NARRATOR: Previously on Love Island Australia...
the final dates brought romance...
I actually am falling for you, Jess.
To second time lucky.
..and revelations...
I love you. I love you too.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you back. I love you more.
(BOTH LAUGH)
..before Titch got ditched.
SOPHIE: Tina and Mitch, say your goodbyes.
TINA: Bye, guys. OTHERS: Bye!
Send us an invite to your wedding!
Tonight...
# Yeah, I'm in love... #
..it's all fun and games...
# In love... #
(BOTH SCREAM)
..until the islanders meet their in-laws.
Oh, my god!
The real world's a fortune. This is actually real life.
Oh, my god! Mum and Dad!
Mitch, we saw some stuff.
Are you ready for a relationship?
It's fine.
Then...
The moment has arrived.
..the final four couples become the final three.
The couple with the least amount of superfan votes...
will be dumped from the villa tonight.
Who will miss out on 50K?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(THEME MUSIC)
# Handcuffed on a train track
# Five steps forward, taking ten back... #
Who stays on who goes tonight will be decided by the next vote.
Claudia and Austen, please stand up.
# Worked too hard Climbed too many heights
# Might see the blood but that don't mean you won the fight... #
The couple we are going to dump is...
Tina and Mitch.
# Unbreakable
# Nah-nah-nah-nah Nah-nah-nah-nah
# Nah-nah-nah-nah Unbreakable
# Nah-nah-nah-nah Nah-nah-nah-nah
# Nah-nah-nah-nah Unbreakable... #
15 down, eight to go, moon.
Look at us. I know.
Wow. This is so weird.
(ALL SPEAK AT ONCE)
JESS: Group hug.
Top four, baby!
For me to be in the top four is just monumental.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I never thought I'd make it past, like, week one or two,
purely just because the way I am.
I just thought I'd come here, have a bit of fun.
It's so weird.
At least the queue for the shower's gonna be short.
MAN: Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe we'll get some hot water now. (WOMEN LAUGH)
Bittersweet, obviously.
It's really sad to see Tina and Mitch leave.
Everyone at this stage have got solid connections,
solid relationships,
so to see anyone go at this stage is definitely sad.
I was definitely nervous.
I feel like I grabbed your hand so hard...
You did. ..and I, like... I know.
And I grabbed your hand so tight and I was, like, "It's us."
I was shocked.
Obviously, we knew how we voted
but I had no idea how everyone else had voted.
Obviously, you've come in
and, like, they've noticed how tight we are, like, straight away.
If we are already this tight
and it's only been literally four or five days... Mmm.
Imagine if you came in on day one with me. Mmm.
Every day we've been here, we've got stronger and stronger and stronger.
Today, we went from there to there. Do you not feel that? Mmm.
Although my connection with Mads is obviously new,
it's definitely strong
and I'm starting to see things in a different light now.
# Inhibitions What if we let go?
# Would the time move slow?
# Oooh-oooh Oooh-oooh
# In your arms it's sweet as paradise
# Stay with me, there's no good in goodbye... #
Top four! (ALL CHEER)
(EXCLAIMS)
Oh...
# Count my days with you Can we get a taste for the good life
# If we stay awake through the good nights?
# Ain't no time to waste so, you know, I count my days with you
# In your arms it's sweet as paradise
# Stay with me, there's no good in goodbye... #
NARRATOR: As dawn breaks on the penultimate morning,
we're all asking the same burning question.
Does Claudia's ex, Jason, still text her mum?
Anyway, four couples will enjoy their last full day of love and laughter
before facing off in an MMA death match to get into the finale.
Personal thing.
It's perfect. I nailed it.
There you go.
(PHONE BLEEPS) PHOEBE: I got a text!
(OTHERS EXCLAIM)
(GASPS)
JESS: No way!
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my god! We got a text.
We're gonna meet the families! I am so excited.
I'm shitting myself. But I'm so excited.
I'm sweating through my arse.
There's no preparation in what I'm gonna say
but there's definitely preparation in what I'm gonna wear.
Like, I need to win them over with my eyes,
so I'm definitely gonna be putting a blue shirt on today.
Whoo!
Should I wear the polka dot dress? Yeah.
My god, my eyes are proper swollen.
Alright, I'm gonna write a poem for them.
Alright.
What's her mum's name again?
Jess did say that her mother is like the gatekeeper,
so that gives me the impression
that I've got to impress her mum the most
and that's exactly what I'll do.
Debbie...
Oooh, Al's gonna need some assistance here.
Hey, Google, what's the best way to impress a girl's mother?
FEMBOT: I don't think the divorced guy from two reality TV shows
has a snowflake's chance in hell of impressing Jess's mother.
Oh, Google, he's changed.
Don't listen to her, Al.
Just write from your heart and stay away from the eggplant emoji.
AUSTEN: What are you doing? What are you reading?
Are you doing a poem? Yeah.
I'll say, like, something about feelings.
I'll just make it real short and sweet.
Yeah. Oh, no, talk about approval.
I'm gonna talk about approval. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
"Hope I get approval..."
Doodle... (LAUGHS)
"She sucks my doodle..."
(LAUGHS) "Hope I get your approval."
(LAUGHS) Let's not say that.
I guess I'll just speak from the heart and they should love me.
(BOTH EXCLAIM) Oh, no way!
(LAUGHS) No way! Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my god. I'm so nervous but excited.
OK. We've got this, alright?
Oh, we're sweet. We're sweet.
Oh...
WOMAN: Oh, my god! No way!
Hello. Greetings.
WOMAN: Nice to meet you, Al. (LAUGHS)
You look so good, both of you.
Oh, thank you, Mum. Thank you.
Hey, I wrote you guys a poem. Do you want to hear it? A what?
What? OK.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god!
"Oh, hey there, Debbie.
"I hope you're ready to meet your future son-in-law.
"And greetings to you, Vanessa, and I've got to confess to ya
"On how amazing and lucky you are to have a sister.
"She's very special to me
"And we love talking about the birds and the bees..."
(LAUGHS) "..and how she's changed me."
"I can't wait to see you all in person
"And go out for dinner and eat some noodle and get your approval."
(LAUGHS) (WOMEN CHEER AND APPLAUD)
They loved it!
I really like the effort Al put into that poem.
It shows me that he wanted to impress my mum and my sister,
so that means a lot to me.
I've got a question. Al and Jess...
Yeah. Yeah.
..do you see yourselves together to have a long-lasting relationship?
You go.
I personally do.
Are you boyfriend and girlfriend yet?
No, no, we haven't got to that stage yet.
No.
But we don't want to, like, I guess, rush too quickly.
Yeah, and we, like, sort of wanted to see, like...
'cause for us, like, family's everything,
so we just wanted to see if we can get
each other's families' approval first
before we start taking that next step.
What are your plans now after you leave the villa?
We live not too far away from each other,
so we're gonna hang out heaps,
maybe, like, hang out around your place as well.
Yes! Yeah, yeah.
You'll be seeing his face a lot, guys.
My family approves of Al.
It's a big relief, but I knew they would.
WOMEN: Love you.
Oh, my god. That's mad.
They like me. They liked you. I told you.
Yeah. They liked you straight away.
If you really want to win a girl's family over, just write them a poem.
Oh, I'm nervous. So excited.
Al has told me before that his mum is a tough nut to crack
and impressing Al's mum is a make-or-break for us.
It actually makes me nervous now. Are you nervous? Oh, my god.
Watching Al nervous about me meeting his family
made me even MORE nervous!
Oh, no way! Hey.
Hi! (LAUGHS)
Nice to meet you. I'm Nina. Hello. And I'm Wai.
I know Al is my son, obviously. Do you guys miss me?
(LAUGHS) No.
You can stay there forever.
(JESS LAUGHS)
He just sits on the couch, plays PlayStation.
My mum brings him dinner.
Oh, you're so sweet! Jess, are you OK with that?
Well, you know what,
you guys probably think you're throwing me under the bus,
but that's music to her ears... 'cause she does the same thing!
No, don't expose me!
Al's mum sold him out. She chucked him right under the bus.
(LAUGHS) And I was dying.
I was, like, "Don't worry, I already know."
Al, what's something that you don't like about Jess?
Um... (LAUGHS)
When she gets angry, she gets really angry.
You guys, like, had an argument. What was the argument about?
I'm a bit of a jealous person.
So Al's a little bit flirty.
He's got a flirty personality,
so when I heard that Al was flirting with other girls,
I obviously got, like, really jealous.
I had my guard up a little bit. Mmm.
As soon as his mum and his sister brought up the argument,
I knew straight away I just had to take accountability for my actions,
which I feel like I owed it to them.
We've addressed that... We have.
..and she's gonna be working on that.
So I'm glad it's happened and I've seen it.
Yeah, yeah, but that sounds, you know, like...
That sounds fair. (LAUGHS) Yeah. Yeah.
You know, what you've got, you can just bring the best out of him.
I never teach him the shoey part.
(LAUGHS)
I thought it was gonna taste like feet but it tasted sweet.
Just remember, both of you are still young.
You have a journey to go. Yeah.
So enjoy it.
Alright. Bye.
Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Aw!
Dude, your mum's so cute!
Yours and mine are like the same, eh?
Yeah, I feel like our parents are the same. Wow.
I do believe this is a step in the right direction for Jess and I.
It's only uphill from here.
Oh, my god. That was so good.
NARRATOR: Now, either Claudia's very nervous
that Austen's about to meet her family
or those spicy tandoori burritos aren't sitting so well.
CLAUDIA: I'm shitting myself.
Damn burritos.
Obviously, Claudia cares a lot about her family's opinion
and is anxious for the first meeting to go off without a hitch.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. It's gonna be fine.
OK. Yeah. It'll be fine.
It'll be so fine.
Hey, Google, what's the best way
for Austen to make a great first impression?
FEMBOT: Austen should just be himself.
Oh, and also make sure the first thing her mum sees
isn't him groping her darling daughter.
Actually feel my heart.
Oops. Too late.
(SCREAMS) (LAUGHS)
Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
My baby girl! Oh, no!
Baby girl, Mummy misses you so much.
Claudia, Claudia, Claudia, Claudia...
This is my sister!
Ah, yeah, Claudia was...
You know, she started crying straight away
as soon as she saw, you know, her mum and her sister.
I know that Claudia was very family-orientated,
so, like, it was, in a way, kind of beautiful to see that, you know,
she had this close connection with them.
I just want to say, before we start,
Emma, you have raised an absolutely beautiful daughter.
Like, honestly, you should be so proud.
Like, she... Oh, she's amazing.
So, yes, thank you. Inside and out.
Absolutely beautiful.
Whereabouts are you from? I'm from Sydney.
How do we feel about Adelaide?
Yeah. He's very open to it.
I'm very, very open. So, tell me, what...
So your plans are you're gonna be spending a bit of time in Adelaide
and Claudia's gonna spend some time in Sydney?
Yes. Yes, but, Ma, in all honesty...
(LAUGHS) You're gonna hate me.
Ma, you have to realise, Sydney's sounding really good.
Oh, my god. I was, like, panicking really hard.
Absolutely shitting bricks, because you want to make a good impression.
I haven't... Honestly... (LAUGHS)
No, no, OK, listen, listen, Emma, I'm so sorry.
No, listen... It's not him. It was me.
It's not... I'm genuinely...
Like, I'm saying I'm open to the decision of moving to Adelaide.
I genuinely am because... Yeah.
..I feel as if I'm not gonna find another girl like Claudia,
so I am, from the bottom of my heart, I am...
I want to move. I want to move for Claudia.
And he's saying that and he's seen every crazy side of me so far.
Everything. He's seen the Sicilian side, yeah.
Everything.
Trust me, I've seen it all.
But, you know, I like her for everything,
for her flaws and, you know, for her beauty.
Yeah, I am.
No, I'm over the moon. I'm honestly so happy.
I've actually never felt this good in my life.
Like, it just feels amazing.
We love you! (BOTH BLOW PARTY FAVOURS)
(LAUGHS) There's Elliot.
I cannot wait to meet both of youse and all your family.
Bye. Love you so much.
See you soon.
I knew they would like Austen straight away.
He is the most perfect guy for me
and they could see that from a mile away.
FEMBOT: What about Jason?
NARRATOR: Shut up, Google!
Oh, my god! (LAUGHS)
Are you OK?
(CRIES)
WOMAN: I think you need a tissue.
(CRIES)
It's OK.
(CRIES)
Oh, my god.
I'm good. How are you, Dad? Sorry...
Claudia, this is my dad Ambrose.
And this is my mum, Romina.
Hello. Nice to meet you. This is Claudia.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god.
Nice to meet you, Ambrose. How are you? (LAUGHS)
He's just the most perfect guy ever, ever for me.
I mean, he has not messed up once.
He has been the most loyal person.
It's just blown me away.
Thank you. Thank you.
Very proud. (LAUGHS)
Yeah. Yeah, we've said I love you to each other.
AMBROSE: Do youse? (LAUGHS) Yeah.
(LAUGHS) Austen! What's...
Yeah, Dad was super surprised that I said 'I love you'
but I kind of explained to them that, you know, like,
when you're in the villa, one day is so much longer than you think.
The thing is, like, it's very different when you're here.
It's like, when you're with someone 24/7 every day,
you share a bed with them, like...
Yeah.
So I think he was definitely a bit shocked by it
but I think he understood.
(BOTH LAUGH)
That's my sister. Hello!
(LAUGHS)
I've told them a lot about you guys.
A lot. A lot. So much. Yes.
So nice to meet you guys.
Thank you.
Thanks, Dad.
I love and miss youse all.
Bye. (LAUGHS)
Oh, my god. (LAUGHS)
Seeing each other's families has made this, what Austen and I have,
so much more real because it's, like, legitimate now.
It's given such an insight into what the outside's gonna look like
and we are so excited for it.
MADDY: I'm excited.
NARRATOR: Yes, Callum had his fun before finding someone special
but this is the big one, his ultimate test,
making it through the video call without hitting on Maddy's sisters.
Oh, fuck. (MOCK-HYPERVENTILATES)
(WOMEN SCREAM)
Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
That's my sisters.
Hey! Hey.
WOMAN: What's been happening? WOMAN: Fill us in.
It's been good.
I feel like Callum's had a longer journey than I have.
But it's going well. Yeah. Yeah.
It's been really good and I've had the best experience.
So you were with another girl before, Callum... Yeah.
..so we wanted to see, like, you know, what was different about Maddy?
Yeah, so my connection with Layla, yeah, it was pretty strong, like,
but, like, as soon as Mads came in,
like, it was already, like, so much better
because, like, we just bounce off each other so well.
Straight away.
Like, we don't take each other too seriously or anything.
And we just have a laugh. So I felt like...
It just felt really comfortable with Mads,
like, pretty much from, like, day dot.
Yeah, I wouldn't have cried
if Layla and I didn't have a strong connection when she left
but the fact that me and Mads have been together
for a lot shorter period
and we've got so much stronger already just goes to show
that my connections with Mads is a lot stronger than Layla's.
There's a couple of things that she frustrates me about.
Like, obviously, like, little things
but, like, when she's getting ready, she just takes ages getting ready...
(LAUGHS) ..like, doing her make-up and stuff.
That's no surprise.
And I have a little bit of OCD with, like, my cupboards and stuff
and I saw her cupboard yesterday
and she's just thrown all her dresses and everything in there.
That wrecks me too.
(LAUGHS) But other than that, she's pretty good. (LAUGHS)
Callum, I can see how happy you make my sister and...
Yeah. Mads, we're just so proud of you.
Oh, I love you guys.
Tick of approval. Tick of approval!
We love you, love you so much. We're so proud.
Love you, guys. Nice to meet you both.
Love you. See you. Bye. Bye.
Yeah, they give me the tick of approval already,
so I must've used my Welsh charm there
and, yeah, won them over pretty soon, so that's always a good sign.
MAN: Hello. Heya!
(LAUGHTER)
This is Mads. This is my mother Liz.
Hello, Liz. And that's my dad Phil.
Hi, Phil. Nice to meet you.
How are you? How's it been?
Yeah, it's been bangin'. It's been so good.
Yeah, every day has just been mega. Like, it's been so good.
I told you.
Mads?
Me? No. Callum. Callum.
Not me. I knew that was coming.
It's not even my fault, though. It's everyone else.
Everyone else is swearing. Oh! It's wearing off on me.
(LAUGHS)
I can't... Yeah, it's not me, Ma. I promise.
(BOTH LAUGH)
It looks as if you've got a lot in common
and you have the same interests.
Yeah. Yeah. Like, I feel like, obviously... You get on well.
Yeah, like, I've been in here
and there's been loads of girls coming through and stuff...
Loads of girls... (LAUGHS)
Everyone's been, like, yeah, getting to know everyone and I have...
Your dad's shaking his head. (LAUGHS)
No, he doesn't like... (BOTH LAUGH)
But, yeah, there's been, like, loads of girls coming through
and I haven't, like, had a spark with anyone
but then, like, Mads came in and...
Yeah, because I feel like, yeah, we just, like, clicked straight away.
Yeah. Like, we have such similar personalities.
And it's been really good. Yeah.
We can see. I can see. Yeah. Yeah.
She humbles me. I need that. My ego's too big.
He needs humbling. His head's about to explode.
Yeah. Yeah. Why are you nodding?
Your ego's just as bad as mine. (BOTH LAUGH)
The fact that Mads and my parents could have, like,
a proper conversation, have lots of giggles and laughs and stuff,
just was so nice for me to see
'cause I don't introduce girls to my parents.
That's something I just don't do. I've never done it.
That to me is something so special.
Alright. Yeah, enjoy the rest of the experience.
Bye. Thank you so much. It was so nice to meet you.
See you soon. Good luck.
Bye. Take care.
Look after yourselves. We'll hopefully see you soon.
Yeah, we'll see you soon. Bye-bye.
Bye! Thank you.
Bye. See you. (LAUGHS)
It was, like, the most wholesome experience ever.
Life, I've got goose bumps even just saying it. Like...
So warming to me and I feel, yeah, blessed and happy
and, yeah, it's just amazing.
NARRATOR: Coming up...
Is this a long-term plan? Like...
Us?
..Mitch cops a grilling.
Mitch, are you ready for a relationship?
Um...
I was so nervous 'cause, you know, I've never met a girl's family,
so I want to look like a bit more, you know, put-together.
NARRATOR: Mitch and Phoebe are the last couple
to meet each other's loved ones.
Hey, Google, any advice for our final flames?
FEMBOT: I think this joke ran out of steam some time ago.
Yep. Fair. Fair.
Oh... We're gonna be fine. Just... It's gonna be so fine.
Oh... Mitty.
What?
Wow. What's happening?
How are you, bruz? Are you good? I'm good.
How are you guys? Good.
That's my brother. Is that your brother?
And that's my dad's best mate.
Oh, my god!
Have you got a girlfriend now, bro? I do. I've got a girlfriend.
That's crazy.
Do you know this is his first girlfriend?
I have heard that. I feel very privileged.
Where are Mum and Dad?
They're away on holiday.
But they have left a video for you.
Oh, really?
Hi there, Mitty and Phoebe.
They're on the Fiji islands.
Well, I just wish you guys all the best.
Mitty, it's not quite being a Power Ranger but...
(LAUGHS)
..you're just gonna have to settle for this.
And we look forward to seeing you guys really soon.
(LAUGHS) Aw.
Yeah, hi, guys. Hi, Mitty.
We miss you so much but we're so stoked for you.
You guys look like an awesome couple.
So we just wish you the best over the next few days
and hopefully we will be celebrating with you soon.
Take care and enjoy the ride.
Love you. Love you!
Bye. Aw!
You can't hear me, but love youse!
That's so sweet!
Oh, my god. Your mum's a MILF. What the hell!
Seeing Mitch's parents in the video was so sweet.
Like, it was just so nice to hear them talk, like, say my name,
like, they know who I am.
Like, their whole vibe, I'm obsessed with.
Now for the nerve...
I wish... No. No. That's good.
I was so nervous just because, you know, I want to look, you know,
a bit smarter than I am.
I want to look, like, a bit more, you know, put-together.
It's fine. (EXHALES)
Oh, my god! It's my mum and dad! (BOTH LAUGH)
Oh, my god! Hey!
Hi! How are you guys?
We haven't seen your face for ages. Oh, how are you guys?
Yeah, really good. We miss you, though.
Aw, I miss you too! (LAUGHS)
No crying. Happy tears, happy tears.
We saw some stuff. So, it looks like you're having fun.
Yeah. (LAUGHS) What did you guys see?
I'm a bit nervous for what you've seen.
I can see that you're now official, dating.
BOTH: We are.
Yeah. I've got a boyfriend. What the hell!
So, Mitch, are you ready for a relationship?
Like, your first girlfriend...
Yeah, I know it seems like I'm not ready but I definitely am.
Like, I don't just chuck the word around.
We don't argue.
We literally have not had an argument.
Yeah.
Besides the... Besides...
I've put him in his place, though, as well.
I did have a wandering eye for about a little bit but you sorted me out.
Yeah.
And she didn't let me forget it and she made me sleep on the couch.
I put him in the doghouse. She did.
I'm like you, Mum. Tiger mum.
She's tough, but I like that because I need to be put in my place.
Well, like mother, like daughter, I'm afraid.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
So... Well, is this a long-term plan?
Like... To us? Us?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, very, very long-term. Yeah. (LAUGHS)
My parents have been together since they were, like, 14
and they're still in love now.
They're, like, so in love and I just had that, like,
to look up to my whole life
and, you know, I just didn't want to just, like,
get any girlfriend, you know.
And honestly, you're, like, the most amazing girl I've ever met.
(EXCLAIMS)
Like, honestly, she's one of the boys.
She could be one of the girls.
Not long ago, my mum said that she's more in love with my father now
than she ever has been, so when you have role models like that
for a relationship kind of role model,
you know, you don't just settle for anyone.
You want that... You want the next girl
that you ask to be your girlfriend
to be the only girlfriend you ever have,
so Phoebe could definitely be my first and final girlfriend,
fingers crossed.
You both look happy. It's good. Thank you.
You guys made this really easy for me.
(LAUGHS) I was a bit stressed.
But, no, this has been so good. That wasn't the plan, Mitch.
(BOTH LAUGH) I'm much more excited now.
Well, we can see Phoebe's happy, so that's the main thing.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, I've never met a girl's family so formally like that,
you know, so, yeah, it makes it so much more real.
Well, look, we can't wait to see you both and meet you, Mitch.
Thank you. I can't wait to meet you guys.
Same. Yeah. I love you guys. Good luck.
I'm honestly so happy.
Like, nothing can beat this happiness.
Thanks, guys. I love you.
And I'll speak to you soon! Love you.
See you soon. Don't worry.
(BLOWS KISSES) Ciao. Bye.
Bye-bye. Bye.
That went so well.
(LAUGHS) So good.
This is such a nice feeling.
I was, like, "Wow, like, I have a boyfriend
"and he's met my parents already."
It's, like, "Whoa."
Aw! I was, like, "Oh, my god, I've gotta say something smart."
And I was, like, "What's a smart thing to say?"
No, you were literally perfect. Everything you did was perfect.
Reckon? I can tell.
NARRATOR: The islanders are glowing.
They know meeting a partner's loved ones
is a lot like doing impersonations at a comedy club.
Everything hinges on a great first impression.
How good was that!
That is such a good feeling. I can't believe that.
That's, like, crazy... Like, it's just, like, endorphin...
It feels like it's just endorphins...
It feels like the real world, kind of. I know!
It's exciting, it's very exciting
because now it's, like, OK, the real world's approaching.
This is actually real life.
JESS: I feel like I'm so much closer to you now...
AL: Yeah. ..after that. Oh, me too.
I just feel like after, like, meeting your mum and your sister
and then watching you with my mum and my sister,
I just feel really drawn to you now.
Like, I feel really close with you.
Yeah, me too 'cause family's a big deal and... Yeah.
..and seeing your slot in there, get along with them really well...
Off on the right foot. Yeah.
Good first impressions. Yeah.
Meeting Al's family and Al meeting mine
just solidified how we would work on the outside.
I can't stop smiling. Same.
AUSTEN: I feel so much more relaxed now.
CLAUDIA: Same. I was so uptight before.
Like, you know, like... (GRUNTS) "Fuck."
I already know I'm gonna love them.
(PHONE BLEEPS)
I got a text!
(OTHERS CHEER)
Whoo! Whoo!
Yew-yew-yew!
No way!
MADELINE: Let's hit the beach. #HotGun. #BallsUp.
(ALL CHEER)
That's so cool!
(LAUGHS)
I love going to the beach!
We get a day out!
Day out. We're gonna play volleyball.
I said I want to go to the beach with you. I know.
Everything I'm manifesting is coming true.
Enjoy it, guys.
In 36 hours, you'll be on a grand economy flight back home.
Yay!
But first it's time to annoy the local beachgoers
and play some volleyball.
Double yay!
# You kiss me like summer... #
Oooh, they're playing European rules volleyball.
# Kiss me like summer when I fall for you... #
Absolutely destroy them, OK? We want to rip them a new one.
Be ruthless. They're not your friends anymore.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
Sophie Monk on three!
One, two, three! Whoo!
Let's go get them, boys. Come on, get them.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
(AL GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
# Ain't nobody that can run it like this
# Clap twice if you know what the feeling is... #
Like every Love Island game ever, there are no discernible rules
and the outcome is totally irrelevant.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
But the kids seem happy.
Triple yay!
(SCREAMS) Yay!
(LAUGHTER)
We're gonna go back to the villa for a girls' night!
Bye! Whoo!
(MEN LAUGH)
Coming up...
(PHONE BLEEPS) Oh! I got a text!
No way!
"Tonight is the final dumping. One couple will be going home.
"The other three will be in the grand finale
"and one of them will win $50,000."
To be dumped tonight would just be heartbreaking.
So close to the finish line.
Oh, my god. I did not want this night to happen.
# Hearts racing at the speed of light... #
NARRATOR: In a cruel twist courtesy of our producers,
the loved-up couples have been separated.
It's just not right!
The girls are utterly devastated.
I know! We got the villa tonight! (WOMEN CHEER)
Having the villa to ourselves - cracker.
So, face masks, ladies.
Are you taking your make-up off? Yeah.
Can I please borrow one of those wipes? Mmm.
Are you sure these aren't Femfresh wipes?
Oh, fuck off. Fuck off.
Because it's in Spanish. Oh, no.
Doesn't that mean flower? Isn't this a flower?
Tell me these are for your vagina.
We need a Spanish speaker!
(NARRATOR SPEAKS SPANISH)
Chamomilla...
That looks like a flower. This would be a flower.
Uh-oh.
Well, you know what, if it's good for my va-jay it's good for my face.
Yeah. Vagina wipes for everyone.
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
# Showing up, stepping out Ready to love again
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
# Wanna dance, wanna shout Ready to love again... #
On the eve of the finale,
the boys think it's the right time to start discussing their feelings.
Austen goes first, as he's wearing the talking hat.
So, how are we feeling?
Our journeys in the villa, it's coming to an end.
I feel like our journeys are all pretty similar.
We came in completely different to how we're leaving.
Yeah. I agree.
Yeah, before coming in here, you know, I was...
My expectations were I'd be bouncing around different girls.
Yeah. Probably coupled up a couple of times.
But, yeah, from day one, I met Jess
and she's got that infectious attitude and puts a smile on my face.
I feel like I'm same as Al.
Like, I'm a completely different guy.
Like, from the day I walked into that villa to now,
like, I don't recognise myself. Yeah.
I don't even recognise the way I think about girls,
like, talk to girls... Yeah. ..you know.
I feel like, you know, the big thing for me is, like,
putting myself out there and being more vulnerable.
Yeah. Yeah, bro.
It's such a big word in the villa.
Everyone's so vulnerable. Vulnerable, yeah.
I never used it before I came in here. Yeah. Yeah.
I came in here not knowing how to love someone or what love was
to literally walking out with a woman
that I have fallen in love with.
Wow. Crazy. Crazy.
Phoebe's done so much and had so much patience with me
and really taught me how to just, like,
chill out and be a great guy, you know.
MEN: Yeah.
And I feel like we all owe it to those girls, you know.
They've done a lot for us.
Back at the villa, the girls also reflect
on how the boys have melted their hearts -
and in Jess's case, her face.
Alright, guys. OK.
Cheers to making it to the final four.
Mm-hm.
We have found our guys. Oooh!
And we also found each other. Aw!
Cheers. Cheers to that.
I love you guys. I love you guys so much.
Love you all.
I love having girls' day.
It's really nice having the villa to ourselves.
What's the...
Like, what's the biggest lesson you're gonna take away from here?
I would say one of the biggest ones
is it's OK to, like, take a risk and... Mmm.
..do what you want to do for once and not think about everyone else.
And also, don't be so psycho.
(LAUGHTER) That's another... Yeah.
Times two. (LAUGHS) Yeah. We all agree on that.
I think I've grown a lot as a person.
I'm definitely more mature and I have Austen to thank for that.
Like, when Al and I had an argument,
I think it was a massive reality check for me to be, like...
Just watching Al, like, shut down, like, made me realise,
like, "Jess, you can't...
"You can't say those things and you can't act on emotion,
"otherwise you're gonna really hurt people."
So I think in summary what I've learnt the most out of being here
is not to be a psycho and to be more vulnerable.
Yeah. Beautiful.
Yeah! We're back, baby.
Look out, Backstreet's back, alright!
Little joke for over-45s there.
Yep, the boys are back with gifts
they clearly bought on the back streets.
What have you guys got behind your back?
You guys look suspicious. What is it? Is it wine?
Is it a gift? What is it?
You got souvenirs?
AUSTEN: Oh, I gave Claudia a gift today.
It was really... It was really from the heart, you know.
I know she would love it.
This is my souvenir to you.
Oh... (LAUGHS)
..my god!
What the hell, Austen!
What the fuck is this?! (LAUGHS)
It's a beer opener, I'm just letting you know.
Yes. It's not a dick.
Thank you. I'm gonna use this for all my beer that I drink. Yeah.
PHOEBE: Oooh.
MITCH: That's for you.
Yeah.
I love it. And it says Mallorca on it.
It's 'May-orca'. No, that's spelt Mallorca.
Yeah, that's how you spell 'May-orca'.
There are two silent Ls in Mallorca? Mm-hm.
That's just confusing.
AL: Put a photo of me and you so we can tell our grandkids, you know...
(LAUGHS) Our grandkids...
Because we already met and that's me and your grandmother...
Your hot grandma.
OK. Three, two, one. Ta-dah!
Oh! I got you a little Mallorca hat.
That's so cute!
Because I thought your grey one that you've already got is a bit mingin',
so I thought I'd replace it with a glossy...
And I did get the one with the diamonds in there as well
because I think that's more your style, do you know what I mean?
Like, diamantes.
MITCH: Mallorca. Mallorca represent!
Do you like it, Phoebs? PHOEBE: I do.
It gives me Britney Spears vibes. I know.
That's hot. Britney Spears vibes?
Not Britney Spears... Paris... Paris Hilton.
Oooh, that's hot. Who's Paris Hilton?
Who's Paris Hilton?
I know a Paris Hilton song.
He just asked "Who's Paris Hilton?" The chihuahua chick.
Yes. "That's hot."
Fuck knows who Paris Hilton is.
I guess she's probably just a French bird. I don't know.
But one of the boys said she had chihuahuas,
so I can only imagine she's a French bird with chihuahuas
that wears diamante hats. (LAUGHS)
NARRATOR: Coming up...
Four amazing couples,
but there are only three spots available in the grand finale.
..the superfans decide at the final dumping.
They were asked, who is your favourite couple?
The couple with the least amount of votes
will be dumped from the villa tonight.
Head to 9now.com.au/loveisland
to catch up on all of this week's flaming-hot moments from the villa
thanks to Oporto.
NARRATOR: This is the last time
the islanders will ever go out onto the Astroturf and go "Whoo!"
Oh, they grow up so fast!
Look at those drinks on that table. Oh, my god!
There's only four! Oh, my god!
That's so sad.
ALL: Cheers!
What for? What for?
I love you guys. Yeah.
Cheers! What a team.
Let's reminisce, eh?
Let's reminisce on all the good times.
What was...
What was everyone's standout memory you had?
Like, me and Callum's bubble bath was definitely a big thing.
(LAUGHTER) That is proper hot.
(PHONE BLEEPS) Oh... I got a text!
(OTHERS EXCLAIM)
Oooh.
CLAUDIA: What a way to kill the mood.
Final dumping has arrived. Time to get down to business.
We've come so far. We fast-tracked everything.
We've come so far. But we haven't rushed anything.
It still happened naturally for us. Yeah.
It's just such a close call.
Everyone has such strong connections in here.
Either way, I'm so happy you came in.
At the end of the day, you've changed my experience in here.
Yeah. You've MADE my experience in here.
CLAUDIA: I am really fricken scared that we're gonna go home.
Like, I'm really scared.
It's terrifying.
You just don't know what's gonna happen.
You know, top three is just, like,
a celebration of the most loved-up couple and I do believe that...
I don't care what anyone else says,
I do believe that we are the strongest.
Me too.
Not many people get to say that they coupled up with someone on day one
and managed to, like, last this whole journey with the same person.
Our journey's not over.
Day one together, last day together.
Mmm.
To be dumped tonight would just be heartbreaking, you know.
We're so close, so close to the finish line.
JESS: You know, it could be us leaving.
I just feel like being in here with you, we've really grown.
We've come so far
and I don't feel like it's our time to go home tonight.
I'm really, really nervous. I'm really nervous.
(AUSTEN EXHALES)
I want to stay here so bad.
CLAUDIA: Oh, my god.
I do not want this night to happen.
I'm so in love with this girl.
PHOEBE: Feel very, very sick walking down to the fire pit tonight.
I just don't want to leave the place that made me the happiest.
Somebody's gonna have to get dumped tonight.
We just cherish every last moment we've got in here.
NARRATOR: Final dumping is nigh. The last two will be sunk.
Google, what's the last line?
FEMBOT: Let's bring on the Monk.
# Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
# Greet the flames We come ablaze
# Wildfire... #
SOPHIE: Good evening.
MAN: Good evening, Sophie.
# Greet the flames We come ablaze
# Wildfire... #
How you all going? CONTESTANTS: Good.
Yeah? Great day.
I heard you met your partners' families today.
Yes.
That's pretty heavy. Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Hands up who thought they made a great impression.
Oh, yeah.
Put your hand up. (LAUGHTER)
Hands up who thinks they won't be invited to Christmas dinner.
(LAUGHTER) Really?
OK, guys, the moment has arrived.
I'm sorry to be a fun sponge.
Jessica and Al,
Phoebe and Mitchell...
Claudia and Austen...
and Madeline and Callum.
Four amazing couples,
but there are only three spots available in the grand finale.
The superfans have been watching you
and they were asked the simplest of questions.
"Who is your favourite couple?"
The couple with the least amount of superfan votes
will be dumped from the villa tonight.
Can you all please stand up?
# I've been tried and you know I've been tested
# But I won't let go No, I'll never surrender
# Yeah, I was born for this
# I was born for this... #
Islanders, one at a time,
I will announce who is safe and through to the grand finale.
The names I read are in no particular order.
The first couple through to the grand finale is...
# I tell you, I was born for this
# I was born...
# For this. #
..Claudia and Austen.
Oh, my god. Are you serious?
# I'll give you my love... #
Oh, my god. Are you serious?
(LAUGHS) Sorry. Sorry. Thank you.
Thank you. Oh, my god.
What the hell!
I'm genuinely so shocked.
Like, this is one of the first time I'm lost for words.
I know. Yeah.
Like, it's... No, but thank you. Like, thank you.
I can't express how much I love everyone here.
Even the superfans. Mmm.
Like, it's such an honour, so thank you.
Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.
# A second lasting hours
# A minute lasting days... #
The next couple...
# A single moment frozen... #
..through to the grand finale...
# Could end a thousand ways... # ..is...
# A moment of a lifetime A chance I cannot miss
# I hear the noise, a silence
# A clearing in the mist... #
..Phoebe and Mitchell.
# 'Cause we're the heroes We have won
# Shining brighter than the sun... #
Oh, my god. Whoa.
(LAUGHTER)
I know what you guys were feeling...
(LAUGHS) Yeah. ..seconds ago.
What's going through your heads?
Oh... I just feel so grateful.
Yeah.
Like, I've found everything I've ever wanted
and now I've gotten to the end.
Yeah, it's good to know that they believe in us and... Yeah.
..and think we should be in the top three, so... Yeah.
..yeah, I'm stoked.
I love you. I love you too.
Congratulations, guys. Thank you.
Love in the air. (LAUGHTER)
Oh...
Jessica and Al, Madeline and Callum,
please, can you come and stand down here?
# I'm on fire
# I'm on fire... #
OK, guys.
The third and final couple
into the grand finale of Love Island 2022 is...
# I'm on fire
# It's in my blood... #
NARRATOR: Sophie is about to announce the final couple
our superfans are sending through to the grand finale.
Will it be Maddy and Callum or Jessica and Al?
SOPHIE: OK, guys.
The third and final couple
into the grand finale of Love Island 2022 is...
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh Do you feel it?
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh Do you feel alive? #
It's Madeline and Callum.
It's cool. It's OK. We did good.
Congratulations. AL: Keep going on, man.
You've got this, brother. It's fantastic.
CALLUM: I love you, bro.
AL: I want to give you a kiss. (LAUGHS)
Oh, congrats, Callum.
Madeline and Callum, how do you feel?
I don't know. You go first.
I don't have words. I don't have words.
Yeah, I'm just, like, yeah, mesmerising...
That's the word, is it? Yeah.
When you're, like, shocked. Yeah. Yeah, that one.
Surreal. Surreal. Feel like I'm in disbelief.
Yeah.
The fact that I've made it to the top three is, yeah, that word...
Was it mesmerising? Yeah.
I don't think that's the right...
Isn't it? (LAUGHTER)
You guys can take a seat. Congratulations.
Jess and Al, come over here.
Yeah! (LAUGHS) Well done.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, how do you feel?
Oh, yeah, like, I feel... I feel happy. Like, I'm content.
Like, I came in here to find someone.
I feel like I found it with Al, so...
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, I came here for, like, you know, one thing
and I've got it, so... You've got it.
Oh, you've been gorgeous to watch. Yeah.
Appreciate that.
Jessica and Al, unfortunately,
you received the least amount of superfan votes
and now are dumped from the island.
To the rest of you, congratulations. WOMAN: Thank you.
I will see you tomorrow night for the grand finale...
(LAUGHTER)
..where one of you will win $50,000.
MADDY: Far out.
Night, guys. Goodnight.
Goodnight, Sophie. Goodnight, Soph.
Mwah. Well done.
Thank you so much. So far.
See you tomorrow. Bye-bye, Sophie.
(ALL EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)
AL: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
I'm gonna miss you.
(LAUGHS) I'm gonna cry.
(LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION)
Yeah, I love you.
OK, mate, we'll head up? Let's head up. Let's go.
Let's pack my bags, bro.
Two ten-out-of-ten weapons are leaving the villa.
It is sad.
Honestly, I'm so grateful
that I even crossed paths with these two beautiful people
because they've just added so much to my life and I'm very grateful.
At the end of the day, bro, you're a winner anyway because you're now...
AL: Oh, bro.
You've got a girl, she's met your parents...
Yeah. Do you know what I mean?
Like, you're so... No, I'm content.
As soon as Jess and I really started forming that good connection,
I was, like, whenever I'm leave, I'm happy.
Yeah.
Honestly, I'm just fucking... I'm just grateful, man.
Yeah. I really am.
No, man, like, I feel good
because, like, I have something to work towards now.
Like, I have Al. Like, I left here with Al.
You're coming out of here with Al, yeah. Exactly.
Like, I feel like it would be a different story
if it was going by myself. WOMEN: Yeah.
But I'm going home with Al. Yeah.
And I'm, like... I'm really happy.
Al and I made it to the final four
and it would be really nice to go the mile.
It does suck that we didn't get to
but, I mean, it is what it is, right?
What am I gonna do? You're my mini-me.
You're MY mini-me!
Who am I gonna shave fricken legs for now?
Who's gonna do your bum crack?
Who's gonna do my bum crack before I go have a banquet with Al?
Who's gonna fuckin'... I'm gonna do myself.
I know! (BOTH LAUGH)
I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do with my life.
It's, like, she's my girl. She's my thing.
She's my little mini-me.
Like, we've done this whole thing.
I'm gonna cry. Don't cry.
Like, have you seen us? Absolute ten out of tens.
We don't cry. I love you. You're so cute.
I love you.
I'm gonna cry.
Ah! Yeah!
Love you guys so much. Love you, guys.
So, so proud of you.
Thanks for making our experience... No, I love you all.
Love you guys. Love you!
Whoo!
JESS: You can kiss me.
Bye! Whoo-hoo!
I honestly didn't think I would find someone as amazing as Al.
I went in with one objective,
which is to find someone and mission complete.
I found it. That's it. We're the real winners here.
We're the real winner here. (LAUGHS)
AL: Before I came in here, I said, you know,
if I find a girl that does a shoey with me, she might be the one.
The only one that got to do a shoey with me is beautiful Jess...
Yeah! ..so she is the one.
I'm the one!
NARRATOR: Thanks for the laughs, Al from 'MAFS'.
Love you too, Jess.
SOPHIE: This is it, Australia.
Tomorrow night is the grand finale
and it's time for you to vote for your winners.
NARRATOR: Is it Claudia and Austen?
Is it Phoebe and Mitchell?
Or is it Madeline and Callum?
Head to 9now.com.au/loveisland to have your say.
Voting will close during the grand finale, so vote now.
