They've come to Fiji looking for love, friendships, and a summer they'll never

forget. The world's most talked about dating show is back.

Bigger, bolder, and ready to bring the heat.

I'm Ariana Maddox, and this is Love...

That's just the way

Welcome to Love Island USA Season 7.

This year is our most eco-friendly yet.

Not only did we lower our carbon footprint by bringing the islanders over

to Fiji by shipping container, we've also had the lights off all winter.

Just give me a minute to fix that. I mean, I've no idea why they left it on

switch in my VO booth.

You Americans are crazy.

We're back, baby!

And

we've

tracked down some of America's most intellectual minds and asked them if

they've got any hot friends who fancied being on TV.

Over the next six weeks, a bunch of sexy singles are hoping to find love and win

a share of $100,000 while hanging out in Fiji's most expensive Airbnb.

And this season, we've added a speakeasy, a sauna, and a photo booth,

which is a huge relief because apart from the 85 hidden cameras and the 17

microphones superglued to the bed frames, there is no way of documenting

any of this.

But right now, it's time to meet our first two islanders. And ladies, raise

your hand if you think the voiceover guy's sexy.

I'm coming back. Hi, girl. Hi, I'm Shelly.

You are gorgeous.

I'm Olendria. Nice to meet you. I love this dress on you.

Thank you so much.

Love Island USA, girl. Let's do it. Let's do it.

I'm coming back.

I'm coming back.

This is so beautiful.

Look. This is stunning.

This is where the magic happens. Oh, my god. Oh, my gosh. Where's the first one?

Oh, my god.

Wow. OK, let's take a look. Girl, this is something to celebrate, for sure. Oh,

my gosh.

First ones at the villa. Period.

OK. OK.

Oh, this is beautiful. OK. Oh, my god. All right. Cheers to a good-ass night.

Mm-hmm. To seeing some fine-ass men. I thought that's right. And being the

first bitches at the villa.

I'm Shelly. I'm 27.

I'm a day trader, and I live in Queens, New York.

People are very surprised I'm a day trader because they're like, wait, what?

So you're smart.

Duh. Of course I'm smart. Like, what?

I'm 100% unapologetically myself.

I'm very much like an open book. Like, anything you want to know, you just have

to ask.

I've dated girls before. I date guys.

But there's no label when it comes to me. People will be like, oh, so are you

bi? Are you straight? I'm Shelly. That's it.

Feel me?

Good sex is very important to me. That's one thing I don't play about. Because

it's like, if we don't have good sex, then what do we really have here? People

say you can teach it, but I just don't believe that.

I'm so ready to get into this villa because I do want to be in love again.

Gosh, there's going to be so many different flavors.

And I don't stick to just one. I like them all. So if they look good, I'm

like, oh, my gosh, they're all in the palm of my hands. I mean, I love that

for me.

Where are you from?

Alabama. I can hear it. Oh, my God, no. You can hear it? I've been trying to

hide it so bad. I've been trying to code switch a little bit. No, you don't have

to. Deep South, baby. I love that.

Well, I'm from Miami. Born in Miami.

Living in Queens, New York. You know what I mean?

See, girl.

Okay, so you like Southern men or... Oh, baby, I love me a Southern man. I love

country men. Is that what you're looking for?

What? What?

A good Southern man that likes to get his hands dirty? That know how to build

a house? I know that's right. A man that open doors?

I should not have to touch a door in the presence of my man.

I'm Alandria, I'm 27, and I actually reckon the elevator and escalator

industry.

I'm just a girl from Decatur, Alabama.

We have some great soul food. I actually can cook very well. Cornbread from

scratch, Bob's cornbread, nah, nah, nah. Eat his way to a man's heart, it's

through his stomach.

My mom had three kids by the age of 21.

I am a first-generation college student. I did attend the HBCU. It was the best

decision I could have ever made. I went to Tuskegee TU.

I'm just so excited to find my man.

My mom was advising me before I left. She was like, if you got to make out, do

it to the best of your ability. You better do that shit. Don't disappoint

me. Do what you got to do.

I was like, yes, ma'am.

I can't wait to see the guys.

That's all I know. All I know. It better be some fine shit. You know what? I'm

giving them the benefit of the doubt. Because I see me. I see you. You see me.

So I'm like, y'all got good taste. You see what I'm saying? They lucky. They

lucky already.

It's now time to meet our third Islander. She's just been dropped off by

a Fijian Uber driver who in his own words is having the greatest day of his

professional career.

Bitch, you look good. Thank you. You look gorgeous.

Hi, baby.

Hi, baby.

Hi, baby.

Y'all are so fucking ethereal.

And this is for you. Oh, my. Thanks, Betsy. Come on. Cheers.

Wait, I'm Huda. Cheers to bad bitches.

Cheers. Cheers.

Wait, what are y'all's names?

Olandria. Olandria?

Nice to meet you. I'm Huda.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Shelly. Shelly, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You said Huda, right? Huda.

Huda. Huda. Think of it like Huda woulda shut up.

Huda woulda cut up.

This is fancy in here, okay?

All right, Love Island.

Work.

I'm Huda. I'm 24.

I'm a fitness coach, and I'm from Raleigh, North Carolina.

I feel like I have this sweet lover girl side to me. I love doing cute things for

somebody. Love letters, flowers.

I love all the cutesy things.

Grew up in a super Middle Eastern household.

I am the baby of the family, but I'm also the only one with a baby.

My daughter is my best friend. She's my biggest hype woman.

I'll put a dress on and she'll be like, mommy, you look so good.

I had her when I was 19, which I know you guys are gonna be like, oh my God,

jump scare.

My mom taught me to not give a flying shit.

what anybody thinks about you. As long as you're happy and you're confident

within yourself, that's what really matters. If someone has a problem with

me being a mom trying to find the love of my life, I want you to play that back

in your brain and think about what you're saying.

I've been single for four years, so that's a pretty long time.

I don't want a guy who's at the club every weekend texting a million

different girls. I'm looking for somebody who is my lifelong partner.

I've given so much to my daughter over the years, and I feel like it's finally

time for me to do something for myself.

Just because you're a mom doesn't mean your life is over. Like, I'm only 24,

and I'm ready for a real man.

I live on my own. Like, I'm doing my own thing. Do you know what I'm saying? And

I feel like a lot of people might as they're...

Just figuring out their jobs. I have my own business.

That's right.

What do you do?

Oh, I'm a fitness coach.

I love the gym. I'm going to wake you up like, so hot. You're like, rise and

shine, bitch.

Get the fuck up.

Wait, how old do you guys want to be when you start having kids and stuff

like that? 30.

I'm torn in between, like, okay, I still want to explore my life and have fun,

but it's like, I want to be a mother, but I just don't know when now. I want

to raise a mini-me, you know?

But once I meet my man, then I can tell y'all when I want to have kids.

Like, that's it, because it's like, I don't got no man, so where am I going to

get these kids from? I know.

What about you? Say if I do meet my man this year, by 30, I think I will be one

and a half kids.

Yeah, start a family.

You know, I'm a mommy.

Your mom?

I am. I know that's right. How old is your baby?

Well, boy, girl? Girl, she's four.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I know. How is motherhood? It's good.

It's great. Honestly, I've been a single mom for, like, four years now. Never

introduced a guy to my kids.

No man has met the standards, like, whatsoever.

But I do want to wait to, like, tell people.

Okay. I just want, I feel like it's, like, my thing to tell. Exactly.

I feel like if I do tell, I want to, like, love you.

Time to meet our final two girls. One's come by jeep and the other by boat.

Well, unless she's swam. But her hair's got way too much volume for someone

who's just backstroked the Pacific Ocean.

Hi babe! What's your name? My name is Elisa, what's yours?

Let's do a cheers. Okay, let's do a cheers. We're gonna lead it. What are we

cheersing to?

Let's cheers to a good-ass night.

Yes! And memories to last a lifetime.

Cheers!

Aloha!

I'm Bella. I'm 22 years old.

I was originally born in Oregon.

to just believe in the positive things.

Call me a little DeLulu, but you know, sometimes DeLulu is just DeLulu.

I am so happy all the time.

If I were my friends, I would definitely be a little annoyed by it, but I think

everybody needs a me in their life.

My ex didn't want me. We were long distance and I wasn't.

worth it in the end for him, which he's stupid for.

But all the heartbreak, all of the hurt has led me to this moment here.

Hey!

I've typically gone for nonchalant guys, but I don't want my man to be nonchalant

in the way he loves me. I want his love to be loud, because I deserve that.

Not those words.

I'm excited.

What are you guys looking forward to?

Honestly, I'm looking forward to new experiences.

I was in a nine-year relationship.

Oh, damn.

Yeah. And no ring.

No ring.

Oh, fuck.

He left me for another girl.

Ew.

I'm Yulisa, I'm 27, I own a mobile bar on wheels, and I live in Miami, Florida.

I am 4'10", which technically speaking, I can get a handicap sticker, but I'm

not gonna do that.

People look at me and they're like, you're so cute.

But you don't really know how much, like, candela I could be. Candela's like

fire. Don't play with fire because you might get burned, baby.

I was in a nine-year relationship.

I met this guy when I was 16 years old. I would cook for him, clean for him.

While he was playing stupid fucking video games, he left me. I'm glad he

broke my heart because look at me here.

My mom was born in Cuba. My dad was born in Missouri.

Oh, my dad. My poor dad. I'm so sorry, papi.

He's going to see things that he's probably never thought he would see me

do. Just cover your ears.

Skip it.

In bed, you definitely have to spice it up for me. You need to make it fun.

Let's role play. Let me dress up for you. Whatever you want. I'm that girl.

He wants me to suck his toe? Fuck it, I'll suck your toe.

I'm super excited to come in here and find el amor de mi vida, mi gente.

an open heart, and honestly, whatever happens, happens.

I also, if I don't meet a guy, I'm gonna meet you beautiful women.

We're gonna create friendships, so I'm excited.

Cheers. Cheers to that, I love it.

Strap in girls, because here comes the one, the only, Ariana Maddox.

Oh, I love Ariana.

We're actually very similar. Well, except she looks fabulous in that dress.

Hello, ladies.

Welcome to Fiji.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to grab a drink and come talk to you.

Girl, you look so good. What the fuck?

I've got to join the party.

It's so surreal.

You guys are about to have the best summer of your lives.

Are you ready to find your man?

I'm ready to find him. I've been searching.

Okay, well, if I'm going to help you guys do that, I really want to get to

know you guys. Okay. I'm dying to know kind of everything about you.

Alandria. Yes?

What brings you to Love Island?

I've been single for, what, five years now?

Obviously, I've been dating in between. My only relationship I've been in...

It was, what, three years?

Honestly, at times, I truly feel like I over-healed because now I see myself

cutting people off of the smallest things. Yeah, do you think that's why

you haven't had another two? Exactly.

And I need to learn to allow people to make mistakes and allow them to grow

from them as well and not just cut them off immediately.

I think we can all tell already that you're a cool-ass girl.

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

Yeah. Ulyssa, what brings you to Love Island?

Well, honestly, I've been single for about a year and a half.

I was in a nine-year relationship.

I felt like I needed to take time for myself and find myself.

And I found myself because I lost myself with him. Are you ready to build your

roster? I am.

Bella.

Hey.

Hi. What are you hoping to find this summer?

Bottoms up.

Cheers. Cheers.

I've only been in one relationship.

And I'm a baby. I'm only 22.

Oh, yeah. But I am like kind of an old soul.

I'm a Christian, and I want somebody who wants a future. Like, the intention

behind is not just to play games. Like, yeah, I want to have a little fun, too.

But, like, let's have fun together for the rest of our lives. Yes, exactly. I'm

here for a good time and a long time. I love that. Yes.

What is your normal type, would you say?

I like really pretty men.

Is that, like, terrible to say? No, I'm saying.

Okay. No, because, like, I like pretty men, like a good-looking-ass man.

Yeah. Does that make sense?

I don't know. It makes total sense. Like, everyone looks at him, and you're

just like, damn.

Yeah. Like, I like someone who's in the gym. I'm a fitness coach, so it's like I

like someone who works out, too.

Yeah. All right, Shelly.

So what would you say is your type, personality-wise? Personality-wise,

like, you walk into the room, and your aura just speaks for itself.

You're very family-oriented and, like, just a genuine person, you know? Could

be goofy, romantic, because that's one thing that a lot of guys don't have

anymore is romance, and they lack chivalry. That's something I'm looking

for. Like, I need you to know that you should open every single door for me.

The car door, the... Period! You know, the building door. Like, I should be

walking on the inside of the side. Like, you know, all that stuff still matters.

So it's like when I'm on a date with a guy and he doesn't know that, I'm

looking at him sideways like, you're never seeing me again. And who knows? I

may not click with somebody, but I'll help them, like, click with one of y

'all. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know what? We won't work, but I know

who will work, you know?

And then if it's my man, that's my man.

All right, girls.

Should we top off our drinks and keep the party going?

All right.

Let's go.

Here comes the first boys of this season.

And I'm not saying they're desperate to meet the girls as soon as humanly

possible, but one of them has stolen a motorbike.

What up, my brother?

Hey, it's nice to meet you.

Talking on Instagram?

Already?

He did, he did. But it was just like, he lives in LA, and I live in Orlando.

So it's like, oh my god, this is insane.

The stars are aligning.

Amen!

Ace, what are you looking for?

Honestly, I'm looking for, like, a family-oriented person. I'm really big

on family. I'm looking for a person with a lot of personality, creative, like,

open-minded.

Somebody who I could, like, you know, fall deeply in love with. I'm a romantic

at heart.

Yeah.

What's up, baby?

What up, y'all? How y'all doing? This shit like that?

Say cheese.

Y'all not gonna make no noise? Like, I need some.

You know what I'm talking about. It don't matter which side is your good

side. I'm Ace. I'm 22 years old. I'm from Los Angeles, and I have a dance

company.

I grew up in Washington. It was rough. It's like the gutter gutter

of the streets of LA. Me, my brother, and my mom, we all slept in the same

bed. I got six siblings. I got three brothers, three sisters. I got them all

tatted on me. I take them everywhere I go.

I'm a big family man. My mom raised me to be the king I am today.

I got my rhythm from my mom. My pops, he got two left feet.

Dancing brings me joy overall, whether it's me dancing itself, whether it's

teaching people how to dance. It always has brought me joy just to see, you

know, people be happy.

People think I'm a player.

I have a very open spirit to just connect with anybody.

I'm a loving man at heart. You know what I mean? Don't hate the swag that I come

with. Don't do that.

Now,

I might be 5'10", but I ain't got no problem talking to taller ladies.

If you 6'2", 6'3", I'll chop that tree. I'm going to be like a little chihuahua

on a great day.

Ace,

what do you do for a living?

I teach people all over the world how to dance.

What kind of dance?

Anything. Anything you want to learn.

How old are you?

I'm 22.

Oh, you're a baby.

You still got breast milk on your breast, boy. You was a baby.

I'm 24 years old, so I don't really have, like, breast milk on me anymore.

I'm, like, almost grown.

Nicholas, did you also meet the ladies outside of a club in New York?

Maybe we met.

No, I don't know.

I think, like, from my past relationships, I was lacking, like, a

lot of attention towards me.

And so, like, honestly, just, like, quality time and physical touch, too.

I'm huge on that. You like your girls horny, huh?

No, I mean touchy. If that's horny, it's touchy, so I guess.

I'm Nick. I'm 24 years old. I'm a registered nurse, and I'm looking for

someone to take care of.

When I'm at work, the patients love touching my hair. They love the curls.

They sometimes call me some singer from the 50s. James Dean, I think I've

gotten.

My friends would describe me like feral. I love to take risks. When I see a new

experience, like I have to try it.

I've been to 44 countries.

There's so many different kinds of women and that's like different flavors,

different spices. And I love my food spicy.

I just want a woman that will understand that I do have these crazy sides.

Perfect night in would be, we're roasting little Cinnabons in the oven.

You know, we're dripping that icing all over each other, licking it off each

other.

If I'm getting goosebumps with a chick, that's how I know that something's going

right here. I'm ready to get real goose bumpy out here in the villa.

What kind of energy do you need from someone you're dating?

I love a little bit of crazy, honestly.

Keep me on the roller coaster.

Not too crazy, though. Just enough to keep me in the game.

Keep you on your toes.

Exactly.

Time now for boy number three. It's his first time walking into the villa. And

by the looks of things, it's his first time walking.

Ever.

What up, y'all?

What's good?

I like cowboys. What up, boy? What up, guys? Ladies, this is Taylor.

Taylor!

Where you from, bro? Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, I hear you.

Are you a cowboy?

Yes, ma'am.

New truck, big lift, old roads, we been.

I'm Taylor, I'm 24, and I'm a rodeo competitor.

Where's that accent from?

I got an accent?

Girl, let's go put some miles on it.

You can tell, like, a real cowboy versus, like, a fake cowboy by the way

they dress. Like, cowboys, they wear starched jeans all the way down the

middle. If you're wearing some skinny-ass jeans with some boots, you

know what I mean.

You is not a real cowboy.

I'm currently in vet school.

Seeing the way my grandpa cared for his animals just got me wanting to do vet

school and focus on horses.

I mean, I was on a horse before I could walk.

I own four horses personally. Thor, Azul.

There's Capri. And then my fourth one, you got like a little butt. So I just

call him Pinch.

Some of my red flags for women is them toes.

Like, if you got ugly feet, I can't do it. You gotta go.

I don't want to sound like sucking on them, but like, if a girl can't take

care of her feet, like, how she gonna take care of me?

Mile after mile after mile after mile.

My day in life has been hell.

Ain't shit in Oklahoma.

Everybody know everybody.

Everybody been with everybody.

I don't want somebody that everybody already been with. So it's just like,

damn.

I need help, so I'm here. I need help finding a girl. Please. We could break

it in if you know what I mean.

Put some miles on it.

Taylor, are you roping?

Rodeo. Rodeo? Yeah. What kind of rodeo? I do, like, a relay race. It's called

Pony Express.

Are you riding ponies? No, I'm riding, like, a horse.

Oh, okay. You know, I rode a mechanical bull once.

I feel kind of slow because, like, I didn't know ponies were real.

Like, I only thought of, like, my little ponies. So that's why when you're saying

ponies, I'm like, wait.

Your little pony is wiggy. Is this real? Like, y'all serious right now? That's

crazy.

Here come our final two boys, and last year just in time, I've got some

incredibly exciting news.

Apparently, ponies are real.

No, me neither.

That's Jeremiah and Austin.

Join the party, guys.

Wow. God, dude.

Welcome. Hi, I'm Austin. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Jeremiah.

Jeremiah, Austin, welcome to the party. What are you looking for here in Love

Island? I'm looking for a real connection.

Like, I would love to fall in love, and I fall in love really easily.

But, yeah, I'm 26 years old, from Michigan originally.

Now I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Yeah, I'm a pool boy. It's fun, especially down in Florida. Like,

there's so many beautiful women.

Beautiful women?

Look at a pool boy. Well, he's a pool boy, but they're like, hey, my pool

guy's outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who called the pool, man?

This is crazy.

This is the coolest.

I love all the colors.

I'm Austin.

I'm 26 years old. I'm from Northville, Michigan, and I'm a pool technician.

I absolutely love it. I get to see beautiful women on the daily.

My boss is kind of a cock flop, but when I don't have to work with him, it's

great.

I look damn good while cleaning a pool. I got a pretty decent bowl.

That's because I stuff it. No, I'm just kidding.

The pickup move that works 10 out of 10 times is going and spilling their drink

on accident.

You see like a cute girl and like she has her drink on the counter and then

you just like, whoops, and like you smack it off there and you're like, oh

my gosh.

I'm so sorry, can I buy you another drink? And they're like, well, yeah, you

kind of have to now. And it's like, okay. I swatted it away because I wanted

to buy you a drink.

I can't get enough.

I'm going into this looking to find my person. I want to have a big family. I

want to adopt some kids. I want to have kids of my own.

But if I don't see something with someone, I'm not gonna like go for like

an empty relationship.

It's just silly. Let's just both agree to fuck and like, you know, that's it.

Yeah, I'm excited. I'm nervous too.

My heart's been pumping, but yeah.

I'm super, I'm super excited to be here. Super excited.

Nervous is a good sign. It means someone's here. Yeah, yeah. A hundred

percent. A hundred percent.

What about you, Jeremiah?

Are you excited?

Nervous? Yeah, both. Both my hearts.

I ain't afraid to do it. Yeah, of course. We can't tell, though. Yeah,

you're keeping it cool.

What's up, ladies?

I'm Jeremiah.

I'm 25.

I live in Los Angeles. I'm a model, and I work as a caterer.

I'm a little bit of a nerd. I'm a huge bookworm.

I love playing video games.

I play, yeah, Fortnite.

I play Fortnite still, don't judge me.

Right now, fuck boy, the great guy scale, I'm three-fourths towards great

guy most of the time.

Me and my ex were together for a year and a half. I did cheat and it was like

honestly the worst thing I've ever done.

When you do some fucked up shit for the first time, you really like lose sight

of who you are.

But live and you learn.

That's why I am who I am now.

I'm looking for a strong, powerful woman that has emotional intelligence and that

can form a real connection that just build on top of each other and make each

other better.

I'm coming to get a new girlfriend. It's time to find something new.

Jeremiah, what are you looking for here? Yeah, I'm open for anything, really.

Yeah? Yeah, a girlfriend.

A girlfriend? Yeah.

I don't know about that. I don't want to set the expectation and say love, but

yeah, I'm definitely here to find something for sure.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Well, Islanders, I feel like you guys have gotten to know

each other a little bit.

So how about we get you guys coupled up?

Well, we're doing things a little bit differently this time.

Are you ready?

Welcome back to Love Island USA.

If you're wondering what it takes to be a good islander, we look for kindness,

passion, and much more importantly, the ability to woo loudly and on demand.

Islanders, it's time to get you coupled up.

And this year, things are going to be a little bit different.

I see it.

Girls, one by one, you're about to choose a boy that you want to couple up

with.

When it's your turn to choose, you get to pick two boys to share a hot, steamy

make-out with.

After both kisses, you get to choose which of the two boys that you want to

couple up with.

No. That is crazy.

But just because you couple up with a boy doesn't mean you get to keep him for

good. Oh, my God.

Because the next girl might want to kiss him, too.

Goddamn. Oh, my God.

And she also might decide to steal him away from you.

This is crazy.

Now, to make it fair, we're leaving the order of the game up to Lady Luck.

I'm going to draw your names one by one.

Let's see who's first.

Good luck, ladies.

First is Shelly.

All right, Shelly, it's a big decision.

Go get your men.

Go, Shelly. Yeah, go for it.

It's fine.

Oh, my God, the

double.

Look at your little teeth. Okay.

She's taking her time.

She's keeping us guessing.

How was the kiss?

It was amazing.

I was definitely... Yeah, I'm speechless right now.

Ace, how was the kiss for you? Is it worth the wait?

Hell yeah.

She's stunning, gorgeous.

You know, I feel alive right now.

Well, Shelly, it's now up to you. Who do you want to couple up with, Austin or

Ace?

Um, I think... I'm going to go with Ace.

Ace? Yes.

Okay.

Austin, Shelly didn't pick you, but you got a great kiss.

And I feel the love. I feel the love. It's still here.

Well, Shelly, congratulations.

You can now go over and join Ace.

Shelly, what made you choose Ace?

That was hot.

That was spicy.

Ace, how does it feel to be in a couple with Shelly? I don't know. It's a lot of

emotions right now. It's crazy, especially because, you know, I don't

usually kiss on the first date. So, like, I'm excited to get to know her.

All right. Well, we have our first couple of Love Island USA 2025.

Shelly and Ace.

Shall we see which lucky girl gets to go next?

Okay. So, Huda, we've got four single boys, Nick, Taylor, Jeremiah, and

Austin.

And we've got one couple, Shelly and Ace.

And you've got two kisses.

Remember, even though Shelly and Ace are in a couple, you can still kiss Ace. And

if you like it, you can steal him. The power is in your hands.

Okay. Time to let your lips do the talking.

Get a baby you got this She

said

swerve

Oh, that's right.

One more kiss.

She can stay here, right?

I'm done.

How was the kiss?

Amazing.

I don't know what to say. I'm not trying to stutter, so I'm going to say amazing.

That was good.

Yeah? You feeling it? Yeah. Good, good, good.

Ace, that was your second kiss tonight.

Yeah. Hot commodity, huh?

I don't know how I feel about being a second choice. I don't know.

Nah,

but nah, she's gorgeous.

For sure.

Well, Huda, you came here to find love for yourself.

That's it.

And it's now up to you.

Who do you want to couple up with, Jeremiah or Ace?

Jeremiah.

Jeremiah, congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you. I won.

Okay, Huda.

Go join Jeremiah.

I'm coming.

Hey, baby.

What's up?

Huda, what made you choose Jeremiah?

I really like the things that he said earlier about how he's looking for a

girlfriend.

And I feel like I need a more emotionally mature man, so. Yeah? And

what about the kiss?

It was really good.

Oh, Jeremiah, how does it feel to be in a couple with Huda? I'm very happy to be

here. I feel like I won. I ain't gonna lie. All right. We have our next couple

of Love Island USA 2025.

Huda and Jeremiah.

How are we doing?

Good. Great.

Fantastic. Nick, Taylor, you haven't been kissed yet.

You doing okay?

Yeah, I'm straight. Me too.

Nick, what about you?

I'm in Fiji. There's nothing to worry about.

I know the right one will come along.

All right. Well, maybe your luck's about to change.

Let's see who's going next.

Bella!

So, Bella, we've got three single boys, Nick, Taylor, and Austin.

We've got two couples, Shelly and Ace, and Huda and Jeremiah.

But none of that matters, because you can now kiss any two boys you like the

look of.

And then you'll choose one of them to couple up with.

Time to lock lips.

All right, Bella, get your men.

Who's next

The high school prom.

Very nice work, Bella.

Thank you. We went for pecs, so I got a little strict no kiss on the first day

policy.

Taylor.

How was the peck? It was cool. Yeah?

You feel me? Like, yeah, bro.

Nice and classy, so. Yeah. I mess with you. Yeah.

Yeah. Nick, what about you?

One of the best kisses on the cheeks I've had in a long time.

Well, Bella, it's now up to you.

Who do you want to couple up with, Taylor or Nick?

The pecks were magnificent.

Thank you both.

but I think Nick is calling my name.

Bella,

you can now go join Nick.

Yes, get your advances!

couple of Love Island USA 2025, Bella and Nick.

We only have two girls left.

Alandria.

Go get it, girl.

Let's see here.

Eenie, meenie, miney, mo.

So many choices, so many flavors.

Taylor you had a pack and now you've had a kiss. How was it? No, this was off. We

could have kept going for days

I ain't going to say too much, bitch.

You can say that for later. It was a good one for sure.

Well, Alandria, the choice is yours.

Who are you going to couple up with? Taylor or Nick?

Well, I've always wanted my personal cowboy.

That would be a country man.

So are you choosing Taylor?

I am.

Okay.

My man, my man, my man.

Yes. Taylor, congratulations.

Well, thank you. You got a baddie.

Go get your cowboy.

Don't tell me twice.

Well, we have our next couple of Love Island USA 2025.

Alandria and Taylor.

Okay, Alyssa, you're the last to go.

The power is now all in your hands.

You have two kisses to give out and one big decision to make.

Remember, Austin is single.

But you can also choose any boy who's currently in a couple.

Don't hold back.

You've waited a long time for this. I did.

Get kissing.

Bring in the heat i'm captivated Fantastic

I'll give you a kiss on the cheek. That's fine.

Wow.

Did you have

fun? I did. Good

job.

Okay, Alyssa, what did you think about those kisses?

Very steamy.

Very sexy. One was very different from the other one. Yeah, very different.

I think it was sexy.

Yeah? Yeah. Okay.

Jeremiah, you turned your cheek to Ulyssa. What was your thought behind

that? I was trying to be respectful.

Did it have something to do with Hoda as well?

Oh, yeah, a thousand percent. Yeah, yeah.

What was that you were like?

Oh, yeah.

Well, Ulyssa, you have a big decision to make.

I do.

Who do you want to couple up with? Ace or Jeremiah?

The choice is yours.

I think I'm going to go with Ace.

Okay. Ace, congratulations.

Shelly, your man has been stolen.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. You know, it's day one.

I think this might be a sign for me. So I'm okay. I'm good.

Well, lucky for you, Austin is single.

Hey, Austin.

So you're now in a couple with him.

You can head over to Austin's heart.

Hate to see her go, love to see her walk. We meet again.

I'm so glad.

And Shelly, you kissed Austin.

I know, that's what I'm saying. It's a sign. I don't know what's going on, but

we'll see.

Well, Ulyssa, congratulations.

You can now go and join Ace.

Ulyssa, what made you choose Ace?

We can't lie. He's a fine-looking man.

And he says he knows how to dance. I love me a man that can dance. I myself

like to dance. So I want to see what he can do.

She's amazing.

Came over here with a lot of great energy.

Now we have our first five official couples of Love Island USA 2025.

Alandria and Taylor, Hoda and Jeremiah, and Shelly and Austin.

This is so exciting, you guys.

So you're all cupping up, and your Love Island journey begins now.

You'll be living together, taking part in challenges together, and of course,

sharing a bed together.

How does that sound?

And six weeks from now, the public will vote for their favorite couple. And that

couple could win $100,000.

But it won't all be smooth sailing.

Your relationships will be tested.

And the road to love is never simple.

So take my advice.

Don't get too comfortable.

Here's to a summer you'll never forget!

Yes!

Welcome back to Love Island USA, where we now have our first couples of 2025.

Bella and Nick, Ulyssa and Ace, Alandria and Taylor,

Huda and Jeremiah, and Shelly and Austin.

What's down here?

Let's all go explore the villa.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Oh, my God.

Fucking wait, wait. Shelly and Austin.

This is good.

Crazy. Oh, my gosh.

Our jobs were literally on the floor. Like, the shit is so beautiful and so

colorful. Like, bitch, we're in the fucking villa.

This is insane.

Whoa. Oh, it's a little lounge area.

Speakeasy? I feel like this is where, like, y'all men would smoke your cigars.

Wait, I love this. Cigars is crazy.

I ain't 40. Who's smoking a cigar?

I don't know. Like, that's the vibe.

The tour was a surreal experience because the villa is sensational.

They got a speakeasy. Oh, yeah, I'm very excited.

Oh, photo booth.

Look how cute. Does this work?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, there we go.

Photo booth is crazy.

It was like a first date type of vibe. Oh, yeah, I got them right here,

actually. She loved them. I'm going to hang them up. She wants to hang them up.

Alandria's about to have her first chat with her new man, and she is furious.

Not at Taylor, it's just as an elevator salesperson, she finds taking the stairs

incredibly demeaning.

If you can build a woman, what does she look like?

All right, so we got top good teeth, you know, which you got. Okay. You know, big

butt.

Okay. And good toes, bro. You gotta have good toes.

Don't look at my feet. They swollen.

Yeah, they almost... They not bad.

They almost jumped at me now. Keep them down.

I can't wait till yours. I do got one black toe.

A horse stepped on my foot.

Oh, my God.

Yes. I just have a black... No, it's fungus.

Don't do that, because my shit ain't fungus. I ain't do it. I get pedicures.

Come on, now.

You're funny.

Like, I... Dad was laughing. I'm never laughing at men jokes. You shouldn't be

a bully, bro.

What you looking for?

Like, in a guy, yeah.

I'm the really only Southern male, so I'm just like, I love a countryman, I

love a cowboy, I love this, I love that.

And boom, you walk in with a cowboy hat. I'm just like... Look, look at the guy.

So, when you walk in, I'm like, oh, my God, this is literally... God heard you,

Beth.

Honestly, it seems like it's too good to be true. My own personal cowboy, I love

countrymen, so we are a perfect match when we're made for each other, but

we'll see. It's just day one. I am not trying to be delusional, but I am liking

what I'm seeing so far.

I've been trying the city boy thing because I moved to Houston three years

ago. Me and city boys just don't seem to mesh well at all.

I like a man.

A grown ass man. The one that likes to handle business all the way around the

clock. You know what I'm saying? Not just financially. I like a provider and

all that stuff. But the money can come. But the free shit, that resonates with

me way more than a bill getting paid by a man.

I get that, you know, open door for ladies.

Yeah. They're the first ones in the elevator. Yeah, exactly.

Even when it comes to, like, walking down the sidewalk.

What side are you supposed to walk on? Side close to the street.

Come on now.

City men don't get it. They don't understand it. She's from the South, you

know. My mom's the same way, so it ain't nothing that I'm not used to. It

definitely feels great to be coupled up, spending the night with her. We

definitely vibe well together.

Here we are on the tropical island of Fiji.

where Austin and Shelley are about to demonstrate one of nature's greatest

battles, the human man versus the loaded question.

Okay, so question.

If we were in, like, different shoes, and it was like, guys, you choose two

girls to kiss, who would you have chose?

You and... What was the girl in the green dress?

Oh, Bella.

That's so crazy.

Yeah. Were you shocked when I came to you and kissed you?

Honestly, like, half and half. I just, I noticed we were playing some high tech.

Oh, okay. So, honestly, I felt like... Oh, so you knew. Okay, sure. I didn't

know. No, I didn't know. I didn't know. I had, like, I would say, like, a 30%,

maybe. That's gonna happen.

Okay. Yeah.

You speak Spanish?

I do.

See,

that's that. That's the... That's the clicks, you know what I mean? I feel

like... East Coast Spanish is, like, way different. I'm Cuban Spanish, so it

comes off very fast.

Yeah. Tell me about you. You have family? Sisters?

Brothers? Six siblings.

Yeah, I'm a big family man. That's good, though. I'm huge on family. Like, family

is so important to me. My brothers mean everything to me. I want a big family.

So that is the goal. Ace is definitely my type. I think he's a cool guy. He

makes me laugh.

And he has, like, true values.

You know, he says things that, like, a man would say. And so I resonate with

that a lot.

I was really glad you kissed me, but I can't believe you switched up and

didn't. I thought we had a good kiss, and I was like, oh, man. I'm glad it

worked out the way that it did. It did work out. I'm glad that... Austin,

he looks good. He's tall.

He has a nice body.

So far, so good. We just have to see where other things take us, you know?

But it's day one, so we'll see.

What's your middle name? I don't have a middle name. What?

What's your middle name?

Steve.

Steve? Yeah.

That's my grandpa's name. I like that. He was like, Steve.

Because I wasn't expecting a Steve. I was like Ace Ventura.

Nah.

I'm more of a personality-based person. So sitting there with Ulyssa got a

chance for me to get to know her, you know, on the inside. She's very family

-oriented, very outspoken. And even though I'm not feeling that, you know,

right away spark.

You know, hey, shit, I could leave out of here with Ulyssa. You never know. You

really never know. You got dimples?

I have one right here. Yeah, a little dimple. I peeped it.

But you have a dimple too.

Nick and Bella are having their first chat and Nick is doing a fantastic

impression of me drunkenly greeting my wife after I get home from the pub four

hours later than I promised.

How do you feel about sharing a bed?

Oh, man.

A little nervy.

Nervy? Have you ever slept with a guy?

I mean...

No, I'm definitely not the type to be in the clubs and to like go home with a

man. But I like there to be like a solid connection.

So this is definitely me putting myself out there. For sure. I mean, I knew with

the kiss on the cheek.

Oh, did your heart kind of drop when I... Yeah, no, it was beating like 300.

I'm dead, I'm dead. That didn't bother you though, that I didn't actually kiss

you?

No, not at all.

I'm praying I get a real kiss from Bella sooner rather than later.

The game plan is to talk to the other girls, get to know them.

But Bella's definitely like the front runner for me right now.

And I hope she feels the same way.

You're like a... Oh, wow.

I just want to hold my hand for a second.

I don't know, is that like too much?

I don't want to like jump the gun.

Dude, you want to hold my hand?

We're moving at, like, middle school pace.

I'm down to move at middle school pace.

Put the hand down, like... Wait, no, that doesn't feel right. Yeah, thank

you. I like that a lot more. Let's go a little closer.

This is good!

Look at us!

Kiss on the cheek!

Huda and Jeremiah are about to learn an important life lesson. There is only one

thing worse than interrupting a woman, and that's interrupting a woman to

celebrate how great your own question was.

So, um, why'd you pick me first?

Um, you're definitely... Oh, that's a great question. I didn't know that.

That's a great question. I didn't really hear this. Okay.

All right, bro. I'm back over here with it.

So, I'm listening, in the first case.

Why'd you choose me first? I picked you because you're definitely my type on

paper.

Like, to the teeth.

Yeah. Like, for sure.

100%. I don't like gas and men up, but you are. You don't like gas and men up?

It's crazy. You look good. No, you do. You do. Like, you're definitely my type,

for sure.

When I first walked in, I saw you, I said, oh, yeah, that's the one.

You're lying. I swear.

I know. You kept looking at me, too. Yeah, that's why I stood by you. You're

so cute. It was crazy. I'm not going to lie. It was mad chemistry.

Not to put too much pressure on her or weight on her in the beginning, but,

yeah, the more she talked, the more I was like, okay, I really like her. Like,

she's mad cool.

I'm not easy.

I love that. I'm bad.

I'm very clean and hygienic. My first red flag is bad hygiene.

That's what I'm... Yes.

Yes. I'm OCD as fuck, too. I like things really organized and clean.

Through me and Jeremiah's conversation, I realized how much we had in common and

stuff. It just made me like him so much more.

And we would just get along so, so well.

And so far.

Don't quote me on that.

But it was just like little cute young love vibes, and I haven't had that in a

while. I just hope, I just pray.

He's not a fuck boy.

That's so cute.

Stop. My fault, my fault. Oh my God. My fault.

Jermia, we got a team meeting.

What's that? I'm sorry to take your man from you, but we got a team meeting.

I'm going to hear about this later. Don't let me forget.

Bye.

I'll see you later.

Love you, bye.

Bye.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that.

Welcome back to Love Island USA.

What you're about to see is the Islanders' first impressions. And also

the tidiest the makeup room is ever gonna be.

Sorry in advance girlies, but my glitter eyeshadow gets everywhere.

It really was a plot twist when I see Ace walk in. I was like, no, how did,

hold on, debrief about that.

Yeah. Because how the fuck did you feel when you saw him?

We met, like, in January.

I was celebrating my friend's birthday, but we ended up, like, running into each

other. And then he was like, yo, come with me. And I was like, no, I'm not

coming with you.

Y'all ever hear about the invisible string theory? No, Scott!

You just told me that so far.

To see him today, I was like... And y'all shared y'all's first kiss. I love

that. No, he looked happy as fuck.

I feel like he's a little, like...

because of the whole situation. I wasn't trying to be messy. Like, this is

straightly on looks. Like, because I don't even go for people based on their

looks, but, like, this is the first impression. Right. He's actually very

nice. He's funny as fuck. Like, he plays around a lot. With Ace, I felt like I

got to do what I got to do. He's not closed off just to Shelly.

Everybody's here for the same thing. This is to get to know people on a soul

connection.

So how you feel? How you feel about getting the switch room?

My thing is, like, bro, like, she's cool, yo. Like, we was having a solid

conversation, yo. We just told each other, like, look, it's first date.

Like, we still open to getting new people.

I'm still open. I'm still exploring. I'm still getting to know certain people,

certain people I got to pull from conversations, you know what I mean? I

really want to get a chance to, like, get the full experience and really,

like, get to know somebody, you know what I mean? So I'm excited. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. What's with you, Mr. Closed-off? No, I ain't closed-off. I think it's

just, like, you never want to put all your eggs in one basket, but it's,

like... This is my favorite basket.

Yeah.

I really fuck with her, and she really fuck with me. So it's like... It's not

saying we're locked in. I'm just saying, like, we fucking with each other. It's

very mutual.

It's a win-win. You just be transparent. It's real simple. You just be

transparent. How do you feel about the kiss on the cheek?

I don't know about defense, but it was, you know, you were playing the game. So

when you play defense, what are you protecting?

Nah, it's weird.

Don't you don't do that. No, it's offense. It was points. It was a win-win

because I didn't want to get stolen.

You ain't protecting shit on offense. You trying to swear at anybody.

Look, I'm going to tell you like this. Why would I be like, so she can pick me?

The fuck? That's stupid as hell.

The guys are getting on me because they want to, you know, explore the options.

And me, I just, I got lucky. I got blessed that we were just literally

like.

instant fireworks.

And it's mutual.

It would've sucked if I felt this way and then she didn't.

This would be a whole different conversation, but it's mutual, so I'm

like, ah, I'm a geek. I feel like I won the lottery.

That's so glazed, but yeah.

I really do like him. So far, I really like him. You guys look good together.

We have so much in common, it's scary.

Everything we keep saying, we're like... And then we say something else, we're

like... I just want to make sure he's not just saying these things to, like,

get me.

Yeah, I get that. You know? Yeah.

I'm not the type of girl to be like, oh, my God, you think I'm pretty?

You think I...

No. So I'm excited to see, like, if he actually shows things through his

actions. I feel like we're all handling shit well.

Like, of course we're on Love Island.

I encourage every single one of you to explore every single connection. But

let's keep it real between all of us girlies.

Sisterhood means so much to me, so I think... y'all for being so nice, so

open minded, and just being a girl's girl. Y'all seem so genuine, I get that

it's night one, and I might be jumping the gun here, but what I've seen so far,

I love it. I agree.

It's the Islanders' first night in the bedroom, which means I've been

downgraded to the bloody sauna.

Madness at Peacock won't even stretch for a motel room.

Yeah.

You seem so smitten. I'm literally stoked for you. No, he's so sweet. I

just don't want it to be like, I don't know, like, you know when some guys,

when they move really fast, it's a red flag? Yeah. I'm just making sure I'm

being cautious.

How are you feeling about day one, man?

Fine, bro, fine.

You? Feeling good.

How do you feel about sharing a bed tonight?

Oh, I feel calm. Like, I like cuddling, but it's day one. Like, you know? I

might not swap saliva, but I'll cuddle up a little bit. Yeah, I might.

I might.

How was y'all conversation?

Ours was good.

I think it was good.

Why is he sitting like that all day?

It went cool, bro.

Yeah. We're going here. We're going to vibe for sure. Yeah. None of this

matters.

Dreaming of sadness.

sleeping. I swear.

What up, queen?

Hey. How you doing?

Good.

Good night, you beautiful people who I'm so blessed to be on this journey with.

Let's go.

And as

our first day in paradise draws to a

close, the couples are Ace and Alyssa.

Elandria and Taylor.

Austin and Shelley.

Bella and Nick.

And Jeremiah and Huda.

After

a

lovely night's sleep in the bedroom, Melissa and Bella are ready to get down

to business.

And after a terrible night's sleep in the sauna, I'm ready for some

moisturizer and an IV drip.

Good morning.

Morning!

You guys ready for the day?

Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it, let's get it, let's get it. Once you

know what my love's gonna feel like, nothing else will feel right.

This feels like summer camp and it's so fun because we're all adults.

I ain't never kissed that many girls in one day, bro. That shit was good.

Oh, yeah, but I get it wrong.

Okay, parkour.

Did anybody cuddle last night?

I didn't cuddle. You didn't?

It's only day one, so I like that he was very respectful.

That's so nice.

That's good.

How do I turn this on?

Closed off so early, so...

My order's coming up first course.

Does this shit look right?

Yeah. Does that look right? Bro, it's a dub in a dub. A win is a win. What's up,

man?

Oh, man.

Wow, peanut butter?

It was so disgusting, but I did that for you.

You hate peanut butter?

I hate peanut butter, so. Thank you.

Yeah, brother.

Leah Ulyssa likes Ace.

It's written all over her face. And it's clear Ace likes Ace because it's written

all over his back.

How are you feeling with him?

I like him.

Yeah, I like where things are going.

It's so weird to be talking to a guy.

Like I'm a scary girl, like a scary cat, like in my hometown. I would never be

like that. When a guy takes me on a date, I'll be like, oh my God, my

stomach hurts. I'll like bail.

or something like if i like if i'm into him i guess wait have you felt any of

those nerves with him yeah i mean like when we're talking i get very nervous

but like i have to step out of my comfort zone i'm coming here to have fun

i'm so the only like advice i give to all the girls is have fun i agree i

definitely need to like step out my comfort zone a little bit yeah a little

bit yeah i mean do whatever you're comfortable with always but I feel like

we should all have fun.

I feel like we're all here looking for possibly the love of our life.

So we need to fucking A, test them. And we need to go for it.

I'm curious, because you were the only one to get stolen last night.

Bruh, I didn't expect that. That shit was out the water. Did you expect me to

get stolen?

Honestly, she was looking at you like she was hungry.

She wanted to eat you, bruh. She was starving.

I like you, Alyssa. Her conversation is great.

I knew that you were, like, in a Shelly, so... Yeah.

Nah, I'm definitely in a Shelly. Like, I don't want to be that dude who's not

exploring.

How you feeling, man?

Mr. Big Night?

Bro, Big Night, bro. Lots of hand-touching.

She was crazy.

Hell yeah, man. Nah, bro, but, like, obviously, like, that first interaction

Hard brows like my heart beating out of my chest like just trying to make

conversation. Yeah, but at night Brad That's like when we really started like

cuddling and like she was touching my hand and at that moment That was when

cruising like but a Landry did get my attention at the coupling night She came

up to me with like energy that you know, maybe Bella didn't bring but that kiss

was intense

So far, like, okay, Ace is at the top of my list. Like, I wouldn't mind figuring

And if it is just a friendship, that's fine.

Welcome back to Love Island USA where Alandria's getting to know Cowboy

Taylor. Let's just hope she hasn't backed the wrong horse.

Saddle up guys, I have got hundreds of these.

I wish I could go fishing.

I don't even fish with live bait, I fish with chicken liver.

I do it all man, I'm a country man.

We have so much in common.

Okay, out of the Mexican food, what do you usually get?

Enchiladas. But that really ain't even-

consider, like, true Mexican food, you know that?

For real? Wait, you do enchiladas, too? Hell, yes. What I got?

You just doing that to, uh... Come on now, babe.

I ain't... We got enough in common. You just trying to, like... I ain't... No,

I'm not gonna capture you. Enchiladas, what I got? That is my go-to.

Chicken or beef?

Chicken. No, I'm beef. Really? Yeah.

What kind of fish them is?

Oh, shit. You can bait with them.

They so little.

Oh, I wish I had a reel.

Look at them little fishes.

I want to go fishing so bad.

Can you catch anything?

Babe, babe. Do you know what you're doing?

Babe, babe, you know who you're talking to?

I don't, actually.

Taylor is cool. Literally, everything I could have pictured in a guy, he

represents that. And it's almost like it's too good to be true. But I don't

want to leave with any regrets. I'm not leaving anything on the table. Ooh, it's

a gang of them. It's called a school, boy.

It's a school of fish.

Oh, look, Jeremiah and fitness coach Huda are working out.

Whether or not they like each other.

What? It's squishy. I brought Birkenstocks, too.

Yeah, my sister cooked me for bringing them. Really? Are you close to your

sister? Hella.

Really? I love my sisters.

I have so many.

Oh, shit.

It's zesty. Here, let's get comfy first.

You can cook, man. Let's just snuggle, and then we can talk.

That's one chicken. How you feeling? I'm good.

How you feeling?

Amazing. How's life?

Sensational.

Sensational.

Yeah. How you feeling about that since yesterday? I'm good. I want to just make

sure that you're being honest about how you are the person, and I just want to

make sure that you're, like, who you say you are through your actions.

Mm-hmm.

Everyone's saying, like, oh, like, don't put all your eggs in one basket on day

one. And I'm like, I hear you, but, like, I really like your type of shit. I

like you, too.

No, I like you a lot.

When Huda said, I really like you, I was cheesing. It's crazy, because I keep

telling her, like, bro, I usually like this, like, day two, day one. I don't

know if it's the environment, but it's like, yeah, I really like her off the

rip. So when she said it back, I knew it, but it's always good to hear, like,

okay, so we're on the same page, for sure. And I can just, like, enjoy it.

No, like I can I can't wait for like us to get to know each other more like I

can have like deeper Conversations with you.

I have so much depth to my story.

I could tell like a lot I can definitely tell cuz I'm 24.

I'll be 25 this year. We're the same at 2,000, right?

Yeah, we're both the same age. I'm 25.

Yeah, I'll be 25 in August.

I'm saying right now we're not the same age. I got four months on me. Calm the

fuck down.

I'm OG.

Ooh, no, I don't like that.

I'm unk.

Listen, if anything, I'm more mature than you. Chill. That's crazy.

Relax. I'm gonna always be a kid. One thing about me, I'm gonna laugh. Do you

live by yourself or with roommates?

Uh, I'm gonna have one roommate in August.

I got my own crib.

Yeah, you're in Raleigh. I'm in L.A. My own crib is like four racks. I know, L

.A. is expensive.

Mine is over three.

Damn.

Damn! Two bed, two bath.

You got two bed, two bath? Mm-hmm. What's your other bathroom?

Or bedroom for?

Office?

I'll tell you later.

What you mean?

Whoa, whoa, no, hold on. Time out.

What you mean?

Why are you looking at me like, don't look at me like that? No, because my

mind started going... We can talk about it later. We can talk about it later.

Okay, good.

I'm not even going to try to think what it is. It's not bad.

Okay. I didn't assume it was bad. Okay.

Just to play it safe.

I like knowing that a guy is, like, fully invested in me before I spill the

beans on me having a kid. I don't want to tell somebody something and they're

not even, like, all about me.

Let me help you up.

Hey. You want to kiss me? Mm-hmm.

Just wait.

I just said that. I literally am agreeing with you.

All right, that's on me.

You can put on mine.

I got you.

Professional Dancer Ace is coupled up with Ulyssa, but don't cha-cha Noah,

he's also in the market for a new partner. So he's waltzed over to Shelly

to disc over if there's any connection.

Well, it takes two to tango.

Can I play you for a sec?

Hm? Can I play you for a sec?

Of course.

I like this green.

Thank you, I'm getting compliments today.

Yeah, there's no problem.

How are you?

Shit, I've been waiting to talk to you.

Really? Yeah.

I've been just letting you do your little thing with your man and shit.

Okay, well, my man, my man, my man.

So how's that going?

It's going good. I like his energy, his vibe, so I have no complaints.

Yeah. So y'all are still open?

Yeah. What are the odds?

I know.

That's still crazy to me, but you know what? I think I slept on it, and I'm

like, you know what?

Crazy shit always happens in my life regardless. So it's like, I'm not

surprised. Like, I'm surprised, but I can't make sense of this. So I'm not

even going to try to make sense of it.

In that moment, it was just like, you know, I can't. I think it's fate that,

like, we here at the same time. Like, I can't put my finger on it. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Like, what are the odds?

I'm not going to lie. Like, I wasn't going to choose you at first to kiss

you. I really wasn't. Because I was like, I don't want to be biased.

What? I felt that.

I felt that energy that she wasn't going to pick me. I really wasn't. I promise.

My intention was to choose someone else. But then when it came down to it, I was

like, damn. In my gut, it was just like, ace.

So I was like,

all right. Because you felt comfortable.

Yeah. And I mean, it is comfortability, but also it is genuine.

Like, wow, I am attracted to you. I do want to get to know you. But I'm like,

damn, you got took.

Can I ask you something about that? What? Did you feel some type of way

about, like, the kiss and all that? It was just, like, I really wasn't upset,

though. I was just like, okay, this is the process. Like, this is what this is

about. Like, obviously, we're going to be attracted to similar people. Like, if

you want to kiss that man, kiss that man. If you want to do it again, go do

it again. Yeah, don't kiss my girl.

Don't kiss my girl. You said what? Don't kiss you.

I crashed out.

I crashed out about Shelly.

She, she, she's something else, you know what I mean? I ain't gonna put too much

on it, you know what I mean? Because I know when I put too much on it, things

don't happen like it's supposed to be. But, I don't know, I got a good feeling.

But, I mean, I do know, obviously, there's something.

Something there.

Something.

I don't know, maybe it could be minuscule. I don't know, but...

I am mindful of that. I don't want to pretend like, you know.

I feel the same.

Let's see what happens.

Just wait.

Okay.

Welcome

back

to Love Island USA.

For our islanders, it's our first evening getting ready in the villa.

And for me, it's my first evening watching people get ready in a villa.

My job's weird. I've got a law degree.

How you feeling about tonight?

Feeling straight, bro.

I ain't worried about nothing.

I really want to get bad bitch

tonight.

Like, if you walk with some confidence on you, like, you gotta have some,

like... I think there's an elephant in the room and a conversation that's gonna

need to be had to just kind of, like, okay, it's, like, what's going on, you

know?

Yes! What the fuck?

Yeah, you look good as fuck.

Why don't you see?

We're gonna throw a party!

I'm so excited.

You look amazing. Thank you, you too.

Austin is chatting to Shelly, and to ensure we've recorded every moment of

their conversation, we've sent in a state-of-the-art microscopic drone.

But they're very expensive, so please be careful, guys.

Oh, hell no! Wait, what, what, what?

Did you see it? Oh my gosh, not in here. Did you see it? I didn't see it. That

thing was huge.

It was.

Oh, my gosh.

You freak the fuck out. You don't fuck with bugs. No, I don't. Like, I like,

it's weird because, like, I like, because there's a bunch of, like,

lizards and frogs and, like, snakes and stuff in Florida.

And, like, I'm fine with all those. I ain't, no.

No?

Especially, like, I had this little baby frog. It was literally, like, just

formed. A tadpole.

But it wasn't a tadpole. It was, like, literally, like, just formed. And it

was, like, this big. I've never seen a frog that small.

And it was, like.

It was like a speck on my hand, like a little square on my hand. That is

actually insane.

It's so crazy because when I was younger, I was an outside girl. I was in

the trees and the grass. I was in the trees. No, I really was.

Like, I would literally take the tadpoles and, like, grow them to frogs.

Like, I would have them in my little thing, and then they'll form legs and

shit. I like how our conversation flows.

it feels like nothing is running out like we always have something to talk

about and we're not even 24 hours in and it's like we i already with him already

where i don't have the ache the fact that i used to do like that and now you

cannot pay me not a million bucks to go play with tadpoles and frogs and go be

in the forest omg ariana

is back which means there's gonna be twists drama

And I've got to cancel our dinner reservation.

No worries. We can just do it another time.

Better get your head in the game.

Take my hand.

Hey, Islanders.

Surprise.

You better strut.

All right, Islanders, follow me to the fire pit.

Uh-oh.

Take my hand.

Set free the devil inside.

How was the first 24 hours?

Amazing.

I need some more tea. What's been going on?

I feel like people are still kind of, like, walking on eggshells, kind of,

and, like, they're not showing their full potential. I feel like we could

crank up the heat a little bit and people could kind of, like, get out

there and kind of show their true colors.

Their true colors.

Yeah, I'm looking to see that, too.

You think people are playing it safe?

Hell yeah.

Yeah? Ooh, okay, split a team.

Well, Islanders, yesterday you all coupled up.

But now it's time to find out if you're really happy in those couples.

Because tonight, I thought I'd give you all a chance to make a play for the

person you maybe have a thing for, but haven't kissed yet.

Or maybe someone you kissed last night.

but didn't end up coupling up with and

even better than that to do it in secret

what say y'all get messy it feels good to be back for

you okay islanders follow me oh my gosh

No, I don't want these problems today. And here she comes with the problem.

I

don't

have her boundaries.

I lap up the anarchy.

Welcome back to Love Island USA.

Ariana's just told the islanders they can kiss whoever they want and no one's

going to find out.

Unless they've got a peacock subscription.

So first, I need you all to put on your blindfolds.

Yes, that means everyone and no peeking.

So now is your chance to explore a spark you haven't acted on yet.

You now have the opportunity to kiss someone outside of your couple.

And the best part, your identity will stay hidden.

So is there someone you didn't get a chance to kiss yesterday, but you really

wanted to?

Is there someone you kissed yesterday, but you didn't get to couple up with

them, but you want to go back for more?

Do you fancy starting a secret affair?

If you'd like to kiss an islander or islanders who you are not coupled up

with, go ahead and raise your hand now.

Well,

well, very interesting.

What happens next stays between you, me, and them.

And one word of advice.

Kiss quietly.

Islanders, you may lower your hands.

At first, I wasn't going to raise my hand, but then I was like, you know,

that's no fun. I obviously am interested in AIDS. So it's like, what the hell?

Why not? Like, what do I got to lose?

Nick, Shelly, Ace, and Alondra each raise their hands to kiss someone

they're not coupled up with. When Ariana taps them on the shoulder, they can get

up quietly and make their move. God, I love this show.

First up, it's Nick, who's currently coupled up with Bella.

I was

like, okay, who could

this possibly be? I had no idea.

It's somebody that has like a low beard.

So I'm just like picturing all the guys in my head.

I hate surprises.

Let me just see. Let me just see who it is.

Next

up

is Shelly, who is currently coupled with Austin.

Definitely felt familiar felt like I didn't had this kiss before

Next

up is Alandria who is coupled up with Taylor

we can play this little game and find out who you are and you know all truth

will come to the light

and

finally it's Ace who's coupled up with Ulyssa

I just have an inkling that Ace came to me.

If he came to me. But I also heard those same footsteps traveling like somewhere

this way. And I heard more kisses. So it was just like, there go them lips again.

Just loose. No, I'm kidding.

It's time to shake things up. Here comes two new bombshells and we've spared no

expense.

Literally, one of them is British. We had to pay a 10% tariff on it.

I'm Charlie, I'm 27, I'm from the UK and it's time to show these American boys

how it's done.

I'm tall, tanned, girls usually say I've got nice lips and they like kissing

them.

You might think the violence started already.

But now that I'm here, it's only just begun.

I'm Sierra, I'm 25, and I'm from Arizona.

I am the full package, brains, beauty, and boobs.

I don't care whose toes I have to step on. If I can take your man, he was never

your man in the first place.

Pucker up, boys, I'm coming through.

back to Love Island USA.

Two new bombshells entered the villa and no one saw it coming. Well apart from

Ariana who refused to wear the blindfold party pooper.

Turn the lights off in this place And it shines just

like a star And I swear I know the face

He kind of like grabbed my neck and I was like, oh damn I just don't know who

you are I felt like he was a little messy

I can feel it on my skin.

I can taste it on my tongue.

It's the sweetest taste of sin.

It's so hard to be blindfolded and all you're hearing is like, what is

happening right now?

What the fuck?

She's a 10 out of 10 kisser. I have no idea who it is. And this is like one of

the greatest nights of my life.

Islanders, you may now remove your blindfolds.

So how was that?

I mean, I was pretty hot over here.

It was interesting.

Interesting? I heard a lot of smooches.

I know. I'm like, where the fuck is that sound coming from?

Oh, you hear things.

You hear everything.

Definitely. So.

You've all had the chance to plant some sneaky kisses under the moonlight.

And I've got to say, we've got some juicy secrets going on in here.

If you got more than one kiss, do you know who it's from?

If you kissed someone outside of your couple, are you going to take it any

further?

For now, No one has to know if you kissed anyone.

Your secrets are safe with me.

But I will ask you this.

Who received a kiss? And if you did, please raise your hand.

Yes, you all got kissed.

And those final kisses you guys just received came courtesy of two

brand new bombshells. Now, just because

I love a plot twist, I'd like you guys to put those blindfolds back

on.

What? Let the games begin, everyone.

Have a think back to that last kiss.

If you enjoyed it and you'd like to get to know that bombshell better, raise

your hand now.

And what happens in the hideaway

Huge fucking red flag

we could all get a little messy
