Starting point is 00:00:00 What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy. Amaya Papaya, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Oh my God, thank you for having me, the Alex Cooper. No, I'm so excited to meet you. I feel like I've been watching you for like months now and now to get to meet you in person, it feels pretty surreal, honestly. Oh my God. Okay, you are straight from Fiji to the studio. You just won Love Island.
Starting point is 00:00:34 How the fuck are you feeling? Man, I'm feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude. It's nothing but positive feelings, but I really do feel seen and validated. Truly like America fell in love with you and you became a fan favorite like pretty quickly early on, but did you feel that way in the villa, Amaya? Girl, I was so, we were all so isolated.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yeah. And it really got into the point where I was like, I felt so misunderstood and I'm like, wait, is there something wrong with me? Like, what am I doing wrong? Because in the real world, when you're feeling like that, you could easily just block someone, but while being there, you have to like,
Starting point is 00:01:16 be around certain situations. So, yeah. Do you usually block people? Yeah, I'm, usually I'm the person who'd be like, okay, you know what, bye, peace out, block. You're heavy on the block. I'm heavy on the block, girl. I probably have so many people block
Starting point is 00:01:32 that I don't even remember why. Maybe they didn't like the way my cat looked, and I'm like, you know what, block. Wait, you have cats? Yes. I didn't know if you were talking about your cat or your kitty cat. Oh!
Starting point is 00:01:42 No, no! Wait, how many cats do you have? I have two. So Romeo and Luna. Oh my god, I'm obsessed. We, first of all, have to talk about the sweats. I love. Sensitive Gangsta. Sensitive Gangsta. Made in honor of you.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Can you explain to me, like, what is the story behind you calling yourself a Sensitive Gangsta? Because that literally is like the most viral fucking thing. That's crazy. OK, yeah, so sensitive gangsters are just someone who's very in touch with their feelings and isn't afraid to emote.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Is that the right word? Yeah, OK. To just show it. And gangster is just like, OK, these tears, don't let them fool you, baby. I'll cry while still holding my own toes down. I'm still very grounded, but I'll probably just be crying in the process of standing up for myself.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Literally the perfect definition. Someone changed that in the fucking dictionary. Where did you grow up? I grew up in Brooklyn. Shout out to Beggy. How would you have described yourself as a kid? I would definitely say yourself as a kid? I would definitely say I was a kid who would literally just follow people in the park and
Starting point is 00:02:50 be like, hi. And then my favorite thing to do in the swings was to make the swings, you know when you tie the swings up? I would just be there like, yeah, it's like getting so dizzy. But I definitely used to always like, just even if the conversations didn't include me Guess what? I'm inserting myself into a sandwich like hi Okay, who was your celebrity crush growing up? Um, I said I really crushed growing up I would definitely say Hmm. I have a few okay name them bitch. I would definitely say, hmm, I have a few. Okay, name them, bitch.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I would definitely say Jacob Elardi. Yes, especially when he played Nate. I was like, oh. Okay, he was like, I love what you're saying specifically when he played Nate. That's like a little, do you like a bad boy? No, no, no, We did not like Nate. We just like how he looked as Nate.
Starting point is 00:03:50 We do not stand with Nate, okay? Oh my God. I love the clarification. Okay, what superlative do you think you would have gotten in high school? What's that? No, a superlative is like, you would have been like the class clown, you were made
Starting point is 00:04:05 to be famous, you were the most talkative, you would have been known to live in your mom's basement for the rest of your life. You were going to be a professional singer. Like what do you think people would have labeled you as? Okay, I would definitely say most talkative. Like to the point where sometimes the teachers would have to like make me sit outside the room. They're like, but shut the fuck up have to make me sit outside the room.
Starting point is 00:04:26 They're like, but shut the fuck up. But God forbid I'm gonna yap. I'm a yapper. I love that for you. Okay, what made you wanna become a nurse? So, definitely just the caring side. And I'm a big empath. And I also just felt like I definitely do wanna take my education more up. Like I want to go back to school
Starting point is 00:04:46 for my PhD so I could eventually become a professor for nursing students. But yeah, I was just like, when it came down to making the decision of what career path I wanted to go, there was no question. I was like, nurse, am I acute? And Karen. We, I'm dying.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I would imagine, I think all of us would be so happy if we got you as our nurse. Watching you walk in and smile. Like I thought about that. Like when do you think you're gonna go back? Are you gonna go back to work? I definitely do see myself still becoming a nurse. But the thing is it's like, when my patients,
Starting point is 00:05:22 I'm such a big like girl, if my patients are crying, I'll probably like shed a tear and just be there for them. Cause you have to keep in mind that I'm with people on their worst day, like when you're feeling sick. So I want to be the person, the sunshine of their rainy day. Yeah. I'm fucking obsessed with you.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Okay, if you're going out with your girlfriends in New York, what are you doing? What's like your dream night out plans? Girl, first of all, I love a girl's night out, okay? Dressing up in heels, going to a truffle pasta restaurant. But yeah, so definitely it will be all of us dressing up in heels, going to a nice restaurant, and going to a lounge.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Like I love a speak easy easy I love a dynamic like this where we're able to actually hear each other compared to like girl what you said what did he do that's so real you're like I can't hear one fucking thing you're just nodding pretending you know what the fuck they're saying yeah okay what was your longest term relationship my longest term was my first boyfriend we were together for almost four to five years, 16 to 21. My God, why did it end? Affairs?
Starting point is 00:06:31 No. I'm like him being unfaithful. And after a while, like a girl, there's a reason why my standards are the way they are now. Because sometimes you have to just go through some shit. So like, girl, a laxative was taken for real. I went through some shit, okay? So now I am who I am now. That was actually hilarious. So seriously, explosive diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:06:57 How did you find out? I'm sorry, I'm not laughing about you getting cheated. I'm laughing at you saying explosive diarrhea. How did you find out that he cheated? I mean, there will be girls DMing me to let me know, sometimes a girl went through the phone, I'm traumatized with the phone now, I'm like, please turn it away.
Starting point is 00:07:17 But yeah. And how, after you found, like how did you have the courage to end it? Cause I'm assuming you saw like a couple things, and then how did you know you needed to put an end to it at a certain point with behavior just weren't changing Yeah, like oh and then it started to make me feel like I needed to question myself And like am I pretty enough and like what is there wrong with me? But babe, there's never nothing wrong with you. You're just with the wrong person
Starting point is 00:07:43 Facts, what do you think it's like to date you? I really do think it's very entertaining to date me. I'm always saying like the most randomest things ever. But I am definitely like a very nice girl. Like I definitely want to after a long day, babe, tell me about your day. I want to listen to you and make sure that you feel seen and cared for. Do you have a type? Um, you know what? Like, of course, like I want to be attracted to someone, but it's the
Starting point is 00:08:13 personality that would make me more attracted to someone. So once that personality and I start seeing certain colors, I'm like, where's my exit? I don't know. Yeah. And then on to the next. Personality starts first. If you could create a dream man, what would he be like? What would he look like? And what would he do for work? Okay, so I would say he definitely has to be taller than me, which isn't that hard to find.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Your girls will need like five, three, but definitely like I like somebody over six feet. I like somebody who's tatted up, that tattoo. Like I feel like tattoos is another way of somebody create like expressing their creative style like I so I find that beautiful um and a Strong man, but not too strong like you know like somebody who I don't like the whole Like can you like it looks like they're about to pop sometimes Like, can you, like, it looks like they're about to pop sometimes. So, strong but not that strong.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Right, where like you literally like go to the gym five times a day. Yeah, yeah. Like chill. Like chill. Okay, what is your biggest turn off? My biggest turn off is men speaking badly about other women. Like seriously, especially if they're always like talking bad about your ex. Babe, is that really, was she really the problem or were you the problem?
Starting point is 00:09:29 You need to tell me about the moment that you found out that you were going on Love Island. Who were you with? Where were you? What was your reaction? So, okay, so basically I was with my mom. I was taking her away for her birthday actually in Crewe Sal. So it was just like a very me, mommy and daughter moment.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And then I get the phone call and they're like, yeah, so you're definitely coming. And I'm like, what? Like this is insane. My mom didn't even know what Love Island was or is. So I was just like, listen, there's some scenes that you might have to turn your head away for,
Starting point is 00:10:19 but girl, I'm excited to like do the show, do the whole experience. Did you apply or did they find you? So they did find me. Yeah, they sent me a DM. So yeah. They slid in your DMs. They slid in the DMs.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It go down in the DMs. Wait, wait, and Omaya, were you a fan of Love Island? So I never watch a full season. Okay. But I feel like once you watch enough TikTok clips, you feel like you know, know everything that's going on. So I was definitely the one on TikTok like, Oh, wait, he did what? But I was so invested. Got it. Yeah. I mean, it is like a full commitment to actually
Starting point is 00:10:54 watch a full season. You watch like 30 something, 40 hours of your life is gone, but it's worth it. Trust me. It was worth it. Okay. Most contestants, I feel like have their family or their friends take over their social media while they're gone. You had no one in your account. Why? To be honest, that was just the last thing I thought or cared about. Like I honestly really did not care like for doing that. I was like, you know what, let me just go and just really indulge in the whole experience. Like, you know, it was just like, it didn't cross my mind. Which makes, I think a lot of people love you even more.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Cause I think they're like, okay, this bitch never was in it for the clout. Oh, hell to the no. Hell to, like literally I was like, once they took my phone away, I'm like, okay, mom, I'm not getting kidnapped. You're like more worried like mom. So it's called Love Island one more time.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I'm gonna be over here in Fiji if you need to contact me. Bye Were your friends aware of how big the show is like were they excited for you? Yeah, so my best friend especially She was like girl. Oh my god. This is amazing But I like I also was single for the first time in a very long time like for more than a year And I felt like really confident in myself for more than a year. And I felt like really confident in myself. So it was a good place of solitude and just me being okay by myself.
Starting point is 00:12:10 So then that's when I was like, okay, I'm definitely ready to start dating, you know? It's a pretty good way to start dating again. Yeah. Okay, you come into the villa as a motherfucking bombshell. Grenades. Girl. A good grenade.
Starting point is 00:12:23 A good grenade. Wait, let's clarify. Girl. A good grenade. A good grenade. Wait, let's clarify. Yes, a good grenade. But like, Amaya, you have to explain to me how the fuck would you hype yourself up right before you walk out and have to like make out with all these guys and go into this challenge? Well, first of all, that is the first time
Starting point is 00:12:40 I ever done something like that. My sherry definitely was popped. But like seriously, it was just self affirmations every day. Like I was so nervous. I don't know if you guys could tell, but I was like, you got this, you got this, you got this. So yeah, I was just hyping my own self up and just telling myself, do not fall,
Starting point is 00:13:01 do not like do anything too crazy, but definitely just go all in. Are you able to like take a shot before you go out or you're dead sober? Girl, I am sober as hell. Like I had to do all of that sober with no tequila, no Don Julio Agafurio. Like it was literally just me doing me raw dogging, raw dogging it. No condoms. Holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:13:27 That's why I have so much respect for all of you women in these challenges because I'm like, oh my God, I would have to get into a serious fucking place in my head to go twerk on someone and make out with like five guys and be dead ass sober. Seriously. Okay, how much do the bombshells get to watch
Starting point is 00:13:47 before you go in? Like, were you aware of who was coupled up with who at that point? So I was able to watch like a clip of some scenes, but not the full just of it. And especially since I got on like early on in the beginning, I think it was like day three for me or day four, I only got to see the beginning
Starting point is 00:14:06 So I didn't really see like how serious certain dynamics were at the time very clueless Okay, you come in who do you immediately have your eye on? Jeremiah with his symmetrical face. Yes such a symmetrical face Like that you really done so do you really yeah, okay. I have a about it like that. He really does. So do you. Oh really? Yes. Okay I have a bad ear here that I'm hiding away. Stop you literally did your hair today. There's a reason why this this side is always getting the side that's pretty. That's why we put her in this chair today. We didn't switch because we love her left ear not the right ear. Wait I'm dead. Okay so immediately you were attracted to Jeremiah
Starting point is 00:14:46 because his symmetrical face. Yes, I was like, oh, this man is tall, like, you know, very symmetrical, very, he's handsome. I'm fucking dying. Okay, did you feel like you were able at all to like connect with him in that moment because of how kind of serious like Huda and Jeremiah were in the beginning?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah, I mean, it was a very good smooch. And I was like, okay, let me see what happens from here on now. I'm like really down to conversate with him. But we also don't beg. Okay, baby. I'm a jogger, but we don't be chasing for these men out here. So once I like I just wanted to see how the conversations would go. And if it was just going left I would have been like, alright, thank you. Thanks Obsessed your first real then connection was with ace and bitch that did not last fucking long That was like in and out real fucking quick and then now burgers all side Nobody we were in and then out
Starting point is 00:15:43 Dude, it was so quick it was like oh my god why do you think it fell apart so quickly you know boundaries boundaries and babe like okay no but to be fair to be serious it's just like you know that was that's the whole point of the experience the more you conversate with somebody you see if there's a real connection there. And if you and this person, what is the word? Compliment each other? Yeah. Compatible.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, compatible. So it turned out that, girl, we were just not compatible in a romantic way. We were just. No, yeah. It almost felt like not even compatible. It was like he in the beginning I think a lot of people in the internet were like, oh my god
Starting point is 00:16:27 This man is giving like he really doesn't fuck with you and it was all off of you just saying like calling him babe Just babe it really it did it did not fuck with him. Like why do you think that bothered him so much? I mean to be honest with you like like to each their own, everybody has their own boundaries. However, it was just like, that's really part of my lingo. And I know he did ask the question of like, do you usually call your partner's babe or something like that? And I just gradually said yes. I was like, yeah, but like, I guess he thought I was being disrespectful when it's, I'm not
Starting point is 00:17:02 going to change who I am or change the way I speak so like it's really hard to not have a normal conversation with you because now I feel like I have to think about everything I say. Totally you want to be yourself and if it doesn't work for someone you're getting the fuck out. Exactly. Done. Throughout this season I feel like a huge conversation online was Ace was kind of like really criticized for trying to be like the leader of the villa. How did you guys feel in the villa? Like did he feel like this big leader or was that kind of just like portrayed online differently? To be honest with you like Ace just has a very like strong personality and he's the
Starting point is 00:17:39 type of person that if he feels a type of way he would definitely speak up on it. So I think that's what it was more about, like compared to some other people, they were very quiet or more of a follower or like, you know, well, not like a follower essentially, but- I get it, like not as outspoken and like speaking up about certain things that are upsetting him.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Do you think, cause I think like, I even felt this way watching it, like do you think there was any part of Ace that voted out Jeremiah because he kind of saw him as like this threat of like man to man? Like you're I'm kind of competing with this person. Yeah. So I was trying to get like, you know, the tea during the vet up like, wait, what's going on? Like, what's the beef? Like, why is there like a back and forth between him and Jeremiah?
Starting point is 00:18:24 But the guys just personally, from what they said, they felt as if Jeremiah was just using, it wasn't there for the right reason. There was a huge rumor online that Ace and Shelly had secretly been dating before going on the show. We know they met and they acknowledged that, but people were like convinced there was something more outside of the villa. What was your take on that whole thing? To be honest with you, I like, I believed Shadi when she said that her and Ace like definitely like met outside of the club once. But from what it seemed like, it didn't really seem like they really knew much of each other
Starting point is 00:18:59 like before that, I guess it was just that one interaction and probably slotted in the DMs once again that goes down in the DMs, but I don't think they were like, David, David. So it didn't feel like they were playing a game. No. And can you clarify, because I think maybe it was like, Jeremiah or Acer, someone said this unimpressed,
Starting point is 00:19:17 like a bunch of you kind of low-key knew each other from social media, is that fair to say? So it's so funny because I knew of Shadi before going into the VEDA. We worked with the same photographer before so he would always post their content and I'm like oh wait like I would hype her up she's a gorgeous woman. So going into the VEDA keep in mind we me and her have never hung out before was like, are you slimmed in? Like girl, I know you, like we follow each other. So we knew of each other and yeah, it wasn't like. So she was the only person you knew of?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah. Okay, that's good. Okay, there was a lot of speculation. Can you confirm is Ace actually 5'10"? Ah ha. Man, I'm really bad with height. How tall are you? I'm five, three, five, three. So he was taller than you.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yes, he was taller than me. But shorter than Huda? No. Wait, how tall is Huda? Huda's five, two. Wait, she is? Yes. On mine it says Huda is five, nine.
Starting point is 00:20:21 No, she is not. She is nowhere near five, nine. Okay, so maybe he's like five, eight. Five9. No she is not, she is nowhere near Five9. Okay, so maybe he's like Five8. Five8, yeah. Five8. Five8, okay. Okay, coming in as a bombshell obviously can put women on edge. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:37 What was it like? Like was it hard for you to make friends immediately? You know, I would have to say the first couple of days were tough a little bit, you know? Just coming in as a bombshell, like you said, make friends immediately? You know, I would have to say the first couple of days were tough a little bit, you know, just coming in as a bombshell like you said, people could be uneasy with that or sometimes they're already are in a couple. So it's kind of like you're taking away their quote unquote man or boo. So yeah, I remembered like the first couple of nights where I was sleeping. I like cried myself to sleep.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And then somebody in the bedroom was like, is someone crying? And I'm like, no, it's just me allergies, bro. God forbid a girl has allergies. I was like in the bed, like, like, like just crying in bed. And then somebody was like, who is doing that? And I'm like, bro. It's just allergies waking up with my face old puppy because I'm just sensitive like honestly like and
Starting point is 00:21:32 Obviously like after a while didn't feel like that like anymore But especially with the argument between ace and I and how I was probably portrayed It was just like damn damn, man, like, I'll just go to my corner and be my own best friend. Dude, that makes me so sad for you. I wish I could have like hugged you while you're like sniffling. That makes me so sad.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I think a big moment, obviously I know you and Huda are in a good place now, but when you first came into the villa, the tensions were high. And were you surprised at all by her reaction with the Jeremiah thing in you at all? Um, like surprised in a way was like damn like she really has strong feelings for him, you know, like and I like I would always stand up for myself so I I don't think to be like confrontational or anything like that but I definitely will hold my own ground.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But just seeing how serious they were, I was like, damn, like, okay, you could like, that's yours. That's yours. Yeah. We saw her venting about you to the other girl saying, quote, that bitch is fucking messy. Did you know that? No.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So after the challenge and you guys like kissing, she talked to the girls and was like, that bitch is fucking messy. Did she ever say anything to you about your situation with Jeremiah or no? No, not really. I mean, I remember one time we were getting dressed in a dressing room and this was like day two for me.
Starting point is 00:23:01 And the girls were just asking me like, who are you going to talk to? So then I like slowly named the guys and there was like a mic drop moment where I was like, I'm gonna talk to Jeremiah. And then I just like looked at her straight in her face cause she was like, sitting on the floor doing her makeup to like see like,
Starting point is 00:23:19 what she'll say and she was like, you can talk to him, you can explore him. So man, I like messy, maybe we clean up that mess. Where's the broom? The broom was in the corner waiting for me. I think a lot of people thought, like, especially online, cause we're not in the rooms with you, you guys thought like, wow, Huda is intimidating.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Like we saw, there was a moment with Nick where he was like, I'm so intimidated by you. Like when you are in Huda's presence, like is she intimidating? Like, what's the vibe? Girl, she is the funniest girl I have ever met. Like, the nicest girl, very motherly, you know? She is a great mommy.
Starting point is 00:23:53 So she just has that very nurture inside to her. And I know we did start it off in the Rocky place, but girl, sometimes friendships, the great friendships are like like starts from that and Eventually with time it just was clear that we were really misunderstood me in her which made us bond to each other even more like we yeah, you know, like if we just felt like nobody really understood how Steep we are with our feelings. So we just bonded off of that, like going on forward. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Cause I feel like a lot of watching of the Villa, like you can tell there's certain people that gravitate towards each other. And I agree. I felt like you and Huda weren't that close in the beginning, but towards the end, you guys, even if we see like a shot of you guys behind whoever they're like filming,
Starting point is 00:24:39 you guys are together talking, eating together. Like you guys kind of really got together, but I didn't know why. And that makes a lot of sense. Cause you guys had kind talking, eating together. You guys kind of really got together, but I didn't know why and that makes a lot of sense. Cause you guys had kind of similar situations in a way. Okay, we have to talk about another one of the biggest conversations online, was what the fuck went down in the heart rate challenge. Amaya, Amaya, Amaya, everyone is like, did Huda take it too far? None of
Starting point is 00:25:08 us were there. We couldn't see the angle. Do you think she took it too far with Ace? I mean, listen, she, whenever we do challenges, we just really go all in. Like, we don't have a TV. We don't have our phones. This is our entertainment. Like we're like, okay, we're in the amusement park. Let's just go for the ride. So you know, seriously, and listen, one thing about my girl is she's a great dancer. She knows how to when she shakes that booty, it's an earthquake falling through. So you know, I believe that she really just had fun and lost in the moment like lost in the sauce, like she's just having fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's twerking. It's all going down. I definitely don't think like she should have been like attacked or... Because I think a lot of... It's just a challenge. It's just a challenge.
Starting point is 00:25:54 It's just a challenge. It's just a challenge until... Is it not a challenge? What's happening? I think what happened, because you guys don't get to see the edits that we watched, was like she got on top of him and then basically why there was this conspiracy theory was we see her flip around, her ass is in his face, and then the next shot it's cut and she's like getting up. So everyone is convinced that she put her ass in his face. Dude. Can you confirm or deny?
Starting point is 00:26:22 I was, my mouth was to the floor, watching the whole performance. I was, my mouth was to the floor watching the whole performance. I was also mesmerized by the booty. I was like, damn, there's a lot going on. I think she probably, I think it was definitely like a face down ass up, jiggly jiggly. Like. Do you think Shelly was in the right for being upset or was it taken too far? I would have to say I kind of a little like
Starting point is 00:26:45 get Shuddy's point in the way, you know, like, okay, I guess you guys are having the strongest connection currently, but since you guys aren't officially closed off yet, then it's like fear game facts. Okay, I need to know back to when I had asked you earlier, did you guys get to take shots? Is there music playing in this heart rate challenge or is it dead fucking silent? We listened to the same song for like, I think two or three times.
Starting point is 00:27:12 No. Yeah. Wait, can you play it for me? Like sing it. Oh girl, it was Nicki Minaj's Starships. No. Let's shut this down. Okay, wait, at least it's Nicki Minaj. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I thought it was supposed to be fucking elevator music. Oh no, no, no. Oh my God, that would have been so, actually that would have been so funny. I think I would have not been able to take it serious. It's like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, and you're like, shake that ass. Okay, that makes me feel better that it's Nicki Minaj. Like at least that's like kind of a fucking vibe.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Okay, after the heart rate challenge, it felt like a lot of the women's relationships kind of turned in the villa because things got really contentious. Like, yeah, did you feel the change in the villa with the women after that challenge? I definitely did feel like there was tension, especially after the whole hella situation. Like it was really, it was tense for a couple of days. Can I ask, did you feel like the villa was clicky? Were there specific clicks? I feel like we tried our best to interact with everybody, but I definitely would have to say
Starting point is 00:28:16 there's people who gravitated to each other more, just like the way I gravitated to Helen, naturally. Before Huda and who else do you think you were closest with? I would have to say me and Alandria have a great, great friendship. I remember like when the whole babe situation happened, I really did isolate myself. I was spending the whole day like crying and she was really one of the main girls just consoling in me and also making sure that my feelings are validated
Starting point is 00:28:45 and I wasn't being like too much, you know? So I would definitely say her. Yeah, I feel like Alondria like was so good at having really like calm, thoughtful conversations with the girls. And she was kind of sometimes like a grounding force where she would show up for someone even if she wasn't as close with them.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Like obviously she like was ride or die for Shelly and they were best friends, which is beautiful. But like she did put herself out there in moments because when she saw a girl was kind of down bad, AKA you in that moment. Well, 100%. Okay, you came in with Hannah and the other girls ultimately sent her home
Starting point is 00:29:21 during one of the voting sessions. I know you weren't in those conversations because you were also up on the chopping block. Yeah. But why do you think looking back they made that decision? Man, that was a really tough night. And everybody knows like Hannah, my bombshell sister, we both came in together. So it was like, damn, like it was really insane but from their point of view they just wanted they said that she already formed two strong connections before and that she would like get sometimes tunnel vision like with the
Starting point is 00:29:58 guy that she's currently in the couple with and in regards to like not being as open so they said that they wanted to keep me so I could have the opportunity to still possibly find my connection, which thank God I did. And with Iris, they said that they kept Iris because she just started to get to know TJ or something like that. Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Do you, I guess I think- Oh wait, was it TJ or? I think it was Jeremiah. It was one of the guys. One of them, at that Yep, yep. Do you, I guess, I think- Oh wait, was it TJ or? I think it was Jeremiah. It was one of the guys. One of them, at that point, yeah. But like, what do you think about that? Cause I think this season, I think, was the first season that people were kind of being like,
Starting point is 00:30:36 penalized for having strong connections. And then people were like, voting people off that had strong connections, which I thought was the whole point of the show. But then the minute people had strong connections, people were like, okay, well then you're done, get off the island. Like it kind of was confusing.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Like did you guys have conversations more in depth that maybe we didn't see about like the way you guys were gonna approach it? So when it came down to every elimination, like everybody had different standpoints in regards to how they want to go about it. They thought that it relays more on the people who are standing up there and what's going on with that. But they did, we all did discuss that if no one's officially closed off, we should be open.
Starting point is 00:31:27 And if like that's not a conversation that was brought up, they would just, we all just agreed to stay in open until anyone is officially closed off. Okay, so I see. So it's like, if you're not closed off, but you're acting closed off, then what's going on here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Because it's like then closed off So we're like, wow, you guys are in a relationship. This is beautiful But if you're saying you're still open, but you're not actually fucking talking to people then what's the deal? Yeah, that's exactly the whole point Okay, cuz and then it gets messy it gets weird because and then you guys are acting closed off So a girl was to approach the guy that you're currently in a couple with, it will start some whole drama for her. You get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:32:09 I get what you're saying. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Okay, out of the guys in the villa, who would you say was your closest friend? You know, me and Nick didn't really talk to each other at the beginning as much, but towards the end, Nick Olasato really became my brother like he is such my brother like we have you seen the um rumor that he wore a wig the whole season goodbye are you kidding me yo what there is like a shot that is hilarious i need to tell him this this is hilarious There is like a shot. That is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I need to tell him this. This is hilarious. There is like a shot of the girls dressing room and in front of one of the girls, you kind of see this like curly little bundle. And it looks kind of like Nick's head and everyone's like, was that motherfucker putting a wig on this entire fucking season?
Starting point is 00:33:07 I mean, there's no way. There's no, maybe I'm gonna double verify tonight. I'm gonna put like tuck on his hair. Nikki. But no, he just has good curls. Okay, that's so good. Okay, let's talk about your next connection, Austin. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Okay, can you describe your time with him in three words? Man, explosive. I would definitely say ecstatic. And then, sorry, the end, surprising. I fucking love you. Okay, you guys were coupled up right before Casa Amor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Going into Casa, like how much was Austin on your mind once you started exploring things with Zach? So literally before I left to Casa Amor, me and Austin had a slight conversation of him wanting to take things slow and in a slower pace. And babe, we were already moving slow. No like seriously we were already we wouldn't kiss outside of the challenges. We weren't really cuddling with each other. Every conversation we had was very just meaningful. So I'm like moving
Starting point is 00:34:18 slow. Babe we're already in turtle speed like this is gonna be really this is gonna take up like so like I was just confused so with him saying that to me going into Casa Amor I was like yeah I'm definitely going to just be open you know. You get into Casa Amor why do you think Zach ended up choosing you over Alondria at the Casa Re-coupling? So that time, from what he explained to me, he felt like we have more of a romantic connection. And in regards to him being with Olandria, he felt like it was more platonic. So that's what he told me.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Okay, Olandria was given a chance to stay in the villa by recoupling with Nick. How did you feel about the connection? Did you feel like it was genuine? Yeah. Okay, really? Yeah, especially with how they were in the villa prior to that, I feel like they definitely already had
Starting point is 00:35:15 that friendship connection to begin with. So then moving on forward, I noticed him and her had smidges. So I'm like, okay, I definitely love them together as a couple. Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge. Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge. Girl girl girl sensitive gangsta might come out. She's about start crying again. I'm gonna fucking cry for you.
Starting point is 00:35:56 When you walked up to your mailbox, what were you expecting to see on your end? I mean, I just really did. I was hoping that people would just be honest with me prior to that, because there was a lot of things I found out that night about how people felt that never once set as my face. So with me, I'm not like that. I usually just say things to people how I feel.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I don't wait for a challenge to do so, but I was preparing myself for the worst because I felt things rolled out, especially in the first days. Ace, Austin, and Zach all ganged up on you in this moment. And as a viewer, it was like, Amaya, it was so uncomfortable and upsetting to watch, especially just like as a woman, like woman to woman,
Starting point is 00:36:47 I was like, somebody fucking go save this girl. How did it feel in that moment standing up there alone? Oh my God, and plus people were already, not necessarily complaining, but just say I cried too much. So it's like, damn, how can I not cry right now? It was a really, really tough moment for me to be honest with you. Like to just be on that podium and having nobody but myself at that moment. I'm like, you
Starting point is 00:37:13 know what, I just really, it's all my place. I'm going to eat up and digest the food. And guess what? Thank you for spending the time on how it really feels, but it really did, I was blackened out. Like, you know. I can imagine like completely just dissociating in that moment, because you're like, just stand here, try not to cry, try not to cry. Okay, I'm crying, try to hold this together, try to hold together.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Yes. Have you ever experienced anything like that situation in your real life ever? To be honest, no. Cause like once again, like I'm able to walk away and like block someone when I feel like there's a conversation is just leading to something horrible. But at that moment, I really just needed to embrace it and just stand on business, you know?
Starting point is 00:38:00 And on top of that, I had no idea Zach felt that way. And that was the person I was currently in the couple with. So out of everybody, I was like, okay, I need somebody to stand up for me, but it was not him at all. Okay, during the challenge, yes, the guys were basically accusing you of coming on too strong and being too much too soon.
Starting point is 00:38:18 To have three men all be collectively saying that to you, like, why do you think all of them were that triggered by you? I mean, like my father loves to say that a strong, confident woman, especially a woman who's in touch with her emotions, would intimidate the cowards, and people who are not vulnerable and open like that.
Starting point is 00:38:38 So it's just more like, I never understood the coming off to strong part, because I never groped anybody I Swear I was like I started to get so scared of how I felt like move I was walking on eggshells if I looked at somebody for too long It was just like she yeah, bro She wants to get married with me the next day like we never spoke about marriage or kids talk I never groped anybody.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Like they just really started to make me feel like I was just doing too much. Right. So you're like, I'm not even going to make eye contact with you. Right. Like I make eye contact with anybody or like me, my pinky toe touching their pinky toe is sex to them and like, keep in mind guys, we're on love island. We're supposed to be, I thought this was a kiss and date and show And I can't even have my shoulder touch me now, bro It's so facts I was like what is going on?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Like I thought I was I thought I was going crazy I'm like, yeah, did I not know what I signed up for like I know I'm a very open sexual girl I love her smooches, but nobody wanna smooch there, anybody. I will say I lost so much respect for all three of those men in that moment too, because I think there's one moment, yes, to voice your opinion.
Starting point is 00:39:58 But when you start to gang up on someone who is just standing there and getting it from every angle, read the room. Guess what? You're going to be on this island for a long time. You can have this conversation privately, but to publicly try to embarrass you, it just was so inappropriate. Throughout the season, you stood up for other women, but no one stood up for you in that
Starting point is 00:40:20 moment. Yeah. Like honestly, I don't know if it was just more of them loving the conversation just be done and be finished. But yeah, I was just, it was just like me, particularly, especially like me, like at that moment. But I remember when I walked off, Hala and another Islander, I think it was Ciara. yeah, they came and took off from me for a little bit, but no, it was my voice
Starting point is 00:40:50 against three guys, and baby, this voice was loud, okay? What do you wish someone of the girls just would have said? All right, guys, like take it easy, like calm down, just calm down, It was really tough. But I'm telling you, out of this whole experience, my skin is so thicker now, thicker than raw beef, okay? Or it's just burnt beef. This skin is tough now, baby.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Wait, Amaya, if you actually like now thinking back, like why do you think no one stood up for you? Maybe they felt the same way or maybe they were they just didn't want to get involved Probably I think that's what it was. They didn't want to probably get Involved in the crossfire that was happening. But though I was taking the bullet like boom Maybe I was KO. I had a walk away. I was game. Oh, I was taking the bullet like boom maybe I was KO I had a walk away I was game oh I was like what the fuck what the fuck is going on had roles been reversed and you were sitting and one of your girls was up there literally like verbally getting the shit beaten out of her yeah what would you have said oh I would have they would have heard me from across
Starting point is 00:42:04 the room I would have been like, uh, actually, no, I have a question. Like, you're not going to be speaking to anybody like that. I'm supposed to be speaking to one of my girls. Okay, you mentioned, and let's get to it, someone did stand up for you and speak up for you in that moment, Mr. Brian. How did that change the way that you saw him?
Starting point is 00:42:26 I mean, like initially, I always thought he was very cute, very, very handsome, but just hearing his voice, because I thought it was just like arguments and arguments and people just attacking me. And to the point where one moment I put my head down and I wasn't looking up. And then I heard him say, wait, hold on. And I looked up and I was like, my eyes just glowed
Starting point is 00:42:47 and I really did feel like he was my knight in armor that night, like just saving me. And after that, I did a double take baby girl. I was like, what, Brian, you know what? I'm gonna talk to you, come over here. You're like, Brian, I bet if I kind of grazed toes with you, you would be turned on, okay? And you wouldn't think I'm trying to fuck you though.
Starting point is 00:43:07 We could have a nice conversation because you're a grown ass man. Okay, what made you realize after like initial attraction and loving that he stood up for you, what made you realize you wanted to be in a couple with Brian? So after the conversations just kept on being so flowy and I felt like I was being my complete
Starting point is 00:43:25 self around him without feeling tamed and without feeling like my wings are being clipped off. Like it really just felt so natural and I also felt like we had a lot of things in common. We come from the same background so he like really do understands me in a different way, you know? So yeah, it really started off like from that. Okay, how did the night in the hideaway help strengthen your connection, honey? Oh baby girl, it was steamy. All right, we were sweating. Like it really was a great feeling to just have that private and intimate moment because like back in the villa, yes, you're able to have private conversations, but there's still people around and like that's just forced us to really be just us two.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Like, if we didn't want to conversate with each other, we have somebody else to come see what but now it was like, no, we actually do want to talk to each other. Like, we love talking to each other and being next to each other. And the next morning before like heading back, everyone was just sitting down by the jacuzzi with him. And we were just quiet. Like it was beauty in a silence. I really did feel like I found my best friend where I could yap away
Starting point is 00:44:41 or where we're having our quiet moments. It's like one of the best quality times for him. That makes me so happy for you because I relate to you and like I'm a yapper too. I love talking and I could talk forever but when you find someone that you can be so comfortable with that silence isn't awkward and you can just be still in yourself that's a huge sign of like progress in a relationship that you don't have to do the small talk. Yeah. Um, okay. I have to ask, did he end up eating the kitty in the highway? Eat that kitty in the highway. I said, eat that kitty. Well,
Starting point is 00:45:17 he definitely took some of mine. We had a great time. Yeah. Did you feel like your physical chemistry was there? Oh, 100%. Love that for you. Okay, how often, aside from now the hideaway, how often were people actually hooking up and fucking in the main room? Dude, well, I don't know if it's like you guys come on, but we did have a cold word, journey.
Starting point is 00:45:41 And it kind of traumatizes me now. When somebody outside be like, oh, a journey, I'm like, how dare you touching my pearls. But like, if we had a Coney, but people were having journeys, so for sure. And was it at all ever like awkward while you're all trying to go to bed and you're hearing like smacking noises? Like, dude, I'm like, can I sleep? We already don't get enough rest around here.
Starting point is 00:46:09 But you know what, like, as you said, baby girl, as you guys have sound machines or like, like earplugs that earplugs were not plugging. Like, listen, seriously, I was those were low quality earplugs because we weren't so able to like hear things and I'm like dude, okay Especially if there's a couple right next to you Fucking dying one of the biggest major turning points of the season that I think the internet truly felt So I want to hear your take on it was When America voted you as the most genuine and most trustworthy Islander.
Starting point is 00:46:47 As viewers, we felt like we watched everyone almost shift and kind of treat you really differently, Amaya, like after that moment, did you feel the shift? I felt the shift a little bit for sure. I mean, it was just like okay now you want to talk to me? Like you know you're probably clogging me. We didn't have no watches over there but baby I clogged certain T and I was like don't talk to me now I'm okay. School over. Right like I feel like one of the things that was actually infuriating me personally was like seeing Zach literally tell you that he was basically like disturbed that you tried to kiss him Yeah, and then he's trying to climb up on that fucking daybed with you be like, honey
Starting point is 00:47:33 Yeah, I was so confused Somebody find me a map because I'm lost like what the fuck I mean like no, seriously. I was confused He's a grown man He couldn't tell me no he kissed me. We were kissing back in casa more That's why it was like uncomfortable like why? You're strong word you literally came at me at the fire pit during the challenge You're saying how uncomfortable you are around me. You don't want to be with me You don't like me and then America is is like, by the way, motherfuckers,
Starting point is 00:48:05 let us remind you who the fuck is the favorite since none of you know. We put you at number one and everyone, you see Ace's face and he literally is like. Ha ha, ha. And everyone is like, oh my God, Ace and Zach specifically, it was like, let's watch you two try to figure out
Starting point is 00:48:23 how to rearrange this narrative in your head. And let's see, and I was praying to fucking God you saw through Zach's bullshit. Oh, I saw, girl. Okay, good. I don't have 20-20 vision, but I have 20-20 vision at that moment, okay? It was like, dude, why are you trying to talk to me now?
Starting point is 00:48:39 And then also I feel like when the guys were like ranking me, it definitely was just projection. Like they didn't have no, I'm like, name the reason. Like name an example. No examples were being able to made like. That's so interesting. Yeah, it was just projection. You don't need to name names,
Starting point is 00:48:57 but like, did you feel some of the women also kind of be a little bit nicer? Some, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't need to throw shade, but we don't even need you to name it because as viewers, we clocked it. And I was like, Amaya,
Starting point is 00:49:12 you better fucking stand up business now and remember who the fuck you are. But I will say, I think again, why America fell in love with you, Amaya, is because you can tell how genuine you are. The fact that you didn't tell that fucking Zach ass to be like, babe, we're done. Like, I know what game you're playing.
Starting point is 00:49:33 You were still sweet to him. You still even fucking apologized to him. I apologize. I was gonna be like, Amaya. Girl. No, no. No. You apologized to him. Dude. And Ace. I was like, girl, I have to just give you your flowers
Starting point is 00:49:47 for a second, but also remind women, I think sometimes we are the first people to apologize in moments because we want to make situations just feel like let's just appease people and let's make it easy and let's not make it awkward. But it's like, why did you speak to both of them that way? Because they were disrespectful and pushed you to the point that you then had to go back and defend yourself.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And then you're being the made the one that feels like you have to apologize first. Bitch fucking no. Girl, no, exactly. No, another huge moment. There were so many fucking huge moments. I love how people are like, I don't know about this season. How many big fucking moments?
Starting point is 00:50:24 We can't even get through enough. And I still have so much more to talk to you about. Okay, a huge moment this season was when Sierra abruptly left the villa. Can you talk to me just from your perspective as an Islander, what went down? Dude, literally we all started the morning together and then out of nowhere she did disappear and we all
Starting point is 00:50:47 were just asking where was Ciara like I remember asking I was like do you guys know where Ciara went and then same thing with Nick I was like Nick like where's Ciara we all generally did not know so we did not get the chance to say goodbye we We weren't able to see her pack her bags. It literally just happened in the flash of an eye. It felt like very unreal, like in a way. Like what is going on? Where were you guys when she clearly went and packed her bags?
Starting point is 00:51:16 We were all in the villa. Like we were all, we literally were all just hanging out. You were like outside? Outside. And she was just, she was gone.. Like oh, that's really gone. Now knowing I have to ask like why she left? How do you feel about it? I definitely do think words matter and everyone should be respected, you know.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So like I just hope that like she learns from her consequences, which she is a grown woman, so hopefully moving on forward, it's just like, this should not be repeated. Yeah, okay, we're gonna play a game. Okay, I'm gonna give you a scenario, and you tell me the first islander that comes to mind. Okay, who gave the best advice? Best advice, first islander. I would say only Andrea.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Okay, which Islander crashed out the hardest? Besides myself, Hala. Who was the fakest? Ooh, a fakest. Man, Austin Boston because listen, where did this information come from, Austin? Shit. Which guy was the best kisser ooh Brian whose clothes did you steal the most ah siaras which couple had the most sex in the group room oh my god damn okay wait how about Jeremiah when they were together huh whose elimination made you the saddest? Oh my God, Charlie. Which couple has the best chance of making it
Starting point is 00:52:50 in the outside world besides you and Brian? I would have to say, I would have to say Alandria and Nick. Really? Yeah, yeah. Because Iris and Pepe, I don't know, like nothing against their relationship. I love them together.
Starting point is 00:53:08 But I, Alandria and Nick families spoke about cookouts already and inviting each other over to their household. So I really do think that they're going to be a good couple. Okay, we're gonna play a game. What is the weirdest place you've ever had sex? CVS pharmacy. At the bathroom! In the bathroom, not in public not in public public but it was in the bathroom. What was going on? We made sure that we didn't
Starting point is 00:53:52 touch anything like I touched the wall cuz I needed to stabilize myself but we made sure that it was clean okay literally we went, we went to CVS, I needed to buy some candy, and then we had one smooch, and then he was like, do you wanna go to the bathroom? I'm like, okay. I guess it was exciting, it made him more excited. A CVS buck, we love that. Santa Claus, please bring me Christmas presents,
Starting point is 00:54:21 I promise I wasn't that gnarly. Okay, what is the most unhinged thing you have ever done after a breakup? Unhinged means like- Like you went a little crazy. Dude, ah, fuck. There's a lot of moments. Let me think, brain loading.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Oh, I think I called my ex-boyfriend's mom and I'm like how dare you raise a son like this that's so good when you call the mom you know I usually always get my like boyfriends at the times like mom's phone number but yeah I'm like wait no mama no, mama, sit down. We have to have a talk, okay? What in the world? How, where went wrong? Was there any like childhood like situation
Starting point is 00:55:14 that made him like this? Like, what is it? That's so real. Put it on the mother. It's now your problem to take your fucking son, your bitch ass son back. I'm done with his ass. Okay, what is the craziest thing someone's ever asked you to do in bed?
Starting point is 00:55:29 In bed? Um, to suck their toes. Like, ew, guys, sorry, but ew, I'm never sucking them ass toes. Like, what? First of all, they don't even have that much good of a self care usually. And now you want me to suck your toes? Like, are they even washed? And like guys, let me tell you, let me show you this moment. I went to Miami like two years ago and I was on a jet ski with someone and I looked down and he had the longest pinky toenail ever. I swear on my baby sisters, I got scared. I was like, I don't know if he used that as a weapon. If somebody's coming to attack him,
Starting point is 00:56:10 I'll just slice somebody with the pinkie toenail. But girl, it was long and strong. And ever since then, I kind of do have a little bit of an egg when it comes down to guys. We were you hooking up with this man on the jet ski? We were just on the jet ski riding and we were supposed to hook up. But when I tell you, I was like, I was like, girl, bring me back to shore right now.
Starting point is 00:56:30 This is not okay. How the fuck you fit your feet in the sneakers? Seriously, with that long toenail, it was like this. I had so much questions. Wait, Amaya, when someone asked you to suck their toes, what did you say to them? Oh, hell no. I'm like, don't ruin the moment right now, my love.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Like, everything's going smooth, like better, and now you're gonna come here with the kitchen knife and just slice me up like, hello, calm down. Calm, relax, my guy. What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done during a night of drinking? Dude, oh my god. Guys this was when I was like 21, too much margaritas, just started drinking. Your girls started freestyling, rapping on a date.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And keep in mind- Wait, wait, wait, what? Signing rapping on a date and keep in mind What I started to freestyle rap on a date on our way back home and it was a one-hour car ride So it's not like I just did one thing I was just yapping talking to myself and then at first I thought he liked it But then then I go on Twitter and I seen that one He blocked me on Twitter from seeing it sweet and then to my friend sent it to me and they're like, bro, he just shit it on you. He was like, what will you do if a girl wraps a whole entire car ride?
Starting point is 00:57:52 And everybody was like, jump out the window. I'm like, oh, my God. Wait, you have to give me from any recollection. You have a little rap. Give me a little something. OK, so you're like, we're driving, I'm driving. Right. And you're like, hit it. The Margarita says, freedom knife. So it was literally like the Fat Jolene back instrumental.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me it, give me it. It was like, my name is a mic, a little girl with a big dream, never get down on her knees if you know what I mean. Meanwhile, this man is like, I'm about to swerve up the road. I'm about to swerve off. But looking back, it was like, OK, I could definitely see. I could see the fake smiles. Like, ugh, get me out of this car. I also could see it's fun for a couple of minutes.
Starting point is 00:58:35 But an hour? I'm obsessed with you. You're like, let me give you another one. Hold on. Hold on. Listen to this shit. This is amazing. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:42 He's like, can I turn on the radio? You're like, no. I am the radio. I'm obsessed with you. Okay, fuck Mary killed these sex positions. Doggy style, cowgirl and missionary. Okay, Mary missionary because I contact hello all in eyes. Fuck doggy style, you know, exciting. And kill cowgirl.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Baby, my knees be tired. Okay, I don't have the best joints. This is why I do yoga and I stretch it out, but we're trying to improve. Okay, what is your go-to line if you want to start sexting? Ooh, I would just be like, time to get wet. for both me and him.

Starting point is 00:59:44 You fell off you whatever the fuck like a disaster dude So I was having sex um with my one of my ex-boyfriends and he I guess he got too excited that he farted But like the fart was so bad That I almost drew up I tried to act like it was like, okay Obviously, it's natural for humans to pass gas. That's good that you're passing gas bro We're all for it but like we had to stop and move to a whole different room and I'm like, please don't let this fart linger because How to know was so not it. Did he acknowledge it? He was like, yeah It was like like and I'm like what the fuck is that?
Starting point is 01:00:22 I'm sure that that was not me creeping. So it had to come from something else. Why was it one of those like? It was like, it was like a, like that, like literally short, but very impactful. Powerful. You know what's so crazy is like, I feel like that as shitty as it is,
Starting point is 01:00:44 it's like if it's loud, it's literally, it's kind of awkward if it's loud, but if it doesn't smell so crazy is like, I feel like that as shitty as it is, it's like if it's loud, literally, it's kind of awkward if it's loud, but if it doesn't smell, you're like, okay, that was weird, pretend it was a queef, keep it moving. If it reeks. Dude, I don't know what he was eating that day, but boy was it, I survived, baby.
Starting point is 01:01:01 I almost suffocated, okay? I'm a survivor. I'm a gas, fart person and a sex survivor. You're so strong, Amaya. You're so strong. The battles I face. The battles I face. Okay, what is your weirdest turn on?
Starting point is 01:01:19 Weirdest turn on? I like, okay, like you know when you're cuddling with somebody and like you're, I love putting my face in your armpits a little bit Obviously if it smells crazy that I'm going to like be like, oh hell no, but if it's a good smell, you know, like Bobby You're in there. Yeah, I'm in there. Okay. Have you ever had a threesome? No Would you ever? Yeah, I No. Would you ever? Yes. I would, but not now.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Not now. I feel like that's more for like 30s, like when like the sex is like, to keep things exciting, you know? 30s, we're gonna save it for the 30s. 30s, yeah. Love that for you. Okay, Amaya, what is your best skill in the bedroom?
Starting point is 01:02:04 Ooh, man. Listen, there's a reason why my jaws snatched, okay? Your girl, ha ha, be stretching the jaw out. And I'm proud, I'm proud. Not everybody gets to see the skill. So like, if you're able to see the skill, Brian, ha ha ha. Girl, I'm proud of you. I am so proud of you.
Starting point is 01:02:28 How do you think your life is going to be different now after Love Island? Like, are you gonna lean into the fame? Like what are you thinking? I definitely do wanna engage with my supporters as much as possible. Like I just wanna talk to them and know that like my papaya would never change. You got what I'm saying? And I really do want to leave to them and know that my papaya will never change.
Starting point is 01:02:45 You know what I'm saying? And I really do want to leave a positive impact on women to know to never settle and to never change who they are. So as long as I keep on sending that message out, whether it's like my mini get ready with me sort of vlogs, then for sure. But you know, a goal of mine, like I said earlier, is definitely to get my PhD. So maybe next year your girl will be returning back to school. And for anybody who would want to follow me on that journey, it's more than like I'm open.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Okay, you and Brian, obviously we saw you guys, you won Love Island, but now what do you think this looks like in the real world? Guys, I'm so, so, so excited to be in the real world with him without mics up. And I could just talk to him whenever. And I'm waiting for our truffle pasta date. And I can't wait to meet his family. I know I met some of his family, his papa bear.
Starting point is 01:03:37 But I need to meet mommy officially. He needs to come. We're going to be cooking together. There's just so much things that we have planned for us. And I'm just happy to be in this moment with him, you know? Have you guys talked about long distance? Yes. Like what are you guys thinking?
Starting point is 01:03:53 Yeah, so we're definitely going to be taking turns seeing each other. And Boston is not far away from me. I actually have cousins and friends out there. So Boston, your girl's coming. I'm obsessed. You and Brian made history by being the first Hispanic couple to win Love Island. Wow.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Congratulations. Thank you. What does that mean to you? Man, it's really, really huge because I'm the first generation to be here in America. First generational nurse. First time for like my parents literally came from Dominican Republic and like didn't have the best like upbringing.
Starting point is 01:04:30 So Latino culture to me is very, very huge. So, I mean, it's really, I feel blessed and I feel so, I feel so much gratitude, you know? No, I think like for the world and especially right now, this was such an incredible moment in history. Like I think sometimes people obviously can look at Love Island and be like, oh, it's just a dating show. But to see you and Brian up on that stage
Starting point is 01:05:00 and winning in the world that we're in right now, I think it just, it's probably what a lot of people needed. And for you to be that person, to give people that hope and that strength, like it's truly beautiful and incredible, Maya. Seriously. Oh my gosh, like hearing this from you is really huge. So thank you so much. Of course.
Starting point is 01:05:19 And we feel so supported and so loved. And I'm glad that I was able to, well, me and Brian were able to be a part of this. Can I ask you about, just quickly, I know we don't have that much time, but like mental health, I think sometimes people look at people on shows and we're all obsessed. We're like, we don't like this couple and we like this person. We don't like that person.
Starting point is 01:05:41 But can you just kind of talk to me a little bit about what in maybe not as fun moments in the villa, like what did mental health look like in the villa and like struggles and just like how did people get through when things were dark? Just to like understand for people watching, like this isn't all just fun and games, like we're real people.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Yeah, like literally we're real people, we have feelings. And I think sometimes like people forget how intense things could be in there like when you don't have any interaction with the outside world you're not able to call your mom and dad and talk to them like we're literally just there. But when we have doctors like on like set like psych doctors so whenever we are really are having a bad bad moment or we feel like the world sad like psych like psych doctors so whenever we are really are having a bad bad moment or we feel like the world is like crashing down due to
Starting point is 01:06:30 the intensity of emotions we're able to take a break and talk to the doctors if needed to be and everybody has their own way with navigating how they deal with their feelings but one for me was just is one, loving it out, and two, just going on a dog and feeling that fresh air and like just embracing mother nature. I'm gonna do a couple rapid fire last minute questions and then we're ending. Okay, what is your take on BDSM? Oh baby, we love that.

Starting point is 01:07:26 Like seriously, I, sometimes when I'm underwater and my eyes are closed, I have like this big imagination of a shark coming to get me. I don't know why. So do you go in the ocean a lot? Well, from me and beyond. Yeah, that's it. What is your weirdest reoccurring dream?
Starting point is 01:07:44 Oh my gosh, I would have to say getting chased by naked people. No, seriously, like that's one of my ninth terrors. Have you ever watched the movie Hereditary?
