Last night on "Love Island USA"...

♪ Watch out ♪

...the challenge fallout...

♪ You can't escape it ♪

I don't want to have a chat.

...Shattered friendships...

You are not a friend of mine.

I definitely felt a little hurt.

You wanted to be open to exploring.

I said okay, but you're comparing me sitting down

having a conversation with somebody

to you kissing every fucking person in the room.

Okay.

Just making me question his intentions.

What are you here for?

♪ Step into a new world ♪

...fired-up new flings...

I really do fuck with you, and I want to explore this.

♪ Step into a new world ♪

...and sent one couple...

♪ Bigger than we've ever dreamed ♪

...into a full-on love lockdown.

♪ Step into a new world ♪

This is where I want to, like,

formally ask you if you'd like to be closed off.

So we closed things off.

♪ Step into a new world ♪

♪ Step into a new world ♪

Tonight...

"Islanders. It's time to stand on business."

I got a lot of shit to fucking say.

...The islanders face the ultimate test...

Pepe, why are you wasting Gracyn's time?

When it comes to Jeremiah,

he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

What do you mean by this?

...Brutal honesty...

- It's like, what the fuck? - Fuck y'all.

If I stand for something, I'm gonna say it up front.

...And no place to hide.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Amaya.

♪ How'd you really feel about me? ♪

Welcome to "Love Island USA."

Nic and Cierra have become

the first closed couple in the Villa,

and Cierra can't wait to rip his clothes off.

Me too, sister!

Although, I got as far as his knees and just sort of gave up.

How are you?

I'm good, darling. How are you?

I'm so good. Ooh.

I'm coming off a high from today.

Ohh.

We got to, one, work out. Two, ride bikes.

Three, have a picnic. Four, it was on a hill.

Five, sun setting. Six, there was champagne.

- Seven, there was sandwiches. - Like,

there was just so many good things

- that happened all at once today. - Eight, we got to hang out.

Nine, we got to talk. Ten, we got to kiss.

Eleven... yeah. Just so many...

I feel like today all day

I've just been giving these, like, sighs of relief

because I just can't believe

how happy I am and how happy he makes me.

And every little moment with him just gets better and better.

I feel like I'm in just a little bubble of happiness.

Same.

Bryan has pulled private investigator Jaden for a chat.

Austin would love to know what's going on with them.

If only there was someone he could hire to find out...

- You're an investigator, right? - Yeah.

- Is that scary? - Yeah. Ooh!

You looked at me like you were scared.

Not really, because I tell it how it is.

- Yeah. - Like, I don't give a fuck

what, like, people feel just because it's like...

- What's the point of lying? - Right.

- Causes way more problems. - Yeah. For sure.

- Did you expect that? - I didn't expect Bryan, no.

But it's the name of the game.

What's your typical type, though?

I would say the most cliché thing ever --

Tall, dark, and handsome.

I'm tall, dark, and handsome with tattoos.

I'm-a be honest, though.

When you came in, you turned my head for sure.

- Really? - Yeah, 100%.

Ah!

I feel like I didn't really feel like I was open

because I've been so happy with Austin.

But that conversation with Bryan definitely did open my eyes.

I don't waste my time with shit I don't want,

and I make time for the shit I do want.

- Mm-hmm. - Know what I'm saying?

So that's why I kind of wanted to pull you today.

No, I'm happy that you did.

I feel like everybody's been scattered and everything, so...

I feel like it's really easy talking to you.

After their smash hit, "I'm a Mummy, Mamacita,"

Nic and Huda reunite for their difficult second album,

"Why Does Chelley Not Like Me?"

- What's up, twin? - Um, so I --

I just wanted to, like, kind of get your side of things.

Okay. All I've ever been told is it's just a challenge.

Nothing's personal. It wasn't like a,

"Oh, I want Ace. I'm trying to get with Ace."

I'm not trying to do that.

I do see your point of view.

I think, like, the line was crossed definitely at Ace.

That's my straight-up opinion.

Have you and Chelley talked about it?

No, we haven't talked about it.

I don't think she's ready, so I'm giving her her space.

And do I think I went overboard? Yes.

And I take full accountability for that.

And I won't do that again.

And all I can do is learn from it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just want to let you know, like, I really am here for you.

I just don't want to feel like you're alone in this if, like --

I adore you. I wasn't expecting you to pull me for a chat.

- So I adore you. Thank you. - Yeah.

I feel like Nic definitely has his head screwed on straight.

I feel like he gives such good advice

and he gives me a different perspective on things.

You know, I think the whole point of the conversation

was to kind of help me realize what I did wrong.

But the surprising part was that I already knew what I did wrong.

- Alright, darling. - Love you, Nic.

I love you, as well.

- Hurricane Huda! - Even though you fucking

tried to vote me out twice.

Yeah. Jinx.

It's time for bed, and Chelley has successfully

managed to avoid talking about her emotions all night.

Chelley, I'm a Scottish man in my 30s.

I've avoided talking about my emotions my entire life.

Hey, my bitch is on a high! Yes!

Andreina asked me, like, "So, are you, like,

open to exploring or how is this going?"

When somebody asks me a question

that it involves them potentially,

I respond truthfully.

So -- And she respected it.

This is the first time I get friend-zoned!

Alright. Well, fuck you, Pepito!

Fuck you!

Fucking weirdo. I think he's a weirdo.

I'm like...

Do you really think I'm being dramatic?

Honestly, if he's not making you happy,

like, you don't need to pretend.

- Sweetness. - It was so petty, bro,

but, like, I think it's just, like,

stemmed into, like, a big situation.

Yeah.

♪ I'm going to give in ♪

♪ Why not get lost? ♪

- You be snoring! - No, I don't!

- I'll be right here listening. - I snore, dead-ass?

Yes.

It's not, like, obnoxious or loud or nothing like that.

Like, it's just there.

I'm embarrassed!

- No? - Mnh-mnh.

I've never pitched a tent.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Love was in the air last night.

And on the sheets and the pillows.

And I think I saw some love on the kitchen counter.

Do you know what?

Let's just fumigate the whole place to be safe.

I feel good today, baby.

Right, Amaya, you want to speak to Zak.

So just keep it simple.

"Zak, can I pull you for a chat?"

That's all you have to say. Don't overthink it.

- Yeah. - Zak, sorry to interrupt.

Are you down to talk to me over there?

- Yeah. Sure, sure. - Pull you for a chat-chat.

And then go-go.

Thank you for breakfast this morning.

It's all good.

I put you an extra waffle in there.

Yes, you did.

Zak and Amaya have been, like, a little bit hot and cold.

- They've been rocky. - Yesterday,

she just didn't see much of him.

Like, he was just hanging out with the guys all day.

- Mm-hmm. - He doesn't pull her

- for a conversation. - Yeah.

Which isn't a good feeling, I'm sure.

I totally get it that you, like,

wanted your space yesterday.

The whole day just went on

and, like, we didn't get the chance to really, really speak.

You did just prioritize being with the guys and stuff

like that, which is fine.

I didn't speak to anybody yesterday.

I'm on about -- Like, do you see where I'm coming from?

Or you don't get where I'm coming from?

- No. I get what -- - Do you think it's jealousy?

'Cause it's not about me being jealous whatsoever.

No, no, I don't think it's jealousy.

I just feel like, you know, I feel like --

- I'm trying to monitor you? - No, no, no.

Like, I'm not trying to change who you are

or anything like that.

It's just that I feel like sometimes,

even though I'm coupled up with you,

I'm still single as fuck in here.

Why didn't you speak to me yesterday?

You've got legs. I've got legs too.

If you want to come speak to me, come speak to me.

Yeah, but I also don't want to be the one

always having to approach you.

I don't know, I just feel like

I want to be strengthening our connection in a way.

I didn't really want to, like, get emotional

while I bring my boys down or, like,

open up to you a little bit.

I mean, I slowly started to open up to you,

but then it was certain actions or certain things you said.

It's constant. I was moving too quick

'cause I'm like, "Oh, I ain't ready for this shit."

Amaya is an awesome girl

and I'm really trying my best to understand her as a person.

But the last couple of days

it's just been a little bit of miscommunication.

But I feel like my head's just still in like two places.

Me and Olandria, we never really finished

what we left off at Casa Amor.

So yeah, I'm in a bit of a sticky situation.

I just want to make sure that the seed

that we planted of our connection

is still being watered,

because I feel like if it's not being watered,

then eventually the flowers will dry out.

- You know? - I get it.

Okay.

Don't, don't. I don't want you to be like that.

Listen, you'll be fine. Don't cry.

Moving forward, I feel like, like I said,

I will try and make a bit more of an effort to,

like, speak to you and, like, do things with you

and, like, prioritize you in certain things.

We can chill together, kick it, whatever.

- Aw, Amaya's crying. - She's crying?

- Really? - I think so.

I'm sorry.

I think it'll work out. Like, whatever.

I think it will too.

How do you feel about Chris and Huda?

Are they, like, exploring each other?

I think Chris is more keen on Huda now.

Huda and Chelley haven't really talked.

- Right? - I talked to Huda last night.

She actually took accountability,

- like, off the rip. - Wow.

She's like -- She thought that she crossed the line,

what she did to Ace.

I just think they both just need a proper convo.

- Yeah. - I'm so happy.

Like, we're in a good place

and I feel like definitely you guys are in a good place

and we get to, like, share that together

and just kind of watch it all

go down instead of, like, being in it.

Alright, bro, how you feeling this morning?

I feel good, man.

- How about you? - I'm feeling good, bro.

I had some good cuddles last night.

- Yeah. - Me and Huda had a good conversation

in the Speakeasy last night, bro, shared a little kiss,

- a little smoochy smooch. - Ooh!

It was just overall just a cute night.

Obviously I still like Chelley,

but I am going to take a step back just

because I just don't feel

like the energy is being reciprocated any type of way.

I actually like what you and Huda got going on.

I do too, bro.

Hey, guys, I have a secret to tell you.

You got a secret to tell me?

I have a secret to tell you guys.

You know how me and Chris went in the Speakeasy yesterday?

- We actually kissed. - How was it?

- It was good. - Mmm!

So where's his mind at?

He just said, like, after talking to me, he said,

like, it changed his feelings.

He really enjoys talking to me, but he's really sweet.

Like, he doesn't get defensive when I bring things up.

And I really like it. It's just very different.

- Very different for me. - Yeah.

I like him too.

Fuck. Do I like somebody?

Like, that's kind of what's going through my brain.

I'm like, "Oh, shit."

The thing is, like, I'm trying to be vulnerable,

but at the same time, I'm not trying to get hurt.

So, like, I'm trying to have a happy balance between the both,

you know.

But how you feeling, though, bro,

with everything you got going on?

Yeah, bro.

For sure, I want to pull Jaden again.

- Absolutely. Absolutely. - Like 110%.

I definitely want to pull her again.

It was that type of chat.

Yeah.

One person that's definitely,

uh, turned my head, I could say was Jaden.

I had all my eggs in one basket, with Andreina,

but I feel like conversations just really stopped,

like, developing, and I talked to Jaden,

and that's definitely a basket I want to pull to my side

and put some eggs in there.

Because I asked her. I was like, "What's your usual type?"

And she was like, "Tall, dark, and handsome."

- That's you. - I was like --

- I was like, "Word." - That's you.

Like, yeah. Perfect.

Well, obviously I want to get to know her,

but I'm gonna make it known, like, I'm interested.

Yeah.

My chat with Bryan went really well.

I think all my conversations have been great,

but for, like, a first one, that was --

That was probably like the best one.

Austin was like -- I think he was, like, actually upset.

Do you think that our couples are making it difficult

for other people to, like, get to know us maybe?

- Definitely me. - Yeah. You're on lock.

You're on lock.

Which is crazy because he's exploring still.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised with the amount of,

like, affection that he's willing to show you.

- Me too. - And still.

I guess that's -- I'm -- 'cause --

You get me, bitch.

Keep going. Keep fucking talking.

Me and Taylor, we have a very real connection.

And I feel like there's a lot of, you know,

smooches here and there.

Like, we show that we like each other in all ways.

It makes me happy.

But I don't know if that makes some people happy.

- I'm not used to this. - Triangle situation.

I'm not used to this, baby girl.

Olandria's been getting to know Zak, who's a model.

I used to be a still-life model back in my hometown,

but I quit when I had to move.

So how did you finish your chat with Zak?

Like, are you going to keep going for more chats?

Yeah, like, don't get me wrong,

the things that he does do around here is, like...

- Make you feel a type of way. - ...Questionable.

Things like help me up and down the stairs,

like doing, like, little small things.

- Like, he was just... - Gentlemanly.

...So out of reach. Exactly.

Especially in comparison to someone like Taylor,

- who is overly gentleman. - Yes. Overly.

And that's why I love country men.

I feel like they just always just know what to do

- when it comes to women. - Yeah.

But it's just like, at the end of the day,

I know, like, he's a great guy and so mature.

He knows what he wants.

What about your other option?

I get that things are weird between Taylor.

His mind ain't made up just yet.

And it's just, like, as much as I just want to write him off

and say fuck the connections,

like, regardless of how many other connections I built,

that is still by far my strongest one.

- How you doing? - Doing great, man.

We're actually in a good spot, bro.

It's just like, every day go by, I start liking her more.

Her vibe is just hella cool.

I'm really starting to, like, get in my -- my sophomore era,

and she brought it out of me.

I don't know, bro.

And so like now I'm thinking in my head like,

how do I navigate this Olandria situation?

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Gracyn has asked Iris to lend her an ear

so she can chat about Pepe.

Earlier, I asked Gracyn to lend me an ear

because I needed somewhere to store my favorite flower.

- How's you and Pepito? - Pepito.

- Pepito. - I like him.

- Like, I'm attracted to -- - He likes you.

- Really? - He wouldn't make breakfast.

He wouldn't, like, do shit like that

if he really didn't like you.

- You know what I'm saying? - For some reason, like,

I feel like I feel just a little, like...

- Pull back? - Yeah.

- Mm. - Um...

I haven't been feeling that spark with Gracyn.

Mm-hmm.

I've been trying to figure out, like,

how to tell because I don't --

It's not a her thing. It's definitely not a her thing.

She's an amazing girl.

It's just -- It's a me thing.

I haven't felt that.

I feel like it's kind of a weird circumstance,

like us being together just 'cause of what happened.

And, like, I feel like,

you know, he didn't, like, choose to send, like,

his past connection home, but at the same time, I'm like...

I see what you're saying.

If there is a spark there, then I don't know.

It's hard, but I'm doing my best.

I think the last three days it's definitely been...

Hannah's been on the back of my mind.

Um, I feel like I'm dragging her along

because I definitely don't want to string her along,

- and I definitely don't want to ruin her experience. - Yeah.

Um, Gracyn's an amazing girl, you know,

and I want to express to her everything of how I'm feeling.

And I told myself that I was going to be in here

and be truthful and honest

and try my best to open up and to build a connection.

And it's just -- it's not there.

And, you know, but if I'm not feeling that spark,

I feel like it's not fair for her.

You just have to be straight up with how you feel.

Don't hold back and it'll all work out.

Yeah.

You think getting closed off here is like getting married?

- I know. - The way everyone comes up...

- Keeps talking about it. - ...And is like, "Congratulations."

Like, are you gonna get me a toaster or some shit now?

Do you want to see our registry?

Yeah. What the hell?

I got a text!

- Awwwwww shit. - I'm scared.

- Austin, was that you? - What is this gonna say?

I need to know positive or negative right fucking now.

Oh, shit.

Hell yeah. That's that shit.

Standing on business, guys.

I got a text!

Oh, my God.

Oh, I'm signing everything I write.

I'm thinking finally.

I've been ready for this since day one

where people actually say how they feel.

They ain't hiding behind no telephone game.

And ain't no running from it.

So time to stand on some business.

- Are you signing it, TJ? - I'm signing it.

If it ain't direct, I don't want it.

- Bro, what? - I'm gonna get so much shit.

You got some shit to say about me,

fucking say that shit. Say it with your chest.

Stop hiding it.

I would much rather hear it right off the rip

rather than hear about it later.

So... bring it on.

I got a lot of shit to motherfucking say.

You got to address some of it.

Maybe not all of it, but at least like some of it.

Dear Ace Greene, I think you should go ahead

and have that conversation with Chelley.

Dear Chelley, you need to stop exploring things with Chris

- and just close off with Ace. - Right there.

I'm just thinking about what people about to say about me.

No. Me too. I'm gonna cry.

I got a -- I got a good idea of what I would get

I hate drama, I hate being messy.

But I feel like this night I'm going to be forced

Lord, this is going to be interesting.

Like, are we trying to be messy

or are we just airing out what's on our chest?

Because if we're airing out what's on our chest, like,

it's not going anywhere with Gracyn.

Damn, dude.

That'd be kind of -- That'd be harsh.

Everybody here has an ego, bro, to some sort.

- Yeah. - Yeah, 100%, bro.

This is going to be a shouting-match day.

Yeah.

It's gonna be messy as shit.

Honestly, I don't know how tonight's gonna go down.

There's a hurricane brewing.

I'll tell you that, though.

Let me just write that to Huda.

It's not personal, ladies.

I've -- I've had great conversation

You definitely show effort.

There we go.

Okay. Okay. I wrote that.

- Ohh! - Ooh!

I just wanted to see, you know,

what you guys were gonna say.

The triangle with Ace, you, and Chelley.

It was like Ace was doing so much to, like,

show Chelley that he wanted her.

You weren't really, like, kind of, like,

putting the fight to actually win Chelley.

I respect that you came forward.

Of course.

Oh, Andreina. I'm coming for you.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Next up, it's Cierra.

"To Chelley, Olandria, and Cierra. From Pepe.

I don't understand why you girls chose to send Hannah home.

She is one of the only girls who truly explored

an unsafe connection with another person.

"The logic does not make sense."

So, it was Hannah, Iris, and Amaya.

♪ Say you're sorry for the things you've done ♪

I felt that Iris had something budding with TJ.

Um, Amaya hadn't really had the chance

to have a romantic connection with anyone at the time.

Like, I thought they had both been dealt an unfair hand.

Whereas someone like Hannah at that time

had had the chance to explore two really strong connections

and be lucky for it.

Um, not only that, but I feel like

you're someone who came in and was really adamant

about wanting to explore

all of your connections in the Villa,

and I feel like once you and Hannah had gotten paired up,

it was very tunnel vision.

And, I mean, I think if you look at where you are now,

like, sitting next to Gracyn, having gone through Casa,

like, clearly it's possible

for you to have found another connection.

And maybe if Hannah was here distracting you from that,

then you wouldn't have felt the same.

- So... - I respect that.

Do you ladies...

- Literally. What she said. - I agree.

I mean, it was tough, but it was a thing of, like,

who's here to really explore and not lock in

off of the first, like, connection

that you feel is so strong.

I know you're not, but if you were in my shoes

and you had to make a decision as hard as that one,

who do you think would have been the right answer?

I'd have to sit down and talk to the boys

like you three talked to the girls.

But, see, that's unfair. I refuse to believe

that you haven't thought about it up until this point.

I feel like in that moment when we were deciding,

we didn't want to make that mistake of going off of

a "strong connection" because it didn't turn out

to be the strongest connection we thought it was.

And none of us are happy that she went home.

♪ I can't look back ♪

I think final word's, like, we miss Hannah every day.

Hopefully that gives you clarity on why we voted the way we did.

Okay. Much love.

I like how respectful we all argue, by the way.

I honestly think that's a load of crap.

Alright.

"Pepe, ever since Hannah left,

have you been playing it safe until you leave the Villa?

We know you don't like Gracyn as much

as you liked Hannah," from question.

- Who wrote it? - Who wrote that?

Who wrote that?

The first couple of days of Casa,

I was trying my best to open up and explore Gracyn.

But yeah, when you get something snatched

from under your feet like that

that you felt great about, it doesn't feel good.

Yeah, it's for sure frustrating for me.

Of course. And that -- I --

There's nothing I can do about that.

What are you saying or doing that's making it still relevant?

You know, like, it's continuing to be brought up.

It's "Love Island."

Like, people recouple all the time.

You know that I'm here because...

You're looking for love.

- Genuinely. - Yeah.

Like, I really want to make a connection.

And, like, I see that that's possible with you.

But if all of this is still relevant

and you still feel this way about her,

you need to start thinking about giving me the opportunity

to really try to dive in and, like, get to know other people.

Trying to move as respectfully as possible.

I've said what I had to said.

I've repeated what I have to repeat.

I don't really care to talk about it too much more.

So thank you, guys.

It's alright.

For who? It's alright for who?

I mean, you know...

Yeah, but it's like -- It's, like, about your past.

- Amaya. - It was me who wrote that.

She said she wanted to test a new connection.

Perfectly fine.

I've never been the controlling type.

I'm not gonna tell her to close off with somebody

And that's okay.

Yeah. Perfect answer.

To Ace from Austin,

"People have sucked up to what you say.

The Ace posse doesn't go against you.

When it comes to Jeremiah,

he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't."

Austin, before I respond to this, what do you mean by this?

♪ Had my eyes peeled open ♪

Just, like, that more pertained

to the whole Jeremiah and Huda situation.

I just felt bad for him because you guys gave him

a lot of shit in the beginning.

You know, you're a strong leader, so, like, what you say,

it's not really gone against.

It just felt like he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

Okay, cool. Andreina, do you feel like

Jeremiah was coming on to you pretty strong?

- Yeah. - Okay.

So there goes my point again of the whole love bombing thing

where I've seen that since day one.

Just because I have the balls to say that shit doesn't mean,

oh, Ace is a hater.

"One of us out of the two is six'5"

and one of us is five'10" and has the balls

to say some shit around here because I have some heart.

You don't.

When it comes to Amaya saying about how you feel about her

and you telling us a story,

she gets a whole different side of Austin.

I mean, that's 'cause I wasn't really decided.

- You know, I speak to you guys. - Right. But it's pretty clear.

It's pretty clear how you tell us how you feel about some shit.

So when it's like -- I feel so like this is Pepé Le Pew

and she's giving me all this affection,

- and she don't understand that. - I don't understand it.

Because you don't say that.

So again, I'm going to speak my mind because I'm a leader.

And if I stand for something, I'm going to say it up front.

I don't give a fuck who likes it or not.

You mad that people agree with how I feel,

that's not on me. That's a you problem.

- Yeah, but I feel like -- - But listen, I'm not done.

- I'm not done. - There's no back--

You're going to let me speak and I'm going to say how I feel.

When it comes to standing up about how you feel,

you shy away from that shit.

I don't.

Every time you relate a feeling about how it is of mine,

it was not a great feeling ever since.

- Ever since my situation. - But I relayed to you

the whole time though that there was a side to her

that I very much loved.

It was always more negative than positive shit.

- Do you understand that? - That's why I said I didn't want

to -- I didn't want to come off like I was.

It doesn't matter. You're still here.

Hang on. Amaya, this is not -- This is not your conversation.

- This is between us. - I know it's not my conversation

but we have all the right to put our inputs in it.

It's like you just keep on focusing on the guys

who got sent home.

And why does that matter?

This was a chance to air stuff out, Amaya.

- Alright. - Do you not understand what

- a chance to air stuff out is? - No, I understand what that is.

You don't need to interpret that for me.

I understand that, but what I'm saying is that --

- It doesn't seem like you do. - No, I understand that.

Don't be disrespectful to me like that.

Because right now, there's a lot of colors

that I did not see that you had before that are showing tonight.

- That's okay. - And you know what?

I'm glad that we have this challenge

because all of this shit that's being said,

you never want to send it to my face.

And you were very much confused whenever I came up to you.

- So continue. - I was confused because

this reaction, I didn't want to deal with.

What reaction? What the fuck are you talking about?

You're the one with the -- With the neck veins

popping out of your neck right now.

- Okay. - Bro, I'm so done with it.

Look at that stack, girl.

Um, "Chelley",

I don't understand why you want boundaries set

during challenges for us both

but want to continue exploring things with other people.

"Ace."

Why does there need to be boundaries if I'm exploring?

We talked about, if anything, you initiated the, you know,

"I'm still open to exploring," so I've done just that.

It's not a problem that you're exploring,

but it's the fact that you're trying to put

a boundary on me while exploring.

I don't get that.

This whole thing about the boundaries,

it was just to make you feel comfortable

and make me feel comfortable.

But did we not say we're open?

Did you not tell me that you want to be open?

So it's like, now when I'm doing that, it's a problem.

Am I -- Am I not missing? Can someone explain that to me?

To where like if I'm -- I feel like I'm not reaching her.

I would like to know, am I tripping?

Like, I don't understand. I'm confused.

The way that I see it is, like, during that challenge,

you guys didn't set boundaries.

When she comes to you and says, "In our connection",

focusing on this right now,

"like, I want to put a boundary there," to me that says,

like, she believes so much in it, she wants to build upon it.

So let's move forward.

And every challenge in here,

there's going to be makeout sessions,

there's going to be things.

But in that one specifically,

you really got to decide who and what you wanted to do things on.

I completely get that.

But when it comes to boundaries being set,

what do I look like dialing my shit back when she's exploring?

"To Chelley and Chris,

why haven't you had a conversation

since Casa seems like avoiding?"

I wrote that one.

Certain intentions and things were said

that haven't been followed through.

I'm curious to know what intentions were said

that weren't being followed through.

It's just been a thing of, like, avoiding.

Like, there's no eye contact.

There is no conversation, no nothing like that.

So when I don't see anything so grand and significant

from what I already have going on, It almost feels like, okay,

I don't want to waste my time and ruin what I have

based off of just a whole bunch of words.

That's just what it was.

I ain't got nothing else.

♪ Will the flames cut like... ♪

"To Chelley, do you remember saying it's just a challenge?

You and Ace are still open."

Whoever wrote it, I would love to know

so I could understand what you're referring to.

I wrote it. I just wanted to bring up.

So, back when me and Jeremiah were together,

I felt like you were like the number-one

person always telling me, "Huda, relax.

It's just a challenge. Relax. It's just a challenge."

When that was happening, the only time I recall

me telling you it's a challenge is when

it was bombshells coming in

and you wanted to tweak on bombshells who don't know you,

who don't know Jeremiah, who don't know y'all connection,

and you wanted to be so furious at them for no reason.

I thought in general it's just a challenge.

I was not respected and I feel like too many times

I give you a lot of grace for stuff.

So I'm trying to hear you out right now,

but I really don't, and it's just like, right now

it's starting to aggravate me.

I did that in that moment.

It upset you. That won't happen again.

I will say, okay, I fucked up and I shouldn't have done that.

I hate that I upset you. I really do.

And all I can say is I'm sorry.

At the end of the day, a fucking challenge,

it's -- it doesn't compare to my friendship with you.

All I can ask is for forgiveness.

But if you don't want to give me forgiveness,

that's fine.

Um...

Alright, I'm done with my questions.

"To Huda."

I feel like Hannah was robbed

of her 'Love Island' experience twice

while you should have been dumped

from the island.

"From Nicolas."

Thank you for your candor.

Yeah, I mean, it's -- It's not really a surprise.

And, like, I did vote you to leave twice.

Yeah, I just feel like with that great relationship

between Hannah and Charlie,

it was just sad to see something like that disappear

when I felt like you had gotten a lot of those --

A lot more opportunities

when someone already had something great,

and I feel like that was just torn apart.

I feel like I've grown a lot in here.

Yes, I've continued to make mistakes,

but I feel like that's life.

And then Casa Amor happened,

and I think that I truly did that to the fullest.

So that is my answer.

I respect what she did. Like, she explored everybody.

- She did. - She talked to everybody.

Yeah, yeah.

"To Huda. From anonymous.

Do you think you've been following girl code

when it comes to Chris and Chelley's relationship?

Are you a girl's girl?"

This is "Love Island," and we are exploring multiple connections.

"To want loyalty and respect from your friends

of your friends, but they're actually selfish,

"and I wish you'd stand on it."

Is this about the Chris situation?

This is about a lot of -- A lot of things.

Everything that we talked about already,

it's about all of that stuff.

The girl-code stuff.

You did not stand on that when it came to me.

What was the second thing that I said to you?

"To want loyalty and respect from your friends but not give it is crazy."

That goes back to the "Jeremiah and you" shit.

You wanted loyalty and respect.

You were so gracious for that, that we gave that to you.

But you didn't extend that when you had the chance to do that.

And then the last thing, with the whole Chris thing,

I know was the thing of, like, oh, it's a win-win situation.

It didn't sit right with me from the moment it came out of your mouth.

Because I was interested in Chris.

- What? - The whole --

Me bringing Chris back was not only for you.

But you kept saying, "But I'm doing it for you

because I know what you really want."

No, you don't know what I really want. You know what you want,

but you want to make it feel like it's for me, and it's not for me.

If it's for you, you could stand on that.

I would have much more respected that

if you would have came to me and been like, "Chelley..."

And been honest about it.

...Like, "Take him for me and to explore that connection."

Because -- And I've expressed to you how many times --

Please continue to pursue Chelley.

Please continue to pursue Chelley.

- She has. She has. - I have not lied about that.

I literally keep encouraging him to pursue you.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

The whole thing was not for just me.

Yes, it was also for you.

You can shake your head, but that's -- that's fine.

But this is how I felt. Only I know how I feel.
