Spring Union Day, everybody back together.

There's a lot of love in the air, but there's also a lot of miscommunication

and a little animosity.

I'm excited to see everybody.

A lot of people had a lot of opinions on the internet and, you know, they didn't

have those same opinions in the villa. You know, I'm looking forward to see

some accountability, some truth.

Like, let's stop faking and stuff.

Like, let's keep it real.

We want to grab our popcorn. I think it's going to be a movie.

It will be the first time I've seen Hedda since the middle.

I really don't know what's going to happen.

I'm just willing to just do whatever I can to give other people clarity.

I want to see my boy Chris.

You can expect a hurricane.

You can expect some drama, some messiness.

We got some shit to talk about, so we gonna get into it.

Let's get into it.

Hey, Andy.

Hey, Ariana.

You ready to stand on business?

Always.

Welcome to the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion.

I'm Ariana Maddox, and I'm ready to break down all of the twists and turns

that went down this summer in Fiji.

And joining me tonight is the one and only Andy Cohen.

Hey, Ariana.

This is exciting.

Thank you for having me. And might I say, you look gorgeous.

So do you, Andy. What a bombshell.

Thank you.

Do you want to recouple?

Yeah. The night is young. Sure is. Yeah.

Thank you, Andy. And I want you to meet our final four couples.

Yes. We have Amaya and Brian.

We have Huda and Chris, Alandria and Nick.

and Iris and Pepe.

It is so great to meet you all after being obsessed with you all summer. This

is really surreal for me, actually. Right? Yes.

Starstruck? Yes, I am.

Me too, actually.

All right, well, first of all, I want to say hello to our winners, Amaya and

Brian. Hi. What's going on?

Hi. How are you guys feeling today?

I'm feeling great. Yeah. Happy to be here.

Did you miss being in the villa with these guys?

Uh, I would have to say so. I have a bit of separation anxiety. Like, not waking

up next to 20 people anymore is kind of like... Hi, Iris and Pepe.

I gotta say, you two look great together.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Alandria and Nick, how are you guys doing?

We're good.

I have to ask, do you prefer...

Nicolandria or Freak-o-Nico?

Freak-o-Nico!

I was gonna say surprise me, but okay, Freak-o-Nico it is. Freak-o-Nico it is,

okay. Hi, Hoda.

Hi. You are serving Mamacita tonight. Thank you. Yes. I appreciate it.

How do you feel about tonight?

I feel fine. I'm good. I'm coming in here with good vibes. So, like, I have

all positive vibes in here.

Good. Yeah. Hi, Chris.

Yo. Looking handsome as ever, like the fit. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank

you. How are you doing today?

Sensational. How has it been for all of you guys getting to know each other

outside of the villa?

It's been great.

It's been great, yeah. Our friendship's just been growing, and I feel like we

all, like, experience a universal experience together.

So we relate on that, and we just, like, grow from there.

And we were all together in a house for a week after the villa, so, like, we all

got to experience each other.

Nice. We snuggled.

We snuggled a lot.

Oh, wait.

This is what's going on out there right now?

Wow. Okay, Andy.

Look at that final four.

You look good.

Well, we have a lot to get through, so let's get right into it.

From day one drama to final four fireworks, their journey's been nothing

short of a ride.

Here's how they made it all the way to the finish line.

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

and your identity will stay hidden. Which islander do you think, other than

your partner, is the best kisser? Oh!

Ohlandria.

Ohlandria! I do enjoy kissing her. I think she's super sexy, to say the

least.

Ohlandria, you have not been picked to be in a couple.

Nick, you have 30 minutes to pack your bags and say your goodbyes.

Quick, hurry up, get in. Come on, hurry.

Fuck, what are you doing?

You can couple up and return to the villa together.

I think there's only one right answer.

Let's go to the fucking villa. We're going to the villa, baby. What the fuck?

We always have chemistry during every challenge. I'm trying to see if there's

anything outside of the challenges.

Ooh, I didn't see this yet. Oh.

I chose my bombshell sister coming in here to get into the ball pit with.

Honestly Pepe is hot.

I don't know why but like in my head like I had you like in a box like you

know Yeah, exactly Any girl who lives in North Carolina kiss a boy

who lives in California

Where that come from?

Like, you might be on the radar now, girl.

Oh, we have another brand new couple.

Like, I'm really, really happy.

What? Let me kiss.

Right now?

Yeah.

Wow.

I'm not ready to kiss in front of people.

We're not seeing eye to eye.

When you saying, babe, can I grab this for you? Babe, can I do this? It's just

a matter of meeting people at that middle ground. One thing I got to add,

though, coming from an Hispanic household, that's just how we talk.

You're telling her meet you halfway? You gotta meet her halfway too. Don't let

the shit that was said change you. Yeah. Because someone like me loves that type

of shit.

He is flirtatious, I'm flirtatious, and then boom.

It just blossoms into something beautiful, you know?

I'm getting excited for us. I feel like we have something great growing.

Two misunderstood people understanding each other.

Right.

I

don't play

with my sleep.

I think we should have seen problems.

Do you want to carry me on the walk?

I'm not going to carry you.

Like I never would have guessed in a million years that like I would be

ending it with you I'm really glad that I am We

have like this happy ending and we're like now can ride off into the sunset

I Want to make stuff exclusive with us prioritize us I want to continue taking

the right steps with you and attacking the outside world with you

The winners of Love Island USA 2025 are

Amaya and Bryce!

Amaya's got the zoomies!

So Amaya, you live in New York. Yes. Brian, you live in Boston. How are you

making this long-distance thing work?

It's honestly really easy. Yeah. It's a 35-minute flight, a three-hour drive.

So she came over, met my two best friends, my mom, my dad. Yeah. My mom

loved Amaya. Oh, my God. She shed a tear when she left. Yeah. I was like, wow.

She's a successful gangster, too.

Yeah. We both started crying, and Brian was like, what did I just walk into? And

I was like, babe, happy tears.

So since leaving the villa, there's been a lot of speculation about where the two

of you are, where your relationship is.

Brian, there was a video that sparked a lot of rumors about you cheating,

partying with other girls.

We know the internet had a lot of opinions, but walk us through what's

been going on.

They're trying to just... throw any hate my way in within the cheating video.

The hosting, I got paid to be there. I used to bartend back in the day. I had a

lapse of judgment, and we've talked about it, and yeah. The lapse in

judgment was what?

Pouring shots around, giving the crowd shots and stuff like that.

Yeah. Yeah, we definitely spoke about it, and I'm also not a woman that would

be with someone who doesn't respect me, so if I'm with him and still with him,

it's clearly because of the relationship.

dynamic is healthy and great.

Chris, you and Zach C were out with Brian on the night of the alleged

cheating. What are your thoughts?

I didn't see shit.

Ain't shit happening.

Were you there for Brian in that moment during the aftermath?

Yeah, I just told him, just keep being you, bro. Like, don't worry about that

shit. Internet is its own world. Like, we can't control what people put or what

people say, so.

Yeah. But as long as we know the truth, it's straight.

Alan pulls his pinky toe for like one day and people was like, what happened?

He cheated on her.

I'm like, I swear like that's not the case whatsoever.

But we just prioritize our relationship and we're kind of like tunnel vision

with it. You know, like I'm very confident in our connection and I feel

like you are too. Yeah. The comfortability is definitely there and

we're just growing.

Yeah. Pepe, you've told fans that since leaving the villa, the two of you are

exclusive. Congratulations.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Have you had conversations about taking the next step?

We've had conversations about what dating looks like to one another.

And it looks very different.

Not very different. Not very different, but it's, yeah, you know, I see dating

as like...

Once you're exclusive with someone then it's like are you pretty much boyfriend

or girlfriend and iris looks it is I think you have to ask someone to be your

girlfriend, you know You have to date and from dating you see how it goes and

then you ask I think there's steps, you know Well, do you want to be his

girlfriend?

I mean, I yeah, I I feel like we're we're going in a good direction.

Yeah, I think that's the whole point is trying to date as if we would have

normally dated before getting on the show, which obviously is very different

now because we're well-known, so everybody is kind of expecting and is

looking at our relationship with, like, a magnifying glass.

So, Iris, right after you left the villa, you were filmed by TMZ meeting up

with TJ. Yeah. And fans immediately were speculating that the two of you were

getting back together.

Yeah. But then I know you also said in an interview that you actually wanted to

have a face-to-face conversation with him for closure.

Yeah. Tell me about the tenor of that conversation.

It was something that I was very emotional about when he went home.

And I think I just wanted to tell him that what I felt was, it wasn't fake, it

wasn't for show, it wasn't for TV. These are my genuine feelings toward you. And

I told him, I do have a strong connection with Pepe, and Pepe's where

my heart's at, you know?

You felt like you got closure from it? Yeah, definitely.

Like, I'm happy for them, and, you know, it was something we both needed to do

for both of us to move on, so it is what it is, and the time in the villa was

great, but, you know, things moved forward.

Pepe, on that note, have you talked to Hannah since leaving the villa?

I have, yeah. We got to just get a little phone calling. And yeah, I was

just having a good conversation, just catching up, making sure that we were

good, seeing how she was feeling with everything.

At the end of the day, we all went through this crazy experience together.

It was great. It was a fun time. There was highs and lows. But as long as we

can all come out of it as friends and just say, like, hey, everything's good.

We should all be happy for each other. Like, there shouldn't be a reason why

somebody should be mad at.

one person over another, you know? And Hannah, of course, will be out later as

well to talk about her experience.

How cool that you're all getting to live these fantasies.

Well, final four couple Huda and Chris had one whirlwind ride, but

after their fiery final date...

The relationship went up in flames, and I got to talk to the two of you about

that final date, because what an awkward moment it was when that woman came out

and sang Moon River as the two of you were kind of breaking up, basically.

What was going through your mind when she came out?

I thought it was my sister.

I'm not going to lie. When I saw it, because I can't see that far. I was

like, is that my sister?

And then I seen her walk down, I was like, it's not my sister. It's not her,

but I mean she did her thing. She did great Well, it's obviously still semi

awkward between the two of you. You're seated apart from each other How is it

seeing each other?

Fine, I mean weird

I'm fine

very weird on my end very weird. Yeah, just weird

Chris, I'm so curious. How does your mom feel about Huda now?

I'll just say she's happy with how things played out.

Huda, I also heard you say in the press that Chris had kind of a running

commentary going on the other women and that he had a wandering eye when you

were together.

What do you mean by that?

Honestly, I'm not angry about it. It's just like, we just weren't a good match.

It's okay.

Y'all aren't making me laugh.

Chris,

how do you feel about what Huda has said in the press about you since leaving the

villa? I don't respect it at all.

You guys broke up in the finale, but should I ask where do you stand now? Are

you guys friends at all? Do you think you would be friends?

No. No.

And why is that, Chris?

I just didn't respect.

the way she handled herself on that interview and the things she said.

And, you know, even since then, she's had a month to like apologize and like

talk to me about it. But she waited kind of until like two or three days before

today to try to reach out. And I just kind of took that as like a, I know why

you're doing it. So I just can't, like I said, I can't respect it.

So. What happened on that call?

She said, well, I hope we can be good. And I said, I don't feel the same way.

You know, I just don't, I don't want that in my life. And I don't allow

people that talk about me like that in my life. So yeah, just keep it rolling.

You know, I called him and I expressed, cause it was, it was weighing heavy on

my mind.

And I had started seeing more and more of the like hatred towards Chris on my

For You page.

And I was like, I need to address this to him. I just called him. I was like,

listen, I just want to let you know, like you don't have to like me at all.

But I just wanted to let you know, like, I'm truly grateful that you were there

for me in the villa.

And I just wanted to express that to you and let you know that I'm grateful.

And if there's anything that, like, you know, I've done, like, I just want to

personally apologize.

Because I just didn't agree with the hate that he was getting. I felt awful

about it. And Chris, do you think that at any point in the future that you guys

could reconcile, that you could forgive her and you guys could become friends?

Friends, no, but I'm very forgiving. So I'll forgive for sure, but friends not.

Hoda, you left the villa single, but we've seen you out and about.

What's your dating situation been like?

I can't speak about my relationships outside the villa.

Okay. And why is that?

Legal reasons.

Legal reasons?

I'm not allowed to speak. It's Netflix.

I'm not allowed to talk about it.

Netflix won't let you say whether you're dating somebody?

Not supposed to talk about it, unfortunately.

I'm sorry.

You were, like, on a red carpet, I think, with someone.

Was that someone that you're seeing?

I'm not allowed to speak on it. I'm so sorry.

Okay. Tell Netflix this was the number one streaming show of the summer. I

apologize. I really am sorry. All right. I didn't know she was dating.

I'm a doomed girl. I see everything.

What did you see?

Yeah, you feel like public appearances. Yeah, okay Well second

place couple Alandria and Nick kept us on our toes all season toes

emphasis on the toes Alandria

Nick I know everyone's dying to know, myself included.

What is your relationship status at the moment?

There's been like a lot of pressure and like up to this moment.

I know people are expecting us to be like labeled by now. And I also see

comments. It's like, she better come like pregnant and married to the

reunion. We're like, we're like, damn, hold up. Wait a minute.

I mean, we've always been believers in like taking our time with things and

like not trying to.

pressure like let outside pressure dictate our relationship and um i mean

we're going on trips together like going on we have future dates planned yeah

knocking some things off of the list knocking a lot of things off the list

yeah the list what's on the list skydiving yeah like crazy things that

i've always wanted to do he wants to take me to experience those things yeah

like wow yeah whatever she wants like i want to make sure it happens like we're

completing all yeah

Well, what do you have to say to haters who say that this is fake?

Honestly, I call them my second fan base, because, like, they're obsessed.

Nicolandria is already a huge fan base, but, oh, my goodness, the other fan

bases as well? It's like, ugh.

You love me. Thank you. Let your haters be your motivators. Exactly. They hate

us because they ain't us. Yeah, that's right.

They're just confused fans.

Exactly. Do y'all think they're real? Okay, focus on your couple. Come on.

Yeah.

Agreed. Well, Ciara won't be joining us tonight as she did leave the show, but

we do want to acknowledge that she was a big part of your journey in the villa.

In fact, on Instagram, we got a question from Charlotte who wanted to ask Nick

and Alandria, have either of you seen or talked to Ciara since leaving the villa?

Charlotte, I have not.

And I don't plan on it either.

Leaving the villa, I wanted to speak to her after I processed all those things

coming out the first week.

And then she started making these videos.

The first thing was like, she was in Greece and there was this caption and it

was like, when you thought it was real, but now your friend is dating him or

something. And then every time she would do something like that, I'm like, okay.

I feel like she was low-key, like, prioritizing some attention through

those videos rather than, like, wanting to fix anything, if there was anything

to fix.

Well, meeting you and seeing you now, it's clear that things worked out

exactly as they were meant to.

So I got to know, Alandria, was it worth the wait?

With Nick? Yeah. Like, the whole coupling up at the end? The journey. The

journey. Oh, the journey journey.

Whoa They call me big Belgian for a reason

Wow Yes,

I'll just wait wait nice Nice Okay, we're gonna take

a break and we'll be right back with the Love Island USA season 7 reunion in just

a moment

Does she look good as fuck today? No, she does.

I know.

My Botox isn't allowing me to do it. Your Botox? Wait, you got Botox? Hell

yeah. I'm done.

Welcome back to the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion.

Now we want to bring out some more Islanders. Please welcome our Southern

Belle Clark.

our resident cowboy taylor and our slow burn stunners shelly

and ace

let's

get this

Taylor, you're looking very dapper. How are you feeling seeing everyone?

Bro, I ain't seen so many people since I left, so it just feels good to see

everybody. Clark looks amazing.

She looks so good.

Clark, you look so beautiful. What inspired your outfit tonight?

I just wanted to give Queen energy, you know?

Nice. I think you succeeded.

Thank you.

Shelly and Ace, it's so great to meet both of you. I want to bring up what...

some fans have been calling the curse of going exclusive.

Because right when you two couples got serious, America swooped in and voted

you off the damn show.

What did you make of that?

I think they missed the plot of what Love Island was supposed to be about.

It was more so, I mean, it's called Love Island, you know? I feel like this

season it was more based on favorites of individually.

It's a system you designed.

I mean, of course, I don't think anybody deserved to go home. Nobody wanted to go

home. But at least we were able to, like, make things exclusive and be

locked in with each other before we left. And then we left together.

Yeah, Clark, we saw you made it to Oklahoma.

A couple times.

What is it like being in Taylor's world out there?

Um, it's different, but it's not... It wasn't hard for me to, like, adapt and

fit in, like, with his family.

Yeah, I rode a horse by myself.

No saddle on that girl.

People did not see that coming.

Well, it was a huge moment when Alandria and Nick made their surprise return to

the villa as a couple. Taylor, a lot of fans wanted to know, were you really

torn at that point between Alandria and Clark?

I really was, yeah. You really were?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, Andrea, do you believe that he was as torn up as he says?

Um, at the time, yes.

But obviously, like, getting out and seeing it, this is, like, make you

question. Did something happen when you got out of the villa to make you think

that he wasn't?

Um, I just heard certain conversations. The whole not being physically attracted

to me within the first few days, it's like... You know, I would never want

somebody to learn to grow to like me or grow to be physically attracted to me.

That gives desperation.

I was never desperate.

So to see that I'm just looking like this girl that's chasing after this guy

that does not find me desirable, it's like, that is never the fucking case.

You get what I'm saying? And I'm thinking in the villa, like, oh, he

respects my wishes of me being a slow burner. That's why it hasn't gotten

there yet. And getting out of the villa is like, okay, it didn't happen because

he wasn't, it wasn't there at all.

So, yeah, that was shocking to me. You were blasted for your vote when, really,

the reality is we knew he was never really into her.

Yeah. It was a valid vote, mate. Was that something you considered discussing

with her?

Yes, but, I mean, at the same time, I did give it a try, work on it, let it

grow. Nick, is it weird hanging out with Taylor now that you're dating his ex?

Okay, ex, all right.

Ex is crazy.

Right. No, I mean, Taylor and I have been best friends since day one.

I visited his family this past weekend and went to a rodeo.

Things are completely, like, as if I were not dating his ex.

Taylor, do you feel like maybe you owe Alandria an apology for not being honest

with her about your feelings?

Yeah, all you know is waiting for the right time.

You know, this is the right time in front of everybody, you know, the way it

started, you know. So I do want to say, you know, I'm sorry for everything.

You know, we grew so close, you know, so fast.

He was my dog in there. He would laugh at everything, and he's still my dog.

Do we clap?

Yes.

All right, I want to move on to Shelly and Ace.

Okay, so let's clear this up once and for all, for all these conspiracy

theorists out there. Tell us again, two of you met when and how much were you

talking after that?

Oh, shit, they're digging deep. They're not playing. They want the truth. That's

it.

In New York, I met her.

I thought she was attractive.

I pulled up on her and say, yo, what's the word? Where you from? All that.

Got to know her as in, you know, through social media exchanges for what?

Maybe what?

I see her posts. The comments are all over the place. So like here and there,

but that's where her stock was on social media. It wasn't like. Ace, some eagle

-eyed. Love Island fans noticed that you had consistently liked and commented on

Shelly's Instagram post dating back to July of 2022, which would suggest

that it was a more substantial connection than just a casual

interaction outside a club.

How do you respond?

So I comment and show love to everybody who I'm going through. It just so

happened we on the show. So of course there's an eagle eye on this situation,

but yeah, I'm quick to drop a fire emoji or eyes emoji or heart emoji, you know,

something like that. I'm not ashamed of it. I do want to say though, the date

has to be wrong though, because we literally met last year. So 2022, like I

didn't know any A's. I don't think he knew me.

Maybe he went back.

and light some of her old posts. Is that possible, Amy? That could be possible.

Now, fans have also speculated, this is a big one, that the two of you

coordinated your participation in the show in order to form... a powerful

pairing from day one.

Yes. You would have to be great actors to do that also. We told production,

actually, that, like, hey, we want to be on there. We have this great idea for

you guys to sell the show. Went through ten interviews and perfectly lined up

our answers to finally get on the show. Forget the 500,000 people that applied

for the show. Like, bring us on. I'd be like, give them $10 million, because

that would be impressive. That's what I'm saying.

What did the rest of you think about these rumors? when they were popping up

online. Fake news.

Fake news. Fake news.

Right. So why do you think America ranked you low as individuals and as a

couple in the Burst Your Bubble challenge?

I mean, when I was in the villa, I was so confused. Like, hmm, what are you

guys seeing?

I think the pivotal point of everything was the heart rate challenge and the

stand-on business challenge.

From there, that's when I was called the mean girl or I was, you know, crashing

out and not making sense of wanting to live the best of both worlds and this

and that. So I think that's something that, again, people seen and just took

that and ran with it.

I definitely feel like they got it wrong.

He wasn't a villain, and Shelly damn sure wasn't no fucking mean girl.

So I really don't, I really hate the type of hate that they've both been

getting, because they were awesome people.

I wouldn't surround myself with some phony ass people, and they're the

realest for sure.

I think it says something that all of your fellow islanders placed you. The

people who know you placed you where they placed you. And that's what

mattered to me. Exactly.

When you guys left the villa, you were exclusive.

So where do you guys stand on your relationship?

I mean, we're still exclusive.

He's big on doing romantic gestures, and I love stuff like that. So just waiting

for the perfect moment to be official and be like... Do you have something

planned? I got something cooking up my sleeves or something. Oh, wow.

Yeah. This would be your first girlfriend, right? Yeah.

And is Shelly the first girl you... And last, too.

What? And last? Aww. I know that's great.

Are you in love with Shelly?

I am.

Do you love me, Jeremiah?

I love you.

Okay, we're going to take a break. More to come with the Love Island USA Season

7 Reunion.

Oh my gosh, it's crazy.

I love a couch.

Fuck, was that all filmed? Fuck's sake.

Wow. Oh my gosh, so many people.

Welcome back to the Love Island USA Season 7 Reunion. I'm Ariana Maddox here

with Andy Cohen.

Right now, we're going to fast forward to a part of the season that changed

everything. Casa Amor.

First, I want to say hi to OG Austin and Bombshell's Andrena and TJ.

We're so happy to be here. Thank you, Ariana.

Austin, I don't know how I've been able to get up and down stairs without you

this whole time.

I don't know how you have either. I thought you were just sitting at the

bottom of some stairs just waiting this whole entire time.

Austin, you were in the villa from day one.

The real bombshell for me was your body count.

I have to assume that it's gone way up since you got out of the villa. It's

gone down. What? It's gone down since being out of the villa, yeah. Really?

I've subtracted a few off of it, yes, yes.

How do you subtract people from your body count? I just forget about them.

Okay. I just forget about them.

All right.

Are you currently single?

Yes, I am. I am currently single.

All right, well, we're going to get into you and Jaden later.

Hi, Andrena. Hi, TJ.

You guys came in as bombshells together.

How are you guys feeling being back?

I think it feels great, and I'm happy to be back and seeing everybody.

It feels like family.

What about you, TJ?

Yeah, I'm super excited just to see everybody all together once again.

It just feels like home, and just super happy to see everybody.

And now let's welcome everyone else that was part of Casa Amor.

Jaden, Grayson, Vanna, Coco, Elan, JD, and Zach C.

And Zach K. is joining us remotely.

Yo, can y'all see me, yeah? Yeah!

Yo, yo, clap it up, clap it up, clap it up!

Elan, you're a man of many hairstyles.

I didn't see this one coming. What was your inspo tonight?

Tonight, I think I rocked a look kind of like this. Usually the curl is a lot

less intentional.

Okay.

Yeah. All right.

Coco, you said in an interview recently you felt that some of the girls gave

standoffish vibes.

What did you mean by that?

Well, the Casa girls, it was good.

But I think, like, in the beginning, Alandria was a little standoffish,

especially when Alandria kind of made her return.

I could tell she was, like, upset that her girls were not there. Like, she was

not feeling that shit, which is understandable.

Alandria, what's your reaction to this?

I was standoffish. I'm not finna come in being fake and trying to purposely be

besties with these girls that I don't know. I'm going to be nice. I'm going to

be cordial, but it's like, I don't know you guys. And then I just got fake

dumped. Coming back and saying Taylor with somebody else. I had so many

fucking emotions going on. I had no time to process nothing.

So that's why I was standoffish.

So y'all were together last night, I hear.

And JD asked if you wanted to speak to Coco and you said, I'm cool. I'm cool.

Yes.

What was that about? Um, so I liked Coco when we was in the villa. It's just how

people are acting outside of the villa I'm just not fucking with.

She was on a podcast and was saying that I was saying Taylor was my man, my man,

my man. I barely even spoke to these damn girls. She's even telling you,

like, oh, I was coming to a manger because she was so standoffish. So when

the hell did I say my man, my man, my man around any of you guys?

Clark, do you remember me saying that?

Never. Jaden?

Grayson? Never. Vanna?

When I said, my man, my man, that was not me being shady.

That was not me trying to come for you.

So I never wanted to make you feel that way. When I said that, that was me

saying, like, I thought y'all was locked in, like, for real.

So when I saw that he picked Clark over you, I was shook.

I thought y'all was that locked in.

You were saying, my man, like, you were calling him your man. Like, you had took

a picture. You kissed it. And it was cute as fuck. I'm not coming for you.

And even in that podcast, when she said that delusional statement, I was not

fucking with that.

I would never, ever try to do you. Like, I mean that. That was not me being

shady. I'm too 100 for that.

Right. But my thing is, if you're going to go on a podcast, speak to your true

experience. I would have appreciated if you would have spoke on my character

that you got to see in person, not what America got to see.

You got out way before us. You could have cleared that up. You know what?

Alayndra wasn't as delusional as y'all might say she was. She was actually cool

as fuck. You could have spoke to my true character because you got to meet me in

person. These people never met me before.

On the podcast, I said you were cool as fuck, and I even said I think Nick

really likes you.

It seemed like you were saying she was feeding into their narrative of her

being delusional.

That's the thing, and I hate that it was interpreted that way, so I want to say

again, I apologize if you interpret it that way, and I hate that the world even

interpreted it that way. It doesn't help, though, that there was...

like screenshots of you hearting certain comments about Alandria and I too. So

it's like, you know, you're saying this, but then also when you were, when they

were saying stuff like, oh, Shelly and Alandria need to leave our villa or this

or that, or Coco should have still been there and stuff like that. Like to see

that you were liking stuff that was, cause there was a big hate train on

Alandria and I, which a lot of people played a narrative into by saying just

certain comments that show that there's some agreement.

There's a few people who played into the hate train. And we're still getting a

lot of hate to this fucking day. Yeah, people in here that played into it.

Who? Coco, with your comments. Baby, do you... I never felt that way. That's not

even... No, I want to talk. Okay. I'm team chocolate girls. I'm never shady. I

was nothing but nice to y'all from the beginning. I was happy for you. Also, I

DM'd you, Alandria.

Yeah, I read it. I wasn't fucking with it.

Yeah, that's the thing, though, baby. I'm trying to squash it because I'm

trying to let you know my true intention. Well, my thing is, Coco, you

go on live in front of... When you go in front of the world and talk your piece,

I'm going to do the same thing.

Don't clear things up in private. We're going to do this in public like you did.

But I was never trying to shade you.

Because I'm not that kind of girl. Who else was perpetrating the narrative that

you two are mean girls?

Vanna, when you went on NickVille and said that I was someone who was

standoffish and that the only person who was nice to you. I brought up, like,

were any of the girls standoffish? And I was like, well, I didn't even, I said I

didn't even talk to you. And it's like, we didn't even get to speak. Like, we

didn't even have time to. People ask me about that on my live. And I was like,

she, Kate, like, I didn't go speak to her either. She owes me, like, literally

nothing. And we had five seconds to say bye. But I cleared that up on my live.

They don't show the.

the good stuff, you know, like they show like the pot stirring stuff, but I did

go on and I was like, that was not what it looked like.

I feel like... Huda's another person.

She played into the bully narrative. I don't feel like Huda was bullied. We

were very close. I was kind of taken back when Huda went on the podcast. She

kind of played into the bullying narrative that America already had

stirred up. And it's like, Huda, you was there.

We're going to get into that in a little bit. And I'm anxious to hear what you

have to say.

Everybody didn't mean what they did.

I get it. I get it for sure.

Felt like the whole fucking villa was against me and Shelly. That's how it

felt. Zach K., a lot of people want to know if you have anything to say to

Amaya about the ups and downs you two experienced.

A lot of viewers felt like you doubled down on Amaya only after seeing how

popular she had become with the viewers.

What's your response to that?

First of all, I just want to apologize Amaya during that challenge.

um like i said i shouldn't have like stood up on business and you know did

what i did so i want to apologize after that but when i found out that she was

america's most popular that didn't make a difference to what the situation was

Amaya, do you think he changed his tune because he found out that you were

popular with America?

Um, thank you for apologizing. Thank you. Um, I do think that there was a bit

shift of energy after finding out that I was America's, like, favorite, I guess.

Um, he did, like, try to put in more of an effort to have a conversation with

me. So obviously, that being said, I said, after that, um, that challenge

thing, me and you, we sat on that swing, if you can recall.

We were just talking, we was doing whatever, whatever.

I felt like there was a genuine connection between us two. We've had the

ups and downs like a normal relationship do. People argue, people fall out or

whatever. I'm here now. I'm going to try and make it work with her. And then

that's what I did.

Zach, I'm curious what you think of Amaya and Brian ending up together.

You've said some pretty incendiary things on your TikTok live about him

specifically. What was said? Just recall for me. He said I did it for the money.

Oh, he said you did it for the money?

Yeah. Nah, I never said that. You never said that?

Nah, nah, nah, nah. I never said that, bro. Yeah, you should probably go check

up on that. He said it wasn't genuine and he feels I did it for the money, but

I think he forgot a certain conversation that me and the Casa Boys had.

He was the one trying to dissect the game and strategize it. Now I'm the one

who said, just be appreciative, be here and go off your feelings.

I remember we were dying for chats.

He came out and said, I don't even want no chats. I want to chill with the boys.

If he was really genuine with Amaya, he would have been crying for a chat.

Instead, he didn't and got dumped for that. Yeah.

You will only have conversations with people when it was time to have a chat.

It could be very performative at times, because once you knew the cameras were

on, that's when it was time to have this whole Grammy Award-winning actor scene

for you. Like, let's be very for real. OK.

Final words on the matter?

Nah, we can move on. They both look good together.

I hope, you know, they stay together and nothing more.

All right. Okay, great.

Thanks, guys.

Austin, Jaden, you guys got together during Casa, and I know you guys left

the villa as a couple, but where do things stand now?

Austin can take that one.

I mean, we left the villa as a couple. We were, uh...

An error message.

Come on, bro.

I'm finding it. You got it.

Um... Yeah, like, I don't know. Like, I don't know exactly what transpired.

Did you have a fight?

No, no, no.

Did you just lose interest in each other?

Jaden.

Jaden, I feel like you have some things to say.

I mean, I feel like I expect respect and transparency with

all of my relationships.

And I was happy to leave with you as a couple.

And I do feel like I was blindsided in a way because

I did send you a message saying, like, if you were planning on dating or

hooking up with other people, if you could just let me know. But I didn't

care if you did.

I was like, you could do whatever you want. Just, like, give me the respect of

letting me know that.

And then you didn't.

And I feel like we put our lives out here. Well, I don't think I replied.

So I don't think it's like I didn't like... Did you read it? That's even

worse. Did you read what she said?

Honestly, I can't think of it off-rep. You know, we spoke about it in person as

well. We did talk about it in person. Because, by the way, that's a huge thing

that she said. Basically, you can sleep with other people. Just let me know and

don't embarrass me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you didn't do that.

I mean, that's like kind of true.

He'll bounce back. He'll bounce back So the first time

We saw each other after leaving the island.

I went to a house party and when I showed up I was basically like bombarded

by girls

letting me know that you had just came back from a date. And I was like, no,

please let me finish. Go ahead. And I was like, okay, cool. I was like, I wish

she would have told me first and not the whole house. Cause that was like, that

is an example of you making me look dumb.

And then you literally looked at me and you lied to me and you were like.

I did not just go on a date. Oh, I did not say that. Yes, you did.

I want to ask something, because I was there, too. So I saw how you were

moving, Austin, and I saw the text messages, and you did actually respond.

When she asked you, what's happening, just be transparent, I was there when

she sent the message, and you responded, I actually like you, I want to see

things through with you, da-da-da-da, and saying that you were going to

respect her, and I don't think you did.

I didn't say that I was going to see things through. I mean, like, we're

dating in the villa, and dating in the villa is dating multiple people.

So, like, dating on the outside, I can still want to get to know you and go on

a date with someone else.

I think she's just asking that you would be honest with her before doing stuff.

Yeah, but I wasn't, like, not honest with you. Jaden, do you think he was

being honest with you?

No. I'm sorry I wasn't transparent with you when I came out telling you, hey, I

want to go on a date with this person and that person. I should have been more

upfront with you. Well, I mean, three days before that on After Sun, you're

like, yeah, I'm going to take her on a yacht.

Well, I still did want to take you on a date.

Okay. Well, that ship has sailed on the yacht.

That you never took me. No.

And stand by the floor. Three, two, one, go!

We are back with the Love Island USA season seven reunion.

Pepe. Yes. During the stand on business challenge, no one admitted to writing

the question asking you about not truly liking Grayson.

How did you react to watching this when you saw the show?

Pepe, ever since Hannah left, have you been playing it safe until you leave the

villa? We know that you don't like Grayson as much as you liked Hannah,

from question.

Who wrote it? Literally, who wrote that?

Who wrote that?

I don't know who the fuck wrote that, but, like, that was horrible, and I

don't agree with that whatsoever.

That was not a nice comment, and to whoever fucking made that comment, it's

literally such a pussy for not fucking saying shit.

Seeing that and knowing how hurt Grayson was by it, that kind of, that sucked,

you know?

Especially because it seemed more of a dig on her than a dig on me.

Grayson, how did you feel learning that Huda wrote the postcard?

I was obviously very upset.

Finding out that Huda wrote it, I was upset that you didn't stand on business.

if you thought this and other people thought this, I wish like somebody could

have confided in me and like been like, girl, he's not being completely honest

with you or maybe he's leading you on.

And I felt like instead of doing that, everybody was kind of reassuring me that

our connection looked really strong when I was having reservations.

So everybody took that as an opportunity to kind of bring it up instead of saying

it to my face.

I'm so apologetic of the way that came off.

I did not mean for that to hurt that bad towards Grayson at all. Like, I really,

really didn't. And Grayson's fucking amazing.

She's such a mature woman.

Like, she was there for me. She gave me advice. Like, she was the most kind

person. And I'm very apologetic for that card. Honestly, I felt terrible.

There's no problem. I know. I love you. There's no problem. I understand.

It was a tough position to be in. Like, I don't think that you...

Meant it the way that you got so Grayson.

Do you wish Pepe had been more honest with you?

So you could have made other connections in the villa. Yeah, of course. I think

you know we were in there for Like almost two weeks and I felt like we had

spent so much time together I felt like we were affectionate with each other.

I felt like we were moving in a way that if he didn't feel a spark like he would

have realized that sooner.

And instead, he waited as long as possible to tell me that.

And then the thing that kind of catapulted it was the stand-on business

challenge. I feel like I was pretty honest with you the day that I told you

I don't feel that spark.

I was like, I just don't want to drag you along and not let you enjoy the

experience.

But I feel like you, in a way, almost did prohibit me from having an

experience in there. You knew.

I really wanted to make a connection there.

You knew that, like, I wanted to find somebody.

Obviously, at the time, I thought that could be you. And you were telling other

people, I want to put 100% to Grayson. Yeah. So I wanted to put 100% to you. So

I felt like all of our free time, I was trying to spend it with you. Right.

I did, too.

So that does prohibit me, though. Like, do you see what I'm saying?

And I just kind of want you to know that, like, you did hurt me.

Like, I do feel, like, played in that situation.

And you're right.

Should I have said it two days before? Yeah, maybe I should have.

I am sorry, though.

I was never trying to blindside you or lead you on.

I mean, I'm not one to burn bridges. Like, I don't want there to be any bad

blood, and that's why I feel like I didn't stand up for myself in the

moment. I'm just glad I guess we can squash it and clear there.

I'm glad you did tonight.

And I want to move on.

Ace, what was it like watching Shelly be with Chris at Casa Amor?

Oh, Lord, that's a loaded question, ain't it?

Nah, it was definitely trials and tribulations, you know, especially

coming back and, you know, her and Chris had a connection and trying to get to

know each other. But honestly, it was a testament to what we had going on. And,

you know, I think it was honestly, it's weird to say it, but it was good for us,

you know, because in the real world, you know, people are going to face

temptation every day.

and what's meant to be what we're meant to be. So Shelly, what was it like

watching Ace and Coco at the villa?

Like seeing it, I was just like, oh my gosh, I don't want to see this.

But at the end of the day, like I also was exploring. So to me, it was just a

thing of like, okay, if there's a connection that you feel like you want

to get to know someone, then you absolutely should do that. And

ultimately, you know, it wasn't stronger than the connection that we had.

Coco, how do you feel about your relationship with Ace in the village?

He was such a sweetheart.

I do wish he would have been more

upfront in his thoughts.

If he was sure that he knew he wanted to be with Shelly as soon as she got back,

I feel like I wish he would have told me that.

But I think if he would have told me that, I would have had more time to kind

of explore other connections.

I'm sorry if you felt I led you on because that wasn't my intentions. I

just wanted to get to know you for you.

You would just do really sweet gestures, and we would talk about little day

dates, or just cute little stuff, and I felt like if you knew in your head for

real, just be a little more blunt with me.

I do better with being blunt.

But it was cool, it was a great experience regardless.

All right.

Well, I wanna switch gears.

Huda, you said in the press that you knew Shelly was interested in Chris, but

you brought him back for the both of you. Now this became a real thing.

Between you two and I think it confused a lot of viewers. So can you elaborate

on that?

I knew that I didn't find a connection in Casa more I Had expressed that I was

interested in Chris Me and Chris talked I talked to Shelly brought him back

and that way we could both explore him thanks for that connection and

Ultimately, I brought him back for both of us Shelly was that Your understanding

of your agreement with Huda?

That would be like the easy summary of it, if we're being honest.

When Huda did propose a conversation to me, it wasn't a, oh my gosh, yay, I'm so

excited to see what you're doing. The conversation was, oh, you know, I don't

have anybody here, and I know you really like Chris, but you know, I'm pretty

sure you're going to choose Ace. So I was thinking, how about I bring Chris

back for you so that you can explore him more, because I know how he feels about

you and how you feel about him, so you guys will get more time. And oh yeah, I

will explore him too, because why not? But I know how he feels about you, so

I'm going to do this for you, for you, for you.

Constantly, when we had multiple conversations, it was always the

narrative of, but I'm doing this for you.

Viewers only saw a short exchange between Huda and Shelly about this on

the show, but we actually have some unseen footage of that conversation to

show you now.

I gotta tell you something.

Okay, you have to tell me. Come sit.

Oh, you're making me nervous.

No, no, no, don't be nervous. Okay. Because I think it's, like, either,

like, you're gonna be happy about it or you're gonna be like, bitch, what the

fuck? Okay.

Okay. So, remember how I told you before, like, I was, like, interested in

talking to Chris? Yeah. So I pulled in for one chat. Yeah. He expressed that

how when he first came in here, he was interested in talking to me, but you

were his main focus, right? Yeah.

So he has semi-interest in me, too, right?

And obviously, if he's interested in talking to me, I'm interested in talking

to him, too. That's the whole point of Cast No More. Yeah.

Now, I haven't found anybody in here.

And obviously, I still want to talk to Chris and get to know him because

he's... telling me he has interest, right?

But on the other side of it, you wanted more time with him, right?

So I had the great idea of us choosing each other today.

That way, you can have more time and so can I.

And so can he.

OK.

How do you feel about it? I mean, I have a lot of mixed emotions about it. I

know. I know. And you know what? But it does sound like a great idea. I knew

your ass was going to be like, Huda, don't do it. And I'm not going to

listen. So I want you to. No, no, no. It's not even a Huda, don't do it. It's

just like.

I'm interested in getting to know him, too. And I feel like if it's worth not

only him getting to know me, but getting to know you as well, why not?

Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I don't.

understand what's gonna happen tonight.

Like, even though, like, yes, like, Ace is definitely, like, my number one, it

doesn't sound like a bad idea.

But I'm just like, okay, like... You're like, okay, I'm actually riding with

this, huh? No, it's a, like, a, like, huh?

I know, it's a kind of crazy idea, right? Yeah.

Chris is expressing interest in me.

By all means, I would love to explore that as well. Yeah.

But then again, he's also interested in you. Yeah. So it's like...

Look good. Why not? Yeah. No, I I trust me. I understand it. Yeah, I understand

it. But okay.

I love you Yeah, I love you. Yes, like truly when I'm when talking about it

like hmm, that could work. This would be a good idea Okay, right. No, it could

work. You know saying yeah, this is all a good intention. Yeah, I understand

that. Okay Okay,

okay, we'll see

I love you. I'm crying.

I love you, too. Come on. No, like, it was like a light bulb in my brain.

OK, so after watching that, what is everyone's response?

Was Huda clear in her intentions, or do you feel otherwise?

I thought that was pretty clear from my standpoint, at least.

No. It was direct.

I still feel like it's not the whole thing, because we had that conversation

a few times.

And every time we had a talk or something, it was moments of like, I'm

so happy for you. Like you have both these guys here and you get to explore

them and I get to explore them too. And it's like, that's what my frustration

was, was just keep pushing this narrative of like, I'm doing this for

you. I didn't like that. And that's it. Hoda, how do you feel seeing that clip?

I feel like it's exactly what I said I'd said.

And honestly, if you misunderstood it or

There wasn't a misunderstanding.

Do you remember the conversation in the dressing room when you said to me, like,

oh, if you didn't say this, even if you told me no, I still would have did it

for you anyways because I know what my girl wants. Do you remember that?

I think... And Ciara said to you, Huda, that's crazy. Do you remember?

I can't remember, but if I said that, yes, it was also for you.

And I think that...

That may have been me just reassuring you to make you more comfortable with my

decision, but I did express on multiple occasions that it wasn't only for you.

And I think that, honestly, I've moved on past it.

You're clearly happy outside the villa, and I think that's really what you

should be focusing on.

And, like, I'm so happy for you guys. And trust me, I am focused on that, but

I want to say this to you, Huda.

This was never a misunderstanding.

I never felt like you shouldn't have explored him. I never felt like, oh, it

was supposed to be just for me. I never felt like that.

That being said, when I came out the villain, things seemed like they were

cool and sweet and fine. You were speaking to me, everything.

You went on your podcast and was addressing me. And the way you were

addressing it was in a way of like, I did this, like I was clear about it.

Like everyone's making it like this and that, whatever. But it's like, you were

apologetic at one point, came off a show, went on interviews.

You added fuel to so many fires that were already out there. It's true. And

then now we're back here where it's like, oh, you know, just focus on this.

I am focused on my relationship.

It was just annoying that you keep trying to be like, oh, girls, girl, I'm

doing this for you, this, that, whatever.

Okay.

Don't go anywhere. We will be right back with more of the Love Island USA Season

7 Reunion.

Ladies, can I take you four?

You be on the second row.

You three gents.

Welcome

back.

I'm Ariana Maddox here with the cast of Love Island USA Season 7.

And I'm Andy Cohen.

Right now, it's time to welcome back two islanders whose chemistry was top of the

class. Let's say hi again to Hannah and Charlie.

A viewer named Rachel asked Iris and TJ, Pepe and Hannah, is there unfinished

business?

I don't think so. I think me and Iris, we had that conversation in L.A., and,

you know, we needed to have that conversation to move forward, and, you

know, she's with Pepe, and they have a great relationship, so I'm happy for the

both of them.

And what about you, Hannah? I think that nobody is as deserving of, like, a

strong connection as them. I think they both are amazing people.

There's no animosity from me at all.

How hard was it when you left the villa, then watching the show, and seeing them

strike up a connection?

when I left I kind of left with the mindset that like I know that things

change quickly and I am not gonna hold on to something that like could not work

out and I didn't want to like end up disappointed or feeling you know like

hurt or upset and like Iris is the best woman ever that's my girl and like she

had my back and I want to have her back through everything love you

Andrena, do you have anything to say to Brian who called you boring on the show?

Well, to be fair, he didn't call me boring.

I watched back. He called our conversations boring, which I... Where's

Brian? You've seen it. Yeah. Yes, I totally agree.

I'm not mad about that at all. I just feel like me and Brian, it was just

nothing there.

I was just upset about him standing behind Jaden because he never told me

about Jaden.

You know, I would appreciate if you're like, listen, I'm not feeling you. I'm

feeling Jaden. I'm having conversations with her, but he never said anything

about Jaden. And that's why I was upset when I left.

Brian, would you want to address that?

We were coupled up basically off physical attraction. We were trying to

get to know each other. And then we said we wanted to explore other people. She

had a conversation with Pepe that day. I had a conversation with Jayden. And it

was either staying behind somebody I know would be just a friend, or there is

no romantic connection there, or staying behind somebody that there is a

potential connection with so that's why i made that decision and i honestly

didn't have the time to tell her so that's honestly why that happened i know

we had a conversation where we were like if we're feeling somebody else we do

that so maybe i apologize for that but that's why i didn't do it i really

didn't have the time to do it after the challenge we went right to that so Okay,

when I pulled Pepe for a chat I went to you first and I told you I'm pulling

Pepe for a chat because I just felt weird Pulling someone else for a chat

without telling you and that's when you told me. Oh, I'm also pulling Jayden,

which I feel like maybe you wouldn't have done that if I didn't say first

that I was pulling someone else for a shot and also

You had, I think, two or three conversations with Jaden.

So I feel like you did have the chance to let me know that you were feeling

Jaden, but you never even mentioned Jaden's name.

Yeah, the reason behind that was, like you said, we went, like, two days

without talking unless we were laying in the bed with each other. And at that

point, I got to explore.

Yeah, I probably could have made it clear sooner, so that's probably on my

side. I'm not scared to admit that, but...

That was the reason why I stood behind Jaden on that challenge, so... Okay.

Well, they say the two's company, but three's a crowd.

And no one knows that better than Charlie, Hannah, and Pepe.

Just as sparks were flying between Hannah and Charlie, America voted to

pair her with bombshell Pepe instead.

Then, in a shocking twist, Charlie got dumped.

Let's take a look at the vote that rocked the villa.

Shit, this got interesting, boys.

Let's get the game going.

If this is what all baseball games are like, I understand what the Americans

get so hyped about.

The girl that I want to couple up with... ..is... ..Hannah.

Charlie is quite literally the embodiment of my type.

Plus, he has that little British accent that makes me want to tip-tip cheerio,

take my clothes off, you know?

Obviously, I'm aware that, you know, someone could always come into the villa

that does tick some boxes and may take your attention.

I think you have nothing to worry about.

Really? Mm-hmm.

Hola, me llamo Pepe.

I'm here for Hannah. Oh, Hannah!

Know what I came here to get and I'm gonna get it

I'm

fucked I hate this shit. You should not worry about that man until she tells you

to worry about that me

Lord

I felt like I was losing you. I'm not gonna lie. We are already so good

i don't think it's possible for anything to be better wow yeah like i have been

all over the place the last few days but ultimately what i've been missing has

been like right in front of me pepe the girl america wants you to

couple up with is hannah

Who do you want to dump from the island tonight?

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Sorry.

Charlie, how does it feel watching all of that back?

You know, like, the way it went down was, it was pretty brutal, you know,

like, to go, you know,

And then we get separated by the America vote. So then only moments later after

that, get dumped out of the island by my own islanders, right?

I'm completely out of the picture. It's not even like I can fight for it. And

yeah, man, like, it was rough. Do you know what I mean? That first week was

pretty rough, to be honest.

Hannah, take us through how you were feeling that night that Charlie got

voted off.

like i felt really guilty because i thought like part of the reason that he

was sent home was because of me and like what i did and so i really blamed myself

a lot and i think that led to like a lot of the emotions i was feeling but i

think i was just needing somebody there for me in that time and i think that

pepe was like there for me through that and i think that just shows like a

testament to his character and i think that's why i had like such mixed

emotions because i was really sad but also like i was grateful to have

somebody there to comfort me yeah um i don't

I don't hold any negativity towards you about moving on with Pepe. At the end of

the day, you obviously were attracted to Pepe and also further connection.

And, you know... At the time, you said it made you feel sick when she moved. Of

course it did. The first week, 100%. Like, I've been dumped from the island.

First thing I see the next day is they go on a date. Second day, then obviously

things got a bit more intimate.

Yeah, I think any person, any normal human, when you're developing feelings

for someone or you're going through something, no one wants to see that

other person be intimate with somebody else. That's just basic human emotion,

do you know what I mean? On the outside and the inside of the villa.

Hannah, what's making you emotional tonight?

I don't know. I think it's just, like, it's, like, nostalgic to be around

everyone and, like, kind of actually, like, processing everything because I

think as soon as I got home, I was like, I'm gonna...

Stay in my bed and like do what I want to do and like completely turn my brain

off from this I think it's it's weird to relive it now Charlie I know you said

that Amaya's vote was really hurtful Especially because you two had a

connection. What did it feel like to watch that moment back? So for me, I'll

break that down like so for me

I actually spoke to Amaya before Hannah and I remember thinking, man, this

girl's great. Do you know what I mean? She was bubbly. Do you know what I mean?

Great. But then me and Hannah really progressed.

And after the situation with Ace happened, the babe thing, I remember

Hannah came up to me and said, Amaya's asked if she could speak to you. She

feels like she feels comfortable to speak to you about the situation.

And, you know, she came to me and, you know, he was emotional and I was saying,

listen, like, don't worry about it. You're going to find somebody.

And, you know, I felt like for a little few days, me, you and Hannah had this

cool friendship.

So, yeah, like for me, the vote was, you know, it probably hurt the most because

I just thought, damn, like, you know, I always kind of felt there was at least

some kind of friendship there.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

I wonder, what was it that made you the final?

like the final vote?

So it was just like based off the last conversation that I had with Hannah and

it was just like you guys were both in a bad place so that's why my vote went the

way that it did.

So that's why. But it was nothing personal, like towards you or... Of

course not, yeah. And I hope that doesn't define our friendship or any

type of way. No, it doesn't. Because it was really hard.

No, I understand. That's why I was like, we don't want to do that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, no, of course it's a difficult situation to be in for

anybody, you know, to make that decision.

So I wasn't sure whether you'd vote for me or not, but I just thought it was

probably... Maybe... I still feel like I was the easy vote for everyone, to be

honest. I felt like it was easier, do you know what I mean? Because they were

rooting for their own people. I think me and Hannah's connection was strongest.

Respectfully, I do feel like it probably should have been Taylor that went that

night, do you know what I mean? Because it's evident now to see that he wasn't

really into a lingerie as much as people thought.

And, like, obviously, he's gone on to meet Clark, yeah, and that's great.

That's part of the show. But if you're going to weigh it up, the three people,

I don't think I should have gone home that night. But I think it was easier to

send me home.

Were you guys ever rekindled, you think?

Like, intimately.

yeah romantically i don't i don't we we haven't really uh spoken to each other

in that way since since the villa and um you know hannah do you see a chance for

that i would say i do not Got it. All right. Okay. Well, you're clear on

that. Well, Hannah thought her journey with Pepe was just getting started, but

the girls had other plans.

After landing in the bottom three, Hannah's fate was left to the safe

islanders, and in a surprise move, the girls sent her packing.

We actually have unseen footage of that deliberation that we can show you right

now.

This is obviously a very, very hard decision for all of us, because we have,

like, a special bond with each individual girl up there.

But I truly feel like this should be fair, and we should go from, like, the

strongest couple to, like, the weakest. And all we have to go off of is just,

like, recent things that's happened and recent conversations.

I think that's only fair.

Go one by one.

Pepe and Hannah.

They're so amazing. They're really good. They're really solid and he's really

happy and she's really happy and I would hate to fuck that up. Me too. And

then... I don't know how

I feel about going based off of the connections simply because if we're

using Hannah and Pepe for an example, I just...

Thinking about their connection, I think about her and Charlie's connection, how

it happened instantly, and then how her and Peppa's happened instantly.

When it was you and Jeremiah, I'm like, you know what? I can't be the one to say

that love at first sight is not a real thing. But then it's like, look where

you guys ended up.

You got a good point, Shelly. We keep talking about exploring, exploring,

exploring. And not for nothing, I haven't seen that. So that's why this

whole strong connection thing, I'm scared to go based off of just that.

Because I feel like being in here was about exploring your connections and

finding your person and actually looking.

you know, within other people, not just automatically you make a connection with

this person. Now I'm stuck like glue. I really feel it's more about people's

actual actions and intentions on being in here, which was to find your person.

So let's table that.

Iris, I feel like A, she's had the least amount of time in here, which is

unfortunate. B, she hasn't gotten the chance to explore a connection that

isn't within her decision.

C,

And you know what I want to also throw into there? Even when it wasn't her

decision, she still then tried to explore it. And said, you know what?

I've been dealt this deck. I'm going to go through it and try my hardest. She's

definitely going about it the right way.

Yeah. I don't want to do it to any of them. And then Amaya.

They all deserve to be here.

No, they do.

Agreed. They do.

I think Amaya.

Amaya, I really feel like she... I don't want her to go home. I don't want her to

go home. I feel like she gives her all in all her connections that she's made

so far.

She's been open and she is... She's been beating herself up so bad about this

shit. So it's either Hannah or Iris.

I really feel like Iris has truly been putting her best foot forward. She's

been dealt with some fucking shitty-ass cards, y'all.

I would feel awful sending Iris home.

But then again, I would feel awful sending Hannah home.

Hannah's such a fucking light in this place. That's what I'm saying.

She is such a big personality. I love that girl. I love her too.

She's so sweet.

One, two, three, name.

One, two, three, name.

All right, take ten seconds.

Ten. I feel so bad, man.

Seven, six, five, four, three, two.

Hannah.

Fuck.

Hannah, what does it feel like to see that?

I just need a second.

You're okay, babe.

understand it feels better to know now I guess the explanation because

I I think that's what I struggled with a lot is I just felt like there was so

many unanswered questions and I just was wondering what I did wrong or if there

was something I could have done or said that would have changed things but I'm

grateful for my experience and

I just was not going to find love in the villa, and that's okay.

I'm wondering if any of the ladies regret dumping Hannah, or does your

reasoning still stand?

Sending someone home is never a good feeling, and even sitting here seeing

you emotional now is not a good feeling either.

In that moment, I was like, maybe we could do things a little bit

differently. There's other people here who haven't gotten a chance to find a

connection.

In a little part of it, we were thinking, like, oh, my gosh, she gets to

see Charlie again, which at the end of the day, we still didn't even feel good

about. Immediately after, we were very emotional sending Hannah home. It felt

almost like a betrayal, to be honest.

Iris, that made you really emotional.

Yeah, I really feel for Hannah. You know, she did have a strong connection.

Sometimes I feel like, oh, maybe I should have went home because I didn't

have a connection.

But it's a hard thing to, like, live with.

Sending anybody home fucking sucks.

It really does. Like, it's not an easy decision at all. When I tell you, we sit

there for a fat minute thinking they're like, come on, tell us your answer.

We're just like, we don't fucking know.

And Hannah's such a sweet little ball of energy, and she's flourishing right now.

And I'm so proud of her. She made the freaking best of this shit.

I'm proud of her.

Hannah, how do you feel hearing all of that from the girls?

I think that...

the General consensus from what I've seen since I've been out of the villa is

everyone wants me to be so angry at them and they're saying like they're not your

friends like they wouldn't have sent you home, but Regardless of who would have

gone home Somebody was gonna be hurt and it doesn't mean that those friendships

weren't important and I don't like I would shut that down every time because

you guys are important to me and you guys treated me so well and

Like, this wouldn't have happened. Amaya and Brian wouldn't have happened. Like,

I am so grateful that these beautiful connections were able to come, even if

it was off of, like, a heartbreak for me.

But, you know, everything happens for a reason, and I'm just grateful that I got

to meet everyone and that I get to cherish these friendships forever.

What a great attitude Absolutely,

we are gonna leave it there. We will be right back

Okay, listen, if you guys ever, like, let's say hypothetically, this is Josh.

Hypothetically. Not for years.

Not for years.

Would you name the baby Shalai? Hell no.

Middle name Shalai? Hell no.

I like it. I kind of like it. Shalai. I kind of like it. I'm not going to lie.

It sounds like shoelace.

Do you have anything to say?

About you?

No, about y'all's relationship.

I think JD's just jealous that he doesn't have the relationship with

either of us that we have with each other.

We're live. We're back. We're back.

Welcome back to the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion on Peacock.

I'm Ariana Maddox here with iconic reunion host Andy Cohen.

She may have been the first one voted out, but she left a lasting impression

on everybody.

Give it up for Belle A.

For Bella.

Sorry.

I mean, watching, I always call you Belle A. Of course your name is Bella.

It's okay. It's confusing a little bit.

But how did you come up with the dash A?

My birth given name has a dash in it. It's Isabel dash Ann.

So that's where Belle dash A comes from. But people just started pronouncing the

dash. So here we are.

How has your life been since leaving the villa?

I was...

not really expecting the craziness afterwards to follow.

Like, the love is strong.

But, you know, I think that even the backlash can be a little strong as well

and a bit heavy to deal with.

After watching the show, how did you feel about Nick's journey after you

left? I'm very happy with Nick and Alandria. I think they are a beautiful

couple. I'm so happy for you guys.

I love the sisterhood that you and Huda had in the villa.

Hi. Are you two still tight?

I will forever hold the biggest amount of love for Huda. You know, she was

there for me when nobody else really was. I love you. And I'm sad to say that

this is the first time I've seen her. We haven't seen each other at all. Yeah.

We've both been so busy.

I fucking love Bella. She's great.

Well, let's bring out another OG who had a lot going on in the villa and had

quite a lot of people talking after he left.

It's Jeremiah.

Look at that handsome guy.

Jeremiah, it's good to see you again. How are you feeling? Are you nervous at

all? No, I feel great.

Well, on Love Island, breakfast was the true barometer of our couple's

connections. And nothing tested the temperature quite like an uncooked

pancake. I'm done.

Pancake, eggs, over easy.

What? Peanut butter?

It was so disgusting. You're so real.

Do you know how to make coffee? No. Are you serious?

I'm so serious. I do not.

Shit.

Now, I know you wanted a coffee. Yeah. But, like, I'm still trying to figure

out how to work the machine type shit.

Yo, you're a killer. Why do you keep taking these people's treats?

Wow, first time.

I guess that's nice. I think just... I don't think it's not cooked all the way.

No way.

Yeah, today's not cooked all the way. Don't eat that.

Taylor, can you help me with this?

You should thank your boy, Taylor.

He helped me with, like, my breakfast today.

Okay, what's your point in saying that?

I'm just saying. Okay, cool, for sure.

What the fuck?

You may not agree with the pancake thing, whatever.

I, okay, the thing is, it's not even something for me to agree on because why

would I think someone's making you pancakes when I already made you a

pancake? And the fact we're still talking about this is kind of nuts.

It was that uncooked pancake that seemed to push your relationship over the edge,

Huda. Do you think you overreacted at all?

I mean, it sucked having an uncooked pancake, I'm not gonna lie, but, you

know, he made the effort to make a pancake.

God bless him.

You said, Jeremiah, in the press, that your relationship was very toxic.

Yeah, for sure. Did you feel like that when you were in it, or did you get a

greater perspective watching it back?

I fucked up the pancake 100%.

It wasn't about the undercut pancake, but it was like the way she went about

things, like asking Taylor and then like, oh, thank you, Taylor. Thank you,

Taylor. That's her sign to get me to notice another man cooking or something.

To me, that's strange.

That's where I was like, okay, let me start paying real attention to how our

communication is.

There's definitely things that I should have worked on, and that's those things

that I'm addressing in my life now.

The thing is, like, you learn from mistakes and you work towards being a

better person.

What do the other Islanders think about...

The relationship between the two of them that you guys witnessed while you were

in the villa together.

I'm surprised he lasted that long, man.

I'm not gonna lie.

Someone said, what, that pancake situation would have been done for me,

so fair play to him. He tried, but that's crazy.

I'm never going to put the blame all on one person, but, like... Like our date,

for example, I'm like, okay, first we have to, you know, survive the villa.

Then we gotta, you know, do long distance.

Then we gotta, you know, date in the same city. Then we move in together. But

then watching the clip back, she goes and tells the girls, he said he wants to

move in with me.

And that makes the girls look at me some type of way as the love bombing where

that's not at all what happened.

Do you feel like I love bomb you by definition of love bombing? To some

capacity, yes, I do.

Okay. But you know, like the definition of love bombing has to involve intent

and manipulation.

People don't have to do it intentionally.

You can love bomb unintentionally.

Okay, so if you're saying, I love you twice in three days, and then me saying,

yo, sometimes I do too much, I'm gonna be overbearing, let me know if I'm

tripping, and you say, no, you're doing fine, how am I love bombing you if I'm

coming to you and asking you, yo, I think I'm doing too much, am I? And you

say no.

And then also, at the same time, I'm not doing enough.

So with those three facts alone, in my eyes, I can't be love bombing you,

because those all contradict what love bombing is, from my point of view.

Well, yeah, I felt all the emotions. Like, when you would tell me things,

like, I've truly felt those emotions.

They were real. Yeah, I felt those emotions. Is that it?

Love bomb you. I just wanted to, like, explain why to everyone else that said I

was love bombing.

Does that make sense to you, Ace? When you're telling me very early on, yo, if

a bombshell come in, just tell your girl, oh, I love you, and your girl not

gonna leave you, and you tell me it's a joke.

Yeah, it's very clearly a joke. Okay, but this is something a little off.

Yeah, but love bombing is to that person. I can't love bomb her through

you. You're coming to us about... what should I do about this girl? What should

I do about this? And then you guys are having this toxic-ass relationship

throughout the villa. True.

It's affecting all of us. I agree, I liked her too much, moved too fast, with

you on that. But by definition, I did not love Bomber. I just liked her too

much, too fast.

Sometimes I might have my own perspective, and I'm just very adamant

on getting my perspective across, but it was never no ill intent between you two.

I think when you called me a scammer, that is when I was like, What the hell?

How am I? I'm going through hell right now, and you're calling me a scammer?

Like, I don't need that. And that was off of the comments, what I was hearing.

That's when I made the scamming comment. Yeah, but then, like, putting that on

America, like, America thinks I'm a scammer. Like, that was, like,

villainizing me when that was not at all what I was going through. I was just

trying to deal with a relationship, you know, that turned up toxic. And I'm a

scammer. Like, that shit really hurt. So do you think that Jeremiah was there for

the wrong reasons?

When I hear comments about getting the money, when I hear comments about

followers outside the villa, I don't feel this is a genuine connection.

What did you hear? He was focused too much on what would happen after this,

after the show?

It's been conversations of, you know, when the guys are sitting around talking

about, you know, what was our following before this and what was your following

and what do you think it's going to be?

I'll clear that up real quick.

One... I never mentioned the money. I remember I made a joke when we were

like, oh, when we get out of here or when we win. I didn't go in there, let

me go get 50, let me go stress for six weeks to get 50 racks.

You know, that's not, respectfully, like, I'm not going through that 50

racks, you feel me?

So it's like, it was never about the money. And to toot your point.

It was never about, oh, I can't wait to get out here and see what I got. So I'm

not going to go in here, like, rolling the dice, trying to get followers.

That's dumb.

I'm curious for Nick and Taylor, if you think Jeremiah was love-bombing Hoda.

I just agree with whatever Ace says, so... Oh, my God.

I don't think he was there for the wrong reasons.

You know, we all came here to find love.

Andrena, I want to ask you about something Taylor said on a podcast.

He said that Jeremiah was...

possessive of you to the point of telling the boys not to talk to you.

Pepe and Nick both wanted to get to know you, but Jeremiah would tell them not

to.

What's your reaction to this?

I don't even think that's a question for me.

What's your reaction? Should I tell you not to? First off, no, that's not what

you said. What I said on the podcast was, Jeremiah was being possessive over

Andrena. Me and Pep was in the bedroom one night, and Jeremiah said, I'm gonna

talk to Andrena all day so nobody else can talk to her. That's what I said on

the podcast. Yeah, but y'all can pull her whenever for a chat. Yeah, it was a

joke. You know me by, that's like week three, bro.

I'm gonna talk to her all night so y'all can't. Uh-huh. Come on, bro.

Don't try to villainize that. That's strange.

Austin, you're super close with Jeremiah.

What do you make of all this?

I'm so sorry. I was just zoned out for like five minutes.

Welcome back.

Have I missed something?

If you think of something, call on us.

Yeah, no, I don't think Jeremiah was love bombing. I think you can like

someone too much.

yeah, move not the correct way, like, going about it, just because, like, you

like someone too much. Did you hear the same things that, you know, these guys

were saying? Yeah, but I took it as a joke. Like, the, I'm going to talk to

her all day. You can pull people for chats whenever, bro. Like, come on, bro.

Don't do that.

Yeah, I mean, I took those as a joke. I don't think, um... There was a

challenge, and the question was, who do you think should be axed from the villa?

You chose Jeremiah.

Why did you choose him?

I mean, obviously, I was joking, too. It wasn't anything serious. But you see how

people go home, though, off of just jokes.

You see how people go home, though, off of just jokes.

I mean, yeah, but, like, you guys voted out a bunch of couples.

Hannah, Pepe, Charlie, Jeremiah.

These are group decisions. People went home either way. People are going to go

home. Yeah, I didn't go home because he shot me with a cannon. I'm saying,

though, he felt some type of way, too, just because he doesn't want to stand on

business and say why he chose someone. It was a joke. That's my bro. He just

wanted to hit me.

Austin, from your perspective as someone in Jeremiah's inner circle,

Do you think that there were really two different guy squads in the villa?

Yeah, like, I mean, there's definitely two squads, I guess, but I don't think

there's animosity driven. I just think that people are, like, always want to

know, like, oh, what do you think of this person? Do you not like this

person? At the end of the day, like, we all went through this experience

together, so it's like we're one big family. You just have, like, certain

family members you like more than the others.

Whoa, Nick did it easy.

What the hell?

Austin and Ace, they got some deeply rooted memes. They do have something.

Why do they have that? It's so intense. They don't like each other. I know,

Jeremiah, you felt betrayed by your eviction. Yeah. Nick, you mentioned that

you wanted to address Jeremiah's dumping specifically.

What did you want to say? Well, that night of the dumping, it was supposed to

be a group decision between, you know, Ace, Taylor, and I.

And I guess what was never shown was...

that when we were talking about it, I specifically had said, if Andrena and

Jeremiah even have like a 5% chance of making it, that's who I want to keep in

the villa.

And I thought that Austin should be removed from the villa.

I didn't vote you out to be like a scapegoat. You just said, what?

A scapegoat. A scapegoat.

What's wrong with that? It reminded me of a scapegoat. The meme that people

were making. Is there a meme?

Because I said it twice.

All right.

Well, on that note... We do have unseen footage of the boys' deliberations that

we can show you right now.

I think, for me, it's an easy decision that Pepe should be safe. And it's

about... And now it's about Austin versus Jeremiah.

Mm-hmm.

Now, I don't feel...

Honestly, we should send Austin home because I don't feel he's got his fair

shake. He also really hasn't had his type come in yet for him to, you know,

dive in 100% on it. And then another point to that is when, you know, even if

the person wasn't his type, Austin's still up making breakfast for that

person regardless and still trying. I mean, so now that leaves, you know,

Jeremiah.

And I know y'all have strong opinions on that. So I'll let y'all speak.

Pretty much with Jeremiah, bro, it's just like the fact that it's just

like... I feel like he's repeating the same cycle.

America came by to explore that.

Okay, he explored it for a day.

And then Adrena comes in and he's, fuck Iris, treat Adrena.

And here he's not getting the full experience, bro. He's not...

He's not doing the love out of the correct way. I think the problem I'm

having is like You guys might think that the same cycle is happening, but right

now it's about You know you have Austin who doesn't have somebody right now, and

it could be a gambit in Jeremiah And then you know Jeremiah is that same

cycle and then on the other hand it's a gamble because if you send Jeremiah home

Jeremiah Sorry, am I saying that right? If you're sending Jeremiah home, then

you could be risking his relationship with Adrena.

And I don't want to write it off just because of the history that he's had.

I would like to think that he is someone who grows from this and changes things.

And right now, Austin doesn't have any sort of relationship here.

But I think it sounds like two votes for Jeremiah, so it's like Jeremiah.

Jeremiah, how does it feel to see that?

I do appreciate, you know, Nick saying, look, like, he's probably going to grow

from this. You know, no offense to Austin, but I should have went home.

So that definitely makes me feel better about, you know, me and Nick being cool,

for sure.

Well, Ace, we got a lot of reactions on social media. Yeah.

that you were the ringleader of sorts in getting Jeremiah dumped.

And I know you put out a diss track about it recently where you alluded to

the ringleader title, but I just want to hear your perspective here. First off,

it wasn't a diss track. It's just a creative way for me to express how I'm

feeling. Do you see how people could think you were the ringleader?

I will say I was very vocal, but again, in these vocal moments, everybody had

something to say. You know what I mean? Like, it was group settings when we had

that. If you think, I'm just going to have a conversation with myself

throughout the whole entire thing.

It's kind of silly to believe that. And I felt like other people gave their

inputs on things that just wasn't highlighted.

Was Ace the ringleader, did you think, Charlie?

I'd never let another guy fucking tell me what to do.

But, but, but, like, I don't know about ringleader, but, you know, definitely

trying to figure out where everyone's heads were at.

He was definitely always asking, yo, who do you want to talk to today? Who do you

want to talk to? But not giving out as much information in return.

And when I started noticing that, I was like, okay, maybe I've got to start

keeping my cards close to my chest type shit. Do you know what I mean?

Last thing I'll say is that I moved on now, but during the time, like, the

night Charlie left, you're at the fire pit yelling about me. And then when y

'all are sitting in a circle, from my personal experience in the villa, you

were the ringleader. You were, like, the main antagonist. That's what...

Like, my experience was, but Jeremiah, you're a grown-ass man. How could I ring

lead a bunch of other grown men? You're saying, oh, you was at the fire pit

going off about me and calling me a scammer.

There's reasons why I've stated that, and I've told you that to your face. So

coming out, seeing that I'm the ring leader, I'm the person who sends, I'm

the only person responsible for sending a person home on Love Island.

Austin, was Ace the ring leader?

I mean, the ringleader is such a weird way to put it. How would you put it,

then? He put it as ringleader.

You said the little ringleader, I remember.

It's on the clips. I don't think I said little ringleader. You did.

You did.

That's so funny.

I think that's an adjective you added.

But I'm just saying you did.

Okay,

then I did say, yeah, group ringleader.

Do any of you guys regret your decision?

Sending Jeremiah home? Yes.

For sure. Being a part of that decision? Yes.

I can be a man and admit that. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong about

certain things.

I appreciate that.

Who do you think should have gone?

Austin. I definitely feel like Austin should have went home.

Well, a lot of fans felt like Jeremiah and Hannah were dumped unfairly by the

other Islanders. Should we see how America voted?

Yeah. Take a look.

The bottom three boys were Austin, Pepe, and Jeremiah.

And the bottom boy was Jeremiah.

Damn. And as we know, the bottom three girls in the vote were Amaya, Iris, and

Hannah. And we can see that the bottom girl was Hannah.

So in theory, we did what America was going to do anyway, but we still got

scrutinized. We was going to get scrutinized regardless of who we voted

for. That's what I was saying. People have their own opinion. Those two would

have went home regardless.

Thank you for showing that.

I want to know if there is anything else that you want to address directly with

the Islanders here.

I feel like Amaya, the TikTok video of you.

Wait, which TikTok video? The TikTok video. With Alex Cooper?

Yes, with Alex Cooper. I spoke to you about that. And I know, I'm about to

address that. When you're on a video talking about some, yo, Ace, let's look

at his height. And don't get me wrong, I laugh and shit. I laugh at the jokes.

It's all fun and games. But when you're preaching, oh, I don't stand for

bullying, I don't stand for that.

but then you post a video like that, it gives mixed emotions.

You feel what I'm saying?

Okay, hold on. If I knew that she was going to take that video and do X, Y,

and Z with whatever, I would have never have tolerated that or accepted that.

And I spoke to you directly that my team was trying to get that video taken down.

It doesn't feel like things are genuine when people are apologizing behind

closed doors and there's a different public narrative still being pushed.

doesn't feel right to me. I feel like we all developed a great family inside the

villa, just coming out, just seeing different things.

People were acting differently outside the villa than inside.

Right. It hurts my feelings when the people who I was in the villa with don't

have my back, and I'm being scrutinized in the public knowing what I went

through with y'all.

That's what hurts my feelings.

OK.

We have to ask, because fans on social media have clocked it, I've clocked it,

that Jeremiah, you and Bella were staying at the same house, so is there

something going on here?

I saw a video in the same room, same carpet, same bed. It was a bedroom, to

be fair, not just the house.

We were all at the same house. You know, Jeremiah is an incredible person, but

I think for me, I have been waiting my whole life to be put first by somebody.

And I think it's really time for me to put myself first and choose myself.

And so that's where my mind's at.

It's time for Bella.

And not Bella and somebody else. It's just me.

So you guys are not a thing. Or is there potential?

No, that's my friend. Yeah.

Besties. I was hoping for a recoupling, you know?

On that note, think you've got what it takes to be on the next season of Love

Island USA?

The villa's waiting.

Apply now on Instagram at loveislandusa or on the Love Island app.

Thank you sir, here we go.

We are back with a Season 7 reunion.

I'm your host, Arianna Maddox. Here with me tonight is Andy Cohen.

Thanks, Arianna.

Well, one Islander who definitely shook things up, our very own Hurricane Huda.

From the second she stepped into the villa on day one, this single mom gave

us meme-worthy moments all season long.

Oh, gosh.

I'm one of the most understanding people you'll probably ever meet.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little intimidated by you.

Fourth will be Jeremiah.

I'm coming!

Of course, Amaya picks Jeremiah to be her fourth bass.

That was the dumbest shit she could have fucking done. I just

already don't like her. I think that she has ulterior motives, and I just don't

fuck with it.

Oh. Oh, shit.

Bitch, if you don't fucking quit it right now, thank you.

America has voted, and the boy they want you to couple up with is Jeremiah.

What?

Hello,

New York.

I don't give a fuck.

I'm in the hot seat for exploring. And now if I do give Iris the time of day,

I'm in the wrong because I had a strong connection with her.

By all means, explore.

Like, fuck you.

You're a bitch.

You're a pussy ass bitch. I know. This is how you think it's going to make me

like you? Just by all means. I wouldn't make you like me. Jesus Christ. So don't

fucking talk to me.

The crusher.

This the second one, right?

No, it's actually like the 15th. Shit.

So fuck all the way out of my fucking vagina, brother.

I said that.

And that's it. If you wanted her to continue to explore this connection and

you value this sisterhood, I get that you don't kiss and tell, but do you mind

telling the class?

I can't kiss a guy that I like. God fucking forbid.

Fuck this fucking game.

I guess I was ugly. Would I make it better?

No. Hurricane Huda.

Hurricane Huda.

I can't do it anymore, bro.

We have a lot of questions. I was going to start by asking what it's like

watching it back, but I see you found it hysterical. This is the thing. I've done

so much self-reflection and so much work that I can look back on these moments

and laugh.

So it's like, obviously now I would handle things so differently.

And all I can say is I was unapologetically myself in all of those

moments. I didn't hide who I was one bit.

So you did a month of self-reflection and you're a different person now?

Obviously, there's steps to being a better person. I think that, you know...

are really heightened in the villa.

And is there, like, things that I did in the villa that I'm not proud of? Yeah.

Like, what do you mean?

What aren't you proud of? Oh, my God, the cursing. Like, calling people names.

Like, was that called for? No.

It happened, though.

It's a pressure cooker environment. Yeah, of course.

In some press interviews, I know that you said that you felt isolated in the

villa and bullied.

Mm-hmm.

That as a viewer I couldn't get it because you seemed like you always had

like an ongoing sisterhood going with the women So what was the bullying that

I missed watching the show? Well, I had seen some clips after I left the villa

that made me feel bullied

What were in the clips?

It was when, I think, Shelly was there.

Who was there? Sierra. Sierra.

And I was just, I thought that you guys were, like, looking. I mean, I was just

being funny and joking around. And then I had seen the commentary you guys made,

and it really did hurt my feelings.

Nonchalant queen.

When she charged the iris yesterday like I was actually fucking scared from the

moment iris got in here She already tried to set a tone of like who iris

could talk to who she can So if you even feel like you have to stand your ground

where every person that comes in here in the name of your person That should be a

red flag. Yeah Why she looking over here

Oh, I think she thinks we're staring at her.

That was mean.

It was hurtful.

Shelly, do you know what clip she's talking about?

Yeah, I know exactly what clip.

She was talking about we were all on the couch just sitting down talking might

look like it was a mean girl situation or everyone was being mean or anything

but it wasn't even that like I just knowing like how we all showed up for

you and was there and kept preaching sisterhood. I don't think personally

there was a time that anyone really bullied you or anything. I'm not saying

oh you Shelly bullied me from start to finish. Nothing like that. I think that

there were certain things that were said that did hurt my feelings.

Maybe bullying could have been a different word but.

Truly, I've really just moved on from it.

It is what it is. Like, you know, I don't have any ill will towards you,

like, at all. And likewise, and if you did feel like you were bullied, then I

apologize for that.

There is no ill feelings towards anything. I just, for me, I just think

the aftermath of everything was just, like, shocking to me. I appreciate you

apologizing. I really do.

Hoda, I want to add that being in the villa, watching the day-to-day, I really

thought that I saw...

Alandria, really being there for you as a friend, why did you feel like you

couldn't lean on her in these moments where you said you felt you weren't

supported? Oh, so with Alandria, me and Alandria were really good friends in the

villa. Like, I love that bitch down.

You're not a bitch, but, like, you know what I mean. This is how we talk. But I

love Alandria, like, to death, okay?

And she was there for me a lot.

I think it was after that stand-on business challenge where it was like...

I don't know who to talk to, like, after that. And we've spoken about it, we've

talked about it, and, like, we moved on from it. Are you guys still close?

Okay, so like she said, we're super close in the villa.

Upon exiting the villa, once we got our phones back, I saw the amount of hate

that I was getting from her stans, and I expressed to her, hey, I really feel

like it's important, especially if you consider yourself being very, very close

to me, and you was close to Shelly at some point, to speak out to your fans

and kind of address, because... the racism and all the things. Because out

of all of us, she had the biggest following.

And I truly feel like a lot of that stuff, like the hate train that me and

Shirley came out to was very important. I feel like for her to address directly

to her people.

And this is before we got on a plane from Fiji to come back to the States.

When we got in Cali, in LA, she mentioned that she would make a post

directly to her fans. I was like, you know what? Thank you. That's all I ask,

you know? Two or three days went by and she even decided to address her people.

And I'm just like, It pained me because even when she went on there to say she

was bullied and she didn't put a name to it, they thought I was one of the

bullies, you know what I mean? So I'm glad she kind of put a name to it now

and kind of cleared that up. It's like, that shit added more hate. I don't think

you understand that. That shit was fucking with me mentally. It was so bad.

I'm like, dang, like, me and Huda was so close. Like, I wasn't even worth a post,

like, to address your people when they have the whole narrative wrong. You kind

of just got into the real world and kind of fell into that narrative and fed it.

And I'm like, damn, like...

Did our friendship not mean anything, you know? Which is why I chose to

unfollow you, and I know we have not spoken, but that's really the reason

why. When I heard about what was going on, I remember I told you, I said,

Alandria, I do not want you or Shelly getting hate. And I told you that.

And I told you that I would address it.

In an interview with press, I addressed the bullying and the hate.

Towards you guys and I said don't condone bullying.

I don't agree with it and it got aired the day you unfollowed me Can I just say

something really quickly and from what I'm understanding like I don't know You

didn't really put a name to who your bullies were I think now I'm getting

clarification that I was one of your bullies. I never put a name to it I will

say that I never that was dangerous Hold on. Hold on. That was danger. And I I

literally called you out on the podcast and I said, I love Alandria So I'm

unsure of why you thought it was towards you at all.

Because I got hate from it. That's why I was so confused. And I didn't even know

that. And I wish you would have said something so I could just clarify again

that I love you.

I think the clarification was in the Airbnb, though, because the three of us

was in that room when we turned to you and said, Huda, like, you should address

these people. It's not OK, et cetera, et cetera. And you said you will. You

didn't express to me that you felt like I was a bully to you or this or that.

You made it seem like, oh, my gosh, I missed you so much, girl. You look

beautiful. How are you? Whatever, whatever.

So I'm thinking, like, everything is good. Like, to then see you go in your

interviews and say, oh, I was bullied. And now I'll say I was the bully because

that's what you're insinuating.

it doesn't really make sense if you said you're gonna knock that out, but then

you go on and say, oh, that was my bully. And this is in the midst of me

getting constant hate based off of what people felt for you or whatever. I

definitely said things on emotion, because it was shortly after we left.

And obviously, yeah, I thought things were great. And then starting to see the

videos, it really hurt my feelings. And I should have addressed that to you

directly. I should have said something. And I do apologize for not saying things

to you directly. That is my fault. And I don't think you should be getting any

hatred at all in terms of like, people defending me or anything like that.

Like, you are a good person. And I don't want you to be getting any hate. I mean,

I appreciate your apology.

I'll just say like, it's just so confusing sometimes because like, you

know, in the villa we had so many conversations where you apologize for

stuff and then we come out and it's, oh, I'm unapologetically myself.

And then on a podcast, it's like watering down everything we talked about

where you acknowledge, you know, I'm sorry I did this. I might've hurt you in

this way and stuff.

And then on your podcast, it's like, oh, whatever. I just did this. I don't care.

And it was such big moments too. So it's like, even now, like I do appreciate

your apology, but it's just like, damn, it's like always like an up and down

when it comes to it.

Why didn't you do the post that Alandria asked you to?

Like, I was dealing with so much outside of that. Like, I didn't know what to say

in that moment because I was dealing with so much. I wanted to address more

than just that.

Truly wish you would have just prioritized that moment to just address

the racism and the bullying towards me and Shelly since that was spewed out the

most. That hurt. I was getting hated on as well racially. I get that, but your

face was not plastered on fucking George Floyd's body. I didn't even see that.

Mine was. I told you that. This was as a result. It was that bad. I don't condone

that either.

I don't think I explained it in the airport like that. Like that shit is

hurt. That shit hurts.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Like I didn't make the post. I'm glad you've grown from it now, but

that shit hurt, bro. I'm really sorry. We was close.

I'm really, like truly I am. And you didn't fucking speak out for me.

She didn't fucking speak up for me or her.

I said bullying, and when I was addressing- It wasn't just bullying, it

was racism. All of it. And I'm really sorry about that. Like, I do not make

these posts by people. I have told people I don't want anybody getting

hate. I don't want any bullying. I don't want anything. I've said it so many

times. I've said it so many times today.

Like, I am sorry that all of that happened.

I was getting racism hate too.

Like, I don't want you guys getting hate in that way. I think that's wrong.

Racism is wrong.

I don't agree with it at all.

Is this why you unfollowed her, Alandria? 100%, yes. Oh, yeah, because

it's like I've seen two different people. Because we were in the villa

talking about, I can't wait to plan trips together.

You were saying things like, oh, I want you to meet my daughter, et cetera. I

was excited for those moments. But then when we get out, it's like a complete

switch. Like, you've seen social media. Now you're saying you've seen clips and

this and that.

Where do you ladies think that you go from here?

I mean, for me personally, like, you know, you pick and choose who you want

to be friends with, and that's perfectly fine. You don't have to be friends with

everybody. Do you want to be friends with Huda? No, I just wish you well from

a distance. I wish you well as well. Like, I want the best for her, but it's

just, like, me personally having a friendship, like, that trust is broken.

Like, that's not something I could do. I wouldn't feel like I could trust her as

my friend. So it's just like, you know. Alandria, same question.

I love her to death, but that really was a turning point for me.

I wish you guys both well. I wish you the best.

Like, I don't want either one of y'all receiving hate.

And like Shelly said, not everybody's meant to be friends, and that's okay,

but it doesn't mean I hate them.

Well, I agree that hate in any form is unacceptable, and I'm glad that we were

able to have this conversation.

And thank you guys for being so open about it.

Shelly, I want to talk about the heart rate challenge.

What was it that Hutter did that crossed the line in your eyes?

I think the whole performance.

In the video, I don't know if you guys have a clip or not, but I mean, if it is

here, I'd rather it just be seen rather than having to explain it.

Well, Ariana?

Yes, we do have an unseen extended version just for us.

I show hands.

What is happening?

I was supposed to be watching?

That's some crazy shit.

So, lots to talk about there.

Huda, when you watch that, how do you feel, and do you feel you went too far,

or...? I think that I took a step too far for some people, and I do apologize

if I made anybody feel uncomfortable. Everything was consensual. There was no

limitations, and we all made that very clear at the beginning of the challenge.

So, Shelly...

Watching that back, do you feel like you overreacted or do you feel like you were

justified in your feelings?

No, I definitely feel like I was justified.

I want to bring up a point of like, we've always mentioned this whole

consensual thing and everyone's like, yeah, we're all open to everything.

So with that being said, it comes to a thing of like this friendship and

sisterhood. It was never because we didn't consent to this. And I think when

you do certain challenges, it's with intention because you're interested in a

person, you like a person.

I mean, to my knowledge, you didn't have any interest for Ace, so to go as far as

that, as me being your friend, I think my reasons were very justified.

So for the rest of the group, was it as you remembered it? Was there a smoking

gun? I thought I was taking too far. There was a boundary that was crossed.

I also see, like, Huda's side, where we've been preaching, like, it's a

challenge, it's a challenge. But in the same breath, it's, like, it's week five,

and it's Ace and Shelly, so it's, like, a bit, you know... Just think that there

should have been more talk about boundaries.

I think that was just something, miscommunication.

Huda, if Shelly had done that routine on Jeremiah when you were together, what

would your reaction have been?

When Chris was getting danced up on and all of that, so I'm over here cheering,

you know, having a grand old time. That's because we were both experiencing

him. You and Jeremiah were different. No, no, with everybody. Every single

person that went up to Chris, like, I was...

cheering, laughing, the whole nine yards. Yeah, but I think there's a

difference between being danced on and licking private parts, if I'm being

real. And that's boundaries you can't really speak on. That's why, like, even

Iris saying this whole boundaries thing, I don't feel like I have to sit here and

be like, hey, don't lick the person I'm connected with, dick. Like, I don't feel

like I have to say that. Like, I think it's just an invisible boundary where I

just don't have to say that. Just also as my friend, and again, just

reciprocating what you want back.

All right, well, I want to bring up a moment that has had so many fans

talking.

Viewers thought that they could hear Ciara screaming in the background while

Alandria was in the confessional.

But that wasn't quite it.

I feel like if I find the right woman, and she's all about me, I'm all about

her, I'm going to give her everything.

I love it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I truly, truly, truly love talking to Zach.

the things that we both align ourselves with kind of match. He's so cute, right?

Am I tripping?

He's so cute, right?

Am I tripping?

No way.

He's so cute, right?

Am I tripping?

He is. I can stand on my down.

He looks fine as hell. Like, for real. I'll be boss.

That's a bonding moment.

I'm glad they don't know.

Like, we don't understand how Iris and Hoda are friends after this. I'm like,

we bonded like that in the villa.

That's so funny.

All right. Well, season seven was a journey. And I am so grateful for each

and every one of you guys.

As someone who's been on a show a lot like this, the takeaway isn't always

finding true love, but finding some great friends.

Let's take a look at the connections that made this summer so special.

I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly shine. Hey, bitches.

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

Hi, baby.

We've got 6'1", 185 pounds, Jeremiah!

That's what I'm trying to... Bitch,

what the fuck?

We fucking with some little kids, bro.

Three musketeers on three. Three musketeers on me. I thought we were

stooges. Oh, shit. Now we musketeers. I like stooges. You like the stooges?

That's funny.

That's funny. Come on.

It's a joke. It's a joke.

It's a joke. It's a joke.

I love you.

You came out with two best friends.

Two brothers, bro.

At the end of the day, we love each other, we troll each other, but we're

boys for life.

I'm screaming.

But I'm like, I need a hug from everybody because I'm so happy to be

here with all of you gorgeous girls.

Hold on, let's take a picture.

You all ready?

This is friendships for life. For real. This is family for life.

Well,

whether it's friendship or romance, love is love, and I, for one, will always be

celebrating it.

Thank you all for an amazing summer.

Love you all so much.

Yes!

They'll want more Love Island? Well, I have good news. It's only three weeks

until we're back on Peacock with Love Island Games.

All of your favorite islanders from around the world, including some of

these guys, will be back in the villa to fight for a second chance at love.

Love Island Games is back Tuesday, September 16th, exclusively on Peacock.

Are we jumping in the pool now?
