Starting point is 00:00:31 Them singing endless love. It was giving Michael Scott. My endless loves. Sounds like Marge Simpson. Hey, everyone, welcome back to mention it all. Island Time. We are barreling toward the end of the season, and Chris and I are back to talk about it all like this.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Back again. Oh, what a, what a year it's been. What a year this week has been. It feels like movie night you were saying before was decades ago. Decades ago and so much has happened since then but also kind of nothing.
Starting point is 00:01:09 But kind of like I feel like couples have changed. Sort of. Like well we've lost some people. We've lost some soldiers. My opinions I guess have changed on some people. This is the point in the season where I think Love Island always
Starting point is 00:01:23 kind of struggles after the dust settles from Casa Amor and it feels like too late in the season to really be exploring. They're not bringing in new bombshells. Everybody feels like they kind of are, you know, either stuck with their couple in a negative way or happy with their couple in a positive way. But there just isn't like much left to do. Yeah. It feels like the last day of a group trip. Like when it's been a week, it's Sunday. Everyone just wants to get back to their own beds.
Starting point is 00:01:53 You're like, my flight is until 3 p.m. So I have time to like go to brunch and do an activity. But like, where can I put my suitcase? Why? Why would I do that? You know, that is the vibe. Everyone needs an energy drink. Like, I'm like, can we get a round of an espresso martinis for these people, please? It's like the last day of, the last week of school in like eighth grade when you've already passed middle school.
Starting point is 00:02:17 But graduation isn't until next week, middle school graduation. Yeah. And so it's like, the seventh graders still have classes. So it's like one day we're going to six flags that you have to get a permission slip for. And if you didn't, if you have like behavioral things, you have to stay. behind. One day we're watching like finding Nemo on the TV that gets rolled into the classroom. An ice cream social. One day there's like field day scavenger hunt. Literally this is and one day you get to go to the hideaway. Karaoke night. Yeah and sober karaoke. Sober karaoke. French fry.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Yeah. Random random games. A scavenger hunt. It is um you could say it's grasping for straws a little bit. Yeah. But we we should talk about movie night because obviously last We were on the cusp and movie night was hotly anticipated because there had been some bullshit going on. Yeah. We had seen a lot that the Islanders hadn't seen. And I think movie night in and of itself lived up to the hype. I agree. I feel like they could have compacted the episode.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Like I would have liked one one movie night episode because they did have like 45 minutes at the beginning of the first one and 45. I'm like, I'm like, one, the sincere back to back would have been better, I think. Yeah, they should have, sincere should have gotten the like avatar, fire and ash treatment where it's like a three hour and 15 minute long. And there was more. Real. There was more because they, they, the one thing that they didn't show that I thought was like him teaching the sign language.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Well, teaching the sign language. But also when he says that he has forgotten what Melanie looks like in Casa Amor, he's like, bro, I mean, I can't even remember. I can't even picture her face. Yeah, like there was a lot more that could have been done. Also a lot more that could have been done to Kenzie. Yeah. They didn't show Gall. I think that maybe they were like, fuck, we're, the movie night clips have to be ready by Tuesday at 1 p.m.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah, I bet you're right. It's Tuesday at 1245 and she's making out with Gall and they're like, and the editor's like, no, I have to draw the line somewhere. It's like I have to export the file. Yeah, we don't have time. Do you want it or not? Yeah, that's exactly what happens. It's like the video is mid-upload right now. I can't just continue adding to it.
Starting point is 00:04:26 He's like, our in-house band is already re-recording Sabrina Carpenter's taste, okay? If you want it in there, we have to have it. The Sabrina Carpenter count is getting high this season, because we had bed cam last night. Was it really her? Was it a cover? I think the Sabrina songs have all been really her. They show out for Sabrina. The covers have been insane. They just can't afford chasing cars.
Starting point is 00:04:48 There was a cover of Natalie Ambruglia's Torn. I'm more ahead. I'm torn. While I think Melanie was, um. It was the end of the episode with like Kenzie and Dylan. And also before I forget, the most shocking scene I have seen in this whole thing is the snow owl that is just like living amongst them. And they're all talking to it. Like it's not an incredibly unusual experience.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Ariana said in an interview earlier that I saw like earlier this season that the owl just like is always there. Like the whole time. Well, the way Melanie talked to it, it was like. Like her fucking dog. Because she's been, because Ariana's been doing Love Island for three seasons now. Ariana's like, it actually is my owl.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And she's like, no, the owl just like lives there. Pedwig. And Melanie, okay, so after movie night, Melanie is obviously very upset with sincere.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And she's like seeing a lot of stuff. She gave a great, great performance. She was like, she was like, I don't care about getting picked. You don't, you don't consider me.
Starting point is 00:05:51 You don't actually like, getting picked isn't the prize. What do you get from Rita's? Five minutes later The fucking Sour Patch Kids water ice Somebody was like I had to go to Rita's And make sure that's a real flavor
Starting point is 00:06:03 Because since he was lying about everything Well he's a child But We were so rooting for Melanie To put this in the past I was rooting for her to be like You know what fuck this I'm going home
Starting point is 00:06:16 And she said she wanted to go home at one point It was just like Watching it And it is that thing where, like, deep down, I already knew that she was gonna fall back into the rhythm with him because that's what this show is. The way that they act, though, it's like they're splitting rent.
Starting point is 00:06:39 It's like they're on a lease together. Like, they keep going back to, like, like, I don't understand the need to stay, I guess, together. Like, it's, like, the most toxic couple that's usually, like, your friends or whatever. and it's like, well, they're on a lease together, so they live together out of convenience. Well, they've got four months left on the lease,
Starting point is 00:06:59 so if they broke up now, it would be like really inconvenient because it's kind of a short term to find a sub letter. Yeah, exactly. But I'm like, guys, you're not on the lease yet. And then when he's going on about, I want you to be my baby's mother, I want you to... I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to be my fiance.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I want you to be my wife. I want you to be the mother of my children at some point. And she's like, well, whoa, whoa, whoa! And he's like, not at the same time. And she's like, that made me happy. Yeah, but I'm like, what are you talking? about. It's, yeah, it's frustrating because I think, and she, like, after movie night, she's telling him really strongly, like, the words don't mean anything. It's the actions. And every time you've had the
Starting point is 00:07:37 opportunity to act the right way, you haven't. And so now when you're telling me that it's going to be different, that's not enough. I need you to show me. And the, the problem is, it's late enough in the season when this is happening that there's not really anything left for him to do. Exactly. I'm Like there's no other... If they're not sending in a bombshell, there's no choice happening. Totally. Because he's not going to go up to T.T. And be like, hey, could I pull you for a chat?
Starting point is 00:08:04 And so it's disappointing to watch then Melanie just kind of like forget about that after 48 hours. Because it's like, oh, you made me breakfast. You were, we had a good day. And it's like, but you what you were asking for two days ago that you needed from him, he hasn't really had an opportunity to do it. You're just like moving on. Which also like that could have been the conversation is like while we're in here like let's have fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:33 But when we get back outside like we're going to have to see action. I know. But instead she's like he really is perfect for me. I'm like girl, no. Okay. How's he going to act when you're working at the bikini store and a handsome gentleman comes up asking for help needing to pick out a bikini? I want to see like him get jealous. of her. And I wish they would have sent in somebody like for her.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Yeah. In front of him. In front of him. Instead of just the Casa more. I think that maybe like, I think that's one of the like flaws in the system is like once they come back from Casa, there's all of this turmoil because people are pissed off. There's movie night. You're exploring da-da-da-da-da-da. Zach and Kada, you know, were yelling until they weren't. T-T and whatever. But then like, after that there's no more trials and tribulations. It's just like... It's just the last day of school.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It's just coasting till the end. It's like trimming the fat, dumping couples after couples after couples. Sending Jen home. Sending Jen home, which by the way, Jen, I feel like she stayed for just long enough
Starting point is 00:09:38 for people to really start liking her. And now I'm like, girl, get those brand deals. Here's what I'll say. Jen, I did start to like by the end, but I did forget Jen existed. Until right in this moment. I forgot.
Starting point is 00:09:51 She literally forgot about it. Oh, she's been coming up on my TikTok, so I haven't forgotten. Oh, interesting. I am. I'm starting to get, now that we have more dumped islanders, I'm starting to get a lot more of their post-villic content. I'm getting a lot of Gabe. The other night on my For You page, I did get Gabe and Sean the cop on TikTok Live
Starting point is 00:10:13 together. My boyfriend. Like begging for, not begging, but like, people were like sending, yeah, no. People are like sending them roses. We're battling, guys. We're battling. And I'm like, Sean, you're a cop.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Go back to the police station and get on your knees and beg for that job back. Are there men in jail because of Sean? I just like, okay, Gabriel is like a model to begin with. Like, he's like a hot guy. He's living in Miami. He is go-go dancer. But it's like, okay, like him being on TikTok live, I'm like, I don't really think you had like that job job before. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Sean, it's like put the uniform back. back on. Go beg for your job back. There's got to be another town that could you show. We know the mayor doesn't want him there. Well, and he was like, oh yeah, people were asking in the comments about the like what they're going to do at the reunion. And Sean was like, well, I don't think I have much to say at the reunion because I was only there for a week. And I'm like, exactly. Get the fuck off TikTok live. And go back to solving homicides. That man was not a detective. Well, no, it was his first year at the force. He's like in the criminal justice system. The people are separated by two.
Starting point is 00:11:18 No, but it's just like we're starting to see the ripple effect of this season in like the social media ecosystem. And I'm not quite ready for it. Caleb is like doing well, I think. Yeah. Caleb, it's the blonde facial hair never works for me. Yeah. I'm sorry to blonde people, but like you don't need facial hair. Everyone doesn't need facial hair is the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Because also if you'll notice sincere and Casey have the. exact same facial hair, like the goate with a little thing here, and then a little like half mustache, which they both morphed into the exact same as the season has progressed. Maybe they're like doing each other's
Starting point is 00:12:02 like clippers. I think they are. Or it's the same barber doing it? I want to talk about Zach and Keda. Because during movie night, obviously they had already like been back and forth because she was mad about the picture and him not being respectful and all of that. And then the big reveal during movie night
Starting point is 00:12:18 which last week we were talking about not knowing is with Alana being pulled from Casa, did Kada know that, was production telling them not to talk about it? And what do you know? In the movie night, we see footage from the Casa Amor recoupling ceremony, which they don't show us in the moment. And the girls are standing up there waiting to not get chosen or whatever. And Trinity, Detective Trinity, she's the one saw the one. homicides. She goes, where's the angel girl? And then for the next like five minutes,
Starting point is 00:12:54 mind you, her name's not angel. She was just dressed like an angel the first night. The next like five minutes while chaos is breaking out. Anaya's yelling at Casey. Everybody's upset. Kada's just sitting there deep in thought. It's literally like that mean. It's literally like she's like putting she's putting the puzzle pieces together one by one. She's like out of corner. Oh, now the edge is done. Wait. And a couple of times she tries, she's like, and then she goes back to thinking. And then finally she's like, wait, what happened with Alana?
Starting point is 00:13:28 And I. Why wasn't Alana at the ceremony, Zach? Jaden's one real contribution to the season is just like, she left after the second night. I thought you knew. That is, because she didn't know. And I mean, I think we're in agreement that, it's crazy for Zach to act like that wasn't relevant information.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I think it's nuts. Because he immediately is in defense mode where he's like, I wouldn't pick you regard it. It doesn't matter. It literally doesn't matter because I would have picked. I knew this is going to be a thing. I knew it was going to be a thing. I would have picked you regardless.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I didn't say it because I knew it was going to be a thing. And it's like everything you're saying right now is exactly why you should have told her that. The first. I'm also like, okay, maybe production was like, don't say. But also you don't think at some point like while cuddling in bed at night, you wouldn't be like, oh my God, it's so crazy. The girl that I was matched with got sent home for being racist. I don't think he knew the reason.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I don't think they've shown. They just pulled her. I don't think they're like sending, showing them the Snapchat on their little flip phones. Well, regardless, I think it's crazy. It is crazy. And I think the thing is. They are the definition of a situation ship. This is what a situation ship is.
Starting point is 00:14:41 We'll get there. But so, like, Kada obviously is upset about that. And it kind of has the exact same pattern that we've now seen like four times with this couple is like, Zach does something stupid or says something wrong. And Kda's like really upset about it. Maybe she's crying. Maybe she's yelling. Maybe both.
Starting point is 00:15:01 And then. But she's pretending not to be upset. Within like by the end of the night or by the next morning. They're like this. He's perfect for me. We're literally perfect. Oh my God. Zach, you made me a heart shape pancake pancake.
Starting point is 00:15:15 That's so sweet. And it is just like, I don't think Zach is like the worst man ever. I don't think he's even the worst man on this season. But like there is this pattern of him just like kind of missing the point. And like he's, he's being kind of defensive of the other guys bullshit. He's making his own like, fuck up. Oh, oh, I don't. And it's just like, it's those little things that add up to where it's like, Kada has kind of.
Starting point is 00:15:45 have just like swept everything under the rug it feels like and that's what makes me wonder like when you're talking about being in the real world and you know maybe he lives in Australia we're finding out apparently he's the bi coastal to Australia's gold coast and and uh London he's about to be racking up those frequent flyer miles yeah I'm like what do you do but that but knowing that and then watching all of their little like blips throughout this season I'm like I feel like this is unlikely to last. It's not going to last. You can see like the panic in his face when they're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And I'm like, yeah, I don't get the, should we just keep going and talk about their current standing? Yeah. Okay. So over the last couple episodes, the big, like, theme has been everybody's kind of figuring out what their next step as a couple is as we get to the end of the season. Yeah. Are we going exclusive? are we closing things off, whatever. And Zach decides that he wants to take things to the next level with Kada,
Starting point is 00:16:52 but he's not ready for the label of boyfriend, girlfriend. So he's going to ask her if she wants to be exclusive with him, which he acknowledges that nobody's exploring right now in the villa, but that exclusive is this idea of like maybe like a half step forward to where you're like, exclusively exclusive but not boyfriend girlfriend so so you're not dating other people but you're not boyfriend girlfriend so then what what is the point of this is my question okay so a lot of the a lot of the islanders have the same question because i'm like maybe it's generational because i was also kind of seeing someone who had this viewpoint who told me that even that situation ship freaked him out
Starting point is 00:17:39 and i was like well this probably isn't going to last me i think to me situation does imply a little bit of mess where it's like, I don't know if this person feels the same as me about as I do about them. Or like, we're not necessarily hanging out super regularly or I'll text him and he doesn't always respond. Then Trinity is sort of right when she's like, it's a heavy talking stage. I'm like, there's no difference. Like being exclusive and being boyfriend, girlfriend, I feel like you still have to break up with this person to start seeing other people. or do you just start seeing other people? Like, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'm like, it seems like such a... So this is not a foreign concept to me. I understand. Well, because you're in the hedonist gay world. Well, no. I would never. I'm denying that. But I remember, when I was in college,
Starting point is 00:18:33 it was a thing that you, if you were like hooking up with somebody semi-regularly, let's say, that you would talk about not hooking up with other people, that it would be like, oh, we're like, we're not, like, when I was in college, I felt like I knew almost no one who had, like, a boyfriend, but people would talk about, oh, we're hooking up, oh, now we're like, exclusive. What a very college mentality to have.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Exactly. And all these people are fucking 23. But it doesn't make any sense because what is it? It's just you're my girlfriend, but I'm not taking you home for the holidays. I don't, yeah, I don't know if it's like, it's less of a distinction in reality. Because I'm like it makes, there is no distinction. The distinction is, um, it's like you're my secret girlfriend, but they are telling, announcing it's everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:27 But you can tell your friends. I thought Kate's reaction to them not being happy for the fact that nothing had changed in her and Zach's relationship was assinine. Okay, that I agree with you because I think it's like, if it, if it makes sense to both Zach and Kada, which it seems to, or at least Kada is pretending it does. I think it did it first, and then the reaction is now making her be like, wait,
Starting point is 00:19:49 is it not? If it makes sense to both of them, I'm fine with it. Because it's like your relationship is your relationship. And I'm like Trinity where I'm like, yeah, do whatever you want, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend like it's not crazy. And that's where I think it's like if Zach and Kada are both happy with their current situation
Starting point is 00:20:04 ship, more power to them. But you can't you can't be mad that if somebody has a question. But also, like, to be exclusive, she lives in New Hampshire. He lives in Australia. Well. And it's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Oh, no. I'm not dating anyone because I'm, I don't have a boyfriend or anything, but I'm not dating anyone because a guy that lives in Australia and I are exclusive. It's giving like imaginary made up girlfriend. Like, I'd be like, yeah, he goes to another school. Yeah, there's this, there's this guy in like England or maybe Australia. Yeah. It's one of them.
Starting point is 00:20:42 He just goes back and forth. But I do think this reminds me back in the day of when you could put your relationship status on Facebook as it's complicated. And I think we should bring that back. I get it. But also I'm like, why are we making things so complicated? Just be boyfriend, girlfriend. And if you break up, then the relationship's over. You know what's interesting, though, is so now Trinity and Bryce are boyfriend girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah. Casey and T.T. our boyfriend girlfriend. What did you think of that? After, I thought it was nice. It did give, it was nice. The end, I was like, are, is he gonna fucking propose?
Starting point is 00:21:18 It was a little much, but I mean, the girls got to do a scavenger hunt, so now the boys. The scavenger hunt, though, I thought was so funny because it was basically nonsense.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Like, if the men hadn't been there, she would have had zero clue that it was even a scavenger hunt. Each clue was basically like, okay, go to Bryce now. And then the next clue was like, Bryce is like, okay, go to Zach.
Starting point is 00:21:37 They're acting like the villa is the size of like the Met Museum where they're like, oh, now you have to find it. It's like the fire pits right over there. Yeah, it's literally like the kids from Bob's burgers got locked in somewhere overnight is the vibe of the end of Love Island. But so, okay, so we have two boyfriend girlfriends. And then we have exclusive Zach and Kada.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And then. Oh, yeah, Kenzie. Kenzie and Dylan are in a... Dylan? Dylan? Dylan. Dylan. Listen.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Listen. My Kenzie stock has gone, it's like a V, okay? It crashed. I was not a fan. And then just the juxtaposition of how much I can't stand Dylan next to Kenzie has made her stock rise exponentially. Yeah. And you got to buy low, sell high. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 So maybe. I'm ready to sell. Dylan, to me, is like the worst example of how to come on this show. later in the season because to me, like, if you compare him with Titi, let's say,
Starting point is 00:22:47 because they're both Kasa people, people of Kasa experience. I, Titi, we like didn't love at first because she was coming on very strong. She was kind of, she was like a little weird
Starting point is 00:23:01 when he was like, maybe I want to explore with, um, Sydney, I think. Sydney, yes. Um,
Starting point is 00:23:07 and then obviously the, that fire, bit moment was a lot. But T.T. has just, like, stayed, committed to her connection with Casey. She's made an effort to be positive with the other women. And since that... She was very quick. Yeah, they were all very quick to punch it up.
Starting point is 00:23:25 She kind of sat quietly at movie night, as I think was probably the right move. And since that CASA recoupling, she has really just kind of like become a steady presence on the show. And Dylan, I think, has kind of done the opposite. where he did not make that big of an impression in Casa. It wasn't dramatic when Kenzie picked him because Corbyn also picked Parmita. But it's like every day since then, he's been trying so hard to have these moments. And it's like there is nothing I want to see less than this man crying day after day,
Starting point is 00:24:02 pretending to be so emotionally wound up in this relationship with Kenzie. With this girl, he doesn't know. I don't believe for one millisecond that you care that much. Crying over and over and over again about things that he didn't, wasn't even involved in that she did before he got there. And mind you, he had seen the episode,
Starting point is 00:24:23 so he knew all of this already. That's a good point because obviously, like, if, when, like, Anaya's finding out what Casey said at movie night, that stuff is fresh to her. She's like, you said that about me. I mean, same with Melanie and sincere. It didn't go anywhere. but with Dylan, it's like, you knew about Corbin and Caleb before you met Kenzie.
Starting point is 00:24:44 The gall stuff, which they didn't show. Yeah. So he had seen the Corbin. He had seen Caleb. He had seen Zach. He had seen Sean. He had seen. And I think, too, it's not even just the, his like emotional response, which feels a little false.
Starting point is 00:25:02 But he literally seems kind of like angry at Kenzie. for, I don't know. It's like, she hasn't, she hasn't done any, since that kiss with Gall, she hasn't, like, done anything wrong, quote unquote. And he's acting like she's still going and, like, kissing other guys every single day. And, like, I, I mean, I believe that maybe she wasn't done exploring if there were more guys that came in. But, like, I mean, it's kind of like with sincere and Melanie, it's like, there's nothing more she can do to make you believe, like, you either believe her or you don't. don't. And if you don't believe her, then, like, leave.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Well, it's, yeah, he's just trying to get screen time. She's like, have you seen, like, the, he, like, literally, like, will look down, look up to find the right camera before he starts shedding tears. And I'm like, what are you crying about? What are you crying about? And then he, he calls her a liar because she says that she wants to, like, introduce him to her grandparents, like, take him on, like, like, whatever the fuck in Georgia. No, Kennesaw, whatever. She's from Kennesaw at the Lake. You know she loves Lake Havasu.
Starting point is 00:26:10 She would. She's been to Lake Havasu for sure. But she's like, I've never said that before. And he's like, but you did say it to Caleb? You did. No, and also he doesn't even say it. He says the next day, he's like, I've been thinking, I was too nervous to say it in the moment.
Starting point is 00:26:24 But I'm going to bring it up again. I'm going to bring it up again. At this point, I feel like we've watched them have versions of the same chat like six times. And there's couples that we barely hear from. And I'm like, I don't care enough about this. Take your virgin ass to the Bachelor's studio, okay? Like, it's, I can't with him.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Here we go. Someone's already claiming this is our year. Someone else said that last year, too. A round of James and Ginger and Lime arrives at a table. Smooth enough for kickoff, smooth enough for extra time. New friends pulling up a stool. Debates about whether that was a handball. Cheers rising like a roar around the room.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Because match days are about the shared moments. How did Jameson to your match day lineup? Jameson, it's what you bring. Please enjoy our products responsibly. I think this is a good point, though, to talk about the karaoke challenge. Because I want to talk about it in a fun way, but I also, the results of it where the couples take out their phones and rank their favorites. And Kenzie and Dylan win the karaoke challenge. And that ends up being like an immunity idol for them to not get, to be safe in that elimination.
Starting point is 00:27:38 and that is like maybe the first time that a challenge result has ever actually mattered on Love Island. And it's like, why do they do that? Why are we pretending that the karaoke challenge is like important? I think that if they knew how it was going to play out probably. I don't know. But what did you think about karaoke night as like a thing? Okay. Obviously I'm like, why are we doing this?
Starting point is 00:28:02 But I will say they did their best. Everybody surprised. Like obviously most people. were bad, but you know when people are not committed to it, so it's like everyone's struggling and feels uncomfortable, they really were giving it their all, I felt, everyone. Yeah, okay, I wrote down who sang what songs, because I think they all, there were some really different vibes happening. So we started with Parmita and Corbyn doing Dilemma. Yeah, do you think they picked these songs? They also knew how they all went very well. I guess they rehearsed. Okay, so I think actually
Starting point is 00:28:34 that they had an off day, that we didn't. see between when they found out about karaoke and when they performed because there was like they on the love island like socials and app and stuff they'll post like little extra content and there was a video from the off day of them like practicing for karaoke because i'm like they were rehearsed they all had but choreo they all had choreo i know loki i was like did they like send in a choreographer well kensi's a professional dancer kensi she's like and five six seven eight and one literally that's why she wanted dylan around split split split split split stretch dylan You know what's funny on the video that I saw that was like from their off day where everybody's just like hanging out and like talking about karaoke, they look so comfortable.
Starting point is 00:29:18 They're wearing like sweatpants, t-shirts. They've got hats on sunglasses, hair up and scarves. And I'm like, it is so crazy to think that six days out of the week they're required to sit in a bikini for like 12 hours when you like, let them wear. Let them wear what if they want. I guess that's just the real world. Let them wear leggings. Yeah, let them wear leggings. Bring back leggings.
Starting point is 00:29:42 But, okay, so we start with Parmita and Corbyn's dilemma, which, okay, they were one of the worst performances in terms of, like, vocal quality because Parmita, it's like, whoa, no matter what I do, Nelly-I. But they really gave it their all in a way that I found kind of charming. Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. They were terrible, but they really. tried. They really tried. T.T. and Casey doing Ain't No Mountain High enough. No, no real thoughts about that. No, no, no, it's. I love Ain't No Mountain High enough. I feel like they could
Starting point is 00:30:17 have done better, you know, if they'd seen the credits of Sister Act at any point. I think Zach and Kadas was tough. Them singing endless love. It was giving Michael Scott. Like, it was giving islands in the stream. I just don't know why you would pick, like, a really, like, soulful ballad. I feel like they didn't get to pick it. because Zach said Zach was complaining that he didn't get a dance song My Endless Love
Starting point is 00:30:45 Sounds like Marge Simpson Have you Have you? Have you watched the Simpsons It's only you Um Yes maybe So like all of them are old now Like the voice actors
Starting point is 00:30:58 And the woman who does Marge Like she can't It's rough That's so sad It's like March from like the 80s to now It's like oh things have deteriorated. I'm sure that that woman could buy a new voice box
Starting point is 00:31:11 with all the money she has. Maybe Kada can replace her. My endless love. But that was tough. Melanie and Sincere doing you're the one that I want was fun because it feels kind of like thematically appropriate to their... Yeah. You better shape up.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I was mad that they didn't make them do the part where it's like, Chang Chang, chang do up. That's the way... Shoe bop, shu-wana, yippity-boom. to boom. And Melanie could have done it. Melanie would have fun with it.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And Sincere would have gone along. They were, okay. He had fun. Them doing, again, like, the idea of the karaoke challenge pissed me off because I'm like, why are you wasting my Sunday night? But it actually was kind of fun to watch because they all committed to the bit. You can tell a lot by that, yeah, like how people react in that situation.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I also felt like they could have done better costumes on that. I wanted to see a more visible transition from good. Good Sandy to bad Sandy. They should have given her the outfit, the grease outfit. Or a blonde wig that she could have pulled off at some point. Yeah, they should have really gone all the way. Because she had bad Sandy, like, you know, she could have done something. Anaya and Carl doing Signorita, that didn't do anything for me.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Carl, the stock's going down, baby. It's a little bland. And I'm like, why has everyone talked to him? Like, he is Confucius. Like, literally everyone, like, he talks in fables. Yeah. He's like smarter, sincere, but like, I don't think this show needs smarter sincere. And he's like, there's a Chinese saying, whatever he said.
Starting point is 00:32:44 How do you say French fry? How do you say, yeah, and he's like thinking so hard about it. That was my favorite. Trinity, I was dying laughing at Trinity. And she's like, Dylan, can you say French fry? I need it. I need it from you and you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Bryce and Trinity's karaoke was really funny. No air. Him lifting her up in the air. That was very good. You can tell the Bryce was like, I can't. sing worth shit, so I'm just going to, like, lean into the being, like, the cutie boy. Yeah, yeah. I loved that.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I iconic. And then Kenzie and Dylan, don't go breaking my heart. Kenzie just shaking it. Listen, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Kenzie was wearing basically a Dancing with the Stars costume, and she knows what she wants. I knew exactly. Yeah. And she could kind of sing.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yes. Yeah. She'll be the new Roxy Heart in Chicago in no time. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? Yeah, yeah, you can't imagine. Yeah, of course I can. Of course I can imagine.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Ariana having to stand there acting like she hasn't literally starred in a Broadway show and being like... Oh yeah, speaking... That was good! I could never do that job. Also, Ariana's glasses. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:51 She had a sty. That's what I figured. Because she had posted on Instagram about having a sty, and I had a terrible sty like a month ago. Okay. And I looked at it and it's like, oh, that's exactly how mine looked the day before it got so bad. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:03 And then she had it still with her glare. this on. Yeah, somebody was like her eye was rejecting the contacts and they built a look around it. Yeah. I thought it was cute though. I thought it was very smart because if I didn't have, if I hadn't seen that story, I wouldn't, I just would have been like, why is she dressed as such a sexy librarian? I know. I mean, the vibes on Love Island are always, it was nice to see a challenge where they weren't like covered in goo and humping each other. Amen. Enough with the fucking goo.
Starting point is 00:34:28 But so, they rank them in order of the karaoke, but then also America has been voting for their most compatible couples. And so we have a bottom three, which is Kada and Zach, which they're surprised by. It's Parmita and Corbin and then Kenzie and Dylan. And we find out that the reward of winning karaoke means that you're safe from elimination. Which is so funny. It's so stupid, so random.
Starting point is 00:35:00 People are saying it's rigged. I'm like, girl, this Sarajevi challenge had to go through so many rounds of approval. That's been on the books since day one. But Parmita and Corbyn only get the one vote from Casey and T.T. To save. Which was obviously like we know that they're not winning. It was just to be nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And I think this is the point in the season where like I think they, by the finale, they have to get it down to four couples. And so they're kind of just looking for any reason to like lock people off the sides. And I think, honestly, I feel like Parmita and Corbyn left at the perfect time because people had started to like them more. And I think, you know, at the beginning, Corbin seemed like an asshole, Parmita seemed like a sex bot. Like, I feel like, but I feel like they had just enough time to get people to kind of like be like, oh, they're kind of cute. And then now they can go do whatever they want. I was ready for them to go for sure. Yeah. But so Zach and Kada are like
Starting point is 00:35:54 spiraling about not being, you know, one of the favorites. America's favorite couples. Zach is like, nothing. They were losing their minds that Casey and T.T. I know. But I'm like, respectfully, Casey and Titi haven't had drama since they got together. I'm like, it was confusing. But Keda, who yells at everyone, which I love, like, that's how she gets people to do anything.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Like, when she's like, Brice, I need you to do my makeup. We're going upstairs to the makeup room. And he's like, I'm not allowed in the makeup room. Yes, you are! You're really, you're really dropped into that. And then when... And then she's like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:36:33 I don't even fucking care what America thinks. It's you guys are wrong. We do have a connection. Okay. If there was any couple that I thought would have been in the bottom, it would be Anaya and Carl. Because of Anaya's like, whole. I know. Somebody pointed out, though, that it's like, Anaya didn't pick Carl.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So now I, I just think I'm less high. I don't care that much about Anaya and Carl. Like, I don't think that they're like in love. I think that they seem to get along just fine. And I think... It was a relationship of convenience, which is also fine. I also feel like Anaya's like, God, I should be so into this guy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I'm not. And they're talking about doing distance and I'm like, baby, it's okay. You don't have to. Yeah, you don't have to leave here with your husband. She's like, I have always wanted to explore Denver. She's like, yeah, girl, no. But also, Kenzie and Dylan, after getting saved, Kenzie, talking to the girls the next day. Wait.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And she's like, so... It was very Teresa Judice. She, like, thought about it all night long. She's like, so, like, do you all think, like, if, like, we hadn't, like, won the, like, karaoke challenge, like, do you think we would have, like, gotten, like, saved? And it's Melanie's sitting there. Trinidad's sitting there. T.T.'s sitting there. And then Melanie finally says.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I don't think we should think about that. Because it didn't happen. So it didn't happen. So if it didn't happen, it didn't happen. And we don't have to think about that. Henzy. Wait. So.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Hensie, baby. you would have sent us home? I don't think there's, I don't think anybody that voted for Zach and Kada would have, would have, like, switched to Kenzie and Dylan. No. Because,
Starting point is 00:38:13 I mean, what, regardless, whatever you think about Zach and Kada's, like, positive vibes or lack thereof, they've been together since the beginning and they're still choosing each other.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And it also comes down to, like, the boys are closer with Zach, the girls are closer with. Kenzie and Dylan have been together for four days and I've spent it fighting. Like, Yeah. Yeah, they would have gotten out. And they also, I think, can see that Dylan is just wanting camera time.
Starting point is 00:38:39 So now we're getting down. Because Trinity, she's like, with all due respect, get over it. Right. We're getting down to the end of the season. And I'm like, Kenzie and Dylan are going to be like next to go for sure. Yeah. They have to be. Right?
Starting point is 00:38:50 There's only five. Is there only five? There's six couples left. Who am I forgetting? So who do we think is the top four? I think it's going to be Trinity and Bryce. Melanie and Sincere. T.T. and Casey and Casey and Zach and Kada.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And then Karlin and Iya and Kenzie and Dylan, I think, will be the... I don't know. I don't know. It'll either be Carl and Anaya or Zach and Kada. I don't think Zach and Kada are going to make it. I think a lot of people are going to think the same way that... About the situation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Well, okay, so on last night's episode, we had the situation conversation, but we also got the hideaway open for the second time this season. finally and they pick Melanie and sincere very quickly did they have sex that was also confusing no because they were like
Starting point is 00:39:39 we said we didn't and he's like I said we didn't and she's like you did and I was like well did what happened oh you think they did I think they did because she said
Starting point is 00:39:47 no matter what you said remember they had cameras in there and they did show them like under the blankets it looked as though they were and she said don't stop and I'm like yeah so I'm like
Starting point is 00:39:56 where were we just french frying but I'm like you french fry every night I'm sorry, unless she was like on her period or something. Like, I'm like, if you're in the hideaway. Also, if she was on her period, she should be like, guys, I'm on my period. Someone else should go. Trinity and Bryce fucked in the bed the other night.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I know. Congratulations. Good for them. Congratulations, Trinity and Bryce. You did it. We should have put Kenzie and Dylan in there and see if Dylan actually. Oh, she would have got the handcuffs out. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:24 And we'll see how he'd be screaming the safe word so quick. Somebody should have done S&M for Carrie. karaoke. Her. Nah, nah, come on. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Dylan just being like, woo, woo! He'd be terrified. Yeah, a little bit serial killer vibes. Imagine if Gal and Jen
Starting point is 00:40:45 had still been there for that challenge, for the karaoke challenge. I would have loved that. Phantom of the opera. Oh, but yeah, people were disappointed
Starting point is 00:40:57 that Melanie and Sincere got chosen for the hideaway. I mean, people just like don't want them to be together they're like but also they were they were in the most compatible they were voted in the they were safe because people that are toxic or people that are in toxic things themselves yeah young people are like of course they're going to work out because if they work out me and my thing is going to work out my guy treats me just like that so he has to be good yeah and then so melody and sincere in the hideaway and we don't know whether
Starting point is 00:41:29 they did the do or not. And then the next morning at like the, before the crack of dawn, Anaya gets a secret text in bed. I'm like, first of all, like, is she sleeping with the phone? I'm like, how many of the guys do you think we're laying in bed just like, okay, I'll lay here and pretend like I don't know what's going on? They told us to keep our eyes closed. And the girls are like crawling around.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Getting ready. They have to break into the hideaway and snatch Melanie out of bed. and they're like, that's how they're sleeping in there. They're all on such heavy ambient. It's time for you to leave the villa. There's gonna be a special surprise. Melody!
Starting point is 00:42:10 And so they have to like semi get ready in the pitch. It's pitch black outside. I looked up what time the sunrises in Fiji because that's how my brain works. It rises, sunrises at like 6.30 and it was dark enough outside that I'm like, it was before 6 a.m. Wow. If you ever Why? To go to a water park?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Snatched me out of bed before 6 a.m. To go to a rather bootleg-looking water park with inflatable slides. Which they probably brought in. No, no, no. I looked it up. It's a real water park. Oh, wow. It's called Big Bula.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Decent reviews on Google, but some people said that inflatables are kind of dirty. Of course they are. Yeah, it's like forked found in kitchen. If you ever woke me up that early for like a surprise of any kind, I would be annoyed. But if the surprise was, you're getting... Not like we're flying to Paris. Taken to a water park. With blow-up inflatable.
Starting point is 00:43:10 We would never speak again. We would not be friends any longer. People were like, oh, I wanted them to have a spa day. Also, Melanie, she's like, this is the one day that we are in a room of our own just to sleep. When Zach and Cato were in the hideaway, we saw them in. Sleep all day. We saw them in the morning, like, cuddling in the hideaway. Everybody else was already, like, up and at them by the time they came out of the hideaway.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I would literally be like, excuse me, my hideaway experience was cut short. I was sleeping in a room with no other people for the first time. Imagine if she was like, we'll have sex in the morning. Let's not do it tonight. Yeah, if it was like, okay, baby, we're going to, we're going to wake up at like 7.30. We'll sleep in. And then before you go make me breakfast for the 50th day in a row, then you can do it.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Maybe. No, since you were like jump into the ocean and like, swim away. And then I would have also been pissed. The other guys are like, why couldn't we go to the water park? They're like, you deserve some time away from the guys. I'm like, first of all, if they deserve time away from the guys, sending them to a water park is like not the vibe. It's literally like in college when everyone fucked up on the floor.
Starting point is 00:44:24 so then the RA would have the meeting at 7 a.m. It's the only time everyone can make it. And also, you won't do it again. When in your life was the last time you went to a water park? I feel like it actually wasn't that long ago. Okay. Because for me it was like probably, well, no. It's been, it's been, I went to six legs recently, but it wasn't the water park.
Starting point is 00:44:45 It was just regular six legs. You were at Hurricane Harbor. Terrible, by the way. Amusement parks do not hold up for, like, on roller coasters. I was like, why am I doing this? Not that I'm scared. It's just like, why is, I'm just jostling my bones around? Right.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Like, you're going to be sore the next day. My neck hurt. It wasn't fun. You're on a water slide. You're getting, like, bumped down. Do you know how many people die in water parks? A lot. You're getting thrown down a hard plastic shoot.
Starting point is 00:45:12 In Fiji, I can't imagine we're adhering to... I don't know. I don't know. Inflatables? I don't know. The water park, like, excursion really just threw me because I'm like, They have like a very strange idea of what's like a fun day out. Can I get a fucking pedicure?
Starting point is 00:45:29 I've been barefoot for 12 weeks walking around this dump. My feet are shriveled. Yeah, like can I get like a hot stone massage? Yeah, literally I've been walking around a hundred degree pavement every day. My calluses are so thick. I need a bigger shoe size. You know what would be like a nice day for these people? Let them sleep.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Literally. Let them sleep. Bring them their own bed. There's a lot of other things we could do. Let them wear shorts around the villa. Let them eat cake. But yeah, the boys are like stuck at home. The boys can't have anything nice.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Like it's just... No, yeah. This season, they're very much like... The girls are... The boys are... The boys... Kenzie, you're staying and Bryce is coming. We're going to switch.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Who's... But yeah, no, we're getting down to the end. Everybody's figuring out their situation. Families are coming. Families are coming. It is, Love Island is a crazy show for the family visit because they're literally,
Starting point is 00:46:28 the girls are sitting there in bikinis, the boys are shirtless, and then it's like your mom walking in and she's like, I'm so proud of you. You know what I do love though or I'm interested about is like, on Survivor say,
Starting point is 00:46:40 when they bring the families, they have no idea what's happened. They don't know if their kid has been a douchebag the whole time or not. Literally. These parents know. These parents know. And have been maybe posting negative things,
Starting point is 00:46:53 about the other people's kids. Like, Trinity's mom is watching this being like, you did what in the car? It's, it is, it is wild, because this show is like so, like, horny forward that you have to watch your child on there and then go to Fiji where the deeds have been happening. Where they've been talking about French frying,
Starting point is 00:47:18 where they've been having sex in a room of 10 people. I know that bedroom smells crazy. And your mom has to walk in there and be like, you've done the family proud. What are you proud about? Imagine if my... It's no offense. Like, I'm imagining my own mother watching Love Island.
Starting point is 00:47:32 If I was on Love Island. And then her coming. And she would be like, good job, I guess. I would not tell anyone in my family I was Love Island. If they saw Love Island, I would be like, that's crazy. He looks just like me. That's not me. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Sorry, my phone was at the repair shop for the last six weeks. Yeah, I had set it up before. I'd be like, um, listen, I'm going on an excursion. Oh, I have a moment. I'm going on a mission. I don't know why. A Christian mission. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:57 They should send some missionaries to the villa next year. I'm going on my missionary trip. One of the challenges is just like, can you find Jesus? No. They need it. Jesus is forgotten about that villa. Well, I'm excited to be back next week and talk about how we wrap this whole thing up. How much do they win?
Starting point is 00:48:18 $100,000? But to split. And it gets taxed, of course. That's barely. first-class flight back from Viji. So they probably get like $20,000 each. Well, at least they have their dignity. At least they come back with like $20,000, like risk of skin cancer.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And they're exclusive. And an exclusive talking stage. Girlfriend, an excursial talking stage in New Hampshire. With a man who lives across the world. Maybe. Congrats. Thanks, Chris. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Where can people follow you? You can find me at Fat Carrie Bradshaw with a pH. And you can find you can find. following me at Dylan Hafer. Thanks guys.
