.
- Looking handsome as ever.
Like the fit.
- Thank you. I appreciate that.
- Thank you.
- How are you doing today?
- Sensational.
Ariana: How has it been
for all of you guys
getting to know each other
outside of the villa?
- It's been great. Yeah.
Our friendship
has just been growing,
and I feel like we all, like,
experience
a universal experience together.
So we relate on that
and we just,
like, grow from there.
- And we were all together
in a house for a week
after the villa.
So, like, we all got to...
- Yeah, that was pretty cute.
- ...experience each other.
Ariana: Yeah, I saw that online.
- Nice.
- We snuggled.
[laughs] We snuggled a lot.
- Ooh, Lord.
- Oh, wait...
Chelley: This is what's going on
out there right now?
- [Andy speaking indistinctly]
- [Amaya laughs]
- Wow.
Clarke: Okay, Andy.
Amaya: ...acknowledge that.
- Look at that final four.
They look good.
Ariana: Well, we have a lot
to get through,
so let's get right into it.
From day one drama
to final four fireworks,
their journey has been
nothing short of a ride.
Here's how they made it
all the way to the finish line.
[***]
Now is your chance to explore
a spark
you haven't acted on yet.
And your identity
will stay hidden.
- Which islander do you think
other than your partner
is the best kisser?
- [all] Whoa!
- Olandria.
[cheering]
Olandria!
I do enjoy kissing her.
I think she's super sexy
to say the least.
[phone message tone]
- Olandria, you have not been
picked to be in a couple.
- Nic, you have 30 minutes
to pack your bags
and say your goodbyes.
- Quick! Hurry up. Get in!
Come on. Hurry!
- The f*ck?
What are you doing here?
You can couple up and return
to the villa together.
- I think there's only one
right answer. [laughs]
Let's go
to the f*cking villa.
- We're going to the villa, baby.
- What the f*ck?
- We always have chemistry
during-during every challenge.
- I'm trying to see
if there's anything
outside of the challenges.
[laughing]
- Ooh!
- I didn't see this yet.
Amaya: Oh!
Pepe: I chose
my bombshell sister
coming in here
to get into the ball pit with.
[cheering]
♪ You should ♪
♪ Come and show me ♪
♪ What you got ♪
[whooping]
- Woo!
- Yeah.
- Honestly, Pepe is hot.
I don't know why, but,
like, in my head,
like, I had you, like, in a box,
like, you know.
- You can't touch it. [chuckles]
Iris: Yeah, exactly.
[chortles]
- Any girl who lives
in North Carolina
kiss a boy who lives
in California.
Zak: Yo, Chris. Chris.
- The one-arm!
Elan: One arm! One arm.
Chelley: Yes!
Amaya: Take your time.
Chris: God damn, girl, like...
where did that come from?
Like, you might be
on the radar now, girl.
- We have another
brand-new couple.
- Like, I'm really, really happy.
- Give me a kiss.
- Right now?
- Yeah.
- You wanna ki--
Chris: Wow.
- I'm not ready
to kiss in front of people.
- We're not seeing eye to eye.
[***]
- When you saying, "Babe,
can I grab this for you?
Babe, can I do this?"
It's just a matter
of meeting people
at that middle ground.
- One thing I got to add, though,
coming
from a Hispanic household,
that's just how we talk.
You're telling her
to meet you halfway?
You gotta meet her halfway, too.
Don't let the sh*t
that was said...
Amaya: Mm-hmm.
- ...change you.
- Yeah.
- Because...
someone like me...
- Mm-hmm.
...loves that type of sh*t.
You know what I'm saying?
- He is flirtatious,
I'm flirtatious, and then, boom.
It just blossom into something
beautiful, you know?
[laughing]
I'm getting excited for us.
Bryan: Yeah, I'm happy as hell.
- I feel like we have
something, like, great going.
[***]
- Two misunderstood people
understanding each other.
- Right?
- [laughs]
[***]
Chris: I don't play
with my sleep.
- I think we should just be fun.
[***]
I love you a lot.
[sniffles]
- Like I never would have guessed
in a million years that, like...
it wou-- I would be
ending it with you.
- Me neither.
- I'm like, I'm really--
I'm really glad that I am.
Ariana: Nicolandria!
Olandria: Okay, Nicolandria!
- We have, like,
this happy ending,
and we're like, now,
we can ride off into the sunset.
[***]
- I want to make stuff exclusive
with us and prioritize us.
I want to continue taking
- [squeals in joy]
- ...the right steps with you
and attacking
the outside world with you.
- Yes.
- [laughs]
- The winners...
of Love Island USA 2025 are...
Amaya and Bryan!
[cheering]
Bryan: Yo!
- [applause]
[whooping]
- Amaya's got the zoomies.
[laughs]
[***]
♪ Want me to say ♪
♪ there's a thing called love ♪
Ariana: Too cute.
- So, Amaya,
you live in New York?
- Yes.
Andy: Bryan, you live in Boston?
How are you making
this long-distance thing work?
- It's honestly really easy.
Amaya: Yeah.
- It's a 35 minute flight.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- Uh, three hour drive, so...
she came over and met,
uh, my two best friends.
- My mom. My dad.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Bryan: My mom loved Amaya.
She shed a--
- Oh, my God. That's my best--
- She shed a tear
when she left. I was like, wow.
Amaya: Yeah.
She's a sensitive gangster, too.
Bryan: Yeah. [laughs]
- We both started crying
and Bryan was like,
what did I just walk into?
And I was like,
babe, happy tears.
[Bryan and Amaya laugh]
- So since leaving the villa,
there's been a lot
of speculation
about where the two of you are,
uh, where your relationship is.
Bryan, there was a video,
uh, that sparked a lot of rumors
about you cheating--
- [laughs] Oh, my God.
Andy: Uh, partying
with other girls.
Uh, we know the internet
had a lot of opinions,
but, uh, walk us through
what's been going on?
- [Amaya chuckles]
- Yeah, I think they're trying
to just throw any hate my way.
And within the cheating video,
the hosting,
I got paid to be there.
I used to bartend
back in the day.
I had a lapse of judgment
and we've talked about it.
- Mm.
- And yeah.
- Yeah.
- The lapse in judgment was what?
- Uh, pouring shots around,
giving the crowd shots
and stuff like that.
Amaya: Yeah, yeah.
Bryan: Yeah.
Amaya: We definitely spoke
about it.
And I'm also like, not a woman
that would be with someone
who doesn't respect me.
So if I'm with him
and still with him,
it's clearly because
the relationship dynamic
is healthy and great.
- Chris, you and Zac C,
were out with Bryan
uh, on the night
of the alleged cheating.
What-What are your thoughts?
- I ain't see sh*t.
- [laughs] Oh, yeah.
- Ain't sh*t happen.
- Were you there
for Bryan in that moment
during the aftermath?
Chris: Yeah, I just told him
just keep being you, bro.
Like, don't worry
about that sh*t.
Internet is its own world.
Like, we can't control
what people put
or what people say, so...
- Yeah.
Chris: But as long
as we know the truth,
it's straight.
- Elan pulls his pinky toe
for, like, one day,
and he was like--
[laughter]
- Amaya!
- What happened?
- He cheated on her.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God, I swear,
like, that's not the case
whatsoever.
[cackling]
- Yeah.
- I swear.
- Not the pinky toe.
- But, um...
we just prioritize
our relationship
and we're kind of, like,
tunnel vision with it.
You know,
like, I'm very confident
in-in our connection,
and I feel like you are, too.
- Yeah, the comfortability
is definitely there,
and we're just growing.
- Yeah.
- Pepe, you've told fans,
uh, that since leaving
the villa,
the two of you are exclusive.
Congratulations.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
- [both chuckle]
- Have you had conversations
about taking the next step?
- Um, we've had conversations
about what dating looks like
to-to one another--
[laughter]
Pepe: And it looks
very different.
Uh...
- Not very different.
- Not very different,
but it's-- Yeah.
You know,
I see dating as, like...
once you're exclusive
with someone, then it's like,
ah, you're pretty much
boyfriend and girlfriend, and...
Iris looks at it is--
- I think you have
to ask someone
to be your girlfriend, you know.
Pepe: Yeah.
Huda: For sure.
Pepe: Yeah.
- [girls chuckling]
- And she's like,
you have to-- You have to date.
And, from dating...
Iris: Yeah.
Pepe: ...you see how it goes.
And then
you ask the question.
- I think there's steps,
you know?
Amaya: Yeah.
- Well, do you wanna be
his girlfriend?
[laughter]
Iris: Yeah, I mean, I--
Yeah, I-I-I feel
like we're-we're going
in a good direction. Yeah.
- Yeah.
I think that's the whole point
is trying to date as if...
we would have normally dated
before getting on the show,
which obviously
is very different now
because we're well known.
So everybody
is kind of expecting
and is looking
at our relationship
with, like, a magnifying glass.
- So, Iris, right after you left
the villa...
- Yeah.
Andy: ...you were filmed
by TMZ,
- Mm-hmm.
- ...meeting up with TJ.
Iris: Yeah.
Andy: And fans immediately
were speculating
that the two of you
were getting back together.
- Yeah.
Andy: But then I know
you also said
in an interview
that you actually wanted
to have
a face-to-face conversation
with him, uh, for closure.
- Yeah.
Andy: Tell me about the tenor
of that conversation.
- It-It was something
that I was very emotional about
when he went home,
and I-I think
I just wanted to, like...
tell him that what I felt
was-- It wasn't fake,
it wasn't for show,
it wasn't for TV. This was--
These are
my genuine feelings towards you.
And I told him I do have
a strong connection with Pepe,
and Pepe is where
my heart's at, you know?
- You felt like
you got closure from it.
- Yeah, definitely.
Like, I'm happy for them.
And, you know,
it was something we both needed
to do for both of us to move on.
So... it is what it is. And...
the time in the villa
was great, but, you know,
things move forward.
- Pepe, on that note,
have you talked to Hannah
since leaving the villa?
Pepe: I have, yeah,
we got to just get
a little phone call in, and--
And, yeah, I was just having
a good conversation,
just catching up,
making sure that...
we were good, seeing how she
was feeling with everything.
At the end of the day,
we all went through
this crazy experience together.
It was great. It was a fun time.
There was highs and lows,
but as long as we can
all come out of it as friends
and just say like, hey,
everything's good, we should
all be happy for each other,
like... there shouldn't be
a reason why somebody
should be mad at one person
over another, you know?
Ariana: And Hannah, of course,
will be out later as well
to talk about her experience.
Andy: Hi. Um...
- [laughter]
Andy:
Cool that you're all getting
to live these fantasies.
Well, final four couple
Huda and Chris
had one whirlwind ride,
but after
their fiery final date,
the relationship
went up in flames.
And I got to talk
to the two of you
about that final date,
because what an awkward moment
it was
when that woman came out
and sang "Moon River,"
as the two of you
were kind of...
breaking up, basically.
What was going through your mind
when she came out?
- I thought it was my sister.
I'm not going to lie,
when I-- When I saw it,
because I can't see that far.
Like, I was like,
is that my sister?
And then I seen who walked out
and I was like--
[whispers] it's not my sister.
[laughs] It's not her.
But, I mean, she did her thing.
She did great.
- Well, it's obviously
still semi-awkward
between the two of you.
You're seated apart
from each other.
How is it seeing each other?
- Fine. I mean--
- Weird.
- I'm fine.
- Very weird on my end.
Andy: Very weird.
- Yeah, just weird.
- Chris, I'm so curious.
how does your mom feel
about Huda now?
- I'll just say she's happy
with how things played out.
- Huda, I also heard
you say in the press
that Chris had kind
of a running commentary
going on the other women,
and that he had a wandering eye
when you were together.
What do you mean by that?
- Honestly,
I'm not angry about it.
It's just, like, we just
weren't a good match.
It's okay.
- [laughter]
- [Huda speaks indistinctly]
It's okay.
- Y'all are making me laugh.
- Look at him, bro.
Look at his face. [laughs]
- Chris, how do you feel
about what Huda has said
in the press about you
since leaving the villa?
- I don't respect it at all.
- You guys broke up
in the finale, but should I ask,
where do you stand now?
Are you guys friends at all?
Do you think you
would be friends?
- No. No.
- No.
Ariana: And why is that, Chris?
- I just didn't respect
the way she handled herself
on that interview
and the things she said.
And, you know,
even since then, she's--
She's had a month
to, like, apologize
and, like,
talk to me about it.
But she waited
kind of until,
like, two or three days
before today
to try to reach out.
And I just kind of took that
as like a...
I know why
you're doing it. So...
I just can't, like I said,
I can't respect it. So...
- What happened on that call?
- She said,
"Well, I hope we can be good."
And I said,
I don't feel the same way.
Um, you know, I just don't--
I don't want that in my life.
And I don't allow people
that talk about me
like that in my life.
So, yeah, just keep it rolling.
- You know, I-I called him
and I expressed
because it was-- It was weighing
heavy on my mind,
and I had started
seeing more and more
of the, like,
hatred towards Chris
on my For You page,
and I was like,
I need to address this to him.
I just called him. I was like,
listen, I just want
to let you know you,
you don't have
to like me at all.
But I just wanted
to let you know,
like, I'm truly grateful
that you were there
for me in the villa.
And I just wanted to express
that to you and let you know
that I-I'm grateful.
Um...
And if there's anything
that, like, you know, I've--
I've done, like, I just-- I want
to personally apologize...
because I just--
I just didn't agree
with the hate
that he was getting.
I just--
I-I felt awful about it.
- And, Chris, do you think that
at any point in the future
that you guys could reconcile,
that you could forgive her
and you guys
could become friends?
Friends? No,
but I'm very forgiving,
so I'll-I'll forgive for sure.
But friends, no.
Ariana: Huda,
you left the villa single,
but we've seen you
out and about.
What's your dating situation
been like?
- Um, I can't speak
about my relationships
outside the villa.
- Okay. And why is that?
Huda: Legal reasons.
- Legal reasons?
Huda: I'm not allowed to speak.
It's Netflix. I'm not allowed
to talk about it.
- Netflix won't let you say
- Netflix said--
- whether you're dating somebody?
- I'm not supposed to talk--
Not supposed to talk
about it, unfortunately.
I'm sorry.
- You were, like, on a red
carpet, I think with someone.
Was that someone
that you're seeing?
I'm not allowed to speak on it.
I'm so sorry.
Andy: Okay, tell Netflix
this was the number one
streaming show of the summer.
- I apologize, I really am sorry.
- Okay. Alright.
- I didn't know she was dating.
- I'm a doomscroller,
I see everything.
Zac: What did you see?
Andy: Whoa.
- You know, just,
like, public appearances.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Chelley: Okay, I know,
that's right.
- Well, second place couple
Olandria and Nic
kept us
on our toes all season.
- Toes, emphasis on the toes.
- Messy.
- Did you lick your lips?
Ariana: And from day one...
Olandria, Nic...
I know everyone's dying
to know, myself included,
what is your relationship status
at the moment?
- There's been
like a lot of pressure
and, like, up to this moment,
I know people are expecting us
to be, like, labeled by now.
And I also see comments.
It's like, she better come,
like pregnant
and married to the reunion.
- [Ariana laughs] Jeez!
- And we're like, damn.
- It's insane. It's insane.
- Wow!
Nic: Hold up, wait a minute.
But, uh, we've--
I mean, we've always
been believers, in like...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...uh, taking our time
with things and like,
not trying to pressure, like,
like let outside pressure
dictate our relationship.
And, um, I mean, we're going
on trips together, like...
[clicks tongue] Going on--
We have future dates planned.
- Yeah.
- Knocking some things
off of the list.
- Knocking a lot
of things off the list.
- Yeah.
- The list. What's on the list?
Nic: Skydiving and like--
- Yeah, like crazy things
that I've always wanted to do.
He wants to take me
to experience those things.
Nic: Yeah. Like--
Ariana: Wow.
Olandria: Yeah.
- You know, whatever she wants,
like, I want
to make sure it happens.
Like we're completing all. Yeah.
Ariana: Aw, that is so cute.
[laughter]
- Well, what do you have
to say to haters
who say that this is fake?
Huda: That's crazy--
- Honestly, I-I call them
my second fan base because,
like, they're obsessed.
Nicolandria is already
a huge fan base,
but oh, my goodness,
the other fan bases as well.
It's like, oh, you love me.
- Let your haters
be your motivator.
- Exactly. They always--
- They hate us
'cause they ain't us.
- Yeah. That's it.
- They're just confused fans.
- Exactly.
Do y'all think they're real?
Okay, focus on your couple.
Come on, like...
Ariana: Yeah. Yeah. Agreed.
Um, well, Cierra
won't be joining us tonight,
as she did leave the show.
But we do want to acknowledge
that she was a big part
of your journey in the villa.
- Mm-hmm.
- In fact, on Instagram,
we got a question from Charlotte
who wanted
to ask Nic and Olandria,
have either of you
seen or talked
to Cierra
since leaving the villa?
- Uh, Charlotte,
I have not, our--
And I don't plan on--
Planning on it either.
Leaving the villa,
I wanted to, like, speak to her.
Like, after I processed
all those things
coming out the first week.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then she started making
these-these videos,
the first thing was,
like, she was in Greece
and, so like, there was
this caption, and it was like,
"When you thought it was real,
but now your friend is,
like, dating him," or something.
And then every time she
would do something like that,
I'm like, okay,
I feel like she was low key,
like prioritizing some attention
through those videos,
rather than like...
wanting to fix anything
if there was anything to fix.
- Well, meeting you
and seeing you now,
it's clear
that things worked out
exactly as they were meant to.
So I got to know, Olandria,
was it worth the wait?
- With Nic?
- Yeah.
- Like the whole coupling up
at the end.
- And-- The journey. The journey?
- Oh, the journey. Journey.
[mumbles, giggles]
- Whoa! Oh--
[laughter]
- They call me
Big Belgian for a reason.
Amaya: Oh!
- Wow.
Amaya: Oh.
- Yo. Talking sh*t. Nic.
- Yes.
- Yes, it was worth the wait.
- It was worth the wait.
Andy: Nice.
- It was worth the wait.
Amaya: Oh. Thank God.
- Okay, we're going
to take a break,
and we'll be right back
with the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion
in just a moment.
[applause]
[***]
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
- No, she does. I know.
[laughter]
[Huda cackles]
- My-My Botox isn't allowing me
to do it.
- [chuckles] Your Botox.
- Y-You're like--
- Wait, you got Botox?
- Hell, yeah.
- I'm dead.
[applause]
- Welcome back
to the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
- Now we want to bring out
some more Islanders.
Please welcome
our Southern belle, Clarke,
our resident cowboy, Taylor--
- [in garbled voice] Hi guys.
- And our slow burn stunners,
Chelley and Ace.
- [applause continues]
woman: Chelley.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
- Iris. How you doing?
Huda: Hi!
[giggling]
- Let's get this sh*t
on the road.
Ariana: Taylor,
you're looking very dapper.
How are you feeling
seeing everyone?
- Well, I ain't seen some of
these people since I left,
so it just feels good
to see everybody.
- Clarke looks amazing.
- She looks so good.
Andy: Clarke,
you look so beautiful.
What inspired
your outfit tonight?
- I just wanted
to give Queen energy, you know?
Andy: Nice.
Clarke: Yeah.
- I think you succeeded.
- Thank you. [laughs]
- Chelley and Ace,
it's so great
to meet both of you.
I want to bring up
what some fans have been calling
"The curse of going exclusive."
- Yeah.
Andy: Uh, because
right when
you two couples got serious,
America swooped in
and voted you off the damn show.
- Yeah.
Andy: What did you make of that?
- I think they missed the plot
of what Love Island
was supposed to be about.
- Very much so.
- It was more so-- I mean,
it's called Love Island,
you know?
Ace: I feel like
this season it was more based
on favorites of individually.
- The system you designed.
[chortles]
Clarke: I mean, of course,
I don't think
anybody deserves to go home.
Nobody wanted to go home.
But at least we were able
to, like, make things exclusive
and be locked in
with each other before we left.
And then we left together.
- Yeah, Clarke,
we saw you made it to Oklahoma.
- A couple times.
Ariana: What is it like being
in Taylor's world out there?
- Um... it's different,
but it's not.
It wasn't hard for me
to, like, adapt and fit in,
like with this family.
Um... yeah.
I rode a horse by myself.
No saddle.
- Yeah.
Clarke: I'm that girl.
- [laughter]
- People did not see that coming.
Andy: Well, uh,
it was a huge moment
when Olandria and Nic
made their surprise return.
Ace: Yeah.
Andy: Uh, to the villa,
as a couple. Taylor--
A lot of fans wanted to know,
were you really torn
at that point
between Olandria and Clarke?
- I really was, yeah.
Andy: You really were.
- Mm-hmm.
Olandria, do you believe
that he was as torn up
as he says?
- Um...
at the time, yes.
But obviously, like,
getting out and seeing this,
like, makes you question.
Andy: Did something happen
when you got out of the villa
to make you think
that he wasn't?
- Um, I just heard
certain conversations.
The whole not being
physically attracted to me
was in the first few days.
It's like I would never want
somebody to learn to grow,
to like me or grow to be
physically attracted to me.
That-That gives desperation.
It was never--
I was never desperate.
So to see
that I'm just looking
like this girl
is chasing after this guy
that does not find me desirable.
It's like, that is never
the f*cking case,
you get what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
- And I'm thinking in the villa
like, oh, he respects my wishes
of me being a slow burner.
That's why
it hasn't gotten there yet.
And getting out
of the villa is like, okay,
it didn't happen
because he wasn't--
It wasn't there at all.
Ariana: Yeah.
Olandria: So yeah,
that was shocking to me.
- You were blasted for your vote
when really, the reality
is we knew he was
never really into her.
- Yeah.
- It was a valid vote, mate.
Andy: Was that something
you considered
discussing with her?
- Yes. But I mean,
at the same time,
well, I did give it a try.
Work on it and let it grow.
- Nic, is it weird
hanging out with Taylor
now that you're dating his ex?
- [laughs]
- Okay, ex? All right.
- Ex is crazy, right?
Nic: No, I mean--
[clears throat]
Tay-- Taylor and I have been
best friends since day one.
I went and visited his family
this past weekend
and, uh, went to a rodeo.
Things are completely, like,
as if I were
not dating his ex.
[Clarke chuckles]
- Taylor, do you feel
like maybe you owe--
Olandria an apology
for not being honest
with her about your feelings?
- Yeah, well, you know,
I was waiting
for the right time. Um...
You know,
this is the right time
in front of everybody.
You know,
the way it started, you know?
So, I do want to say, you know,
I'm sorry for everything.
Um...
you know, we grew so close,
you know, so fast.
He was my dawg in there.
He laughed about everything.
And... you still my dawg.
- Do we clap?
- [laughing]
Ariana: Yes.
[applause]
- All right, I want to move on,
uh, to Chelley and Ace.
- Okay, so let's clear this up.
Andy: Yeah.
- Once and for all.
For all these
conspiracy theorists out there.
Tell us again,
the two of you met when
and how much
were you talking after that?
- [indistinct chattering]
- Oh, sh*t.
- They're digging deep.
They're not playing.
- They want it.
- They want the truth.
- Yeah. That's it.
- [sighs] In New York, I met her.
I thought she was attractive.
I pulled up on her
and said, "Yo, what's--
What's the word?
Where are you from?"
All that?
Got to know her.
As in, you know,
through social media exchanges.
For what?
Um, maybe. What?
- I don't know.
Here and there.
I mean, the comments
are all over the place,
so like, here and there.
But that's where it stopped.
Was on social media.
- Yeah.
- Ace.
Ace: Yeah.
- Some, uh...
eagle eyed
Love Island fans noticed
that you had consistently
liked and commented...
- Yeah.
- ...on Chelley's Instagram post
dating back to July of 2022,
Ace: Yeah.
- ...which would suggest,
- Yeah.
- ...that it was
a more substantial connection
than just a casual interaction
outside a club.
Ace: Yeah.
- How do you respond?
- So I comment and show love
to everybody
who I'm going through.
It just so happened
we're on the show, so of course
there's an eagle eye
on this situation.
But yeah, I'm quick to drop
a fire emoji or an eyes emoji,
a heart emoji, you know,
something like that--
I'm not ashamed of it.
- How can you not?
Chelley: I do want
to say though,
the date had
to be wrong, though,
because we literally
met last year.
- Yeah.
- So 2022.
Like, I didn't know any Ace.
I don't think he knew.
- Yeah.
- Maybe he went back.
And liked some old post.
Chelley: Oh, like some old po--
That makes sense.
Andy: Is that possible?
- That makes sense.
- That could be possible.
- I'm like, July 2022,
that doesn't make sense.
Now, fans have also speculated
this is a big one,
that the two of you coordinated
your participation in the show
in order to form
a powerful pairing from day one.
- [laughs]
- Yes, um, we--
- You would have
to be great actors.
Chelley: No, yeah.
We told production actually
that like, hey,
um, we want to be on there.
We have this great idea
for you guys to sell the show.
- Went through ten interviews.
We have perfectly lined up
our answers, to--
To finally get on the show.
- Yeah, good. [giggles]
- Forget the 500,000 people
that applied for the show.
Like, bring us on there.
Ace: Yeah.
- I'd be like, give them
because that's--
That would be impressive.
- That's what I'm sayin'.
[laughs]
- What did the rest of you think
about these rumors
when they were popping
up online?
- Fake news.
Taylor: Fake news.
Andy: Right.
So why do you think
America ranked you low
as individuals and as a couple
in the Berkshire
Bubble Challenge?
- I mean, when I was
in the villa,
I was so confused, like, hmm,
what are you guys seeing?
I think the pivotal point
of everything
was the Heart Rate Challenge
and the Staying on Business
Challenge.
From there, that's when
I was called the Mean Girl,
or I was, you know, crashing out
and not making sense
of, um, wanting to live
the best of both worlds
and this and that.
And so I think that's something
that, again, people seen
and just took that
and ran with it.
- I definitely felt
like they got it wrong.
He wasn't a villain
and Chelley was damn sure
wasn't no f*cking mean girl.
So I really don't--
I really hate
the type of hate
that they've both been getting
because they were
awesome people.
I wouldn't surround myself
with some phoney a*s people
and they're the realest
for sure.
Ariana: I think
it says something that all
of your fellow Islanders
placed you.
The people who know you,
placed you
where they placed you.
- And that's what mattered to me.
So...
Olandria: Exactly.
- Uh, when you guys
left the villa...
Chelley: Uh-huh.
- ...you were exclusive.
So where do you guys stand
on your relationship?
[both giggling]
- Um, I mean,
we're still exclusive.
He's big on doing
romantic gestures,
and I love stuff like that.
So just waiting
for the perfect moment
to be official.
- Do you have something planned?
- I got something
cooking up my sleeve.
Ariana: Oh!
Andy: Wow!
- Yeah.
- This would be
your first girlfriend, right?
- Yeah.
Andy: And is--
Is Chelley the first girl to--
- And last too.
Andy: What?
- And last.
- [girls] Aww.
- I know, that's right.
Andy: Are you
in love with Chelley?
- I am.
- [girls] Aww.
Ace: Yeah.
[giggling]
- I love you.
- [laughing]
Ariana: Okay,
we're gonna take a break.
More to come
with the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
[applause]
[***]
[indistinct chattering]
girl: Hey!
crew member: Hey, y'all.
- Elan, why are you
copying my hairstyle, bruh?
- He got the one curl
in the front.
- How are you?
- I'm so good. How are you?
[***]
- Oh, my gosh, it's crazy.
- [sighing]
- [Bell-A gasps]
- I love a couch.
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh, so many people.
[applause]
- Welcome back
to the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
I'm Ariana Madix
here with Andy Cohen.
Right now, we're going
to fast forward
to a part of the season
that changed everything.
Casa Amor.
First, I want to say hi
to OG Austin
and bombshells Andreina and TJ
- We're so happy to be here.
Thank you, Ariana.
[all chuckling]
- Austin I don't know
how I've been able
to get up and down stairs
without you this whole time.
- I don't know
how you have either.
I thought you were just sitting
at the bottom of some stairs.
Just waiting.
Just wanting to say hi.
- [laughter]
- Austin, you were
in the villa from day one.
The real bombshell for me
was your body count.
I have to assume
that it's gone way up
since you got out of the villa.
Austin: It's gone down.
Andy: What?
- It's gone down since being
out of the villa.
Yeah, I've--
- Really?
Austin: I've subtracted
a few off of it.
Yes, yes.
- How do you subtract people
from your body count?
- I just forget about them.
Andy: Okay.
- I just forget about them.
- All right.
Are you currently single?
- Yes, I am.
I am currently single.
- All right, well, we're going
to get into you and Jaden later.
- Hi, Andreina. Hi, TJ.
You guys came
in as bombshells together.
How are you guys
feeling being back?
- I think it feels great.
And I'm happy to be back
and seeing everybody.
It feels like family.
- What about you, TJ?
TJ: Yeah.
I'm super excited just
to see everybody
all together once again.
Um, it just feels like home
and just super happy
to see everybody.
Ariana: And now let's
welcome everyone else
that was part of Casa Amor.
Jaden, Gracyn, Vanna,
Coco, Elan, JD and Zac C.
And Zak K
is joining us remotely.
- Yo, can y'all see me, yeah?
- [all] Yeah.
- Yo, yo, clap it up,
clap it up, clap it up.
[laughter]
[applauding]
- Elan, you're a man
of-of many hairstyles.
Uh, I didn't see
this one coming.
What was your inspo tonight?
- Tonight I think I-I rocked
a look kind of like this.
Usually the curl
is a lot less intentional.
Andy: Okay.
- But, uh... yeah.
- All right.
Ariana: Coco, you said
in an interview recently
you felt that some of the girls
gave standoffish vibes.
What did you mean by that?
- Well, the Casa girls,
it was good.
But I think,
like, in the beginning.
Olandria was
a little standoffish,
especially when Olandria
kind of made her return.
I could tell she was,
like, upset that her--
Her girls were not there, like,
she was not feeling that sh*t.
And which is understandable.
- Olandria,
what's your reaction to this?
- I was standoffish.
I'm not going to come
in being fake and trying
to purposely be besties
with these girls
that I don't know.
I'm going to be nice.
I'm going to be cordial,
but it's like,
I don't know you guys.
And then--
I just got fake dumped
coming back and seeing Taylor
with somebody else.
I had so many f*cking emotions
going on, I had no time
to process nothing.
So that's why I was standoffish.
- So y'all were together
last night, I hear.
And JD asked if you wanted
to speak to Coco
and you said--
- I'm cool.
Andy: I'm cool.
- Yes.
Andy: What was that about?
- Um...
so I like Coco
when I was in the villa.
It's just how people
are acting outside of the villa.
I'm just not f*cking with.
She was on a podcast
and was saying
that I was saying,
"Taylor was my man,
my man, my man."
I barely even spoke
to these damn girls.
She even telling you like, oh,
I was coming to Atlanta
cause she was so standoffish.
So when the hell did I say
"My man, my man, my man"
around any of you guys.
Clarke, do you remember me
saying that?
Clarke: Never.
Olandria: Jaden. Gracyn. Vanna?
- When I said,
"My man, my man,
that was not me being shady.
That was not me trying
to come for you.
So I never wanted
to make you feel that way.
When I said that,
that was me saying,
like, I thought y'all
was locked in. Like, for real.
So when I saw
that he picked Clarke over you,
I was shook.
I thought y'all were
that locked in.
You were saying, my man
like you were calling him
your man.
Like you had took a picture.
You kissed it,
and it was cute as f*ck.
I'm not coming for you.
And even in that podcast
when she said
that delusional statement,
I was not f*cking with that.
I would never, ever
try to do you.
Like, I mean that,
that was not me being shady.
I'm too hundred for that.
Olandria: Right.
But my thing is, if you're going
to go on a podcast,
speak to your true experience.
I would have appreciated
if you would have spoke
on my character
that you got to see in person.
Not what America got to see.
You got out way before us.
You could have cleared that up.
You know what?
Yulissa wasn't as delusional
as y'all might say she was.
She was actually cool as f*ck.
You could have spoke
to my true character
because you got
to meet me in person.
These people never saw--
Met me before.
- On the podcast,
I said you were cool as f*ck.
And I even said,
I think you and Nic--
I think Nic really likes you.
Chelley: It seemed
like you were saying,
like, she was feeding
into their narrative
of her being delusional.
And then, I mean--
Coco: I hate that
it was interpreted that way.
So I want to say again,
I apologize if you interpreted
that way,
and I hate that the world
even interpret it that way.
- It doesn't help, though,
that there was like--
Like screenshots
of you hoarding certain comments
about Olandria and I too.
So it's like, you know,
you're saying this,
but then also when you were--
When they were sayin stuff
like, "Oh Chelley
and Olandria need
to leave our villa,"
or this or that,
or, "Coco should have
still been there,"
or stuff like that.
- Yeah.
Chelley: To see
that you were liking stuff,
that was--
Because there was
a big hate train
on Olandria and I,
which a lot of people
played a narrative
into by saying,
just certain comments, that--
Coco: But let's talk about--
Andy: Who played into it?
- ...some agreement.
Chelley: There's a few people
who played
into the hate train, like--
Andy: People in here?
Olandria: Still getting
a lot of hate.
Chelley: Yeah, people in here.
that played into it.
- Who?
- Coco with your comments--
- Baby, do you--
I never felt that way.
That's not even real.
- Alright.
- No, I want to talk.
- Okay.
- I'm team chocolate girls.
I'm never shady.
I was nothing but nice to y'all
from the beginning.
I was happy for you.
Also, I DM'd you, Olandria.
- Yeah, I read it.
I wasn't f*cking with it.
Coco: Yeah, that's the thing,
though, baby.
I'm trying to squash it because
I'm trying to let you know--
Olandria: Coco, you go on live
in front of--
Well, you go in front
of the world
and talk your piece,
I'm going to do the same thing.
Don't clear things
up in private.
We're going to do this
in public like you did.
- But I was never trying
to shade you...
because I'm not
that kind of girl.
Andy: Who else was perpetrating
the narrative
that you two are mean girls.
- Vanna, when you went
on Nick Viall and said
that I was someone
who was standoffish
and that the only person
who was nice to you.
- He brought up, like, "Were
any of the girls standoffish?"
And I was like, well,
I didn't even-- I said,
I didn't even talk to you.
- And it's like, we didn't even
get to speak.
Like we didn't even
have time to.
Vanna: People asked me
about that on my live,
and I was like, she, okay,
like, I didn't go
speak to her either.
She owes me,
like, literally nothing.
And we had five seconds
to say bye.
But I cleared
that up on my live.
They don't show
the-the good stuff, you know,
they show
like, the pot stirring stuff.
But I did go on,
and I was like, that was not...
what it looked like.
Olandria: Um... I feel like--
Chelley: Huda is another person,
who on her interview...
- She played
into the bully narrative.
I don't feel
like Huda was bullied.
We were very close.
I was kind of taken back
when Huda went on the podcast,
she kind of played
into the bullying narrative
that America
already had stirred up
and I was
like, Huda, you was there.
Andy: Uh, we're going
to get into that
in a little bit, and I'm anxious
to hear what you have to say.
- Everybody didn't mean
what they did.
Chelley: I get it,
I get it for sure.
- I felt
like the whole f*cking villa
was against me and Chelley.
- That's how it felt.
Andy: Um, Zak K.
A lot of people want
to know if you have anything
to say to Amaya
about the ups and downs
you two experienced.
A lot of viewers felt
like you doubled down
on Amaya only after seeing
how popular
she had become with the viewers.
What's your response to that?
- Uh, first of all, I just want
to apologize, Amaya,
during that challenge,
uh, like I said,
I shouldn't have lied.
Stood up on business
and, you know, did what I did.
So I want to apologize
after that.
But when I found out
that she
was America's most popular,
that didn't make a difference
to what the situation was.
Ariana: Amaya, do you think
he changed his tune
because he found out
that you were popular
with America?
- Um, thank you for apologizing.
Thank you.
-You're good.
- Uh...
I do think
that there was a big shift
of energy after finding out
that I was America's favorite.
I guess, um, he did, like, try
to put in more of an effort
to have a conversation with me.
- So obviously, that being said,
I said, after that--
Um, that challenge thing,
me and you,
we sat on that swing,
if you can recall,
and we were just talking,
we was doing whatever,
whatever.
I felt like there was
a genuine connection
between us two.
We've had our ups and downs
like a normal relationship do.
People argue, people fall out
or whatever?
I'm here now.
I'm going to try
and make it work with her.
And then that's what I did.
- Zak, I-I'm curious
what you think of Amaya
and Bryan ending up together.
You've said
some pretty incendiary things
on your TikTok Live
about him, specifically.
- W-What was said.
Sorry, could you recall for me?
- He said,
I did it for the money.
Andy: Oh, he said
you did it for the money.
- Yeah--
- Nah. Never said that.
- You never said that?
- No no no, no,
I never said that, bro.
- Yeah, you should probably go--
- Sorry, I can't hear--
- You should probably
go check up on that.
He said it wasn't genuine
and he feels I did it
for the money, but I think
he forgot a certain conversation
that me and the Casa boys had.
He was the one trying
to dissect the game
and strategize it.
And I'm the one who said,
just be appreciative, be here
and go off your feelings.
I remember
we were dying for chats.
He came out and said,
"I don't even want no chats."
I want to chill with the boys.
If he was really genuine
with Amaya,
he would have
been crying for a chat.
Instead, he didn't
and got dumped for that.
- Yeah, you will only have
conversations with people
when it was time to have a chat.
It could be very performative
at times because once
you knew the cameras were on,
that's when it was time
to have this whole Grammy Award
winning actor scene for you.
Like, let's be very for real.
- Okay.
Amaya: Final--
Final words on the matter.
- Nah, we can move on.
They both look good together.
I hope you know they stay
together and nothing more.
Andy: All right.
Ariana: Okay, great.
Thanks, guys.
Austin. Jaden.
You guys got together
during Casa, and I know
you guys left the villa
as a couple,
but where do things stand now?
- Austin can take that one.
- [chortles]
- [gasping] Wow.
- I mean, we-we left the villa
as a couple.
We were, uh...
Jaden: Error message.
[laughter]
- Yeah.
- Come on, bro.
- Damn, boy.
- I'm finding it.
- You got it.
- Um...
Yeah, like, I don't know.
Like, I don't know
exactly what transpired.
Andy: Did you have a fight?
- No no, no.
- Did you just,
Austin: No. Everything's fine--
- ...lose interest
in each other.
- Jaden.
- You go, Jaden.
- Jaden, I feel like--
- Uh...
Austin:
Why's this coming on me?
- I mean, I feel like I expect,
like respect and transparency.
Like, with all
of my relationships.
And I was happy
to leave with you as a couple.
And I do feel,
like I was blindsided, in a way,
because I did send you
a message saying, like,
if you were planning on dating
or hooking up with other people,
if you could just let me know.
But I didn't care if you did.
- Yeah.
- I was like,
you could do whatever you want.
Just like, give me the respect
of letting me know that.
And then you didn't.
And I feel like
we put our lives out here.
- Well, I don't think I--
I don't think I replied.
So I don't think
it's like I didn't like--
Andy: Well, did you read it?
Jaden: That's even worse.
Andy: Did you--
Did you read what she said?
- I honestly, I can't
think of it at all.
Jaden: You know, we spoke
about it in person as well.
- Yeah, I did.
- We did.
We did talk about it in person.
Yeah.
Andy: Because by the way,
that's a huge thing
that she said.
Basically you can sleep
with other people.
Just let me know
and don't embarrass me.
- Yeah.
Austin: Yeah.
- But you didn't do that.
- I mean,
that's like, kind of true.
- He'll bounce back.
He'll bounce back.
He'll-He'll bounce back.
That's right, he'll bounce back.
- You got it, bro.
- So the first time
we saw each other
after leaving the island,
I went to a house party.
And when I showed up,
I was basically, like, bombarded
by girls...
letting me know
that you had just came back
from a date.
- See--
- And I was like, don't--
Please let me finish.
Austin: Go ahead.
- And I was like, okay, cool.
I was like, I wish
you would have told me first
and not the whole house,
because that was like,
that is an example
of you making me look dumb.
And then you literally looked
at me and you he lied to me.
And you were like,
I did not just go on a date.
Austin: Oh, I did not say that.
- Yes, you did.
- Um, I want to add something
because I was there too.
So I saw
how you were moving, Austin.
And I saw the text messages.
And you did actually respond
when she asked you,
"What's happening?
Just be transparent."
I was there
when she sent the message
and you responded,
I actually like you.
I want to see things through
with you, dot dot dot dot
and saying that you
were going to respect her.
And I don't think you did.
- I didn't say that I was going
to see things through.
I mean, like,
we're dating in the villa
and dating in the villa
is dating multiple people.
So, like dating on the outside,
I can still want
to get to know you
and go on a date
with someone else.
Ariana: I think
she's just asking
that you would be honest
with her,
Austin: Yeah, but I wasn't--
- ...before doing so.
- I wasn't, like,
not honest with you.
- Jaden. Do you think
he was being honest with you?
Jaden: No.
Austin: I'm sorry
I wasn't transparent
with you when I came out
telling you, hey, I want
to go on a date
with this person
and that person.
I should have been more upfront.
- I mean, three days before that
on Aftersun, you're like, yeah,
I'm gonna take her
on a yacht. Like...
- Well, I still did want
to take you on a date.
- Okay, well, that ship
has sailed on the yacht.
That you never took me on.
- No...
[Jaden giggling]
[laughter]
[***]
[***]
crew: Okay, stand by
with applause.
Three. Two. One. Go!
[applauding]
- We are back
with the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
Ariana: Pepe.
Pepe: Yes.
- During the Stand on Business
Challenge, no one admitted
to writing the question
asking you
about not truly liking Gracyn.
How did you react
to watching this
when you saw the show?
[applauding]
[suspenseful music playing]
Pepe: All right.
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?
- No, literally. Who wrote that?
Who wrote that?
- I don't know
who the f*ck wrote that,
but like, that was more--
Cierra: Yeah, that was hard.
Hannah: And I don't agree
with that whatsoever.
- That was not a nice comment.
And to whoever
f*cking made that comment
is literally such a p*ssy
for not f*cking saying sh*t.
[both whispering]
- Seeing that and knowing
how hurt Gracyn was by it,
that kind of--
That-That sucked, you know,
especially because
it seemed more of a dig
on her than a dig on me.
Andy: Gracyn,
how did you feel learning
that Huda wrote the postcard?
- I was obviously very upset.
Finding out that Huda wrote it,
I was upset
that you didn't stand
on business if you thought this
and other people thought this.
I wish, like somebody
could have confided in me
and, like, been like, girl,
he's not being
completely honest with you.
Or maybe he's leading you on.
And I felt,
like, instead of doing that,
everybody was kind
of reassuring me
that our connection
looked really strong
when I was having reservations.
Um, so everybody took
that as an opportunity
to kind of bring it up,
instead of saying it to my face.
Andy: Huda, any regrets?
- I'm so apologetic of the way
that came off.
I did not mean
for that to hurt that bad
towards Gracyn at all.
Like, I really, really didn't.
And Gracyn's f*cking amazing.
- [Gracyn chuckling]
- She's such a mature woman.
Like she was there for me.
She gave me advice, like,
she was the most kind person.
- Thank you.
- And I'm
very apologetic for that card.
Honestly, I felt terrible.
- There's no problem.
- I know. I love you.
- Yeah. [chuckles]
- So sorry.
- There is no problem.
It's-- I-I understand it was
a tough position to be in.
Like, I don't think
that you meant it the way
that you wrote it.
- Yeah.
- So, Gracyn, do you wish
Pepe had been
more honest with you
so you could have made
other connections in the villa?
- Yeah. Of course.
I think, you know,
we were in there
for, like, almost two weeks,
and I felt, like, we had spent
so much time together.
I felt like we were affectionate
with each other.
I felt like we were moving
in a way
that if he didn't feel a spark,
like, he
would have realized that sooner.
And instead,
he waited like,
as long as possible
to tell me that. Um...
and then the-the thing
that kind of catapulted it
was the Stand
on Business Challenge.
- I feel like I was pretty honest
with you the day
that I told you,
I don't feel that spark.
I was like, I just don't want
to drag you along and--
And not let you
enjoy the experience. And--
- But I feel like you, in a way,
almost did prohibit me
from having, like,
an experience in there.
Like, you knew I really wanted
to make a connection there.
You knew that,
like, I wanted to find somebody.
Obviously, at the time I thought
that could be you,
and you were telling
other people,
I want to put 100% into Gracyn.
- Yeah.
Gracyn: So I wanted
to put 100% into you.
So I felt like all
of our free time, I was trying
to spend it with you.
- Right.
Gracyn: So--
- I did too. I-It's like I said--
- So that does prohibit me, though.
Like, do you see
what I'm saying?
And I just kind of want you
to know that,
like you did hurt me.
Like, I do feel,
like, played in that situation.
Pepe: And you're right.
Should I have said it
two days before?
Yeah. Maybe I should have.
I am sorry, though.
I was never trying
to blindside you or lead you on.
- I mean, I'm not one
to burn bridges. Like...
I don't want there
to be any bad blood.
And that's why I feel
like I didn't stand
up for myself in the moment.
I'm just glad. I guess we can...
squash it and clear the air.
- I'm glad you did tonight.
And I want to move on.
Ace, what was it
like watching Chelley be
with Chris at Casa Amor?
- Oh, Lord.
That's a loaded question,
ain't it?
Nah, it was definitely a trials
and tribulations, you know,
especially coming back.
And, you know, her and Chris
had a connection and trying
to get to know each other.
But honestly, it was a testament
to what we had going on.
And, you know, I think,
it was honestly,
it's weird to say it,
but it was good
for us, you know,
because in the real world,
you know, people are going
to face temptation every day.
Andy: So, Chelley,
what was it like watching Ace
and Coco at the villa?
- Um... like seeing it,
I was just like, oh, my gosh,
I don't want to see this.
But at the end of the day,
like, I also was exploring.
So to me it was just a thing
of like, okay,
if there's a connection
that you feel
like you want to get
to know someone, then,
you absolutely should do that.
Ultimately, you know,
it-it wasn't stronger
than the connection that we had.
- Coco, how do you feel
about your relationship with Ace
in the villa?
Coco: He was such a sweetheart.
I do wish he
would have been more...
um...
upfront. And his thoughts--
Like, if he was sure
that he, like, he knew he wanted
to be with Chelley
when she got back.
Like, I feel like I wish
he would have told me that,
but like, I think if he
would have told me that,
I would have had more time
to kind of explore
other connections.
- I'm sorry if you felt
I led you on
because
that wasn't my intentions.
I just wanted to get
to know you, for you.
- You would just do
really sweet gestures,
and like, we would talk about,
like, little day dates
or, like,
just cute little stuff.
And I feel like if you knew
in your head for real,
just be a little more blunt
with me.
I'm-- I do better
with, like, being blunt,
but like, it was cool.
It was a great experience
regardless, so...
- Yeah.
Andy: All right.
Well, I want to switch gears.
Huda, you said in the press
that you knew Chelley
was interested in Chris,
but you brought him back
for the both of you.
Now, this became
a real thing between you two.
And I think it confused
a lot of viewers.
So can you elaborate on that?
- I knew that I didn't find
a connection in Casa more.
Um... I had expressed
that I was interested in Chris.
Me and Chris talked.
I talked to Chelley,
brought him back.
And that way,
we could both explore him
and explore
that connection. And...
ultimately, I brought him back
for both of us.
- Chelley,
was that your understanding
of your agreement with Huda?
- That would be,
like, the easy summary of it,
if we're being honest.
Um, when Huda did propose
a conversation, to me,
it wasn't a, "Oh, my gosh, yay!
I'm so excited.
This is what you're doing."
The conversation was,
"Oh, you know,
I don't have anybody here,
and I know
you really like Chris,
but, you know,
I'm pretty sure
you're going to choose Ace."
So I was thinking, how about I
bring Chris back for you
so that
you can explore him more?
Because I know
how he feels about you
and how you feel about him.
So you guys will get more time.
And oh, yeah, I will explore
him too, because why not?
But I know
how he feels about you.
So I'm going to do this for you,
for you, for you constantly.
When we had multiple
conversations,
it was always
the narrative of,
"But I'm doing this for you."
- Viewers only saw
a short exchange
between Huda and Chelley
about this on the show,
but we actually have
some unseen footage
of that conversation
to show you now.
- I gotta tell you something.
- Okay? We have to tell him.
Come soon.
- Oh, you're making me nervous.
- No, no, don't be nervous, okay?
- Okay.
- Because I think it's
like, either,
like, you're gonna be happy
about it, or you're gonna be
like, b*tch, what the f*ck?
- Okay.
- Okay. [clears throat]
So remember I told you before,
like, I was,
like, interested
in talking to Chris,
- Yeah.
- So I pulled him for one chat.
- Yeah.
- He expressed that how
when he first came
in here,
he was interested
in talking to me,
but you were
his main focus, right?
- Yeah.
- So...
he has semi interest
in me too, right?
And obviously,
if he's interested
in talking to me,
I'm just going
to talk to him, too.
That's the whole point
of Casa Amor.
- Yeah.
- Now...
I haven't found anybody in here.
And obviously I still want
to talk to Chris
and get to know him
because he's telling me
he has interest. Right?
- Uh-huh.
- But on the other side of it,
you wanted more time
with him, right?
- Uh-huh.
- So--
- [both laughing]
Huda: So, I had the great idea
of us choosing each other today.
That way you can have more time
and so can I.
And so can he.
- Okay, okay...
- How do you feel about it?
- I mean, I have--
I have-- I'm not gonna lie.
I have a lot
of mixed emotions about it.
- I know, I know,
and you know--
- But it does sound
like a great idea.
- I knew your a*s was gonna
be like, Huda, don't do it,
and I'm not gonna listen.
So I want you to--
- Yeah.
No, no, no. It's not
even a "Huda don't do it."
It's just like...
- I'm Interested
in getting to know him, too.
And I feel like if it's--
If it's worth not only him
getting to know me,
but getting to know you as well.
Why not?
- Yeah.
- Do you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
- I don't understand what's going
to happen tonight.
Like, even though like. Yes.
Like, Ace is definitely,
like, my number one.
It doesn't sound
like a bad idea, but I'm just--
Like, okay, like--
All right.
- You're like, Huda, okay,
I'm actually riding
with this one.
- No, it's-- It's a--
Like a-- Huh?
- I know it's kind of crazy--
- Okay...
- Crazy idea right?
- Yeah.
- Chris is expressing
interest in me.
By all means,
I would love
to explore that as well.
- Yeah.
- But then again,
he's also interested in you.
- Yeah.
- So it's like...
well, why not?
- Yeah.
No, I just-- I understand it,
I understand it.
But. Okay.
- I love you. I love you.
- Yeah.
Yes.
- Like, truly.
When I-- When talking
about it, like--
- Hmm. That could work.
- This would be a good idea.
- Okay. Right.
- No, it-it could work.
- You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
- This is all
with good intention.
- Yeah, I-I understand that.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- I'm excited for you.
- I'm crying.
Okay, okay.
We'll see. We'll see.
- I love you.
- I'm crying.
I love you, too. Come on.
- No, I like it was like--
It-It was like
a light bulb in my brain.
- Okay, so after watching that,
what is everyone's response?
Was Huda clear
in her intentions,
or do you feel otherwise?
- I thought that was pretty clear
from my standpoint at least.
- You know, it was direct.
- I still feel like
it's not the whole thing,
because we had
that conversation a few times,
and every time we had a talk
or something, it was moments
of like, I'm so happy for you.
Like, you have
both these guys here
and you get to explore them
and I get to explore them too.
And it's like, that's what
my frustration was,
was just
keep pushing this narrative
of like, I'm doing this for you.
I didn't like that.
Andy: Huda how do you feel
seeing that clip?
- I feel like it's exactly
what I said, I had said,
and honestly, if--
If-If you misunderstood it or--
- There wasn't
a misunderstanding.
Do you remember the conversation
in the dressing room
when you said to me
like, oh, if you
didn't say this,
even if you told me no,
I still would have did it
for you anyways
because I know
what my girl wants.
Do you remember that?
- I-I think.
- And Cierra said to you,
"Huda, that's crazy."
Do you remember?
- I-I can't remember,
but if I said that
yes, it was also for you.
And I think that that may have
been me just reassuring you
to make you more
comfortable with my decision.
But I did express
on multiple occasions
that it wasn't only for you.
And I think that honestly,
I've moved on past it.
Chelley: Yeah.
Huda: You got--
You're clearly happy
outside the villa.
And I think that's really
what you should be focusing on.
- And trust me.
I am focused on that.
But I want to say
this to you, Huda.
This was never
a misunderstanding.
I never felt like you
shouldn't have explored him.
I never felt like,
oh, it was supposed
to be just for me.
I never felt like that.
That being said,
when I came out the villa
and things seemed
like they were cool
and sweet and fine.
You were speaking
to me everything.
You went on your podcast
and was addressing me,
and the way you're addressing
it was in a way of like,
I did this.
Like I was clear about it,
like everyone's making it
like this and that, whatever.
But it's,
like, you were apologetic
at one point,
came off a show,
went on interviews.
You added fuel to so many fires
that were already out there.
- It's true.
Chelley: And then now
we're back here where it's,
like, oh, you know,
just focus on this.
I am focused on my relationship.
It's just annoying
that you keep trying
to be like, oh, girls, girl,
I'm doing this for you.
This, that, whatever.
[***]
Ariana: Okay. Don't go anywhere.
We will be right back
with more of the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion.
[applause]
Woo!
crew: Ladies,
can I take you for it?
Uh, you'll be on the second row.
Uh, you three gents,
are you leaving?
woman: Mm.
[***]
[***]
[upbeat music playing]
- [applause]
Ariana: Welcome back.
I'm Ariana Madix here
with the cast
of Love Island USA:
Season Seven.
- And I'm Andy Cohen.
Right now it's time to welcome
back two Islanders
whose chemistry
was top of the class.
Let's say hi again
to Hannah and Charlie.
[applause]
Ariana: A viewer named
Rachel asked
"Iris and TJ,
Pepe and Hannah.
Is there
unfinished business?"
- I don't think so.
I think me and Iris,
we had that conversation
in LA.
And, you know,
we needed to
have that conversation
to move forward.
And, you know,
she's with Pepe,
and they have
a great relationship.
So I'm happy
for the both of them.
Ariana: And what about you,
Hannah?
- I think that nobody
is as deserving of, like,
a strong connection as them.
I think they both
are amazing people.
There's no animosity
from me at all.
- How hard was it when you
left the villa,
then watching the show
and seeing them
strike up a connection?
- When I left, I kind of left
with the mindset that, like,
I know that
things change quickly,
and I am not gonna
hold on to something
that, like,
could not work out.
- Right.
- And I didn't want to, like,
end up disappointed
or feeling, you know,
like, hurt or upset.
And, like, Iris
is the best woman ever.
- Love you.
- And that's my girl.
And, like, she had my back.
And I wanna have her back
through everything.
- Love you.
- I love you.
[chuckles]
- Andreina, do you have
anything to say to Bryan
who called
you boring on the show?
- Well, to be fair,
he didn't call me boring.
I watched back, he called
our conversations boring,
which I-- Where's Bryan?
- Yeah, you've seen it. Yes.
- Which, yes. I totally agree.
Um, I'm not mad
about that at all.
I just feel like me and Bryan,
it was just nothing there.
I was just upset about him
standing behind Jaden
because he never told me
about Jaden.
You know, I would appreciate
if you're like,
"Listen, I'm not feeling you.
I'm feeling Jaden.
I'm having
conversations with her."
But he never said anything
about Jaden.
And that's why I was upset
when I left.
- Bryan, would you
wanna address that?
- We were coupled up basically
off physical attraction.
We were trying to get to know
each other,
and then we said we
wanted to explore other people.
She had a conversation
with Pepe that day.
I had a conversation
with Jaden.
And it was either
staying behind somebody
I know would be just a friend
or there was no romantic
connection there,
or staying behind
somebody that
there is a potential
connection with.
So that's why
I made that decision.
And I honestly didn't
have the time to tell her.
So that's honestly
why that happened.
I know we had a conversation
where we were like,
if we're feeling somebody else,
we do that.
So maybe I apologize for that,
but that's why I didn't do it.
I really didn't have
the time to do it.
After the challenge,
we went right to that.
So...
- Okay, when I pulled
Pepe for a chat,
I went to you first
and I told you
I'm pulling Pepe for a chat
because I just felt weird
pulling someone else for a chat
without telling you.
And that's when you told me,
"Oh, I'm also pulling Jaden."
Which I feel like maybe
you wouldn't have done that
if I didn't say first
that I was pulling
someone else for the chat.
And also you had, I think,
two or three conversations
with Jaden.
So I feel like you did
have the chance
to let me know
that you were feeling Jaden,
but you never even
mentioned Jaden's name.
- Yeah, the reason behind that
was like you said,
we went like two days
without talking
unless we were laying
in the bed with each other.
And, at that point,
I got to explore.
Yeah, I probably could
have made it clear sooner.
So that's probably
on my on my side.
I'm not scared to admit that,
but that was the reason
why I stood behind
Jaden on that challenge.
So...
- Okay.
- Well, they say that
two's company,
but three's a crowd.
And no one knows that better
than Charlie, Hannah and Pepe.
Just as sparks were flying
between Hannah and Charlie,
America voted to pair her
with bombshell Pepe instead.
Then, in a shocking twist,
Charlie got dumped.
Let's take a look at the vote
that rocked the villa.
♪ I'm the star ♪
♪ And I'm the flame ♪
♪ Everybody knows my name ♪
- sh*t, this got interesting, boys.
- Let's get the game going.
♪ Do I have your attention? ♪
♪ I don't think I got done ♪
♪ I know you want it ♪
♪ You want it, you want it ♪
Charlie: If this is what
all baseball games are like,
I understand what the Americans
get so hyped about.
The girl that I want
to couple up with is Hannah.
[applause]
[indistinct song lyrics]
- Charlie is quite literally
the embodiment of my type.
Plus, he has
that little British accent
that makes me wanna
tip tip cheerio.
- Tip tip cheerio.
- Take my clothes off,
you know.
- Obviously, I'm aware that,
you know,
someone could always come
into the villa
that does tick some boxes
and may take your attention.
- I think you have nothing
to worry about.
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
[dramatic music playing]
Pepe: [in Spanish]
Hola, mi llamo Pepe.
- Not the whip!
Pepe: I'm here for Hannah.
woman: Oh, Hannah!
Pepe: I know
what I came here to get.
And I'm gonna get it.
- Sorry, Charlie.
[women screaming]
- I'm f*cked.
- I hate this sh*t.
Chelley: You should not worry
about that man
until she tells you
to worry about that man.
[***]
- Oh, Lord.
- I felt like I was losing you.
I'm not gonna lie.
- We are already so good,
I don't think it's possible
for anything to be better.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Like, I have been all over
the place the last few days,
but ultimately,
what I've been missing
has been, like,
right in front of me.
[***]
- Pepe, the girl America wants
you to couple up with is...
[***]
...Hannah.
[***]
Who do you want to dump
from the island tonight?
- Charlie.
[***]
- Charlie.
- Charlie.
[***]
[sobs]
[applause]
- Charlie. How does it feel
watching all of that back?
- You know, like,
the way it went down was...
It was pretty brutal.
You know, like to go, you know,
me and Hannah were coupled up,
and then we get separated
by the America vote.
To then only moments later,
after that,
gettin' dumped out of the island
by my own Islanders.
Right? I'm completely
out of the picture.
It's not even like
I can fight for it.
And, yeah, man, like it's--
It was rough.
Do you know what I mean?
That first week was
pretty rough, to be honest.
- Hannah, take us through how
you were feeling that night
that Charlie got voted off.
- Like, I felt really guilty
because I felt like
part of the reason that he was
sent home was because of me.
And, like, what I did.
And so I really
blamed myself a lot.
And I think that led to like,
a lot of the emotions
I was feeling.
But I think I was just
needing somebody
there for me in that time.
And I think that
Pepe was, like,
there for me through that.
And I think
that just shows, like,
a testament to his character.
And I think that's why
I had such mixed emotions,
because I was really sad.
But also, like, I was grateful
to have somebody
there to comfort me.
woman: Yeah.
- Um, I don't-- I don't hold
any negativity towards you
about moving on with Pepe.
At the end of the day,
you obviously
were attracted to Pepe
and also felt a connection.
And, you know--
- At the time you said
it made you feel sick.
- Of course it did.
The first week, 100%.
Like, I've been dumped
from the island.
First thing I see the next day
is they go on a date.
Second day. Then, obviously,
things got a bit more intimate.
Yeah. I think any person,
any normal human,
when you're developing
feelings for someone
or you're going
through something,
no one wants to see
that other person
be intimate
with somebody else.
That's just basic human emotion.
Do you know what I mean?
On the outside
and the inside of the villa.
- Hannah, what's making
you emotional tonight?
- I don't know,
I think it's just like--
It's, like, nostalgic
to be around everyone and,
like, kind of actually,
like, processing everything.
Because I think as soon
as I got home, I was like,
"I'm gonna stay in my bed
and, like,
do what I want to do and, like,
completely turn my brain off
from this."
I think it's--
it's weird to relive it now.
- Charlie, I know you said that
Amaya's vote was really hurtful.
Especially because
you two had a connection.
What did it feel like to watch
that moment back?
- So for me,
I'll break that down, like...
So for me, I actually spoke to
Amaya before Hannah,
and I remember thinking,
"Man, this girl's great."
Do you know what I mean?
She was bubbly.
Do you know
what I mean? Great.
But then me and Hannah
really progressed.
And after the situation
with Ace happened,
the babe thing,
I remember Hannah came up
to me and said, like,
"Amaya asked
if she could speak to you.
She feels like she feels
comfortable to speak
to you about the situation."
And, you know,
she came to me
and, you know,
it was emotional.
And I was saying, "Listen,
like, don't worry about it.
You're gonna
find somebody."
And, you know, I felt like
for a little few days,
me and Hannah
had this cool friendship.
So, yeah, like, for me,
the vote was, you know,
it probably hurt the most
because I just thought,
"Damn!" Like, you know...
I always kind of felt
there was at least
some kind of friendship there.
- I'm sorry.
Charlie: I understand.
I wonder, what was it that.
What was it that made you
the final, like the final...
- The final vote?
- Mm-hm.
- Um, so it was just like,
based off the last conversation
that I had with Hannah,
and it was just like you guys
were both in a bad place.
So that's why my vote
went the way that it did.
So that's why.
But it was nothing
personal towards you or...
Charlie: Of course not.
Yeah, I know that.
Amaya: And I hope that
doesn't define our friendship
or any type of way.
- No, it doesn't, because--
Amaya: Because it was
really hard.
- No, I understand.
- That's why I was like,
"We don't want to do that."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, no, of course
it's a difficult situation
to be in for anybody,
you know,
to make that decision.
So I wasn't sure whether
you'd vote for me or not,
but, um, I just thought
it was probably...
Maybe I still feel like I was
the easy vote for everyone,
to be honest.
I felt like it was easier.
Do you know what I mean?
Because they were rooting
for their own people.
I felt me and Hannah's
connection was strongest.
Respectfully, I do feel like
it probably
should've been
Taylor that went that night.
Do you know what I mean?
Because it's evident
now to see
that he wasn't really
into Olandria
as much as people thought.
And, like, obviously,
he's gone on to meet Clark.
Yeah. And that's great.
That's part of the show.
But if you're gonna weigh
it up, the three people,
I don't think I should have gone
home that night, but I think,
it was easier to send me home.
- Will you guys ever rekindle,
you think?
- Like, intimately?
- Yeah. Romantically.
- I don't-- I don't-- We--
We haven't really, uh...
spoken to each other
in that way
since-- since the villa.
And, you know...
- Hannah, do you see
a chance for that?
- I would say I do not.
Ariana: Got it. Okay.
Andy: All right.
- Well, you're clear on that.
Well, Hannah thought her
journey with Pepe
was just getting started,
but the girls had other plans.
After landing
in the bottom three,
Hannah's fate was left
to the safe Islanders,
and in a surprise move,
the girls sent her packing.
- We actually have unseen
footage of that deliberation
that we can show you
right now.
- I don't wanna send
Amaya home.
- This is obviously a very,
very hard decision for all of us
because we have
like a special bond with each
individual girl up there.
But I truly feel like this
should be fair
and we should go from, like,
the strongest couple
to, like, the weakest.
And all we have to go off of
is just like
recent things have happened
and recent conversations.
- Yes.
- I think that's only fair.
- I'm kinda--
- Let's go one by one.
- Pepe and Hannah.
Amazing.
- They're good.
They're really good.
- They're really solid.
And he's really happy
and she's really happy.
And I would hate
to f*ck that up.
- Me too.
- And then--
- Any input?
- Um...
I don't know how I feel
about going
based off of the connections,
simply because--
If we're using Hannah
and Pepe for an example,
I just-- Thinking about
their connection,
I think about her and Charlie's
connection,
how it happened instantly,
and then how her and Pepe's
happened instantly.
And when it was
you and Jeremiah,
I'm like, "You know what?
I can't be the one to say that
love at first sight
is not a real thing."
But then it's like,
"Look where you guys ended up."
And I--
- You got a good point, Chelley.
- We keep talking about
exploring, exploring, exploring.
And not for nothing,
I haven't seen that.
So that's why this whole,
like, strong connection thing,
like, I'm scared
to go based off of just that.
- Agreed.
- Because I feel like
being in here was about
exploring your connections
and finding your person...
- Mm-hm.
- ...and actually looking,
you know,
within other people--
Not just automatically you make
a connection with this person,
now I'm stuck
like glue with you.
I think I really feel it's more
about people's actual actions
and intentions
on being in here,
which was to find your person.
- So let's table that.
- Okay.
- Iris. I feel like...
A, she's had the least
amount of time in here,
which is unfortunate.
B, she hasn't gotten the chance
to explore a connection
that isn't
within her decision.
- Exactly. Yeah.
- C--
- And, you know,
I wanna also
throw into there.
Even when
it wasn't her decision,
she still then
tried to explore it.
- "You know what,
I've been dealt this deck.
I'm gonna go through it
and try my hardest."
- She's definitely going
about it the right way.
- Yeah. I don't wanna--
I don't want-- I don't wanna
do it to any of them.
- And then Iris is...
- Yeah.
- They all deserve
to be here.
- No, they do.
- Agreed.
- They do. I think Amaya...
Amaya, I really feel like
she--
- She's gonna want to--
- I don't want her to go home.
- I don't want her to go home.
- I feel like she...
she gives her all
in all her connections
that she's made so far.
And she's been open.
- She's trying so hard.
- She's been beating
herself up so bad about this.
- So it's either
Hannah or Iris.
- I really feel Iris has
truly been putting
her best foot forward.
She's been dealt with some
f*cking shitty a*s cards, y'all.
- I would feel awful
sending Iris home,
but then I would feel awful
sending Hannah home.
- Hannah is such a f*cking
light in this place.
- That's what I'm saying.
- Yeah, this is crazy.
- She is such a big personality.
I love that girl down.
- I love her, too.
- Agreed. She's so sweet.
- One, two, three, name.
- f*ck!
- All right, take 10 seconds.
[sighs]
- Ten, nine, eight...
- I feel so bad, man.
...seven, six, five,
four, three,
two, one.
all: Hannah.
- [gasps] f*ck!
- Hannah. What does it feel
like to see that?
- I just need a second.
- Oh.
- You're okay, baby.
[mutters softly]
- It hurts...
But I understand.
It feels better to know now.
I guess the explanation,
'cause I think that's what
I struggled with a lot,
is I just felt like there was
so many unanswered questions.
And I just was wondering
what I did wrong,
or if there was something
I could have done or said
that would have
changed things.
But I'm grateful
for my experience.
And...
I just was not
gonna find love in the villa.
And that's okay.
- I'm wondering
if any of the ladies
regret dumping Hannah...
Or does your reasoning
still stand?
Chelley: Sending someone home
is never a good feeling.
And even sitting here
seeing you emotional now
is not a good feeling either.
In that moment, I was like,
"Maybe we could do things
a little bit differently.
There's other people here
who haven't gotten a chance
to find a connection,"
like--
And a little part of it,
we were thinking like,
"Oh, my gosh, she gets to
see Charlie again!"
Which at the end of the day,
we still didn't
even feel good about it.
Immediately after, we were very
emotional sending Hannah home.
It felt almost like a betrayal,
to be honest.
- Iris, that made you
really emotional.
- Yeah. I really feel
for Hannah.
You know, she did have
a strong connection.
Sometimes I feel like, "Oh,
maybe I should have went home."
Because I didn't have
a connection.
But it's-- it's a hard thing
to, like, live with.
- Sending anybody home
f*cking sucks.
It really does. Like, it's not
an easy decision at all.
When I tell you,
we sit there for a fat minute
thinking there like, "Come on.
Tell us your answer."
And we're just like,
"We don't f*cking know."
And Hannah's such a sweet
little ball of energy,
and she's flourishing
right now.
And I'm so proud of her.
She made the freaking
best of this sh*t.
I'm proud of her.
- Hannah, how do you feel hearing
all of that from the girls?
- I think that the general
consensus
from what I've seen since
I've been out of the villa
is everyone wants me to be
so angry at them...
and they're saying, like,
"They're not your friends."
Like, "They wouldn't
have sent you home."
But regardless of who would
have gone home,
somebody was gonna be hurt.
And it doesn't mean that those
friendships weren't important.
And I don't like--
I would shut that down
every time
because you guys
are important to me,
and you guys
treated me so well.
And, like, this wouldn't
have happened.
Amaya and Bryan
wouldn't have happened.
Like, I am so grateful
that these beautiful
connections were able to come,
even if it was off of, like,
a heartbreak for me.
But you know, everything
happens for a reason.
And I'm just grateful
that I got to meet everyone,
and that I get to cherish
these friendships forever.
- What a great attitude.
- Sweetie pie.
Andy: Absolutely.
We are gonna leave it there.
We will be right back.
[***]
[***]
[indistinct chattering]
- Okay, listen,
if you guys ever,
like, let's say
hypothetically.
- Hypothetically.
- You guys have a baby...
- Not for years.
- Not for years.
Would you name the baby
Sholace?
Middle name Sholace?
- Hell, no.
- I like it.
- I kind of like it.
- Sholace.
- I kinda like it.
I'm not gonna lie.
- It sounds like Shoelace.
[chuckles]
- Do you have anything to say?
- About you?
- No, about y'all's
relationship.
- I think JD's just jealous
that he doesn't
have the relationship
with either of us
that we have with each other.
[chuckling]
We're live.
- We're back, we're back.
[applause]
- Welcome back
to the Love Island USA
Season Seven Reunion
on Peacock.
I'm Ariana Madix here with
iconic Reunion host
Andy Cohen.
- She may have been
the first one voted out,
but she left a lasting
impression on everybody.
Give it up for Bell-A...
For Bella.
- [applause]
Andy: Sorry.
- [chuckles]
Andy: I mean, I do--
Watching,
I always call you Bell-A.
Of course your name is Bella.
- It's okay.
It's-- It's-- It's confusing,
a little bit.
- But how did you come up
with the "dash-A"?
- My birth given name
has a dash in it.
It's Isabelle-Anne.
So that's where
Bell-A comes from.
- Okay.
- But people just
started pronouncing the dash.
[chuckles]
So here we are.
- How has your life been
since leaving the villa?
- I was not really expecting
the craziness afterwards
to follow.
With-- Like,
the love is strong.
But, you know, I think that
even the-- the backlash can be
a little strong as well,
and a bit heavy to deal with.
- After watching the show,
how did you feel about Nic's
journey after you left?
- I'm very happy with Nic
and Olandria.
I think they are
a beautiful couple.
And I'm so happy
for you guys.
- I love the sisterhood that you
and Huda had in the villa.
- Hi.
- Are you two still tight?
- I will forever hold the biggest
amount of love for Huda.
You know, she was there for me
when nobody else really was.
- I love you,
- And I'm sad
to say that this is
the first time I've seen her...
- We haven't seen
each other at all.
I think we've both
been so busy.
I f*cking love Bella.
She's great.
- Well, let's bring out
another OG
who had a lot going on
in the villa.
And had quite a lot of people
talking after he left.
It's Jeremiah.
[***]
- Look at that handsome guy.
[applause]
- Jeremiah,
it's good to see you again.
How are you feeling?
Are you nervous at all?
- Nah, I feel great.
- Well, on Love Island,
breakfast was the true barometer
of our couple's connections.
And nothing tested
the temperature
quite like
an uncooked pancake.
- I'm dead.
- Pancake, eggs over easy.
- Fried peanut butter?
- It was so disgusting.
But I did that for you.
- You're so real for that.
- Yeah.
- Do you know
how to make coffee?
- No.
- Are you serious?
- I'm so serious, I do not.
- Oh, sh*t.
Now, I know
you wanted a coffee.
- Yeah,
- But, like, I'm still
trying to figure out how to
work the machine type sh*t.
[laughs]
- Yo, you are k*lling me.
Why do you keep taking
these people's treats?
- Wow. First time.
- No way.
woman: Don't eat that.
- Taylor, can you
help me with this?
[sighs]
You should
thank your boy, Taylor.
He helped me with, like,
my breakfast today.
[***]
- Okay. What's your point
in saying that?
- I'm just saying.
- Okay, cool. For sure.
What the f*ck?
- You may not agree
with the pancake thing.
Whatever. And I get it.
- I-- Okay.
The thing is, it's not even
something for me to agree on
because why would I think
someone's making you pancakes
when I already made you
a pancake?
And the fact we're still talking
about this is kind of nuts.
- It was that
uncooked pancake
that seemed to push your
relationship over the edge.
Huda, do you think
you overreacted at all?
- I mean, it sucks to have
an uncooked pancake.
I'm not gonna lie.
But, you know, he made
the effort to make a pancake.
God bless him.
- You said, Jeremiah,
in the press
that your relationship
was very toxic.
- Yeah. For sure.
Andy: Did you feel like that
when you were in it
or did you get a greater
perspective watching it back?
- I f*cked up
the pancake, 100%.
It wasn't about
the undercooked pancake.
But it was like the way
she went about things--
Like asking Taylor,
and then like,
"Oh, thank you, Taylor.
Thank you, Taylor."
That's her sign
to get me to notice
another man cooking
or something.
To me, that's strange.
That's where I was like,
"Okay, let me start paying
real attention
to how our communication is."
- There's definitely things
that I should have worked on,
and that's those things that
I'm addressing in my life now.
The thing is that you learn
from mistakes
and you work towards
being a better person.
- What do the other Islanders
think about the relationship...
- You don't gotta do all that.
- ...between the two of them
you guys witnessed while
you were in the villa together?
- I was surprised it lasted
that long, man.
- [laughs]
- I'm not gonna lie.
Someone said what?
That pancake situation
would've been done for me.
So fair play to him.
He tried, but--
That's crazy.
- I'm never one to put the blame
all on one person,
but like our date,
for example,
I'm like, "Okay,
first we have to,
"you know, survive the villa.
"Then we got to, you know,
do long distance.
"Then we got to, you know,
date in the same city.
"Then we move in together."
But then watching the clip back,
she goes and tells the girls,
"He said he wants to
move in with me."
And that makes the girls
look at me some type of way
as the lovebombing--
When that's not at all
what had happened.
Do you feel like
I lovebombed you
by definition of lovebombing?
- To some capacity, yes, I do.
Jeremiah: Okay.
But, you know,
the definition of lovebombing
has to involve intent
and manipulation?
- People don't have
to do it intentionally.
You can lovebomb
unintentionally.
- Okay, so if you're saying
I love you twice in three days,
and then me saying,
"Yo, sometimes I do too much,
I don't wanna be overbearing.
Let me know if I'm tripping."
And you say,
"No, you're doing fine."
How am I lovebombing you
if I'm coming to you
and asking you
"Yo, I think I'm doing too much,
am I?"
and you say no?
And then also,
at the same time,
I'm not doing enough.
So with those three facts
alone, in my eyes,
I can't be lovebombing you
because those all contradict
what lovebombing is--
From my point of view.
- Well, yeah, I felt
all the emotions.
Like, when you would
tell me things, like,
I've truly felt those
emotions.
- They were real. For sure.
- Yeah, I felt those emotions.
- I didn't lovebomb you.
I just wanted to, like,
explain why to everyone else
that said I was lovebombing.
Does that make sense
to you, Ace?
- When you're telling me
very early on,
"Yo, if a Bombshell come in,
just tell your girl.
'Oh, I love you' and your
girl's not gonna leave you"
and you tell me
it's a joke--
- Yeah, it's very clearly
a joke.
- Okay, but this is
something a little off.
- Yeah, but lovebombing
is to that person.
I can't lovebomb Huda
through you.
- You're coming to us about,
"What should I do
about this girl?
What should I do about this?"
And then you guys are having
this toxic a*s relationship
throughout the villa...
- Yeah, true.
- ...it's affecting all of us.
- I agree,
I liked her too much.
Moved too fast--
With you on that.
But by definition, like,
I did not lovebomb her.
I just liked her too much,
too fast.
- Sometimes I might have
my own perspective.
And, you know,
I'm just very adamant on getting
my perspective across.
But it was never no ill intent
between you two.
- I think when you called me
a scammer,
that is when I was like,
"What the hell? How am I--
I'm going through hell
right now,
and you're calling me
a scammer?"
Like, I don't--
- And that was that was off--
That was off of the comments,
what I was hearing.
And that's when I made the--
- Yeah. But then, like,
putting that on America
like America
thinks I'm a scammer.
Like, that was, like,
villainizing me
when that was not at all
what I was going through.
I was just trying to deal
with a relationship,
you know,
that turned up toxic.
And I'm not a scammer, like--
That sh*t really hurt.
- So do you think that Jeremiah
was there
for the wrong reasons?
- When I hear comments about
getting the money,
when I hear comments about
followers outside the villa,
I don't feel
this is a genuine connection.
- What did you hear?
He was focused too much
on what would happen after this,
after the show?
- It's been conversations of,
you know,
when the guys are sitting around
talking about,
you know, what was
our following before this
and what was your following,
and what do you think
is gonna be.
- Well. I'll clear that up
real quick.
Um, one, I never mentioned
the money.
I remember I made a joke
and we're like,
"Oh, when do we get out of here
or when we win."
I didn't go in there.
"Let me go get 50.
Let me go stress for six weeks
to get 50 racks."
You know, that's not--
Respectfully, like,
I'm not going through that
for 50 racks. You feel me?
So it's like it was never
about the money.
And then, two, your point.
It was never about,
"Oh, I can't wait to get out
here and see what I got."
So I'm not gonna go in here
like rolling the dice,
trying to get followers.
That's dumb.
- I'm curious for Nic
and Taylor
if you think Jeremiah
was lovebombing.
- [clears throat] I just--
I just agree
with whatever Ace says.
So...
- Oh, my God!
[laughter]
- I don't think he was there
for the wrong reasons.
You know,
we all came here to find love.
- Andreina, I wanna ask you
about something Taylor
said on a podcast.
He said that Jeremiah
was possessive of you
to the point of telling
the boys not to talk to you.
Uh, Pepe and Nic both
wanted to get to know you,
but Jeremiah
would tell them not to.
What's your reaction to this?
- I-- I don't even think
that's a question for me.
I mean...
- What?
Andy: What's your reaction?
- Did I tell you not to?
- First off, no,
that's not what you said.
What I said
on the podcast was
Jeremiah was being possessive
over Andreina.
Me and Pepe was in the bedroom
one night, and Jeremiah said,
"I'm gonna talk
to Andreina all day,
so nobody is
going to talk to her."
That's what I said
on the podcast.
- Yeah, but like, y'all can
pull her whenever for a chat.
- Yeah, it was a joke,
Jeremiah: You know, like--
You know me--
That's, like, week three, bro.
"I'mma talk to you all night
so y'all can't."
Aha! Come on, bro.
Like, don't try
to villainize that.
That's strange.
- Austin, you're super close
with Jeremiah.
Um, what do you
make of all this?
- Um...
I'm so sorry.
I was just zoned out for,
like, five minutes.
- Welcome back.
Austin: Um...
- [giggles]
Am I missing something?
- If you think of something,
call on us.
[laughs]
- Yeah. No, I don't think--
I don't think, uh--
I don't think Jeremiah
was lovebombing.
I think, like, you can like
someone too much and, um--
Yeah. Move not the correct way,
like, going about it,
just 'cause, like,
you like someone so much.
- Did you hear the same
things that, you know...
- Yeah, but I took it
as a joke, like the...
"I'm gonna talk
to her all day..."
- You can pull people for chats,
whatever, but, like--
Come on bro, don't do that.
- That's kind of like a...
Yeah, I mean,
I took those as a joke.
I don't think, um...
- Got it.
- There was a challenge
and the question was,
"Who do you think should
be axed from the villa?"
You chose Jeremiah.
Why did you choose him?
- I mean, obviously
I was joking, too.
Jeremiah: Yeah. Come on, bro.
- It wasn't anything serious.
- But you see how people
go home, though,
off of just jokes?
[***]
[***]
- But you see how people
go home, though,
off of just jokes?
Austin: I mean, yeah.
But, like, you guys voted out
a bunch of couples?
Hannah, Pepe.
Charlie, Jeremiah.
- These are group decisions.
- People went home either way.
People are gonna go home.
- Yeah. I didn't go home because
he shot me with the cannon.
- I'm saying, though,
he felt some type of way, too.
Just because he doesn't wanna
stand on business
- and say why he chose someone.
- I did-- I did not feel--
- No, it was a joke.
That's my bro.
He just wanted to hit me.
Ariana: Austin,
from your perspective
as someone in Jeremiah's
inner circle...
- Inner circle.
- ...do you think that there
were really two different
"guy squads" in the villa?
- Yeah, like, I mean,
there's definitely two squads,
I guess,
but I don't think that it's...
- It's not beef.
- ...animosity driven.
I just think that people
are like,
they always wanna know, like,
"Oh, what do you think
of this person?
Do you not like this person?"
At the end of the day, like,
we all went through
this experience together.
So it's like
we're one big family.
You just have, like,
certain family members
you like more than the others.
- Oh, easy.
- What the hell?
- Austin and Ace,
they got some deep rooted beef.
- They do have something.
- Why do they have that?
Like, it's so intense.
- They don't like each other.
Andy: I know, Jeremiah,
you felt betrayed
by your eviction.
- Yeah.
Andy: Nic, you mentioned
that you wanted to address
Jeremiah's dumping
specifically.
What did you wanna say?
- Well, that night
of the dumping,
it was supposed to be
a group decision between,
you know, Ace, Taylor and I.
And I guess what was never
shown was that when--
when we were talking about it,
I specifically had said,
if Andreina and Jeremiah
even have, like,
a 5% chance of making it,
that's who I want to keep
in the villa.
And I thought that Austin should
be removed from the villa.
I didn't vote you out
to be like a scapegoat.
- Scapegoat! [giggles]
- We just said... What?
- A scapegoat.
- A scapegoat. [laughs]
- What's wrong with that?
- It reminded me of a scapegoat.
- The meme that we were making.
'Cause I said it twice!
[laughter]
- All right.
Well, on that note...
- We do have unseen footage
of the boys deliberations
that we can show you
right now.
- I think, for me,
it's an easy decision
that Pepe should be safe.
And it's about--
- 100%.
- And now it's about us
versus Jeremiah.
- Now, I don't feel--
Honestly, we should
send Austin home,
because I don't feel
he's got his fair shake.
- He also really hasn't had
his type come in here yet
for him to, you know,
dive in 100% on it.
- And then another point
to that is when, you know,
even if the person
wasn't his type,
Austin's still up
making breakfast
for that person regardless
and still trying.
You know what I mean?
- So now, at least,
you know Jeremiah...
I know y'all have
strong opinions on that,
so I'll let y'all speak.
- The thing with Jeremiah, bro,
is just, like--
The fact that
it's just like...
I feel like he's repeating
the same cycle.
America gave him Iris,
to explore that.
Okay, he explored her
for a day...
and then Andreina comes in
and he's, "f*ck Iris.
Trade in-- Andreina."
And here he's not getting
the full experience, bro.
He's not...
He's not doing Love Island
the correct way.
- I think the problem
I'm having is, like,
you guys might think that
the same cycle is happening,
but right now it's about,
you know, you have Austin
who doesn't
have somebody right now,
and it could be a gamble,
sending Austin home.
- Sending Jeremiah. Yeah.
- And then, you know,
Jeremiah is, like, same cycle.
- Definitely.
- On the other hand,
it's a gamble because
if you send send, um...
- Jeremiah home.
- Jeremiah? Sorry, am I
saying that right?
- No. Yeah. You said right.
- If you're sending
Jeremiah home,
then you could be risking,
you know, his relationship
with Andreina.
- Mm-hm.
- And I don't wanna
write it off
just because of, like,
the history that he's had.
I would like to think that
he is someone
who grows from this
and changes things.
And right now,
Austin doesn't have
any sort of relationship
here.
But I think it sounds
like two votes for Jeremiah.
So it's like...
Jeremiah is the vote.
- f*ck.
[chuckles]
- Jeremiah, how does it
feel to see that?
- Um, I do appreciate,
you know, Nic saying,
"Look, like, he's probably
gonna grow from this."
You know, no offense to Austin,
but Austin should've went home.
So that definitely makes me
feel better about, you know,
me and Nic being cool,
for sure.
- Well, Ace, we got a lot of
reactions on social media...
Ace: Yeah.
- ...that you were
the ringleader of sorts...
- Right! Yeah!
- ...in getting Jeremiah dumped.
And I know you put out
a diss track
about it recently...
Ace: Oh, no!
- ...where you alluded
to the ringleader title.
But I just wanna
hear your perspective here.
- First off,
it wasn't a diss track.
It was just a creative way for
me to express how I'm feeling.
- Do you see how people could
think you were the ringleader?
- Um, I will say
I was very vocal.
But again,
in these vocal moments,
everybody has
something to say.
You know what I mean?
Like, those group settings
when we had it--
If you think I'm just gonna
have a conversation
with myself throughout
the whole entire thing,
it's kind of silly
to believe that.
And I feel like other people
gave their inputs
on things
that just wasn't highlighted.
- Was Ace the ringleader,
did you think, Charlie?
- I'll never let another guy
f*cking tell me what to do.
But-- But-- But, like,
don't know about...
ringleader, but, you know,
definitely trying
to figure out where
everyone's heads were at.
He was definitely
always asking,
"Yo, who do you
wanna talk to today?
Who do you want to talk to?"
But not giving out as much
information in return.
And when I started noticing
that, I was like,
"Okay, maybe I've got
to start keeping my cards close
to my chest type sh*t."
Do you know what I mean?
- Last thing I'll say is, like,
I moved on now,
but during the time,
like the night Charlie left,
you're at the Firepit
yelling about me.
And then when y'all are
sitting in the circle,
from my personal experience
in the villa,
you were the ringleader.
You were like
the main antagonist.
That's what, like,
my experience was.
- But, Jeremiah,
you're a grown a*s man.
How could I ringlead a bunch
of other grown men?
You're saying, "Oh, you was at
the Firepit going off about me
and calling me a scammer."
There's reasons
why I've stated that.
And I've told you that
to your face.
So coming out,
saying that
I'm the ringleader,
I'm the person who sends--
I'm the only person
responsible
for sending a person home
on Love Island...
- Austin, was Ace
the ringleader?
- I mean, the ringleader is such
a weird, like, way to put it.
- How would you put it, then?
- He put it as ringleader.
You said, "The little
ringleader", I remember.
- Okay.
Ace: It's on the on the clip.
- I don't think I said
little ringleader.
You did. You did.
- [laughter]
- That's so funny.
- I think that's an adjective
you added.
- But I'm just saying you did.
- I-- Okay, then I did say
ringleader, yeah.
- Do any of you guys
regret your decision?
- Sending Jeremiah home?
Yes. For sure.
Being a part of that
decision, yes.
I could be a man
and admit that.
I have no problem
admitting when I'm wrong
about certain things.
Andy: Who do you think
should have gone?
- Austin. I definitely feel like
Austin should've went home.
- Well, a lot of fans felt like
Jeremiah and Hannah
were dumped unfairly
by the other Islanders.
Should we see
how America voted?
- Yeah.
Ariana: Let's take a look.
The bottom three boys were
Austin, Pepe and Jeremiah.
And the bottom boy
was Jeremiah.
- Damn!
Ariana: And as we know,
the bottom three girls
in the vote were Amaya,
Iris and Hannah.
And we can see that
the bottom girl was Hannah.
Jeremiah: Damn!
- So in theory, we did
what America
was gonna do anyway.
But we still got screwed.
We was gonna get screwed
regardless of who we voted for.
- That's what I'm saying.
People have their own opinions.
- Those two would have
went home regardless.
Thank you for showing that.
Ariana: Well, Ace, I want to
know if there is anything
that you wanna address
directly with the Islanders.
- Um, I feel like... Amaya,
the TikTok video of you.
- Wait, which TikTok video?
- The TikTok-- Yes.
- With Alex Cooper?
- With Alex Cooper.
- I spoke to you about that--
Ace: And I know.
I'm about to address that.
When you're on a video
talking about some...
"Yo, Ace, let's--
let's look at his height.
And don't get me wrong,
I laugh and sh*t.
I laugh at the jokes.
It's all fun and games.
But when you're preaching,
"Oh, I don't stand for bullying.
I don't stand for that."
But then you
post a video like that,
it gives mixed emotions.
You feel what I'm saying?
- No. Okay. Ace, Hold on.
If I knew that she was going
to take that video
and do X, Y, and Z
with whatever--
I would've never have
tolerated that or accepted that.
And I spoke to you directly
that my team
was trying to get that video
taken down.
- Just-- It doesn't feel like
things are genuine
when people are apologizing
behind closed doors.
And there's a different public
narrative still being pushed.
That doesn't feel right to me.
I feel like we all developed
a great family inside the villa.
Just coming out,
just seeing different things...
- People were acting
differently outside the villa
than inside.
Ace: Right.
It hurts my feelings
when the people
who I was in the villa with
don't have my back.
And I'm being scrutinized
in the public
with knowing--
what I went through with y'all.
That's what hurts
my feelings.
- Um, okay. We have to ask
because fans on social media
have clocked it.
I've clocked it that,
Jeremiah, you and Bella were
staying at the same house.
So is there something
going on here?
- I thought I saw--
I saw a video of the same room,
same carpet, same bed.
- It was a bedroom, to be fair.
Nic: Same window.
Jeremiah: I mean, we're all--
We're all at the same house.
[laughter]
- Um, you know, Jeremiah is
an incredible person,
but I think for me,
I have been waiting
my whole life
to be put first
by somebody.
And I think it's really
time for me to put myself first
and-- and choose myself.
And so that's--
that's where my mind's at.
It's-- It's time for Bella
and not "Bella
and somebody else."
It's just me.
- So you guys are not a thing--
Or is there potential?
- Nah, that's my friend.
- Yeah. We're besties.
- I was hoping for a recoupling,
you know.
[laughter]
On that note,
think you've got what it takes
to be on the next season
of Love Island USA?
The villa's waiting.
Apply now on Instagram
@loveislandusa
or on the Love Island app.
[applause]
[***]
[***]
[indistinct conversation]
man: There you are.
- Why are you
going like this?
Is this-- What?
- Different.
[grunting, laughing]
man: Quiet, please.
Thank you, sir. Here we go.
[applause]
- We are back with
the Season Seven Reunion.
I'm your host, Ariana Madix.
Here with me tonight
is Andy Cohen.
- Thanks, Ariana.
Well, one Islander
who definitely shook things up--
Our very own
"Hurricane" Huda.
From the second she stepped
into the villa on day one,
this single mom gave us
meme-worthy moments
all season long.
- Oh, gosh.
I'm one of the most
understanding people
you'll probably ever meet.
- Yeah, I'm not gonna lie,
I'm a little intimidated by you.
[laughs]
- Fourth will be Jeremiah.
[cheering]
- Of course
Amaya picks Jeremiah
to be her fourth base.
[***]
[loud cheering]
man: Oh, sh*t!
[screaming] Oh, sh*t!
- That was the dumbest sh*t
she could have f*cking done.
I just already don't like her.
I think that she has
ulterior motives,
and I just don't f*ck with it.
- Oh.
- Oh, sh*t.
Huda: b*tch, if you don't
f*cking quit it right now.
Thank you.
- America has voted,
and the boy they want you
to couple up with is Jeremiah.
- What?
woman: What?
[laughing]
- Hello, New York.
- [screaming]
Huda: I don't give a f*ck.
[***]
Jeremiah:--in the hot seat
'cause we're exploring.
And now, if I do give Iris
the time of day,
I'm in the wrong because I had
a strong connection with her.
- By all means, explore.
[***]
Like, f*ck you.
You're a b*tch.
You're a p*ssy-a*s b*tch.
I know. This is how you think
it's gonna make me like you.
Just, by all means--
- I don't want to
make you like me.
Jesus!
- So don't f*cking talk to me.
- The crusher.
- This the second one, right?
- No, it's actually the 15th.
- sh*t!
- f*ck all the way out of my
f*cking vag*na, brother.
I said that?
And that's it.
- 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?
- I can't kiss a guy that I like?
God f*cking forbid.
[***]
f*ck this f*cking game.
Like, if I was ugly,
would it make it better?
- [mumbles] No.
- Hurricane Huda.
- Hurricane Huda.
- I can't do it anymore, bro.
[laughing]
- We've a lot of questions.
I'm just gonna start by asking
what it's like watching it back,
but I see
you found it hysterical.
- This is the thing. I've done
so much self-reflection
and so much work
that I can look back
on these moments and laugh.
So it's like, obviously now
I would handle things
so differently.
And all I can say is I was
unapologetically myself
in all of those moments.
I didn't hide who I was
one bit. And--
- So you did a month
of self-reflection
and you're
a different person now?
Huda: Obviously, there's steps
to being a better person.
I think that, you know,
emotions are really
heightened in the villa.
And is there, like,
things that I did in the villa
that I'm not proud of?
Yeah. Like, what do you mean?
I said--
- What aren't you proud of?
- Oh my God, the cursing.
Like saying--
Like calling people names.
Like-- Was that called for?
No.
It happened, though.
Andy: It's a pressure cooker
environment.
- Yeah. Of course.
Andy: In some press interviews,
I know that you said that you
felt isolated in the villa--
And bullied.
- Mm-hm.
- As a viewer,
I couldn't get it.
Because you seemed like
you always had,
like, an ongoing sisterhood
going with the women.
So what was the bullying
that I missed watching the show.
- Well, I had seen some clips
after I left the villa
that made me feel bullied.
- What were in the clips?
- It was when--
I think Chelley was there,
Who was there? Cierra.
- Cierra.
Huda: Um, and I was just--
I thought that you guys were,
like, looking at me,
and I was just being funny
and joking around.
And then I had seen the
commentary you guys made,
and it really did
hurt my feelings.
- Nonchalant queen.
- When she charged at Iris
yesterday,
like, I was
actually f*cking scared.
Chelley: From the moment
Iris got in here,
she already tried to
set a tone of like,
who Iris could talk to
and who she can't.
So if you even feel like you
have to stand your ground
where every person that comes in
here in the name of your person,
that should be a red flag.
- Yeah.
- Why is she
looking over here?
- Oh, I think she thinks
we're staring at her.
- Yeah. But we're not.
[laughter]
- That was mean though.
- It was.
It was-- It was hurtful.
- Chelley, do you know
what clip she's talking about?
- Yeah, I know exactly
what clip she was talking about.
We were all on the couch
just sitting down, talking.
Might look like it was
a mean girl situation
where everyone
was being mean or anything,
but it wasn't even that.
Like just knowing, like,
how we all showed up for you
and was there and kept
preaching sisterhood.
I don't think personally
there was a time
that anyone really bullied you
or anything like that.
- I'm not saying,
"Oh, Chelley bullied me
from start to finish."
Nothing like that.
I think that there were
certain things that were said
that did hurt my feelings.
Maybe bullying could've been
a different word,
but truly, I've really
just moved on from it.
It's-- It is what it is.
- Mm-hm.
- Like, you know,
I don't have any ill will
towards you, like, at all.
- And likewise.
And if you did feel
like you were bullied,
then I apologize for that.
Um, there is no ill feelings
towards anything.
I just-- For me, I just think
the aftermath of everything
was just, like,
shocking to me.
- I appreciate you apologizing,
I really do.
- Huda, I want to add that
being in the villa,
watching the day-to-day,
I really thought
that I saw Olandria
really being there for you
as a friend.
Why did you feel like
you couldn't lean on her
in these moments where you said
you felt you weren't supported?
- Oh, so, with Olandria--
Me and Olandria were really
good friends in the villa.
Like, I loved that b*tch down.
You're not a b*tch, but, like,
you know what I mean?
This is how I talk.
But I love Olandria.
Like, I love Olandria
to death. Okay?
And she was there for me
a lot.
Um, I think it was after that
stand on business challenge
where I was like,
"I don't know who to talk to."
Like, after that.
And we've spoken about it,
we've talked about it,
and like we moved on from it.
- Are you guys still close?
- Okay. So like she said,
we were-- we were super close
in the villa.
Upon exiting the villa,
once we got our phones back,
I saw the amount of hate that
I was getting from her stans.
And I expressed to Huda,
"Hey, I really feel like
it's important,
especially if you
consider yourself
being very, very close to me."
And you was close to Chelley
at some point,
to speak out to your fans
and kind of address.
Because the racism
and all-- all the things,
because out of all of us,
she had the biggest following.
And I truly felt like a lot
of that stuff,
like, the hate train
that me and Chelley came out to
was very important.
I feel like for her to address
directly to her people--
And this is before we got
on a the plane from Fiji
to come back to the States.
We got in Cali, in LA,
she mentioned that
she would, um,
make a post
directed to her fans.
I was like, "You know what?
Thank you. That's all I ask."
You know,
two or three days went by,
and she even decided
to address her people.
And I'm just like, it pained me
because even when she went
on there to say she was bullied
and she didn't put a name to it,
they thought
I was one of the bullies.
You know what I mean?
So I'm glad
she kinda put a name to it now
and kinda cleared that up.
It's like that sh*t
added more hate.
I don't think you understand it.
That sh*t was f*cking
with me mentally.
It was so bad.
I'm like, "Dang!
Like, me and Huda
were so close.
Like, I wasn't
even worth a post?"
Like-- To address your people
when they have
the whole narrative wrong.
You kinda just got into
the real world
and kinda fell into
that narrative and fed it.
I'm like, damn,
did our friendship
not mean anything, you know?
Which is why
I chose to unfollow you.
And we have not spoken.
But that's really
the reason why.
- When I heard about what was
going on, I remember I told you,
I said, "Olandria, I do not want
you or Chelley getting hate."
And I told you that.
And I told you
that I would address it.
In an interview with press,
I addressed the bullying,
and the hate towards you guys,
and I said,
"I don't condone bullying.
I don't agree with it."
And it got aired the day
you unfollowed me.
Chelley: Can I just say
something really quickly?
From what I'm understanding,
like, I don't know--
You didn't really put a name
to who your bullies were.
I think now I'm getting
clarification
that I was
one of your bullies.
- I never put a name to it.
I will say that--
- That was dangerous
'cause I got more hate.
- Hold on, hold on.
- That was dangerous.
- And I literally called you
out on the podcast,
and I said, "I love Olandria!"
So I'm unsure of why you thought
it was towards you at all.
- Because I got hate from it.
That's why I was so confused.
- And I didn't even know that.
And I wish you would have
said something
so I could just clarify again
that I love you.
- I think the clarification
was in the Airbnb though,
'cause the three of us was
in that room
when we
turned to you and said,
"Huda, like, you should
address these people.
It's not okay." Etc, etc.
And you said you will.
You didn't express to me
that you felt like I was
a bully to you or this or that.
You-- You made it seem like,
"Oh, my gosh,
I miss you so much, girl.
"You look beautiful.
How are you?"
Whatever, whatever.
So I'm thinking,
like, everything is good.
Like, to then see you
go in your interviews and say,
"Oh, I was bullied and now
I'll say I was the bully--"
Because that's
what you're insinuating.
It doesn't really make sense
if you said you're gonna,
like, knock that out,
but then you go on and say,
"Oh, that was my bully."
And this is in the midst
of me getting constant hate
based off of what people
felt for you or whatever.
- I definitely said things
on emotion, like,
because it was
shortly after we left.
And obviously, yeah,
I thought things were great.
And then starting
to see the videos,
it really-- it hurt my feelings.
And I should have addressed
that to you directly.
I should have said something,
and I do apologize for not
saying things to you directly.
That is my fault.
And I don't think you should be
getting any hatred at all
in, like, terms of like--
People defending me
or anything like that.
Like, you are a good person,
and I don't want you
to be getting any hate.
Chelley: I mean,
I appreciate your apology.
I'll just say, like, it's just
so confusing sometimes.
Because, like, you know,
in the villa,
we had so many conversations
where you apologize for stuff.
And then we come out
and it's,
"Oh, I'm unapologetically
myself."
And then on a podcast,
it's, like, watering down
everything we talked about
where you acknowledge,
you know,
"I'm sorry I did this.
I might I might have hurt you
in this way and stuff."
And then on your podcast,
it's like,
"Oh, whatever, I just did this.
I don't care."
And it was
such big moments too.
So it's like, even now, like,
I do appreciate your apology,
but it's just like, damn.
It's always an up and down
when it comes to it. But--
Ariana: Huda, why didn't you
do the post
that Olandria asked you to?
Huda: I was dealing with
so much outside of that. Like--
I didn't know what to say
in that moment
because I
was dealing with so much.
I wanted to address more
than just that.
- I truly wish you would have
just prioritized that moment
to just address the racism
and the bullying
towards me and Chelley,
since that was
spewed out the most.
That hurt, Hud.
- I was getting hated on
as well, racially.
- I get that, but your face
was not plastered
on f*cking
George Floyd's body.
Huda: I didn't even see that.
- Mine was. I told you that.
- This was as a result--
- It was that bad.
- I don't know that either.
- Huda, I explained this
at the airport.
Like that--
That sh*t is hurt--
That sh*t hurts.
Huda: And I'm Sorry.
I didn't make a post--
Olandria: I'm glad
you've grown from it now,
but that sh*t hurt, bro.
- Huda: I'm really sorry.
- We was close.
Huda: I'm really--
Like, truly--
- You didn't f*cking
speak up for me.
[***]
[***]
- You didn't f*cking
speak up for me or her.
- I said bullying--
And when I, when--
- It wasn't just bullying,
it was racism.
- All of it.
And I'm really sorry
about that.
Like, I do not make
these posts by people.
I told people I don't
want anybody getting hate.
I don't want any bullying.
I don't want anything.
I've said it so many times.
I said it so many times today.
Like, I am sorry
that all of that happened.
But I was getting
racism hate too.
Like, I don't want you guys
getting hate in that way.
I think that's wrong.
Racism is wrong.
I don't agree with it at all.
- Is this why you
unfollowed her, Olandria?
- A hundred percent. Yes.
- Oh, yeah. Because--
It's like I've seen
two different people.
Because we were
in the villa talking about
"I can't wait
to plan trips together."
You were saying things like,
"Oh, I want you
to meet my daughter, etc."
I was excited for those moments.
- Exactly.
- But then when we get out,
it's like a complete switch,
like you see on social media.
Now you're saying you've seen
clips and this and that.
- Where do you ladies think
that you go from here?
- I mean,
for me personally, like--
You know, you pick and choose
who you want to be friends with,
and that's perfectly fine.
You don't have to be
friends with everybody.
- You want to be friends
with Huda?
- No, I just wish you well
from a distance.
- I wish you well as well.
- Like I want the best for her.
But it's just like-- Me
personally having a friendship,
like, that trust is broken.
Like, that's not something
I could do.
I wouldn't feel like I could
trust her as my friend, so.
- Olandria, same question.
- I love her to death,
but that-- that really was
a turning point for me.
- I wish you guys both well.
I wish you the best.
Like, I don't want either
one of y'all receiving hate.
And like Chelley said,
not everybody is meant
to be friends, and that's okay.
But it doesn't mean
I hate them.
- Um, well, I agree that hate
in any form is unacceptable.
And I'm glad that we were
able to have this conversation.
Um, and thank you guys
for being so open about it.
- Chelley, I wanna talk about
the heart rate challenge.
- Yes.
- What was it that Huda did that
crossed the line in your eyes?
- I think the whole performance
in the video--
I don't know if you guys
have a clip or not,
but, I mean, if it is here,
I'd rather it just be seen
rather than
having to explain it.
Andy: Well, Ariana.
- Yes, we do have an unseen
extended version just for us.
- Yeah!
- [applause]
- Does anybody need
some housekeeping?
[cheering]
You've been
a dirty, dirty boy.
- I sure am.
woman: What is happening?

You don't wanna see this.

out of the...
Off the hook here.
- Oh, I've been off the hook.
- No. Lay down.
- Oh, sh*t.
Hey, babe.
What you doing down here?
- Oh, my God.
- That was insane.
- Oh, my God, you guys.
- Are we supposed to be watching?
woman: Guys.
[laughing, indistinct chatter]
- Guys, this is crazy.
[laughter]
- Oh, this is like soft porn.
man: That's some crazy sh*t.
- That's not soft. [chuckles]

- You can book
our services online.
- So, lots to talk about there.
Huda, when you watch that,
uh, how do you feel?
And do you feel
you went too far or...
- I think that
I took it a step too far for--
for certain people.
And I do apologize if I made
anybody feel uncomfortable.
Everything was consensual.
There was no limitations.
And we all made that
very clear
at the beginning
of the challenge.
- So, Chelley,
watching that back,
do you feel like
you overreacted
or do you feel like you
were justified in your feelings?
- No, I definitely feel
like I was justified.
Um, I wanna bring up
a point of, like--
We've always mentioned
this whole consensual thing,
and everyone's like, "Yeah,
we're all open to everything."
So with that being said,
it comes to a thing of, like,
this friendship and sisterhood.
It was never because
we didn't consent to this.
And I think when you
do certain challenges,
it's with intention because
you're interested in a person,
you like a person.
I mean, to my knowledge,
you didn't have
any interest for Ace.
So to go as far as that,
as me being your friend,
I think my reasons
were very justified.
- So for the rest of the group,
was it as you remembered it?
Was there a smoking g*n?
- I thought it was
taken too far.
It was a boundary
that was crossed.
- I also see, like Huda's side
where we've been preaching
like, "It's a challenge.
it's a challenge."
But in the same breath,
it's like it's week five
and it's Ace and Chelley.
So it's like a bit, you know.
Iris: Just think that there
should have been
more talk about boundaries.
I think that was just
a big miscommunication.
- Huda, if Chelley had done
that routine on Jeremiah
when you were together,
what would your reaction
have been?
- When Chris was getting
danced up on and all that stuff?
I'm over here cheering,
you know,
having a grand old time.
- We're both experiencing him,
you and Jeremiah--
- No, no, with everybody, every
single person I watched Chris,
like, I was cheering, laughing,
the whole nine yards.
- Yeah. But I think
there's a difference
between being danced on
and licking private parts,
if I'm being real.
- And that's the thing.
I once again,
I've apologized for that.
- I was saying this whole
boundaries thing,
I don't feel like I have to
sit here and be like,
"Hey, don't lick the person
that I'm connected with."
"d*ck." Like--
I don't feel like
I have to say that.
Like, I think it's just
an invisible boundary
where I just don't
have to say that.
Just, also as my friend,
and again,
just reciprocating
what you want back.
- All right. Well, I want
to bring up a moment
that has had
so many fans talking.
Viewers thought that they
could hear Cierra
screaming in the background
while Olandria
was in the confessional.
But that wasn't quite it.
- I feel like if I find
the right woman
and she's, 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 Zach.
The things that we both align
ourselves with kinda match.
He's so cute, right?
Am I tripping?
He's so cute, right?
Cierra: [singing]

He is fine as hell.
Like... for real.
I'm being honest.
- [yelling, singing]
- I'm talking over that bullshit.
- [laughing]
[giggling]
- I'm glad they showed that
because everyone kept saying
they were like,
"We don't understand
how Iris and Huda
are friends after this."
I'm like, "We bonded
like that in the villa."
- That's so funny.
- All right, well,
Season Seven was a journey.
And I am so grateful for each
and every one of you guys.
As someone who's been
on a show a lot like this,
the takeaway isn't always
finding true love,
but finding some great friends.
Let's take a look
at the connections
that made this summer
so special.
