Original subtitles

-From our studio perched perilously on the edge

of a rocky cliff top high above the Villa,

it's "Love Island USA Aftersun."

-I'm Maura Higgins,

and here's what's coming up on tonight's epic "Aftersun."

Ariana Madix has the scoop on what's next

for our islanders.

Cely, Kay Kay, and Johnny Bananas

are fired up for the Casa fallout.

Sydney, Destiny, and Ignacio have the inside story.

Liv joins us live from the beach hut.

And in a massive global exclusive,

we'll reveal the two iconic ex-islanders set

to rock the Villa for the second time.

Who are they?

Stick around to be the first to find out.

"Aftersun," start your engines.

Live from Fiji, welcome to "Love Island USA Aftersun"!

Casa came saw, and conquered.

Here to help peck through the wreckage is my panel of experts.

First up, my "Aftersun" work wife for life... it's Cely.

-I love you.

-And a reality star whose name is as crazy as it is healthy.

It's Johnny Bananas!

- Love you. - Love you.

And one half of last year's most-talked-about couples,

it's Kay Kay. - Yes!

Kay Kay, it's so nice to have you back.

-Thank you. It's so great to be here.

-How does it feel being back in Fiji?

-A little bit of PTSD, but it kind of feels like home.

-I'm not surprised. You left the Villa with Keenan

after he was dumped.

Rob could never.

He disappointed me.

-I got to ask, what happened after the show?

-Me and Keenan got into a relationship for a few months,

but ultimately we broke up.

It just wasn't working out.

-Why did it end?

-I think a big part of it was our age difference

and where we were in our lives.

Like, I was kind of in my career.

He was still doing his college thing.

And, you know,

in the Villa you don't really recognize the age difference

because everybody's on the same playing field.

But when you get out in the real world, it's like...

- Very different. - Very different. Yeah.

-Your catchphrase lives on forever.

-"Soul Ties" is crazy!

-Should we have a quick reminder?

-Soul Ties might not be a big deal to other people,

but to me and Keenan, it is.

Soul Ties is crazy. - You're not gonna give me a hug?

- No, Soul Ties is crazy. - Not giving me a hug is insane.

-Not crazier than Soul Ties.

Soul Ties is crazy!

-Soul Ties is crazy!

-I feel like Soul Ties is crazy.

- Soul Ties is crazy! - Is crazy! [ Laughs ]

-Soul Ties is crazy.

- Kay Kay! - Soul Ties is crazy.

-You still got it. You still got it.

Now, Johnny, firstly, shall I call you Johnny or Bananas?

-Whatever you want, Johnny Bananas, Johnny.

-I think Bananas is more suitable.

-"Asshole"... that's what I usually go by on reality TV.

- "Asshole"? - Yeah.

When you've been on TV for as long as I have,

yeah, that moniker, you know, kind of sticks.

-I was just going to talk about that.

- Yeah. Yeah? - See, I beat you to it.

-You've done the "Real World," "The Traitors."

-Yeah.

-You won "The Challenge" seven times, I believe.

That's crazy.

-"The Love Island" Villa is just below us.

Are you tempted to go in?

-I mean, I wouldn't go in as a bombshell.

I'd be more like an atomic bomb going into that place.

-He really would be.

-Would you actually ever do it, though? Serious question.

-I come from a show

where we literally do death-defying stuff.

-Yeah.

-Like, throw ourselves off buildings, eat fried rats.

I'd rather risk my life

than have to subject myself to what they've had

to subject themselves to.

-Are you saying you find the Villa scarier?

-That's wild. I think I'm more of, like,

a "Love Island Games" type of guy

because I'm up for challenges.

No, I like competition.

-Well, I believe "Love Island Games" is coming back next year.

Would you do it? - Would I?

I should be the first on the call list.

Yeah.

Now, before we dive in too deep,

let's have a quick-fire recap of what made this

our biggest week yet.

- I just gave it. - Did you?

-"You each have a choice."

-I'm not kissing no girls.

-Casa Amor in the house!

-The boys have gone to Casa Amor.

-Look, I just feel like if I had the decision, I would stay.

-Hi, guys!

Yes. let's do it.

-"Kiss the islander you want to get to know better."

- Put me on the floor, bitch! - Put her on the floor, bitch!

-Damn! Watch out, Aaron!

-Ever since he left, it's been so hard.

-I miss Kordell so much.

-Did you just make out with her?

-Fuck!

-Don't do something stupid.

-He's not holding back.

-Yeah, he's fucked.

-This Casa Amor shit is actually next-level shit, bro.

-It's not good. Like, I'm just delusional.

- You're good. You're good. - You're not delusional.

-I've not done anything wrong.

But I feel like I've done something wrong.

-It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

-That's some bullshit.

-Tonight there will be a recoupling.

-Let's go!

-Not yet.

-You're kidding.

-Aaron, is that Daniela?

- No way! - You guys are fucking savages.

-It's hard to clap for that.

- Yeah. It's heartbreaking. - Yeah!

- It is heartbreaking. - Yeah.

We have so much to talk about.

I mean, who thought Aaron would make a move

on a Casa girl so quickly?

-I lived this before.

It's almost like he felt married.

And he felt like Casa Amor was like a vacation from the wife.

"So, let me do all my dirt while I'm gone on vacation.

Then I'll come back home."

-Not knowing that it's like,

you know, they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

What happens in Casa Amor fucking ends up on a cellphone,

and your girlfriend gets to watch it.

-Then expects to just come back and...

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Have her back again. - That is the nasty part.

Wouldn't it have been worse

if he would have come back with another girl?

He came back single.

-He may as well have, though. Like, own your fucking shit.

-You did all that just to come back by yourself?

- Yeah. - What was the point?

-Because that's what I'm saying.

Here's what I think.

It's like, is the grass greener on the other side?

He was having second thoughts going in.

He had that conversation earlier where he's like,

"Am I doing the right thing?"

So, I think the groundwork was already laid for him to fuck up.

I gotta give it up to Kaylor, too.

That girl 100% is not putting on a front.

She's not putting on an act.

She's unapologetically who she is.

-And she deserves better.

-And you feel what she feels.

-Well, Kaylor chose to be single now.

Do you think her stance will last?

- No. - I...[ Sighs ]

- Don't ask me. - I want to say yes.

-I want to say yes, but I don't think that it will.

-Cely, I got to ask you how triggering was Casa for you

because for me, it was a lot. - Yeah, it is a lot.

I just feel really bad for Kaylor and Serena.

Obviously, I know what that feels like,

and it just... it sucks to see somebody else go through that.

But I will say, like, the girl power is girl power.

The way that all the girls have each other's backs, like,

I'm in tears.

- It is phenomenal. - Yeah.

Because I'm just like, "That's so beautiful."

-I know. Kay Kay, I need to ask you

because all your girls on your season

were begging you not to get back with Keenan.

-Yeah.

-Like if you were to turn back time now,

would you, like, take their advice?

-I definitely would take their advice.

Yeah, this time around, I would.

-But, again, it's hard when you're...

-It's very hard.

And it's also, like, you know, those were my girls,

but he was my best friend, too. You know what I'm saying?

So, it was like, "he made a mistake."

And at the end of the day,

I just wanted to be happy and in love.

You know, I was in a la-la delusion land, anyway.

But I feel like my processing time was off because...

-And we all want to see the best in people, as well.

-And that's like, you know, it's a pro and a con.

When you're a genuine person,

you always want to see the best in people.

And it's like, I wanted that to be my situation.

Like, I was so fixated on that being "We're this couple."

You know what I mean?

Like, I had a hard time letting it go, but...

-Okay, let's move on to Kordell/Serena and now Daia.

Serena was devastated by Kordell bringing back Daia.

Whose side are we on here?

- Serena. Justice for Serena. - Serena.

Serena forever. - Serena.

- [ Laughs ] You waited! - That's right.

-No, you're not. Come on.

-Deep down, I think he's a very sweet guy.

Honestly, I'm not gonna lie. - Even now?

-I don't see him as...

I don't see him as a manipulative, evil person.

I see him as someone that was in a thing with Serena.

I think it took a lot of time for him to get there.

-Yeah, but...

-And I think once he went over to Casa,

I feel like he got so much more attention

and so much more love and vibed so much faster...

-It took him less than a day to jump ship. Please!

-But it took him three weeks to get Serena to kiss him.

-She had just opened up to him!

-That's a long time.

-But now we see why.

Maybe her intuition was telling her all along

that this isn't the guy for her.

-I genuinely believe from watching it...

this is what I believe.

I think that girl has been so hurt in the past,

and she is a slow burner because of that.

Like, we've probably all been there.

I know I've been there. So, I can relate to her.

And then she opens up to him, and immediately he does that.

-Yeah, and I understand wanting to get to know Daia

because she came in, like, really, really hot.

You know what I mean?

But it's like you could have done that in a respectful manner

if you had respect for Serena.

And if you actually liked her the way

that you said that you did,

you wouldn't have gone about it the way you did.

-It's temptation. Like, I am not convinced

that he has a better connection with this girl.

- No, he doesn't. - Yeah.

-She's 27. He's what, 22?

- Yeah. - That's a big age gap.

-Like, think about where they are in their lives.

Like, I was talking about the breakup with me and Keenan.

It had a lot to do with the age difference

in, like, the eras of our lives.

Like, think about that

working outside in the real world versus Kordell and Serena.

Is he thinking that far ahead?

-Or even having a normal conversation, honestly.

-Literally.

-Like, just having conversation.

-They don't even conversate, though, from what we've seen.

- Yeah, no. - They're talking about...

all she says is, "You deserve better.

I'll treat you like this and I'll do this for you

and do that for you."

But. like, are y'all really connecting or, Kordell,

are you just horny? - Yeah.

-How do we think Serena held herself at the recoupling?

- Round of applause for Serena! - What a woman!

-Yeah, like, that was a great example.

-When she did that.

i was screaming!

-It's so exciting, especially as someone who, like,

that happened to me.

Like, seeing somebody do all the things I wish I would have done?

It is healing. - It is.

-I love to see her stand on business.

She is such a queen.

And the good thing is that she knows that she's a queen

and she knows what she deserves.

It's literally healing me. - Good for her.

-And then all of the girls had her back,

and that was everything.

- Yeah. - That was the scariest part,

how all the girls were bunched together.

And every time a guy walked in,

it's like, "Buddy, you are fucking.

You're in for some shit."

-Question, question.

-Just the looks alone,

I'm surprised those guys didn't just...

they weren't just deceased. - Burst into flames? Yeah.

-And I got to say,

the longest walk of shame known to mankind

was going from one side of that Villa to the other,

either alone or with the person that you're with,

and having to deal with those like laser-beam murder eyes

the entire way up.

-Kordell couldn't even look up.

- No. - Because he knew what he did.

Exactly.

-Serena strikes me as someone who stands on her principles.

That's, again, why, in the beginning...

- Queen! - I love it!

-Well, no, and that's again in the beginning

why it took her so long possibly to warm up to him.

She's like, "I'm just not going to jump into anything.

I'm a slow burner.

I want to make sure this is for real."

And it's almost like "Now that you've betrayed my trust,

there's no coming back."

-I love it, I literally love her.

-I know. I want to hug her, too. Great chat, guys.

We'll delve into the other couples a little later.

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

The queen of "Love Island" joins me for a one-on-one, next.

And if I know Ariana Madix,

she's brought a whole lot of hot tea to spill.

Back in a few.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun USA"!

For the islanders,

my next guest is just like fireworks.

She's beautiful to look at

but also comes with a risk of setting everything on fire.

It's queen of the villa, Ariana Madix!

- Hello! - Hello!

-Hot stuff.

Best friends.

God!

I mean, we say this every week, but where the hell do we start?

-No, exactly.

And we definitely don't even have enough time

to talk about everything.

-Casa Amor. What were you thinking?

My gosh.

Well, the recoupling was obviously wild,

but going into Casa, I was so excited.

Well, first of all,

I got to hang out with the girls a lot longer than what you saw.

-You were most excited out of all the girls.

- Yeah! - Yeah.

And I need to ask, whose idea was the conga?

-That was Liv's idea.

And once she started, she invited me to join,

and I was not going to say no.

-It looked like so much fun.

-It was so much fun.

-But it wasn't for Kaylor, right?

-No, but you know what's crazy is it got to a point

where it seemed like she was ready to take it on.

But then obviously, things just...

-It all turned to shit.

- Yeah. - Yeah, basically.

At that time, did you think

Kaylor had anything to worry about?

- At that time, I did not. - Yeah, I didn't, either.

-Earlier on in the season,

I thought, "Casa is going to be make or break.

Could be really rough for Kaylor and Aaron."

And then leading up to it, I thought, "You know what?

I actually think things are going to go really well."

- I thought the same. - And, boy, was I wrong.

- Yeah. Very wrong. - Very, very wrong.

-Because he did the dirty.

-I mean, I get that. You should be getting to know people.

-Yeah, of course... have conversations.

- Absolutely! - Of course.

-I feel like it would be suspicious

if you acted super closed off and weird towards those girls.

And the fact that he was repeating that handshake

with Daniela, it was almost like he just, like,

transferred his relationship with Kaylor

right on to Daniela just like that.

-Yeah, I agree.

And also, it was the first year

that the boys had the decision to go to Casa.

-Yes, absolutely.

-Like, I was not expecting that.

-Well, you know, as soon as one said they were going,

they're like,

"Well, we all got to do it together."

-I mean, I guess the girls are probably better off

knowing what these boys were going to do.

Absolutely.

And I almost feel like... that's the one thing

is it gives you answers.

- Yeah. - Someone shows you who they are,

believe them the first time. - Yeah.

-And I just hope that Kaylor sticks to her guns.

-Yeah, -But I think she's gonna fold

going back to Aaron.

- I really hope she doesn't. - And it worries me.

-I really hope she doesn't.

-Well, the way he immediately tried to sit next to her

after she said she was going to remain single...

- Wait. You said... - I separated them.

-No, that was iconic.

-Okay, Aaron, you can go sit down.

Maybe swap seats.

-I could not believe he was going to try to do that

in front of anyone else. - That's just cheeky, right?

-Yeah.

-Did you get very protective of the girls?

-Absolutely. I love them. I think they're so strong.

That's, I think, my favorite thing about this entire season.

This group of girls, they're so strong.

Watching them go through getting that text message

with the video, that was so hard.

-Sat around that fire pit when Liv was sitting there

giving it to every single one of those boys.

- What a woman. - I love her.

- Yeah. - She's incredible.

And when she said she was worried she was too much?

Never too much.

And if you are too much for someone, they can go find less.

-Yeah.

Speaking of Liv, what do you make of Liv and Caine?

Because I'm just not really feeling it.

It kind of seems like a friendship.

-It does seem like a friendship.

It seems a little bit like...

-She just had to choose someone.

-She felt like she wanted... yeah.

She wanted to bring someone back.

He was the one who was expressing the most interest.

She was the only Villa girl to couple up with a Casa boy.

- She was. - Is there anyone else

you wish had made it into the Villa?

- George! - George.

-I thought he was so cute and sweet.

You know,

I noticed right off the bat there was certain things

that if I was coaching them... - Yeah.

It's like, "Help the girl up the stairs.

Pour the champagne for her."

You have to do these things right out of the gate

to make an impression.

-I liked Ignacio, as well.

- I loved him, too! - He's cute.

-I love the way

he was translating the Spanish on the video.

My God, yeah!

-And the way when they called him over,

he just jogged on over there.

And he was making food.

- He seems super lovely. - Yeah, he's sweet.

-Moving on to Kordell and Serena...

-What is going on in that head of yours

because I am not happy with Kordell.

-I'm not, either.

Of course, I really was rooting for her and Kordell

because I really loved their banter with each other,

their jokes.

I felt like they were getting to a really good place.

She was finally feeling safe to let her guard down,

which I totally understand.

But ultimately I think that Kordell is a sweet person.

But him being 22,

I think that the immaturity is really showing.

-Yeah.

And I think that that's just Kordell's age.

-You want someone to understand.

Yeah, it probably is his age. - My other problem...

- God! - My other problem...

- God! - Is these boys

bringing girls back to the Villa

and then acting sheepish

when they get confronted with their choices,

because the Casa girls have not done anything wrong.

They've done exactly what they've come to do.

-And also them just stood there.

Like, if that was me, I would...

-I'd be like, "I'm gonna go ahead and go

if you're not going to sit here and say that you really like me

and you brought me back here for a reason."

-They're then disrespecting the girls that they've brought back.

- Yeah. So now what? - Yeah.

Well, Ariana, while we've got you,

what tea can you spill on next week?

-Okay. Two things. Movie night.

- God. - And then a bloodbath.

- My God. - Tell me about movie night.

-We have so many things that these islanders need to see.

- God! - We're going to need

lots of popcorn. - My God!

Maybe you and I, we can just go watch.

Yeah.

Girls' night. - Girls' night.

-Yeah, we're having a movie night, too.

We'll probably be in tears.

-Yeah.

-I need to hear about the bloodbath,

but I'm not sure I want to hear.

-Well, the Villa is very full right now.

I'll just say that.

-Massive dumping, is it?

-People got to go. There's only so many beds.

-This series has just been so dramatic.

-Yes, and there will be another fan vote

to figure that one out.

- Okay. - Exclusive, there.

- Yeah. - Jesus!

-And I will be coming in to reveal everything.

-Ariana, thank you so much for joining us, as always.

We love you. Ariana Madix, everyone!

Time for a quick break now,

but "Aftersun" is just getting started.

Ignacio, Sydney and Destiny are fresh out of Casa

to spill the tea.

Liv will be live from the Villa,

and I'll be having exclusive chats

with two ex-islanders heading back into the Villa.

The identities of the super bombshells will be revealed.

See you in a few.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun"!

The panel are back on the sofa, where they should be.

And we're all set to enjoy Iain Stirling's weekly masterpiece,

or as he likes to call it...

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

-Iain, the floor is yours.

- Hi, everyone. - My name is Iain Stirling.

I'm the voiceover artist of "Love Island"

and the narrator of "Love Island."

Now, I can't narrate bikini-clad dating shows my entire life.

Well, I can. I'm not in vision. Age is not my enemy.

But I am going to diversify into the lucrative

spiritual-voiceover market.

And I'm using today's "Unseen Moment" as my demo reel.

So, please welcome to...

for fuck boys and homewreckers.

Namisty. Namaste-neem. Namastaby.

I don't... forget it.

Ian's Casa Yoga

is all about letting go of thoughts of the partner

you're getting ready to cheat on.

Fuck!

-Set your intention. It's to hook up.

Start by casually mentioning intimate body parts.

I think my nipple's gonna come out. Well.

-That's fine. Yeah, there you go.

That is crazy!

-Can you feel it in your groin?

-Groin, groin.

-Girls, flirt by giggling for no reason.

Boys, tell the universe

how the girls could meet your deepest desires.

Fuck me in the ass and call me Susie.

This is crazy. Jesus Christ!

-Remember, girls, don't stop giggling.

Try my yoga of chat.

Simply empty the mind of all intelligent thought and speak.

My gosh, some yoga shit.

They're doing yoga over there, yoga poses.

Actually. Yes, yes!

-Advanced students can try more complex poses

that are basically just an excuse to try out sex positions.

Lean back, lean back, lean back.

-You should end the session with no thoughts at all.

If you're Aaron, it should feel very familiar.

Practice Iain's Casa Yoga today,

and you'll have let go of that annoying,

loving partner by tomorrow.

-All right, a big thanks to Iain on that yoga lesson.

And if you'd like to check out Iain on his other job

as a stand-up comedian,

his new tour is coming to the U.S. this fall.

You can catch him live in New York on September 22nd.

Okay, we've just snuck some

Casa kids in with our panel so we can have a chat.

Please welcome Ignacio, Destiny, and Sydney.

Welcome, guys. - Thank you so much.

-Well, you didn't make it into the Villa,

but you made it on "Aftersun,"

so you guys are the real winners.

Yeah.

-Have you recovered from it all?

I don't mean Casa. I mean the food challenge,

because that was disgusting!

- I still can't eat. - It was so gross.

-So gross.

-No, but I had a really rough time.

I'm not eating ketchup in my life. I'm done.

- No ketchup forever. - No, forever.

-Did you like ketchup before that, though?

-Yeah, of course. Who doesn't like ketchup?

No, no, it's horrible.

-Johnny, you've done a lot in reality TV.

Would you have done that?

-I'm sure Johnny's done a lot worse.

-I've eaten far worse than that,

like pulled pork out of, like, a hot girl's mouth.

I've eaten, like, a rat. Eaten a goat's head.

I've eaten balls. Like, I've done it all.

-That's bad, that's bad.

-Right, well, we need to talk about the Casa recoupling.

Was it as dramatic as it looked?

It is, it is, actually

because you have no idea what's going to happen, you know?

The girls, it's really hard to read them.

-Yeah.

-Were you really hoping that Leah would choose you?

- You guys got on so well. - Yeah.

-Yeah, I know, I know.

But, um, I'm not her type, you know?

So I knew this part.

And also, I'm not going to rush anything.

I'm not going to put pressure or something like that.

Maybe if I did, it would be different.

Right now, I wouldn't be here. I have no idea.

-Well, at least Leah didn't boop you.

- No. Woof. - You didn't get the boop.

- Yeah. - Didn't get the boop.

- But almost. Almost. Almost. - Almost. Almost.

- Yeah, very close. - She's full of those, you know?

She pistol me like...

Like, no, that's that [indistinct] shit, you know?

-Destiny and Sydney, you both were getting to know Rob.

- Yeah. - Yes.

-Were you surprised when he coupled up with Daniela?

-So, for me, it really caught me off-guard

because she was so into Aaron.

-But I could tell she was a little stressed out

because of the whole Kaylor situation.

- Yeah. - And then I also feel like

right when Kaylor got the video,

we were, like, all sitting down by the fire pit,

and all we heard was, "Fuck you, Aaron,"

or like fuck Aaron or something like that.

-Fuck you, Casa!

- Why are they screaming? - You felt a little pressure.

-It was Kaylor that shouted.

-Like, once we all heard that, Aaron completely, like,

was like, "Nope. I need to back away."

-So you... you guys heard that from Casa?

- Yeah. Because... Yeah. - My God.

-So if he hadn't have heard that,

do you think he might not have done what he did?

-110%. I think that...

-You guys should have soundproofed fucking Casa, man.

-This is tea.

-Production's like, "Alright, soundproof Casa.

We cannot have this happen again."

-Destiny, would you have done anything differently?

-Yes. I... Me and Rob clicked immediately the first day.

I think I wish I gave more guys a chance and, like,

not put all my eggs in one basket.

-Who do you wish you would have spoken to

or given a little more time to? - Kendall,

but I didn't start talking to him till the very end,

and I knew he was gonna go back to Nicole.

-Do you think Kendall could have swayed?

-If I had a conversation from day one and invested more time,

I think possibly. - Ooh.

-I don't think Kendall would have turned his head, though.

-He was the most... I will say he was the most loyal.

- Yeah. - He was egging

all the other boys on. - Yeah.

-But you know what? Not really, though.

-Was he not?

-In my opinion, I don't think he was.

I think that he was really egging on Kordell,

because, in my opinion, I love Serena,

but from an outsider's, like, point of view,

I'm watching, and I'm like, okay,

one minute, she's, like, all into him.

The next minute, she likes another...

- She's a slow burner! - Thank you. Thank you!

Thank you. This is what I said, and I got attacked for it

last segment. I said the same thing.

-No, not attacked. She's a slow burner.

- Yeah. - If you have been in a house

with someone for, I don't know, a couple of weeks,

and you're still working so hard to try and get their affection,

and you still don't know where you stand with them,

and then you meet a girl that's like all-in day one,

and she's giving you everything you want?

-She really, really,

really likes him.

Daia and Kordell, I absolutely love them.

I ship them 110%.

He was so happy,

and you could, like, see the glow on his face.

- Yeah. - So with Kendall, like,

being, like, devil's advocate... - That was chap stick.

That was her chap stick.

-Moving on to Catherine, Kenny, and JaNa now,

the words of JaNa, "Fuck Casa."

Are we surprised that Kenny brought Catherine back? Kay Kay?

-I'm a little surprised. I feel like Kenny was just

kind of all over the place during Casa.

- Yeah. - Yeah, you don't say.

-It was like, he's just here for the vibes.

Yeah. - So, it was kind of

like a love triangle with Kenny, Catherine, and myself.

With Kenny, he would say one thing to me,

and then after, like, seeing it all, like, go down,

he was saying the exact same things to her.

Like long-term goals, short-term goals?

-Run, JaNa, run!

-Are you... I'm sorry, but are you fucking kidding me?

You literally asked me those questions days before,

and then you ask Catherine the same thing after?

Like, that's just, like, a player, in my opinion.

-Well, the guy doesn't sound like...

It seems like he comes up with one thing.

He doesn't have a whole lot of other...

- He's got one line. - Bouncing around in his head.

- That's it. - It was smooth

coming back in, though. He's like... I was like,

"how's he gonna talk his way out of this one?"

He goes, "I thought you were doing the same thing back here."

- My gosh. - And I was like, "Okay."

-Ignacio, I need to ask you, were you surprised

JaNa didn't couple up with Josiah or Jacoby?

-Yes, 100%.

I had no idea which one,

because she's really nice, and it's really difficult to read.

You couldn't tell who was better,

like who was she lean to.

They're both really different person, you know,

really different personalities.

But I was really surprised that she didn't pick any of them.

Really surprised. - I will say JaNa was like

the one person I was hoping would actually bring a guy back,

you know? I was like, "Slay for Serena and Kaylor

to stand up there on their own."

But I was like, "I was really hoping,"

I was like, "Girl, come on, bring someone in."

'Cause I did see, like, she had

genuine connections with both of them.

-Okay, well, thank you so much, everyone.

That was great chat and very juicy.

Give it up for Ignacio, Destiny, and Sydney

and our panel, everyone!

Okay, still to come, Liv joins us live from the Beach Hut,

and we reveal the super bombshells,

the two iconic ex-islanders

set for an explosive return to the Villa.

See you in a few.

Okay. - So juicy.

-You're back with "Love Island USA Aftersun."

Time for one of my "Aftersun" highlights now,

my weekly Beach Hut party.

And our VIP guest tonight brings the party wherever she goes.

It's Liv!

Hi, Liv!

-Hi. That was so nice.

- Thank you. - You like that?

-Yes. Who doesn't want to be called the life of the party?

-How are you enjoying life in the Villa?

-I am absolutely loving it.

I mean, I'm by the pool every day eating gummies, sweets,

like, finding some gossip. Like, I love it.

-Sticking up for your girls?

- Yes. I mean, we have to. - We love to see it.

-Thank you so much.

I mean, the girl power's strong this year, for sure.

- Yes. - We love that.

-You went into Casa carefree and single.

How different was your experience

compared to the other girls?

-I feel like I didn't have to

have, like, a little person to look after.

Like, I could just, like, run wild.

So the other girls had to, like, be, like, a little bit cautious.

But I was just like a headless chuck.

I was like, "Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys."

-We love you for it.

-You had your pick of the boys. Why Caine?

-I feel like Caine is funny.

He doesn't care. He will say it straight up.

I love someone who just, like,

gets the problem over and done with.

And, like, he's attractive.

So, I mean, that's like a trifecta, right?

-I love that.

-Right, Liv, while I've got you...

- Yes. - You're a straight talker.

- Very much. - Are you prepared

to dish the dirt on your fellow islanders?

I'll ask you some quick-fire questions.

- Okay. - You give me the first islander

that pops into your head, okay? - Yeah.

- Okay, let's go. - Okay.

-Who is the loudest islander?

Aaron.

- Or me, but... - No hesitation there.

- Yeah. - Who's the messiest?

-Wait, as in, like, room-wise? 'Cause Kaylor.

But as in, like, messy like between two people,

Leah. - Ooh. That's tea.

-Who's the most trustworthy?

- Serena. - Aww.

-Shout-out Serena.

-Which islander is playing a game?

- Daniela. - Why? Why?

-Because you're with one guy the entire Casa,

and then the night before recoupling,

you go his best friend? I don't know.

Where I come from, that's messy.

-Who has the most red flags?

My God. Um...

Daniela. - Daniela. Again!

-Liv is gonna tell it straight.

-Who has the most green flags?

- Serena. - Aww!

- Justice for Serena. - Yay!

-We love the Serena love.

-Who is the worst dressed?

- Rob. - I knew she was gonna say that.

- Rob. - Rob. The overalls.

-How can I forget the overalls and the spider chain?

- Yeah, those overalls, bin them. - Burn them!

-Who would you snog, marry, avoid?

-Okay. Snog, I would... Kenny.

Marry, Rob.

Avoid, Kordell.

- Marry Rob? - What about Caine?

-Why? For all of them.

-Kenny's tall and sweet, and, like, his morals are good.

Rob, like, has funny humor.

Kordell, I'm just like, "Love you, brother."

But he's like a brother.

-And you're coupled up with Caine, who you didn't mention.

Whoops. Whoopsie!

Did you forget about Caine?

-No...

Well, that's time up.

- My God. - That's so bad of me.

- Liv, one last thing. - Yes.

-When Nicole and Andrea first entered the Villa,

I gave them a secret mission

to get the islanders to say fanny flutters.

- No way. - And now I've got

a secret "Aftersun" mission

for you and you alone. - Okay.

-I want to see if you can do one better.

- Okay. - I want you to take

a brand-new, totally made-up word

and convince the islanders it's a genuine slang word

that you use all the time in Australia.

-Okay. Okay.

-So, I brought fanny flutters to the UK.

- You killed that. - What are you gonna bring

to "Love Island USA"?

My God. Okay, a word?

-Just something absolutely bonkers will do.

- Bobbletrot? - Bobbletrot?

- Bobbletrot. - What are you gonna tell

all the islanders what it means?

-It means, like, that walk you have

when you're really drunk from a night out.

Yeah, I like it.

That's so good. - That is so good.

No hesitation. I love that. - Okay. Bobbletrot. I got this.

-She's gonna make bobbletrot happen. I can feel it.

-Liv, we look forward to your success.

Don't let us down on "Aftersun," now.

-I will not. I will not.

-Give it up for Liv, everyone!

Aww. - Thanks, guys.

- We love you! - Love you, too.

-Alright, next up, I meet the two iconic ex-islanders

set to hit "Love Island" for the second time.

They don't know about each other,

so I'm gonna chat with them separately,

but their identities will be revealed after the break.

I'm gonna need the sofa, guys. [ Laughing ] I'm sorry.

- I forgive you. - See you in a few!

-Welcome back to "Aftersun USA"!

Okay, I can't hold it in any longer.

I can now exclusively reveal, soon to make his return

to the "Love Island" Villa, from Season 5,

it's Harrison!

Welcome, Harrison. - Thank you very much.

- Good to be back? - Nice to be back in Fiji again.

-You left the Villa last season with Emily.

I'm assuming that... You're sitting here alone.

It didn't work out.

-Yeah, no, we're not getting married or anything.

-Okay. What happened?

-Well, she was in I think Texas.

I was in Miami. She came to Miami for a bit,

and we just hung out, spent some time on the beach.

I introduced her to my friends and whatever else,

but it just... just wasn't right.

Just wasn't the right job. - Right.

You went in hard as a bombshell last season

and made a very big impression right away.

Let's have a quick reminder, shall we?

Hi!

- How you doing? - My God.

- There's a boy. There's a boy. - Hello!

-He looks beautiful.

- Hi. - You look lovely. How you doing?

- Thank you. - I'm Harrison.

-I mean, that's a whole lot of man, okay?

- Cheers! - Cheers, cheers, cheers.

-He's a handsome dude.

But you the best dressed out here.

You got the blazer and shit.

-He's tall, good looking, blond, everything that I want to be.

- Thanks for the clap. Thanks. - I mean, even the boys

were interested in you.

How are you gonna beat that?

-I don't know. Like, I just... I come in, do my thing.

I like dressing nice, so it was good.

It helped I had the sparkliest mask, as well, you see, so...

-What's your game plan second time 'round?

-So I'm gonna go in and just,

you know, go for exactly who I want,

just find out about them, get in there I guess head-first

and just see, you know, see what it's all about.

Do you know who you want?

-Nicole's caught my eye from the moment she came in.

-I mean, she seems pretty happy with Kendall, though.

-She does. Yeah, she does, and so that's the only...

I guess that's the only downfall there, right?

-Okay. Anyone else?

-To be honest, I'm gonna say Catherine.

- Catherine. - Yeah.

- Why? - The attraction's there,

and we'll see if anything else follows.

-Harrison, have you been getting ready for the Villa?

Have you been hitting the gym hard?

-I feel like I always train pretty consistently.

-Every day?

- Not every day, not every day. - Every second day?

-But I aim for, yeah, I aim for like five times a week for sure.

-We'll have to just see the rig now.

See? It's not like... It's nothing crazy, right?

Nothing crazy. Work to be done.

Work to be done. - No, no.

No, that... That looks... good.

Final question.

You're going into the most dramatic season yet.

Are you ready to go into that trap?

-Hell yeah. Why not? Like, I'm...

I feel like I'm built to kind of deal with

any sort of social situation, so I'm ready for it.

Maybe that's why they're putting me in at the end.

Yeah.

Okay, well, thank you so much, Harrison.

We are all so excited to see you back in "Love Island."

Do us proud. - My pleasure.

-For now, give it up for Harrison, everyone.

Thanks for having me.

Thank you. - Thank you.

-That's alright.

-Right, time for another huge "Aftersun" exclusive now.

Let's take a look at who else is set to give the Villa

a shocking case of déjà vu next week.

-Hi! Welcome to the Villa!

-The Latina's here!

The boy I would like to couple up with is Leo.

The brunette, I know that he fucked her.

That's disgusting.

So, the person I would like to couple up with is Leo.

-Would you like to be my girlfriend?

-Of course.

-Yes, returning to "Love Island USA," it's Kassy!

Hello!

Thank y'all. It's so nice to see you.

- Great to see you, Maura. - How are you?

What's it like being back in Fiji?

-It's crazy. Like, I still...

I still can't think I'm here.

Like, I've been pinching myself, like, "my gosh.

Is this for real?

-Well, you're returning to "Love Island."

What was your reaction when the producers got in touch?

Was it an easy yes?

- Yeah, it was an easy yes. - Really?

-And it was a text. Surprisingly, I got a text.

- Wow. - So... I know, right?

But, yeah, I'm single.

I've been single, so it was just the perfect timing.

And I was like, you know what? This might be my second shot

at finding love. Yeah. - Yeah, why not?

We had Leo on the show last week.

-Ooh. How was that?

-How shocked is he gonna be that you're going back?

-I think really shocked, honestly.

I mean, hopefully he's rooting for me.

Hopefully he's... He's supporting me.

But it just didn't work out,

and we didn't end things on the best terms.

But I do want the best for him.

-So does that mean you guys aren't speaking now or...

- No, not at all. - No?

- But like I say... - What happened? Why?

-[ Sighs ] It just... Long distance,

and if I have to be honest, the minute I got out,

it's like rose-colored glasses came off,

and I realized I couldn't really get over what happened.

- Aw. - You know, it sucks.

Bittersweet, but it was also a learning lesson for both.

-Have you been watching this season?

Which boys do you think could still have their heads turned?

-If have to be honest, probably all of them.

Maybe Kendall might be a little bit more closed off.

- Yeah. - But even that,

he was kind of open to Sierra.

So, yeah, he's a good-looking guy, let's be honest.

[ Laughs ] But...

-Who else have you got your eye on?

-I think I have my eyes on a lot of guys,

but I do have a few. Maybe Miguel.

I will say, the accent, it does it for me.

- Okay. - But I think he'd also

have to really show me that he's looking for something serious.

And then, this one might shock you.

- God. - It might shock a lot of people,

but this next one is...

-Are you gonna say Rob?

-Maybe? Yeah?

Only because, only because...

The overalls.

-Hey, y'all know I love denim on denim, too.

But no, I think only because, you know, I know him.

There's some history.

We've known each other last summer.

In Casa, we tried to explore, but he was more into Carmen.

I was more into Matia.

-Will Kassy be a bigger test to the islanders than Casa?

- I'd say so. - Ooh.

-Only because I don't have any loyalties

with any of the girls. - Yeah.

-I'm in there to do what I want to do now.

You're going in there for you.

-Yeah. You were second place last year.

Are you here for the win

this time? - You already know...

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

No, honestly, this time, I think I just want to come out

with a strong connection,

with a real connection this time.

I think I'd be winning with just that.

- Yeah. - But we will see.

-I cannot wait to see how you get on in there.

I'm so excited. Make me proud, won't you?

- Thank you, Maura. - Give it up for Kassy, everyone!

- Thank you guys. - Aww.

Alright, time for a quick break now.

But don't go anywhere,

as our panel will be back with their predictions.

See you in a bit.

-What up, "Aftersun"? It's Nikki and Brie.

-Yes, and on this week's "Spill the Tea,"

we are bringing on the queen of "Love Island" socials, Cely.

And you know we're gonna dive into the explosion of Casa Amor,

that traumatic recoupling,

and what you all are saying on social media.

-That is right, Nikki. So make sure to tune in

wherever you get your podcasts.

-Welcome back to "Aftersun."

Our panel are back.

And the news is out.

Kassy and Harrison are returning to "Love Island."

What do we make of this?

-They are the best two islanders to bring back.

- Honestly. - Definitely.

Go, bestie! - They're gonna kill it.

-Kay Kay, you were in there with them.

How do you think the girls are gonna respond

to Harrison going in? - I think they're gonna

be excited. I mean, he's hot.

- He's hot. Yeah. - That's all he needs, right?

-He looks like he could be related to one

of the Hemsworth brothers.

- He's interesting. - I agree.

- Yeah. - I agree with that.

How do you think the boys are gonna react to Kassy?

-Ooh, they're gonna be foaming at the mouth.

-She did say she's into Miguel.

-Yeah. I could see that.

-I think he'd be into her, for sure, too.

- Yeah. - I mean, I think they all

are gonna be like, "shit."

- Yeah. - She's fit.

-Yeah. They're gonna be wishing they weren't in a couple...

- Yeah, that's for sure. - Already.

-I mean, if it has a pulse, I feel like Miguel's into it.

You know what I mean?

-That's actually very real, yeah.

-If it's alive, Miguel's like, "Yeah, that's my type."

- Wow. - Why can I actually see

Rob, like, going for Kassy?

-They have history.

-I could actually kind of see that.

-Yeah, from Casa.

-And after all the chaos, I feel like that could be

a comfortable, like, safe space maybe.

- Maybe. - I don't know. You never know.

-Could be. I'm just anxious to see how it all plays out.

I feel like Kendall would be a good match for her.

I'm just not sure if he'll be willing.

-But we don't want to break up Kendall and Nicole, do we?

-No, I don't want to break up Kendall and Nicole, no.

-We don't want to give, you know, homewrecker.

-Kendall is not giving up Nicole.

- No, he's not. - I think he's actually into her.

I think she's actually into him.

I think out of all of the couples in the Villa,

I think they give off the most, like, real relationship energy.

And, I mean, again, you've made it through Casa Amor.

I think that was the big test. - Yeah.

- I think that was the big test. - And they passed.

- And they passed. - They passed.

- They passed. - They passed.

-Right, Johnny, I've got to ask.

You were on "Traitors US" with Bergie.

We love Bergie.

- Love Bergie. - What was he like?

- Dude. - I mean, I think Bergie...

How he made it on this show, I have absolutely no idea.

No, for real.

I mean, I really do feel like this was, like,

you know, him being a fish out of water.

But, dude, Bergie's just such a lovable guy.

-And he found his person, as well.

- He did. - He found his person.

He did really well on "Traitors."

But I think that's... Again, I think going back to, like,

just, he's just genuine.

He is who he is. Such a sweet guy.

So I'm all about Bergie. I'm Team Bergie, man.

He's a good dude. - Team Bergie.

-Which of the islanders this year do you think

would make a good "Traitors" contestant?

Man. Apparently, Aaron won

the UK version of "Traitors." - He did. He did.

- He did that. - As a Faithful,

which is kind of ironic, 'cause the guy's as...

He's about as far... - He's giving Traitor on here.

-He's giving not faithful.

That doesn't surprise me, though.

But who would I think... Who would be a good Traitor?

I think Liv would be... I think Liv would be a great Traitor.

-Ooh, that's a good one.

She'd be phenomenal. - She just... She's hard to read.

And I think regardless of which position you put her in,

Traitor or Faithful, she'd be... she'd be a tough nut to crack.

- Yeah. - I mean, here I am

giving advice on how to, you know, do well on "Traitors,"

and I was there for a total of 72 hours.

- 72 hours? - I had one outfit change.

-They said, "Get rid of Bananas. He talks too much."

-I didn't make it to one breakfast. Yeah.

No, it was more like, "This motherfucker's too dangerous.

We don't want him here."

-Right, enough about "Traitors."

Let's talk about the week ahead. - Okay.

-Who's headed for heartbreak, do you think?

-Aaron and Kaylor.

- They're already at heartbreak. - But I feel like even if they

get back together, it's still gonna be...

Like, I feel like even if they get back together,

there's gonna be heartbreak there,

because that's not something you can just get over.

And they're gonna be battling that,

I feel like, in the Villa and even when they get out,

if they stay together, you know? I mean, we know from experience.

-Yeah. Even if she says she forgives him...

-When you get out of the Villa, it's a whole other story.

- Yeah. - I think Kordell and Daia,

I think that they're in it for the long haul.

- No way, Jose. - Definitely not.

- She's headed for heartbreak. - Not a chance.

- With him? - She's headed for heartbreak.

-This guy's not breaking anyone's heart.

If anyone, he's getting his heart broken.

-He's gonna run back to Serena,

and Serena will not take him back.

-She won't take him back, and he knows that.

- Yeah, but he's still gonna try! - No, he won't.

-Yeah, and that's gonna break her heart at the end of the day.

It's gonna break Daia's heart. - No. Agree to disagree.

-Well, movie night is coming. How excited are we?

- I'm so excited. - We love movie night.

- Yep. - My stomach is turning

thinking about movie night.

- I can't wait to see it. - It's gonna be carnage.

-It's gonna be amazing.

-Here's what I see happening, alright?

You're gonna have Kaylor rekindling

and then her having to watch more videos

of what Aaron did in Casa Amor,

and it's just gonna, like, reopen all those wounds.

- Yeah, absolutely. - And then you're gonna have

Kendall narrating the whole thing.

- Right. - In the background.

The peanut gallery. - And that's gonna break

her heart more, too. - I know.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

-Well, thank you so much, guys.

Great chat, as always.

Our panel, everyone!

That's all we have time for tonight.

Huge thank-you to all my guests.

Join us next Saturday for more tea and exclusives.

New "Love Island" drops tomorrow night on Peacock.

Don't miss it. Good night!
