* I can feel this smooth *
* We can make it happen *
* If it's you and me *
Welcome to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
Get ready
for an unforgettable one night stand
with the Islanders of 2022.
We are revisiting all the drama
and unpacking the highs and hardships
our couples faced on their way
to falling in love.
We will be getting answers to all of the questions
you have been dying to ask
about what went down in the villa
and Casa Amor, and what's happened since.
But seriously, since leaving the villa
the Islanders have been busy.
There is so much more to this story
and tonight, they are ready
to spill the tea.
And here they are, the class of 2022!
[cheering]
* I can feel this with you and me *
And who knows, maybe tonight's the night
for some flames to do a little rekindling,
if you know what I mean.
Now, if you're like me, every hookup, breakup, makeup
is seared into your mind.
But in case you need a quick refresher,
let's rewind their incredible
summer of love.
["Love Island" theme song playing]
[Allen Lutrix's "Same Again" playing]
* Nobody beat my love for you *
Here we go!
* Don't give up my love for you *
SARAH: Six weeks ago, ten strangers arrived
at a luxury villa looking for love.
Okay, ladies, shall we meet our first boy?
[screaming] Yes!
SARAH: And together...
Oh, he's fine.
SARAH: ...kicked off an epic adventure.
God bless America.
[laughing]
[cheering]
SARAH: Full of romance and friendships
they'll never forget.
It's, like, really easy for me
to, like, fuck whoever I want.
But like, he's, like, so sweet.
* Do you love me? *
I think I like him too much.
[laughing]
* I just wanna touch you *
SARAH: New arrivals made summer even hotter.
-Oh, there they are! -Shut up!
Bryce and Chad! Bryce and Chad!
-Hey! -Hello.
Holly fucking shit, bro.
* I just wanna touch you, touch you *
SARAH: But for others...
Timmy, you little liar.
SARAH: ...it was an epic burn.
-Joker. -Uh!
[Devin Hoffman's "The Loudest Silence" playing]
* To be broken hearted would have never thought *
SARAH: Connections were tested.
I want you to be honest with me.
-I am. -All right.
So that's all I needed to know.
* Can you hear me? *
[sighs deeply]
* I can't reach you *
I feel very betrayed.
* Leave me in the loudest silence *
* Feelings I can't get through *
SARAH: And only the strongest...
We've come a long way.
SARAH: ...would last.
* Can you hear me? *
* I can't reach you *
I would like to be very exclusive with you.
I'll be exclusive with you.
I do love you.
Oh, my God.
I have a boyfriend!
[cheering]
SARAH: Each goodbye brought heartache.
Two couples will leave the villa immediately.
* There's a quiet in the dark *
* And it's tearing me apart *
That's right, baby!
[sobbing]
* Can you hear me? *
* I can't reach you *
I found what I came here for.
* You give nothing but I'm still trying *
* Leave me in the loudest silence *
[cheering]
My experience here...
[speaking Spanish]
...was robbed because of you.
SARAH: From the 34 Islanders who joined the journey...
***
...just three couples made it to the finale.
[Photronique's "Living Life to No End" playing]
* It'll never be over *
[screaming]
SARAH: But only one could win
"Love Island USA, 2022,"
and a chance at the grand prize
of a massive $100,000.
The winners
of "Love Island USA, 2022..."
are...
Zeta and Timmy.
[cheering]
SARAH: And now, we have a new queen and king.
All hail Zeta and Timmy.
[cheering]
In the immortal words of Zeta...
I want to get my [indistinct] removed.
[laughing]
I fucking love you, Islanders.
We love you too.
You all look amazing.
Thank you.
You look so hot.
-I've missed you, Courtney. -Aw!
I just always want Courtney around
to tell me I'm hot.
-Yes! -[all laughing]
You probably noticed we have three empty tables.
Where are our finalists?
Well, they're on their way
and FYI, they still haven't had any contact
with the outside world.
No phone, no Insta, no dating apps.
Not that they need them anymore,
fingers crossed.
Fresh from the finale,
give it up for our beautiful
third place finalists
and boyfriend and girlfriend,
Deb and Jesse!
[cheering]
I've missed you so much.
And let's get our runners up out here.
Please welcome OG couple,
and now totes
of fish BF/GF,
Sydney and Isaiah.
[cheering]
Okay, time for an audience
with our new queen and king,
please welcome
her and his Royal highnesses
Zeta and Timmy.
[cheering]
Zeta and Timmy, how're you doing?
What is life like being the winners of "Love Island"?
-Phenomenal! -[all laughing]
Less is more right now.
-It's just an amazing feeling. -Yeah.
Let me take you back to day one.
The OGs coupled up,
then bam!
They get hit by bombshells,
Maddy and Val.
A few days later,
in walks the real blonde bombshell, Tyler.
-For real. -[all laughing]
Then, thanks to some people
who shall remain nameless,
[coughs] Jesse and Bria,
Val and Tyler were gone.
Let's see how both got stung by the steels.
["Love Island" theme song playing]
I would like to couple up with this boy
because he is very handsome
and very confident.
So the boy that I would like to couple up with
is Jesse.
* Winning is fun *
I know you do have a strong connection with Deb,
and would you actually rather be coupled up with her?
I wanna make sure that you want to be with me.
Okay, well, Valerie,
I want you to know that I fucking like you.
It's real tough for me right now.
I wanna get to know Valerie, but I have Deb.
I am just lost in the sauce.
He's telling me that he likes me.
I don't know if I should believe it.
Jesse was telling me that, like, he ranks me
like as his number one.
-And so I just wanted-- -He told me he ranked me
as his number one, why would he be telling us
the same thing in the first place?
I'm feeling very much disrespected right now.
I feel like I was being lied to.
That's what I feel, like, right now.
I wanna know where I stand
and I want you to be honest with me.
If I led you on, I am truly sorry.
I don't mean to do that at all.
So now you're saying you're coupled with her.
I am.
All right, so that's I needed to know.
Like, he just literally just didn't have the balls
to say shit how it was.
So the girl I would like to couple up with is...
Debbie Deb.
[Carla Cappa's "Living It Up" playing]
-Oh, my God! -Oh, my God!
Good morning.
There's a hottie in the pool. [laughing]
Then take the glasses off.
[cheering]
He looks like a superhero, I just know
that saving has been what I need, so...
Oh, you are literally sent from heaven.
I would definitely say, like, Sereniti
definitely very easy on the eyes.
Since the first day I came in here,
I felt we had a connection.
So the girl I would like to couple up with is...
Sereniti.
***
Sometimes I just feel like you don't like me.
Yeah, that's your head, girl. I like you.
He tells me how he's just attracted to me,
but I'm trying to figure out
if his words and actions are matching.
How are you feeling with Sereniti and everything?
[sighs] She's a great girl,
but like, I am interested in you.
I chose this girl
because Chazz is capable of giving her
what she's looking for.
So the girl I want Chazz to couple up with
is Sereniti.
***
"Islanders, you must now choose to save
either Zeta or Tyler."
Jesus fucking Christ!
So the Islander we would like to save is...
Zeta.
[Islanders applauding]
Ouch.
Dumpies one and two.
Not titles anyone, particularly once.
[laughing] Damn!
But someone has to be first to go,
-and second. -Yeah.
[laughing]
Now, Valerie.
Did you feel like you were given a fair chance by Jesse?
Not at all.
And I'm not mad at you or anything, I promise you.
I mean, I'm so happy for you guys, I swear.
I just felt like if him, from the start,
could have told me like "Hey, listen.
Like, right now, I really want Deb,"
I feel like that would have given me
the opportunity to like, maybe explore something else.
But, you know, I think everything worked out
the way it was supposed to.
Jesse, how are you feeling about this?
I am deeply, sorry.
I didn't mean to lead you on,
but, you know, you wasn't going to pick me.
You know, you had your option set.
That's true.
Yeah, that was the decision that I actually made.
It was, like, last minute.
At first, I was actually gonna pick Isaiah.
-Mm. -That was like my first choice,
but he didn't know what he wanted,
so it's okay.
-Any regrets? -Not at all.
That's a good way to live life.
I feel like, you know, I came,
I showed myself as I am, and then I got home.
And then, you know, somebody from my past
came back into my life
and now, I'm in a relationship, so...
-What? -[all cheering]
Okay!
No, maybe I didn't find my love in "Love Island,"
but it definitely brought it to me.
So I'm pretty happy.
Oh, my goodness. Well, congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
Now, Tyler.
what made you choose Sereniti over Valerie?
[clears throat] Speak up.
It was just something about Sereniti.
From day one, she just really
made me feel comfortable in here,
making me laugh and smile.
They're both great girls
and it was such a tough decision.
Now was Sereniti right in saying
that your words and actions maybe didn't line up sometimes?
Possibly, in a way it was.
I was a bitter bug. I didn't get cuddled.
[laughing]
I think we made up for it in New Orleans last weekend.
Oh, okay.
[cheering]
Okay!
I was gonna ask if you have been in touch,
but you just said it.
What happened in Orleans last week?
Do you wanna come up here Sereniti?
If you would invite me.
Come on up here.
She rocked the fan.
I can.
[cheering]
-The matching fan. -You know.
The monochromatic look.
I love it.
So, spill please.
As soon as I got out of the villa, I had a message.
It was like, "What's up baby?"
So we exchanged numbers
and we hung out for about three to four days.
Are we seeing each other?
Is there a relationship you were brewing?
Is-- What's happening?
The word we're using is exploring.
-Exploring? -Yes.
We don't know if it's gonna be
romantically or friendship,
we just have a feeling that will be in each other's lives
-for a while and all this-- -For a really long time.
You know, he's a hot commodity, you know?
We got a lot of ladies that are just after him,
but you know, fellas is after me, so...
[cheering]
Let's talk about it.
So what do you mean by the attention
that Tyler's been getting?
-[sighs] -Oh, my God!
You know, people aren't messy boots.
They like to message.
You know, while he's with me and they message him,
"Like, I know you're with her, but hey, I'm here."
And I'm like "Yeah, you're there."
[laughing]
So--
Are they here right now?
No, they couldn't make it gladly.
Oh, shit!
Name them!
Tyler, you're easier to crack.
Who's in your DMs?
I plead the fifth on this one.
-You pleaded the fifth? -Who is it?
Y'all are nosy.
Deb, what do your calculations say?
According to my calculations,
I do recall a bird coming in here
and saying that they were very interested in Tyler
and I can't remember who it is.
[laughing]
Tyler.
Getting dumped and then having everybody
save Zeta must have been really hard.
So what did that feel like for you?
It definitely sucked.
I didn't want my time to end,
especially because I was building
something with Sereniti, but I wanted them to save Zeta.
Her and Timmy are a great couple
and I'm happy that they saved you.
But I mean, you could have gave me one vote guys.
[laughing] I know.
We didn't want you to go.
-Sereniti? -Yes.
As we saw,
Bria stole you for her brother Chazz.
At the start, you gave Chazz an A+.
Well, yeah, you know.
But pretty soon he started slipping
and you ended up giving him a final grade of a double Z.
That's what happens when you steal at school, baby.
Let's have a look.
["Love Island" theme song playing]
So the girl I want Chazz to couple up with is...
Sereniti.
I'm definitely gonna take this opportunity
to get to know him
'cause I think I deserve something great.
Nice little sunny side of a smiley face
with my Black queen.
[laughing] This is actually really cute.
Thank you so much.
You couldn't even get coffee from Tyler!
Acts of service is, like, my love language.
Like, I fucking love that.
Yeah, day one for us is looking good.
I wanted to just put it out there
and say that I was feeling, you know,
less appreciated in the relationship
and feeling like things were a little one sided.
I just wanted to see, like, where your head is at.
Right now, I'm trying, like, my utmost best
to give my all into this relationship,
but I'm still learning it.
I do see potential in Chazz
and I just think that there's always room for fixing
and there's always room for communication.
-What's up Katherine? -Oh, my gosh!
That's for you.
-This looks incredible. -I'm Chazz.
With two "Z"s?
-With two "Z"s. Yeah. -[laughing]
Looks like you pay attention, huh?
Oh, I've been taking notes.
[Everybody Loves an Outlaw's "I See Red" playing]
-Cheers. -Cheers to our first date.
Cheers!
Watching Chazz on his date I was like
"Yeah, there's a lot kiki going over there.
You laughing kinda hard."
How'd it go with you and your milkshakes?
Nah, yeah, it went well though.
You know, it was definitely super fun,
you know, getting to know her.
You looked happy during your date.
-You think so? -Yeah. Very chipper.
I just don't fucking know. I don't know at this point.
I would like to couple up with this girl
because ever since I've been in this villa,
I've had an undeniable connection with this girl.
So the girl that I would like to couple up with is--
Come here Kat.
Wow!
[notification clinks]
"Sereniti, you are now single and dumped from the island.
Please say your goodbyes."
I wish you nothing but the best, sweetheart.
Wear it's whole value, we just want actions.
I hope you find what you're looking for
and maybe you'll give it to the next girl.
Hope for the best.
And I hope it's not you,
I hope you find someone nice,
with you know, gold or something.
Something with diamonds.
-Diamonds made me. -We like diamonds.
* I know, I know, troublemaker *
[cheering]
How do you feel about the way Chazz behaved?
Coming to "Love Island," I really had the ideal,
like, dream of finding love here.
Like, I didn't come here to raise nobody.
Do you think that you got played?
I mean, I made three requests
before the recoupling,
and it was simply that just,
"Don't embarrass me,
don't blindside me and be kind."
And when those weren't presented,
he got a nice, hefty handshake, so...
-[laughing] -Not played.
I'm a grown woman, we don't play
at the playground no more.
Is Chazz a player?
He likes to play, but he's no player.
Do you think that there's anything
you could have done differently?
[giggling sarcastically] Left.
I'm still waiting for him to pack his bag
when I left 'cause he told me he would have left when I did!
The show has been getting a huge amount
of buzz on social media
and we have had people posting
some burning questions.
And we have one for Chazz.
[snorts]
-So Chazz. -What's up?
Here it is.
Why did you sell a dream to Sereniti
only to go for the next bombshell coming in?
[sighs] I wouldn't say I was selling a dream.
You know, I came in
with my eyes set on Sereniti
and, you know, I did my best effort
to, you know, make her feel comfortable and wanted
and give her the intention that she deserved.
I was genuinely trying,
I just wasn't feeling the appreciation back
after everything I was doing.
So when Kat came in
and was giving me, you know, the satisfaction
of the things that I was doing
would be appreciated and stuff like that,
you know, that was music to my ears.
That was the one thing that I wanted, you know,
from Sereniti, but she wasn't giving it to me.
So I took my shot with Kat
and I didn't have any regrets about it.
Sereniti, anything you wanna say?
I mean, his speech,
I'm confused who you were speaking to.
Yeah, the speech, I didn't mean any disrespect.
I didn't want to embarrass Sereniti,
that wasn't my intentions.
But, you know, I said what I said.
If I didn't request those three things from him,
this would be a completely different conversation.
Timmy, you had your hand raised.
I just know Chazz came in here
as a very solid dude, a young guy,
just really trying to, you know, move with his heart.
He seemed very honest to me
and just a genuine guy, so I don't think
anybody's wrong in this situation,
-I just think-- -No! Not at all.
you know, there's just two sides to it.
I just thought it was funny how Zeta and Courtney,
they kind of said that Sereniti villainized me in their eyes,
but they didn't see that on my behalf at all.
You did cook breakfast for her.
You were trying,
you were doing all those things.
And ultimately, that is kind of why
we saved you 'cause we felt like, you know,
you were putting your best foot forward.
How that came across to her and seeing your speech,
you know, coupling up with Kat and all that stuff, you know,
you did come across a bit shady or sketchy
in those ways, but I did feel like it was villainized.
I do agree with that.
I don't think he is a bad kid.
I just think that the way he handled himself at the end,
it just looked like he saw it as a moment to embarrass me
and I wasn't embarrassed because, you know,
I walked out like a champ with cowgirl hat on.
Well, we'll be taking a closer look
at Chazz's journey a little later.
But next, we're gonna grill Deb and Jesse
on their highs and lows,
and highs and lows.
[cheering]
["Love Island" theme song playing]
***
* I'm so fancy, baby *
* You'll see it, yeah *
Hello everyone.
You look so hot.
You do. Can you leave the dress for me?
* If I like it, I buy it *
* I want it, I got *
* I need some kind of appeal to get excited *
This is my sleep mask
but do you guys think I should--
[all laughing]
[all cheering]
Welcome back
to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
Kat and Jared, come on up guys.
[all cheering]
["Love Island" theme song playing]
I'm Jared.
I'm bringing emotional intelligence to the villa.
I think there's a lot of boys out there,
and I'm a man.
I'm Kat. I'm 21 years old.
I know what I want
and I'm looking for a real man.
The girl that I would like to couple up with is--
Come here Kat.
[Feels Like...'s "Falling For You" playing]
* You got me dreaming *
* You got me embedded *
* In all on the feeling *
I kind of realize that there's potential with Jared.
I do vibe with him
and he's just a great guy overall.
Kat, before Casa Amor,
you were in a couple with Chazz.
Tonight, I am deciding
to stay coupled up with Chazz,
but the one person on my mind during the day
and at the end of the day was Jared,
and unfortunately, it didn't come from Chazz,
but it did make me realize
that I had deeper feelings for Jared.
* I think I'm falling *
* Falling for you *
Hello Jared, and welcome Chanse.
I don't feel a spark with these guys.
I don't feel like that connection with these guys.
Like you're in the back of my mind.
I think I do have feelings for her.
She's amazing, that girl,
and she's so beautiful and I'm hoping to see
where it goes from here.
* I think I'm falling in love *
* With you *
* Got me over the moon *
Out of respect for everybody in this situation,
I'm gonna sleep out on the day bed.
* Head over heels for you *
-What's up, dude? -[laughing]
I want my [indistinct].
So Kat, will you be mine?
-Aw! -Sure.
***
I feel very happy, you know?
And Chanse and Jared, you have received
the fewest votes
and your time on "Love Island" is over.
I think we all know on that note...
I won't be staying here.
* Got me over the moon *
* I'm head over heels for you *
* I think I'm falling *
* I think I'm falling for you *
[screaming] Yes, Kat!
Kat and Jared, you walked in together
in slow-mo no less.
When you first saw Jared, did you notice an attraction?
Oh, I mean, immediately.
I didn't even know he was walking in with me and--
I'm pretty sure she thought I was a crew member.
I did think he was crew.
Okay. Now he knows.
Anyways, we're both going into our own dates
that were planned and we, like, had our mindset
on these two people we were gonna get to know
right off the bat.
So I kind of overlooked him, but, I mean,
eventually, I was just like, "Mm, wait a minute.
This man's kind of nice."
[laughing]
So what's been happening since?
Since leaving the villa,
she's already had dinner with my mom.
-Ooh. -Yeah.
They got along really well and then I popped a question.
And, so now you're looking at my--
my girlfriend.
[cheering]
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So let's go back to Casa Amor.
Talk us through your Casa experience.
I had to give it the shot.
I don't think I ever really got the chance
to explore everything,
and had, like, the fair chance to do that,
so Casa Amor was that opportunity to do so.
Obviously, I had a connection with Chanse,
brought her back to the villa.
And I don't regret it because I do think, like,
even if it wasn't me, she deserved a chance
to meet any of the lovely guys over here
and make a connection.
Now Kat, it must have been difficult for you.
I mean, I--
I knew his circumstance
and situation was different than mine.
He was single
and I was coupled up with Chazz,
and I knew that no matter what
if he did come back with someone
or if-- you know, I was just gonna be like
"Listen, man, this is me.
I'm really into you."
I've never confessed my feelings.
And, yeah, it just felt good
to get it off my chest
and then, you know, see where time took us.
I'd say curiosity, killed the Kat,
but satisfaction brought it back.
-So, that's what I'm saying. -Oh!
Chanse, how did it feel
for you being brought back
to the villa
and then having this kinda happen
right off the cat back?
I mean, I was definitely shocked in the beginning
because when I spoke to Jared in Casa Amor
he didn't really go into depth
about his relationship with Kat.
But they cleared that up the next day
and good experience throughout.
[Islanders applauding]
Another couple who also chose
to make it much harder than necessary
was Deb and Jesse.
["Love Island" theme song playing]
Please step forward
if Jesse looks like the man for you.
Deb is definitely my type for sure.
I work as a courier so I deliver packages.
I always flirt with my package delivery guys.
Oh, yeah? Like "Hey, how you doing?"
[screaming]
Jesse is kind of checking a lot of boxes.
The boy that I would like to couple up with is Jesse.
* I can't help the statement *
I want to get to know Valerie a little bit more,
but I have Deb who really relates to me.
* Don't wanna give more than I get *
I would like to couple up with Kyle.
***
I just saw Jesse walking being single
and the look on his face
and I could just see, like, love and hurt
in his eyes.
And it honestly made me fall for him more.
I miss him so much.
I am just lost in the sauce, I feel like right now.
You think we can get through it?
I wanna try to.
I do think this is a test to show her
I will keep trying and trying.
* 'Cause when it's good it's great *
Just starting to hit our stride
and I wanna to continue this ride outside the villa.
Obviously, I would love to be your girlfriend one day.
Like, that would be amazing, but I don't know
if I'm, like, ready for something,
like, that serious.
* Nothing worth fighting for comes easily *
Now it's just do-- I say, "Fuck it," and move on?
* I wanna give everything I've got *
I think I was just scared in the moment.
I'm just scared you're gonna hurt me.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Are you sure?
You're ready to take this next step?
Mm-hmm.
* You're the only one I want *
Would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?
Yes! [laughing]
Oh, my God! We did it!
It was so hard.
* I'm not ready to go *
I got you a girlfriend!
-Uh, you do? -I do! [screaming]
-Oh, my God! -Y'all fucking crazy.
This is my boyfriend Jesse.
Yes, this is my girlfriend Deb, man.
This is crazy.
* 'Cause when it's good it's great *
[Islanders cheering]
Here I am with our third place finalists,
Deb and Jesse.
-How does it feel? -I really look at it
as a representation
of a caterpillar to a butterfly.
Started off just crawling and now we got our wings.
And I still ain't came down from that Ferris wheel.
Yes, sir.
Okay, let's take it back to day one.
Deb, you stepped forward immediately for Jesse.
He's so hot. Look at him.
-He's gorgeous. -She's way too good for me.
What is it about him that you are attracted to?
Once we talked,
I realized that he was, like, nice too.
Which was crazy.
And we have very similar values and morals.
And then,
just going through this whole experience together
and growing together has really brought us closer.
It's been really cool actually.
Like, we have definitely had our struggles.
We've gone at our own pace.
But we made it through.
And you are officially girlfriend and boyfriend.
-Yes. -So, where do you go from here?
You know, first I was actually needed to get his number.
Oh, yes. It's important.
I know hers by heart though.
-He has mine memorized. Yeah. -Really?
-Oh, my God. That's so cute. -I know.
But yeah, I'll probably end up in Texas.
I don't think I'll last very long without him.
So, I think he's moving to California.
Yeah, my lease is up at the end of September
so I'm moving.
-So, he'll be close. -That's soon.
-Yeah. -[both chuckling]
Well, we have loved watching your journey.
All the highs, all the lows.
Please give Deb and Jesse a round of applause.
[Islanders cheering]
Thank you. We did it.
Still to come, the siblings who split the villa family.
The Islanders settle their unfinished business
and of course the Casa Amor love triangle
that almost destroyed one of our strongest couples.
#Drama.
[Islanders cheering]
["Love Island" theme song playing]
Welcome back to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
This season we saw something we have never seen before,
a dictionary in the bedroom.
True story.
Also, we saw the very first brother/sister duo
ever to enter "Love Island" anywhere in the world.
I would love to say that after Bria and Chazz arrived
it was all happy families
but it really kinda wasn't.
***
[Islanders cheering]
Wassup?
I'm Brie!
Very nice to meet you. I'm Jesse.
Welcome to the madness.
Are you guys each other's type?
-Nope. -Oh, my goodness.
This chick is funny as hell.
That's a no for me because that's my brother.
What?
Oh, shit.
Most of yous are going to have to make her feel comfortable
because I already know she about it steal my lad,
I ain't got it in me.
I want to get to know your sister for sure
cause she caught my eye.
The boy I want Bria to couple up with is...
-Timmy. -Uh, kick rocks.
Smart move.
I feel like I do owe it to myself to get to know Bria.
Can't think about our outcome right now.
I can only think about where I am at.
I'm very much excited just to kind of get to know you.
Just be with you.
I like it. See you in bed soon.
Hey, what did I say?
Bria might have given me a peck on my lips,
you know what I am saying?
We have a good vibe. So, I don't know.
Oh, my God.
The only thing that's between us, you could say,
is that we're interested in the same guy.
That's literally it. But you are trying to,
like, give me the cold shoulder at times.
It doesn't matter.
I don't have to explain to you nothing.
It was nice talking to you.
I wish I could say the same.
You are just a hater and I felt that from the get.
Okay. That was cute.
Truth or dare Timmy?
I'm gonna do a truth.
Who would you rather be in a couple with right now,
at this very moment?
Zeta.
Oh, shit.
Right now, for sure.
That's very sweet, Timmy.
Wasn't expecting that to be your answer.
I was just kind of bummed.
I'm in a pickle, you know what I'm saying?
I just feel like...
I love pickles.
I feel a lot of strong feelings towards Zeta.
So, that's who you want to go with?
Yeah.
To feel like you are not good enough for someone
after you open up to them.
Like, that hurts your feelings.
That always happens to me.
Girls, could you tell us who you want to save?
Bria or Mady?
Mady.
***
I still like there is unfinished business
for me at the villa.
I feel like I left too soon.
I feel like under different circumstances
that the connection between Timmy and I
would have worked out differently.
But I don't have too many regrets.
[Islanders cheering]
Bria, how you doing? You're looking good.
Thank you. I'm doing all right.
How did it feel like walking in with your brother?
Like, I felt good because I felt like
I had someone on my team just off the bat.
And it kinda made me more at ease,
going into everything.
When Chazz coupled you up with Timmy,
-is that what you wanted? -Yeah.
Were you concerned about how Zeta might feel?
Um, no.
Because I felt like, you know,
that's kind of the name of the game.
And just talk us through how it all played out.
So, I want to start by saying that
I don't feel like I got a fair shot.
Or that like Timmy gave me one.
Even though he had, like, an interest in me.
Like, that's where his heart was.
I wish that he would have just told me sooner
instead of wasting my time.
Timmy?
I was put in a position
where I was taken out of my couple with Zeta
to be with Bria.
That was out of my control.
I do apologize if it came off as me leading you on.
But that definitely was not my intent.
Zeta, I could see you shaking your head there.
I'm like, unwilling?
You told her bro, like,
"I want to get to know your sister."
That was willing. Fully willing.
Yeah, what she said is true.
I don't know if he was, like,
dragged to be coupled with me
kicking and screaming [indistinct].
But, yeah.
Not telling me about the kiss,
he could have made his decision then.
But he chose to waste my time.
-Timmy? -That kiss was not
choreographed, it wasn't planned.
I do understand, you know, how that looks.
But that was just me putting myself first
and following my heart.
And Bria, how do you feel about Timmy right now?
I felt like I deserved better.
Instead of leading me on,
I wish that he just would have told me.
But I was the one who had to get that answer out of him.
Things got a little hostile with Zeta.
How are you two now?
I think we are good. We left on a good note.
Talked it out, we got through it, we got past it.
At the end of the day, we are just strong women.
It was really amazing seeing you two
come together after all of that.
[Islanders cheering]
At least you did couple up with Timmy.
But one couple was tragically torn apart
before they could even get together.
It was like if Romeo and Juliet were about to swipe right
and their cellphones died.
Cue the greatest love story that never was.
***
-Hi. -Hello.
So, where you from? Massachusetts?
[indistinct] for life.
-Hmmm, okay. Okay. -Yeah. Born and raised there.
Dating for marriage now.
You know, I really want to find someone and settle down.
I am, like, dating to marry.
I always say that I want a best friend and a lover.
That's a really, really great thing.
Bella pulled me aside.
And we had a really, really good conversation.
She kinda blew me away.
So, I'm excited to get to explore that a little bit more.
What sign are you?
Taurus.
Cancer and Taurus that's, like, good.
I feel really good about the conversation
and the energy between me and Joel.
I'm not going to get too excited yet.
I got excited over the connection
that me and Chazz had.
And look where that's fucking going right now.
You really kinda swept me off my feet last night.
Oh, really? Yeah.
I mean, I definitely have feelings for Chazz.
But yeah, you definitely caught my eye when you walked in.
I was like, "Oh, he's cute."
I definitely do have a strong attraction to Joel.
I am open to seeing where that possible connection could go.
-Can I kiss you? -Sure.
Oh, fuck. I got to tell Chazz.
The girl I want to marry,
the conversations have been endless.
And we had our first kiss today.
So, Miss Bella, will you marry me?
Things get messy. Things get saucy. So--
Yeah.
Fuck, man.
So, fucking hard.
[Islanders cheering]
Bella and Chazz, your time on "Love Island" is over.
I'm feeling like my time with Joel was definitely cut short.
I'm definitely going to try and reach out to Joel,
when he gets out of the villa.
If that's meant to happen, then it's meant to happen.
It was really rough.
-Was it? -Yeah.
Bella and me really, really hit it off.
We both agreed that we were going to couple up.
And then they sent her home.
-So-- -Oh, my God.
I came here to "Love Island"
hoping to explore new relationships.
And I think that I did.
I have some deep feelings for Bella.
I can't wait to see if it-- if it becomes something real.
[Islanders cheering]
[boys chanting Joel]
Bella and Joel, come on, get up here you two.
Get those [indistinct] up here.
Oh, thank you.
-Look at that booty, though. -Damn.
Joel.
-How's it going? -Tell me about that whirlwind
of the 24 hours with Bella.
Yeah, you know, whirlwind is definitely
a good way to describe it.
It was just an instant, very genuine connection.
And she just really swept me off my feet.
[girls screaming]
[Islanders cheering]
So, what's going on with this right now?
-Have you seen each other? -Nope.
This is the first time seeing each other.
-Oh, wow. -Yeah.
I'm so happy that
we could reunite you guys tonight.
And now that he's in front of you.
Bella, is there anything that you want to say?
So not going to lie,
me and Chazz did share a couple of kisses
when I did leave the villa with him.
Kind of like a goodbye kiss.
But I definitely was thinking of Joel the entire time.
And as crazy as it sounds--
-Sorry Chazz. -Yeah. Sorry Chazz.
-I apologize. -No hard feelings.
I'm just being honest here.
Yeah, I did wake up the next morning and was like,
"Shit, I really fucking wish
that I was still in there with Joel."
You are being very calm about this kiss
that happened after the villa.
I found out in the pod cast earlier.
-Amanda-- -Okay.
It was-- it was news to me but it's not like
I wasn't in here kissing other girls too.
So, no hard feelings. I totally get it.
Is there anything you want to say?
Yeah.
I-- I wrote you a poem.
[boys cheering]
I love poems.
[chanting Joel]
It's called "I've been dreaming."
[audience exclaiming]
I've been dreaming of that look in your eye.
Looking into them, I feel like I can fly.
Like a bird or a plane, I sore through the sky.
A feeling like no other, I've never felt this high.
But most of all, I've been dreaming of us together.
13 long days, clouds over my head,
I can't escape the bad weather.
I just want to hold you in my arms,
I want to make you feel better.
So, what do you say Bella?
Just you, me and the stars
Should we make this night last forever?
[Islanders cheering]
What?
That was fucking beautiful.
Oh, my God, that was so beautiful.
-Holy, shit. -Oh, my God.
I'm getting all the feels, Joel.
That was so cute.
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.
That is like the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
I've wanted something like this for so long.
Like so, so long.
And like, it is such a short amount of time.
I just felt something so special.
-Thank you. -Of course.
Thank you.
[Islanders cheering]
Well, that felt good.
Didn't it? I got all the feels.
Joel finally got his girl. I feel lighter.
Coming up, we break down the game of the biggest players
in the villa and of course Casa Amor.
Yup, we are going there.
[Islanders cheering]
Oh, my God.
[cheering continues]
["Love Island" theme song playing]
[Islanders cheering]
Welcome back to a little party
I like to call "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
[Islanders cheering]
Courtney, so good to see you.
-You too. -Yeah.
-[Islanders laughing]
-You came here to find love. -Yeah.
And a couple times it looked like
you actually might have found it.
-Yeah. -And I love
how much you embodied the spirt of "Love Island."
Oh, thank you.
Even when it didn't go your way.
You were giving people a shot
and you were trying to find a reason to say yes.
Yeah.
[Islanders cheering]
I would love to couple up with Courtney.
Okay.
I'm looking for, like, a manly man.
I just wanted to, like, not put all my eggs
in one basket at first.
There's like the sexual tension between us.
Felipe is like really hot.
The girl I would like to couple up with is....
Courtney.
Out of the two guys that just showed up,
kiss who you are most interested in.
I knew it. I knew it.
-Did you know it? -I knew it.
I'm so excited to get to know Bryce.
He is just like such a breath of fresh air.
He really puts an effort to, like,
get to know me on a deeper level.
And I feel like Felipe just doesn't really do that.
So, the boy I would like to couple up with is...
Bryce.
I'm like a very passionate person.
So, I need to be with someone who is on the same level.
There is no lack of passion. At least on my side.
The boy that we've decided to dump is...
Bryce.
I'm going to make out with Jordan tonight.
Courtney and Chad make out.
All right.
I made out with Chad.
He's a really good kisser actually.
How do you feel about us?
I like you.
He's tall, dark and handsome.
And we connect on a deep, like, goofy ass level.
I'd like to couple up with Chad.
Congratulations, Chad.
Aww.
How do you feel?
I think we are on different pages.
Maybe we should just both be open.
So, the girl I would like to couple up with is...
Mackenzie.
How sweet.
[cellphone chiming]
[Islanders cheering]
Gosh, you're so pretty.
Thank you.
I feel sad to be leaving of course.
But at the same time,
I'm just a person who knows my worth.
So, it's hard for me to settle.
And the love I want is loyal,
genuine and pure.
***
[Islanders cheering]
Wow.
-Definitely a journey. -You're damn right.
So, why do you think you didn't make a connection?
I consistently knew what I wanted.
And what I was looking for just wasn't here.
And I just felt like it would be easier
to pursue the connection that I did make, like, outside.
Are you talking about anybody specific?
-Yeah. -Yeah?
-Yeah. -Are they sexy?
-Yeah. Of course. -Yeah.
Do you fucking know me?
-They have to be sexy. -They have to be sexy.
Who are you talking about?
-Bryce. Yeah. -Oh.
I think we need to bring Bryce up here.
I think we need to reunite
at this reunion.
This sexy reunion.
I was waiting for it.
Yes.
Yes, I miss the sexy Courtney kisses.
I know. I miss having them here.
[both laugh]
Bryce, it is so good to see you.
-It is good to see you too. -How are you feeling?
I feel good. I feel great. Yeah.
So, what's the update?
What's the 4-1-1?
Okay, well we drove here yesterday from LA together
because I took too long to get ready and we missed the train.
So, we had our first date on the beach and then--
Yeah. We came here.
And it was actually, like, the best accident
that has happened with us.
-Yeah. -Why do you think
it didn't work out in the villa?
It really seemed as if Courtney and I
were on the same page for the majority of the time there.
There was a few misunderstandings.
But at the end of the day,
it kind of matters where you end up.
It happened one way or another.
-Aww. -Yeah.
Now we do have a question from social media for you.
I actually don't regret choosing Chad because
I am happy that he has found someone
who is on the same level as him.
And I was put through a test
where I remained true to knowing my worth.
Like, I know who the fuck I am.
And I deserve better.
-Oh, that's sexy. -Thank you.
Well, we are all looking forward to seeing
what happens for both of you.
It's so exciting.
Keep staying sexy, Courtney.
-Always and forever. -Let's get a round of applause
for the two of them.
[Islanders cheering]
Yay.
And now, it is time to take a look at someone else
who tried to find a connection again
and again and again.
***
["Love Island" theme song playing]
Welcome back to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
Six weeks of drama just wasn't enough.
Thankfully we got one more night.
***
We sent the boys away
on a little mini break to Casa Amor.
Your boys are going to be spending the next few days
-getting to know 6-- -6?
...brand new girls.
-Hey. -Hey.
Holy, fucking shit.
Casa Amor.
If you ain't here man, you wish you would be here.
Honestly.
We're vibing. I can't believe--
Yeah. Look at us, day two.
-Yeah. -Are you in love with me?
-You have soft lips. -Do I?
You do too.
What am I going to do with you? You're trouble.
I am trouble.
I'm about to throw up.
It's really gross.
I much rather have gone
to the Hideaway with you.
-Really? -Yeah. But you know.
How do you feel about sleeping with me tonight?
I would sleep in bed with you tonight.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Maybe we should make that happen.
I'm still like weighing my decision.
Because I know the stuff that happened
between me and you was beautiful.
-Yeah. I missed you last night. -Yeah?
-Yeah. -I missed you.
All the feelings I had for Gabby were genuine.
The feelings that I'm trying to explore
and accumulate with Bella are genuine as well.
So, its just like-- damn.
It's one of the biggest decisions that I've had--
I just want to go with what my heart is feeling.
Tonight, I am deciding to stay
coupled up with Chazz.
Now let's find out what Chazz has decided is best for him.
Oh, shit.
[Islanders cheering]
-Casa Amor, eh? -Yeah.
I took the time to have fun
because I knew nobody back here was thinking about me, so--
-Damn. -It was Chazza Amor, baby.
But Chazz,
you really took full advantage, didn't you?
I sure did.
You gave the [indistinct] a good go.
I definitely did.
You tried your best to find love.
From Sereniti, Kat,
Gabby, Bella and Phoebe.
I tried giving my 100%, you know, to Sereniti.
And I tried giving my 100% to Kat.
And then, you know, that didn't work out.
So I was like, "okay",
Casa Amor presented itself to me.
So, I'm going to take this opportunity to, you know,
take my time this time to get to know these girls
and see who I have a strong connection with.
And yeah, it was a short amount of time, those four days.
So, took the two days to get to know Gabby.
Me and her had a nice little connection going on.
We even went in the Hideaway.
And you know, Bella was always on my list.
So if you had an initial attraction with Bella,
why did you take Gabby to the Hideaway?
She was down for the experience
and so was I and, you know, I got to know Bella
after the Hideaway because I wanted to take that chance.
And you see where that lead.
Would you have rather taken Bella
or Gabby to the Hideaway?
Bella.
But that's not how things went.
So, Chazz, how do you think Gabby felt
when you moved on to Bella?
I honestly don't think
Gabby might have felt too much betrayal
or whatever you want to call it.
You know, I was definitely open
and honest to her about me wanting to get to know Bella.
And so, I brought her back.
[Sarah sighing]
Well, should we find out
what Gabby thinks?
Oh, Gabby.
-Yes. -No, way.
Shut the fuck up.
Hey, Islanders.
Chazz, you missed me?
[Islanders cheering]
-Hi! -How you doing?
-Doing good. -Nice to see you.
-Oh, God. -What a [indistinct] surprise.
Hi. Good to see you.
Oh my god. So weird to be back.
Hi Gabby.
-Hi, how are you? -How are you?
Doing good.
Let's get straight to it.
How was your connection with Chazz in Casa Amor?
I don't know.
I thought we had a pretty strong connection.
And obviously we went to the Hideaway.
We were having pillow talk and he was basically like,
"I'm taking you back to the villa."
-Oh. -And--
Next day, just left me in the dust.
And yeah, it was a shock that he took Bella back.
But I love her. I was super happy for her.
How did you feel about being
"left behind in the dust"?
Ah, it sucked.
But you know what? He did me a favor.
Because I think I deserve better than that.
Talk about it.
[girls cheering]
Chazz, do you think you lead Gabby on?
Cause it kind of sounds like it.
Like, you know you said that to me.
I definitely did say that to you.
But that was prior to me having that conversation with Bella.
And getting to know somebody that
I wanted to get to know in Casa Amor.
I don't even know how that's even possible.
Like, I felt that was all bullshit.
And, like, I can't really believe
anything that you say at this point.
I mean, you don't have to.
That's why I didn't bring you back.
Oh.
It's like the shit you said-- like, watching it back.
It did not sit well with me.
Hearing you, like, the day after
we went to the Hideaway,
telling Bella that
you would rather be with her in the Hideaway.
The worst part about it was the next day
after you said something in bed,
I came out and you were holding her outside.
That was, like, the worst thing ever.
Like, I felt like you just moved so fucking fast.
-Bria, hi. Yeah? -Hi.
What's up?
Oh, man. What's going on?
Talk to me.
How does this feel hearing all of this about your bro?
I know.
Man, you know, I do know how you feel Gabby,
I must say.
To be lead on and it's hurtful.
So, I completely get where you are coming from.
And I do feel like Chazz definitely owes you an apology
and some sort of explanation for how that all, you know--
how those events came about.
Thanks Bria. It means a lot.
I do take full responsibility and apologize for, you know,
maybe leading you on.
And making you feel some type of way
from saying one thing and doing another.
You're a wonderful girl and you deserve way more than that.
So, I know that what I said was wrong.
I don't know.
I just wish I, like, went a different direction,
when walking into Casa, you know?
Well Gabby, thank you so much for coming back.
-Of course. -And Chazz,
we have enjoyed watching the magic happen.
I guess that's just the crazy power of two z's.
[Islanders chuckling]
I suggest we all take a quick breather
because right after this we are getting into
the biggest love triangle of the season.
Brace for impact.
Oh, shit.
["Love Island" theme song playing]
Welcome back to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
Which means reconnecting with the good and the...
what is the word for the complete opposite of good?
Oh, shoot.
Ah, yes. Casa Amor.
We have talked a little bit about Casa already,
but we can't leave it without taking a look
at the impact and fall out
from the most dramatic love triangle of 2022.
***
Do you think we're the strongest couple in here?
100 percent.
[indistinct] kind of puts your relationship to the test.
-Hey! -[screaming]
[cheering]
-Ah, she's driving me crazy. -I know.
When I like a guy, like, I just get, like, very attached,
it's, like, so bad.
All natural, she's fucking gorgeous,
I'm just saying, like, an 11 out of 10 bro.
Phoebe definitely seems very genuine.
Obviously that spark and that shit's undeniable.
Sydney's in the back of my head,
but, like, she's not.
I'm definitely getting a vibe from you a little bit.
-For sure. -I know I like you.
The vibe with me and Phoebe is definitely growing,
I didn't really see it coming, to be honest.
* It's no way back *
I'm really just trying to figure out
if I'm gonna bring Phoebe back to the Villa or not.
For me to consider Phoebe is, like, a really big thing
and I feel like I wouldn't really be doing that
for no reason.
I'm so scared.
If Isaiah walked in with another girl,
I would feel heartbroken.
I don't know if we would be able to come back from it.
The reason why I'm so fucked up
is because I thought I had a genuine thing,
I was gonna ask Sydney to be my girlfriend.
Like when he comes home,
I'm just gonna tell him, like, my truest feelings
and be like, "I really like you, like, can we date?"
I just, like, want a chance with you.
Then I'll give you one.
* 'Cause once falling in down [indistinct] fall again *
* This time we'll break it through *
I would like to stay coupled up with Isaiah.
Okay, let's see.
[The EverLove's "Get Back Up" playing]
* If I fall, are you gonna catch me? *
[groans]
* Can you come through? *
I just thought what we had was more than that
but I guess I was wrong.
I still have a ton of feelings for you,
I'm just genuinely trying to figure out
what I truly want and what my heart wants.
I'm in a fucking rock, between a hard place for damn sure.
[groans]
Fuck this, like, I literally am not gonna take this shit.
It's just fucking bullshit
when I sit here
and I'm so fucking, like,
I'm just not this girl.
-I like him so much. -I know.
I cannot be more sorry for what I did to you.
Phoebe my options are closed, I'm all for you,
I just want you to know that.
I don't even know if I should, like, go back to you.
I want to move on from this
and, like, bury the hatchet...
but you still need to prove yourself to me.
I will be more than happy to make it up to you.
To show you how much I like you.
[Que Derry's "Cause I'm All About You" playing]
* We can go higher up *
* When it is going where need to be *
So the girl I would like to couple up with is...
* We were made to be alone *
Sydney.
* Cause I'm all about you *
* Hey, baby *
-What are you doing? -Hi gorgeous.
This is so cute.
Oh, my God.
As long as I can make her smile
and make her feel like a special woman,
that's all I really care about.
I do love you.
And I hope that you'll be my girlfriend.
Oh, my God!
[John Coggins' "The Moments When" playing]
* These are the moment [indistinct] *
* All of the memories, and all the first times *
-So why did you pick me? -Because you're a good mystery.
You seem like my kind of guy.
I've just never had a want
to fight for something so much.
My feelings for Sydney are a lot stronger
than I've ever had with anybody else.
* Remember all the moments when *
I think there's definitely a bright future in front of us.
* [indistinct] *
[cheering]
First off you two,
I have to say congratulations
for coming in second place.
-Thank you. -It's so exciting.
[applauding]
Well, Sydney,
how does what you have just watched
compare to what was in your head?
[sighs]
I feel like I'm glad I saw it.
It wasn't-- it wasn't easy.
The first few days during Casa I felt really calm...
and then the night of the recoupling,
I had a horrible feeling
so then I knew-- I knew
that he didn't get his chance to explore
when he went in there.
So, that's sort of creeping up on the back of my mind
but we did come out stronger...
and I'm glad it's over with.
-[chuckles] -Yeah.
Isaiah, how're you doing?
Obviously, I don't want to see her like this,
-You know what I mean? -Yeah.
She's definitely been through a lot.
Isaiah, you and Sydney
left each other in a good strong place.
Talk us through what happened
when you went to Casa and met Phoebe.
I was pretty--
very, very in the middle of a lot of things,
I didn't really know how I was feeling most of the time.
And once you knew that you had a connection with Phoebe,
what was going through your mind?
Well, I felt like I could definitely try
to take a risk with someone other than Sydney
'cause I hadn't really had an open experience [indistinct]
and things definitely weren't solid or 100 percent at all.
But I definitely was giving Phoebe,
you know, a chance for sure.
But ultimately, you know,
literally the day after Casa
I definitely knew that I wanted to make things right...
because I knew that she was what I wanted.
Sydney, was there a point
that you thought that you couldn't forgive Isaiah?
Yeah.
The night that Phoebe told me everything that happened,
I definitely, like, was really pissed off and I just...
reality hit me that like, "Wait,
I don't have to go back to him."
And what brought you back to him?
What was that moment?
[sighs]
Him just fighting for me, I think.
I remember you saying
you know what you deserve and that you deserved more.
Mm-hmm.
Do you think you have what you deserve now?
Yeah, I do.
I think he's more than proved himself to me
so I feel really happy.
[laughs]
Well, Sydney and Isaiah,
this is the reason why Casa Amor is there,
to put relationships to the test.
And if you can stand the pressure,
you stand a pretty good chance of making it.
You two dug deep
and after a couple of wrong turns,
you finally made it official.
And, Sydney, you've got a boyfriend now.
-I know. -You got a boyfriend.
[laughing]
-How does it feel? -It feels so good.
I'm really happy.
The feelings are mutual, for sure.
What was it that clicked for you, Isaiah, with Sydney
and made you want to take things to the next level?
She definitely makes me smile,
laugh like I never had before a lot of the times.
Even when I'm, you know, feeling like shit,
she always brings me back up to the top, you know what I mean?
And also, you know, keeping me humble as well,
you know, a girl that definitely keeps you grounded,
someone that doesn't let you get away with shit,
is definitely something to be proud of, you know what I mean?
There's just so many different things honestly,
but honestly that's what makes me love Sydney, so...
Do you think you're gonna be
moving in together in the future?
What's the next milestone here?
Moving in together.
Engagement. Wedding. Babies.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. -Er, no, no.
-He's good with babies. -Yeah.
Um- I-- no.
Definitely, I think we obviously are official
but I think there is still time
to go at our own pace with that.
You know what I mean?
I don't know if I would go to LA
or she said that she would, you know,
wouldn't mind coming to Miami.
So it would definitely depend, but...
No kids for a long fucking time.
That would be a future talk but--
Well, you've already had twins.
You did a pretty good job at it, so...
I don't know. What happens, happens.
Well, more than most,
you have been through so many highs and lows
and we have loved watching you.
[cheering]
Although Sydney and Isaiah were officially loved up,
it wasn't the end of the line for Phoebe.
No, she kept trying hard
but as we'll see next,
her road to love did not get easier.
[cheering]
***
Welcome back to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
So, Phoebe entered as a Casa girl,
she's brought back to the Villa
and immediately is left stranded.
What does she do? Leave?
Hell no.
She shakes it off
and goes straight for the thing she wants.
The thing called "Chad."
***
I know we just met
but I want to snog this boy
because I like looking at him.
[cheering]
I feel something brewing.
Did I want to, like, keep kissing you
and, like, do other dirty things to you?
Like, yeah.
I'm definitely interested in you,
like, I can't, like, deny it.
-Where is Chad? -In the nook.
I mean, it was undeniably amazing.
I think Courtney is not happy with any girl
who has my interest besides her.
***
Hi boys!
Oh, shit.
Do you guys have a beer for me or what?
-Welcome to the barbecue. -A big wow, you know?
Whoa!
I was in a little bit of a triangle there
with Courtney and Chad but I still want him
so he can forget about Courtney for a little bit.
Yeah.
The girl I'd like to couple up with is...
Mackenzie.
I guess Phoebe and Chad kissed before the re-coupling tonight.
I need a [indistinct].
How are you feeling about Chad?
I'm feeling good. I really like being around him.
-Come here. -Shit.
I don't see Phoebe as a threat.
-Whoa. Sorry. -Hi.
Oh, hi.
I did just kiss Chad.
I needed to put that out there.
Chad has very much downplayed his feelings
towards you Phoebe
and I'm just being honest about that.
A little unfair for you to say
that he downplayed his feelings towards me.
Me and Chad are just so comfortable with each other,
like the more we hang out, the more we just grow.
We have like this, like, sexual tension between the two of us.
Do you wanna share a couple with me or what?
I mean, I would definitely like to be in a couple with you.
We have decided to save Chad.
Um, actually, before the guys spoke,
I wanted to say something.
I will be leaving the Villa tonight,
I think that Phoebe should definitely stay.
Will you be my partner?
I will.
[cheering]
* I came to get my *
Well, one thing I know for sure
is that Phoebe's favorite shape is a triangle.
Yeah.
Phoebe, you were not messing around in that Villa.
A lot of connections, Isaiah, Chazz and Chad.
If you wanted your man,
even if he was with someone else, you went for it.
Do you think that you have ultimately
found the right one in Chad?
100 percent.
I wouldn't have changed anything
about how my journey went,
I think it just took me a little longer
and it took me putting myself out there a little more times
than some people that were in the Villa.
You know, the kissing in the challenge and I was like,
"Okay, like, that felt good
and it was the first person in a while
I genuinely, like, vibed with."
Chad, how are you feeling about Phoebe right now?
I'm definitely fucking with her you know, it's dope.
[laughing]
No, it's-- it's nice,
we just like some weird ass shit.
Yeah, we love weird ass shit.
-Yeah, we do. -[laughing]
But when I say weird ass shit,
I mean, you know, like, the microbiology.
Yes.
That like, we talk about shit like that,
like physics and math and stuff like that,
which a lot of people would be probably pretty bored about.
It sounds boring but it's fun.
It sounds boring.
Well Chad, I do want to ask you about Courtney.
-Yeah. -Of course.
Now did you have real feelings for Courtney?
I definitely-- I was having a vibe with her.
We spent a lot of time, you know, together.
You know, a lot of good conversations and everything.
Courtney, do you not think that Chad behaved well?
I've re-watched everything
so I saw everything behind the scenes too,
and in the same week,
he was entertaining three of us.
And I just deserve someone
who knew what was in front of them.
But I'm just thankful that we got to the point
of being on the same page
of understanding that we're on different pages.
I love that,
"We got to the same page
of understanding we're on different pages."
-Yeah. -[laughing]
I-- Courtney-- like, I do want Courtney to know
that there was never a time when she was with Chad
that I pursued-- pursued him, besides our challenge.
Where I put him on the ground and kissed him.
Just cause I like, I just wanted to kiss him.
Do you have hopes
to continue your weird ass shit for the future?
[laughing]
I think that our entire story
has been just-- just, like, this, like, open,
free-flowing, like, dynamic, like, connection
that takes its own pace and...
-Am I wrong? -Oh, no, I just--
-Okay. -[indistinct]
Yeah, like, I don't like a thing
like, we're not, like, that like categorizes it.
Yeah.
I think, like, honestly, if you put it, like, into perspective
like, you know, this is cool,
you know, we'll see what happens.
Pressure isn't necessarily, like, my strong suit.
[laughs] Yeah.
Well, we are all very pleased
to see whatever this is that you guys have.
[laughing]
Weird ass shit is the best.
[indistinct]
[laughing]
[applauding]
[cheering]
This is "Love Island USA, The Reunion"
and I am so glad we're here
because I'm still trying to make sense of this one.
Easily the most unexpected and shocking break-up
in the show's history.
On the eve of the finale,
the couples voted to determine the finalists.
But, it took a very unexpected turn.
Let's revisit the last 48 hours.
***
* You ain't ready for me *
Hey.
What's up little baby, how you doing?
I like this little vibe we have going on.
-Yeah, for sure. -This is good.
I'll take you home to my momma right now.
Don't tell me that.
-Don't play with me. -We'll see.
I'm trying to learn Spanish for her.
[giggles]
[speaks in Spanish]
That was so fucking cute.
Thank you.
I just really, really do like you a lot.
Don't nobody ever make me feel
the way you make me feel, for real.
I think that every day I'm here
I just, like, kinda fall more and more, like, for him.
Falling for you is, like, a big step type of shit.
You really think you're like falling, like, in love with me?
I am.
I'm falling for you too, Jeff.
When are you gonna ask me to be your girlfriend?
I don't think I haven't been thinking about that now.
I always wanted to be with the right woman though, one day.
Okay, cheers to the Hideaway.
***
I love Deb, I love Jesse,
I don't know if I love them together.
I don't think-- I don't think,
I think Jesse should find better.
So, the couple we decided to send home is...
Jesse and Deb.
We have decided to send home Chad and Phoebe.
Buddy, buddy shit bro.
-You say, buddy, buddy-- -Yeah.
You talking buddy like I said it.
-I'm coming to you bro. -What you saying?
[indistinct]
No, what are you doing?
[indistinct]
Why did you get so mad at me
for saying "I'm sorry" to Timmy?
Because you didn't console me,
I'm supposed to be your man.
You have projected
so many of your insecurities onto me.
I just don't think this is right for us right now.
I feel very sad.
I feel like I let my emotions control the outcome of stuff.
But at the end of the day, I just feel like
I just want her to be happy, that's it.
I could've decided to just stay
and pretend like everything was okay
but I knew deep down that it wasn't.
I just chose to put myself first
and I'm content with that decision.
* Love is cruel *
[applauding]
Yes, Nadjha.
[clapping]
Jeff is not here with us tonight,
so Nadjha, you will have to spill the tea.
-Okay. -Take us through it.
Okay, so the night, you know,
um, we're sitting at the fire pit
and I can just feel his energy
and he's getting more and more upset.
And he starts on his rant
and you know some of the points he made were very valid,
like, I agreed with them, but I just think
the way he went about the things he said,
didn't come across well.
And Timmy walks by
and all I say is, "I'm sorry Timmy."
You know like, just to, like, say sorry to someone.
And feel like you can't even say you're sorry,
just, like, you're in a really, really tough spot
because I really, really, like, cared about him obviously.
And so I think, like,
that was kind of like my last straw with him
and, like, I didn't deserve to be spoken to like that.
I didn't deserve to be treated like that
especially when I did nothing bad to Jeff.
What do you think that you have learned about yourself
from this whole experience?
Um, I've definitely learned like self-love
and, like, knowing my self-worth.
You know like, you can really, really care about someone,
like, I still care about Jeff
but I do know that, like, I never want a guy
to speak to me like that.
I just never want to be in a situation like that.
Like, I know who the fuck I am,
just like he says he's Jeff, I'm Nadjha.
I don't want somebody to disrespect me,
-I want someone that... -Yes. Great.
...that treats me with respect.
[whistles]
Yay, Nadjha, I'm proud of you.
Thank you all. [laughs]
We are so happy
to have had you here on Love Island
and I really hope
that you find what you're looking for,
and what you deserve!
-Thank you. -Nadjha, everyone.
-[applauding] -Thank you.
Yes, Nadjha.
Thankfully, the finale turned
all that drama into a celebration.
It gave us epic dates, new boyfriends and girlfriends
and of course, crowned our winners.
And we are getting Queen Zeta and King Timmy
all to ourselves right after this.
[cheering]
***
[applauding]
Welcome back to "Love Island USA, The Reunion."
With 34 Islanders total, we had every type of romance.
Sweet romance, sad romance,
fast romance, romance on the rocks.
But one love story eclipsed them all, our winners.
Give it up for Zeta and Timmy!
[cheering & applauding]
* indistinct lyrics *
Wow, everybody really loves you.
Now, you might have fallen in love with each other
but we fell in love with you two.
And this is why.
[MOA's "Better With You" playing]
Timmy, you can choose any girl you want.
I'm gonna have to go with Zeta over here.
Come here.
* Things are pretty good, pretty close to perfect *
Baby Z, she's beautiful.
-I like you a lot. -Really?
Yes, I do.
I'm buzzing!
* And tell me I'm the most beautiful in the world *
* When I overreact *
-Nice to meet you. -I'm Bria.
I'm concerned about the fact that me getting to know Bria
may hurt my connection with Zeta.
I feel that I do owe it to myself to get to know Bria.
* Please don't give me up *
I met her on day one and we had put in time
and I feel a little bit of responsibility
for just her feelings.
I just want to continue forward with you.
-Yeah. -Oh, Timmy.
Baby Zeta in the two-seater, pull up.
This, and they call me Timmy Apple Seed, you heard.
I came in here, had a couple of seeds in my pocket.
Sprinkle a little-- the chef sprinkle them all around.
You take your time,
you let photosynthesis do what it does.
I'd like to stick with Timmy.
* Feel like the first time in my life I feel *
[cheering]
* It's worth to work it out, so *
* When you let me down *
* I won't give you up *
* We're worth the working out *
* I know I'm not perfect, but I'm better with you *
I can see you in my life outside the Villa.
Timmy!
So, I would like to be very exclusive with you.
[laughing]
[Bleeding Fingers' "Better Together" playing]
Ah, shit!
The blood has definitely compiled
in a different, you know, location,
it was a lot, it was a lot!
* I'm not giving up we're better together *
I'm so into you.
I'm going to go through things in life
and this boy is going to be there.
It's just a feeling
that you've looked for your whole life.
This is a toast to where we're headed,
we ride together,
-we die together. -Die together.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Oh, Timmy, stay a while, won't you?
Yeah, of course.
[clapping]
The winners of "Love Island USA"
-Zeta and Timmy! -[cheering]
* Don't you know we're just better together *
* I can do bad all by myself *
* Give it up, now *
[cheering]
-[screaming] -Yes! Yes!
[laughing]
I love you, Zeta!
Thank you. Thank you.
Wow, what an incredible, incredible journey.
There seems to be something very, very special here.
How do you both feel?
On top of the world,
just a very happy guy right now.
-Zeta? -Yeah, same.
I didn't think I'd meet someone like Timmy honestly,
I definitely wanted something like that
but he's just such a special person.
And I just feel so blessed, honestly.
-Yeah. -Yes, sir!
-Yes.
Outside the Villa. Let's talk, what's next?
Planning on going to London?
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
I got the invite from Miss Abby, so I'm valid.
Yeah.
I feel like that's hard to come by.
Yeah, you don't just get invites from Miss Abby.
And one last thing.
Is there anything you want to say to America
who voted you their
"Love Island USA, 2022" winners?
Yeah, I love America.
I love America very much.
I will be staying a while.
[laughing]
Well, thank you both
for coming into the Villa with open hearts.
We have loved being with you the whole way.
And we wish you all the very best for the future.
Everybody, one more time.
Zeta and Timmy!
[applauding]
[all cheering]
[screaming]
Zeta!
I can't believe I'm saying this
but that's all from "Love Island USA",
for now.
Congratulations to our winners and all of the Islanders!
And thank you for joining us
for this epic summer of love!
We can't wait to do it all over again.
Goodnight, lovers.
Bring on Summer 2023!
