Here to celebrate, love, fun, and all
the drama that comes with it.
- All right.
[islanders laughing]
- Welcome, Islanders.
- Hi!
- Hi.
[islanders laughing]
- We will be celebrating with our final four shortly.
But I wanted to say hello to all of you.
How is everyone feeling?
[chatter] - OK.
OK. You sound a little nervous.
It's OK.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
We're here to have fun.
Obviously, we'll get into some things,
but this is the easy part.
Kaylor, how was it coming back to your hometown
after everything?
Are you the most famous person there now?
[islanders laughing]
- No.
It was good.
It was really nice seeing my family
and being home with all my friends,
who have seen me have a crazy, hectic summer.
So yeah, it was really nice and refreshing to have some
hometown love to come back to.
- Hi, Aaron.
- Hi, Ariana. How are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Yeah, good. Good.
- Is your first time in New York?
- This is my first time in New York, yes.
- How are you liking it?
- Yeah, it's pretty good.
Like, people are really cool.
- Are you enjoying seeing everyone again?
- Yeah, I mean, it's good to see everyone.
Like, I was a bit nervous, like, coming in,
but, you know, now I've seen everyone.
So yeah, I'm excited.
- A little bit less nervous?
- Yeah, definitely.
- Daniela, Cassie, how are you feeling today?
- Nervous, but excited.
Happy to be here.
- I'm good.
- Yeah? - I'm relaxed.
[islanders laughing]
- Sarah, Harrison, how are you guys?
- Amazing.
- You both look amazing.
- Thank you. You look amazing.
- Oh, thank you.
[islanders chuckle]
- Cassidy, Nigel?
- Doing good. Doing good.
- Good. - Yeah.
- Just need our popcorn and our drinks.
- Exactly.
Yeah. - I love it.
- Enjoying the show over here. - I love it.
- Yeah.
- Andrea, how are you doing?
- Just fine.
I can't spin. I'm sorry, I'm sitting.
[islanders laughing]
- I love it.
- You know, a lot of feelings, a lot of emotions.
But I'm happy to see everyone.
So it feels good to be here.
- Hannah, what has been the most
surprising thing that's happened
since coming from the villa?
- The amount of hate that I got for my makeup.
- Really?
- It was-- - Not true.
- It was very hurtful.
- You look gorgeous.
- Always.
- I know I'm a bad bitch.
Everybody calls me a bad bitch.
[applause]
- You're absolutely right.
Hey, my lips are overlined for the gods, so.
- That's what I said. I said.
- You and me both, sweetheart.
[islanders chuckle]
- Liv, what's been the best thing about coming
out of this villa?
- I think the friendships.
Like, honestly, I know it sounds cringey and stuff.
But, like, going in, I was like, yeah, yeah, like,
I'll be friends with these people.
But I didn't think, like, the extent to, like,
how good of friends they are.
And I feel like people don't understand, like, how
hard it can be at some times.
And the only people that really get it are the people here.
So coming out of the villa and especially I
feel like this season, it's good to have those people there
and to be able to, like, lean on them and stuff.
So like the friendships, I'd have to say,
is the best, for sure.
- I know it's Love Island, but I still feel
like Friendship Island is--
- Ride or die.
Yeah.
[islanders laughing]
- That's actually really good.
- Friendship Island, baby.
[islanders laughing]
- All right.
Well, we have a lot to discuss.
This reunion would not be complete without our final
four couples.
Is it time to welcome America's favorite couples?
[islanders cheering]
- Ladies and gentlemen, the four finalists
who stole your hearts--
Nicole and Kendall, JaNa and Kenny, Leah and Miguel,
and your Love Island season si winners, Serena and Kordell.

You look adorable.

[islanders chatting]

Are we popping bottles after this?
[islanders laughing]
I mean, we might have to.
- Hi, JaNa and Kenny.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Kenny, you're looking dapper.
JaNa, you're looking absolutely gorgeous.
- Appreciate it. Thank you
- JaNa, did you help Kenny get ready for this today?
- Kenny did it all by himself.
[islanders laughing]
- Good job, Kenny.
Hey, Leah and Miguel.
- Hey. Hey.
- From one horse girl to another,
I have to know, how are the horses?
- They're good.
I literally commented to you on an Instagram post,
did you see it? - No.
- I said, when are we gonna go riding?
- Oh, my god, we have to.
- She's too cool for me, but.
- No.
Well, bitch, I'm here in New York.
[islanders laughing]
- OK, so.
- Hi, Serena and Kordell.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Kordell, I'm dying to know, did
you get the Cheez-It's deal?
- It's official.
[islanders cheering]
- Wow.
Congratulations, Serena and Kordell
on being crowned the winners of Love Island USA, Season 6.
[islanders cheering]
How has life been for you guys since the villa?
- It's been great.
We moved into a new apartment.
So it's just been busy, busy, busy.
You know, trying to, like, you know, get used to things while,
like, getting comfortable in my new home, so.
- I was so excited to see that Kordell asked
you to be his girlfriend.
- Yes!
[islanders cheering]
- Were you expecting it?
- No, I wasn't.
I thought it was just like a regular little date night.
- Oh, what was the date night?
Please, tell us all the details.
- Oh, yes, I had that shit planned out.
[islanders laughing]
It was in the works for a while.
You know, I had reached out to the restaurant to see,
you know, what we can do and put
us in a-- in a special little room for us and us only.
You know, we had a great dinner.
And-- and then I popped the question.
- He asked if he could be my boyfriend.
- She said, no.
- No, I'm just kidding.
I said yes. [laughs]
- Aw.
- You guys are so freaking cute.
- That shit sound corny as fuck.
[islanders laughing]
- It's so cute.
We love it.
Trust me.
I'm so happy for you guys.
Well, it was an unforgettable summer
packed with steamy hookups, dramatic exits, and more
avocado toast than ever.
Before we dive in, let's rewind and see how we got here.
Take a look.
- Oh, shit.
[islanders laughing, chatting]
[upbeat percussion music]
- Love Island gods, help me fall in love.
- It's been a long time since I've opened up to somebody.
And-- - I am different.
- Look at that sexy boy.
- I need a man that's gonna pick me, choose me, love me.
- I want, like, my fairy tale.
- Welcome to Fiji!
Here's to a great summer of love.
[islanders cheering]
(SINGING) Everybody just wants a little love
Everybody just wants a little love
Yeah, yeah, we did it
Learned a little bit, too
Everybody just wants a little love
- That was hot.
- Obviously, I like you.
- I'm happy, happy boy.
- Oh, I almost forgot.
I invited new, sexy women and smokin' hot,
new boys to join the party!
- Fire me up, baby!
- This is sick.
- Oh, my god.
- Oh!
- That guys is a fucking bombshell.
- I'm interested in you.
- You're an amazing woman.
- I feel like my connection with Rob is so much stronger.
- You're a fucking liar.
- I'm in trouble.
[islanders cheering]
- Is this is real life right now?
- Kordell is a great guy.
He's just not my great guy. Ah!
- I'm fucking looking stupid. I'm over here.
I ain't got nothing to say about this girl.
- I'm falling in love with Nicole.
- He kissed me.
But that doesn't change how I feel about you.
- Did you just ask me how I'm fucking feeling?
- I feel blindsided.
(SINGING) Everybody just wants a little love
- The girl we have decided to dump on the island is Andrea.
- No.
What the fuck, y'all?
[islanders laughing]
- I'll see you.
- Nice to see you tonight. Good job.
- Now, you sending three home.
And then you're still here, Bitch, in your overalls.
Now what?
- Whatever you've heard about me, times it by a million.
And if you think it's bad, make it worse.
- Holy shit just hit the fan, baby.
(SINGING) Casa. - Casa.
Casa.
(SINGING) I saw my destiny.
- I'm still thinking about Serena.
Fuck.
(SINGING) Oh, oh
- No way.
- This is bullshit.
- Have some fucking respect because I
told you what the fuck.
- Damn, what did I do?
- I'm fucking done.
(SINGING) I love desire
I saw a destiny
- Fuck, Aaron.
- I'm sorry, I fucked up.
- Seeing that literally broke me so badly.
- You guys are fucking savages.
- It kills me that someone is treating you like this.
- Any girls would be lucky to be with you, bro.
- And you got all of us.
- I know.
(SINGING) Girl, we'll be there
- I've never had sisters.
Now, I feel like I have sisters for life.
- Oh, my god.
- Your time on Love Island is over.
- Girl, I'mma miss all y'all.
- This is my family.
- What matters is I met all these amazing people,
and you guys changed me.
- We love love.
(SINGING) Yeah
- The winners of Love Island USA are--
Serena and Kordell!
[islanders cheering]
Congratulations!
(SINGING) Everybody just wants a little love
Everybody just wants--
- My hair is crazy.
[chuckles]
(SINGING) Everybody just wants a little
love Yeah!
[applause]
[islanders chatting]
- So good. So good.
- All right, Rob, how did it feel watching all of that back?
- That was emotional.
It really was.
But it's-- it's-- you know, it's kind
of cool to see the whole journey
play out in front of you. - Yeah.
Leah, what about you?
- I'm speechless.
[islanders laughing]
No, it was-- there was definitely,
like, a lot of ups and downs.
- [laughs] - Baby.
- No, because I saw my girls go through a lot.
And it was really hard for, like-- when they cried,
I cried, you know?
But y'all saw my track record, it was not the best.
But it led me to Kenny, so it was all worth it in the end.
- Oh.
Cute. - [laughs]
- How is life on the outside, real world been for you guys?
- It's been fun, right?
- Yeah.
We went to Dallas.
I gave her a little tour of Dallas.
She met my mom, so.
- How was that?
- She's so amazing.
She's so sweet and beautiful.
It was good.
- Oh, I love to hear it.
- I was so nervous, but she was so kind.
Hi, Miss Anita.
- Oh, you guys are so cute.
I hear there's some news to report?
- We're pregnant.
[islanders laughing]
[chatter]
- Kenny almost fell.
- I can't with you.
[laughs]
- No, 'cos I really play too much.
No one gets my sense of humor.
I'm sorry.
- JaNa, I loved it.
- Yeah, so we're dating now.
- So you guys made it official!
Yes.
- Thank you.
[upbeat music]
You guys, I'm a whole girlfriend.
- She said yes.
- Where's my ring?
Kenny!
[light applause]
- It's been six days.
- Happy anniversary.
- Thank you.
- I wanted to apologize.
Me and Day went live.
I spoke on Kenny and JaNa relationship.
I wasn't keeping up with-- you know with the show.
Obviously, you know, people were telling me, oh, JaNa,
she's with Connor, and then she was with Hakeem,
then she was with you.
So when she-- you know, me and Day was on live.
When she asked me, she was like, you know, how you feel?
I was like-- I was like, you know, it's a fake relationship.
You know, so I generally came here today,
legitimately, to apologize to both of you and just say sorry.
I shouldn't have spoken your relationship.
After going back and watching it, I do feel like y'all have
a genuine connection.
I'm happy for y'all.
And, Kenny, you got a great woman by your side.
So I just was wanted to say that.
- Thank you.
- So I hope y'all accept my apology.
- Appreciate that.
- I accept it.
- Leah and Miguel, how have the two of you guys
been since leaving the villa?
- Yeah, we've been really good.
We've been really good.
Like, obviously, when I went to London,
we were just talking every day, literally on FaceTime
like two hours a day.
Yeah, I finally came over.
I came to New York first.
I tried to organize, like, this special surprise
birthday dinner for her.
- He was trying to, like, bamboozle me.
- Yeah.
I was like-- it felt-- I felt really bad.
- And so was she.
- Yeah I got Serena in it.
- Serena was in on it?
- We got Serena.
- And I kept telling her, Serena, like I hate surprises.
What was I gonna do? She's like, I hate surprises.
I'm-- damn. [laughter]
So you about to hate me.
I said, Miguel, she starts swinging, you take it.
[laughter]
- Yeah, I had a little card.
In that card, I did, like, a big old speech.
And then I asked her to be my girlfriend.
Who would have thought that? - Oh my gosh.
Congratulations. - [laughs]
- Oh, I love that.
Is anyone saying I love you yet?
- Hey, there's no rush for anything.
You know what I'm saying? We-- we got to this point.
You know what I'm saying?
- Yes, yes, yes.
I don't mean to push you guys. - Spare us, queen.
Please. [laughter]
- Leah, you and Miguel were the runners up this season.
However, the fans of Love Island
clearly fell in love with you.
- Me?
[laughs]
- How many followers do you have currently on Instagram?
- Almost three million, I think.
- Damn, girl. - Thank you.
- Did you expect that?
- No, not at all.
Oh, stop the clapping, guys.
Please, please, the scattered clapping.
[laughter]
- How many did you have before?
- I think, like, 12k.
- Damn.
- Yeah.
- That's incredible. - It took a jump.
- Yeah.
- No, I didn't expect it in the slightest,
but I'm very thankful for, like, everyone.
And obviously, like, they saw a fucking
human being with, like, actual feelings just,
like, doing my best.
And I think people saw that and, like,
appreciated me for it. And so--
- Yeah.
- That's amazing.
Nicole and Kendall, how are you two doing?
Crickets.
- God.
- You can answer that one.
- It's-- I mean, it's been a bit tough coming
on the outside, but just trying to communicate and work things.
- Communicate?
You've not been communicating, and you never have been.
- I want to make sure we're giving each other's space
at one point and--
- After you lied to my face.
[pop music]
(SINGING) Hear me go
I'm walking through the walls like a ghost
Like a ghost, yeah
I'm haunting when you're least expecting me
- Coming up next--
- He could have been like, I lied to Nicole
and we are going through it because of my actions.
That would be nice.
- I just saw you the last three fucking days in New York,
and you haven't said that to me once.
- Y'all can dead the back seat right here.
I did it.
- She said it, and I was the driver.
[pop music] When you're least expecting me
- What was the lie?
- [sighs] When I--
when I got out the villa--
- Kendall, breathe.
Just breathe.
- I'm just going to say that something happened.
I should have told Nicole, like, the full truth when
it happened, and I didn't.
- So I just want to say something because, obviously,
the video is not OK.
Like, nobody deserves that.
Everybody in this room can agree, that is fucked up.
However, I think if you say you love somebody in the moment
when you're telling me about something,
you need to be honest instead of saying
it's from years ago to someone you trusted, an ex-girlfriend.
And then I find out too later from JaNa
that it was in the hotel room before you
go on the show to someone on a dating app is crazy.
I was there for you.
That's why I haven't spoke up, I
haven't said anything, because it's fucking awful
what you've been through.
But you've also, like, weren't honest with me about it.
- You're right.
I know I 100% should have been honest with Nicole
in that moment, but I honestly wasn't ready.
Literally, my life was turned upside down.
All I wanted to do was just have you there.
And I-- and that's why I said that.
- And I get that. And I stood by you.
It doesn't mean you can lie to me.
- I know.
I-- I don't want to, obviously, lie to you, Nicole.
- You haven't had my back since we've been out of here.
I've been taking all the heat for you,
literally not speaking about it to protect you.
- I-- I've been literally trying to make sure to, like,
let you know that I'm here without, like, being
overboard and, like, being--
- You didn't check on me until I made a post on Instagram.
You didn't tell me what you were doing before you posted
girls on your Instagram story.
You only check on me when it's, like, relevant for you.
I'm sorry.
- Nicole, every-- when we got out of the villa and all this
shit happened, and I was consistently texting you
and these things, and then it was nothing,
barely anything back, and then, like, it was just kind of cold.
So I was like, hey, she just got home.
Like, let me give her some space.
So that's why those next two days, I didn't text you.
And that's why when you post-- made that post, I was like,
I thought I was doing the right thing, giving you space.
But obviously, I should have at least-- like you said,
I should at least just text you, hey, I'm here.
- I don't care about texts.
Why are you not, like, just being honest with me
and having a real fucking conversation?
- I've been trying to--
- How is he going to talk to you if-- if you
guys aren't texting, if you just said,
I don't care about texts?
- Nicole, have I not been trying to call you,
FaceTime you, fly you out to Dallas,
me come out to Sacramento.
- Yeah, and I knew you were doing
that just to bring it up now.
- What?
- No, he wasn't.
He's been going through it.
That's not fair, Nicole.
- Hey, guys.
Sorry, yeah, no, he's going through it.
I haven't gone through shit. Sorry.
- No.
- I'm not saying that.
I've been with Kendall a lot of times where--
- And have you been with me?
Do you guys know what I've been going through?
Like, I'm so sorry.
- You're both going through this.
- Nicole-- - I'm just saying.
- Like, we've both going through it.
I had-- I hadn't had time to process.
I couldn't even talk to my family about it.
I didn't know what to tell you.
That's why I said that. - You tell me the truth.
You don't make up a story.
- I know.
I-- of course, I've literally never been in that position
in my life. I saw you.
I was like, I literally--
- But when you love someone, you're in hard positions
all the time and you have to be honest.
- I know, but I've never been in a position like that.
My whole world's upside down.
- You're letting people talk shit on me about us,
and you're not defending me one bit.
You're not speaking the truth, telling people what happened.
You've been letting me take shit for the past three
fucking weeks.
You've never once genuinely just been like, are you OK?
- [sighs] Literally, all I've been thinking about is out
the villa is just trying to--
I've been trying so hard for us.
That's why I hate that this fucking shit happened
and it led to this domino effect of us
not being able to communicate.
- This just puts me in such a fucked position
because I care about you too and I love you.
And people are questioning that.
- How would you want him to go, and prove
it, and make it right?
Because he's reached out to a lot of us asking for,
like, advice on how he should go about it.
- I just think because he's going about everything publicly
that happens, I mean, he went on a podcast,
he could have been like, I lied to Nicole
and we are going through it because of my actions.
That would be nice.
- I completely admit, like, what the lie was on me.
Like, I'm not going to make excuses.
Obviously it's a situation I've been put in,
but the last thing I wanted to do was lie to you.
And I'm sorry that I fell victim to that in that moment.
Like literally it was a split second.
I get my phone back and it's just ding, ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding with all
these different things.
And I can't-- I can't even talk to my mom, my dad, no one.
And you walk in, I have no idea what to tell you.
- So you make up a lie.
- Yes, I did.
I admit, I'm sorry I did.
But in that moment, I physically couldn't tell you.
My mom was trying to process what my life was.
- Like, I just don't get how you can't be honest with me
in that moment if you love me as much as you say you do.
- Nicole, I wish it-- - That is a hard moment.
- I wish it was as simple as me being honest.
- It's not-- it's--
- Sorry, I'm wrong.
[chatter]
- No, we're not doubting your story.
- I know it's a hard moment, but when you love someone,
you have to be honest. - I get it, but this--
- You're like--
- I think this is exactly what she's
trying to explain, though, is like, no one's, like,
hearing her out and stuff.
And, like, this is like-- it's almost proving
her point of you guys doing--
- No one's saying that.
- We're not not-- we're not not hearing her out.
- It's just, Kendall cares about you so much.
In the heat of the moment, it's such an embarrassing thing.
It's either 50/50.
You're going to tell the truth, just, like, you
can just straight up do it.
Or you're so embarrassed, you don't want the person
you care the most to hate you.
- So if this was you and Kenny, and Kenny did that and lied
to your face, and if I-- and I showed you the video two days
later and you see it completely different, how would you feel?
- And tell me straight up, hey, in the moment,
I cared about you so much, I was so embarrassed,
I just didn't want you to hate me,
so I lied, I would be understanding.
- Yeah.
- Because sometimes when you're at high emotions,
the whole world sees something so intimate and so private,
it can be embarrassing.
And the one person he cares, like, the most about--
- So it's OK to lie to the person who's closest to you?
- It's not about lying.
- And it's not just that guy.
There's been other things.
- It's not OK, but, Nicole, he's apologized to you,
like, 1,000 times.
- Nobody's saying--
- He keeps on apologizing.
- You have every single right to be upset, and no
one is saying you don't.
- All your feelings are valid.
- We all know Kendall really well.
And I have not had a single conversation
with him that's not about you.
- Literally.
- And-- and I'm not saying that gives him a right
to lie to you and everything.
You know, he's take-- trying his best
to take accountability.
And it was a really hard situation, but I
just want you to know from--
I think I can speak for everyone that really
knows Kendall, he loves you and he really, really cares about.
- I know he loves me.
- And, Nicole--
- And I love him, though.
I've been talking about--
I was going to say--
- Yeah, we're not saying you're not.
We're not saying you're not.
- I don't doubt his feelings for me.
But when-- when you come out here
and you're not honest with me when
all I asked for was honesty, of course,
I'm not going to trust you.
- And that's fair.
And that's something you can work towards.
- Like, the thing is, we know how
much you care for him and we know how much he cares for you.
But coming out of that situation,
it's going to be hard to tell the whole truth, like, extreme.
Even now in this situation, it's going to be
hard to get your words across.
You know what I'm saying?
You have every right to react and to--
- I haven't reacted for three weeks.
I've been taking a lot of hate, which
I'm sure no one's looking at.
But just so everybody knows, a lot of hate
because of his actions. - And we know.
- And you've been radio silent, and you haven't talked
about anything, while I feel like Kendall, like, seems
like he's living his best life on social media,
which is so great for you.
But I feel like she's been going through it and, like,
not posting anything, being radio silent.
And then you, you just seem like you don't really care
about y'all's
relationship [chatter]
- I don't think we should play tit for tat.
- We're not.
And that's why I haven't said anything.
But to sit here and you guys all tell me,
I know it's awful what you went through, that's--
I was there for him.
- It's not--
- It's not OK to lie to women, though, to their face.
- I think all we're-- all we're saying is, the same way--
- If you love someone, you get through those--
- Wait, Nicole, I have a question.
Nicole, what will it take for you
to be able to trust him again?
- I mean, I'll-- - I haven't ended things.
We're still together.
So for everyone--
- Like, all--
- Even though you've let the world think we're not together,
we're still together.
- He never let the world think that.
- When have I ever--
- I'm not going to sit here and lie to you.
He's never let the world. - Nicole--
- Even not publicly.
- But that's not for--
That's just who we're--
- Only you.
- I only speak for him, though.
- And I get that. And that's good.
It's good that y'all are speaking on each other,
but you need to know that he's been saying that,
we are still together, we are working things out,
and we are going to make this work,
regardless of the situation that's going on.
- Because all I want to do is mend the lie that I said to you
to start that went into this whole shit show
last couple of weeks.
I-- I should have went on social media and said,
hey, like, everyone, like, Nicole, like, she
needs time to compress.
I lied to her to start out this.
Literally, nothing on her. You're right.
I should have went out there and just said that.
- So, Nicole, do you want to be with Kendall?
- That's all I've ever wanted.
- If you feel like the trust is broken,
do you feel like this is a relationship that you
want to continue to pursue?
- I just think there's a lot of conversations to be had.
And it's-- - Yeah.
- I just don't take this lightly.
- But it's OK to want to be together
or not want to be together.
Serena, why are you laughing?
Do you feel awkward?
- Maybe.
Maybe that's why.
- What?
- I mean, basically, I too don't like men that lie to me.
And that is a deal breaker for me personally.
I will just come out and say like, hey, you lied, I'm done,
it's over with.
That's how I feel on it.
I do think Kendall really does love her,
and I think that she really loves him as well.
I just think they need to figure it out
and they need to work it out without hella outside opinions,
without the internet, without social media,
without any of that.
And, like, if she decides, hey, I don't want a man
that lies to me, so be it.
That's-- that's her decision.
And I don't think she should be ridiculed for that as well.
- Absolutely.
- Because I will drop a man for lying to me.
So it is what it is.
However, I do believe in second chances, obviously.
[laughter]
So if, you know, my sis does choose to, like,
move forward with that, like, I would also, like, back that.
- I think that's kind of what we're all trying to say,
is that we support either decision that either of you
make in regards to this relationship
and how you feel about each other.
And we wish you guys the best, absolutely,
regardless of what you decide.
- Love you, Nikki.
- Love you.
- All right, let's take a break.
More with the Islanders when we return.
[chatter]
- If everyone can hold it.
Whoever really needs to go, please, let's make it quick.
- We couldn't have done that better.
- You think?
- Yeah. - Honestly?
- Yeah. - How?
Why did I do that?
I felt like I was fucking fumbling everything.
- No, you said, I'm being a man.
I owned up to my mistakes.
Now, basically, the ball's on your court.
[applause]
- Welcome back to the Love Island Reunion on Peacock.
All right, Rob, you were in multiple love triangles
this season and you almost left the show for Andrea.
How did it feel watching all of that back?
- I think I am a dumb ass.
And I think that I just--
I don't know.
I just couldn't think.
I got really emotional.
Oh, well, for some reason, I just
put together this with, like, the whole night
with Leah as well.
These two moments just, like, trigger the same, like, emotion
of just like, what the fuck?
Or, like, what are you doing?
- Do you have any regrets?
- Yes and no.
Yes, I have regrets for pain that I caused,
things that I said that I didn't mean,
and emotional times.
You know, that's not what a man does.
And no in the sense that, like, I
really feel like everything unfolded
the way it was supposed to.
And I think that everything happens for a reason.
I really think that, you know, good relationships
came from terrible things that happened.
And that's, like, a good way to look at it, I think.
- Rob and Andrea, is this the first time
that you guys have seen each other since the villa?
- Yep, it is.
- How do you feel?
- I mean, I feel good.
I feel like a lot of things have passed.
And I think a lot of people, like, got on me like, oh,
like, aren't you upset that, like, he didn't leave
with you, and this and that?
And I think, yeah, I mean, in the moment,
like, emotions are so heightened in the villa.
And I think a lot of people don't realize that.
And you say one thing, in the moment, that's how you feel.
And then you switch up because you just-- like,
you have time to think about it.
And that's how I felt like in his situation and--
- What happened between the two of you guys?
- I think genuinely, like, I think the main thing was,
coming out of the villa, I was already
very emotional in the way that I left, obviously.
And I was just, like, very confused
and very hurt about a lot of things.
And then just coming out, I was getting
attacked for a lot of things that, like, weren't true.
And I was really like, obviously
sad about being dumped and, like,
being removed from the situation.
And so I was like, OK, maybe, like,
America will empathize, like, in my situation,
like what I was going through.
- I'm so sorry, but you in your Aftersun
said that I act out of emotion and you
would never act that way.
And that's all you're saying right now.
And it's like kind of, like--
- Hypocritical. - No, I agree.
No, I--
- You also said that she was two-faced in your Aftersun.
[chatter]
- Damn, girl.
- Aftersun with Sally, Andrea--
no, let's-- let's start, please.
Page four. Ready?
- That one, generally--
- You know what she-- she went through before you left.
She went through a lot.
So to call her two-face of all people,
she bit her tongue so many times.
Yes, she talked shit about Rob. She admits it all the time.
But has she ever talked shit about Rob to you directly?
No. And you know for a fact--
- And if you heard it in the dressing room--
- She never went up to you and be
like, Rob was a piece of shit.
But she never did that.
- I bet you talked shit about your-- the person that
did you a certain way too.
- She did, on lives, many fucking times.
- And you talked a hell of a lot
more I did in the dressing room on lives, too.
- You should have put your own fucking name, to be honest.
Those are the side comments. You should put your own name.
You know that for a fact. You can apologize now.
- I said, like, two things.
- But to do lie-- like, lie and shit like that,
it bothers the shit out of a lot of people.
- No, and I understand.
Again, like, I'm sorry for the things I said.
I generally-- it wasn't coming--
nothing I said was, like, in malicious intent at all.
- What intent was it in then?
- Calling someone two-faced is malicious.
You don't understand that now.
But I'm telling you, calling someone two-faced is malicious.
- And you guys like, repost, like, a video making fun of
me also.
- I was really fucking nice.
Do you how dumb I feel coming out?
And I even-- before I even saw everything, like,
literally commented on your picture and everything.
And then I kept getting tagged in things.
Please look at this, Leah.
And then I'm like, oh, my god, I'm an idiot.
- This is the problem that, like, I have.
Because genuinely, like, I got on with all of you guys
so well.
And when I came out of the villa,
I was getting attacked saying I was a mean girl--
things just based off the show, like, going in,
like, I want out.
- But watching back the show, you made
snarly comments many times.
- I didn't-- - You did, though.
When Miguel was asking us who's with who,
Leah said, well, I'm single and you said, you're welcome.
That's one. - [laughs]
- Next thing is when Hannah was working
out with Miguel at the gym.
You said, oh, this is the first time
we've seen Hannah in the gym.
Two, that's really rude.
- Hannah, how did you feel about that comment?
- So I will address the comment because, to be honest,
I get how it looks.
But me and Andrea, like, she would come up to me
and be like, oh, you never work out with me.
Like, maybe you'd work out with me if I had an accent.
So, honestly, it didn't really offend me.
Everybody knew I just fucking ate snacks and want a Reposado.
[laughter]
So it didn't bother me, to be honest.
And then, when he came in, I was like, oh, yeah.
You know, I run sprints around the fucking building every
day, right?
It didn't offend me.
[laughter]
- Hey, Rob, you spent more time with Andrea
than anyone else in the villa.
What are you feeling?
- I guess it was shocking to me.
Because the Andrea I knew, like, wasn't really like that.
She was, like, really calm and, like, really put together.
And, like, I thought she handled situations really well.
And then I got out, and then I saw, like--
I got 100 TikTok Lives.
And I'm not saying you're not that person.
- No, I agree.
I just think I wasn't ever put on a platform where I'm
being attacked left and right.
And I went through, like, a week long of just literally,
like, what do I do?
Like, I can either just let people think these things to me
or I can go and speak on it. And that's what I did.
And it was, like, a coping way for me to, like, talk to people
and be like, 100% like, I shouldn't have like--
like, gone on.
But again, like, genuinely from the bottom of my heart,
like, I'm so sorry, Leah, like, genuinely,
like, for what I said.
Like, I didn't put myself in your shoes and I should have.
Like, the two-faced comment, I should have never said that.
Again, I apologize for that.
I was just hurt and confused by the process.
And in my mind, I was just like,
had really strong feelings towards Rob and, like,
it was all genuine.
Like, I will tell you that what I felt for him,
it was, like, hard ending things that way
because I didn't get to, like, explore it.
But again, like it's valid.
Like, I don't disagree with the decision.
But to say that it wasn't genuine, like,
sucks because it really was.
Everyone said, like, you're so delusional to think
that he would, like, leave with you or come out.
I just think, like, what I felt in that moment felt real.
It just, like, sucks for people to think
that it wasn't genuine, because it really was.
And just to see, like, how everything played out
in the end, like, it was hurtful, like, seeing how like,
people were saying things about me.
Because that's why I went on social media
and, like, talked so much as I did.
Because, like, I wanted people to know, like,
I genuinely liked him a lot at the time,
and that's how I felt. And so, yeah.
- I understand what you're saying.
- Yeah.
- When you watched the show back,
do you feel like you understood why the girls chose
you as the one to go home?
- 100%.
And I'm, like, sitting back and watching,
I was like, I see it for what it is.
Like, they picked JaNa because they're friends with her.
I'm like, valid. Like, honestly--
- Can I say that was not the reason?
- That literally wasn't the reason.
That's the thing. - It was not.
- I feel like Andrea is trying to apologize.
And I guess I just want to know, where do we go from here?
- Just keep Leah's name out your mouth.
Boom, done, that's it.
All right, next question, just like that.
- We got to move forward.
And by moving forward, we got to move back to the back seat.
[laughter]
Define back seat.
- Back seat is up to the eye of the beholder.
- Yes, period.
- The back seat is up to the eye of the beholder.
- I take the Fifth Amendment.
Isn't that the one where you don't want to talk?
- No.
Y'all can dead the back seat right here.
I did it. Fuck it.
Believe it.
- Define back seat.
- What I did to Andrea [laughs]
- She said it, and I was the driver.
- [laughs]
- I was in the trunk.
- And I was in the passenger.
- And JaNa was on directions.
- Julie, now what?
- And Serena, you were fixing the tires.
- And Serena was on the music.
- I'm changing the oil.
- Bathrooms, very quickly.
- Yeah, bet.
- Oh, my goodness.
[chatter]
- Thank you, guys.
How are you guys feeling right now?
- Yeah.
- How are you feeling?
- It was a lot.
Feeling reserved. - Yeah.
- I feel like I can crawl back into the shell.
- Yeah.
- I don't know. That was a lot to take in.
It was pretty testy at times.
- A lot of emotions in there.
- I hope everyone got everything off their chest.
And now everyone can just come and move forward.
- Can you see our feet in the camera?
- No.
- So can I take my heels off?
They-- they're killing.
- You can take them off. - Mine hurt.
- How are you even fucking standing?
- Because I'm a fucking weapon.
- You're a fucking warrior, bitch.
[cheers, applause]
- Welcome back to the Love Island reunion.
Things are about to heat up in the Big Apple
because we're talking bombshells.
Two of the most thrilling yet nerve wracking
moments on Love Island are when new bombshells arrive
and when Casa Amor is introduced.
Let's take a look.
[music playing]
- Have fun in there.
[laughter]
- Hola, chicas!
- Take a seat real quick and let me handle it from here.
Yeah?
- Who the fuck was that?
- What up? - What's goody?
- Party's here!
- Bro, stay away, you bastard!
[laughter]
- It's Kassy.
It's Kassy.
- Close your mouth, Kenny!
- Casa.
Casa.
- Casa, Casa, Casa!
- Ow!
- Casa Amor in the house!
[screaming]
- Oh.
- Girls, it's time to make your decision
and find out what the boys have decided to do.
- Oh, you're fucking kidding me.
- Fucking hell.
- Tell me straight up.
Is it her, the stronger connection, or is it me?
Do not waste my time.
[laughter]
- You brought her, so you know.
- Aaron is that Daniela?
- Hi, Daniela.
- Hi.
- Oh, beautiful.
- And you thought sharing a toothbrush was weird.
- She may not believe it, but I was thinking
about her the whole time.
- You think that you're about to have your cake
and eat it, too?
No, baby.
You made your choice.
You made your bed.
Hump in it.
- God, we got a lot of bodies in this bitch.
[laughter]
[applause]
- Harrison.
- Hey.
- What is it like coming into the Villa as a bombshell
so late when there's so many established couples?
- It was-- I just went in with a little more of a lighthearted
sort of approach just because I knew there were some pretty
substantial couples going in.
So it definitely, like, I guess,
reduces the options if you want to call it that.
- Nicole, you came in with Andrea
on one of the craziest bombshell entrances
I think we've ever seen.
How was that night for you?
- That night coming in was so--
I was so nervous.
I didn't really know what to expect.
- Is it weird, looking back?
You actually-- you made out with Kordell for a minute.
- Oh, god.
[laughter]
It is weird.
But, like, you got to think, like, you're going in.
You don't know people.
And, like, you kind of, like, do
realize, like, I don't really have
a connection with this person.
I do really get on with this person.
But, yeah, it was a weird.
[laughter]
- Connor, I want to ask you, how
was your bombshell experience?
- Yeah.
I mean, obviously you're, like, terrified walking in.
It's a really-- - Even with the high-five?
- The high-five was great. - Hello.
- That was fun.
It's an intimidating experience.
You're like, I don't know how I'm going to be received,
guys and girls.
You know?
You're like, are these guys going
to hate me for coming in and trying to do what
a bombshell is supposed to do?
Really intimidating experience.
But near the end, I even kind of forgot
I was a bombshell at all.
You know?
It felt like I had built a family in there,
so it was nice.
Definitely had some friendships that I
want to keep for a long time.
- All right.
I love that.
[applause]
Kenny, I want to come to you.
You chose to bring Catherine back.
And do you feel like, in that moment,
you owned your decision?
- I guess you kind of put me on glass, Miss
over here saying, like, what connection is stronger?
And I-- in the heat of the moment.
And that's how I truly felt. But when I'm in Casa, I see--
I was seeing the Villa down there.
I'm talking about JaNa the whole entire time.
So definitely the emotions were running
high when I was up there.
I felt like I was like at court a little bit.
- Kassy, we got to see you as a bombshell this season.
And you had a few intimate moments
while you were in the Villa, and you left with Rob.
Where do you guys stand?
- Friends.
[laughter]
Like, we're friends.
Like, we just-- we catch up.
You know, we send TikToks to one another
and that's all we do.
[laughter]
- How was your Casa experience, Catherine?
Did you have fun while you were in Casa?
- I mean, in the outside world, I'm not going to go
after someone who has a man. Like, let's be real.
- Exactly.
- I'm not going to, like, fight over a boy.
So I feel like being put in that position is kind of like,
you-- you have to do that.
You know?
And honestly, Kenny and me had really good conversations,
and we had a lot of those core values.
And I think that that's why he brought me back.
And I think, if anything, I did my job as a Casa girl
and he realized it was JaNa.
And I love that for them, and that was, like, the whole point
of the experience.
So maybe I didn't leave with love, but I had a good time.
And I met some amazing girls that I've
been really close with for these last couple of weeks.
And I get to have them in my life forever, so--
- Exactly. - --it was a good time.
- Yeah.
- I will say the best part was the girls.
- Yeah.
- Like, that was the best part.
- Love you guys down, like so-- yeah.
- Like, even though you're there for the same reason,
there's not that kind of love given back.
- It was hard as bombshell, I'll say.
- Yeah.
Liv, you were the first bombshell.
Let's hear from you. - I'm sorry.
I came in-- like, Casa is hard.
Like, I take my hat off to you guys at the end of the day.
But bombshells are just as hard.
I came in and had to steal someone's man.
On the first day, they just got this experience and, like,
I had to try and take it away from her.
- With everyone there, too, watching it.
- With everyone, within six hours, like, not even.
I went in, chatted with every person in front of all of them,
and then went, I'm going to choose your man.
And you're left vulnerable.
I hope you're OK.
- I don't think we're trying to take away from your experience.
And I think--
- Oh, no, no, I know you're not.
- No, I know.
But I think like, yeah, of course it's not-- it's
hard to go in as a bombshell.
It's hard to go in as a Casa.
It's hard to go in as whatever.
And even us walking in after Casa, like, the recoupling,
we understood that it was hard for the OG girls
and everyone who was there.
It's not fucking easy watching your guy
walk in with another girl.
That's fucking horrible.
Like, we knew that walking in.
Like, that's trash.
So, like, we got that.
But I think we also had our own thing as well.
We are all going in with those same intentions
that everyone else had when they went in initially.
And it's like, we're here to find a connection.
Going into Casa more, granted, we could have
handled things so much better.
You know what I mean?
But at the same time, like, being in Casa more,
it's kind of like, you're there to make a connection.
And people are pissed that we made connections.
I also-- like, getting out of the Villa
was so fucking overwhelming for me.
For, like, weeks like, my social media
is just too fucking much.
And I feel like every single person on this couch,
we need to be better at, like, realizing that even if you
repost something or you make a comment
or you don't acknowledge when someone's in the background
talking shit or whatever, like, you guys have to realize how
that's going to affect other people sitting on this couch,
whether you like them or not.
If someone says even the smallest fucking thing
that's rude about someone else, you're
just co-signing your fucking followers to go
and drag the other person.
And it's not OK.
This isn't on you, Serena, because I don't think
that you've said anything.
- No, I don't agree with all the bullying.
I think all that is, like, extremely mean.
I don't co-sign any of that.
I do think that we did build a friendship in the villa.
And, like, I really like you, and I think
you're a really cool girl.
Honestly, that whole Casa thing in general,
like, I have just completely disassociated myself with it.
Like, I don't want to think about it.
I don't want to look at it.
I don't want to, like, talk about it.
Like, my DMs are, like, swarmed and like,
I'm literally just been, like, ignore, ignore, ignore.
- I sent you a message just to say congratulations on winning.
Really happy for you guys.
I'm, like, excited for you guys.
I said that when I was at the recoupling, leaving.
I was ready to go.
And I was like, good.
I'm happy for you all. Like, it's cool.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
Like, and I stand on that.
- Thank you so much for that.
I respect you a lot for, like, not going on podcasts
and, like, talking shit--
- Absolutely.
- --or, like, just like, egging the stuff on.
- And same to you, because you also
didn't go out and do the most either, which I appreciate.
- Yeah. We're good, babe.
- [chuckles]
- I want to address the social media of it all.
I know you guys have gotten both a lot of love
and a lot of negativity, as well.
I've been through it.
I've gotten it plenty.
And I think when you are in a position like this,
sometimes people can see you as a character on a TV show
and they forget that you are a real person, with a real life,
and real friends and family.
And I think that it's really important
to be kind to our Islanders.
- Can I say one thing?
- Yeah.
- On my-- at least for me and, like, people who like,
support me and who love me and everything,
I don't want you to say anything negative
to anyone on my behalf.
Like, I love all these people very dearly.
Andrea, I don't want you guys to send her anything.
I love Liv.
We are very close.
Sierra, I don't want people to think
I hate anyone sitting here.
Even Rob, like, please, let's spare the man.
[laughter]
- Let's take a break.
We'll be right back.
[applause]
[laughter]
- Take a break for five minutes.
- Please.
[chatter]
- It was a lot. It was intense.
- Very intense.
It's not easy dealing with this at all.
And, like, I have, like, highs and lows where
I'm feeling really good, and then days
where I'm feeling really down.
I think we all can relate to that too.
Like, some days the hate is less than other days.
But I'm genuinely happy that we all kind of, like,
came to agreement.
Like, you know, it's like water under the bridge.
Like, we all spoke out of emotions.
We all are human.
We all make mistakes.
And it's not that deep.
It's a show.
We're real people.
We all have feelings and emotions.
And I feel like--
I feel like I hope that the audience sees that.
- This is a fucking lot.
- Like, this is a lot.
I just wish everyone could understand,
we are a big family after this.
Like, we should all be able to have each other's backs
and support each other because this is not easy.
- I hate to cry right now because I
don't even cry, normally.
And I cried on a TV show.
- Like, we all deserve more grace.
You just have to remind yourself,
like, these people don't know you.
They've never met you a day in your life.
They don't know your character.
You just have to remember to, you know,
stay true to yourself.
- Yeah, I love you guys.
- I love you.
- I love you guys, too. - Thank you!
Welcome to the group.
- I miss, like, being together.
It's weird.
It's like your family, you know?
- If we could all just come together
and be a family at the end of this,
that would be the most ideal.
- Yeah, yeah.
[music playing]
- Welcome back to the Love Island reunion.
I want to check in with a pair that coupled up day one,
from makeups, to breakups, to even
more makeups and countless f-bombs in between.
- Huh, I wonder who that could be about.
Hi.
- How has life been for the two of you
since you left the villa?
- Not very good.
- Yeah.
- Not very good at all.
I think we-- like, I'm just going to come out and say it.
Like, I-- I lied to Kaylor, straight up.
I didn't tell her the whole truth.
You know, I put my hands down Daniela's pants.
I kissed her.
I snogged her.
We had loads of romantic connections.
- Wait, why didn't you tell me this two days ago when I was
asking you in our hotel room?
Why?
- Jesus!
- Be honest with me and look me in the eyes when you say that,
Ben. Don't look at Ariana.
I'm tired of the fucking excuses.
Take accountability and be a fucking man.
I just saw you the last three fucking days in New York.
And you haven't said that to me once.
Why would you do that?
Why?
Why do you keep fucking lying to me?
And quit love bombing me.
Literally, I cannot believe I wasted my entire
fucking summer on you, Aaron.
I don't want anything to do with you.
I never want to speak to you again.
You're disgusting.
And I do not deserve that.
And you know what?
I walked into the villa being so confident.
And you beat me down, beat me down, beat me down.
And I left a different fucking girl.
It's not cool.
And it's not fun.
- Queen girl pussy boss.
I like this side of her.
That was beautiful, Kaylor!
- Leave me alone.
You-- you do not deserve me, at all.
I don't deserve you. - You're disgusting.
And you're a piece of fucking shit.
Ooh, I'm shaking.
I want to-- can you switch me seats?
- Of course!
[laughter]
- Ariana, we've had multiple calls and chats.
I was with him in New York the first night!
So why didn't you tell me?
I didn't have the balls at the end of the day.
- Oh, cut the shit.
- I didn't!
- Fuck you, Aaron! - Oh, please.
You didn't have the balls--
- You didn't have the balls for two months.
When are they going to fucking drop?
[laughter]
- And again, I'm sorry I didn't reach out.
I didn't think--
I thought we were good because I know
you don't deserve that at all.
And I feel fucking horrible for you.
- But it's not your fault.
- I'm genuinely so sorry because I would never want
you to go through any of that. And I feel--
- Thank you.
- I'm, like, replaying everything back.
And I'm regretting so many things.
- But it's not your fault because you want for yourself.
The only thing-- the only thing, listen, I love you.
It's his fault. It's not your fault.
- Fuck yeah, Kaylor.
- He's doing the best he can, I think.
- What'd you say, Rob?
- I don't disagree with anything that's been said.
I think, every time I've talked to Aaron,
I mean, I tell you the same thing every single time.
Just be accountable.
He's just an idiot.
And I love him. But he is.
Like, you know? He struggles.
And he's got problems. He's not perfect.
But he's not a horrible person.
- I do want to know, because after coming out of the villa,
I saw you guys posting a lot on social media together.
You guys were thick as thieves.
And I want to know what it was that took
you from being so close and being
together to where you are now.
- So, we were in LA.
And everything was great and dandy.
And then I came home.
And I watched the show.
Specifically, I really only watched the parts
that I needed to, like Casa Amor and episode six,
which, let's go back to that because, in episode six,
I kissed Hakeem in a lousy challenge.
And Aaron lost his shit.
He went absolutely fucking nuts.
You know what?
I feel like, in the villa, I was kind of
in my own little la la land.
Like, I didn't actually, like, clock
actually who I am as a person.
And I was really, really emotional.
I didn't have my support system.
And I think, a lot of the times, I underestimate myself.
And I think I did a lot this summer.
And leaving the villa, I have such a good group
of friends and cheerleaders who have helped me understand
that I do not deserve that.
And now, when they watch this shit,
they are going to freak the fuck out.
Because I still, after watching Casa,
Aaron was going through it the most.
And I still talked to him.
And I still texted him. And--
- OK, wait, hold on.
That is, no.
- No?
- Hold on, hold on.
My granddad passed away on the fucking day,
on the morning of BFFs.
Four hours later, I told you that as well.
And you still went on BFFs.
And you still shat all over me.
You did not support me once.
You knew I was going through it.
And you know that's why I had to come off social media
because I was going through the fucking wringer with it.
You know how fucking it affected me.
And you still went and shat all over me.
So don't say that you were supporting me because that
is not what you did. - And that's horrible.
But--
- No, no, no--
- But then, I can't tell you how I feel then.
- You can tell me how you feel.
But you can also support.
You can also support me.
So don't say-- so don't say that you were supporting me.
- What you went through was so sad.
But why does your--
- So, there's literally a BFF podcast--
there's literally a BFF podcast where you
can literally watch it back.
- You do not deserve that.
But I can't be all over you whenever,
after I just watched that.
I sent my condolences.
I asked you about how your family was doing.
And I asked you. And I texted you.
So don't say I wasn't there, because I was.
- I do genuinely, from the bottom of my heart,
like, I am sorry for everything I put you through.
And I just want you to know that.
- Why didn't you tell me while we were in Fiji?
You were staying in my hotel room.
- I know you're going to hate me for saying this.
But genuinely, like, I was in a bad place when my grandam died.
There wasn't a point where I felt like I could tell you.
And then, when we broke up a week later,
I felt so guilty because I wanted to get it off my chest.
And yes, we spent the first day in New York together as well.
But I didn't want to ruin the first day that we had together
because we were so excited to see each other.
So I was like, yes, I'm just going
to wait until it comes to the reunion just to tell you.
- Don't play that card.
- No, I'm not saying--
- Don't.
- You're good.
- I'm sorry.
Like, I genuinely am.
- Let's all take a breath.
- Quiet the house, please.
Quiet, please.
Cameras roll.
- You look so good.
I'm cold.
And your hand's keeping me warm.
- Stand by, please.
Stand by.
Here we come.
Stand by.
[music playing]
- We're back.
One of the most asked questions was,
when it comes to that fire pit scene, obviously,
it was very controversial.
Why don't you just show the fire pit scene in its entirety
for all of you to see and make your own decision?
And we're going to do just that.
- Thank you!
- No!
- Finally!
- Raw, uncensored, from beginning to end.
- No way!
[music playing]
- Oh, my god!
- I don't want to watch this.
My heart just sank.
- Let's take a look.
- So we have to tell you guys something.
- Now, before, before we say this thing, obviously,
what he was saying about JaNa, because we
know she's had her back.
She's had a tough run.
She's-- And she needs--
- Right, right.
- So much.
- We can't kick her out. - No.
- She's our mother.
- She's been getting the short game.
- She's our family.
- Oh, my god, OK, before we say that, we
need to say one more thing.
Just before-- this is-- we're--
We actually got to think smart in some people's lives.
- Yes, because you guys don't know this.
- And these are people's lives and people's emotions.
And at the end of the day, we have to make a decision.
So we've got to do the worst of each of them
and the best of each of them and work it out.
So, just then, Miguel and--
- Nicole just kissed on the dock.
- Just kissed on the dock.
- And Kendall has no idea.
And they've been chatting for a while.
And Kendall, to our belief, to our belief--
we don't know what she said to him.
But we don't think that the chats to him
have been as clear, indicating that her getting to know
Miguel, as it should be.
- Yes, and that just happened.
It just happened.
- We're not saying she hasn't spoken to Kendall at all.
- Yeah, we have no idea what happened.
- But all we do know is that I personally
don't think that he is aware of how much
she wants to get to know you.
That's me personally. - Yes.
- And I agree.
- Does anyone else think that way a little bit?
Because-- - I agree with you.
- I think he's completely clueless to the fact
of how open she is.
I didn't even know she was that open with him.
- I didn't either.
- She saw them on the dock, though, because I was with him.
[chatter]
- No, we just found out then.
Plus, I know Miguel's being really open with me
and being like, I'm getting to know her.
But I don't know if Kendall's just a little lovey dovey
or if he knows to the extent.
So that's one thing about her.
The other thing is, we--
- (WHISPERING) I've just been having such a tough year.
- I know.
And he finally has someone.
- My thing is, with Cam and with this situation is,
like, she's just doing what she's here to do.
[chatter]
- I know, that's the thing, that's the thing.
We've just got to try.
- I had a conversation with her.
- That would be like if you were kissing Connor.
If you're just here to do what you want to do--
- We have nothing against her.
We have nothing against her.
But at the end of the day, we have
to pick one out of the two. - I'm well aware.
But I feel like--
- But then Andrea on the other hand,
it's like, she's not open at all.
- She's not open.
And she's talking about--
guys, I had a chat earlier.
I think, like, certain things that Andrea has said
to the girls has made her feel like she may or may
not be here for the right reasons,
as in the Love Island money.
Oh, we're going to get comped tables.
Oh, I'm going to do this brand deal shit.
Oh, this and that.
And it's like, I get it.
- I've just been closed off.
Like, I feel like every single girl in here
has to be open to the experience, including Kaylor.
- Including Kaylor. - This has been--
[chatter]
- Yeah, like, she--
what happened if she would have sent her home.
- But out of the two, have they been closed off?
Because they did have to just pick.
Think about it.
- No, but Nicole is doing the game.
She's playing the game!
- She's playing the game.
- Yeah, no--
- You can't say-- this wasn't Couple Island,
you know what I mean? - Yes.
- And I'm not saying that just because I'm saying--
- I'm not saying you need to find genuine connection.
- To find a genuine connection.
- I get that.
- I don't think that Ron and her have
found that genuine connection.
- And do we think--
does Kendall and Nicole have that genuine connection?
Who do we think--
- It's so hard because they both came in.
It's like-- they both came in.
It's like, do we play it safe?
Do we play it safe with going with Rob,
or do they come in and play it safe going with Kendall?
Or is it playing it safe, or do they have a genuine connection?
- Sorry, I can't bend.
- And she's just head over heels for Rob?
- Yeah, or has Nicole come in here and just--
[chatter]
- But the only thing that sucks for Nicole--
- Because he's had no one.
And he's been the one that's--
- Because she's open.
That's what I feel bad, is, like, I don't
want to eliminate Nicole for the sole fact
that, like, she's open.
When Miguel came in--
- Because she told Kendall she was--
- When Miguel came In here, home-girl and Andrea was like,
it's pointless.
And it's like, I get it.
Like, been there, done that.
But, like, you see how it ends up.
Like, you don't end up in good places when you're not open.
Like, you were open.
You kissed Connor. And you found out.
I don't like that!
- Yeah. - And, like, it's good.
- And then it strengthened your relationship.
- She might feel that way about Miguel.
Did you-- we didn't talk to her about the kiss, did we?
- Well, I can also tell, she really likes Kendall.
- It's really hard because it's like, this is the thing that's
running through my head.
I feel like it's so hard because, at the end of the day,
it's like, if someone came and Miguel--
say someone like Miguel came in that
was more like Andrea's type.
Would Andrea do the thing that Cole did,
or would she stay back?
You know what I mean?
It's so hard to weigh up the two.
- It's like, do you punish someone--
- I don't know what the fuck to say.
- Do you punish someone for finding love straight away,
or do you punish someone for playing
the game how we're meant to do it
and find a genuine connection?
- Fuck!
- Just want to be open to the experience.
- Right, instead of just, like--
- And I don't think she just wouldn't have
told Kendall, like, because--
[chatter]
- But it just happened.
She wouldn't not--
- --talk to Kendall tonight about how she wants to--
- I don't know.
I don't know.
- I don't know, guys.
I don't know. - This is hard.
- This is really hard.
I don't know, because I love both of them with all my heart.
And I don't want to ruin something
for someone because they got along straight away.
And I don't want to ruin something
for someone because we think that they didn't tell someone.
- Right.
- And I also feel like, I don't know.
I don't know if, like, Kendall deserves love, too.
And I don't-- I feel like Nicole,
what she told me upstairs is that she's, like,
leaning towards--
- Towards Miguel and not at Kendall at all.
- Like, she said--
- Actually?
- She said that she's, like, physically more attracted to--
- To Miguel.
And she feels like there's more of a tie.
- Liv was upstairs with me when we had the conversation.
- But I'm not saying this because I'm paid.
I'm not-- I'm not saying this because I'm paid,
because I said straight up to her,
I've known this kid for 24 hours.
If I acted like, why did you kiss my man after 24 hours,
on the outside, I'd look like a psychopath.
But I am just saying, like, I don't know.
And this is because we have to think of every option.
I don't know if it's like, I'll pick
Kendall because he had no one.
He's the safest option.
And now, a new bombshell has come in.
It's like, he's all my type.
- And Nicole did say, like, I want to talk to Kendall.
Like, this is really stressing me out.
Like, I hate that I did that.
And I was like, don't beat yourself up.
- And she wanted to talk to me, too.
- She should have--
- She's just playing. She's doing the game!
- Exactly.
- Which is more than--
- She shot it down straight away.
- She shot it down straight.
- You're right.
- Like, we're all here to be open.
You've made out with many people.
I've made out with people.
You-- - I haven't made out.
But I've been--
- Oh, you've been-- you've been doing your thing.
[chatter]
- And I did say that, because she was beating herself up.
And I was like, I did the same thing.
And it's OK.
[chatter]
- Guys, if we hold off for this, we're basically saying,
don't come in here, and don't be open for doing that.
She's just doing--
[chatter]
- I mean, did she come in and play the safe option?
And we're just going because they've
got a strong connection.
- Or if we go-- if we go with Andrea--
- Nicole hasn't made one alarming
comment, in that sense.
She's just playing the fucking game.
But the other--
- But if we go with Andrea, are we fucking up something
that could be really good?
- Yeah. We send Nicole--
[chatter]
- Because Kendall has been having the same--
- Or Miguel too.
- But obviously-- but also, if we don't--
if we don't send her--
I'm trying to weigh both options.
If we don't send Nicole home--
wait.
So if we send Andrea home, then it's like Rob's just
going to walk around here.
And we're going to cope the brunt of it.
And like, we could have ruined something.
- Well, no because Kendall too.
- But also, Leah and Rob have a connection.
They'll always have one.
- But also, if we send--
- That's really sweet to say.
- That's true.
- If we send Nicole home, it's not
like Kendall's without because she's
already jumped ship to Miguel to what she's told us.
- But we don't know that because it's
not fair because she hasn't spoke to Kendall yet.
- No, that's fine because you and
Miguel also have a connection.
- Yeah, you and Miguel also have a connection.
And he likes you too.
- Exactly.
So we don't know.
- I don't want to say either home.
- Me either.
- Can we just send the new bombshell coming in home?
- Just tell her not to come.
- That would be better.
- Can we get her check if that's allowed?
- Fuck. I feel like shit.
- You guys.
So I think we should each go around and say who we think
and do a majority of it. - OK, no.
What we're going to do is we're going to close our eyes.
And if you vote Nicole to go home,
you're going to put your hand up.
If you vote-- what's her name?
Andrea.
- --Andrea to go home, you got to put your hand down.
Sorry. I'm a bit caught up in the--
[chatter]
- If we want Nicole to go home, we put up a one.
If we want Andrea to go home, we put up a two.
- OK. Close your eyes.
- Wait. Wait.
- Andrea is-- - Nicole is one.
- Andrea's two.
- Fuck.
- I want them both to say, OK? - OK.
Ready?
- Three, two, one.
- OK.
So she's gone, so--
- Fuck.
- I'll say it.
- Fuck.
- I'll speak because I know you all will cry.
And I can handle this, OK?
[chatter]
- I feel so bad.
- I just feel like shit.
[chatter]
- I just feel fucking bad because I don't want her
to think that she-- that Nicole's coming here
and is doing something-- oh.
Well, no.
Fuck me.
[chatter]
- Like, I'm saying, I don't want Nicole to come in here
and think she's doing something wrong by playing the game.
That's what she was-- she came here just
doing what is meant to do. - To find a connection.
- And she's trying.
That's more than any of the fuck--
- Well, you don't find a connection on the first person.
I went Rob, Hakeem.
[chatter]
- I see what you guys are saying.
And I never thought of it that way.
- Exactly.
Like, you are lucky.
Like, there's always, like, one couple, I think,
that, like, sticks together from the very beginning.
And that's clearly you two.
- Yeah.
- When I'm leaving, we just need to lock it in for your--
- This is really hard.
- Can we, like, talk to you?
Like, we need help.
- This is so--
you're leaving us with people's lives in our hands,
like, people's relationship, people--
- This is on you guys. This is your decision.
- Fuck.
- We could ruin someone's--
- Where's your head at?
- We don't know.
[chatter]
- We just did majority rules.
- And what was the majority rules?
- The same girl.
[chatter]
- But why?
It's so hard?
Because what if Robin and her had a really good connection?
And then just--
- I'm going to say this. Go with your gut.
This is what you're seeing as a group.
- And just what we decide, one of us says it.
- Yeah. One of you will say--
But you guys-- you guys--
- OK.
[chatter]
- I need you to just lock this in right now.
Like, this answer is-- - Wait.
Can we-- do we have to lock it in right now?
Can we have, like, a little bit more of a chat?
- Like, five more minutes.
- Please?
- What about three?
- Two.
One. - 30 seconds.
Just 30 seconds.
- So wait.
Are we sure about this?
Like, why do you think Nicole?
- My only thing is, I'm--
Yeah.
The only reason why, because I think the chances to come
in here and find someone that you connect and get
along with so well is hard.
That's my thing.
The chances of you to come in and find Aaron I think
is so out of the blue, that when it comes, you go for it.
And I feel like even if someone comes in
and you get to know everyone, I get it.
But that might not be your time.
- What if Rob leaves because she's leaving?
- Because I-- look--
- That's on him, though.
- But no offense, I was, like-- you know,
really strong connection. Then Kordell came in.
He's not really my type.
I'll have a chat with him, one.
But then we don't get along, so that's fine.
But It's OK to have--
- But she said she was closed off.
She didn't even say she was open.
That's the thing.
She said he doesn't have a chance with me.
- So we're going with her?
- I heard her say she was open, though.
[chatter]
- But it's going to be really hard to chat--
- Just tell me who we're going for and what I'm going to say.
- I don't know because I feel like they're
such a strong couple. You guys decide.
- Oh my God.
- OK.
So the reason we are sending Andrea home
is because we believe that she isn't
open enough to getting to know people,
which is the main thing here.
And we feel like that even though--
[chatter]
- OK. Oh, yeah.
And also, no one knows that she kissed Kendall.
- So then fuck. We can't say that.
- No, no.
Just say we--
[chatter]
- Don't say that. Like--
- So. Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is this who we're locking in? - Yes.
- Are we sure? Are you sure, Liv?
- We can't go back. I'm not sure.
No, I'm not.
No answer is correct.
But at the end of the day, we got to stand up there.
And we got to say why we chose her.
And we're going to look like idiots if we're not.
And no answer is correct.
No one should be like this.
But at the end of the day, we all
agreed that we came here to get to know
people and open to finding the right connection.
And doing so means that not sticking
to the first person you connect with and just closing off.
It's about getting to know other people,
seeing if there's something there.
And if it doesn't, it strengthens the relationship
you had in the first place.
- And if they're strong enough, then they can just--
- Is that right?
Is that what I'm saying?
- Yeah. - Please, please.
Someone tell me, is that what I'm saying?
- Yes.
- Fuck.
- I'm going to actually vomit.
[upbeat music]
Welcome back to the Love Island USA reunion.
Being that it was down to either Nicole or Andrea,
can you guys see how fighting for Nicole to stay
is also a way of fighting for Andrea to leave?
- Yeah.
- I can see that.
But I also don't think that that's where I was coming from.
Honest to god, if I wanted you to leave, I would say it.
Clearly, I say everything that comes--
like, I don't-- like, I'm not going to sugarcoat anything.
So like I did--
I literally-- I didn't want you to leave.
I didn't want anyone to leave.
I know it's, like, corny to say that.
But like, I didn't want you to leave.
I enjoyed my time with you.
I liked you.
We-- yeah, I liked you.
We had fun.
At the end of the day, like, we just wait our options,
and we made the decision.
And that's what it fell as.
It was never, like--
- It was never, like--
- Regardless who we would have sent home,
there would have been this backlash
no matter who we sent home.
- And I want to apologize to you, Leah,
because I know this whole thing has been massive.
And I very much dish it to people.
So I very much believe that if you dish it,
you've got to very much take accountability.
And I was wrong.
And I fucked up.
And I did take your words.
And I ran with them.
And I didn't hear her out.
And that is not OK.
I should have given you the benefit of the doubt
and heard both sides and then made my opinion on it.
And I didn't do that.
And I did back up all the other girls.
And I didn't back you up.
And then so I do apologize.
I was in the wrong.
And I take full accountability for it.
- And I agree as well.
I feel like I should have came to you
and said something instead of talking
behind the scenes with everyone and just
getting to the bottom of it.
- Aaron, would you like to apologize to the girls
for calling them idiots after watching that video?
Because after watching that, did you understand
where they're coming from?
- Mm-hmm.
- You called them idiots for sending the Andrea home when
the obvious person was JaNa.
Remember that?
- Well, I apologize then for that.
I said it because you weren't in the couple
and the other girls were.
And that's why I was like, from our point of view,
the way that we chose Hakeem was,
who's in the strongest couple?
- You went around planting it in everyone's ear.
- I never did that.
- You were the most--
you were more bothered than me.
You talked about it more than I did.
You were dramatic at the fire pit.
You were dramatic telling everyone what I said when
I literally told you exactly what the fuck I said every time
and when I've sat here too.
So what's the point truly?
Are you just, like, a gossiper?
Are you a bitch? Like, what's happening?
- Can I say something? - Yeah, Rob.
What would you like to say?
- I think he told me that because he was my friend.
- He wasn't a part of it.
- No, no, no.
- And by the fucking way, we rolled the tape
of me saying I tried to.
I didn't say I didn't talk--
I didn't say I took a back seat.
I said I was trying too.
Keep fucking words.
Why don't we open our ears?
Wake the fuck up.
That's our key words.
So that's all.
I never, ever said I took a full-on backseat.
I never said that.
- No, I'm not saying you did.
- That's kind of what I got from y'all's conversation.
- OK.
Let's not get the blurred lines.
You stood up there and said, I've
heard that Leah told me that she took a back seat
in the conversation.
They were your words.
What did she say to you?
She said, I want to try.
You left that bit out.
Yes, it's my fault. I'll own it.
I ran with those words.
But do not sit there now up there and be like,
oh, you kind of brought it in.
I-- eh eh eh.
- Yeah, which is my fault, which is my fault.
- Shut up.
- What were you going to say?
- I mean, she kind of like said what I was going to say.
Like, that conversation is what led to our conversation.
I wasn't going to go and talk to Leah about all that
without, like, some more--
- You asked us-- you asked us both to not talk
to Leah about it before you--
- Can I please talk when I'm talking?
- Rob, please finish.
- All I'm saying is, like, no, I'm
not blaming you guys for it.
From my perspective, the girls had their POV.
They went with their logic.
And it was just different from the guys.
It was just a different decision.
But then, like, I heard this.
And I was like, you know what?
To be honest, I want to know because I still,
like, like Leah at the time.
And I was like, if I want to do that, I want to know, like,
was this true?
That's why I went to y'all.
And from what our conversation went,
I think it was a misunderstanding.
Well, I wanted to get some clarity.
And if they had said no, yeah, she took a back seat,
I would have never said anything to you about it.
And I would've move on. - May I, please?
Just really quickly, I don't think I took a back seat
in that conversation.
I think everyone spoke.
And we all said that as well.
But what pissed me off personally
was that I had a huge sway to vote out Andrea.
That's the thing that pissed me off.
Did you hear me say her name?
Did you hear me pushing for that.
I was just saying the poor woman just got here,
and she's trying to talk to this poor man
who also just got there.
And why would we say fuck that?
And also, if I wanted to get Rob back-- sorry.
I don't want to be his second choice.
That was not the way I was going to get him back ever.
Like, I would never do that in a million years, so no,
I was not kicking her out to, like, sneak back into Rob.
I even told the girls--
I said, I know if we send her home,
Rob's going to hate me forever.
I did not sway it towards Andrea.
Like, that's all.
Thank you.
- We'll be right back.
[chatter]
- Ay, ay, ay.
- That shit was wild.
- Heavy.
- Crazy.
- We don't got to worry about anything, though.
- Crazy.
- We honestly just got our popcorn.
- I know.
I wish I could just--
[chatter]
- I wish I could just, like, take this back and just,
like, watch it, like, eat this while I
watch all the other people.
- No, please.
- Oh my gosh.
Let's go.
- So good. - What a night.
- Crazy night.
- Living the dream.
[applause]
- We're back with the final moments
of the Love Island reunion.
We have time for a few more viewer questions.
Rob, will you ever retire the overalls?
[laughter]
- I will not be retiring the overalls.
And it's not because it's a fashion statement.
It was never a fashion statement.
It's just functional and very comfortable.
I use them-- - Functional?
You have to get naked to pee.
- No I don't. There's a zipper.
- Oh.
Shows what I don't know about overalls.
- No. I'll use them forever.
They're perfect for going in the woods.
You got so many pockets.
They're breathable.
- All right.
- Let's collab.
- How tired were you of eating avocado toast?
- I'll never get tired.
I love avocado toast.
And also, my man was making me more than just avocado toast.
I was getting omelets, French toast, pancakes.
Put some respect on his name.
Don't forget--
[chatter]
- My breakfast wasn't even shown, so--
I wasn't even make breakfast.
- Miguel was making breakfast.
- The day I came into the villa for Casa,
you had just made what looked like an amazing scramble.
And I was very jealous.
- I said I don't make breakfast for nobody, so you know.
- Boys, have all the bromances survived
since leaving the villa?
- Yeah.
I've seen Robin and Cordell in LA.
We we tried to find some snakes together.
[laughter]
- Sorry.
- You tried to catch some snakes together?
- We went-- yeah, we went snake hunting.
- Yeah, we went snake hunting. - Snake hunting?
- And then we did some karaoke.
- Yeah, we did karaoke. - That was pretty fun.
- Oh, at Barney's?
Yeah?
- Kendall and I have seen each other.
Obviously, Aaron and I have seen each other.
We've all gone out.
All the guys that I was with in there, I consider good friends.
And no, I mean, definitely had some bromances
in there and some friendships that I
want to keep for a long time.
- I think one of the most special things about this show
and this season is that there's so many amazing friendships
between the guys and the girls, Casa girls, OG girls,
you name it.
And none of that would have happened if it wasn't
for this show and Love Island.
And you know, I've been lucky enough to be able to watch you
guys form these friendships.
And I'm just really happy for you guys.
And I just think it's really special.
JaNa, what would you say is the most
important lesson that you learned
from this whole experience?
- The most important lesson is to always be a girl's girl.
Make sure you always stand on business
and to always take risks.
[applause] - I love that.
- Thank you.
- Kendall, for the last time, before we wrap up,
can we hear it?
- Here what?
- What was today?
- Oh my god. - Come on.
- All right.
We're getting nasty.
[cheering]
Oh, that felt good.
- I want to thank all of the islanders for being here
and for an amazing season six.
Love Island USA will be back next summer.
And the love story doesn't end there.
We're excited that Love Island Games season two
is coming back in 2025.
Thank you to all of the islanders this summer.
We loved every minute of your time with us.
And to all the fans, we will see you next summer.
I'm Ariana Madix.
Good night, everybody.
[cheering]
