-From our studio

teetering on a cliff above the villa,

it's "Love Island USA Aftersun."

-I'm Maura Higgins,

and here's what's coming up on tonight's jam-packed "Aftersun."

Ariana Madix gives the inside scoop

on the most dramatic week yet.

Cely, Leo, and Jess dive into all the dirt and drama.

Andrea, Hakeem, and Connor set their stories straight.

JaNa and Serena join us live from the beach hut,

and we meet Casa Amor's class of '24

before they're let loose on the islanders.

Plus loads, loads more. "Aftersun" is locked and loaded.

Let's do this.

Live from Fiji,

welcome to "Love Island USA Aftersun."

The villa drama leveled off again this week

but next week promises to go even further.

That's because of the two most terrifying words on Love Island.

No, not Rob and Leah. I mean Casa Amor.

Yes. Casa is just around the corner.

Luckily, so are my panelists.

First, my "Aftersun" ride-or-die.

It's Cely!

Hi! Aw!

And he was a big player in Season 5.

And I mean player quite literally.

It's Leo!

Sorry, not sorry!

-Sorry, not sorry.

- Did you like that line? - I liked it. I liked it.

Good try, good try. What up, Cely?

-And we can hear her all the way from Australia.

We thought we should see her, as well.

It's Jess!

-What's up, Jess?

-You missed us too much.

-I know. I had to come back.

-Thank you so much for joining me.

- Thanks for having us. - Have you guys met Leo before?

-This is my first time meeting Leo.

-Yeah, this is our first time just now, yeah.

- It's good to see you, Leo. - Likewise, likewise.

-Does being back in Fiji bring back memories?

-Good and bad, good and bad.

-I was going to say. Is it good or bad?

-I mean, mainly good.

Like, I made a lot of friends here, so I can't complain.

-But I think you know what's coming next.

- I know what's coming next. - I'm waiting. I'm waiting.

-I have to ask about Kassy

because you guys were runners-up.

- Yeah. - Cute couple.

-Yeah, it was looking promising. I know.

- Yeah, it was. What happened? - I mean, it was all...

It was all sweet and all.

But then we left and went to the real world.

I was caught up in school.

I wasn't, like, the best at times.

She wasn't the best at times.

But then we just decided, like,

let's just not keep forcing this relationship at that point.

-Cely, you've been meeting all the dumped Islanders.

-Yes.

-Who are you most excited to see?

-Probably Andrea. I want to hear what she has to say.

Yeah. I'm excited.

-I feel like after having some time to process,

she might be like, "Hold up.

My man really didn't fucking leave with me."

-Really played her ass.

-Would you be pissed about that?

-Hell, yeah!

-How long did they know each other?

What, like, less than a week?

-I know. I get it. I know it was like four days.

But I would be upset, like,

because he said he was leaving and then said he wasn't.

Like, where was the switch-up? You know?

-I just thought the theatrics of it was crazy.

He was like, "you're sending me home!"

-The alligator tears was like, "Nah, I'm good."

-I mean, he's the talk of the show.

- Yeah. - He's doing it right.

- Yeah, he is. - He's doing his thing.

He's doing his thing. - Okay.

The villa looks nothing like it did last week.

So, let's rewind and recap to see how we got here.

-Shh!

-We have chosen to dump Hakeem.

-Andrea.

-What the fuck, y'all?

- Rob, what's going on? - I'm leaving.

I think I'm gonna stay.

-That's a fuck decision.

-I know who I do want to really get to know.

-When we talked, he kissed me.

But it doesn't change how I feel about you.

-If you want to explore new connections,

you can leave the dance floor.

That's so fucked.

-Aw, man.

- Shit! - What?!

-Don't miss my mouth.

-Beautiful smile, beautiful lips.

-Like, I tried to be very, like, back seat on everything.

-She told me she took a back seat.

She wanted nothing to do with it.

-You're joking.

You, Kaylor, and Serena voted for her.

- I never said a back seat... - You did say that.

- I'm not gonna lie. - Liv, shut the fuck up.

-Own your own fucking actions.

-I just want to let you know my doors are shut.

Don't have to worry about me.

-Whoa! Welcome to your first day of "Love Island," guys.

-Dude, no fucking way, bro.

-So, you think I could get to know you a little bit more?

-Holy shit just hit the fan, baby.

-The boy I want to couple up with is Rob.

-Miguel.

-Wow! Plenty to talk about.

- Yeah. - Plenty.

-It's been a week of brutal dumpings.

My God.

-We're tarting with Hakeem and Andrea.

- But poor Hakeem, right? - My God.

How do you get dumped in the villa?

And they're like doing all the theatrics.

Hakeem's like, "Damn!" Ain't nobody give a fuck.

- Yeah. - Shit was crazy.

-I think, like, watching that, my mouth was like...

the whole time. - I knew what they were doing.

-What was the biggest shock, though?

-Rob and Andrea had a really good connection, too.

So, for that to break up so quickly was just crazy, right?

-She did "Love Island" right. Like, she's a bombshell.

She went for who she wanted,

and they still sent that ass packing.

-Yeah. I think, as well, with "Love Island,"

like, I think people forget

that friendships really come out of the show.

And if you're just focusing on one person and one person only,

you are really shooting yourself in the foot.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

-I don't like that they're making it out

to be like, "Okay, was Andrea Leah's choice, probably?"

Yes. But she didn't,

like, calculate this whole master plan

to get Andrea to leave.

Like, that's fucked that they're placing it all

just because she has a history with Rob.

-Yeah, they're pointing the fin... I don't like that, either.

-Yeah, I don't like that.

-Do you think Rob should have left with her?

- Yes. - Yeah.

-After all the boohoo tears?

Instantly packed that shit up that night.

- Okay. - If I'm crying over my girl.

-Would you have left after four days of meeting a girl?

-If after four days of meeting girl, I'm like, "Look,

I lov... I don't know. I don't know."

Yeah.

-We've got Andrea coming up on the show.

-I'm so excited.

-We need to talk about the big blow-up between Leah and Liv.

- Yeah. - What did you make of that?

-I thought was brilliant to watch!

-Same!

-I'm a big Liv fan. I love her. I think out of everybody,

she is a realist in there.

I think it's so important to have a friend

who's going to pull you in line if you're doing the wrong thing.

-I think everyone needs a friend like that, right?

- I agree. - Yeah.

-Yeah? Leah also ended things with Connor this week.

She said, "It's not you. It's me.

Ouch. How do you recover from that?

-That's the last thing any man wants to hear.

-Ooh!

-That's the last thing anyone wants to hear.

-Yeah, you right. You right.

-I feel so bad for him because Connor is such a nice guy.

He's a nice guy in there.

And this sort of showed that nice guys finish last.

-Dead last.

-I feel like he's upset about the way,

like, Leah treated him.

But I'm like, isn't that kind of how he treated JaNa?

Like, he kind of used her as like a little,

"Let me stay in the villa card"

and then moved on to Leah like that

and then was making shady comments about JaNa.

Like, where did that come from?

-Yeah, I didn't like that, actually, yeah.

It didn't take Leah long to move on to Miguel.

-Throat-punching each other in the line.

-Kissed her in front of everyone.

-Yeah! Right.

-I wasn't expecting Leah and Miguel.

Do you think she should have waited a little bit?

-I think she's doing it to get Rob's attention.

-Yeah.

-Wait. So, you don't even think she likes Miguel at all?

- No. Absolutely not. - Really?

-No, I don't think so.

-We need to talk about the Stick or Twist dance challenge.

It was brutal and brilliant.

- Free Kordell. - Amazing to watch.

Kordell! Don't!

No, I can't. - I was screaming at my TV.

I didn't want to see that shit ever again.

-It was not on my 2024 bingo card

to feel bad for a man. I hated that.

-I got really sad. That was emotional.

- So, Kendall? - My God!

- I... nah. - I got the biggest ick.

It's just like, stand on what you want and what you feel.

Like, don't just leave because you thought that she would.

Yeah. - Because you thought she would.

-Yeah. I didn't like that.

-I heavily disagree. I thought

that he was serving Nicole what she was doing to him.

-I agree with you on that.

-And I think that gave her a reality check.

- Yeah, actually. - Do you know what I mean?

-Because she was stressing. She was stressing.

So, for him to serve it back to her

on a silver platter was a brilliant watch.

-Well, enough about this week for now. Let's talk about Casa.

- Yay! - Starts on Monday.

- Are we ready? - I'm ready. We're ready.

-I'm so excited. Casa is the best.

-That's where everything comes to the test, right there.

- It's the best, isn't it, Leo? - It's the best.

It's the best, Maura! It's the fucking best!

-Leo. Yours was absolute disaster.

Do you look back and laugh now or cry or...?

- God damn, a year later? - Regret anything or...

- Nah. - No?

-If I'm being honest, I'd probably do it again.

But... but, but it was a good time.

You know, I met a cool shorty.

- Would you do it again? - I probably would.

Knowing myself, I would nine times out of ten.

-So, you have not changed, then.

-No, I've, like, "changed." But like, I just know my ways.

I've come to terms with my own ways.

-Well, you were. Coupled up with Kassy.

And then... wait now.

Don't forget. You were all loved up.

- Yeah, yeah. - Went into Casa.

What the hell went wrong? - You know what?

-Should we just have a quick reminder

just to refresh our memory?

-Refresher, refresher.

Shit!

Fuck!

You're looking like a slut.

-Leo, do you want to go for a chat?

- Fuck me! - What do you think about me?

-I think you're cool as hell.

I was just wondering if you wanted to end

the night with me tonight.

- And sleep with you? - And sleep with me.

Fuck me!

This shit is like no other test I've ever had in my life.

Shit!

-The brunette... I know that he fucked her.

So...

Shit.

-That's disgusting. I thought I knew you,

but I don't know you.

So, do what you gotta do.

-My heart dropped. I haven't seen that before.

-I thought you knew the whole time.

-That is literally what not to do in Casa

if you want an easy life with your girlfriend?

-If you want it to work, don't do what I did, essentially.

-How was it knowing you'd have to face Kassy after all of that?

-It was terrifying.

But I'm thinking of every possible scenario.

I'm like, "What if she did the same thing?"

Then it's like, whatever.

But then she comes back with Matia.

- Is it really whatever, though? - No, it wouldn't be "whatever."

I would be butt-hurt. I would be sick.

-Have you got any advice for the boys this year?

-Yes, I do.

Do not have sex with the first girl that you see.

Think upstairs, not with junior.

Not so junior. - Okay. Great chat.

We'll dive into the rest of our couples a little later on.

For now, give it up for our panel, everyone.

Ariana Madix is joining me after the break,

so I've got just enough time to get the sofa steam-cleaned.

Back in a mo'.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun USA."

My next guest is standing just offstage

looking absolutely incredible as always.

Please welcome "Queen of All Things Love Island."

It's Ariana Madix!

- Hello! - Hi!

My God, we both did long today.

- Lovely. - So do you.

You look Grecian. - You always look hot.

- Thank you. - Ariana, what a week!

-What a week.

It feels like it's been a month with everything

that's happened.

-Because there's just so much going on, right?

We need to talk about the Stick or Twist challenge.

My God.

-Poor Kordell!

-My heart... I teared up. Like, I was crying.

-I was crying.

Is there a more brutal way to find out

your partner wants to see other people?

-No! And he was dancing his heart out.

He was doing head spins.

He was the best dancer in the whole villa.

-I know.

They're now back together. Well, they've sorted things out.

What do you make of that?

-I don't know.

Look, I love my girl Serena,

but I just want her to either fall in love

with this beautiful man or tell him it's not going to happen.

-Do you think he's giving her enough chances?

-Yes! He has given her enough chances.

But the problem is that he really likes her.

-He really likes her.

-So, I'm just hoping that someone comes in there

and sweeps my baby boy Kordell off his feet and...

- Maybe Casa? - Maybe!

I'm ready for Kordell Island. That's what I'm ready for.

-This time last week, you told me you love JaNa.

-Yes.

-I'm sorry to tell you, but the feeling is not mutual.

Take a look at this.

-Motherfuck! Ari's here.

-Sorry to interrupt your evening.

-This is not good that she's here.

No.

-She didn't like seeing you, did she?

-I mean, I came with bad news, so that was warranted.

-She was not happy.

-I think she's just so used to, like,

whenever I come in, something crazy is happening,

and I came in to wreak havoc.

And I did that night. So, you know what?

JaNa's fears were warranted.

-I mean, I was very jealous

because I would have loved to have been there

for that whole drama.

-It went on for so much longer than you're able to see.

And the deliberations went on for so long.

I mean, I had a moment to, like, walk away

and go film some TikToks over in the tunnel.

-Do you think it was more dramatic in person?

-Honestly? Yes, which is crazy to say.

- Your face was saying a lot. - Yeah.

When Aaron stood up,

and he started raising his voice to the girls,

I wanted to jump in there so bad.

I mean, that's me literally in real time,

cringing at Aaron and whatever the hell was going on there.

But I can't jump in. - This was your face.

-That's not something I can do in that moment.

-Did you think it was just a bit overdramatic?

- Yes! - Yeah.

Any more behind-the-scenes tea?

Man.

Well, Rob's decision. I didn't think he was going to leave.

And part of me telling him that I thought he should stay

was based on number one,

I don't think it should be a decision

that's made in the heat of the moment like that.

-Right, yeah. Emotions are too high.

-It's too high to be really making a rational decision.

Number two, if he were to have left, I just, again,

like, just as a fan, like, I don't want that to happen.

But also I was calling his bluff a little bit.

-Right.

-I really didn't think he was going to.

- Wow. - Yeah.

-I wasn't sure when I was watching it.

I was genuinely gobsmacked.

-Well, you know Aaron wouldn't have let him leave.

-Yeah. No.

-If Aaron could couple up with Rob,

I think that was why Aaron was so obsessed.

He thought he was losing his bestie in there.

-I've been an islander,

and obviously it's emotions are so high in there.

So, I can kind of understand the whole Aaron-Rob drama.

Maybe not to that extent...

well, actually I am quite dramatic.

I don't know, but, like,

emotions do get really heightened.

-Yeah.

Well, the heightened emotions is honestly why I love watching.

And, again, that's why this is the best show on television.

- Yeah, of course. - Period.

-I agree. I agree.

Okay, I've got to ask. As a viewer,

what's your highlight of the week?

-My highlight of the week,

because there was... I would say Kordell in the Stick or Twist

was the lowlight.

Yeah.

-The highlight was Kordell in the flex challenge.

-Ooh, yeah. Yeah.

-Everything about him in that flex challenge

I was obsessed with.

And the girls made the right choice in picking him to win.

I loved him in the ice bath. He's such a sweetie.

I can't wait for his moment to shine

with if it's not going to be Serena,

which I feel like it's not,

we need someone coming in here

that's gunning for Kordell. - Well,

we also like to ask Iain of his favorite moment of the week.

It's something he likes to call...

-Iain Stirling's "Unseen Moments of the Week"!

-I can't tell if he's in pleasure or pain.

- That's the problem. - Should we take a look?

-Yes.

-Hello, everybody.

It's Iain Stirling here, voice of "Love Island."

And I know a thing or two about being unseen.

Not right now, obviously.

I'm in vision, as they say in the business.

And right now I have got a clip for you that is so incredible.

I said to the producers, "This clip cannot be unseen."

It features OG couple Aaron and Kaylor

progressing to the relationship phase known as...

"Can I wax your bits?" - Darn it.

Maybe I shouldn't do this.

Okay.

-We'll do this bit first. Don't... don't put it on here.

-You're lucky you didn't piss me off.

-Kaylor, this is serious because it's gonna inflict pain on me.

Wait, wait, wait!

Okay, I'm trying to mentally prepare myself.

Just think about my ass.

I'm sweating. Let's go, let's go!

- 1, 2... - Ha!

-Okay. No more.

-This is so satisfying.

- 1, 2, 3... - Fuck!

That one wasn't as good.

This is so exciting. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

-You can't be moving, or I'm gonna fuck it up.

-Aah!

-Move your hand. Okay. Ready?

5, 4, 3...

[ Laughing ] Wait, wait, wait.

-Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

-I'm jumping out. Fuck that shit.

-I'm gonna do down here. That would be so satisfying.

- No way! - I loved that.

-That's the price of love. Personally, I never wax.

Not because it hurts.

I'm just naturally hairless all over.

I'm like a dolphin.

-If you've just seen the feed, you would have just thought,

"What the hell is going on here?"

-Yeah, I would have been like,

"Where's the night vision for this?"

-Boys just cant take pain, though.

-No, they can't. They're wusses when they get sick.

Have you seen those machines that give them...

- The contractions. - And they can't take it.

My God, I love watching those videos.

- I'm like, "Yes!" - Do it.

That would be a good challenge. - That would be.

- Yeah. - Okay.

We can't let you leave without giving us an exclusive.

Spill the tea!

-Well, I can tell you

that tomorrow America's vote will be revealed,

and two islanders will be going home before Casa.

I know. It's brutal. I don't make the rules.

I just deliver the bad news. - Yeah, you do.

You deliver a lot of bad news.

- I do! I'm the grim reaper. - Yeah, we saw JaNa.

-I know! Poor thing.

-That's an "Aftersun" exclusive. Jesus. I was not ready.

-Yeah, so hold on to your butts.

-Well, Ariana, thank you so much for joining us.

Ariana Madix, everyone!

We love you.

-I love you.

-Don't move a muscle. Coming right up,

Andrea is here to talk all about that relationship with Rob

and that brutal dumping.

Back in a few.

That would be too soon.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun."

Now, earlier this week,

the dumping of Andrea left all the islanders shell-shocked,

except for the girls that vote her out, of course.

Here now for an exclusive chat, it's Andrea!

-Go, Andrea!

-Nice to see you again.

Amazing. - Thank you!

- You look so good. - Thank you. Thank you.

-Take a seat. Relax, relax.

How are you feeling?

-You know, I've been better, for sure.

But I'm feeling good now.

We met before you went in.

-Can I just say you killed it as a bombshell?

-Thank you. I had to take notes from you.

-You did me proud, girl!

-I got fanny flutters. I got fanny flutters.

-I was screaming at the TV. Honestly, I was like, "Wow."

- Thank you. - How are you feeling now?

-I'm feeling a lot better.

Obviously, like, still down about the whole thing.

I definitely still go by the thought

that I felt, like, cheated and I felt like my time was cut short.

But at the end of the day,

it wasn't in anyone's hands besides the girls.

So, it wasn't... it was like all politics.

And then in that moment, I was like, "Damn,

like JaNa or Nicole is going home."

Like, I didn't think... The last thing, I was like,

"They're going to vote for the strongest connection.

They're not going to vote us off.

They see how much we care about each other."

So, yeah, definitely was caught by surprise.

-Well, emotions were obviously very high

for you and Rob that night.

Let's just have a reminder.

-Which girl have you decided to dump

from the island?

-Andrea.

-What the fuck?!

I'm leaving.

I lov... I did not say that.

I like you a lot.

I think I'm going to stay.

-[ Sniffling ] Okay.

-How does it feel watching that back?

-It hurts. It sucks. It's obviously, like, sad.

It hasn't been long since that happened.

So, I kind of just try not to, like, think about it.

-Are you surprised

at how quick your connection got so strong?

I know things move fast in "Love Island," anyway, but...

-Yeah, it was like maybe love at first sight,

which I think is so silly to say,

but that's just what I felt.

And I definitely didn't spend as much time with the girls

as maybe I should have.

But every minute that I could be with Rob, I was with Rob.

And, like, I don't regret a single thing I did.

-Are you going to continue watching the show

to see what he's up to?

-I'd rather people tell me than see it.

You don't want to watch it?

-I don't know. I mean, it's like,

obviously I still have feelings for him.

So, the last thing I want to see

is him caking it up to some other girl.

And he almost said, "I love you."

So, I was like... - No, he said, "I love..."

-Yeah. He stopped himself real quick.

So, I was like, "Where was that Rob when I was leaving?"

-Bit of a sensitive question,

but do you think Lee and Rob would ever get back together?

-I wouldn't put it past it

just because if there's nothing else there for him,

he's probably like, "Okay, well, this was good at one point."

Like, "Maybe I should revisit it and see, like, what went wrong."

But at the end of the day, I mean, things end for a reason.

If I could easily just come in there and,

like, take her from you, clearly it wasn't something worth...

- Damn! - I don't know!

It's the thought.

-Did you see the conversation that they had after you left?

How did you feel about that?

-I definitely was like, "Okay,

like you're being way too smitten right now, baby boy."

Like, "Let's hold it back."

-Yeah, why was he looking at her like that?

-I was like, "Damn."

Like, "It hasn't even been 24 hours."

-That's when I was screaming at my TV. I was like, "Bro."

-It's obvious from what we've seen that Leah is spiraling.

And I think that's, like, evident from when you came in.

Did you ever have a conversation with Leah

to understand her point of view?

Because, like, she's doing the most.

But I can sort of sympathize with her

because I've been in her position before,

where someone's taken someone for me.

So, did you ever sit down With her

and understand why she was saying things about him

in the dressing room, things like that?

-Yeah, we had a conversation.

I think it was like two days after we had coupled up,

and she was like, "Listen. Like, I want you to know,

like, this is nothing towards you.

I hope the best for you guys.

You know, I just want to see both of you happy and, like,

I hope that he treats you differently.

Just understand, like, he wasn't honest with me.

He was like a con artist."

She kind of, like, got in my head a little bit

because she was like, "He wasn't telling me that he was into you

and then just blindsided me" versus he was telling me

that he was honest with her and telling her that he,

you know, he was leaning my way and that he was open.

So, in that moment, I was like,

"Damn, like, is she really that crazy?"

Or maybe she has some,

like, maybe there's some truth behind it, but...

-Seems like an ego bruise, doesn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

So, definitely, like, seeing how things played out in the latter,

though, it really goes to show that she wasn't being honest.

Like, she was... like, none of her stuff added up.

It was kind of like he said, she said.

So, it's like at that point I just started ignoring it

and just making my own opinion.

-Do you think if you take Rob out of the equation,

would you and Leah, like, be friends?

Like, what do you think about Leah, like, as a person?

-Honestly, I don't know. I really wanted to like her.

-Probably hard to judge now because of the situation.

-But, really, emotions aside,

like, seeing how she treated Liv so quick

hen she confronted her and Rob,

when they were sitting down by the fire pit

and Liv was voicing her opinion like, "No, like,

what do you mean? Like, you did have a say."

She was so quick to snap on Liv and, like, so mean.

- Yeah, she was going crazy, man. - Yeah, and I was like...

I was like, she's just speaking. Like, the second something

doesn't go her way, she's quick to lash out on whoever it is.

Doesn't matter where... - At the nearest person.

- Yeah. - I don't know.

I just feel like that she was, like,

from what I saw, she was just getting it from Rob,

and then she was getting it from Liv.

- From Liv. - So I think from her point

of view, she felt attacked. - Yeah.

-And I think everyone in her position

probably would have done the same.

-I would just never speak to a friend that way.

She just doesn't know

how to control her emotions in certain situations.

And it comes off very aggressive and mean.

And I don't know,

I just wouldn't want that energy, like, around me.

- Fantastic television, but... - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, great TV, but yeah.

-Liv and Kaylor told Rob that Leah manipulated the vote.

But Leah told Rob that she took a back seat.

What's your take on that?

-So Leah also told Rob that she never

talked bad about him, never talked bad about me.

But when I was in the dressing room every single morning

since recoupling, she was yelling at the top of her lungs

how he was a baby, he wasn't a man, I have the ick,

it's so disgusting, this and that.

Wait, you heard all of that?

- All of it. - I was standing right there.

- Because you were in the room. - I'm in the room.

Like, I'm not deaf. And she's lucky that

I'm very mature, because I stayed quiet.

I let her speak. I was like, she's emotional.

She's hurt. Valid. Her feelings are valid.

When she said that she had no part, or she took the back seat,

I knew that was a lie. - So you think

that she definitely manipulated that vote?

-100%, because I like... like, girls know girls.

So like, obviously, like, they had a connection before I was there,

which means that it ended because he ended it,

not because she wanted to.

She 100% still had feelings for him.

She was saying all these things

because she still had feelings for him,

and I felt like she was trying to talk herself

out of liking him.

But even being in the villa,

like, I saw the way she was always looking at him

when I was with him. I watched eyes.

I saw little things.

So I was like, okay, she's staring, whatever.

Like, she would laugh or say something.

She's always looking for his eyes.

So, like, I wasn't dumb. I knew she still liked him.

But I knew as long as I was there,

that was never gonna happen because I felt like

what him and I had was stronger than what they had.

-Imagine you could send Rob a message right now.

What would you say?

-Um...

-Do it straight down the camera.

- God. Okay. - No pressure.

- This is getting sick. - You... no, I'm kidding.

- "Rob, fuck you." - Imagine!

-No, I'm just kidding. I miss you, and I hope

you find what you're looking for.

And you know where to find me.

But we do need to have a conversation on the exit.

Yeah.

- Valid. - I am honestly so, so proud.

I'm not just saying that. Like, you smashed it.

-Thank you so much. It means a lot.

-We're all gonna miss you.

-I know. I'm gonna miss you guys.

- Andrea, everyone! - Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

-You did so good, though.

-Still to come on "Aftersun,"

Hakeem and Connor have their say,

JaNa and Serena will be live from the villa,

and we meet the Casa Boys and Girls.

Don't go anywhere.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun"!

-Okay, time for my weekly check-in

with the islanders.

In the beach hut, live from the villa,

it's my girls JaNa and Serena!

- Hey! - Yay! Hi, girls!

Smile!

Welcome! - Hello!

- Hey, girl! - Energy!

- Energy! - We love you, girl!

-We love you so much You have no idea.

- Queen! - Girl, I love you as well.

Are you guys wearing matching tops?

- Yes! - That is so cute!

- So cute! - Sisters for life, baby.

I love that. Thank you for noticing.

-Are they especially for "Aftersun"?

- No. - Yes. Shh.

- Yes. - Yes.

-She's like, "We planned this."

-Thank you. You make me very happy.

- Got you, baby. - Girls, I have to ask...

are you over to egg situation with Miguel?

We've been calling it Egg Gate.

- My God. - The way they're laughing

is hilarious. - I want to ask Maura.

Maura, what would you have done?

Would you have dropped off them eggs, or sit there

and let them get cold after you worked so hard...

-Do you want me to be honest? Very honest?

Man would have got his eggs.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey! He was hungry!

- Suddenly I'm just cooking. - He was hungry!

-I'm not in the kitchen slaving for no man before

after one little conversation. - Nah.

-And then... no, and then, so I'm like...

-They're gonna start arguing again now.

- Yeah. - I done told my girl, to me,

it was just giving, "pick me." I'm like, sit your ass down.

- "Pick me. Love me. Choose me." - "Choose me."

No, hear me out. - They're funny, yeah.

-Serena, I have a bone to pick with you.

-Not more eggings. Maura, no!

-You nearly broke Kordell's poor heart

in the sticker twist challenge.

Damn. Dirty, y'all.

-JaNa! Damn!

-Yeah. Okay. I'm not an easy one.

Like, men don't get periods.

They don't get... they don't have babies.

Instead, they get me. It's no easy ride over here.

- My God. - That's real as fuck.

-It's no easy ride over here, baby.

Like, I don't know what it is.

-But to better explain it,

they had a conversation that morning

that they're still open to get to know people.

So, yeah, she's happy in her couple,

but they literally just said, "Hey, we're still open,"

so why would you stand on the dance floor

if you literally just said you're still open?

- Yeah. - We... We did see all of that,

but you still hurt his feelings. - I felt so bad.

- Tough one. - I'm a little too, too tough,

a little too rough sometimes. I don't know.

I blame my brother. - Ha, ha!

- JaNa, you coupled up... - Yes, beautiful?

- with Kenny last night.

How does it feel sharing a bed?

-I'm not gonna hold you, like, I missed sleeping in my own bed,

but it feels good with him specifically.

He's so sweet, y'all. Guess what?

Right before he came through, me and her,

we're literally talking about, like,

we want men to come in here just for us.

I told her now, my man is gonna be

at least 6-foot, Latino, and from New York.

Why is Kenny 6'3", Dominican, from the Bronx?

- My God. - You manifested that!

- Girl. - Yes, she manifested that.

-Yes, I put that on everything, I'm...

y'all, if this ain't our man, then I'm done.

-Yeah. And just to be clear,

not that I wanted another man because I like my man.

I mean, my man loves him some chocolate, so...

-Kenny like chocolate, too, so...

- Got a little sweet tooth. - Yo, what-what!

-Have you made him eggs yet, JaNa?

Yes, I did.

I made them three lightly scrambled eggs this morning.

Period.

- Exclusive, that is. - "Eggs-clusive."

-"Eggs-actly."

All right, ladies, we thought we should play a little game

to get to know you a little bit better.

- Yes. - Okay.

-Have you heard of the game called "Never Have I Ever"?

Of course you have. - Yes!

- It's one of my favorites. - We be playing up in here.

-Have you got your paddles at the ready, ladies?

- Yep. - Yes, ma'am.

-Then let's begin.

Never have I ever...

slept with someone on the first date.

Don't be copying, yo!

- Of course Serena says never. - No copying!

JaNa, I saw that.

Never have I ever cheated on my partner.

Fuck up!

- Wow! - JaNa!

- JaNa! - I told him instantly.

- Wow. - Okay.

-Never have I ever drunk texted my ex.

- Called. - I purposely get drunk

just to text him. - Honestly, listen,

that's the liquid courage, baby.

I'm drinking to text him. - And I'mma do it again.

I'mma do it again. - Never have I ever

had sex in a public place.

-Have some fun!

Sex on the beach is not just a drink.

It's an activity.

-Never have I ever trash talked a girl in the villa.

Good one.

-That's all we do up in here. That's all we do.

Hey, what happens in

the makeup room stays in the makeup room.

-No! [ Laughs ]

-Time's up! Very revealing.

- No! - Boo!

- They don't want to go! - They want more. They want more.

-We gotta go back to these boys.

-Girls, thank you so much for joining us.

- Thank you! - JaNa and Serena, everyone!

- Nice meeting you! - Love you all!

-Right. Time for a quick break now.

Don't go anywhere.

Our panel spill some more tea on our couples.

And Hakeem and Connor

are here for their first interview

since leaving the villa.

-Welcome back to the show!

Okay, we've talked about some of our couples already,

but let's do a deep dive into the rest of them,

starting with JaNa and Kenny.

What are we making of them, Jess? I'll start with you.

-Yeah. Like, obviously I don't think they're gonna last.

And the reason why is... - Straight up and honest.

- Yeah. - No holding back.

-I love you, Jess.

-I just think she's so high-energy.

She's so high-energy. She's funny. She's hot.

And just from what I've seen of Kenny so far,

it's just, I don't think they're on the same level

in terms of energy.

-I think JaNa is too good for him.

- Yeah. But is JaNa... - To be fair, I think JaNa

is probably too good for everyone.

-We don't really know him yet. We need to give him a chance.

- I agree. - He deserves a fair chance.

Leo, what do you think?

-He's got to be more chalant instead of nonchalant.

If he turns it up, shows her that he really cares,

is, like, really vibing with her, they'll be fine.

- Yeah. - Let's move on to Liv

and another one of our new bombs, Nigel.

What do we make of this couple?

- Also no. - My God, Jess!

Bearer of bad news.

-Liv's a very powerful woman.

She needs a guy who's powerful, too.

-How soon before she starts arguing with him,

do you think? - 24 hours.

- Probably already have. - Tomorrow.

- Yeah. - They're probably doing it

as we speak. - Probably, yeah.

- In bed. - Yeah.

-"Damn! You taking all the blankets!

Like, what? Come on. - I like her fire.

- Me, too! - Queen!

-Let's move on to Cassidy and Rob.

Rob looked shocked yet again.

- Yeah. - Is he into her?

Like, why did he look so shocked?

-There's just no way they're actually...

or he's actually into her.

- You don't think it's a match? - Nope.

- No. - I don't think so.

-I think the only couple right now is Aaron and Kaylor.

- Yeah. - Everyone else is just like

friends waiting for something. - Yes!

-And who knows what something is?

-Casa Amor something.

-You think Casa's gonna stir the pot?

-Casa's gonna stir the pot.

I just think Aaron's gonna slip.

I think he is, and I don't want him to.

And I think Kaylor's gonna get her heart broken.

Fingers crossed I am wrong.

-What about Nicole and Kendall?

-I think Nicole's had a bit of a wake-up call.

-She put herself in his shoes for the first time.

- Yes. - And was like, "That shit sucks.

I don't want to feel that."

I can't even imagine that she made him feel that way.

-Guys, thank you, as always.

I love you all. Our panel, everyone!

Now, we heard from Andrea earlier,

but Hakeem was also dumped in that shocking islander vote.

And last night,

the "Love Island" gods took Connor from us, too.

They're both here now.

Please welcome Hakeem and Connor!

- Hey! - How we doing?

- Nice to meet you. - How are you?

- Nice to meet you. - What's up, G?

-Yeah, over here. Ooh. This is...

This is very cozy. - Wow.

-Need some water to cool it down, know what I'm saying?

- Welcome, guys. - Thank you.

-You guys have only just saw each other for the first time.

- Yeah. - Is that right?

-I had no idea he was still here.

- This is a surprise. - I was so happy to see you.

Yeah, yeah. - This is my best boy.

You know, Conny... me and Conny in the building.

- Aw! - And you went in together.

- Yeah. We did. - As bombshells, second night.

Let's go back to the dumping.

So the boys had to choose between you, Rob, and Kendall.

- Yeah. - Leah said

the boys have an easy decision.

Did you hear that comment, by the way?

-Yeah, it was cool. Um, the girls all probably

just don't like me as much.

-Why? Why do you think that is?

-Um, they got to know the lens of Hakeem

through Liv and Hannah.

And obviously they're gonna talk, you know,

whatever they're gonna talk about me.

And so they never got to know it through, like, my side

on that end, so that's kind of how it went.

But it was cool. Like, it's fine.

You know, six girls all hating me, but I'm all right.

It is what it is.

-It was early days with you and JaNa.

Did you see potential there? - Yeah.

I think JaNa and I, we had a really great friendship.

And then, you know, we started to build on that.

So, you know, it was bittersweet

that it ended pretty short, but, um, she's a catch,

so I'm sure she's doing fine without me.

No worries. - She is. We love JaNa.

- Yeah. - Your fellow islanders

sent you some goodbye messages.

- They did? - Do you want to take a look?

- Are they, like, positive? - Well, let's take a look.

- Yo! - Shit.

Hakeem! Morning, Hakeem.

My God, dawg, I'm gonna miss you, bro.

-Goodbye, Hakeem. I know we had our differences.

I still love you. I wish you the absolute best.

-You were most certainly a light in the villa.

Whether it was a neon one or a black light or a white light,

you definitely stood out in the best ways possible.

-You're an incredible soul. You're a beautiful person.

You're a very strong-minded human being,

and you don't let anyone push you over.

And I really fuck with that trait.

-Hakeem, my favorite thing that I learned about you

is that you are one wise individual,

and you're really good at calculating what happens next.

Not tonight, but usually, me and you do really good.

-Hakeem, if I could give you any advice,

it would be stop arguing with women.

It'll get you a lot further.

That was good.

- Serena's comment. - Yep.

-Do you agree with her?

Do you think you argue with women too much?

-It wasn't like I was arguing.

I think I just say things that needed to be said,

and people just want to hear what they want to hear.

But I'm definitely gonna, like I said,

take that into account as, like, a lesson of just

it's always about becoming better, you know, growing.

I never take anything personally, so I'm good on it.

Yeah. - Okay.

Connor, I've got to ask... where did it all go wrong?

Did you pick the wrong girls, do you think?

Be honest.

I, I mean, I gave it 100% in there.

Like, I think initially when I connected with JaNa,

like, that felt very, very real.

I was sad that she expressed that she thought I had,

like, used her in any way.

Like, that fucking hurt.

-I have, like, a question and it's just

I've just always wanted to know this.

- Yeah. - Because right after

Rob and Leah broke it off, she went straight to you.

- Yes. - I just want to know,

from your perspective,

do you think Leah was ever interested in you,

or do you think that she tried to pursue you

out of pure convenience?

-Super valid. Honestly, valid.

Like I... I know it's a hot... it's a spicy question.

- That's a loaded fucking... - But I'm dying to know.

- I've had the same thought. - Yeah.

-I don't know. I genuinely... because I've tried so many times

to get an honest answer out of her and just felt

like I wasn't getting the full answer.

And I've straight-up been like, "Just be honest with me.

Just be honest with me. Be a dick, I don't care.

Like, I can take that." - You just want the honesty.

-I sleep better at night with the honesty

versus the, like, sugarcoated. "It's not you, it's me."

-Well, I have a question for both of you.

Team Rob or Team Leah?

Team... Team Rob.

-Hakeem?

-Team Rob. Team Rob. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Rob's my boy.

Regardless of whatever has happened in there,

Rob's my boy.

-Well, Connor, you may not have found love,

but you've made friends for life.

- Yes. - Take a look at this.

-Conzy! I love you so much.

And I am so happy that I've met you in the villa.

And I know I'm crying. Are you surprised? But...

-Go get 'em, you Clark Kent, sexy-looking ass.

I cannot wait to see you on the outside, my guy!

Love you, Connor.

-You're probably one of the sweetest,

most genuine, thoughtful, sensitive guys

I've ever met in my entire life.

And you also just happen to be the size of a fridge.

-Connor, I would have told you to never wear

those American shorts again but you left them here,

so that's a good thing.

You don't have to ever wear those again.

-You fucking beast. You absolute legend.

-We're all gonna miss you and your energy so much.

-I'm gonna start crying.

So I'm gonna try and stop myself from crying.

But I just wanted to say that you are the kindest person.

And I will miss you so, so much.

And...

I just want you to know that you have so much love here.

And I just loved how empathetic you were

and just such a kind-hearted soul.

Aw, that was so cute!

-Connor, how does that feel watching it back?

-I don't... those are some of the best people

I've met in my entire life.

And, like, you don't come here looking for that.

But, I mean, I've left with just incredible friendships.

-It turns into a family, doesn't it?

-Yeah, it does, really fast.

-Well, guys, thank you so much for joining me tonight.

- Thanks for having us. - Hakeem and Connor, everyone!

Thank you, guys.

A huge, huge thank you to all of you for joining me tonight.

But I need to clear the sofa, because coming up,

we have a world exclusive...

the Casa singles hoping to turn our islanders' heads.

I'll see you after the break.

- Every time. - You're like, ""

- Every time. - Who is this?

- Hey, Maura. - Hey, "Aftersun."

- Hey, "Aftersun." - It's Brie...

- and Nikki. - And we are so excited because

this week on "Spill the Tea,"

we are going really deep on one of the most explosive weeks

- of "Love Island" history. - My gosh.

And we are gonna be answering big

and sometimes uncomfortable questions

to the one and only Andrea,

one, about Rob staying and not leaving with her.

-Exactly. And we also asked her,

given the chance to send Leah and Rob a text right now,

what would she send them?

And I have to say, I was really shocked by her answer.

-Yeah. And something else that came up

is her past relationship with Maluma.

You're gonna want to hear that.

You are.

You're not gonna want to miss "Spill the Tea,"

so make sure to check it out.

-Yes, tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun"!

Okay, "Love Island" lovers,

brace yourselves for a global first exclusive reveal.

The 2024 Casa Boys!

Welcome, guys.

- Thank you so much. - This is exciting.

- It really is. - How are you feeling?

- Great. - Crazy.

- Bliss. - Surreal.

- Bliss, crazy, surreal. - Yeah.

-Okay. Down to business.

You haven't got long to turn the girls' heads.

Imagine you have one line to do the job.

What is it? You can try it out on me.

Starting with George. - You're gorgeous.

But you'd look even better

sitting across from me at dinner. [ Laughs ]

-Okay, Caine, can you beat that?

-I don't know about that. It's pretty good.

Should we go for coffee?

Because I like you a latte.

- You should work on that. - Okay, okay.

Jacobi?

Smart, petite is my cup of tea.

- I like it, I like it. - Hey! Yeah.

That's cool, that's cool.

-The boys liked it. I didn't.

Josiah?

-I'll pull the Spanish out on you.

- Ooh. - I don't know what he just said,

but I liked it.

How do you think you're gonna measure up to the boys

that are in the villa now?

-I think we all are grown men here,

compared to little boys in the villa.

- Exactly. - They won't know what hit them.

-Fighting talk.

-I like this guy. He's a-spicy.

I'm with him. I'm with him. - Spicy.

-He speaks for the group on this one.

-I felt like they kept, like, the Lamborghinis

in the garage until Casa.

- Ooh. - Yeah!

-I like that. I like that.

-Okay, well, thank you guys for stopping by.

I hope you do me proud because this confidence...

I want to see that in Casa Amor. Okay?

- You will, you will. - For sure.

- Yeah? - Of course.

-Okay. The Casa Boys, everyone!

Right, we've met the boys.

And I'd say it's about time we met the Casa Girls.

Everyone, say hello to the Casa Girls!

Yes. This energy... I'm loving.

How are you all feeling? - Amazing.

-Excited. Amazing. Beautiful. Sexy. Gorgeous.

- Wow. - All the above.

-Girls, you're actually so hot, I can't even call.

- You're so hot. - Let's talk strategy.

What's everyone's game plan?

-I'm just going in hot, sexy, fierce.

I'm coming in to do my thing, get my man.

- Love that. - Thank you.

-I'm open to be vulnerable.

And I don't care if it might hurt my feelings.

I'm putting my heart out there, and that's really the goal.

- Aw! - Yeah.

Daia? - Maybe if I have to

with a little bit of, you know, sexy eyes

and, you know, flirt a little bit,

but I'm just gonna be nice, be myself.

I feel like that gets you a long way.

- I agree. - Yeah.

-I agree. Sydney?

-I mean, like, I'm blond.

Every time, you see, like, a bombshell walk in

and they're blond, they're like, "my gosh, she's blond!"

- And now we have another. - So, like, that's the strategy.

They like the blondes these days.

You can't really help it. But, yeah, that's really it.

Okay, maybe I need to go blond.

- Same. - Sierra?

-I'm coming in just myself, I think.

Like, I know I have a great personality.

I know I'm hot.

I know what I bring to the table.

I'm coming in to find love.

I'm not coming in to, like, fuck around.

Like, I'm here for, like, real shit, so...

- Serious. - We're coming in.

We're coming in strong. - Coming in hot.

Caliente. - Destiny?

-It's hard to top everything they said.

But I think my charm will naturally lure the boys in.

But I think at the end of the day, just being yourself is...

will win the right guy over, you know?

- Yeah. - I agree.

Have you all been watching the show?

- Of course. - Yes.

- How can we not? - Yeah, it's hard not to.

- We're locked in. - Who's most likely

to have their heads turned, do you think?

- Ooh! - Heads turn?

I feel like no one's head is really straight right now.

Everyone's head is kind of all over the place at the moment.

- Heads are on a swivel. - Everyone's?

-Everyone except for maybe Aaron might be a little difficult.

-Okay. Do you think you could turn his head?

-I think I can definitely turn his head.

It's gonna be a little bit of a challenge,

but I'm very much up for it. - You love a challenge?

-Duh. Hello? Are you kidding?

-What about Kordell and Serena?

Do you think they're sweet or...?

-I feel like they were never a thing, to be honest.

I feel like she doesn't really like him, so...

- Definitely... for sure. - His head could easily turn.

-He's like a king. He deserves something better.

- Yeah. - He's such a sweetheart.

- He's a king. - Yeah.

-You're all feeling Kordell, then?

-I think everyone agrees Kordell deserves...

-Yes, he deserves someone for sure.

-How excited are you all to just get in there now?

- So excited. - I'm ready!

-I'm horned-up. Like, can we go? I'm ready.

- Say again, Sydney? - I'm horned-up.

Like, I'm overstimulated. I'm ready.

-Quick show of hands.

Who doesn't care about stepping on toes?

- Yeah. - That's why we're in Casa Amor.

-I feel like I even have cute shoes on to, like, step on toes.

- Yes, you do. I love those. - You know what I mean?

Like, I'm ready to just... - Ooh.

- Let's just do it. - I love those.

-Well, cheers to the Casa Girls 2024!

Don't do anything I wouldn't do, which isn't a lot.

Right, that's all from us here at "Aftersun."

A huge thanks to all my guests.

Join us next time for the Casa aftermath.

I can only assume it's gonna be very messy.

New "Love Island" drops tomorrow night on Peacock.

Love you all. Bye!

-Casa Amor.
