Love Island (EP 7): Double Standards, Rising Tensions, As America Votes · I Do, Part 2

0:02
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, June tenth, and forget everything
0:06
Speaker 1: I said yesterday about being done with Love Island. I'm back, baby,
0:11
Speaker 1: and this is once again after one show, one of
0:14
Speaker 1: my absolute favorite shows on television. And with that, welcome
0:18
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ. It helped that
0:21
Speaker 1: there wasn't a kissing game in this episode, but that's
0:23
Speaker 1: not why Robes I'm back and I love this show again.
0:26
Speaker 2: Yes, because now it's back into the intra workings and
0:30
Speaker 2: complications and ego fueled insecurity riddled relationships. Love it, yes,
0:38
Speaker 2: but I do appreciate the fact that there was less kissing.
0:40
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was a breath of fresh air.
0:43
Speaker 2: To steal a line from Sincere as he was describing soul,
0:48
Speaker 2: what did you say she was a breath of fresh air?
0:50
Speaker 1: Oh? Is that the line he used?
0:51
Speaker 2: Yes?
0:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to get into Sincere and Soul. This
0:56
Speaker 1: is season eight, episode seven, and it's amazing from one too.
1:01
Speaker 1: Every single episode I know I have and we've all
1:04
Speaker 1: been talked about this. The person we loved in episode
1:07
Speaker 1: one ends up being the person we hate an episode seven. Well,
1:09
Speaker 1: the person we hate an episode two starts growing on
1:12
Speaker 1: us by episode six, and it's just you go through
1:15
Speaker 1: these cycles, Robes, and I cannot believe we're here, that
1:18
Speaker 1: I'm actually saying Sincere is now one of my favorites
1:23
Speaker 1: now that he is moving on from Melanie.
1:26
Speaker 2: Well he hasn't moved on yet. There's still a couple. Okay,
1:29
Speaker 2: the door is still open. But it is funny Seer
1:32
Speaker 2: and soul like even their names go together.
1:35
Speaker 1: Oh oh, make make that Instagram handle Soul Seer right
1:41
Speaker 1: you want to call it? Uh, it works for me.
1:44
Speaker 1: But Robes, Yes, this is why I love this show. Robes.
1:48
Speaker 1: You saw this stuff play out, the pain, the egos,
1:53
Speaker 1: the vulnerability, the insecurities played out in real relation. They've
1:59
Speaker 1: only known each other a week. But Robes, there's so
2:01
Speaker 1: much here we identify of that was a mistake, That's
2:04
Speaker 1: what you should have done. This is what I can
2:05
Speaker 1: do better. We can see it from Afar and Robes.
2:09
Speaker 1: I always love these are real relationship issues playing out.
2:12
Speaker 2: It's true, and I think at first you might roll
2:14
Speaker 2: your eyes and think, please, these people have only known
2:16
Speaker 2: each other for a week, But it's incredibly intense. Think
2:20
Speaker 2: about it. You are immediately coupled up with someone you're
2:23
Speaker 2: sleeping next to them, you're making out with them, you're
2:27
Speaker 2: vibing them, everyone's watching. So yes, it's a pressure cooker
2:33
Speaker 2: of an intense relationship from the get go. So all
2:38
Speaker 2: of the things that usually come up in a relationship
2:40
Speaker 2: later on after the honeymoon period is over, are all
2:43
Speaker 2: coming up now because you've got temptation, you've got distractions,
2:47
Speaker 2: you've got all of this intensity, and you get to
2:50
Speaker 2: kind of see how relationships work in incredible pressure.
2:55
Speaker 1: But the problem with this one, Robes, is that after
2:58
Speaker 1: a week they're behaving like people who have been committed
3:00
Speaker 1: relationships for two years in that Yes, I expect you
3:04
Speaker 1: to respect our relationship. I expect you to not be
3:08
Speaker 1: up on somebody else. I expect you to be committed
3:11
Speaker 1: to us always. That thing after a week you wouldn't
3:14
Speaker 1: expect in a normal no relationship. But they are, like
3:17
Speaker 1: you said, in a pressure cooker. And also, Robes, the
3:19
Speaker 1: pressure is they don't want to get sent home, right,
3:21
Speaker 1: they're still competing.
3:23
Speaker 2: If you are left uncoupled, if you are left single,
3:26
Speaker 2: as they call it on the Villa, all you are
3:29
Speaker 2: vulnerable and highly likely you're about to get kicked off
3:33
Speaker 2: the show. So not only is it about being invested
3:35
Speaker 2: in a relationship. It's about staying on the show as
3:39
Speaker 2: a competitor. So you've got two pressures on top of one.
3:44
Speaker 1: Doesn't that cause people to act in ways maybe they
3:46
Speaker 1: wouldn't have or does it make them some of the
3:49
Speaker 1: ways and tendencies they already have become highlighting it.
3:55
Speaker 2: I think the best and worst of you comes out
3:57
Speaker 2: because you are under a pressure cooker. Yes, we all
4:00
Speaker 2: have insecure sides to us. We all have, and that's
4:05
Speaker 2: why I can even identify as people are making bad
4:08
Speaker 2: choices and doing the wrong thing or saying the wrong thing,
4:11
Speaker 2: or reacting the wrong way. We can see ourselves in
4:15
Speaker 2: all of those choices, in different versions of our lives
4:19
Speaker 2: and relationships.
4:20
Speaker 1: And that is why I have always loved this show.
4:22
Speaker 1: And now that we finally got into that, I'm like, Okay,
4:25
Speaker 1: here it is.
4:26
Speaker 2: Here's why I was waiting for this, and now we're
4:29
Speaker 2: at this point of the show.
4:30
Speaker 1: And so I was relieved. I've apologized for the producers
4:34
Speaker 1: of Love Island for questioning anything you were doing, but
4:37
Speaker 1: we've gotten back around to the stuff that I love.
4:39
Speaker 1: En roll up to the highlight here or the I
4:41
Speaker 1: guess really the center of this last show, and all
4:45
Speaker 1: the confrontations had to do with the game they played,
4:47
Speaker 1: this kissing game. They've been playing these kissing games, and
4:50
Speaker 1: when they bring in these new bombshells, who behind the
4:53
Speaker 1: scenes are sneaking around and kissing some of the coupled
4:57
Speaker 1: up people. Anyway, what I'm getting to here is that
5:00
Speaker 1: this episode was all about the girls now being upset
5:05
Speaker 1: that they're guys not by their own choice, but were
5:11
Speaker 1: chosen by the news bombshells to just make out right
5:14
Speaker 1: there in front of them. All the girls were blindfolded
5:18
Speaker 1: so they didn't even see it, but Robes now that
5:20
Speaker 1: they have heard about what happened with these bombshells, they
5:23
Speaker 1: all got pretty upset.
5:24
Speaker 2: They were very upset, and look, I totally first want
5:28
Speaker 2: to validate your feelings because there is absolutely a double standard,
5:32
Speaker 2: and you were going crazy because you were like, look
5:33
Speaker 2: at this. The girls are all upset now, and they
5:36
Speaker 2: did the exact same thing to the boys. So they
5:39
Speaker 2: laughed it off and said it was just a game.
5:41
Speaker 2: I was just playing around. But when the guys do it,
5:44
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you've threatened the couple, You've betrayed
5:48
Speaker 2: the trust. And I agree It is an absolute double standard.
5:52
Speaker 2: There's no question. You cannot put any other spin on it.
5:54
Speaker 2: And I would argue the guys had it worse because
5:58
Speaker 2: in that kissing game, they they weren't blindfolded, and they
6:01
Speaker 2: saw their women who were blindfolded behave in a way
6:05
Speaker 2: that if it were reversed, it would have been relationship ending. Now,
6:09
Speaker 2: I will also say that because the girls were blindfolded,
6:13
Speaker 2: they might not have realized just how bad it looked.
6:16
Speaker 2: They might have gotten swept up in the idea that
6:19
Speaker 2: they were playing around, and they didn't actually take a
6:22
Speaker 2: beat to think, WHOA, what does this look like? Not good.
6:29
Speaker 1: Robes, this is a And I don't even want to
6:33
Speaker 1: take it completely with I know it's a game, and
6:36
Speaker 1: it's a different situation, a different pressure cooker, but I
6:39
Speaker 1: was fascinated to see it all play out. Every woman,
6:43
Speaker 1: every single woman, not just a little annoyed a man.
6:46
Speaker 1: I hate that we're talking tears. We are talking accusations
6:50
Speaker 1: of not being in this or fair to me or betrayala.
6:54
Speaker 1: It was over the top in taking the guys to task.
6:59
Speaker 1: That was to me at least so telling and remarkable
7:04
Speaker 1: to watch. It's not just my feelings are hurt, like
7:07
Speaker 1: you're a bad person. You portrayed this relationship by doing
7:11
Speaker 1: the thing that I did with that guy two days ago.
7:16
Speaker 1: That's fascinating to see it play out. And I think
7:19
Speaker 1: a lot of women will look at that and say
7:20
Speaker 1: to guys and explain this, Explain this, explain this, and
7:24
Speaker 1: absolutely justify just like the girls in the show have done. Melanie,
7:29
Speaker 1: I think showed a little bit robe. She showed a
7:32
Speaker 1: little She was a little apologetic, but I thought that
7:34
Speaker 1: was desperation. She thought she was about to lose her guy.
7:36
Speaker 2: Well, she was begging at the end. She was begging
7:39
Speaker 2: at the end. But I do think it's fascinating. We
7:42
Speaker 2: had this conversation as we're especially watching Anaya explain to
7:47
Speaker 2: Case why she was hurt, and you were just kind
7:50
Speaker 2: of a gas because you thought, are you kidding me?
7:52
Speaker 2: She was straddling a guy making out with him right
7:54
Speaker 2: next to Case yesterday, and yes, that is correct, But
7:58
Speaker 2: I also said, look, I do think it was cool
8:01
Speaker 2: to see her, whether it was justified or not, explain
8:05
Speaker 2: how she was feeling. At least get it out. And
8:07
Speaker 2: then he casey man, he said and did all the
8:10
Speaker 2: right things. I got to say. He reassured her. He
8:12
Speaker 2: didn't tell her she was being ridiculous, even though he
8:15
Speaker 2: could have. He actually just said, I hate that I
8:18
Speaker 2: hurt you. I hate that you feel this way, and
8:21
Speaker 2: you know, apologized and she calmed down immediately, not what
8:26
Speaker 2: probably you would have said, maybe more aligning along the
8:29
Speaker 2: lines of what Zach said. I thought how Zach handled
8:31
Speaker 2: it was really cool with Kada. He just said, hey,
8:34
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know, and well, we'll
8:37
Speaker 2: get into Zach because then he he did act defensively,
8:40
Speaker 2: but that night he was hurt right, and he told her, hey,
8:43
Speaker 2: I told the girls that I was closed off, that
8:46
Speaker 2: we were a thing. But he was like, you were
8:47
Speaker 2: up there straddling this guy enjoying it way too much,
8:50
Speaker 2: and that hurt my feelings. And so he didn't have
8:54
Speaker 2: that acknowledged. And she did apologize. But then he said,
8:57
Speaker 2: and so I kind of take back that I'm closed
9:00
Speaker 2: off thing. I'm open for business.
9:02
Speaker 1: But that is great point because a lot of them
9:05
Speaker 1: seem to have that attitude. And this is what hurt
9:07
Speaker 1: people often do. Right. You want to hurt back, You
9:09
Speaker 1: want to get revenge in some way. Now, if you
9:12
Speaker 1: had time years with somebody and something went down, you'd
9:17
Speaker 1: be able to say that hurt me. I don't want
9:19
Speaker 1: you to ever do that again. I don't ever want
9:20
Speaker 1: to feel like that. I don't want to be in
9:22
Speaker 1: that position. He's playing a game. There's been a week,
9:25
Speaker 1: so it's so true. Okay, I guess this is where
9:27
Speaker 1: we are. Why would he then go and commit double
9:30
Speaker 1: down in a commitment to someone after a week after
9:32
Speaker 1: you just showed me that.
9:33
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's really feeling her and he's afraid
9:35
Speaker 2: of getting hurt. And then she's when he told her
9:38
Speaker 2: that he was closed off and was only going to
9:39
Speaker 2: be with her, she was so happy. So the next
9:42
Speaker 2: morning to wake up and have him go, yeah, never mind,
9:44
Speaker 2: I think we should. We should, you know, be open.
9:47
Speaker 2: She ran straight for Corbin. Sorry, she went straight for Caleb,
9:53
Speaker 2: and he went straight for Jen the blonde. Yes, so
9:58
Speaker 2: they immediately. It was just a amazing to see hurt
10:01
Speaker 2: feelings all show you. That's what happens.
10:04
Speaker 1: And this is why I say, Robes, there are relationship
10:06
Speaker 1: lessons if you can step back and just watch that,
10:08
Speaker 1: bless your baby. Sorry, if you just step back and
10:11
Speaker 1: watch this. Plus you again, man, you're allergic to my bullshit.
10:15
Speaker 1: But if you just step back and see what is
10:18
Speaker 1: happening Robes and watch it play out there, you see
10:22
Speaker 1: some behaviors you don't ever want to emulate. You see
10:25
Speaker 1: some things you never want to do in a relationship,
10:28
Speaker 1: and Robes part of it. Sometimes if you gotta take
10:31
Speaker 1: an l you gotta take a little loss, you gotta
10:33
Speaker 1: take a little hurt to the heart, pavee when this happens.
10:36
Speaker 1: But you see them retaliate. You see even in some
10:39
Speaker 1: of their words, what does what you're gonna do? Man,
10:41
Speaker 1: I can go do that too, like it's a tit
10:43
Speaker 1: for tat. And that's so those lessons Robes I saw.
10:47
Speaker 2: It's crazy. And Casey could have absolutely said, oh yeah,
10:52
Speaker 2: you think I hurt you, you hurt me? You were
10:55
Speaker 2: He didn't even go there. He didn't point the finger
10:57
Speaker 2: at her at all when he totally could have, And
11:00
Speaker 2: he just said, I'm so sorry I hurt you. Man.
11:03
Speaker 2: That was restraint and that was a loving thing to do,
11:07
Speaker 2: and it was selfless. I was so impressed with him.
11:11
Speaker 1: And there it is, Robes why maybe the biggest relationship
11:14
Speaker 1: lesson in the show this last episode. Listen, He just listened,
11:22
Speaker 1: didn't defend, didn't deflect.
11:24
Speaker 2: Just listened, and he absolutely could have said, girl, you
11:28
Speaker 2: were doing that thing too, like.
11:31
Speaker 1: You need to stop, you need to stop now. She
11:33
Speaker 1: loved to hear it, and she loosened up, and she
11:37
Speaker 1: once again put him in the position where you shouldn't
11:40
Speaker 1: have done this, and that he never pushed back and
11:42
Speaker 1: let her. But it's not reasonable, robes, and it doesn't
11:45
Speaker 1: feel good for case. It's week one, but robes in
11:48
Speaker 1: month one, in month six, if month twelve, in year five,
11:54
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing, robes. She wasn't did she apologize
11:58
Speaker 1: at all?
12:00
Speaker 2: And hear that because I didn't hear him bring up
12:02
Speaker 2: any of her actions, he could tell she was genuinely
12:06
Speaker 2: hurt and scared, and I think he went into comfort mode. Look,
12:10
Speaker 2: he is a nurse assistant. He works at a nursing
12:13
Speaker 2: home where he cares for people. I actually can't remember
12:17
Speaker 2: where he is from. But I saw the nurse and
12:20
Speaker 2: him come out, and it was actually really beautiful. He
12:23
Speaker 2: put his own feelings aside, and you could see in
12:25
Speaker 2: his face he was like, come on, what But he
12:28
Speaker 2: decided to listen to her and react to her lovingly
12:32
Speaker 2: instead of getting defensive. It was impressive.
12:34
Speaker 1: That is man, everybody, man, woman. That is how you
12:38
Speaker 1: handle an argument or when somebody's pissed at you or
12:42
Speaker 1: your loved one has but you just stop and listen,
12:45
Speaker 1: Just listen to what's taking place and we can work
12:49
Speaker 1: it out. But that's step number one. Yes, O, Caseee,
12:52
Speaker 1: when I saw it, you say you thought about him
12:54
Speaker 1: being a nurse, a nursing assistant. I like to see
12:57
Speaker 1: his family like he comes from some people that he
13:00
Speaker 1: how about a bunch of women are around him? Yes?
13:02
Speaker 2: I agree, and may I say this? He chose not
13:05
Speaker 2: to call her on anything, right, He just accepted his
13:07
Speaker 2: lumps and apologized for taking any action that made her
13:11
Speaker 2: feel insecure or bad. And then I would argue, if
13:15
Speaker 2: something else comes up, he can say, Babe, I didn't
13:19
Speaker 2: point it out then, but I need you to acknowledge
13:22
Speaker 2: that you also, like if he has capital now, not
13:25
Speaker 2: that you're using ammunition to throw back, but he can
13:28
Speaker 2: offers that she will listen to because she will say, oh,
13:31
Speaker 2: you're right, you didn't bring that up and you could have.
13:34
Speaker 2: That's all. I think that there eventually, hopefully will be
13:38
Speaker 2: some recognition of what he did.
13:40
Speaker 1: He took up. Yes, Casey, is is my hands that
13:45
Speaker 1: He is my favorite. I couldn't the brother who opened
13:48
Speaker 1: the door at in the first episode and nobody on
13:51
Speaker 1: the other side wanted him.
13:53
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
13:56
Speaker 1: Amazing that royalty handled that. We were impressed, like, wow,
13:59
Speaker 1: he's an ouch. He took a stride, so that was
14:02
Speaker 1: all great. He was also great last night with Melanie,
14:05
Speaker 1: and we do need to get into Melanie and Sincere,
14:08
Speaker 1: I thought he was great with her as well in
14:11
Speaker 1: calling her on her bs.
14:13
Speaker 2: With that earl. You're playing girl, you're playing him? Yeah,
14:16
Speaker 2: and he said it with a smile on his face.
14:18
Speaker 2: I think when I watch Casey, it reminds me that
14:21
Speaker 2: you can say anything and be honest with everyone, but
14:25
Speaker 2: you can do it in a kind way.
14:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. He didn't seem to have harm or malice and
14:28
Speaker 1: what else he's saying anger, nothing. He seems to be
14:32
Speaker 1: his joyful with that little playful smirk on his face
14:36
Speaker 1: the whole. This seems like he sees everything that way.
14:38
Speaker 1: But he was talking to Melie at the time, and
14:39
Speaker 1: he was talking to her robes and we got to
14:41
Speaker 1: go back. I have to ask you about the back
14:43
Speaker 1: and forth during the game and the bed where they're
14:45
Speaker 1: all kissing and hands are over and she's blindfold and
14:48
Speaker 1: supposed to be trying to find her man by kissing
14:50
Speaker 1: all the guys. She decides to do a back and
14:54
Speaker 1: forth between her guy, Sincere and Corbin, who were right
14:59
Speaker 1: next to each other. Many time does she go back
15:00
Speaker 1: and forth?
15:01
Speaker 2: I think she went back and forth, like I think
15:04
Speaker 2: she ping ponged twice, So for like kissing Sincere then Corbyn,
15:09
Speaker 2: then Sincere, then Corbyn then Sincere, she went back at
15:12
Speaker 2: least twice.
15:13
Speaker 1: And you really believe her when she said I didn't
15:15
Speaker 1: know which one was mine.
15:17
Speaker 2: No, I don't believe her. She also had a smile
15:19
Speaker 2: on her face. Now, she might not have recognized that
15:22
Speaker 2: it was Corbin specifically, which is where I think she
15:25
Speaker 2: was trying to land her plane, but she certainly knew
15:28
Speaker 2: the moment she kissed Sincere and she chose to kiss
15:30
Speaker 2: someone else beyond that, that's where she made her mistake,
15:33
Speaker 2: and that's where she thought she was playing this game, like, oh,
15:36
Speaker 2: be careful because you know I have choices too. I
15:39
Speaker 2: think that was kind of maybe in the back of
15:41
Speaker 2: her mind. But she, as she pointed out later in
15:43
Speaker 2: the broadcast, she's sabotaging herself by trying to play hard
15:48
Speaker 2: to get or keep her feelings, you know, at least
15:51
Speaker 2: closer to the vest, giving herself options when she knows
15:54
Speaker 2: she wants him, but she's afraid to fully admit it.
15:56
Speaker 1: It backfired, and it has continued to backfire, to the
16:00
Speaker 1: point now that Sincere is over it, Sincere is over,
16:04
Speaker 1: he is her because there's a few things he can
16:08
Speaker 1: point to. I know it's only been a week plus
16:09
Speaker 1: of the show, but there are some things you can
16:11
Speaker 1: point to that it seemed intentional, that she was inconsiderate,
16:15
Speaker 1: like she was trying to send a message. You really
16:18
Speaker 1: are right here. He knows you're going back, and you
16:20
Speaker 1: know this is him. Why are you over here playing
16:22
Speaker 1: and kissing back and forth? Well, you know what that
16:24
Speaker 1: feels like. You imagine whoever you're with making out with
16:30
Speaker 1: you and then turning to the person to your left
16:32
Speaker 1: and making out, then coming back to you and making
16:34
Speaker 1: out and then turn into the person.
16:35
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's terrible.
16:37
Speaker 1: Think about that.
16:37
Speaker 2: That is terrible.
16:39
Speaker 1: She did that on purpose to him, she did, Okay,
16:42
Speaker 1: this was one and then oh yeah, add to that
16:44
Speaker 1: when they bring out the bombshells, the new bombshells.
16:47
Speaker 2: Oh, she was screaming and jumping up and down, and
16:50
Speaker 2: I was thinking, huh, he's your type, and she later
16:53
Speaker 2: admitted he wasn't, so she was just doing it for sure, and.
16:57
Speaker 1: He had to see that. And he is sitting that
17:00
Speaker 1: laying on the bed next to her with his arm
17:04
Speaker 1: handcuffed to the bed, can't move, and is watching her
17:07
Speaker 1: jump up and down, going over the top like we
17:10
Speaker 1: just won the championship, cheerleader type stuff or another guy
17:15
Speaker 1: coming in. What is she doing?
17:16
Speaker 2: She thinks she's playing a hard to get game, but
17:21
Speaker 2: that does not work because that just feels awful, and
17:24
Speaker 2: it feels manipulative, it feels performative, and it certainly doesn't
17:28
Speaker 2: feel loving. Look, if you're in it for the long
17:30
Speaker 2: haul and also knowing America's watching, I know that this
17:33
Speaker 2: is maybe too strategic for anyone to even be considering.
17:36
Speaker 2: But you know, you look like an asshole. Like it's
17:38
Speaker 2: far better to love, to be sincere, to try to
17:43
Speaker 2: be as authentic as possible, and to get your heart
17:45
Speaker 2: broken in front of America than to be the villain
17:48
Speaker 2: because the heartbreaker.
17:49
Speaker 1: Because right now that's what happens.
17:52
Speaker 2: It feels powerful to be the heartbreaker. Yeah, but actually
17:56
Speaker 2: you look like an asshole.
17:57
Speaker 1: You know what, tell folks on was it this EP episode?
18:00
Speaker 1: It might have been the one before, but it was
18:01
Speaker 1: a line. I don't think we got a chance to
18:02
Speaker 1: talk about. But this is something that people say and
18:05
Speaker 1: do it in practice. I need to make sure the
18:10
Speaker 1: other person wants me more than I want that person.
18:13
Speaker 2: Yepes.
18:15
Speaker 1: Anybody, if you want a relationship Lesson, please don't let
18:18
Speaker 1: that ever come into your.
18:19
Speaker 2: Snce here talked about it. He said he has his
18:21
Speaker 2: friends who won't date anyone unless they know the girl
18:25
Speaker 2: likes them a little more than they like her. It's
18:27
Speaker 2: all about a power struggle and that's what you see
18:29
Speaker 2: play out with folks who need to feel like they're
18:33
Speaker 2: in control, and you can spot them right here on
18:36
Speaker 2: the show.
18:37
Speaker 1: And again, Ropes, it's probably coming from it's not playing
18:40
Speaker 1: out well, but it's probably coming from a not an
18:43
Speaker 1: awful place. Somebody that's been hurt, that's been making bad decisions.
18:46
Speaker 1: It feels powerless, yes, and doesn't want to be vulnerable anymore.
18:51
Speaker 1: And you have to when it comes to love, even
18:54
Speaker 1: if that love is on an island in Fiji in
18:57
Speaker 1: front of everybody in the world. You just have to
18:59
Speaker 1: do it here, folks, we will let you know where
19:02
Speaker 1: our votes will go, because at the end of the
19:05
Speaker 1: episode they did let everybody know they want you to
19:09
Speaker 1: vote on who you think the Bombshells should pick. It
19:14
Speaker 1: ain't even close for us.
19:16
Speaker 2: Stay here, Welcome back everyone to our Love Island USA
19:29
Speaker 2: edition of Amy and TJ. We're talking about episode eight.
19:33
Speaker 2: It dropped last night. I'm sorry, did I jump ahead?
19:36
Speaker 2: It's episode seven, Episode eight is to tomorrow night, Season eight,
19:41
Speaker 2: episode seven. Wow, I just nailed that.
19:44
Speaker 1: But it would be easy next time just to say
19:45
Speaker 1: eight eight.
19:47
Speaker 2: I'll get it next time for sure. But yeah, So
19:50
Speaker 2: now the show ended with a vote, and this is
19:54
Speaker 2: where it gets kind of fun, because, look, these producers
19:56
Speaker 2: are brilliant. They give you something every single day to
20:00
Speaker 2: talk about. It seems to be the number one trending
20:03
Speaker 2: topic on X almost every day. And now you get
20:06
Speaker 2: to weigh and now you get to help decide who
20:09
Speaker 2: these bombshells are going to pick, and that's going to
20:12
Speaker 2: upend all these couples. Like everything's all tossed up and around.
20:17
Speaker 2: And so we have our votes. I think we're in agreement,
20:20
Speaker 2: and it feels like most of America will be on
20:24
Speaker 2: the same page.
20:24
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, and you know we haven't even acted. We
20:27
Speaker 1: haven't even talked about the bombshells at all. Yes, klub, Caleb,
20:31
Speaker 1: Jen and Seoul. Correct, Caleb is from the South brother
20:35
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. Think he lives in North Carolina.
20:37
Speaker 2: Charleston, South Carolina.
20:38
Speaker 1: He's in Charleston now, but from North Carolina. Originally correct Soul,
20:42
Speaker 1: I can't remember where she's from, but she says she's
20:44
Speaker 1: a wait.
20:45
Speaker 2: She lives in LA.
20:48
Speaker 1: She's from Orange.
20:49
Speaker 2: She's from Orange. Yes, and she lives in LA. And
20:51
Speaker 2: then Jen lives in La as well, but she wants
20:54
Speaker 2: to move to Miami, which certainly picked Gabriel's interest.
20:58
Speaker 1: Yes, so we got one model, an elevator repair guy,
21:03
Speaker 1: and a waitress correct out the new group. All right,
21:07
Speaker 1: so first impressions. I like the Caleb be seems nice enough.
21:11
Speaker 1: I actually said he's too nice to be on the show.
21:13
Speaker 2: Caleb reminded me of Ryan Gosling in The Notebook Ladies.
21:17
Speaker 2: Anyone else get that vibe? I think it's kind of obvious.
21:20
Speaker 2: He's like that sweet awe shucks, emotional but cute with
21:24
Speaker 2: the dimple blonde, curly haired guy from the South. Yeah.
21:27
Speaker 1: But he's Ryan Gosling. He just seems like a solid dude.
21:31
Speaker 1: Not too much to him, but you don't want too
21:32
Speaker 1: much to him. I actually like that guy. Haven't figured
21:35
Speaker 1: out the young lady, Jen Jen questions of her.
21:38
Speaker 2: Gen seems sweet enough, she's yeah, I don't know a
21:43
Speaker 2: lot about her. I know that Gabrielle seemed really, really
21:48
Speaker 2: really into her and Bea tried to act like she
21:51
Speaker 2: didn't care, but she did a lot. Well you know better,
21:54
Speaker 2: she said, if someone can walk in and turn his head,
21:56
Speaker 2: then he wasn't for me anyway, says the person who's
22:00
Speaker 2: defensive at all.
22:01
Speaker 1: And then Soul. So Soul comes in the pix. The haircut,
22:05
Speaker 1: they say, but very short hair. Seems like a sweet girl,
22:08
Speaker 1: big smile. She actually she looks joyful.
22:11
Speaker 2: She had a hollyberry vibe to her and yees seems
22:14
Speaker 2: look just at them, but she seems sweet. She seemed grounded.
22:20
Speaker 2: She seemed kind of perfect for Sincere.
22:24
Speaker 1: So there you go, Robes. The two of them got.
22:26
Speaker 1: She obviously caught his eye when he first when she
22:29
Speaker 1: first came in, but given all he's been dealing with,
22:32
Speaker 1: he was with Melanie trying to make it work because
22:34
Speaker 1: he didn't have another option that he liked. He does
22:37
Speaker 1: now he.
22:39
Speaker 2: Really likes Soul, so I have I actually, I am
22:42
Speaker 2: gonna say this, I have zero doubt, zero doubt that
22:45
Speaker 2: America is going to choose that Soul picks sincere and
22:50
Speaker 2: everybody's going to be cheering. I think we can all
22:51
Speaker 2: agree with that.
22:52
Speaker 1: And if and if anyone wants to study this show
22:55
Speaker 1: later of how to come in as a bombshell, study her.
22:59
Speaker 1: She wasn't too aggressive. She was At one point I
23:02
Speaker 1: pointed out, she just kind of touched his hand when
23:03
Speaker 1: she was laughing. She's doing just enough and playing this
23:06
Speaker 1: game right to where you don't hate her.
23:09
Speaker 2: No, And I actually think Jen did a good job too.
23:11
Speaker 2: I don't think either one of these bombshells came in
23:14
Speaker 2: came in guns blaze and thinking I'm gonna steal your man,
23:17
Speaker 2: because we've seen plenty of them do that and you
23:19
Speaker 2: immediately get an ick feeling. I thought both of them
23:21
Speaker 2: were respectful and sweet, even if k were in sexy lingerie. Yes,
23:27
Speaker 2: they actually yes, and Kay, they all came in very respectful.
23:30
Speaker 2: It was a nice group of good looking people.
23:32
Speaker 1: Look, if they all stayed on the show, I would
23:34
Speaker 1: be okay with that same you said a nice girl,
23:36
Speaker 1: I have to I'm only throwing this thing because it
23:38
Speaker 1: was a moment you pointed out just to enjoy time ago.
23:41
Speaker 1: The outfits they were wearing, I mean this fun and playful.
23:44
Speaker 1: I didn't notice on that were they all wearing the
23:46
Speaker 1: same one?
23:46
Speaker 2: Well? No, there were slightly different versions, but it was
23:49
Speaker 2: Kada look again, stunning girl model body. But there was
23:53
Speaker 2: a point because the way they have the microphones, she's
23:56
Speaker 2: walking and it looked like she literally was completely naked.
24:00
Speaker 2: I mean I could see her complete and total body,
24:04
Speaker 2: like the the teeny G string she had on from
24:07
Speaker 2: the back like and she it was back list. It
24:10
Speaker 2: just like looked like I was staring at her naked
24:12
Speaker 2: body and it felt really wrong.
24:15
Speaker 1: As crazy as sound, I didn't even notice.
24:18
Speaker 2: You're so used to it now you're like, yeah.
24:20
Speaker 1: Well it might be that, But you know, I was
24:22
Speaker 1: relieved that I like this show again after this episode.
24:25
Speaker 1: So everybody spills to vote. This was the same as
24:28
Speaker 1: the last coupling that didn't seem to be a whole
24:31
Speaker 1: lot of drama, and it doesn't. This seems to be
24:33
Speaker 1: pretty easy about who these bombshells should picked.
24:35
Speaker 2: The only So the only one I would say is
24:37
Speaker 2: Jen is up in the air. Who would you pick
24:39
Speaker 2: for Jen?
24:40
Speaker 1: For Jen?
24:41
Speaker 2: So a lot of people use Sabine gave us her votes.
24:45
Speaker 2: Who did she want for Jen? Jen? And Gape gabriel
24:49
Speaker 2: I think that they seem like a good vibe. She
24:52
Speaker 2: wants to move to Miami. He lives in Miami. He's
24:54
Speaker 2: already said he likes blondes. I do think that's going
24:57
Speaker 2: to be really bad news for Baoutries because she has
24:59
Speaker 2: not even made a play or a move for anybody else,
25:04
Speaker 2: like the cop. That's the only other guy that she liked.
25:08
Speaker 2: She liked Sean and Sean's gone, and so truly, if
25:13
Speaker 2: Gabrielle and Jen get together, which I think is highly likely, Batrice,
25:18
Speaker 2: maybe yeah, she really does go.
25:21
Speaker 1: Then go to Caleb. Who's Caleb pick? What do you
25:25
Speaker 1: want him to pick?
25:26
Speaker 2: Look? On one hand, yes, everyone says Kenzie and Caleb.
25:30
Speaker 2: There's a lot of flirting, a lot of kissing, a
25:31
Speaker 2: lot of natural sparks. They're both from the South, he
25:34
Speaker 2: feels like home. Obviously that's going to be an interesting choice.
25:38
Speaker 2: But I do like Kenzie and Corbyn because here's the deal.
25:41
Speaker 2: Corbyn comes in as the bombshell, and I thought this
25:45
Speaker 2: was a shocking move for him. I'm surprised. He said, Nah,
25:50
Speaker 2: he really wasn't interested in any of the other bombshells
25:52
Speaker 2: and not really interested in any of the girls. And
25:54
Speaker 2: he made it very clear. I appreciated this to Kenzie,
25:58
Speaker 2: You're you're the one. I'm not saying so one else
26:00
Speaker 2: couldn't come in, but right now you're the only one
26:02
Speaker 2: that I want. Umm.
26:05
Speaker 1: I could also argue that he pretty quickly realized that
26:09
Speaker 1: those bomb shows were not interested in him.
26:10
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
26:13
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same thing. Baby. You gotta let
26:15
Speaker 1: me make sure I make the first move and not
26:17
Speaker 1: get rejected. So I gotta he knows Kinsey is his
26:20
Speaker 1: only shot a stand on this show, and Kinsey went
26:24
Speaker 1: got got goo goo over the guy that she says
26:27
Speaker 1: is exactly her type on paper.
26:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that leaves Corbin and Beatrice potentially oh sorry,
26:36
Speaker 2: and Mel completely single. So what happens with them? Because
26:41
Speaker 2: someone's gonna have to couple up with someone else? I mean,
26:44
Speaker 2: you know what Mel and Corbyn. Mel was going after Corbyn.
26:47
Speaker 2: That was the whole reason why. Since youre was upset,
26:49
Speaker 2: She's going back and forth. There you go, there you go,
26:51
Speaker 2: get with you as mel and Corbyn. I bet you
26:54
Speaker 2: that maybe where we're headed.
26:56
Speaker 1: Next they deserve each other, you know what.
26:58
Speaker 2: I'm okay with them together now. I actually feel at
27:01
Speaker 2: peace with that.
27:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I just yeah, I'm trying. I'll give Melanie
27:07
Speaker 1: a because my heart goes. I'veset some things like what
27:11
Speaker 1: has happened in this I feel for her, there is
27:14
Speaker 1: some She's not a bad person, she's not, but it's
27:17
Speaker 1: coming out in the worst of ways. She is. All
27:20
Speaker 1: these things have given her the exact ingredients to be
27:26
Speaker 1: the worst version of her.
27:28
Speaker 2: It's the perfect storm in all the wrong ways for her.
27:31
Speaker 2: But I'm back, I'm you all right and okay, So
27:35
Speaker 2: we have a hiatus today. There is no episode, but
27:38
Speaker 2: that's fine because we're gonna be watching the next play anyway.
27:41
Speaker 2: So we'll be back, I guess with our Thursday round
27:46
Speaker 2: up on Friday. Very exciting. We're gonna vote. We're gonna vote.
27:49
Speaker 2: Hope you did too. And with that everyone, thank you
27:51
Speaker 2: as always for listening to us. I may be ROBOC
27:54
Speaker 2: alongside DJ Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
28:00
Speaker 1: Then A
