Tonight! Tonight! No, I'm just kidding. It's just Will. I'm circling back. But we're the Love Island Boys. Next to me, Love Island boy number one, Dave. Oh, hello, Will. I've decided this would be my presentation, boys, for Love Island UK season 10. It won't be if you're new here.

Hi. Looking forward to it. This is my second season I've watched, and let me just say, enjoying myself. Dylan Chivry, Love Island boy number two right now. My Love Island boy. Nope. Who had the worst intro? You tell me. enjoying myself dylan chivry love island boy number two right now my love island boy nope who had the worst intro you tell me so i was i was a bit um i don't want to say down i was i was wanting more from the people of love island uk season 10 the first few episodes like what specific and i'm happy to report um personality wise okay trauma wise okay i'm happy to report personality-wise, drama-wise.

I'm happy to report that they picked it up. Yeah, I'm going to say what I say before every single season heats up. Don't get frustrated with me. The first three episodes, first week, nothing happens. It's the same as the last week of every season. It doesn't matter. It's not why we're here. You can usually identify a real character or two.

And it just took a while for them to show up. But they have, and I'm happy about it. And I think it a while for them to show up, but they have, and I'm happy about it. And I think it's going to be a good season. Will. Y'all think that we're just going to turn on the first episode and get like drama

that we're invested in. That's just not how it works, boys. Don't yell at me. I'm not. I'm talking straight to one person, Dave. It's you. How many seasons

of Love Island have you completed, Dylan? I'm trying to build our resume up for any new listeners here. I've completed, if we're going to include Australia, I'm going to say about five seasons total, maybe six. No, I'll say five. That sounds safe. Yeah.

I don't even know how many I've done at this point, to be honest. I've done at least... Maybe six. I've done at least eight with Australia in. I might have done at least 11. i've done at least eight with australia in i might have done at least 11 i'm not really sure i have watched several several seasons of love island yeah you're uk's the goat though uk's the goat it is and we're americans and yeah well uk my take on love island usa and i'm sorry to anyone that has been uh you Island USA. But Love Island USA does not have the clout to get cool people yet. They're still just getting people that want to be reality TV famous,

and you don't want that. You want people that are above that. Yeah. It's just not. USA is not good yet. I'm willing to give it a shot. It's like, you know how the office became so popular, they started doing it in every country?

They had their own version? Those other versions are like the US ones. There's the British one, the American one, they're both good. Then it's like, stop. It's probably not a great analogy. No, it's a good analogy. How many of the other foreign language offices

have you watched? I didn't know this was part of your game. None, but I've seen many of the other you know foreign language offices have you like watched i didn't know this was part of your game none but i've seen pictures of the characters that portray the uh the ones we're familiar with and it's like you're you're a bootleg dwight no one cares to be honest well they probably care people in that country yeah i don't know okay you just sound like such an imperialist right now. You want these hands? No, not really. Some people are probably sitting there and they're like, why is this not beyond the paywall on patreon.com slash circling back podcast? And simply put, I think I can speak for everybody when I say we don't totally have our shit together for this season of Love Island. We've kind of all been on different schedules. We've all been on different

watching schedules because it came out a week earlier than what we thought. People are on vacation. So we're just doing it free. This one's going to cost you free 99. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy. And you know what?

Whole squad eats. If you're a baddie, we might even just Venmo you some money. Because you know we're on our page here. If you bad, bad, let us know. We'll Venmo you. Yeah, we will. Yep. Yeah, we're going to do it on a budget, though, like we said.

But you'll get a little taste yeah weird start to the season boys bring it in because they brought in two girls and they brought in one boy and it was like wait wait that's not how we usually do it they always have a little wrinkle a little something diff yeah something i like about this show i like that it's not uh formulaic as formulaic as some. I'm so glad we're retired on The Bachelor or Bachelorette. They will adapt. They will add new stuff.

Caso Moore wasn't around for the first few seasons. You guys showed me a clip, an episode from the Tommy Fury season. I did. Season five. Season five. And boy, was I surprised to see how openly they were drinking and they seemed a little bit more inebriated and the the the the cups and the glasses that they were drinking out of you could see what they were drinking whereas it's very in that particular clip i thought i saw i thought they had their classic white cups. No, Dave's right.

Okay. They had just regular wine glasses on a few earlier seasons. Yeah, and I don't know what kicked off the effort to kind of cut back on the drunk contestants. I don't know if they ever got sloppy or not, but no, no one's gotten sloppy. They don't let you drink enough to get sloppy. There were some people here I got on slop watch who i could see getting sloppy we'll get to that later should we just go through all right so we should say before we get too deep into this you're on slop uh we are only going through can i explain can i like say something yeah i'm just

so we don't spoil this for anybody we're only going through episode seven several of us have watched beyond episode seven so if we say things that might allude to stuff on accident, it's truly not intentional. We're trying to only go through episode seven, which is when the two new bombshells come in. Two new bombshells. Leah and Charlotte.

Right? We're only going up until they come in, so we're not going to talk about them. Kind of a spoiler. We're not going to talk about them. Kind of a spoiler. Oh, we're not going to talk about that. I don't think we were talking about them. Okay. Um,

so yeah, so just, if Dylan starts talking, just press the 10 button forward until he's done talking and you won't have to worry about spoilers since Dylan doesn't care. And also their pay pig material. Just said a couple of names. It's fine.

I know, but you, you like to spoil things. I do. I really enjoy spoiling things. It's true. Let's start breaking down this cast, shall we? Should we just do it couple by couple who started with who?

I think that's a good idea. Okay, the first couple we have is Tyreek and Ella. Tyreek passed the test for me. He was the first one I started to take to, and it was because I could see that his head is built on a swivel, and he's ready to turn his head at any given moment. He's a handsome, smooth-talking ladies' man. And, yeah, he's there to do some work.

I knew immediately when this guy started talking that he was a certified player. Yeah. Yeah, he is. I love this dude but he's he's smooth man he's got a way with the ladies you can tell he's from essex essex i get bad boy but i don't know i know nothing about essex but i get bad boy vibes from that town is that where the dude in white lotus season two is from anyway that's fine different show it's outside the scope of this one i don't remember we probably shouldn't talk about a different show very cool is that maybe we could all have fun ella a looker herself um just seems really unhappy with throughout a lot of this ella has um some of the most aggressive rbf i've ever seen yes i'm new here what's rbf resting bitch face oh like she's she just doesn't

seem she doesn't seem happy with anything that's going on and i know she's like she's with tyreek so like that's tough in itself yeah that's going to be tough because he's a player uh but like she just has no part of her that looks like she's happy in any situation and then she's like saying she's not going to put up with this stuff from tyreek like if he's not going to be all in she's not going to deal with it well she's you're just dealing with it all the time yeah like i don't know what to tell you aggressive rbf just looks really unhappy with everything that's going on um hopefully it turns around for her we'll see she's got to remember it's early days you know facts it is it's it is early days we also have molly she's an actress i can't do daba day uh in mitchell theater you're a liar you're an actress molly is exactly what i thought molly was going to be which was a somewhat dramatic uh

actress who uh is just kind of trying to play the part rather than, I don't know, just exist in the villa? Is that a mean take? What do you mean by that? I just don't think she's very genuine as of right now. From what I've seen from her up to this point, I don't find her to be super genuine at this point. I think she's trying to please everybody while also just kind of screwing over people. I go back and forth with her. I'm going to disagree with you.

Are you team Molly? No, I think she's genuine, almost to a fault in that she's like selfishly genuine. I mean, she's like, she is open to getting to know more than just Mitchell. And I think sometimes she even takes that

to the extreme, to the detriment of her relationship with Mitchell. I will leave this lie because there are things that have happened after episode seven that kind of make me think she's annoying as fuck. And I can't, I don't want to go down that road. But I just, whenever I see musical theater,

no offense to any musical theater people out there, we stand women in STEM as well as musical theater normally. Sure, sure. I just think, okay, this person might be a little extra. They might be doing a little much sometimes. She is currently the bell of the ball. She's getting a lot of attention from the lads. She allegedly got a bunch of contract offers for modeling, and apparently she got more

contract offers than any other contestant in the history of love island i don't know how true that is because it doesn't seem it doesn't seem totally right especially given how early days dave that it is but it's early days i'm still snogging molly i mean malls look if she gives me that handle i might send her a little little bit but i don't know if i'm breaking the bank for malls. You're not going to give it the full stack? Oh, man. I mean, I might slide her a 10. Mitchell. I'm afraid to say too much about Mitchell

since we're only talking about week one. Although my perception of the young man has been dramatically changed. He starts to blow up within these first seven episodes. He really starts wobbling he's just a puppy dog man he latched on to molly and he doesn't understand that like hey dude you kind of have one of the the better looking girls on this entire cast and she's probably going to be a target for a lot of these dudes my guy i hate to use the the phrase emotional intelligence

because i feel like people who use it like really snooty no no what you're about what you're about to do is good but he is the the most unemotionally unintelligent person i think i've ever seen on this show he's just an absolute dumbass and about the the emotional maturity of uh like a 14 year old i i received several dms about people who are getting into love island so apparently the brand is strong and people just come to me now, which I appreciate. But people were saying like, is Mitchell the worst person ever in Love Island history? And I was like, well, hold on, what's going on? I've only seen a couple episodes. And then I got through about seven episodes and I was like, ooh, I can see how this... I almost just made a... He's making decisions and making moves and saying...

Making ship ship reference. I didn't mean to do that. Saying things and contradicting himself in ways that make me cringe so, so hard for the guy. Dude, he zigs when everyone else zags, and then they start zagging, and he just keeps zigging. He's just a total dumbass. But it seems nice. I liked him coming out of the gate, too. Good-looking dude.

We'll get to how he played his hand. Or didn't play it. And he's one of the older, too. Good looking, dude. We'll get to how he played his hand. Or didn't play it. And he's one of the older guys on the show. 26. He's too old to be tripping like that, man. Jess and Sammy. Sammy, of course, a bombshell. No.

This is with George at this point, Dave. Yep. Jess and George. Oh, I'm looking at a different graphic. So we have Jess and George. Jess, I'm looking at a different graphic. So we have Jess and George. Jess from London, 22. George, 24. Bedford.

I'm all in on this George dude. I'm really excited to see where he goes this season. This dude, man. Look, I don't intend to body shame because that's not what we do. Okay. I'm really excited to see how you don't body shame right now based on what you're about to say. Can you pick up one weight? How long have you known that you're going to be on Love Island?

You can't spend five minutes in a gym. Pick up a weight, put it down. Five minutes is just not going to do it. I know, but he's done – like he's just been loafing it. You know what? Like he's just been loafing it. You know what? You're going to be shirtless on television for maybe a couple months.

I'm going to tell you something. There's a lot of women who prefer a guy who's not muscular. But this is Love Island. You know what I mean? Don't look at me. My body is closest to his body, and I'm not going to sit here fucking shaming the guy for not working out every day. You're 24. This is like physical peak. I described him as having amoeba body, and that's kind of mean.

I understand, but you mean no offense. Just because you're confronting that you're like body shaming and being mean about him doesn't mean that you're not. Right. Okay, just putting it out there. He seems nice. right okay just putting it out there he also he seems nice he he was kind of um he was giving me will vibes from last season and that he was kind of the goofy life of the party not not to will's extent will obviously was much more wild ass i think the producers definitely wanted him to fill the will shoes though from last season that's that's kind of what i gathered they wrecked his

dad jokes like hard and his descriptions of things and whatever. There's not a ton of fun, hilarious dudes yet. Jess, I get major party girl vibes from Jess. Yeah.

I didn't know what to think about Jess when we first saw her. And now that we're episodes deep, I actually that she is very very likable i was worried i wasn't gonna like her i like her too uh i also want to give a major shout out to jess because she clearly she does aesthetics i don't know what that actually entails but i know that it has to do with makeup sounds dope her makeup is always very very good good. Okay. Like, she is, I mean, from, maybe I don't really know that much about makeup, but, like, whenever she puts it on, I'm like, damn, like, she's got her fucking, she's got a steady hand.

Like, I can see her, like, never turning down a shot. Yeah. I can see her straight up being a shot girl at some point. Yeah. Being the girl that's walking around with the shots. Yeah. She's the girl in New Orleans at one of those outdoor bars that like throws a test tube of like some shit that's 12 down your throat that just shoves a jello shot in dylan's mouth and says

eat it i really don't want if she was american she would be uh at old miss at like in the party sorority you know facts yeah i guess i mean yeah tell us more about the sorority i'm glad you agree with me dave rucci and metty uh i would say that from the jump these two never had any chemistry i know i have serious concerns about metty's chemistry with anybody at this some of the worst chemistry i've ever witnessed yeah like i just don't have much on these two if these two were in a scene on the show and then they cut away and they literally never went back to these two it would take me four weeks to realize that they were off the show it you do they do not you don't really like their all-time phone pickup like scenes when they were talking together

I mean I'm checking the Twitter I'm gonna go scroll for a bit. Texting the boys. I just don't know. He seems like a really nice guy. She seems like a really nice girl. They're just there. He doesn't seem to have any aggression in him when it comes to grafting. I need him to graft a little harder. The man seems like he's got

low T. I hate to say it. Dude, that might be true. He has no juice. Yeah, he's got no juice true the the best thing ruchi's got going for is that she's she's in kind of she's always um around the crew that's gossiping and so she's kind of in that like seems like not i'm not saying mean girl crew i'm not willing to say that yet but she's in kind of the controversial crew a little bit but she doesn't add much uh personality wise to the group but she's there she's there i'm having trouble as a part of the conversation i've been having trouble establishing some of the the groups some of the groups that i've been forming Tyreek Zach

yeah and Sammy maybe I think I think it's hard to tell because it's hard

I've been trying to with the Mitchell shit I've been trying to figure out who likes Mitchell do these guys even like him and he does have some people backing him well he and zach were apparently friends

at some point which i never really saw and like when they started hashing stuff up it was like are you guys were you guys ever friends yeah they're not that tight anymore i can't remember where the cutoff was week to week it's close no it was if you're on episode seven you see it you see the writing on the wall i know that no episode No, episode six, I think, they had a talk. And it was like, yeah, I just don't want to lose our friendship. I still want to be bros. That's episode six? I believe so.

They didn't have any friendship. No. I never saw them interact or seem like they like each other at all. Yeah, Zach. We'll talk about Zach here in a sec. Doesn't really have much personality. Mitchell's like, oh, you can you can go talk to what's your name again molly yeah go talk to molly it's whatever yeah and then he goes and

talks to molly and then mitchell's like hey man what the fuck hey it's like uh what you just said it was cool and then they have a big yeah dave he had some of the yeah big thumbs down yeah yeah mitchell is such an idiot. I hate Mitchell right now, dude. I love to hate him though, dude. Keep him around. Keep this idiot around. He's emotionally just so fragile.

Like anything's going to just throw him off his game. The producers need to throw him a bone sooner than later because I'm worried he's going to get so down bad that he just straight up leaves. He gets so down bad that Molly's like, hey, by the way, I know I'm talking to this other guy, but i'm still like really into you in fact i think i'm probably more into you than i am to him and he still can't handle he can't handle that he's talking she's talking to zach this is like this is kind of like when uh what's his face went on the bachelor and

didn't realize like that when you go to fantasy suites that like people sleep with each other once in a while and it's like no i can't do's like, dude, you know the situation you brought yourself into. You can't get mad at the format. This is how it works. Those are people who didn't expect to be there throughout the entirety of the season. Like, oh, shit, now I got to do Fantasy Suite. And they just can't handle the pressure.

It's weird. Luke P. Yeah. Luke P. That's a name. If you sleep with someone, then we're done, is what he said basically katherine andre andre i need a i need a little more um kind of the same as metty for me right

now i need to see a little more grafted out of this man he's a smooth talking son of a gun he's young he's young and yeah i think he's just trying he's just trying to fit in right now i i really like him i'm worried about him because of the young thing. That's how I feel. I like both Mehdi and Dre, but I worry about them because I don't know if they're enough. I don't know if they have enough juice.

I have Andre on simping ain't easy watch. The dude is propensity to be quite the simp and he will latch on to any attention that he gets. That's a good point. I like that. I'm a big Catherine fan, and we'll get to this, but basically kind of how she handles the Zach situation, the Zach and Molly stuff that we'll get to.

I like Catherine. She doesn't get pushed around. She seems steady to me. Yeah. I think we'll see a decent amount of katherine moving forward i do like i think she's a a valuable personality to the whole dynamic of the group one of my favorite uh women on the show is whitney yeah entrepreneur london she has a wig company she's the personality of the show right she was hilarious she was in her first date i was loving her i was like okay you're having fun i i i i don't think she has found her match as of right

now i think that will happen but uh i i think whitney's here to stay and i'm okay with that she was and she was originally coupled up with zach who did they come in together no no remember she she hit the scene with her first date with Andre on the beach. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got to give her a shout out because she immediately told Andre after their date, like,

I think you're too young. It's not going to work. I was a little worried about Whitney's personality meshing with the rest of the group. I thought she was going to be a little too much for everyone. Andre walks up, says hi, and she's like, she was laying down. She's like, I'm not going to get up. You're going to come down to me. She seemed like a little bit much.

She's completely won me over since my initial perception of her. She's funny. She's definitely funny. Yeah, I like her a lot. And here's a guy. I got to say, this is the bad boy of the season thus far. It's the Z-Man. Zachariah.

I worry that I like Zach more than you guys like Zach. I don't really see it with Zach. He reminds me of someone that I know, and he also is kind of boring. He's so boring. He just looks like Kevin Love out there. Dude, he's got game. Just looking for it in the post. He's got game in the post he's got game he's just as he doesn't have he's not funny he's just he's just a nice smooth talking big guy he's objectively handsome maybe that's all it takes do you know where he

you know where he makes his money not playing basketball market eye contact oh yeah when he when he's into a girl he just stares at. And he just locks in with them and never breaks. And any girl he's talked to, they've commented on it. Like, oh my God, it's eye contact. How far does that take you, though? Dude, apparently pretty far. But I don't think it hurts either that he's really tall. He's not really tall.

How tall is he? Sammy stood next to him. Sammy's taller than he is. He says he's 6'5". He doesn't feel 6'5 to me five to me that's pretty tall just gotta let you know that is tall i don't think he's six five though is what i'm saying he's shorter than he's a semi-profesh baller we gotta look that up that means he doesn't get paid to play basketball right um it means he doesn't get paid that much yeah especially if it's over i don't we don't know the rules over there you know he does pick up games at Lifetime.

Is that what he does? If you're semi-pro, you'd have to get paid, right? Because you're pro. Semi. If you were amateur, then you wouldn't be getting paid, right? I understand the terminology here. I'm just saying, I don't think he's cashing big jacks. But hey, good for him. I mean, he's the Molly of the guys.

He's getting the attention for the guys that Molly's getting the attention on for the guys that molly's getting for the girls and then we have sammy not not the swedish bitch you'll ever meet but sammy from kent he manages projects because he's a project manager i can't i can't get off his his butt cut that he has he's got the middle part and it's just split it bothers me it looks like he's wearing a wig yeah it bothers me i i would love i would love for someone to give him a new haircut yeah he also doesn't move his mouth when he talks kind of bothers me he's kind of he he kind of gives me like male bimbo vibes but i'm okay with it he had a really cringe moment when he was um i think it was his first full day on love island and he was sitting there he was talking he

was talking to molly chatting her up flirting with her and he gets out his phone to take a selfie with her and he's like he takes a couple pics and it's fine harmless enough and he goes he goes hey kiss me on the cheek and she was like i'm not gonna do that in front of everyone he goes okay and he tried to like talk her into it again she's like i'm not gonna kiss you on the cheek i completely missed that and then so he did it to her it was just uncomfortable like don't who was he talking to molly like don't force someone to kiss you on the cheek for a picture that's just creepy where's my hug yeah oh god uh i don't know if you guys were peaky blinders guys but there's a character that he reminds me of billy kimber uh that's him on the left. It's going down. That's what his hair does.

I mean, dude. Billy Kimber. If he would side part it, he'd jump up two points in my book. Yeah, he just needs to not have it do what it's currently doing. I don't think he needs a lot of edits on this hair, but there's something weird about the way that it falls. He's a good-looking guy. He's an overly manicured beard guy too, which you know how I feel about that.

Beard's too manicured. But he is a handsome dude. Yeah, but I think if you told him, like, dude, guy he's overly manicured a beard guy too which you know manicured but he is a handsome dude yeah but i don't i think he i think if you told him like dude your beard is so manicured i think he'd be happy about that i think that's what he's going he doesn't have the vibe of a guy who could grow out like like a little bit of neck scruff with the beard he's not he that's his thing like if you look at like his build he's muscular but not like he doesn't he clearly doesn't lift a lot of heavy weights he's just he's very chiseled and like male model-y manicured shaped eyebrows uh it's a thing in in the uk clearly so many guys have them it's it throws me off but apparently it's so accepted

over there it's like whatever this is a you know this is just a question about love island in general do you think it's actually a thing over there, or do you think it's more of a thing just because we're watching people on Love Island that are completely done up and have the expectation of being like that? I mean, I'm looking at these. Honest question. I don't know.

I don't know. I'm looking at these, and it looks like Mitchell does. George clearly does it, and obviously Sammy does. I think they pretty much all do it. There's pretty boys. They got that pretty boy swag. He's going to have to have some upkeep throughout the season if he sticks around on those eyebrows.

They get their off day. One day a week. They get their off day, dude. Off campus. How dope would it be if it was just like a straight-up spa day? Then they can do what they want. There's probably pretty big fun. Well, I mean, Dave, pretty much every day is like a spa day for them.

They kind of just sit at pools and like chill but rarely get in by the way we mentioned earlier seasons of this show yeah hot tub man there's no hot tub anymore they don't always have a hot tub they used to yeah i watched an old one they had hot tub i think the hot tub is really hard on uh audio hard on they're famously very sexy environments. I know, but I think just from a production standpoint, if things are going down in the hot tub and you got those bubbles going, that's not easy to edit unless you got a Timo on your side. Turn those bubs

off. You think they were trying to just take the horniness down just a notch? Is that a Timo reference? Yeah, dude. Great. Not Timon. Different Timo. Yeah. Do you guys follow Timon by the way yeah i started following timon full time and i have to say like well while his content i don't think i'm like the exact audience for his content all the time dude i actually agree with a lot of stuff he says man

like he's a good dude he's deep man it just resonates especially while he's like hitting tries yeah on you about it i just like that he doesn't go out and party on the weekends yeah even if there's a crazy event that's fact oh uh who else do we have in this villa who we have not already talked about because i know we've got ronnie she was 42 shout out to the graphic our graphic guy zipliner yeah liner. Yeah, shout out Blakey Locks. Blakey Locks. B-L-A-K-E-Y-L-O-C-K-S. Oh, I know who we didn't mention.

bone when she walks out like everyone in there like has like the cartoon eyes bulge tongue roll out she gives me her her venmo handle she's gonna drain me financially if she if she walks by us i'm just gonna start snorting she's getting the uh she's getting the uh the slams laptop treatment i hope she if you get the maya jama repost i will buy you what if i get the follow dude i'll buy you what if i get the follow back from maya jama then i'll start to resent you that's huge dog dude i might i might dm her and be like yo so what if i put you in this slideshow girl oh my goodness. Oh, my.

I'm afraid to talk more about the show because I don't know if it's beyond what we're up to the point of talking. In terms of immediate chemistry, Ella and Tyreek hit it off immediately, and they like each other. Mitchell and Molly had immediate chemistry. Mitchell fell in love with Molly is what you mean, and Molly just likes him. No, but yeah, but they had immediate chemistry. Yeah, they did. Okay. Jess and Sammy are kind of, I don't know i don't know are they are they actually into each other are they more just trying to force it so they stay on the show what's going on here i gotta just comment it seems way too early in the season like five days in when this happened

where people are like actively rooting for someone to come in for jess because like man she deserves it bro like dude you this is like night full yeah dude this is a long week it's the end of a long weekend for you right now like just slow down a bit it's monday memorial day and you're out here acting like you deserve something we got ruchi and andre i get friendship vibes well he he pretty much like shut her down real quick. Yeah. Yeah, he's got his eyes looking elsewhere. Catherine and Zach, I mean, his eyes wandering, and she was just like, nah, not doing that. Yeah.

I respected that. I like the way she... I mean, she's Irish like us, Dave. We're county cork boys. She out here from Dublin. Dylan's out here, doesn't even know dylan's out here doesn't even know where he's from that's so rude man man of mystery the horse so rude plus 97 western european really yeah swag dude yeah that's pretty high percentage man that's so tight i think i'm black

irish though i told you that really yeah it's tight i think it's cool yeah word you get a comment no i don't know enough about yeah good the black irish too yeah look it up we looked it up and i think you could be right yeah i think so do you guys believe whitney and meddy no i don't see much of a spark there at all he doesn't have the personality for her she needs a guy that's going to absolutely pursue, pursue, pursue, and he's being a little too hands-off. He is smooth. How are you going to get a date?

No, I'm going too far. Don't go too far, dog. Sorry. You know what I was going to say, though? I don't remember. Talking about a snog. What did we the uh the first outlandish game of the uh of the season banker banker was one of the most cheesy games i've ever seen unveiled on this show the way that they were uh the the one-liners that they were fed before they stripped off their clothes

were all-time bad. They gave Mitchell just one of the worst, and he had just no charisma. They're really bad. Oh, Mitchell completely bricked it. He bricked it, and they put him in those shorts, and it's just – I mean, it's like, all right, that's their penis size. Mitchell is the kind of guy who's just gotten by in his looks throughout his entire 26 years,

and he thinks they're just going to keep carrying him, and they're not. He's got to have something else. He is a good-looking guy, though. He is handsome. If he had an average personality, I think he could do very, very well on this show. If he had an ounce of charisma. No charisma. No riz.

This is where the snog heard around the world happened. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We had the tension. We had the Molly, Zach, Mitch triangle. What's going on? Mitch got her. He's like, I thought she was closed off for me.

We're three nights in or whatever. Why would you think that, you dumb dumb? I don't know. Maybe they didn't show something. But she seemed to not be in the wrong here anyway um molly who in this event is standing next to katherine who is paired up coupled up with zach um zach comes out does his little strip tease yes and he says hey you know what i'm not gonna dance with the one who uh who brung all right? I'm snogging Molly, not flogging Molly. This would start a series of events.

Slogging Molly. It didn't go over well. No, no. Mitchell, of course, tried to pretend like he was unbothered. Rattled. He really did. But he was clearly rattled. Come on,led. He really did. Rattled. He was clearly rattled. Come on, dude.

Catherine didn't even try to hide it. She was pretty upset about it. Yeah. Not even sad, just more like, you disrespected me. Mitchell pretended to be so confident that it wasn't going to affect

his standing with Molly. Nah. He just hit her with a... Right. Thumbs down if you can't see. Is that about where where this ends the far we're gonna go i think it's about there i think it's about there um i will say i'm gonna try to be better we we we were a little dragging our feet a little bit coming into this season when

it came to this so i'm sure we'll be a little more concise when it comes to the timeline of everything as we move forward throughout this season. We do have two new bombshells that have entered the villa at the end of this episode, or at least we are aware that they're going to from the preview. And I will say that from what I've seen since they have come in, this season has turned around completely. Like, completely. It gets better. Like, this injection of, like, bombshells has done wonders for the drama surrounding everything. Really getting the blood flowing, if you know what I mean. David.

I'm current on the Hulu schedule, and the last few episodes have been very strong. I think on the Hulu schedule, I'm through episode 11. I could be incorrect, but I believe I'm through episode 11. I don't think we'd be telling tales out of school based on the scope of today's episode if we did touch on the Mitch versus Zach. They did have a minor confrontation. Yeah. I think that happened.

They don't like each other. No. And we mentioned they were like, oh, we don't want this to come between us. We want to be bros. And then after that contest, after Banker, we find out, well, Mitch is not is not happy he's big mad dude actually it's rare that you see the guys in like the bedroom walking by each other at night and just

being like yeah fuck you bitch that's the fuck i had that same yeah like it's that like you don't see that very often it could that's where i was thinking like oh is there ever a physical altercation i've only seen i think one actual altercation on the show really we had shack season one oh really season one australia where hands thrown i think they threw hands i can't really remember though but that was also a really trashy season i mean season one australia like you're it's not not the best yeah um how do we feel about tyreek's um posture the revelation that tyreek has uh i would like to talk about his posture at some point been Not the best. Yeah. How do we feel about Tyreek's... Posture? The revelation that Tyreek has... I would like to talk about his posture at some point.

Been with a number of women. He stopped counting over 100. Yeah, he probably lost count. It's a lot of sex. He's on a trip to Dij. That's a lot of partners. Dude, he ain't even the first trip Dij guy we've seen. That's crazy.

That's tough to explain. He's 24. That's a lot. Yeah, but he's a semi-pro footballer okay dude semi-pro football is cleaned up it's just a lot of sex dog dude he's just out here i'm not doing i want to look i would love to look up like what clubs what basketball teams and football teams these guys play for but i don't want to get spoiled uh i looked up his uh it was called like l-e-w-e-s i don't know anything about apparently his dad is also a famous footballer i don't know

anything about that either because i didn't want to go too deep that's a that's a theme on this show from what i can tell a lot of um i don't think his dad is nearly as famous as the other people that you're thinking of. So you had Tommy Fury, obviously Tyson Fury's cousin. Brother. Brother. Half brother. Come on, Dave.

And then we had Claudia from last season. Yep. And her dad was a race car driver. We had Danny Dyer, whose dad was on EastEnders or something. I don't know what that is even. We had Gemma. Gemma Owen, who was Michael Owen's daughter.

With Luca. Luca Bish. You like Luca? Luca Bish was a bish. Oh, was he? No, I got stunk. He didn't stink stink, but like he was such a simp for her

that I couldn't ride for him. It would be like, dude, come on. She's too good for him. Like if you're playing golf with him he is texting back he's texting with his girlfriend the entire time like no babe like we're actually on hole six they're all saying they're all telling me to tell you that we're on hole three but we're actually on hole seven can we pick up the pace i told jim i'd be home by four o'clock yeah dude oh he was no davide is what you're saying davide don't ever he was the best guy around david david is my rich daddy although i need to go

back and watch david i'd break a stack off for david day i'd let him hit him off break my stack off he's such a hot man what we'll say he would let him break his stack off hey should we should we play our normal game at the end of every episode? Yeah, I think we should. Snog Mary Pie? I think we probably should. I think we should make a rule. I think you should only be able to deploy the Maya Jama card once this season. I don't like it when everyone just rests on snogging Maya Jama. That's soft. I want to snog Maya. That's soft.

Okay. Aw. Okay. Who are you snogging? Who are you snogging who you snogging a dog i mean i'm gonna snog jess because she seems like a lot of fun i'm going to snog molly and it's not because i have a crush on molly i'm snogging molly solely so i can fuck with mitch i just want mitch to get mad at me and i can be with zach and like start talking shit to him and then Zach will be my bodyguard. He'll pretend like, oh, I saw Will kiss Molly.

It's not a big deal. It's okay. She's all about me. But then he'll start just crying into his pillow that night. Dylan, you're going to be in the corner mugging down with Jess. You're going to walk over and be like, oh, she tastes like cigarettes. Yes, and that's not making me want a cigarette. I'm going to snog Ellaog ella ella i just like ella

i get it i like her i think she she um you know i'm not saying i'm the guy who's gonna make her have a better time in the villa you don't think you're the one for ella that's that's a that's a high compliment you're paying yourself right there yeah i'm gonna marry whitney fuck i was gonna marry whitney we can both marry like that no but i'm gonna i was actually no i'm still gonna do it yeah good personality and she seems mature for her age i like it i'm gonna pie mitchell because i'm sick of his shit already he's not built for love island man okay i'm marrying katherine i just think she's the most mature like even though she's only 22 i think she's very mature has a good head on her shoulders thus far

i think she and whitney are very mature together like i like they those those two seem to be a little wiser beyond their years compared to some of the other people on the show. Yeah, and Molly is just too much of a wild card with that musical theater background. I'm not trying to – look. Dude. I have enough singing at the office here with Dylan. I'm not trying to go home and have show tunes busted out. Exactly. Exactly.

I just can't have that in my life. I just can't. I can't be there when she starts over over singing in public when we're doing something just to show everyone like oh no i'm a professional singer or something like we don't need that oh the talent show if she makes it to the talent show there's gonna be awkward singing i'm calling it now i'm putting it on awkward watch you know what's gonna happen the talent shows the night that like everyone bands together and then they just rip them apart the next day i love it the talent shows the night that like everyone bands together and then they just rip them apart the next day i love it everyone needs a talent show like arm and arm like i love you guys so

much in the next day they're just like all right three people going home bye i'm edging so hard because like last season i did i had no idea what they did like i didn't know what the how they went about it what the you know the afterwards where they show them the clips of what happened when they separated now i'm just like fiending for five weeks down the road i don't know if you watched it yet i know you've watched a little past where we've already talked about there's they're going to play a game soon that's designed to uh piss some people off what game is that you want me to answer yeah i do forgot what it's called but it's a game that's like uh two people

have to like get into sex position real real fast oh yeah yeah and then have you seen that one dave they play this they play this after then it's like it's like kiss the person that you want to get to know uh then there's one that's like kiss someone on the cheek if you think they're two-faced like stuff like that and then oh yeah people start moving moving like snakes. That was the live episode. We're moving like snakes, Dan. Yeah. That was a good one. You know, say what you want about Will

last season and how much we got tired of him. We do have a lot of things that we say these days that are Will-isms. Player! Player! Like, we started playing a game on the golf course called Snake where if you three-putt, you have the snake, and you owe

everyone money until someone else three-putts. And I couldn't stop. The entire golf trip I was on, all 72 holes, I kept saying, moving like snakes. Yeah. He just lives rent-free in my head. Let's make sure we bring that out tomorrow. Let's talk, before we go, let's talk very briefly about

Love Island Season 9, where are they now? Kai and Sanam, winners of last season, still together. Oh, good for them. I'm not surprised by them still being together. They seem like a really strong couple. Yeah. I think they won justifiably. Will and Jesse still together.

Oh, yeah. By the way, if you haven't seen this season and you're thinking about going back, don't listen from here on out. Just turn it off. Will and Jesse still together. Play out. He would probably simp for her for the rest of his life so she's boy what a performance she's great oh my god cost

it a more man jesse was all-time bad performance sweetheart status ron and lana i'm not surprised they're still together yeah there's a. There's a connection there for sure. Dave, I know you are a big Tom and Sammy stan. Yeah, they're broken up. Are they? Are there rumors? Did they rekindle? As of today, I saw a rumor.

He's still liking her Instagrams. So Chloe. I follow. Chloe Burrows from a season of seasons past you remember chloe close she was good friends with millie um love millie uh and she made a comment about how they've been seen together lately and so are they really broken up okay okay shack and tanya i am surprised they're still together because she stinks, baby. She stinks. Shaq has his own stinky qualities sometimes, but I overall really did like Shaq.

The fact that he's still with her is a huge red flag for me looking at Shaq. Yeah. Not a Tanya guy at all. She's going to do something. She's going to break his heart in some capacity. She was so emotionally manipulative. And Rosie and Casey broke it up. Didn't they break up before even the reveal?

Yeah, this is it. They didn't even say bye to each other when they left the villa. It was just like, all right. They broke up on the plane on the way back to wherever they lived. They didn't care. Casey didn't really like any girl. I mean, he wanted Sammy, I think. Or was it Lana?

Yeah, he wanted Lana. And once that fell apart, it was just like, whatever. I just want to survive. I think he and Lana would have been a cute couple, I just want to survive. I think he and Lana would have been a cute couple though. They would have. I think they would have been good together.

I simped for Casey for absolutely no reason. It's actually a character flaw of mine, I'd say. I forgot about Rosie. I did too. I did too. Her candle burned out long

before her legend ever will. That's not true. Well, good for them. I'll let you guys guess what there is one contestant on this page right now that i still follow i previously followed two you want to guess those contestants i think you followed tom and sammy correct i think you only follow tom now oh yeah i'm team tom i'll be mad well it just got to be where Sammy like she's she does a lot of posts

as they do and she's just very very she is very good looking sure and it would just be I would open Instagram and it would be that

and I'd be like alright I don't need to yeah the only two I've ever followed from this show are Davide and Ekansu Davide is safe

he's never getting unfollowed Ekansu I could see myself unfollowing's never getting unfollowed. Ekansu, I could see myself unfollowing in the near future. I'm good for an average about two follows per season. And this season I got zero. I didn't follow anybody from this season. I think I followed Tom and Sammy for a little bit, but I unfollowed them very, very quickly. I still follow a lot of people from season five. I follow Millie and chloe i don't follow too many these days though obviously kevin chris the goats goats do we have anything else boys lads don't think so

i'm excited for where this season's headed i think that we are in a good spot overall right now and uh i think that i think the villa's actual stock is going up right now especially after these bombshells enter the villa i'm looking forward to it it's picking And I think the Villa's actual stock is going up right now. Especially after these bombshells entered the Villa. I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited to talk about that. It's picking up already, man. I'm happy. Keep going.

I'm happy. Are we going to try to drop this on Thursdays? I don't know. Hard to say. We haven't figured it out yet. Just pay attention. Go follow us on Circling Back, Pot. Just search Circling Back.
