CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome to Love Island Aftersun.
This week has brought all the drama to the villa.
The iconic Snog, Marry, Pie lived right up to its name.
Terrace Tom became Tease Tom after losing.
And Ron has finally had enough. He's over it.
It is a lot, but to help us get all the way into it,
we have Love Island's Italian Stallion and Turkish Delight,
Davide and Ekin-Su.
CHEERING
Olivia and Maxwell decided that Claudia and Keenan
would be their travel-home buddies. So they're all here tonight.
CHEERING
Kai's mum Jill and stepdad Kenny will be sharing their views.
CHEERING
Plus, we have superfan Elz and my panel chat G's Indiyah and Sam.
CHEERING
All right, get comfortable. Because we're going in tonight.
CHEERING
We should start with Lana and Ron
who tonight found out that the whole villa
were talking about them behind their backs.
But first, let's remind ourselves of Ron's "game player" comment
that got everyone fired up.
When I was a viewer,
I thought the people who create the most drama,
they're the ones that's games.
And then I thought the ones who have their drama nice and early
and then get comfy and treat it like a holiday,
they are the ones who are probably like they just cruise.
And I can see why people probably thought,
"Oh, Lana and Ron are just cruising through." Yeah.
I'm not bothered by any of that. Because I know I'm not.
Otherwise I would never have made her my girlfriend.
It means too much to me. As long as you two are happy,
that's all that matters really.
Mm.
OK. So is Ron exposing his game plan here
or are people just getting excited? Elz?
I think Ron's a good talker.
He's good at getting himself out of situations. He's very self-aware.
So in that scenario, he acknowledged what Shaq said,
debriefed the people around him.
And then tried to get out of it.
I do feel like he's just doing damage control though.
What do you think, Sam? Cos you're Team Ron at the moment?
I know this is going to go down so badly,
but I don't think he's done anything wrong. OK.
There's no game playing. He's not saying, "I'm playing a game."
He's literally sitting there going,
"I can understand why people think that I should be up there,
"because we look like we're coasting."
As if the other people don't watch the show.
It's the biggest show in the UK.
You have to pretend, "No, I'm just here for the love."
Just for the love. They are here for love. Aren't they?
I think so. Come on.
All right, well, Ron and Lana came in the top three
for most likely to have their heads turned,
least sexual chemistry and the most game playing couple,
which is not a good top three. But are you shocked? No.
They've been through a lot. It's expected.
I'm not shocked at all.
I think he's handled it well though. Lana has.
Has everyone just seen this as an opportunity to take them down,
because they're a bit vulnerable at the moment?
To be honest, I don't think... Ron's not my favourite.
I don't think he's going to win it. I just think everyone is piling in
cos they've seen a little bit of weakness.
When you smell blood, you go in! Yeah.
We're near the end, everyone is like, "I want to win!"
So I just feel sorry. I wouldn't vote for him myself,
but I feel sorry for him. He's always having to defend himself.
APPLAUSE
Yes!
You got a clap.
Ron said that he's been holding his tongue.
Do you feel like this is now the point
where he should or could lose it?
Yeah, I feel like the way the episode was left
he's gonna kick off next episode. I need confrontation.
I love the drama in Love Island. That's what I need.
I think Ron, potentially Samie as well,
I'm sensing tension between those two.
We'll speak about Samie in a bit.
Onto Rosie and Casey.
Because Ron came between them also.
Casey said that he prioritised the boys over Rosie.
That caused a bit of drama.
But did Rosie take it the wrong way? Was that a good reaction?
She completely twisted everything. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy.
Thank you. But from what I heard
with the conversation with Ron and Lana
and then when she went to tell Casey,
that's not what quite happened. No.
The truth was altered just a little bit. Just a touch.
Maybe emotions running high? Yeah.
Should they be having this much drama so early on? No.
I wouldn't say it's drama though. I feel like it's good
to be open and honest when you're in a situation with somebody.
I think she's voicing her opinion saying,
"I feel like I pull you more than you do me," which is fine.
But she put words in Ron's mouth. Cos he didn't say all that.
APPLAUSE
Do we think this could put Casey off Rosie, or not?
It shouldn't. I think it's all pretty fair.
He seems so comfortable round the boys.
Then he just doesn't seem as comfortable round her,
which is fine. I just don't think,
echoing what Indiyah said, because she's always right, to be fair,
I do feel like he was the third party to that conversation.
Just like, look, if you feel like he's not giving you enough,
take a step back, see what happens. It's a pretty fair bit of advice.
That's normal advice. There is the topic of discussion,
if a girl gets in the way of a guy and his mates,
is that game over now? Or can they move forward?
Are they even mates though? don't know. They're not really.
The bromance?
They're not really like bros.
If they're not bros...
They are associates at the moment.
Well, Casey had a very big week of dropping other people in it.
Have a look at this.
The more I'm seeing of Jessie,
the more I think she's playing a game.
I want to be 100% genuine and stuff like that,
but there's just little things.
Yeah, like honestly, it was one of the most strange interactions,
like the way she was speaking to me, it seemed like such an act.
I've just had a conversation with Maxwell.
He wanted to chat with me.
He was very much of the opinion that you shared the same views?
No, it's got nothing to do with me. That's what I said.
He doesn't feel maybe she's being genuine.
Do you think she's genuine? Yeah, I think she's genuine.
No! Casey's being mixed up.
I don't know, maybe you get comfortable in there.
You forget the cameras are on. We all tell fibs in real life
and he's just doing it to the nation.
What do you think about it?
I just think he's quite defensive sometimes.
He comes across as defensive when he's confronted.
And we saw there that he just completely denied the conversation.
He just told a big, fat lie.
I mean, are we seeing a different side to Casey this week
or did we know he had it in him? He's always had it in him.
But I don't know what's in the air,
why is no-one minding their business?
Everyone is just focused on, "You're fake, you're fake."
Focus on your relationship.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Like our boy Kai.
My boy Kai.
He's minding his business right now.
Let's talk about Will and Jessie next.
Will was livid to hear that people suggested
that Jessie was a bit fake.
He was greasing everyone down in the villa.
He said everyone was a snake, like that.
Do we think Jessie's fake? What's the common consensus?
Is that... What do you lot think? Ask Sam.
No! Yeah. Yeah? No?
No? OK. We got mixed views.
That's really mixed.
Sam? You don't think she's fake?
We do the podcast together, so...
I don't think she's fake per se.
I just don't know,
there was a bit in the challenge where she kept on
getting her back up over really small things, I never understood.
Then she cried in the kitchen.
"Everyone thinks I've got an ulterior motive." No-one said that.
She's almost giving herself away.
No-one's put you on the podium for that. The public don't think that.
The public didn't think it until everyone else started saying it.
Then the public are like, why would they think that?
I didn't suspect that she was fake.
But that's what happens.
I'm not saying she's fake.
I'm not saying it. Sometimes when you take a step back,
people start snitching on themselves.
Maybe that's what's happening. OK.
Well, at least Will's had her back the whole time.
He has been riding for her.
Does that mean that they're a strong couple? Yeah, 100%.
It shows how true Will is as a person.
Even if like your girl is in the wrong, you stick up for her.
I like that. It's cute. I'm sceptical of them.
What do you think? I'm not sceptical of Jessie.
I think that the way Will acted in Casa
just makes me worried about the outside world.
If he goes on a night out or he's getting carried away,
he's a very impulsive person.
I could see him getting carried away on a night out.
And regretting it later. Doesn't mean he doesn't love Jessie.
But I just wouldn't trust him.
I don't think Will does nights out, if you've seen TikTok...
he is lambing. He is permanently lambing.
Remember you said he has dates behind the bushes and stuff.
He takes them up the hill.
Thank you guys, we'll hear more from you all later.
This week, we saw Kai dodge being placed in the bottom,
which was new territory for him.
Sanam was over the moon about it, as were his family
who join us tonight. Make some noise
for Kai's mum Jill and stepdad Kenny!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Hello, how are you? Good, thank you.
Welcome to Aftersun.
Thanks for having us. How has it been having to watch?
Good. Really good.
I've heard you're a big Love Island fan? I am.
You've watched every series? I have. I have.
Yeah, it's quite surreal to see Kai on there. I was going to say,
do you want to shout at the screen sometimes and get involved?
Yeah, my emotions have been up and down completely.
It's been like a roller-coaster.
Of course. Kai has been on a full journey with the girls
from the beginning till now.
How does it feel to see him one week from the final?
We were saying before, when Kai first went, like
and said bye to us, he said, "I'll see you in a week."
He didn't think he would last. He thought he'd be home in a week.
Look at him now. I know. It's good.
He's doing well. He is. We have to talk about Kai and Olivia.
They both re-coupled during Casa.
Did they both make the right decision, did you think?
Yeah. Definitely. I think they both did, in the end, I think
it worked out better for both. They're both smiling.
That's it. I think they both found connections elsewhere,
Olivia with Maxwell work.
And Kai and Sanam work. Yeah, they made the right decision.
We have got to speak about
Kai refused to apologise to Olivia.
What did you think about that situation? Be honest.
To be fair, I was proud of him.
Because I can only imagine how tense it's got to be in there.
To not rise to it and try and see past it,
I think he dealt with it brilliantly.
We were both really proud.
I didn't know what he needed to apologise for, to be fair. But...
CHEERING
All right. That's fine.
Sanam, let's talk about her. Is she Kai's usual type?
Yes. Definitely.
Do you see it lasting? Yeah, I think they both seem to...
I just... teacher and social worker. It goes.
Makes sense. Yeah, I do think, yeah,
they'll go really well. I think they'll last. I do. I like her.
You like her? It's a bit of a different situation,
usually like I'll meet your partner one day. You've already seen her.
I know everything about them. We've been on dates with them everywhere.
Seen the snogs, that's a bit weird. Very.
Do you reckon they'll say "I love you" soon, could they be next ones?
I think Kai is planting the seed. Really?
Yeah, by saying, "Are you going to say you love me now,
"because I made you breakfast." He's putting it out there.
He knows what he's doing. He's dipping a toe in the water.
Definitely.
That's smart, sense it before you go in.
Is he going to be first to say it? Yeah. Yeah.
Cute. If you could give him any advice at this point in time,
jump in the screen, what would you tell him?
Carry on doing what you're doing. Be you.
Lovely. Thank you for chatting to us.
Make some noise for Jill and Kenny, everyone!
CHEERING
Still to come, the latest dumped couples are here
and the tea is brewing.
But first, the nation fell in love with them
and they fell in love with each other.
It's Series Eight winners, Ekin-Su and Davide.
CHEERING
Welcome to Aftersun.
You guys have been so, so busy, so many adventures.
What are you up to at the moment?
Yeah, I feel like because we've been really busy,
now we are just spending time for us and enjoying the relationship.
Lovely. Of course we got many plans coming
and we feel like in the summer I want to bring her Italy
properly to Sicily and then hopefully
when the situation in Turkey will calm down,
we want to go there as well.
Just living and loving then, enjoying.
There's a little rumour that you got engaged on holiday, is that true?
It's true! Joking. No, no, I'm joking.
It's a promise ring. If you were to propose, it wouldn't be like that.
When I propose, people will not doubt, if it's a rumour.
It will be confirmed. OK.
No speculation.
All right. Fair enough.
I thought we had an exclusive then for a second.
This series has been super dramatic.
What has it been like watching the show
knowing that you've been there, you know how it goes?
I haven't watched a lot of the show, just a few episodes.
OK.
That's fine. What...
Do you miss the villa, let's talk about that instead?
Sometimes we miss the villa.
But I feel like...
I feel like it's all exciting, it's coming to an end.
When we were in there, we don't know what's going to happen.
We didn't really care about the final.
Because I was like I found him and he found me.
We were like, if we go, we go. It doesn't matter for us.
For winning, it's fine with each other.
Once you found your person, you are happy with that.
We just want to go home. You just count the days
and say, I want to test that on the outside.
Yeah. Lovely.
That's a perfect outcome, that's the point of the show.
Go in there, find your person, and then enjoy life together.
It has been dramatic inside, I know you haven't seen much.
Drama has been happening. It is the last week until the final.
Do you feel like nearing the final,
people are either settled... I know you two weren't.
Or people are trying to sabotage a bit before the end?
Yeah, because people can see who is genuine, who is real.
I feel like people get jealous in there. They do anything...
I feel like we had the highest vote for fakest couple at one point.
Yeah, it's funny now looking back, cos it's like...
Hello, look at me now.
You know what, you just have to ignore what people think about you.
Relationship is between two people, not everyone in the villa.
So, people can think everything, doesn't matter.
No-one is with us every day 24 hours.
I don't blame the people who see us thinking we are fake.
I know what is happening between us. Fake like Louis Vuitton China.
A question from the audience.
Hi, guys. You went into the villa as bombshells,
did you go in with a game plan?
No, I didn't even know what I was going to do inside.
I entered the first night, so everything was fresh and new.
I just went there. I said I'm going to be genuine with myself.
I hope I will find someone. I didn't go with any games.
I just went in to find someone.
I wasn't there to make seasonal girlfriends.
And, you know...
I have my friends back home. It's Love Island, not Friend Island.
I always say this.
We have heard that line a few times this year.
I feel like actually this year
there's been the least friendships out of all the series.
They are really not trying to make friends.
You guys became exclusive while you were in there,
with the tiramisu proposal.
Do you have any advice on how to make it exclusive?
Do you think there's pressure for the couples
to get exclusive while they're in there?
Yeah, once you are inside, because there's no much you can do
to prove to the other person you care about her,
I feel like you feel this pressure to tell her,
"I want to be exclusive with you."
You can go a restaurant with her.
You can do many things to show her you care about her.
If you weren't exclusive in the villa, they're not a genuine couple.
You don't need a label to prove that you're a real couple.
You feel a bit of... You do have that pressure.
It's more sped up. It's an intense environment.
Thank you so much for joining us. Ekin-Su and Davide, everybody!
CHEERING
The beach party looked so good,
that I flew all the way to South Africa to join in.
I didn't know I was going to be joined
by four Islanders on the flight home.
Let's look at the moment Claudia, Keenan, Olivia and Maxwell
found out I was double dumping.
'To have to make that decision was horrible.'
You have to weigh up the options
and make the decision you feel is the best one to make.
'I just hope that Claudia and Keenan understand our decision.'
I'm just happy that I'm leaving with Maxwell.
Tonight has been weird. In my head I feel like I was ready.
Claudia's had it tougher than me.
I've basically been on a lads' holiday for the past seven days.
Good morning. Morning.
This is so strange. Not waking up with 14 other people around.
It is nice just to have a bit of privacy, just us.
Are you still gonna make me a coffee this morning? 100%.
Yay.
How does it make you feel being the least compatible couple.
We know who we are, what we want. That's all that matters.
Do you still think we made the right decision?
I think so. I'm excited to see Claudia and Keenan at breakfast.
I'm so excited. Time to get dressed.
Let's go and have breakfast. Let's go.
So weird to be out of the villa. It's like our own villa here.
How are you feeling?
It was very intense that last few days for me.
No anger towards you two. I think you chose right.
We both said we would have done the same thing.
It was a difficult decision. We really did go through every option.
How are you feeling? Before we left we made things exclusive.
Oh.
You two! We did as well.
I'm joking.
I didn't even realise that you liked Rosie.
I took her up to the terrace, before the kiss.
We were saying, do you reckon he's marking his territory?
To make myself vulnerable like that is massive.
I told her and come back down and I knew as soon as we went up there.
If things don't work out with Rosie and Casey,
that maybe on the outside...
We did say to each other, when I was leaving, we'll see each other again.
Did you? Did she say that to you?
She was crying as well, yeah. Did you enjoy the experience?
I literally had the experience of a lifetime.
It's been the most amazing thing, like meeting you guys.
Everyone in there. Like the whole experience,
I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was amazing.
I can't tell people what it's like.
It's like you just have to experience it.
It was such a unique experience.
I'm so happy for everyone I met, all the friends I made.
I'm very happy to be leaving with somebody
that I do actually like and I'm into.
That's so cute.
It was a great experience. I feel like we did leave on a high.
Definitely. For sure.
You found what you came for. You never know!
You've got to kiss a few frogs, haven't you?
I hope you're talking about yourself, not me.
We're so sorry for the outcome. But I'm glad
we've been able to talk it through.
And let's just cheers to Aftersun on Sunday.
Cheers!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Shockingly dumped from the villa,
I have been waiting to hear what they thought of it.
Guys, it's Claudia and Keenan!
CHEERING
Hello, my loves. Welcome to Aftersun.
Thank you. How are you? Good.
All northerners. Northerners together.
I remember he called you a Northern Princess. He still does.
I love that.
Do I? Good bond you've had.
She's flirting with me? Shut up. Is there flirting now? No.
Absolutely not. Your mum and sister were on last week. They were lovely.
What has it been like seeing them again? Amazing.
When I came back the night before, they waited up for me.
3am hugging me. Amazing.
I know they go through emotions. Seeing her upset made me upset.
Amazing to see. I have a great family behind me.
Nice. Is it good to be back?
Yeah. Slightly overwhelmed. But yeah.
Crazy, isn't it. Glad to be home.
I've missed everyone. It's good to be back.
You've not got long left.
I was gonna say there's no drama without us, but there clearly is.
Did you see tonight? I know.
Let's talk about your entrance. You came in as a bombshell.
You got Casey's heart racing.
What did you originally like about him?
His looks for sure, he was my type to a T.
The hair, the way he smiled.
That first date, he was like the male version of me.
We got on so well.
We had the same background. The conversation flowed.
I loved being around him. It was just like we were meant to be.
We connected straight away. I got that straight away from him.
Vibe was there and then it wasn't. We'll speak about that after.
Keenan, you went into the villa with your sights set on Samie.
How hard is it to make connections at that stage in the series?
Cos everyone's already bonded.
Looking back now, I went in with an impossible challenge.
I kinda set the bar high with Samie.
Obviously, I can't jump that high, so...
Thanks.
Claudia, you did have an emotional time in there.
Were you surprised that you had such strong feelings for Casey
in such a short space of time?
I didn't think I would go in there and feel the way I did.
I knew the emotion behind there,
but every tear I had was so real.
I was holding it back a lot of the time.
I was like, pull yourself together. It was so hard. Really was.
Everything was real. Yeah, he really got to me.
I shouldn't let it happen. But it did.
It's real life. Everyone's watching the show,
you can't catch feels that quickly. I could fall in love in four days.
If I wanted to. Same.
I don't judge any of that stuff.
You had a gut feeling that Casey's head would turn. I did.
How well do you think or well, do you think he handled the situation?
I don't think great. But then, he had
a connection with someone else. I can't fault that.
They look like they get on really well.
It was just hard for me. Because I had that connection with him.
Then it was like I was pushed aside.
The day after it happened, it was almost like
he forgot to talk to me, I wasn't there any more.
It's gone from kissing and cuddling,
and chatting all the time to just all of a sudden nothing.
It was like really weird to watch and watching the guy you like
connect with someone else was just heartbreaking. It wasn't nice.
It's not a normal situation anyway.
On the outside world that wouldn't happen. Block, delete, done.
I had to watch it. Yeah, it was hard.
Keenan, you chose to couple up with Claudia.
Did you think there was something there at the beginning?
Northern Princess.
You know what, I had a couple of chats with the girls
and the small opportunity I had, we had the best energy between us.
I went with my heart.
Obviously didn't work out.
You have tried.
You did express your feelings for Rosie. And it didn't work out.
But do you wish maybe you got in there sooner?
You spent time together before you entered the villa,
do you feel you should have cracked on straight away?
Looking back, hindsight is a nice thing.
I should have gone early for her.
Looking back, I don't think we would work on the outside.
So maybe it's worked out for the best.
And now your DMs will be filled.
You can have all the things in the world.
Maybe, I don't know. There has been a little bit of tension
between Casey and Rosie now. Yes.
What do you think that will play out like?
What she's saying about him is how he treated me.
The way she's saying that he doesn't come and pull me for chats,
he's with the boys all the time, it's how I felt.
I was the one talking to him all the time.
He never pulled me. He loved spending time with Will and Tom.
That's amazing. But it's Love Island. It's not Friend Island.
You're there to find a connection.
I understand how she was feeling. Theirs is a bit deeper.
I feel what she's going through. That's how I felt.
It was, is it real or is it not?
But I kind of get where she's coming from a little bit.
I am seeing her side of it a bit. Are you?
I'm on the same page as you. I do think,
like, they are like compatible, from the same background and stuff.
But he was kind of on a lads' holiday. With me.
It's like bros before...
No, she's not that. That's a saying!
You gave us banging bombshell vibes
from the moment you entered the villa.
Let's look at your best bits. Oh, no.
Woo! Let's really get them hearts racing.
She is my type to an absolute tee.
Casey would you like to come on a date? I would love to.
This journey is just starting.
Think about the guys, what they are doing.
Straddling, kissing.
Didn't think what we had would be beaten.
Hopefully it's a bit of a fresh start.
Closing myself off. That's good to hear.
You do need to explore other girls you know what I mean?
Hope she's not better than me. I'd never close myself off.
I feel like we've got a lot in common.
I do want to get to know her. I don't want to be someone's option.
She's stunning. You're not for him.
Keenan, nice to meet you.
Cheers to the date.
Do we have to be worries, yes or no? Absolutely shitting...
What is it with these southerners? I don't know.
Claudia.
It was hard, who do you pick?
I do really fancy you. Aww.
Don't "awww" me. You know monkeys do this to bond.
That's not going to stop me for sure.
Snogging my missus.
I'm not here to pressurise you.
You're so lovely. Not only is she beautiful, you deserve the best.
You arsehole!
I'll be no-one's option.
He's made me feel so special and he deserved a kiss.
I'm in a villa where I have to live with it. I know it's shit.
Then respect that then! Keenan and Claudia.
She was my rock in here.
I'm gonna miss her so much. We are so close.
You're gonna be fine. Sad he wasn't in here earlier.
Because he would have been a massive addition to the villa.
She lights up every room. She's beautiful inside and out.
We love you guys.
APPLAUSE
CHEERING
Give it up for Claudia and Keenan, everyone!
It's fair to say that our slow burner Olivia took her time
to find love in the villa, but once Maxwell arrived
it seemed things were finally speeding up.
Will it last or will their heads turn? I can't wait to find out.
Please welcome Olivia and Maxwell!
CHEERING
Welcome to Aftersun, guys.
You look stunning. How are you feeling?
Good. Amazing. Good to be home.
You have a lovely glow to you. Thank you.
Back in London, is it surreal? Really weird,
getting used to it and being home and not being mic'd up all the time.
We were whispering when we got back.
Not being able to go to the shop, people recognising you.
It's so nice to be back. It's been amazing.
My trip to Tesco yesterday was a joy.
LAUGHTER
All right, let's talk about the elimination.
The public voted you as the least compatible couple,
how did that feel?
In the moment we were a little bit surprised.
I think we'd been having such a great time together.
The day before I had a chat with the boys and they were like,
you guys look so happy, enjoying yourself and getting along.
In the moment, a shock, but it is what it is.
It's hard, but bitter sweet, because we left on such a high,
making things exclusive.
I think we were just happy. If we had left in a week,
that wouldn't have changed anything.
Just like they said.
They were voted least compatible at one point,
look at them now, still going strong.
Absolutely.
You had a lot of love interests while you were in there.
Yeah. At the beginning you were in a triangle with Tom and Zara,
which feels like ages ago. So long ago now.
How did you feel, if you can remember, about that going on?
Back then, it was such an intense situation.
I feel like, you know, I wish me and Zara
hadn't gone against each other.
Because I feel like we did clash in there.
But we actually really get on.
I'm so happy that we squashed everything before we left.
I think she's an amazing girl. I can't wait to see her.
Tom, that one didn't happen. Then we moved on to Kai.
When did you realise you two had a connection?
On the first day, you did step forward for Kai.
Yeah, I think people thought it was random coming out of nowhere,
but I did pick him on the first day.
So that attraction from me was always there.
I think, yeah, we just had a chat and then we were like,
oh, well maybe this could be more than friends.
Yeah, we gave it a good go, but, yeah...
Didn't happen. Didn't happen. But it's fine.
And Maxwell, you joined the show in Casa. What attracted you to Olivia?
What made you guys come together?
I think the first thing she keeps it very real.
She's not afraid to speak her mind.
WHOOPING
Couple whoops for that one.
It's intense in Casa, did you go in there with someone in mind
or were you open for everybody?
Definitely. I had Olivia in my mind from the beginning.
From going in there, the first conversation that we had,
we had a great time talking, it flowed, it was easy.
We had a lot more in common than we thought we would.
Just from there just continued to grow. It was great.
Fab.
When you brought Maxwell back to the villa,
how did you feel when you realised Kai had done the same thing?
It was confusing.
I've watched that clip back and I put my hands up.
I'm such a hypocrite. Honestly, I do.
That was hypocritical of me.
In the moment you know, it's so intense.
Emotions are high, there were real feelings there.
I was so nervous to come back with you.
And, yeah, I'm just happy me and Kai have sorted it all out.
I said to him, thank you so much for being a big part of my journey.
Sanam, we have a nice friendship. She's such a lovely girl.
I just wish them all the best really.
CHEERING
We have got to talk about Casey,
Maxwell, doing a bit of, did you a bit dirty.
Just a little bit.
You both had a conversation and you were the only one
that got the smoke for it. What do you feel about that?
I mean, in the moment, I didn't really know quite what was going on.
I was confronted with everything and I thought, what is happening here?
When we were having that conversation, it was very much,
he was expressing his thoughts and feelings.
I said, I hear you. I do think certain things are a bit strange.
That was it. All of a sudden, everything was just on me.
I thought wow, this is crazy. Took all the heat.
How do you feel about Jessie now?
With Jessie, it was never a thing of she's fake.
Me personally, I know that's what was going round the villa.
I never said she was fake. I think she's a lovely person
and she has such great energy. It was a thing of certain actions
were a bit strange. That's what the discussions were focused on.
When it went round, saying that I was saying she was fake,
I was a bit like, hold on, this ain't quite what it is.
Yeah, I think we were seen as scapegoats in that situation.
Quite a lot of people in the villa had that opinion.
I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus.
Yeah, it was an opinion we didn't want to raise.
We hoped it would be a thing
where she would prove us wrong on the outside.
I really like Jessie as a person.
Hopefully, things will work out for them.
Lastly, is there anything looking back that you would have
done differently? Or are you happy with the journey?
I feel like I stayed true to myself, all the way through.
For example, on movie night,
none of the girls reacted, because I told them that day
that I thought they forgave the boys way too quickly.
So yeah, I wouldn't do anything differently.
So that was all discussed before?
Yes, because I think the reaction from Samie, it wasn't to that clip.
Yeah, so...
OK. Yeah.
You both provided so much entertainment,
we thank you for that. Here are your best bits.
Wow, this is so stunning.
Kai. We have got a steal.
Kai. It was sweet while it lasted.
Oh, my God. Tom is very nice.
What a pickle. I'm actually not two-faced, I'm very straight up.
I didn't want to completely shut that door. I'm a grown woman.
Are you married? Get over yourself.
I just want to have a good time. Cheers to good vibes,
beautiful people and getting on the job.
Olivia.
I'm happy.
Still hung up on Tom. Give it another chance.
Kissed today.
It's people's feelings. You are more my type.
CHEERING
I hope I got those pulses racing.
I don't know what more I can do.
How are we doing? We all right?
You're definitely my type.
Such a breath of fresh air. Missing me already?
Just got to stay out of each other's way. Good morning, you sexy people.
It's going in the right direction.
Second time lucky. Or sixth time for you.
Nice to have one-on-one time.
That tops any date I've had in here. Me and Maxwell to the end.
There's no other girl I would rather put my lips on.
Hello, gorgeous. Hello.
If I were 20, would you still like me? No.
I'm really enjoying the way things are going.
Olivia and Maxwell.
I found what I came looking for.
Maxwell was an angel.
Him and Olivia is such a good couple together.
Olivia was my OG. I'm going to miss her.
She was my girl in here, my sister. I love her.
I love you, Olivia.
Make some noise for Olivia and Maxwell, everybody.
CHEERING
Do you fancy sticking around for a chat as well? Yeah. Yes.
The ranking game rattled everybody.
With the final around the corner,
it is fair to say that they are all on edge.
Let's begin with Tom and Samie.
They seemed to have come out of the challenge unscathed,
has this boosted their confidence in the villa?
No bad news that day? What do you think?
You know when you're voted hottest couple and that's it.
You're like, "I'm probably going to win this."
I feel like the confidence is oozing.
Now you see Tom getting a bit more involved in people's business.
Samie's like she needs to know. He feels secure.
Samie's now going, she needs to know.
I feel like they're really confident
in the fact that they can be so fully themselves.
Which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing.
Olivia, what do you think of them as a couple?
I love them as a couple. They're both great. Tom's really sweet.
Samie is fiery, but a cracker.
She's a fiery cracker. I think they'll last, yeah.
They seem to be in the middle of this Ron drama at the moment.
Why do they have so much to say about it?
Anyone?
I have just been noticing, when people get in this villa,
these people, when people get comfortable in their relationship,
they feel like they can start having opinions
on other people's relationships. You feel secure and yeah,
"I'm the best couple right now so I can tell you how to behave."
So, it's giving a bit of that. I'm not really sure.
I don't know why people aren't minding their business.
But it is what it is.
Sanam and Kai now. Let's talk about them. They became exclusive.
CHEERING
Last week, on Aftersun, it was the people's favourites.
Everyone in the audience and everyone here
said could be potential winners.
Are they going to drop the L bomb, family say, maybe soon?
Yes. Yes.
I agree. He's already basically said it.
"Are you gonna tell me you love me?"
I think they're both terrified of it.
And that's how I know it's so real.
You know when she was like, I don't want to say it,
because I don't want to get hurt. You're like, just say it!
They're so far removed from all the drama.
I don't think they care. That was it.
My next question is, they have stayed clear of the drama.
Maybe it's given them a happy corner.
It's cute.
I think it's proof that, like,
Sanam came in and if you asked me three weeks ago
would Kai be in my top two couples, I would have said no.
Now it's surprised me. They are really sweet together.
They both build each other up. I love that about them.
Tanya and Shaq now. Tanya and Shaq
have had probably the maddest journey out of everyone.
It was like golden couple.
Then whoa. Then meh and now huh?
What do we think of them now?
They were in the bottom three, four.
Then they were top three for game playing couple,
Maxwell, are you surprised?
I was surprised they were in the bottom four.
I was a bit surprised.
I mean, being there with them, they have so much fun together.
They're like two little kids. They're obsessed with each other.
They have such a great time.
I feel like, they had a blip in Casa,
but I think it made them a lot stronger.
They're beautiful people. They are amazing people. Yeah.
Do we see them working on the outside?
Everybody. Are they going to last outside the villa?
You're shaking your head?
I think so. Maybe.
Joining us live from South Africa, are you lot all right there? Yeah.
Just having a tussle. It is Tom, please give him a warm welcome.
CHEERING
Tom, welcome to Aftersun, how are you?
I'm very well, thank you, how are you?
Fantastic, thank you. It looks like
you've been having the best time in there.
How would you sum up your experience?
Honestly, probably the best experience of my life.
Meeting all these people, all these emotions and stuff.
Yeah, something I would never change for the world,
I'm so glad I've done it. It's been amazing. Love that.
We are going to play a little game. I'm going to read out
a statement about one of your fellow Islanders.
All you have to do is tell me if you think it's the truth or a lie.
Ready? I'm ready.
OK, time starts now, Rosie has had sex on a boat in the ocean
is that truth or a lie?
Lie. It's true.
Ron has never used a chat-up line, true or lie?
Lie. That's actually true.
Kai can do a good sheep impression, is that truth or a lie?
Lie. Lie, it is Will.
Lana's worst habit is snoring, truth or lie?
True, I'm sure I've heard Lana snore.
Yes, she's a snorer.
Sanam wears a pair of lucky socks on dates, is that truth or a lie?
I'm gonna say true. Lie.
Casey is the one. Shaq still has a poster
of when he was in a musical at school, true or a lie?
True. That is true!
Tom's got a calendar, that's you, Tom, of yourself in your room,
is that true or a lie?
LAUGHTER
Come on. True. Yeah.
KLAXON
You got four right. Well done.
CHEERING
I don't even want to know about the calendar.
I'll ask you on the reunion. Thank you, Tom. See you later.
Thank you.
CHEERING
So, it is Aftersun exclusive time.
And this one is, chef's kiss. Have a look at this.
Plant a seed in my girlfriend's head,
that I'm playing some sort of game. But, Ron, you said it.
Why are you running with it? I'm not running with nothing.
All I'm saying is that is what you said.
And it can be perceived as weird. Everyone has an opinion here.
I accept that is not how you meant it,
and I understand it now that we've had a conversation about it.
I do accept that, that's fine.
If I get a whiff of anyone talking about this, me being a game player,
if they have got a fucking opinion, they'll say it to me.
If they don't, then it's fucking ratty behaviour. It's pathetic.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Oh, that was like deep East London
versus North London, what are we saying?
What do we think about that, Sam?
As I said, Ron is not my favourite, but I don't understand.
Because he hasn't actually sat there and said, "I have a game plan."
He said, "I can understand why people think
"I feel like I'm cruising."
I don't understand it. Also, let's be honest,
you're near the final, you all have a game plan.
He's just stupid enough to say it.
Everyone's got one. They are needling in on him.
trying to catch him.
A quick last question, who is going to win?
Elz? Win? Samie and Tom.
That's it. That's all we have time for.
I'm joking. You two. Kai and Sanam.
I want Kai and Sanam. But Tom and Sam will win.
So top three? Yeah, they are my top three.
We've got a top three.
Kai and Sanam, Tom and Samie and...
Ron and Lana?
Indiyah?
This has all been great, thank you for watching. Elz, Sam and Indiyah,
make some noise!
Davide and Ekin-Su.
Thank you so much.
