[narrator] Brace yourselves, America.

Get ready for love, lust and some very tiny swimsuits.

Welcome to Love Island,

and an unforgettable summer of love here in Fiji.

That's our host, Arielle. I think she's running late.

We'll get back to her later.

[man] This is your captain speaking.

Prepare the cabin for landing on Love Island.

[narrator] Over the next four weeks,

sexy singles will jet into this tropical haven.

They've packed more abs than shirts,

and are all here with one goal.

To find love.

And you're in control.

Voting on all sorts of decisions that impact the show in real time.

How modern.

Ultimately, you'll decide which couple wins the $100,000 prize.

Chaperoning our lovebirds is the elegant, sophisticated,

and classy, Arielle Vandenberg.

[gasps]

Shake it off, babe.

Are you ready?

I'm still ready for love!

Here come the islanders.

[narrator] This is the Love Island villa,

a home away from home for our group of gorgeous singles.

The villa will overflow with flirting, romance,

and a lot of throw pillows.

And what happens during the day in Fiji will hit your screen

that very same night.

So, let's get on with it.

It's time to meet the girls.

[whooping, laughing]

[man singing pop song]

Whoo!

Yes! I'm here! Whoo!

[pop song continues playing]

Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God. -Nice to meet you.

-What's your name? -Alexandra.

-Mine is Caro. -It's so nice to meet you. Oh, my God!

Yes!

-Okay. -Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

[gasps] Girl! Oh, my God!

[Alexandra] No. I don't even know where to start.

Oh, my God! This is so cute!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

-Pop the champagne. -This feels like a dream. I am shook.

[gasps]

Cheers!

I feel so glam. Like, everything's like...

My name is Caro. I'm 21.

I live in Los Angeles, and I'm a marketing student.

I would describe myself as goofy.

Flirty.

-Spicy. -[growls]

I'm humble. That's a bonus.

I recently started loving my hair, I'm trying to own it.

So that would be my number one best quality.

I love dating apps.

You know, it's like you can manage all the boys.

Going to Love Island, it's kind of like a real live dating app.

I really am ready to meet someone that I want to spend my life with.

I am a great girlfriend with the right guy,

and I'm just trying to find the person that has as much love as I do.

-[Caro] Okay, let's cheers. -Okay, cheers. To us finding men.

-To us. To finding our love. -Not falling for losers.

No losers.

And let's have the best summer of our lives.

-Oh, my God! -Yes, girl. The craziest journey.

The craziest journey.

Whoo! Love Island! Let's go!

This is insane. [laughs]

I'm Alexandra. I'm 26.

Originally from Philadelphia, but I now live in Los Angeles.

I'm a beauty publicist in Beverly Hills.

[woman singing pop song]

The men in Los Angeles,

they drive cars they can't afford, and they're 65

and they think they can pick up women that are 20 to 25, which is disgusting.

And that's why I'm in Fiji looking for love.

I'm looking for a guy that is my boyfriend and my best friend.

I'm a puppy. I need attention.

I like to wake up and nuzzle under and be like, "Hi!"

Girl code is one of the most important things to me.

If I make a huge connection with a girl in the villa,

I'm never gonna step on her toes.

My last boyfriend cheated on me.

And I just...

haven't been ready to open up to someone and kind of give my all.

[pop song continues playing]

I think I'm ready to find a guy that has a good personality,

and actually get to know them, and not just go for the looks.

Find me a man, please!

Look at the ocean.

-Oh, my God! -Wait, this is a shower!

-[screams] -Oh, my God!

This is a shower!

This is Instagram worthy! This is Instagram worthy!

Hi, guys.

-[Alexandra, Caro screaming] -Oh, my God!

-Hello, guys. -Oh, my God, you're so hot.

Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting.

-What's your name? -I'm Mallory.

-Mallory. Alex. -Nice to meet you.

-I'm Caro. -Hi, Caro.

-Oh, my gosh. -[chattering]

-I know. Oh, my gosh. -You look stunning.

Thanks. So do you guys.

-So pretty. -My first impression was, "Bombshell!"

[Alexandra] Oh, my God. Are you so excited?

I can't wait to meet the boys.

-Well, cheers! -Cheers, you guys.

Oh, my gosh.

Hi, guys. [laughs]

My name is Mallory. I'm 26. I'm from Portland, Oregon.

I'm an equity analyst for a sportswear company.

[woman singing pop song]

My dating history is a little rocky.

I'll go on a couple of dates, and they'll be really good.

I feel I have a connection, but then the guy just disappears.

I don't think I give off a crazy vibe.

I'm not like, "Date me!" You know?

I still try and play it kind of cool. Kind of.

So, the good thing with Love Island is the guys can't ghost me.

Nowhere to hide. I'll find you.

I am very ready for love. My time is ticking!

I don't want to look old in my wedding pictures.

On my Instagram, I have saved photos of my wedding dress,

the venue, the rings,

kids' names are picked out.

Mallory Jr. has a good ring to it.

Like, I have it all planned out.

I just need a guy. [laughs]

[Caro] So, what's your type?

I like a guy who's artistic and creative.

I like guys who are graphic designers, photographers.

-Nice! -It's kind of hard to find.

I like guys that are pursuers.

If they like me, they will let me know.

If they give me undivided attention, I'm out.

I know. I love funny people.

Like, they have to make me laugh.

[woman singing pop song]

-Hi! -[all chattering]

Oh, my God!

-Oh, my God! -Nice to meet you.

[chattering continues]

[Caro] I'm shook!

-What's your name? -Alana.

-You're stunning. -Thank you.

-Let's go. -Yeah.

I'm Alana. I'm 21, and I'm a student from Connecticut.

If you like good vibes, you'll like me.

[woman singing pop song]

I think my personality is a good quality.

If you're gonna make it physical, I've got a nice butt. I really do.

[pop song continues playing]

Fun fact.

I have never, ever had a boyfriend.

I have been in situation-ships.

It just never works out.

I don't know how to flirt,

but I feel if you end things with a suggestive questioning,

it makes it more sexy.

Are those khakis? Mmm.

Like, who wears khakis?

Are those flip-flops? Ooh!

Like, I've seen a flip-flop.

[laughs]

Oh, man. That's my life.

I need to be in a solid, committed relationship.

I am tired of situation-ships. They can be tiring.

But I'm just gonna let Jesus take the wheel.

Let's see how this turns out.

[laughs]

-[Alana] I love your hair. -[Caro] Thank you.

Yeah. I love it.

Thank you so much.

[screaming, chattering]

Hi, guys.

-How are you? -This is exciting!

-Gorgeous! -Thank you.

-Hi! -Oh, my God, nice to meet you.

I'm, like, so nervous!

-Hi. Elizabeth. -Elizabeth. Nice to meet you.

Do I have to say something?

[laughs]

I'm Elizabeth. I'm 24. I live in New York,

and I work in advertising.

[woman singing pop song]

I'm definitely a good girlfriend, but I'm very dramatic.

Whenever I get the stomach flu, I will lay on the floor in the bathroom

and call my family to say goodbye to me.

Be like, "I'm passing. Come say goodbye."

[laughs]

I have been in love before, once.

I dated a guy,

and a couple of years later, found out he was cheating on me.

Maybe I'm a little more reserved now when it comes to trusting people,

or opening up to finding love.

But I think it's also been enough time

that I would be ready to put myself out there again.

I don't like facial hair.

If I saw a guy with facial hair, I would be, "You're so cute, I'm into you,

but, would you shave your beard and your moustache?"

[man]

He would have to.

-Do you model? -Yeah, I did.

I wouldn't have guessed.

[narrator] Now that the girls have had 7 seconds to really get to know each other,

let's meet our host, Arielle.

[woman singing pop song]

[all laughing, chattering]

-Oh! Look at her! -[all screaming]

-Hi, ladies. -[all cheering]

Who's ready for a summer of love?

-We are! -Whoo!

Yes!

How exciting is this?

-It's insane. -So exciting.

I feel like I'm with all my children.

Hi, guys.

How's everybody doing today?

Good. Excited.

-Excited. -You guys in the mood for love?

Yes.

You've come to the right place for romance. The sun is shining.

We're at a beautiful villa in Fiji.

Pretty soon, you're gonna have some gorgeous guys to share it with.

-Yes! -[excited chattering]

But before you meet them, I need the hot goss.

Caro, what are you looking for?

So, I'm looking for a guy that has genuine intentions,

that actually wants to settle down,

he doesn't just want to have a short-term relationship.

Yeah, I like that.

Mallory, what kind of man are you looking for?

I like a guy who's kind of creative and artistic.

I'm not really into guys who are super macho,

or really into numbers.

You want like a little band guy or something?

-Ideally, yeah. -John Mayer vibes?

Yeah, please!

That's my type, 100%. So, yeah, send him my way.

Perfect. And, Elizabeth?

I do have kind of a defined type sometimes.

-Like what? -Like tall, skinny.

-Alexandra? -Tall, genuine, funny.

Yeah!

Alana, how long have you been single?

Drumroll, please.

[all imitating drumroll]

All my life.

-Oh, snap! -What?

I've never been in a relationship before.

But I'm coming here to change that.

-'Cause I don't like that. -Yes!

You're gonna have your first boyfriend in five minutes.

[cheering, laughing]

I'm excited for you to meet these guys.

-Do you want to meet them? -Yes!

Okay, let's go.

-Okay. -Oh, God.

-Come on down. -Oh, my gosh.

This is it, you guys. This is the moment we've been waiting for.

I've been waiting for it. I bet you have been waiting for it.

You're about to couple up for the first time.

What that means is you have to pair up with one of the boys.

Oh, my gosh, I have goose bumps. Okay.

So, one by one, the lucky guys will enter the villa

and choose one of you to couple up with.

But before we do, I'll ask you to step forward if you're attracted to them.

So, you have the power to influence their decision. Okay?

If you like 'em, you better step forward 'cause they might get snatched up.

-Oh, my God. -We're gonna meet the first boy.

[cheering, chattering]

[Arielle] Oh, my God. I can hardly stand it.

Here we go. Say hello to Cashel.

[laughing]

It's like a Lady Gaga set.

I'm Cashel. I'm 28. I'm from Sacramento, California,

and I play the drums.

[imitating drum fill]

There's definitely some layers to me.

I like to be super-duper out there, but I like alone time.

I like to talk about silly stuff,

but I also like to talk about philosophy.

I guess I'm a walking contradiction.

[woman singing pop song]

I like girls that are confident.

I don't think "picky" is the right word, but I think energies have to match.

And I just haven't found my matching energy.

I've been in love where you feel this bubbly feeling,

things like butterflies.

That's what I'm looking for.

I've never done a dating app.

I'm trying to find someone the organic way,

and the villa could be a very cool situation for that.

Let's do it.

Yes!

-Hi. -Hello.

-How are you feeling today? -I'm good.

-This is cool. -Yeah.

You guys are all so beautiful. This is so cool. It's like a dream.

So, Cashel, Love Island is all about finding your perfect match,

and it all starts right here,

with the decision about who you want to couple up with.

Who's gonna be the chip to your dip?

Who's gonna be the Barbie to your Ken?

Choose wisely, young grasshopper.

Because your decision could affect your fate on the island.

If you end up single, your place in the villa is at risk.

And you could end up being dumped.

All right. So, before you make your decision,

I'm gonna make it a little easier and find out who's attracted to you.

Okay.

So, ladies...

if Cashel is your type, please step forward.

Tough luck.

-They're shy. First boy out. -Aww.

-He looks so sad. -You're the first boy.

Alexandra, why didn't you step forward?

He looks like my ex-boyfriend.

-Fair. -Can't argue with that.

Caro, what about you?

You're very handsome, but you're a bit shy for me.

All right. He doesn't look that shy!

Elizabeth, what about you?

You're so cute, but I don't like facial hair.

So no one stepped forward, but that's okay.

Because it is actually your choice.

Who would you like to couple up with?

Uh, okay.

Um, well,

the girl I would like to couple up with is...

This girl in the orange right here.

Caro.

Go meet Caro.

-Hi, Caro. -Hi.

I'm Cashel. Pleasure to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -Hey.

-You have great hair. -Thank you. You have nice curls too.

Thank you. The curly team. What's up?

Okay.

So, Cashel, what made you pick Caro?

'Cause she thinks I'm shy.

-He wants to prove me wrong. -I want to prove you wrong.

Caro, how do you feel?

I mean, I'm flattered that he chose me.

And let's see. Let's see.

Let's see!

Well, you guys look beautiful together.

We have our first Love Island couple.

Cashel and Caro.

Congratulations.

High five.

All right, ladies, this is just the beginning.

-Shall we get the next boy in? -Yes.

Say hello to Yamen.

[Yamen] Hello, hello, hello.

Oh!

-We give hugs? -We can give hugs. Hi.

I'm Yamen. I'm 24 years old, from Los Angeles,

and I do real estate.

I'm smart. I think I'm pretty smart.

Very compassionate, kind and supportive. I'm a good guy.

What is gonna draw women to me?

Probably my smile, my personality.

My genuine-ity...

Is that a word?

-"Genuine-ity." That's a word, isn't it? -[woman] It is now!

I love a girl to be able to cook because I love to cook,

and my mother, fabulous cook.

She sets a very high standard for a lot of young ladies, for sure.

My ideal girl? She's got a great personality.

She can look like anything. She could be green.

Have orange hair. Purple legs. It's all about the personality.

I'm for sure looking for love.

You get that "whoa" feeling. It's like, "Whoa! Whoa!"

That's when you know. Whoo!

Yamen. So, we already have one gorgeous couple,

but we have four single ladies.

You can couple up with any of these girls. Even if they're already in a couple.

-I'm like... -[Arielle] Mm-hmm.

Caro, even though you're coupled up with Cashel, you can still step forward.

So, if Yamen is your type, please step forward.

-[Yamen chuckles] -[Arielle] Whoo!

[Yamen] Okay, okay.

All right. Well, Alana, why did you step forward?

He's so cute.

-Oh, my God. -Thank you, thank you.

Yamen, it is all your decision.

You can couple up with any of these girls, even if they're in a couple.

Yamen, which girl would you like to couple up with?

The girl I would like to couple up with is...

Alana.

Yamen, please go meet Alana.

Hugs also.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

Alana, are you happy you got your guy?

Yeah! [laughs]

[cheering, chattering]

I got it!

That's awesome.

So, we now have two Love Island couples, Cashel and Caro,

and Yamen and Alana.

Alexandra, Mallory, Elizabeth, you haven't stepped forward yet.

What are you waiting for?

I don't know. I can feel a vibe. I'll just know.

-Mallory, what are you waiting for? -John Mayer.

-John Mayer! -[Cashel] John Mayer.

All right, well, let's see if this next boy fits the bill.

Here's Zac.

[Arielle] What's up?

-Hello. -Hello.

How's everybody doing?

-Hi. We're good. How are you? -I'm good. How are you?

Welcome to Love Island.

My name is Zac. I am 22 years old.

I'm from Chicago, and I work at a grocery store.

[woman singing pop song]

If a girl comes into the grocery store, I'll make it a point to go over there.

Maybe I'll give her, like, a Blue Steel face, or just be like...

I live with my sisters and my mom.

We're a tight-knit family.

If I meet a girl and I like her, and bring her home,

then she has to pass all the sisters, so.

I don't really do social media dating too much.

I just like to try to meet girls organically.

[pop song continues playing]

A girl's biggest misconception of me is that I'm a player,

but I want to mesh with somebody, and really feel that connection.

What kind of girl are you looking for?

I'm looking for a girl who's bubbly, genuine,

just sweet-hearted, yeah.

Mm-hmm. We have three gorgeous single girls,

but you can also choose either of the girls that are coupled up.

But, Zac, I'm gonna ask the girls to please step forward

if Zac is your type.

[Arielle gasps] Oh!

We've got a Mr "Steal your girl" over there. Okay.

Caro, is Zac your type?

Yes. He has gorgeous eyes. I can see it from here. It's just...

Seductive eyes.

Those "come to me" eyes.

Cashel, how are you feeling?

I'm sorry!

Hey, you can't compete with "come to me" eyes, man.

Damn, okay.

[laughs] Fair enough.

So, Mallory, this is the first time you've stepped forward.

What's up? Tell me.

I like the hair. I like the tattoo.

Got a good tan.

-And, Elizabeth? -You seem really nice.

-Alexandra, why didn't you step forward? -I knew you were gonna ask me that.

-What are you waiting for? -I don't know.

I'm waiting for my man to walk in.

Confident. I like that.

All right, Zac, you can pick any of the five girls.

So, who would you like to couple up with?

The girl that I would like to couple up with is...

-I think Elizabeth is lovely. -Elizabeth!

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

-Don't feel bad. Step up. It's all good. -I'm sorry.

-Zac, what made you choose Elizabeth? -I think she has really beautiful eyes.

Mallory, this is the first time you stepped forward.

You didn't get picked. Are you okay?

I noticed. I'm all good.

And, Caro, you stepped forward.

Cashel, are you happy to take her back?

-Absolutely. -I'm like, "Oops!"

That never happened!

-Forget all about that. -I'm good.

We have our third Love Island couple, Zac and Elizabeth. Congratulations.

Yes, get it!

Get it for me, girl.

So we have three happy couples,

and two lovely single girls still looking for a boy.

-Could this be the one? -Let's hope.

Yeah? All right. Well, let me introduce you to Weston.

[woman singing pop country song]

I'm Weston. I'm 25. I live in Dallas, Texas,

and... I forgot what I was going to say.

What am I doing? Okay.

I'm Weston. I'm 25. I live in Dallas, Texas,

and I'm a photographer.

My roots are boots. I'm born and raised in the country.

I am a real cowboy. Double denim is the only thing.

I'm the best boyfriend you could ever ask for.

I open up every door. I never let a girl pay.

Can build anything, fix anything, which is kind of a good quality.

When I was 20 years old, I built my house from the ground up.

Two things I do. I do a pickup line and a joke.

What did the pants say to the suspenders?

What's up, britches?

Ah!

I would love a real girl, down to earth, knows what she wants.

There's nothing more attractive.

I'm just a cowboy trying to find my angel, on an island.

-You look ready for a summer of love. -I am ready. Let's do it.

Welcome to Love Island. Look at these gorgeous ladies.

-Hello. How are y'all? -Hello.

-What are you looking for in a girl? -A beautiful heart.

There's a lot of beautiful people here, but a heart's gonna win me over.

To bring you up to speed, we have three couples,

and there's also two gorgeous single girls.

But you can choose to couple up with any of the girls.

So, ladies, please step forward if Weston is your type.

No deal.

Hey, you're not the only one, bro!

-Don't worry. -It happens.

No? Mallory, why didn't you step forward?

I just like darker hair. But I do like your southern accent.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

I was just about to say, I love a southern boy,

but I don't know. I'm just holding out.

You get to choose any of the girls, even if they didn't step forward.

I have the power.

All righty.

Who are you gonna go for?

I am going to couple up with...

Miss Pink. Pink bathing suit.

-Mallory. -Thank you.

Yay! Go meet Mallory.

-Hello. -Hello.

-How are you? -I'm a hugger.

-Nice to meet you. -Hugs. I'm Weston, nice to meet you.

[Arielle] All right, so we have our fourth couple, Weston and Mallory.

Congratulations.

How's it going, guys? How are y'all?

This is so fun.

All right, so we have one single girl

waiting for her knight in shining armour.

Is it the next guy?

If not, that's awkward.

Ladies, please welcome Michael.

-How are you? What's up? -How are you?

-Good. -Hi.

Hello. Welcome to Love Island.

[woman singing pop song]

What's up?

I'm Michael. I'm 29. I'm from Miami, and I'm a model.

I do wake up looking like this.

Minus the shirt and the pants.

I think being this good-looking is a gift and a curse.

Because people make assumptions, and judge you.

Like, I'm probably this dude that's just into himself.

But that's not me.

I love all animals.

My dogs are awesome.

They're two little fat French bulldogs, Kate and Sawyer.

They're cute little bunnies.

They are my life, my heart.

So, if you don't like dogs, it's just not gonna work.

I'm vegan by choice, and I would love you to be vegan with me,

but it's not like that's a set thing that I have to have.

My perfect girl? I definitely look for...

nice booty and nice beauty.

Definitely looking for love. That's why I'm here. Trying to find that one.

Why did you come to Love Island?

To find someone special, potentially.

-Yeah? All right. -Yeah.

So standing in front of you are four couples,

and one smoking-hot single, Alexandra.

But the good news for you is you can choose any of the girls,

even if they're coupled up.

But before you do, let's find out if any of them are interested in you.

Ladies...

if you're feeling Michael, please step forward.

I'm so sorry.

[chattering, laughing]

[Arielle] All the things are happening.

Well, Alexandra, this is the first time

you've stepped forward for anybody. You're feeling good?

Yeah, I got a good vibe.

-Awesome. -Awesome.

-Caro. -Yes. Confident.

-He seems mature, and I like that. -I like that too.

-How are you doing, Cashel? -I see that. I see this guy.

Weston, how are you feeling?

Hey, he's a good-looking guy.

[Mallory] So are you. Everybody here is beautiful.

You look like the doctors on those shows.

I see you walking out, I was like, "Okay!"

I'm good, but okay!

Okay. I like that.

Michael, it's all up to you.

Don't forget, you can choose any girl you want.

Who would you like to couple up with?

I'm gonna couple up with...

Alexandra.

Alexandra!

Nice. All right.

Go meet Alexandra.

-What's up? -Hi. Nice to meet you.

So, we have five couples:

Michael and Alexandra,

Cashel and Caro,

Weston and Mallory,

Yamen and Alana,

Zac and Elizabeth.

So, I wish you all luck, as the choices you've made

could decide how long you stay in the villa.

I'm so jealous.

You'll now spend time getting to know each other,

playing games together,

living together, and even sharing a bed together.

But this is Love Island.

So you never know who's gonna come through that door,

or from that beach.

So on that note, please welcome Kyra.

Hey, I'm Kyra. I'm 22 years old.

I'm originally from Harlem, New York City,

and I sing and play guitar.

[woman singing pop song]

I can be very sexy, very flirtatious,

a little bit of a heartbreaker.

I don't really have a type with men,

I kind of go for whatever I'm into at that time.

But I do get the guy a lot.

If a dude's not gonna dance with me, I'm like, "How are we gonna have any fun?"

How are you ever gonna lose yourself in the moment?

I fall really fast. I fall really hard.

So you'll know how I feel the second that I get to know you.

I'm feeling really, really good.

I'm excited to get in. I'm gonna turn the fun up.

If I see someone that I like, I'll go for it and give my best shot.

It's Love Island.

You have to go for what you want.

-Hi. -Hi, Kyra.

Hello.

Kyra, you're a little late to the party,

-as all the boys have been coupled up. -I know.

I see that. Damn.

But in the next 24 hours,

you will get to choose one of these boys to couple up with,

leaving one of the girls single, and vulnerable.

Girls, you're looking a bit worried.

Alexandra, what's going through your mind?

That she's stunning and perfect.

Thank you. No, no.

I hope she finds a guy, too.

-Just not mine. -So sweet.

Yeah. "Just not this one."

Caro, what do you think?

You're super cute, so bubbly, and I hope you do find a guy.

-Thank you. I love your hair, girl. -Thank you.

Yamen, what do you think?

Yeah, the bathing suit's nice. She seems very cool, very fun.

-Thank you. -I mean, I'm happy.

We'll see. It's a long journey, or whatever this is.

Zac, what about you? How are you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good. I think she's pretty lovely.

Um, I think she came in with high energy. We'll see.

-What are you looking for in a boy? -I like a dude, honestly,

that, like, just stands up for what he's into.

I don't like the norm, trying to be something that you're not.

If you've got something special or unique, I'm super here for that. Yeah.

-I love it. -We're all a little weird on the inside.

Don't even get me started.

I'm so weird.

I'm such a weirdo, yeah. It comes out.

-It's good. Weird is good. -Good.

I'm gonna leave you guys to start your life-changing summer together.

There's gonna be romantic dates, villa parties,

islanders coming and going,

all as you search for love.

And don't forget. America is watching.

Literally, in real time.

And they will be voting for their favourite couple.

And that winning couple could win $100,000.

-Ooh! -[cheering, chattering]

Let's go!

Well, bye for now,

and, Kyra, enjoy the single life.

Thank you.

-Bye, guys. -Bye!

Bye!

-Did you just copy my "bye"? -Me?

-Yeah. -No.

-Yes, you did. -Maybe.

-Do I walk towards you guys now? -Yeah!

I want to meet everyone.

Hi, beautiful.

-What's up, dude? -What's up?

[narrator] Now, the islanders begin to form real relationships

amongst all those fake flowers.

The females are perfect. The settings are perfect.

Honestly, this is a paradise.

[Caro] Okay, so... Okay.

-What was his name? -Cashel.

I'm gonna call him Cashew. I literally don't know...

-Cashew. -Cash?

How do you say his name? Cash...

You could already start the nickname, and it's going with Cash.

It wasn't an initial attraction. I don't think he's my type.

The fact that I can't say his name,

maybe it's a sign from the universe that it's not meant to be.

But you know what, I usually don't know how to pronounce...

I can't even say "pronounce."

...pronounce things, so it's okay.

-[Caro] What do you think about your guy? -Mine? He's really nice.

He's not my type, but he's nice, and easy to talk to.

He's outgoing, I can be quiet. If I had gotten a shy guy,

it would have been like...

Zac and Michael, I'm sorry. They're so cute!

Well, I only stepped forward for Michael.

But all the guys, honestly, are so hot,

and like, we don't know them yet,

so it's hard to figure out who you actually click with.

It was kind of off just, "Who do you think is hot?"

-You don't model, dude? -No.

-You could easily model. -I work at a grocery store.

You should model, dude.

You've got dark hair, the blue eyes.

Three girls stepped forward for me, which was exciting.

Definitely, I guess, an ego boost.

Elizabeth's the girl I would have picked if she stepped forward or not.

So are you guys satisfied?

I'm happy with my couple.

I chose Alana, because something in her eyes seemed confident.

She seemed like she had a nice personality.

-I like mine. -Yeah.

-[chattering] -Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours.

But I would do either a wild card...

I feel like if my hunch is right,

I think we're gonna get on very well.

I think... I think he has good taste in women.

I think Caro is B-A-D bad.

I'm way into it, dude. I'm way into it.

Attraction starts it, but there's so much more after that.

Hold up, hold up. We've got to talk about Miss Kyra.

She has a great body, but, dude, her personality was like,

awesome, from what I saw.

[Kyra] They're all freaking cute. I was really surprised.

I was so scared that I was gonna see nobody.

But no, your two guys,

just 'cause there's definitely, like, something cool about them.

[Kyra] Zac and Yamen are definitely catching my eye.

It's so tough, because I don't want to step on another girl's shoes.

We're all out there meshing, getting along.

So, in 24 hours, I'm gonna have to choose someone. Eek!

-You have really nice eyes. -Thank you.

Rolling up to all of these beautiful women,

-everybody's looking on point. -You were the first guy.

Nobody steps forward. I was like,

"Well, I'm just gonna go with the cutest girl."

-And that was you. -Really?

She's got this great hair.

Did you like my hair, or did you think I was cute?

Do you just like my hair?

-You want to be coupled up with my hair? -No. It's nice, though.

You stepped off for other guys, but I'm cool with that.

-I'm sorry! -No, no. Don't be sorry.

I'm the type of girl that, it was, like--

For me, the reason why I didn't step forward to you

is 'cause I felt you were a bit shy.

I feel mean saying this, but I'm honest.

Just give it to me straight.

I am attracted to Michael.

[Cashel] Who isn't attracted to Michael?

And Zac. But like...

You're so handsome,

and your personality makes you even more attractive.

Thanks.

I am super excited to get to know you.

-We're gonna have a lot of fun. -Yes.

It's okay, right, for me to go around and talk to...

-Dude, I'm gonna do the same thing. -Okay, perfect.

I wanna know everybody in here.

You and me are right here. I can feel it.

-We a team. -I know!

We're the Cs. Double C. CC!

-What's up? -CC!

I nailed it.

Me and Caro are having so much fun. She's super funny.

We're right on the same wavelength.

Catch a breeze.

Yeah, there's this badass balcony. Check it out.

[Kyra] That's dope. And there's a nice breeze.

-This is sweet. -That feels good.

-This is so dope. -Dude, this is the life right here.

This is cool!

I wanna go in the pool.

-With an ocean view? -Yeah.

-Can't see the ocean now. -Not right now.

I'm hoping we get some stars too.

Yeah. I'm ready for a drink tonight. Like, to dance.

Dance party! Me too!

What's your signature dance move?

-It's this? -No. I don't know.

I mean, I get real low.

You get real low with it.

-This is where I stay. -Damn. I like that.

You gotta get the-- If your thighs aren't burning, you know.

That's how you have those awesome thighs!

I'm more, like, I'm a hips girl. You've got to...

-Got to work those hips. -You do the salsa.

-Do they lie? -My hips? Sometimes.

I can't-- You're distracting me.

Okay, fine.

[narrator] It's time for a party.

What are you wearing tonight?

I'm gonna slick it down more, and then wet the curls to make it pop.

Ooh!

My hair's naturally dark, but I do dye it.

-I don't even see any lint. -It's at the lower end.

-I picked out your outfit! -Okay.

-Are you guys picking each other's? -Yes.

That's cute.

Here we go!

[cheering, chattering]

Guys, to finding love!

[cheering]

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Anybody want to country dance?

Where do you learn this stuff?

[upbeat pop song playing]

-How are you feeling? -This is... I'm okay.

It's like, I go through waves of being okay, and then I'm like...

[gasps]

But it's, like, just tomorrow...

The recoupling's in 24 hours. That's so no time at all.

I know. And I feel like I can't make any step

that someone's not gonna be like...

I don't wanna play with people's emotions.

-You know? -Yeah.

You didn't put your whole life on hold to come out here, and look for something,

and then not try it when you feel something.

I love you already!

I think if somebody doesn't understand that,

then, like, I don't know, more on them.

I guess it's like reading vibes.

And some people seem already so, like, signed, sealed, delivered.

And I'm like, "It's day one."

But no, everyone's so nice.

But it's the first night. Everyone's on good behaviour.

You know?

I'm worried.

It's like the calm before the storm.

I mean, it's the first day, and I feel like that.

I definitely just have to go for what I want.

And I do have my eye on someone, for sure.

So I just have to do what's right for me.

[Yamen] So, why are you single? What's going on?

Why I'm single?

Why ain't you got any little Maine boyfriends running around?

"Alana, Alana! Let me take you to dinner!"

Funny. I've never been in a relationship before.

Um... I...

Like, never be-- Yeah, never, like...

-Um... -Dang.

-So, you've never had a boyfriend? -No.

-I'm not gonna lie. That's surprising. -Really?

You know, not having had a boyfriend. It's not like-- Whoo!

It's more like, hmm.

'Cause I've only ever been in two relationships.

-So... -How were those?

The first one, I was like 17. I was young. Didn't know what I was doing.

And then my next relationship,

I got my little heart broken in that situation.

I mean, I feel like I'm finally, you know, at that point,

where I'm like, "Okay."

"All right, bring it on."

I'm excited. I'm gonna continue to work on my situation with Yamen.

And then he's gonna become my bae-man.

-Where are we? -We're gonna run, get in the pool...

-Do you want a piggyback? -Yeah.

-Do you want to wear my hat? -Yeah.

-Are you ready? -Yeah. One, two, three.

Oh, God, okay.

Oh, my God. Go, cowboy!

This is my horse.

I have to ask. What is this tattoo?

All right, so...

Oh, no, is this like really stupid?

-I'm guessing it is. -It didn't-- So it doesn't--

When I got it, it originally just like, it didn't have a meaning.

I just really liked the three bands around the arm.

I saw, like, somebody have it around their wrist,

but if it was to signify something, it would represent my three sisters.

-Okay. -Yeah.

That's cute.

You've been solo for a while, right? Single?

Yeah, I have not gone out with anyone, like, in a year.

-Yeah, me too. -Really? You haven't either?

-I haven't even had sexual contact. -Me neither!

-Straight up. It's been so long. -"I haven't felt the touch of a man..."

It's unbelievable. People look at me, they're like, "Shut up!"

I'm like, "I'm serious, dude." I did it to myself.

You just want someone you can talk to.

-Yeah, have an actual connection. -Exactly.

Chemistry.

-Passion, you know? -Yeah.

-I'm just gonna spill the tea. -Okay, let's hear it.

I really like him,

but as, like, a weird, like, friendship.

-Oh, no! -No, it's friendship, but we flirt.

I feel like we'll have a little cuddle... It's so weird--

It's hard with him, because me and him, it's so fun...

You guys have, like, fiery...

You're just laughing constantly.

You think-- It feels like I know him.

Wait, so, who were you thinking?

So, so far, I'm definitely most attracted to Yamen.

-Okay. -Yeah.

-He's really confident. -I like his personality.

-Sexy. -Yeah.

And then Weston.

-Such a great personality. -Yeah.

I don't know what's going on with Kyra. She said she liked Yamen and Weston.

It kind of makes me nervous,

I don't want someone to steal the person I'm talking to.

I'm a little scared, but we'll see.

Girl, are you good if I pull Weston aside for a chat?

Yeah, do whatever you want.

-Weston, can I talk to you for a second? -Yeah.

We'll get wet probably, though. That's not gonna be fun.

[Kyra squeals]

[Weston] I'm soaked. I love it.

-I wanted to pull you aside, because... -Yeah, what's up?

Out of everyone here, you're definitely...

Like, personality, and everything-wise.

Thank you. I've got to give you a lot of credit.

-How are you feeling? -I'm good.

Like, I just kind of want to go for what I'm seeing.

I know that everyone's coupled up, but like...

-What are you feeling? -I'm feeling you, for sure.

-Really? -Yeah, just dancing tonight.

And you're straight-up yourself.

I am. That's-- I'm real.

Kyra, she's a sweet girl,

and she's very forward, which I really like.

It takes a lot of nerve, especially when we're coupled up with people.

You're not my normal type, at all.

-No? No boots? -No, no boots.

-No country boys. -What's your normal type?

Like, city dudes. Like, definitely more edgy.

Never in my life have I dated a boy from the country,

that has the accent and all that stuff.

We have so many differences. That's what attracts me to him.

I've got a whole lot of sass. Yeah, yeah.

-Can you handle that? -We'll see.

[Mallory] I feel very scared.

Why? Why do you feel scared?

-You feel scared? -Yeah.

I really think she's gonna pick Weston.

-[Caro] No! -Really?

She liked Yamen, Zac and Weston.

She said Zac. Oh, my God, I'm gonna die.

Just tell her today before you go to bed, like, "Oh, my God, Weston."

Just express, "Oh, my God. Weston!"

I know. Like, really...

Yeah, we have to now be like...

-Secure your man. -Yeah.

[man singing pop ballad]

What's up, dude?

-Are you ready for bed? -No, I've got to shower.

Oh.

Don't look at my hair.

I love brushing teeth with people.

Mm-hmm?

'Cause there's something very intimate about brushing your teeth.

-You know what I mean? -Mm-hmm.

[both chuckling]

[pop ballad continues playing]

[chattering]

We about to look nerdy as hell sleeping right now.

-[Yamen laughs] -[Alana giggling]

That is so funny.

You guys look like you're married already.

As in, like, both with your glasses on, you're in your robe.

Oh, my God, a roach.

-No! -I'm only joking.

-Good night! -Good night!

Good night, everyone.

[pop ballad continues playing]

-[gasps] -There we are.

Oh, my God, it's really dark.

[pop ballad continues playing]

[narrator] It's a new day in paradise,

and our sleeping beauties are... getting their beauty sleep.

The couples are:

Zac and Elizabeth,

Mallory and Weston,

Alexandra and Michael,

Yamen and Alana,

Caro and Cashel

and Kyra,

who's dreaming of the man she'll steal in tonight's recoupling ceremony.

Okay, let's wake 'em up.

Hit the lights!

-[man singing pop song] -[all murmuring]

Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

Where are those flipping goggles at?

-How are you, Kyra? -I'm good. How are you?

Good, thanks.

-You look very nice. -Thank you.

Are you rocking Daisy Dukes?

I'm gonna wait for the sun to come out before I hit these Daisy Dukes.

We've got to talk later. I felt...

I felt, like, when you came in,

I felt like we had the same situation.

I feel like we actually have a lot in common.

We do. We should talk later.

-Yeah. Just pull me aside. -I will.

Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, my God. Did you guys talk all night while you were in bed?

We were spooning.

And it was so, like...

Like, his breath was right here.

You know when people talk right here, it's like-- Ooh!

It's either really creepy or hot.

Yeah. I was like, "Oh, my God."

I haven't felt male energy in so long.

That I was like, "Oh, my God!" Like, "What are you doing to me?"

And he so cute. Like, he's so cute.

What's up?

Just nervous for today in making that decision.

Where's your head at?

So, like, I think...

Weston, definitely.

I would never go for a country boy.

Like, never in my life.

Think how fun he would be to get to know.

I was like, "I think you're hella cute."

He did the little leg brush. So, okay, there's something.

You know, if it was strictly... But no.

Well, then there's Yamen too, who I think is super cute.

-He's so cute. -Yeah.

I just get along with him. It feels like a guy back at home.

So I'm just, like... I don't clearly know yet.

I do just wanna watch from here.

[narrator] Weston and Zac are already so close,

they're wearing each other's hats.

Let's hear what they're saying about Kyra down at the bro-deo.

What about you and Kyra?

Man, she pulled me aside, she was honest.

Even from the first get-go,

she was comfortable in her own skin, which is so attractive.

Her personality.

It took a lot of nerve to drag me to a private spot

and tell me how she feels, so I respect that.

And you know, I like her personality.

I'm getting to know Mallory,

but personality-wise, I think I'm probably more into Kyra.

Yeah.

But, you know, I'm gonna figure out what's best.

I'm not putting all my marbles in one box.

[narrator] Before Kyra decides whether she wants Yamen in her future,

she opens up about her past.

-It's so hard to find someone to, like... -So hard.

...actually date.

It's hard, and I wish I started dating before moving out.

How long was your relationship before that?

Like two years. And it was with a girl.

Don't run away! [laughing]

Sit back down. You don't have to act crazy like that.

-Don't act crazy like that. -You're just gonna slide that in?

Why does that have to be a big deal?

Why can't I just slide that in?

-Literally left field. -You weren't expecting that?

Never.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

-I'm talking to you. -Okay, okay.

-I'm about to share my business. -I'm not--

My bad. That was my-- Whoa!

Yeah, yeah.

So, when was your last relationship?

Maybe like two and a half, three years ago.

You've only been super chill.

There's the flirts around the house already.

There's some flirts around the house?

But you seem very chill.

I'm just trying to see, like...

For me, it's like, that personality.

Where I can just sit and talk all day.

-We're good. -Good. We're chilling.

-Entertaining, like, bad. -Yeah.

-You know? -Yeah, I agree with that.

I was up there talking to Elizabeth, and you were down here, and I was like...

Hmm.

I noticed how you came out in your shorts and glasses, and I was like, hmm.

Oh, no, no.

-I found that so damn cute. -No.

You had it going on.

I appreciate it, but no, you're lying.

You never know. I guess you never know.

There's so many cute guys here,

and already I'm seeing the personalities that I'm super attracted to.

Fiji is my sandbox, and I'm ready to play.

[woman singing pop song]

[narrator] With Kyra's decision looming, Caro, and her sunglasses,

coach the girls on keeping their men.

Okay, so, the tea.

So, Michael said...

Wait, let's all get on one bed.

-One bed. One sound. -Come over.

-One bed. -No, I like this.

-Okay, fine. This is so close. -I love it.

You know what you should do? You should do this, too.

You talk to Weston, and you talk to Yamen about recoupling.

I feel like you should do that.

What does that have to do with anything? My thing is, she decides who she picks.

Maybe Kyra's gonna pick whoever, but do they wanna be with her, really?

See where their head is at, what happens if they pick your guy,

and then it's like, you talk to him after the fact?

I guess I'll talk to him.

Yeah. Just be like, "What are your thoughts about her?"

If he is interested, you know.

You guys... [murmuring]

-How are you doing? -Good.

-How are you feeling? Are you nervous? -I'm so nervous.

How are you gonna make the decision?

I have a couple of ideas of what I'm gonna do.

-But I don't-- -A couple!

But I don't know...

-[Caro laughing] -You're scary!

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm totally kidding.

Just make it real!

-But that's okay. -Oh, my God. Plot twist.

You like me. I trust you.

Who do you have a connection with?

There's probably three guys that I'm...

Three! Who's the third?

-I'm not saying. -Where your head's at?

Don't have any ideas in your head.

How about you guys?

I'm really starting to like him. I really am.

And now I'm just like,

like, the whole attraction's there towards you.

-Thanks. -And it's like...

I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket,

but right now, it feels like I did.

Like I am. Or I will.

[Cashel] Do you wanna step outside with me real quick?

[Caro] Yeah.

Kyra and I said, "Hey, let's chat later."

-When did she say that to you? -I don't know. Before we all came outside.

Can I be honest with you guys?

-The third guy is definitely, like... -Cash.

Yeah. But I feel like it's impossible. It's impossible.

Me and him, we made a deal to have the communication open.

He can flirt with everybody. I can flirt. It's all cool,

as long as we talk about it.

I wanted to tell you, boo.

I was on my way.

I was on my way, but then everything else just happened first.

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, boo. -[Caro moaning]

-What would you do if she picks you? -I don't know.

-Can you not sleep in the same bed as her? -We haven't even talked.

We haven't even talked.

'Cause now I don't want you to go with her.

I know I said, "You can have him," but she can't have you.

Are we cool? I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.

[gasps] Oh, my God, that was our first kiss!

I ended up kissing him!

I kissed him.

-You're so sneaky. -[squeals]

You're so sneaky.

I feel like I'm actually liking Cashel.

And this is like, so weird.

I don't know if I should, like,

like, make it like, "We're not gonna see other people."

But I don't think we should, because this is day two.

So, where's your head at?

Um, no, I know. I've, um...

I don't know.

Like, yeah, I'm, like, catching your vibes over here. Yeah.

You have a good poker face, though. I can't really read you.

Okay. I'm gonna move this pillow, 'cause it's blocking my vibes.

Um...

I just want to say, you're just really cute.

-You're really cute. Thank you. -I got this, like, I don't know...

-Just the way... -You make me shy.

The way that you're smirking, I'm kind of getting shy, too.

But I kind of like that.

If I don't get that little bit of fluttery nerves, it's not a good sign.

-There's definitely a flutter. -There's a little flutter.

-There's a little flutter here. -Yes.

Cashel brought it up that he was feeling those flutters.

And that's hard for a girl.

I didn't come here to play it on the safe side.

I could go with the guy that I feel comfortable with,

I could go with the guy that I'm just sexually attracted to,

or I could go with the guy that's probably the riskiest decision,

and might make some people very unhappy.

-Kyra! -Yeah?

Oh, my God. I need to talk to you.

-Me? -Yeah.

Okay, so, how was it with Cashel?

He didn't tell me anything, and I'm disappointed in that.

So I want to hear it from you.

I know you want me to tell you an answer, and know everything,

but I really just have no clue what I want to do.

I'm coupled up with him, and I feel like if you're considering him,

maybe just talk to me, or just tell me what's happening.

For sure, I said three boys.

And he was one of them.

But you didn't tell me that.

I didn't know you told him you were going to talk to him.

-My goal today was to talk to everyone. -Yeah.

Because of the situation tonight.

[Caro] So, right now, I feel like me and Cashel are in a good place,

but I'm feeling really uneasy about this recoupling.

I don't really know what to expect.

I'm shaking in my boots because the decision I'm gonna make

is probably the most risky one.

But I didn't come here to play it on the safe side.

I have to follow my gut.

I'm actually really curious to see what's gonna end up happening.

My gut was telling me that she was gonna choose

between Weston and Yamen.

People came in here a little nervous, not wanting to step on anybody's toes.

But this is Love Island. You've got to follow your heart.

[Cashel] There's lots of different types of ships,

ships that pass in the night, ships that float,

but the best kinds of ships are friendships.

-Whoo! -Whoo!

And I'm very pleased to make everybody's acquaintance

-and start all these friendships. -Spoken like a true gentleman.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-To Jesus! -To Jesus!

-[text alert chimes] -I've got a text.

[all cheering]

[all gasping, cheering]

My heart just started thumping.

[chattering]

I am a little nervous. My head's kind of all over the place.

I just don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen.

I'm not gonna be bored at the recoupling,

because there's definitely gonna be some drama.

I don't know why I'm emotional.

I didn't think this whole Kyra recoupling thing

was gonna affect me that much.

It's very overwhelming.

"Kyra, it's decision time.

Please reveal which boy you've chosen to couple up with.

#singlenomore."

[woman singing pop song]

So, it's been super hard,

being the last girl to come to the island, and to have to make this decision.

But I feel like any girl in my situation

would just have to kind of follow what she's feeling.

And we all came here for a reason, so I just wanna follow my gut.

What attracted me to this boy

was the fact that I think he's truly himself,

and he doesn't care what other people think.

I think being unique and being bold is super cool, and super attractive to me.

It makes me feel like I can be myself...

let my walls down, which kind of takes some time.

[pop song continues playing]

I feel comfortable with him,

and, yeah, I kind of just wanna see where the journey goes with him.

So the boy that I want to couple up with is...

[narrator] Next on Love Island...

So the boy that I want to couple up with...

is...

[narrator] You didn't think you'd find out that easily, did you?

I feel like it took a lot of people off guard.

Like, he should have told you when we were talking.
