But don't get too comfy.
I am coming back.

**

Tonight,
the ultimate bombshell returns.

♪ Step aside,
I run the show ♪

It's Maura Higgins,

and she's brought some
all-star friends with her.

Ariana Madix.

Two-time winner
Justine Ndiba couples up

with Cely and Callum
on the panel.

Singer and actress
Chloe Bailey.

Dumped islanders

and Ace and Chelley.

"Beyond the Villa" Liv Walker.

Plus, our finalists reveal
all in the Beach Huts.

"Damn, mamacita."

Maura,
have you got anything to add?

On the eve of the finale,
there's only one place to be.

Welcome to
"Love Island USA: Aftersun."

Bula!
It's so great to be back!

A huge thank-you to Sophie Monk
and Eyal Booker for filling in.

They absolutely smashed it.

Now, I can't tell you
where I've been.

It's top secret.

I've been doing "Traitors."

It's kind of out there already.

So now that that's out
of the way,

I need to introduce three people
I know are faithful to the end.

She's given maximum laughter,
no filter.

It's Cely Vazquez!
- Whoo!

Whoo-whoo-whoo!
Heartie.

- I missed you.
- I missed you.

He's given... hole?
It's Callum Hole.

And she's given two-time
"Love Island" winner

and Cely's BFF.

It's Justine Ndiba!

Justine!
You look absolutely phenomenal.

- Thank you. You look stunning.
- I missed you all.

I've not seen you in forever.
- I know.

It felt like I was missing out.

No, we--
Sophie kept it warm for you.

- Yeah.
- But I'm so happy you're here.

What a bang to end on.
- She smashed it.

Obviously, I've been watching
every single minute of it.

What a season, guys.

It's obviously bigger
than last year,

which is insane.
- Yeah.

- What a great cast.
- Yeah. It's wild.

Justine, I have to ask, what's
it like being back in Fiji?

Oh, it's amazing.
I've missed it.

It feels like home
at this point.

Is it bringing back lots
of memories?

Yeah, some.
Some good, some bad.

- Some good, some bad? Oh, God.
- Yeah.

I'm so sorry, girl.

You two were friendship goals
in Season 2 and "Games."

- Thank you!
- What's it like being reunited?

Well, you probably see
each other all the time, right?

But this is cool, because,
like, having you on "Aftersun,"

I literally was telling her--
I was like,

I needed her to come out here.

I was like, "Please, I need you.
I need a bit of home."

Especially with
how crazy this season has been.

I'm like, "Remind me
what friendship is, please."

- Aww!
- Girl, I got you.

So I wasn't enough?
Nice to know that.

Thanks, Cely.
- I love you.

You know I love you.

Thanks for filling in.

And, Justine, you won
"Love Island Games" with Jack.

I have to ask,
what happened after the show?

Well, so, we're not together.

Yeah, I kind of figured that.

After the show,
I feel like we

tried our best, but--
I don't know.

I don't know if it's just me,

but, like, there's always other
people still in the picture,

so I don't really know--

- What?
- It's not you.

It's not you.
- Girl...

- It's not you.
- It's not you, Queen.

It's always him, unfortunately.
- It's always him.

No, we did our best, I guess,
but-- I don't know--

Yeah, 'cause you guys
were cute.

Yeah, I feel
like that's a question

you'd have to ask Jack,
'cause--

Can we get Jack on the line?
Oh, wait. He's actually here.

No. Imagine?

I was like...

She said, "Oh, hell no."

So, your fellow
islanders voted

for you to win the
$100,000 cash prize

and left you
with a big decision to make.

Let's have a quick reminder.

So, Justine, it's now time

to find out
whether you were here for love

or whether it was all
just a game.

**

I've been in a situation
before

where I've trusted
my connection with somebody

and got done dirty
a little bit in the end.

Um...

and I'm kind of struggling
with that.

I just feel like the connection
I felt with Jack

this time was a lot more real
than the last time.

He had a rough time in here,
and I feel like we both

really deserve it,
so I'm going to split it.

**

That's heavy.

Justine, if you were to
turn back time now,

would you have just taken
the money?

- Probably, yeah.
- Abso-fucking-lutely.

Cut me that check.
Mama needs that.

To be fair, both times, you're
kind of like the single winner,

because it's like
you get these men there.

Like...

- Yeah.
- As my plus-one?

Yeah. Your two plus-ones.

Yeah, you should have just took
the money and ran.

- Yeah.
- To be honest.

I want to ask you all,
actually--

"Games" Season 2
is coming very soon.

Would any of you do it again?

- Absolutely not.
- No! Cely, why?

Absolutely not.

Did you see
how I got eliminated?

They literally chewed me up.
I was like, "I'm okay."

Callum, what about you?

I was saying, like,
thinking no at first,

but then, soon
as I came back to Fiji,

it was like
that nostalgia feeling.

- You would?
- Who knows?

Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, I don't know.

Okay. Producers,
I hope you're listening.

- It's a "yes" for Callum.
- Callum wants to do it.

Keep me in Fiji.

Now, guys,
we've got so much to talk about.

Now we have our
final four couples.

Before we take
a deep dive into our finalists,

let's see the highlights
of their last week in the Villa.

♪ We walk through the fire ♪

We've been
on quite the journey.

I wouldn't want to spend
this experience

with anybody else but her.

Thank you again
for believing in me.

I couldn't imagine me picking
someone else other than you.

♪ We walk through the fire *6

You recognize the queen

that I am without ever trying
to dim my light.

Spent every day with her.
It's been a good feeling.

I feel like I can be myself.

This boy was a risk
worth taking.

I'm giddy right now.
I ain't gonna lie to you.

♪ Say "yes"
to the moment ♪

♪ To the feeling ♪

I'm finally coupled
up with someone

that doesn't get scared

when my pinkie toe touches
his pinkie toe.

When I first walked in,
I did not think

I was going to
get this close to anybody.

♪ Say "yes" ♪

Clarke,
will you be exclusive with me?

Yes, of course.

♪ Say "yes" ♪

Another day in paradise.

What the fuck?

I don't know what the fuck
I was hearing,

so I covered my head.

Why are you cursing
around the baby?

- Oh, my gosh.
- No, no, no, no, no.

Nope, nope. She's a baby.
She cannot hold her head up.

I started getting, like,
this really fiery feeling

in my chest, like, flutters
in all parts of my body.

I didn't realize
seeing Nic in dad mode

made him look even better.

"Islanders,
the Hideaway is now open."

Are you ready for the Hideaway?

Yeah, we need to go.
Come on.

♪ You play the villain,
the devil on my shoulder ♪

Will you be exclusive,
Chelley Evelyn Bissainthe?

Of course.

**

It's family day!

♪ So I'm coming home ♪

♪ Home ♪

I feel like
those military videos on TikTok.

You're fucking lying?!

Thank you for coming.

So lucky.

America has been voting.

♪ Time just won't stand still ♪

We made it to the final four.

Final four!

Thank you, America!

Let's go!

The final is something
that we never really expected.

Finale!

Wow.

Why does it make
me emotional?

Girl, I cried
the whole last episode.

I don't want it to end.

- I know.
- It's so good.

We literally had a box
of tissues there, didn't we?

I was like, "Why do I feel like
I'm watching an actual movie?"

I couldn't stop crying.
It was so good.

It's been a huge week, obviously.

We now have
our 2025 finalists!

What the hell?!
- That is crazy. That is crazy.

- I can't even believe it.
- No, that is crazy.

That is actually crazy.
- Like, how did we get here?

Tell me, is there anyone else

you really expected
to be in the final?

- Yeah. Chelley and Ace 100%.
- Right?

I felt like because they
were in there from the start,

their connection,
like, really grew.

I for sure thought they
would at least be final four.

I did, too. I was quite like,
"Oh, my God, why?"

- I was shocked.
- So shocked.

I think Ace and Chelley
and Taylor and Clarke

deserved to be in the top four.

Yeah. I feel like Taylor and
Clarke had the strongest,

like, romantic connection
in there out of everyone.

- Yeah.
- You know?

But I guess the public vote
who they want to keep in,

and it is what it is.

True.
America, man.

Even though it's, like,
late in the game,

it's still nice to see all these
new connections develop,

you know?

Because I feel like sometimes,
it is a bit of fate in there,

like, especially
with Nic and Olandria.

Like, a lot of people can see

that there's, like,
an underlying spark there,

and they just didn't
explore it early on.

- They look so good together.
- They do.

Yeah.
- I love them together.

I feel like he brings
out such a playful side in her,

and she brings out, like--
Like, she demands more of him.

You know what I mean?

Like, I feel like he's
a man around her, and I love it.

- I agree.
- Yeah.

I loved them when they
went into the photo booth,

and he was like...
- Me too!

- Yes!
- I was like, "Yes!"

Yes.

And I feel like
everything happens for a reason.

Like, they both
got dumped at the same time,

they both came back together,

they tried things out,
didn't work,

and now they've ended up
together again, you know?

Yeah, the universe is like,
"You can make it work!"

Yeah. You keep putting
them together.

"You're meant to be together!

We're giving you
one more chance!"

They're the only ones
who don't see it,

but we said,
"We'll help you out."

Yeah.
They met the families now,

and both moms seem
to really approve.

I love that Nic's mom,

like, wanted them together
from the beginning.

From the beginning.

I know.
She said it straightaway.

- Family approval is everything.
- It's everything.

Let's move on to
Huda and Chris.

They're in the final.

Are we happy to see them
in the final?

I'm happy to see them
in the final

because I feel like I'm happy to
see that she's open to growth.

She's for sure not
the same Huda from the start,

and I feel like it's

because what she's receiving,
she's open to.

And I do feel
like they are a good match.

If they can make it work,

I think they could go the
distance, because he's so calm,

cool, and collected and he's,
like, trying to understand her.

She's a little bit more fiery.
But together, I feel

like they can balance
each other out each other.

Balance each other.
That's what I thought.

- Yeah.
- Okay, let's move on to

Iris and Pepe next.

These two came in
as bombshells together,

ended up as a couple.

Did anyone see
these two coming at all?

- No.
- No?

I feel like, for sure,
they were not on my bingo card.

I see them and I'm like,
"Oh, they seem like

they really like each other,
they have a lot of chemistry."

I feel like they
do connect well,

but they just didn't see each
other on each other's radars

when they first came in,

because they came in
as bombshells together.

And I feel like,
when you do that,

you just ignore the person--
- It's, like, off limits.

Yeah, it's off limits
for some reason,

and you just explore
other people.

But do we like them
as a couple?

- Yeah, I like them.
- They're cute.

- Yeah, they're cute together.
- They have chemis--

They have really good chemistry.

Pepe's mom said
she saw a spark from their

very first conversation.

How insane is that?
Do moms always know best?

- Yes.
- They do.

That'll do it for me, too.

If my mom was saying that,
I'd be like, "Done.

We're getting married."
Like, yeah.

- "He's the one."
- Yep.

Finally, last but not least,
Amaya and Bryan.

What do we make of this couple?

- I adore them.
- They melt my heart.

And their parents--
they all got along so well.

Like, it was so beautiful.

I couldn't stop crying
during that.

Like, just seeing
the pure joy from all of that.

- Yeah,
- I'm just so happy for Amaya,

because she's gone through the
most extreme journey in there

compared to anyone,
like, ups and downs,

like, every couple of days.

And she's, like, glowing now,
you know?

Aww.
She's just smiling 24/7.

Oh, it's the best.

The night in the Hideaway
was very steamy.

Yeah!

Do you reckon we'll get a real
baby Elijah very soon?

- I hope so.
- A mini papaya.

Aww!

- A mini papaya!
- That's so cute.

Aww!

Imagine the zoomies
that baby's gonna have.

For real.

Well, great chat, guys.
Thank you so much.

Now, "Love Island"
has an impressive list of

celebrity superfans,
including our next guest.

She's a Grammy-nominated,
platinum-selling artist,

but now she's hit the big-time
by coming on "Aftersun."

It's Chloe Bailey.

Hi, Chloe.
You look so gorgeous.

Thank you, my love.
So do you guys.

Welcome to "Aftersun."

I don't know
how to act right now.

Can I just say, Justine
is fangirling big-time over you.

I'm geeking hard, girl.

Not you right there.

I wish you could
feel my love.

Oh! I will cry right now.

Chloe, you're a huge
"Love Island" fan.

How long have
you been watching for?

So, I've been watching
for a while.

I actually started with
your season.

- What?! Shut up!
- With you, Molly-Mae.

Yes, yes.

So, I started with the UK
version with my sis and I.

Oh, my god.

So, then I saw you
lovely ladies,

and it's just been up
ever since.

Wild.

Yeah, I'm happy to see
everyone's falling in love

with "Love Island."

Like, I've been loving it
for years.

Oh, my God.

So, Chloe, tell me, what are you

making of this season so far?

I feel like you
don't know what to expect,

but I feel like I have
really good intuition,

because I have been wanting

Olandria and Nic
together since day one.

Like, every time
with the challenges,

they would just look
so cute together.

The kisses would be
extra passionate.

And I was like,
"Nah, something's there."

He would pick her up,
and you'd see her nice,

plump, juicy booty,
and he's, like,

looking like he's handling it.

I was like, "Something is here."

Yes.
Like, absolute ass goals.

I am drooling over that ass
every single day.

- Did you see her mom, too?
- Her mom is--

That's what she-- You could
tell she got it from her mom.

- Yes.
- Unbelievable.

When her mom walked in,
I was like, "This checks out."

Baddies all the way around.

Oh, my God. Who are you
loving at the moment?

My girl Amaya.

I relate to her so much,
and I'm so happy

people have gone on this journey
with her throughout the season

and really just saw that
she's such a sweetheart.

I am absolutely obsessed
with her.

And he was the guy
who stood up for her.

Yep.

We love a man who
supports his queen.

- Yes.
- We do.

Have you got a favorite moment
of the season?

My favorite moment is

when Amaya was singing
her affirmations in the mirror.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

It's just so cute.

I think that was my favorite
moment of the whole season.

And I really loved
everyone seeing their families.

What are you doing to
celebrate the finale tomorrow?

I will be in Saint Lucia
with my glass of wine,

I will be watching on my iPad,

and it's going to be
a good time.

You don't mind
if we join you, right?

I don't mind. Come with me.
The more, the merrier.

- Now, can you imagine?
- We can all share the iPad.

Let's go.

Are you going to watch
"Beyond the Villa"?

Because that's coming out soon.

- Yes. I'm nosy.
- Same.

I love my girls on there,

so it'll be fun to see
how their journeys are

after this experience
has happened.

One final question.

Who are you rooting
for tomorrow night?

I think I want Amaya to win,
because that's my girl.

So I'm gonna
have to go for Amaya.

And I want Nic and Olandria
to withstand the test of time

after the show, but I feel
like Amaya deserves it the most.

Really has gone through it.

I'm like--
I scream at the TV like,

"Girl, where do you get
your energy from?"

She just gives all the time.

When she gets the zoomies
and starts running?

Oh, my God.
I'm so obsessed.

I love all the couples,
to be honest.

- It's a great final, right?
- Yeah.

All the finalists are
just incredible.

You've been amazing, Chloe.
Thank you so much.

Oh, I love y'all.
Thank you.

- We love you.
- We love you.

Give it up for Chloe Bailey, everyone.

Girl, call me.

Thank you.
We love you!

- Gorgeous, gorgeous girl.
- Oh, my God, she is fine.

- She is fine.
- She's bangin'!

I don't think I've ever
geeked that hard in my life.

Coming up,
our finalists reflect on

their "Love Island" journeys,

and Taylor and Clarke
will be on the sofa.

But next,
we get the "Love Island"

lowdown from Ariana Madix.

See you in a bit!

Whoo!

**

Welcome back to
"Aftersun USA"!

Now, I've been waiting
all year for this reunion.

She's a fashion icon
and an incredible TV host,

and I'm so lucky
to call her a friend.

No one does anything
quite like her.

It's Ariana Madix!

My queen has returned!

Oh, my God. Let's pretend
we didn't have dinner together.

Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God!

You look so gorgeous,
as always.

Thank you.
You look stunning.

Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.

I need this.
I missed you.

I've missed getting to sit
on this sofa with you

and, like, just talk about
everything that's going on.

Well, I've been watching,
and I literally was like...

Yeah, what a season, right?

Can you actually believe
it's the finale tomorrow?

It feels like
it's gone by so fast.

Well, I'm really sad

because, obviously,
I've not been here, and, like--

Yeah.
We only just got you back.

I know.

Obviously, so much
has happened this season,

but it somehow feels
like it has been shorter,

even though it's
the same amount of time.

- Yeah, yeah.
- I don't know.

Like, the other day,

I was thinking about how we only
had a few days left here in Fiji

and I was, you know,
watching the sunset

and getting emotional.

I just was thinking like,
"How did it go by so fast?"

And, like,
I'm going to miss it.

Now, what did you make of
this week?

I was not okay watching
the families come in.

I literally got so emotional.
- Yeah.

- Did you get emotional?
- I did. I got emotional.

And I love
when the families come,

because, like, I feel like it
gives you such a better sense

of knowing each one of them

when you see them interact
with people

who really know them

and who they feel
super-comfortable with.

That gag with the screen
and then Amaya's family, like--

- Oh, and they snuck in?
- Yeah.

I was almost--
When they did this, I was like,

"We need, like, a slo-mo."

Yeah, I know. I know.
No, that was everything to me.

It was really wholesome.
That's the correct word.

It was just wholesome to me.

I was like, "Oh, my God."
I could watch that all day long.

Yeah, it was
super, super cute.

That Viva Las Villa Challenge,
that looked so fun.

Yeah, I love watching
the messy, the, you know,

just pouring buckets
of different colors

of liquid on each other.

Like, I just love
watching all the ways

that each islander kind of
will do each thing differently,

whether it's the sliding
down the pole, which--

Huda coming down that pole,
and she was, like--

- She's so impressive.
- Oh, my God.

Although, the pole, I
think, needed to be

a little bit--
It was like...

Yeah, they were getting
caught on it.

I was like,
"That sounds painful."

It needed a bit
of lubrication, guys.

- Lubrication.
- It was definitely fun.

I love watching
all the challenges,

because it's like best friends
just having the best time.

Yeah, everyone
just kind of messes about,

and it's such a blast to watch.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, apart from reuniting
with me...

- Yes.
- Obviously.

What's been your
favorite moment of the series?

Oh, I've really enjoyed,
like,

getting to go in
and tell the girls about Casa,

because it was sneaky.

I got to sneak in there.

At one point,
we weren't sure, like,

should I take my shoes off just
in case I made too much noise?

You were like,
"No, they look too good."

And, like, just getting to be
a part of, like,

those fun moments with everyone,

because so many times,
I come in there with bad news,

or I come in with
bad news disguised as good news,

or it starts as good news
and then it turns to bad news.

So when I get to come in
and just have fun with them

and do something like that--

or even, like, the leather
challenge, which was just fun.

Those are my favorite moments
of the season for sure.

Okay, well,
my favorite moment was

every single one of your looks,

because you slayed
every goddamn time!

Thank you.

Where do you
actually go with the mic packs?

Oh, my God. So...

- I'm like--
- Yeah.

Obviously, the one
where the top was like this,

and then it looked
like it was pants,

but that was attached, right?

Yeah.

Where the hell did
the mic pack go?

- Here.
- Oh, right here?

Yeah.
That should be a game in itself,

is looking at the looks

and trying to find,
where's the mic pack?

A lot of times, it is
kind of up in my butt crack,

I'm not gonna lie.

Oh. Oh.

But, like, that could be--

Every time I walk in,
that could be a game of,

"Where's the mic pack?"

"Guess where
my mic pack is today."

- Yeah. See if you get it right.
- Literally.

What was your favorite look?
- Oh, man.

I really like the mermaid
multi-colored Casa look.

That's kind of like my dream
hair I've always wanted,

and just everything
about that was super-fun.

You can pull off any look, though.

Like, every hairstyle.
I mean, you're just hot.

Well, professional help is key.

God, we love our glam team.

Yeah.

- They are good. Kudos to them.
- Yeah, they are.

Yeah, they are.
They're great.

Yeah.
If it was left to me, oh, no.

- Oh, yeah, no.
- Well, like, I walk around L.A.,

and no one even knows who I am
because I look like--

Literally! I get that, as well,
until I open my mouth,

and they're like,
"Are you Maura Higgins?"

I'm like, "Don't look at me."

Yeah.

Okay, tell me, how excited are
you for our final four?

I'm so excited.
You know what's so crazy,

is these couples are
all so wildly different

and unique from each other.

- Uh-huh.
- And, you know,

if you look at each one
of these couples' journeys,

they're all just
so wildly different.

It's really anyone's
game at this point.

And, yeah, I'm just excited
to see how it all shakes out.

Now, Ariana, it's usually you

who brings surprises
to the islanders,

but this time, the Islanders got
a little surprise for you.

Take a look at this.

Dear Ariana,
a.k.a. "Queen Ariana,"

a.k.a. "The Don,"
a.k.a. "El Jefe."

Miss goddess,
Barbie, walking sun.

I just want to say
how much I appreciate you

and everything you do for us
here on "Love Island."

I admire you so much
and I think

that you were such
a fucking powerful woman.

Your aura is
absolutely insane.

You were one of my biggest--

well, are my biggest
inspirations of

why I have the standards
that I do

and why I always fix
the crown on my head

whenever I feel
like it's tilted.

We don't like it all the time
when you come in,

but when you do,
you have this light to you.

I always look forward to
your outfits.

Girl, you be killin' it.

You always walked
with such a, like, sexy strut.

You're always looking fly and
with the fits and everything.

I will say,
your outfits are fucking iconic.

I'm definitely
going to steal some fashion tips

from you, my girl.

I want to be you.

From the bottom of my heart,
I appreciate you for everything.

I know you don't have
the easiest job.

You got to deal with all of us.

You know, seeing it
on television is one thing,

but seeing that shit up close,
in person is another thing.

Getting to talk to you,
you know, on the side,

when cameras aren't filming,
has been a pleasure.

You are the definition of
how a woman should carry herself

and to never, never, never let
anybody define who they are.

So thank you, Ariana.

It was such
a pleasure meeting you.

All love from Bryan for you.

Love you, girl.

Ari, you are the best.

You keep on being the queen
that you are.

Oh, my God.
Hugs, hugs, hugs.

I mean, it's so true.

Don't fall.
No, it's so true though.

You actually are a queen.

And, like--
- Oh, thank you.

They absolutely adore you.

I love them.
Like, I really do.

And it's-- You know,
it's been a really tough season

for a lot of reasons.

I think for them, for islanders
who were eliminated,

I think for me,

I think there's been a lot
of stuff that's just been crazy.

And I just want them to know

and any islander that has also
left the villa at this point,

I just want them all to know how
much I, like, genuinely,

really love and appreciate them
for putting themselves out there

and for gassing me up
when I come in, too.

Because, yeah, I always hope
that I get to bring good news,

but I know sometimes I'm the...

- Sometimes, you kick them out.
- ...the Glam Reaper.

So...

No, but they
absolutely adore you.

You can see that.
It's so genuine.

The feeling is mutual.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, Ariana,
thank you so much for being

such a huge part of "Aftersun"
this season.

I know I've only been here for
like one episode, but whatever.

I'm back now.
I'm not leaving again.

- You better not.
- I won't, I promise.

We absolutely adore you.
Like, honestly.

And I genuinely adore you.
Like, you are just such a queen.

We cannot wait to see you
in the finale tomorrow night!

Give it up for Ariana Madix, everyone.

Queen of "Love Island"
forever.

Coming up after the break,
Taylor and Clarke--

our clothes-off exclusive
and ready to tell me everything.

I'll see you in a few.

I love them.

**

- I love you.
- I love you.

**

Welcome back to "Aftersun."

It's time to say howdy
to our next guest.

Cowboy Taylor came to Love
Island looking for a cowgirl,

but in the end, his heart was
stolen by city slicker Clarke.

They're here now,
so please give a huge yee-haw

for Taylor and Clarke.

Yee-haw!

- Yee-haw.
- I always wanted to say that.

- What's up?
- Hey, guys.

- You guys look so good, dude.
- Thank you.

- Money T.
- Thank you.

How are you feeling?

- Good.
- Good.

- You look great together.
- Thank you.

- I appreciate it.
- You guys look so cute together.

- Thank you.
- You look even more like

a cowboy in real life.

Literally. Literally.

I've always wanted to be
a cowgirl.

Also, I want to say
a huge congratulations

on being exclusive!

- Thank you.
- Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, it was also so cute
how you did it.

- So cute.
- So cute.

I almost cried.
Were you shocked?

- Very. Like I was like--
- Yeah?

Were you like, what the hell
is going on here?

Yes. I'm ready
to drink my wine.

What we stopping to toast for?

No, no, it was funny,
I loved it.

No, that was really romantic.

- The boys killed that choreo.
- They did.

It took us a minute
to get that choreo down, though.

- It was so good.
- Yeah, it took us a minute.

I still got this picture
of you in my head

when you like
put your tongue out

'cause you were that excited
with all the boys.

You're like, ah!

I was like, he is so happy.

Should we take a quick look
at your Love Island journey?

- Aw, shit.
- A look see?

So I want to ask you,

Clarke, will you be
exclusive with me?

- Yes. Of course.
- Aww!

The couple
with the fewest votes

and dumped from the island is...

Clarke and Taylor.

Hey, Tay. Thank you, cowboy,

making me laugh.

happiest dudes around the Villa.

Clarke, you're just, like,
the biggest girl's girl ever.

- Guys, that was cute.
- That was so beautiful.

- That was cute.
- Appreciate it.

- That is so cute, right?
- Oh, my gosh.

How does it feel
watching that back?

'Cause that's probably the first
clip you've seen, right?

This the first time I've seen
everything. Like, damn.

Like thinking back,
like, all the way to day one

and just seeing it
all over again, it's like, wow.

Clarke, what about you?

Oh, my gosh. I literally
don't know what to say.

Seeing that, I'm like, wow.

- Yeah.
- It was cute, though.

- Does it feel real?
- No.

- No?
- This is not real life.

This is A.I. We are A.I.
- This is A.I.

Clarke, you had watched
some of the season

before you went into the Villa.
- Yeah.

Did you think that you
and Taylor might be a good fit,

or were you a bit like,
no, this isn't gonna happen?

- A little bit of both.
- A little bit of both.

He was my number one
going in,

but I was still surprised
that we hit it off so well.

You only had two days
together alone in the Villa

before Olandria came back.

How hard was that for you?

It wasn't hard.

I did want to show her respect

and have a conversation with her

but also continuing
to be authentic

and moving the same way that I
was before she got there, so...

Yeah, of course.

Taylor, you declared
in front of everyone

that you chose Clarke
during the challenge.

How was that--

How was that moment for you?

Were you, like,
nervous about saying that,

or were you just like,
you know what,

F this, I'm just saying it?

I was nervous as hell,
'cause I'm like, yo.

- Oh, you were?
- Yeah.

And at that moment,
like, it was like

they wanted the answer
right then and there.

So I was leaning more towards
Clarke, so I chose Clarke.

But I was nervous as hell
to say it, though.

Do you know
who went home last night?

- No.
- I'm gonna tell them. Whatever.

It was actually Ace and Chelley.

- No way.
- What the fuck?

- Yes.
- That's crazy.

- I know.
- I'm in shock.

We've got them coming up
on the show later

so you can see them in a bit.

- Oh, my gosh. That is so--
- Yeah, I gotta, I gotta--

I know. I know.
You have to see your brother.

I gotta. I got to.

I want to know what's next
for you both.

Have you talked about
life outside the Villa

and what it's gonna look like?

- Yeah, we definitely have, yeah.
- Yeah?

'Cause it's long distance, right?

Yeah, it's long distance, but
she gonna be down in Oklahoma,

so...
- Yee-haw.

- Yee-haw!
- Yee-haw! Hello, New York.

Get that cowboy hat, girl.

Yeah, she finna be rodeoing,
so going to rodeos and--

I've always wanted
to go to a rodeo.

Taking care of horses,
shoveling horse shit, all the--

- No. Not that part.
- Not the shoveling horse shit.

I did not sign up for that.
- Taylor, that's too far.

Yes. Little by little, please.

- You got yourself a cowboy now.
- I know.

Well, you have both been
absolutely incredible islanders.

Thank you so, so much
for joining us on "Aftersun."

Give it up one more time

for the incredible
Taylor and Clarke, everyone!

Yee-haw.

Yee-haw!

Still to come,

Ace and Chelley spill the tea
on their shock exit,

and Season 6 star Liv Walker

will be talking all things
beyond the Villa.

But after the break,
our finalists

give their sweetest Beach Hut
interviews yet.

Don't go anywhere.

**

Welcome back to "Aftersun."
And I'm loving our new bar.

Who the hell gave you
a liquor license?

I have no idea.

But I'm not the best,
but I'm getting better.

I believe that.

I actually heard from Sophie
your cocktail-making skills

are top notch.

They're not 100% yet,
but based on my response,

they're getting better, yeah.

Okay, okay.
What have you made this week?

This week,
I made us a sweet cocktail

to celebrate the finale.
- Okay.

And I call this one
"Mamasweeta."

Ooh!
I like what you did there.

Okay, what's in it?

This one has
traditional blanco tequila

with papaya juice.

Let's try.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Justine,
I've got one for you, as well.

- Oh, my God. It's so good.
- It's good?

- Yeah?
- It's proper good, isn't it?

Oh, my God.

I think this is
the best one to date.

Okay,
I'm taking a few bottles home.

I'm not gonna lie.
Don't tell anyone.

Now, earlier today,
Callum sent some of these drinks

to the Beach Hut
along with some

very sweet questions
for our finalists.

But they can't all fit
in at once,

so instead of going live,

we're going to the Beach Hut
with "Cuervo on Tape."

Cheers, guys.
- Cheers!

You got a text!

- From Cuervo.
- Ahh!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I would say funny, charismatic,
and genuine.

Aww!

Funny, confident,
and ambitious.

Outgoing, funny as fuck--
emphasis on "as fuck"--

and he's super-caring.

Loving,
nurturing, and motivated.

Aww!

- Fine as hell.
- Okay.

Hmm.

When he stood up for me
during the

Stand on Your Business
Challenge, I was like, "Ooh!

Okay, you know what?

That's something right there."

At the dock.

Mm.
I would have to say the same.

When we kissed
in the Speakeasy.

- Really?
- Yeah.

That was a very
romantic moment for me.

She kind of honestly
backed up into me.

You putting
my business out.

It is true.

Mm...

I'm gonna have to say
her eyes.

- Aww!
- Those green-ass eyes.

Open your eyes.
You see? Ain't they so pretty?

- Honestly, your cheeks.
- Really?

Is her never-ending loyalty.

He's just so honest.

- How caring she is.
- Aww!

How nurturing she is.

Aww!

I would say
how protective he is.

Mm...

She is funny as shit.

I would say her softness.

Usually,
Dominicanas are super-fiery.

She is fiery, but she has
a softness to her, too.

Honestly,
how much you work out.

What? Are you trying to say
I don't look like I work out?

No.

It's her soft side.
She's like a hard-boiled egg.

I would say... overcoming.

I would say unexpected.

Unexpected.

I was literally gonna
say that.

Ah, I would say magical.

I would say magical.
I gotta agree with her.

Okay, one, two, three...

- Magical.
- Magical.

- Cheers, baby!
- Cheers!

To the final four,
Season 7, "Love Island."

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- That's good.
- Oh, yeah.

Still to come on "Aftersun,"

Season 6 star Liv Walker talks
all things life after the Villa,

and Ace and Chelley
give their first interview

since their shock dumping.

See you in a few!

Whoo!

Welcome back to "Aftersun"!

Whoo!

Now, it's not just the
"Love Island USA" finale

tomorrow,
it's also the world premiere of

"Love Island:
Beyond the Villa."

And I'm joined by one
of its stars now.

During Season 6, she was
unfiltered and unforgettable,

and now she's ready
to make even more TV gold.

Joining us live from Vegas,
it's Liv Walker, everyone!

Liv, how are you?

Beautiful girl.

You guys literally look
stunning.

- We've missed you so much.
- I've missed you guys.

Like, I want to be
on that couch right now.

It doesn't even feel
like that long ago

that you were sat
on this couch with us.

I can't believe it's,
like, been a year.

Like, I'm watching the series
and I'm like,

"Wait, I used to sit
on that chair. Wait."

I'm like,
"I feel like I'm back at home."

It's, like, a weird feeling.

What are you thinking
of this season?

Oh, my God.

Okay, so many thoughts
are going through my head.

They're absolutely killing it.

And I was bawling my eyes
out at the family visits.

Us too. Us too.
That was so emotional.

Have you got a favorite moment
from this season?

I feel like that would
have to be my favorite moment,

because everyone was,
like, so, like, uplifted.

Everyone was, like,
so happy for each other.

I loved seeing, like,
everyone's families come in.

Like, I didn't think I would
be crying outside of the Villa

with something to do with
"Love Island," but...

- Here we are.
- That is so real.

How has life been
like after "Love Island"?

Oh, my God.
I feel like it's not been real.

Like, I'm so
incredibly grateful for, like,

what opportunities
I got given from "Love Island."

But it's been like--
We're filming our new show,

but it's been like--
It's been amazing.

I can't complain.

How is the love life?

I have to ask this because,
I mean, I'm just being nosy now.

Are you single?
Are you coupled up?

Tell me everything.

No, I've got a boyfriend.
I'm not single.

- You have a boyfriend?!
- Oh, period!

- What?!
- She sounded surprised.

I know, shock, right?

Aww!
I'm so happy for you.

- We need a hard launch.
- Thank you.

We have to talk about
"Beyond the Villa,"

starring the Season 6 cast.

What was it like
being reunited with everyone?

It was honestly
such an amazing feeling.

I feel like none of us
have all been in one space

at the same time for a while.

But all being in one place,
there's going to be drama.

Wait. Is there a lot
of drama?

I mean, we're-- Come on, now.
Look at our group.

There's going to be drama in it,

but I feel like
the best thing about us

is that we can dish it out,
but we're such a, like,

big, loving family
that we all kind of, like,

resolve it, lean on each other,

and, like,
figure it out somehow.

And if you don't,
keep it moving.

What can viewers expect
to see on the show?

Have you any gossip for us,
like any exclusives or anything?

Just give me anything.

Ooh.
I didn't know about gossip,

but I feel like
an exciting thing

that people will be,
like, looking is to see

how the relationships
and how the couples get along.

I think that's so beautiful.

But you'll also see friendships

that you might not have seen
in the Villa, like, grow.

- Okay.
- It's going to be a good summer.

Like, everyone should
be tuned in.

I am so, so excited.

Are you excited?
- Yeah, I'm so excited.

It's so exciting.

It's going to be so good.
- I am set.

Liv, thank you so,
so much for joining us.

We love you here on "Aftersun,"

and I cannot wait
to see you back on my screen.

I'm so excited!

Give it up for our favorite,
Liv Walker, everyone!

Love her.

Next up, it's time to introduce
our unseen moment of the season

like you've
never seen it before.

Take it away, Iain.

Oh, hey, Maura Higgins.

So glad to have you back...
you traitor.

Anyway, it's Iain Sterling here.

You probably won't remember me,

but I'm the voice of
"Love Island"

and the voice of...

you know,
very little else, actually.

I'm very busy, you know,
professionally, doing this.

Anyway, I am doing my best
unseen moment of the season,

and I said to the producers,

"If it's all season, I'm going
to need a top 50, minimum."

They said,
"You can have one moment."

I said, "Fine.
Top 10-- final offer."

And we negotiated,
and I used my star power.

So here I am with my top-1
unseen moment of the season.

And this one is
an absolute banger.

If it had to be one,
it had to be this one.

And it is, of course,
Amaya in the makeup room,

singing her smash hit
"This is Who the F I Am."

And this isn't any clip.

This is the full-length,
unseen version.

So enjoy.
I love you all.

it was before day one

we're leaving people behind.

But, you know,
I get to spend, you know,

a lot of time with this one
right here, so I'm excited.

You went to the Hideaway,
became exclusive.

- There we go.
- Met each other's families.

- Yes.
- And then you were dumped.

All in two days.

- What the hell? Are you okay?
- It was like a roller coaster.

I mean, we're still processing
and adjusting.

It was, like, such a high
and then whoo.

Well, we have a lot
to talk about.

Of course.

But first,
should we take a look

And I'm like, "Girl, whatever."

Oh, my gosh,
all my teeth are showing.

Let's go back
to the very start.

You instantly
recognized each other

before the Villa.
- Yeah.

How much of a shock was that?

I remember, like,
my stomach fell to my ass.

I was just like,
"What are the fucking odds?"

How did we both end up here,
you know?

We met in NYC,
decided to DM a little bit,

but, like,
he's all the way in L.A.

I'm in New York City.
Also, at the time,

like, I'm doing my own thing
in New York, dating and stuff.

So, it was just like, okay,
like, we're Instagram friends.

Like, we just think each other
look good, but that's it.

So, that's why I was just so
crazy for it to come full circle

and meet
in fucking "Love Island."

There's been
some wild conspiracy theories

that you guys planned
to be on the show together.

Yes, yes.

I can see just
by your reactions.

Like...

Can you just put
the record straight for us?

She's in Florida. I'm in L.A.

You know,
we have two separate lives.

And when I came here, the first
thing I said was, "I notice you.

I know who you are."

- Wow. How crazy.
- That's insane.

That's how you know
it was like meant to be.

Yeah, meant to be.

It feels like that because
it's like the odds are insane.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Ace, I have to ask you.
Some islanders...

Yeah.

...thought you were
like a ringleader in the Villa.

Yeah. I was very vocal
about my opinion,

and I understand I'm a leader
at the end of the day.

You know, some people are going
to be hurt by my decisions.

But I love everybody.

And everybody had
their own experience here,

so, yeah.
- Yeah.

The islanders chose you guys to
spend a night in the Hideaway.

I have to ask,
can you sing the song for us?

It go a little something
like...

♪ Eat that kitty,
eat that kitty ♪

♪ Eat that kitty
in the Hideaway ♪

♪ Eat that kitty,
eat that kitty ♪

♪ Eat that kitty
in the Hideaway ♪

We are so obsessed
with the song, by the way.

Yeah, we love that song.

I think it gets
the people going.

- It really does.
- It does.

What's next for you guys now?

How are you going to make
the long-distance thing work?

Honestly, I feel like we
could be a million miles apart.

We're still going to make
it work at the end of the day.

Oh, stop it, guys.

- I know.
- I'm going to cry.

Yeah.

- If he wanted to, he would.
- He will. He does.

It's not a million miles.

I feel
like if you're intentional

and you know what you want,

you're going to make
it happen regardless.

And that's where we're at.

And she's gonna be
moving to L.A. soon.

- Exactly. So...
- Yes.

Yes. So, guys,

who are you most looking forward
to seeing after the Villa?

I'm so excited to meet Taylor
again on the outside world.

Would you like
to see them right now?

You're lying.
Say swear to God.

- I don't lie, Ace.
- Say swear to God right now.

Taylor and Clarke!

Oh, my God.

Oh, that is cute!

- That is so cute!
- Cute, cute, cute.

- Damn, yo!
- This is crazy.

This is wild.

I bet it feels like you
haven't seen each other in ages,

but it's only been zero time.

What the fuck?

Who are you guys
backing tomorrow in the finale?

We start with you, Taylor.

Either Nic and Olandria
or Amaya and Bryan.

Okay. Clarke?

I'm gonna go Amaya and Bryan.

Ace?

My heart want to say
Nic and Olandria,

but I'm gonna
definitely say Amaya and Bryan.

Why do you say that?

Because she's super
hilarious. Like me and her,

we already squashed beef
and chopped it up.

Like, I love her,

so I definitely think her
and Bryan got something special.

Amaya, she went through
a roller coaster

with the guys that she met.

And, you know, Bryan was someone
that really, truly seen her,

like, the moment
he came in here,

and has stood behind her even
when they were just friends.

So, the fact that they ended up
having like a relationship

and their families loved
each other, too,

it was just like, damn, like,
I can't deny what I'm seeing.

So, it really is tough, though.
It really is tough.

But between those two for sure.

You've all been such incredible
islanders, honestly.

It's Ace and Chelley.

And Taylor and Clarke!

Smashed it.

I'm afraid that's all
we have time for tonight.

And that's all
from "Aftersun" this season.

I'm so sad.

A big thank-you
to all our guests

and to all
our incredible islanders.

The finale of "Love Island USA"
drops tomorrow night on Peacock.

Do not miss the moment Ariana
Madix crowns your new winners.

Thank you and good night.
