• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. Can somebody please tell me what happened
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to Soul? Welcome to this Love Island Season 8 Reunion Recap.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We've had such high hopes for Soul. When she was
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: on Love Island, our hearts broke for her. We thought
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: she didn't get a fair shake, Robes.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she seemed sincere, to use a bad word. But,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: my goodness, usually... when you've had some time to reflect,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and maybe even have time to watch back, what was good,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: what was bad, what didn't come off the way you
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: thought it would, you do some soul searching, and you
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: come to the reunion with better perspective, maybe you have
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: some apologies ready to go, and you make amends, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you move forward with a clean slate.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: This is how these things are supposed to go.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: She didn't read the memo.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Roves, she, from the moment she left the villa, she
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: turned into something else. I don't know what happened, but folks,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of you have seen it by now, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the season eight reunion was, is it fair? It's about
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: two people for the most part, Melanie and Saul. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: guess most of the headlines, most of the moments, is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that fair to say, were between them? that Melanie had
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: them and Soul had them?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, I think they stole the show. There were plenty
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of moments.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: My favorite part, though, before we sat down to set
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the scene, we had one, two, three, four girls and TJ, right?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: A smaller crowd.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It was a smaller crowd, but we were invested. We
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: all watched every single episode. And so you actually leaned
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: over to me before it started and said, I'm so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: afraid this is going.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: To be boring.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you know why? Because they only put out
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that one little clip to tease this reunion, and that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was that one little clip of Soul going off. It
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was seven seconds or something. And I leaned, I said,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know what, maybe they only released that because maybe
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that's all they got. Robes, to a certain extent, I mean,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a few moments here and there, but it was, eh.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I liked it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I learned a lot. I laughed a lot. I was like, no,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: she did not just say that a lot. I thought
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: it was entertaining. There was never a moment where I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was looking at the clock or thinking how much longer
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: has this got. I enjoyed every second of it for
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: varying reasons.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And we missed Corbin. It was good to see Corbin. Corbin. Oh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it was good. He made some faces last night. They
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: had some cutaways to him. He always delivers. But Robes,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: help me still, because we had some disagreement. How many
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of these couples are still together? Like, legit together still.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So we've got.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Kata and Zach are together, but they're not boyfriend and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: girlfriend yet.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So it's the exact same thing as when they left
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the villa.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: They're exclusive. We've got, obviously.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Didn't somebody say that we're living together? Yes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So your daughter, your 13-year-old said, because this was shot
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, and so the update is now
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: he's back in the country and they're all living together.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: She's living with him and his brother, Charlie, I think.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So yes, they have apparently moved in together, but.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Still not boyfriend and girlfriend.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That's fine. Some people don't need labels, Rose.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: We don't need labels.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We don't need them either.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: No. Fiance.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: She totally wants one. These labels are silly.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: She wants a label so bad.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Wife.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Who needs that?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: All right, so together still, obviously we have Trinity and Bryce.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And they were adorable. They said they haven't.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Spent one night apart since the villa. I loved hearing
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that confirmation. It is real. Some people, for whatever reason,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: thought it was a fake romance. I never thought that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: They always seemed like, yes, it started out as a friendship.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I think people don't believe that can actually happen. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: can actually just like each other, not immediately think, wow,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I've got the hots for her. But you actually like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I like this person. This person's interesting. And then feelings develop.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It's real.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not gonna convince us of the other side
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of that. It happens. It happened to us much slower, actually.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, so they're together.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Then Carl and Anaya still seem to have zero chemistry.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, let's just call it what it is. I've
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: never seen a spark between them. I've seen consideration. I've
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: seen shared interest. She got in his lap that time. Remember?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It seemed really forced.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: She straddled him, literally.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It seemed performative.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Hey!
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You know genuine chemistry when you see it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: They have respect for each other.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So they're what right now? Cordial.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: No, but they say they're together. They say they're in
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a long-distance relationship. They say they talk every day. But
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they said that their moms talk even more than they did.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And I was like, ding, ding, ding, red flag.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That was a concerning line.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: If your moms talk more than you do, maybe you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: should examine just what your relationship is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So they tell us They're together. They do. Zach and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Kate are doing their thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: What else you got? Bryce and Trinity are together. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: this is where we differed. And I just think it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a matter of semantics. I would say that Melanie and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Sincere are together, but they're not boyfriend and girlfriend. They're
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: not exclusive. She's kind of in that prove it to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: me that you're actually into me and you are here
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: for me stage. And so she's allowing him to develop trust.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But they were holding hands. She was looking at him lovingly.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: She wants to be with him. And despite what everyone
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: says to her, she was definitely loving the jet blue.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll give you a free trip anywhere if
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you leave that man. Her sister coming at her saying,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: please don't be with him. She wants to be with him.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And she wants him to prove that he wants to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: be with her.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It's just that's not going to happen. It's just not
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: too bad to see it. It's just that stuff kind
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of never works if you just tell somebody you need
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to prove something to me and you never give them
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: an actual measuring stick. Like, what is that line? It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just vague. At what point do I prove? You just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: want me to keep going and going and going and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going until you decide? If that feels like, and that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: might feel like to some, Robes, this person is not
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: willing to do this as long as they have to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and as much as they have to until I say, Okay.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Actually extend that ultimatum to plenty of partners.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Do therapists say that's a good way to go? Probably not.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't imagine that would be a healthy
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: way to begin a relationship. Um, and yes, uh, but okay.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: If he wants to prove it to her, if he
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: wants to say, I am a changed man and I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: not going to do, I'm not going to move how
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I was moving in the villa. Okay, if he's ready, willing,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and game to prove it to her, I say I'm
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: here for it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And they did seem happy. A little guarded, but happy.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And then the big breakup was Parmita and Corbin. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they weren't even, like, they had them separated. And as
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: much as they want to say that they're all friends
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and it was mutual, she looked angry.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I miss the old Parmita. Right? Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: She wasn't feisty. She wasn't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: She looked like she was taking every moment and ounce
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of discretion she could muster to just keep a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Neutral face.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And I think this might have been the first time
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you've said those words, media training, to me while we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: were watching. If it wasn't this, it was the KC
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: thing for sure. But it did. And I don't mind
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it necessarily, Robes, but they seemed so careful about it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That they weren't themselves. Parmita, everybody knows what Parmita is about.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: None of her personality, even the little sparks, she didn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have to be taking on anybody. None of that thing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: came through. And who knows, this had to be edited
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in a certain way. Maybe some stuff got left out.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But those two exchanged... Very muted pleasantries.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: It was bizarre.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Because how they left, they were all over each other,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: hot and heavy. She's like, yes, got sparks flying. He's cute.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But then in that conversation in the car from the villa,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: we were like, uh-oh.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: What's happening?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: She was bragging about all the dudes she's been with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and something crazy was happening.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It was a bizarre way for her to express to him,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I've done that. I've tasted this. I've tasted that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was crazy. I'm good.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I played around.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I like you and you can trust me because I've
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: already played around and I'm ready to settle down.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Just a word of advice, ladies. That's not what we
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: want to hear.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Don't remind the guy you want to be with about
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: how many other men you've been with. But that's exactly
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: what happened in the car.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Dudes can't do that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Don't know how that all unraveled, but I have a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: very difficult time believing that it was just cordial and pleasant.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And we're better off as friends. And it was mutual.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And we get it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: When they were hot and heavy, like to me, there
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: was passion between those two. Every single time they shut
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: off the lights, they were making out all night long.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think those two slept when they were in
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that communal sleeping.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: We would laugh. Remember, they were always the ones going
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: at it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like the problem became when the lights
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: came on when they left. Babe, you don't have that anymore.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We're not just now. Oh, you got to go to work. Oh,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I have this responsibility. Oh, this ex of mine text me. Oh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: now we're dealing with stuff.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: All the girls coming to Corbin, all the girls, the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: girls on the couch were like, woohoo, Corbin.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And, you know, that's tough for how old is he?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: early 20s.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So yes they walk out and all of a sudden
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: in fact how it opened up i did think it
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: was cute it was a lot the red carpet and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they're in la but their awe of being like mega
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: stars at least for this moment in time it was
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: kind of cute they were like what is this bryce
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and zach were like laughing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: That was a nice touch we're doing that next year
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: what next season we're gonna go i'm gonna be in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that front row with all those yelling for whoever's up
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: next but.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I did think that was cute and then them finding
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: out like they went from having 4,000 followers on Instagram
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to 2 million followers on Instagram all of that was
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: kind of cute because it made it seem like they
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: weren't there for the fame but when they realized they
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: had it just that cute moment of oh my god
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: because truly these people went from being you know just
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: everyday folks to being mega stars and they had no
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: concept of the progression as it was happening they didn't
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: have access to phones they didn't have access to friends
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and family so they really didn't know just the level
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: at which their fame had skyrocketed.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad they threw those clips in there. We've
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: seen everybody else get a chance to do that, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: not the last four couples. What did you, we need to,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I guess, you just talked about how it looked outside.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: This was the first time, right? They've had a reunion
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: show where they have a whole live audience and they
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: have people outside and it was cool. It made it
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: feel really, really big. But the setup inside, let's just
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: talk about, I guess, the show itself before and the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: producing of the show versus we get into some of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the editorial, I guess, probes. The set, how it looked,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: how it was hosted, how it was chopped up and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: had to be edited was strange at times, but what
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: did you make of just the overall production?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I liked the energy of the crowd. I liked that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: they had a live studio audience. I thought that was fun.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I thought the editing, look, and it's so funny because
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like Love Island, if I think about one
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of the brilliant, parts of it is the phenomenal editing
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that takes place every 24 hours. They're churning this stuff
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: out almost in real time and it's impressive. However, for
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the live show, too much editing. Like it was, it
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: was herky jerky and it was totally way off in moments.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They would cut to some, from some poignant moment or
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: some like really deep or sometimes even dark comments and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: then cut to hosts completely seemingly ignoring some pretty heavy
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: moment that needed a button and would just go into
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the next.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Like happy thing.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And it just felt, it made the hosts look like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: they were, weren't listening and weren't sympathetic and weren't empathetic.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It made them, it made them look dismissive.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Those were all edits, right?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I hope.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I hope it was all, Sometimes the awkward moments were
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: there and look, we know this is live to tape,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: so to speak. Yes, they made edits, but the idea
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: is to do this as if it were live and
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: we all see it. It's hard to manage and maneuver
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and to shift from something that got really heavy to
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: something that's fun and exciting. And that takes a lot
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of years of experience of live programming to know how
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to do that well and, And so I don't fault
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: them because that is a difficult, difficult skill to acquire,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and it only happens through a lot of experience.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that part's too bad.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: But also the editing, I think, added to it to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: make it worse, or it felt worse.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: There were so many people up there. And I was
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: going to say this to the end, but your boys,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the Jackson 4, you said....
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: People might have missed it. Explain what you're referencing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: It was the, it might be the highlight of the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: night for me. They're introducing all of, right, they introduced
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the main cast and the main people that we all know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: but they also introduced some bombshells who might have had
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a moment or two but weren't big players in the show.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Some of them were sitting still on the main stage level,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: but off to, we can only just call it a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: kiddie area, right? So that was an extra section where
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: They were in the wings.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good way. Good way to put it. But then
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: there was another group of guys that they put in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the audience at the front where there was a fake bush.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Like a hedge.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: A hedge. And all you see is these four little
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: black faces. Up over this hedge. Rose, it looked like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they were playing at Sanford Stadium in Georgia. Right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: They're between the hedges.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Just smiling. And they just look it over, and you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: started calling them the Jackson 4.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Because I was like, who are they?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: We can't name any of them. It's like the Jackson 4.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: We have no idea who they are. We know Michael.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: What they did. Who are they?
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: But they look like a boy band.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It looked crazy. Randy, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon up there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what it looked like.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, we got a laugh.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was funny.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: If you have a chance, just if you haven't seen it,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: go back and look for the Jackson 4.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: They're hilarious.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, so anyway, so sidetracked. But point being, it was
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of folks. And, Rose, we have done live
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: events or panel discussions. You might have three, four, five,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: six people. to keep all their names straight, to keep
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: their situation, when to switch to this person or that person.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It's hard. Bro, they had 20 folks, whatever, up there
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: last night. They had tons. It's a hard job. But yes,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they can work on that flow and that energy a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: little bit. Bro, some of the... I don't know. It's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: just an editing.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, and look, they want to get it right.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: This is a big deal. They knew they were going
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to have a huge audience, and you could feel the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: nerves there. And Ariana Maddox knows the group. She knows
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the folks. She was there in Fiji.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: With them in and out.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Andy Cohen comes in at the end, but they were
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: definitely looking at their cards a lot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Why? What's his connection to them?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Bravo. He's just kind of the face of Bravo, the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: face of reality TV in a lot of ways.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And so Peacock and Bravo have, I don't know, the relationship, right?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But does he do stuff with... The show, usually? He
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't do it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: No, he does.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But he is like the real housewives guy. I feel
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: like if you think about reality show stars being interviewed
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: or going on some sort of live format, it's on
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Andy Cohen's show.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: This felt foreign because I'm a big fan of that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: show and of everybody in there. Let them do their thing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Let her have her. They should have put a fire
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: pit there in the middle and let's do this. That
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: would have been funny. Let her be the one. But yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: maybe they think she needs a little help in doing it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's fine. But it was a little jarring. Like, let's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: get out of the way and let me see the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: family here talk. No, knock against him and what he does.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: No, he felt like a fish out of water because
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: we're not used to seeing him with the group. And also,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know how.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Comfortable they are with him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, or how Ariana and.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Like, chemistry is everything. And Ariana.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And Andy didn't seem like they had bad chemistry, but
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: they didn't seem like they had good chemistry either. It
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: felt a little awkward. And I think they were just
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: trying to have, here's a guy who knows how to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: manage a group. He knows how to keep a live
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: show moving. And so they probably wanted him there because
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Ariana hasn't had that much experience in that kind of a,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: that was a huge undertaking. That was a juggernaut of
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a live to tape show. It is.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: And who knows how many hours they have That they
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: actually shot to get it down to two hours. Right, right. Okay,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: so once we got going, I think everybody was waiting
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to hear from Melanie. It became pretty, I don't know
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: how soon, but it felt clear to me that she
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: knows the public's on her side.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And you know what?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: That is such a good way to put it. She,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I think you said she's feeling herself. Look, she had
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of the drama, obviously probably the most drama
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: in the show.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: And so, yes, people felt for her.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: They put themselves in her position and people were rooting
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: for her. And yes, she definitely felt that. But yeah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: there was, she had a lot of beef. Yeah. With
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of women. She had beef with Kenzie. She
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: had beef with Soul. She had beef with Amora. She
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: had beef with... I feel like there were more. I
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: felt like there was a point where the veins in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: her neck were sticking out because she was so upset.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I was surprised by that. She was going... And you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: know what? All of the beef and the back and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: forth had nothing to do with something that happened on
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the actual show. Robes How many times did we hear, well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: why'd you go on your lives? Well, why'd you go
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: on podcasts? Well, then you come after me.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And you commented this, and you liked that post.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Liked ropes. They are so in tune with what every
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: single person up there has said everywhere. I don't know
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: how they kept up with all that stuff, but they
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: came ready with all kinds of stuff last night. Melanie,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I was surprised. She went after everybody.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: She really did.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And then I'm curious because Kenzie did start to get
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: emotional and was trying to explain the big beef with
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: her was that she apparently complained or just made a
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: comment that Melanie got more airtime than anyone else. And
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: that upset Melanie.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Then Kenzie had to say she was sorry.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, Kenzie started crying and Melanie came
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: over and hugged her.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Where did Kenzie say that?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know where she said it, but maybe it
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: was after sun. That was a whole other thing when
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Islanders were kicked off. You would then go to After Sun,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: do kind of a debrief with those two women on Saturday, right?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And then go and be on your merry way. Well,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: all of the Islanders, when they came out, would then
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: watch the After Suns.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: They watched every second of it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: They watched everything.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like they've watched every live, every Instagram post.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: They've looked at every comment. I mean, look, I understand
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: they probably have a lot of time on their hands now.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And so they want to know.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: They were deprived.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Of any reaction from anybody for two months. So now
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: they're catching up. And wow, they were throwing shade.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Well, they're calling everybody out for every little thing. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to be honest, most of it sounded pretty petty.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And not worth responding to. But they come out, Rope.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: We've seen this plenty of times with these reality shows.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: They come out and people have these new followings. And Rope,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's a nonstop battle. They're still responding to things like
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: they're not a big deal. Like they. You're Melanie now.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You're above every little... You know how many people you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: have to respond to? If you do this, no, you're
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: above all of it. And they still have the smaller mindset.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: It's so true because I would have thought, and I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: do think those who we saw were media trained, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: there were clearly four people who were absolutely media trained.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And we'll say who they are. But everyone else, it
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: wasn't that they were protecting their ability to make money
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: or to secure.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: sponsors, they were personally wounded.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Like I could tell when Melanie was speaking, she wasn't
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: thinking about keeping her image a certain way.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: She was personally wounded.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Like I could see that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It just, all of it was small. I just still
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: don't fully understand what Kinsey said that pissed her off
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: so much. I, she got more airtime. Yeah, she did.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Are you jealous? Yeah, you probably are. And you probably
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: should be, but we saw you a lot, Kinsey.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And if, and if Melanie had said that and laughed
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and said, and made it kind of silly in a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: joke and Kenzie would have stayed in that same lane. Yeah, it's...
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: She could have made it light and funny and not
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: taken it so personally.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got so much air time because this idiot
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: sitting next to me always had me in the middle
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of some drama. Like, you could have just done... Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But still, it's... And again, Kenzie... Melanie didn't edit the show.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly, and I think that was said. But then the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: worst part about that exchange was Dylan, your favorite guy. Yeah.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Because he, look, on one hand, you could say Kenzie
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: was loving it because she had her man come into
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: her defense. And I think secretly a lot of women
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: do like that idea. But it was obnoxious. Because on
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: one hand, I was like, okay, it's cute. You could
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: tell he really was defending her. But on the other hand, shh, Dylan, shh.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: And I know how you feel.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Okay. We haven't discussed this yet.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're going to say, but I
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: know how you feel.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He was on brand last night.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Performative. Yeah. He wasn't taking a... He was trying to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: get credit for something. He was once again, Mr. I'm
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: so upset. Trying to make himself cry.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I still think he was crying.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Go back. We are going to do this. We need
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to follow up. Robes, you are going to come around
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and go, wow, that is not how you wipe your
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: tears when you're crying. You don't do it by sticking
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: your finger into your eyeball.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Some girls do because they don't want to mess up
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: their mascara.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But he didn't have mascara.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Girls do this thing.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I know that because I watch reality TV. Robes, same thing.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It felt to me, again, don't know. We have a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: little fun in talking about him. Don't know him from
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: A Man on the Moon. Sure, he's a decent dude.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: But it came off to me like look at me
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: as hero versus being concerned about her well-being.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: It feels different, right? And to cut her off so
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: rudely repeatedly... while she's having a grown folk conversation, that's
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: not a good look. He was dying to get in there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: She didn't seem to mind, though. Kenzie didn't.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: She looked like she wanted a break from the assault.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, but Melanie minded.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she should have. This is rare that I'm 100%
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: in Melanie's corner, but Dylan has brought us together, Melanie.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: All right, when are we talking about soul?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Right now. Let's do it. Let's get past it quickly
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: because we're done.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That poor girl.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, man.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Does she even know what a disservice she did to herself?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Babe, she, oh, man. But she kind of,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: this was set up before even the reunion, right? Hasn't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: she been popping off and saying things that are not
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: quite favorable?
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: She has. Immediately.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Ever since she got out of there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: She was trying to play the victim.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: That never works.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: And she went on social media, poor me, poor me,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: poor me. Why'd I get so many pies in the face?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And then they had this big thing about whether it
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: was two or three and she got proven wrong. Embarrassed.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That was so embarrassing. You kept going, this is not
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: a good night for soul. Not a good night for soul.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: She just kind of got her ass handed to her
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: by everyone.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: She did, repeatedly.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody is the right way to put it. She, for
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, Robes, and when she came out, you said
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: play victim. She was one. We kind of embraced her
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: as didn't get a fair shake. She's a victim of sincere, right?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The girls had their own little click and where Jell
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: kind of kept her on the outs. Yep. Felt bad.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The pies actually looked like, she didn't deserve that. She's
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: actually in tears.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Robes. Yes.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: We all wanted to embrace this girl.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, until she started talking about how much you needed
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to embrace her and how awful everyone was to her.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: You can't be your own.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: It just comes off as petty, complaining, weak, like all
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of those things. But also, it wasn't just that she
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: was the victim. She wanted to actually create monsters, like
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: make Melanie look like a terrible person. And then when
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: they showed that clip of Melanie actually reaching out to her,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: being kind to her, showing her love and saying, I
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: will stand back and see if you and Sincere actually
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: have something. And that was never-before-seen footage, and it flew
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: in the face of what Soul was painting, the picture
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Soul was painting.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, the producers ended her with that clip.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Ended her.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: There's nothing else. She's not going to be a part
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: of the group, part of the family, part of any
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: other reunion. They ended it. So now we see something different.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: The young lady that we were rooting for there has
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: actually been manipulating us since she got out and actually
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is lying to us about what actually took place. And
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for her. I don't know who's giving
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: her advice. I don't know how she was feeling when
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: she got out. Because when she got out and turned
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that phone on, she got love. And I said when
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: she got out, man, she's going to be fine. Because
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: dudes are going to be throwing themselves at her. The
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: little cut... Cute.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Pixie cut.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, she had good energy. Oh, she's going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: be great.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: She got all glammed up with the hair and the dress.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: You know what it felt like? Inauthentic to her.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Because I love a good glam night, get yourself all
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: done up, look fantastic, especially if you've not had that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: much makeup and you've been in a bikini. Yeah.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Go get dressed up and enjoy your night. But it
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: didn't feel authentic to her. It felt like she was
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: putting on. And that was kind of the whole point
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of what was coming at her, that she had been
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: putting on and pulling the wool over our eyes this
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: entire time. And so just even how she dressed and
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: looked kind of played into that.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Man, she had a bad night. Oh, sure. Her stock
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: was so, so high when she left that villa. And
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I hate that for her. I don't know if she
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: knows that or if she cares.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: They're young.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: They don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Imagine if you and I were put in that position,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: if anyone who is here was in that position, in
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: that kind of a spotlight when you're 21 to 25.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: How do you handle it?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: That's not easy.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Kada seemed to be her kind self last night. Wow.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: What was that about?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I've always been on the fence with Kada. I initially
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: did not like her because I thought she was a
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: mean girl. And then last night, she really proved she is.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: She didn't need to say that stuff to Jaden if
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: y'all were watching. But Jaden genuinely seemed like she got
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: a little wounded. It's okay. But she slept with Caleb,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: which I don't know why we all needed to know.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: It was so... Honestly, when Andy Cohen announced, and then
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: you all had sex that night, it felt shockingly inappropriate.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Let them say that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe some folks had a bad moment, or maybe this
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: is an environment where something like this is supposed to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: be acceptable, but you're calling someone, you're putting somebody's business,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: that's a different, yeah, I wouldn't have done it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: You're almost kind of slut-shaming her in a way.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: It was weird, and I just felt like Andy Cohen,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of all people, should know Let them say it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Say, what happened? We heard something may have happened.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: What happened? And then let them decide if they want
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: to share it because none of us knew they had
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: sex that night after they got booted out of the villa.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that they had been together.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And if she wanted to tell the story.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's one thing.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Wait, how did she put it? She said when they
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: both said they aren't dating, he put it one way
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and then she said, yeah, if that's how he wants
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to say it. So you knew something had happened. But
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: neither one of them alluded to or made the announcement
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: about having sex, did they?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: No, not that I heard.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: So when Andy Cohen said it, you're like, whoa, was
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: that your information to share? It felt like it wasn't,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: but maybe they were okay with it and it had
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: been prearranged and preapproved and all of that. But then,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: so she then talks about how they meet up again,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: she has sex with him again, and he basically ghosts
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: her to an extent. And Kata, what was the exact
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: language she said? She said it in Why'd you F
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: him again? Like in front of a lot of people.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: audience in front of millions of viewers she just like
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: gave this girl who seemed like she was a little
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: emotionally hurt she wasn't overwhelmed she didn't she wasn't playing
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it up but you could tell she was wounded her
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: ego got hurt and for another woman to just Dig in.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Then why'd you F him again? You're not taking any responsibility.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And even to say it that way was... Man, that was...
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: And Kate had another moment with T.T. calling her out. Like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I can't even believe you would say anything like that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You have no right to say... And then she leaned
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: back and said something to Zach that was dismissive. It
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: did come off as.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: She was rolling her eyes most of the night.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. At least folks feel how they feel.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: She didn't do herself any favors.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: It didn't come off looking very well. Her guy, though,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I was... Robes, I was surprised at how defense... Zach? Yeah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I was surprised at how he was defending himself and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the thing he was upset about with all the conversation
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: about him and Bryce.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: He was upset that people online, and I don't know
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: if you saw, he was getting, I mean, throughout it all,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: he got a lot of shade. In fact, his brother
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: had to come to his defense. He's coming from a
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: place of feeling very much attacked, and he was attacked
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: online viciously.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: For what, though? Which thing?
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Just for how he moved.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: They didn't like just who he was, and certainly all
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: of the Bryce stuff was absolutely a part of it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: But he didn't like the fact that it was implied
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: that it was one-sided, that the affection and the attention
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: was coming from him to Bryce, and Bryce didn't want it,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: that he was pushing.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Affection onto him.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: What do you make of that? Why that thing?
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: He said it was mutual.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: It was mutual. Isn't that weird?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: The whole thing's weird. I don't understand.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Like, it's okay if you're bisexual. It's okay if you're not. But, like,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: he was just really defensive.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: He wanted everybody to know that the affection was... Mutual. Mutual.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Why was that the argument?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: He could have had some fun with it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: He should have.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: That would be the only way to go.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: That was the way to handle it. We both have
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: made an agreement that if we have not married our
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: women in 10 years, then we'll marry each other. Yes.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Ba-dum-bum.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Boom. All done. It's dropped.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Or he could say, well, somebody has to take the lead.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: He could have just enjoyed it, leaned into it, had
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: fun with it. Because they were having fun with it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: in front of the cameras, so why not continue the fun?
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: If that was the spirit in which it was all happening.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Then keep it going. I hope he didn't read all
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, he did. You know he did.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I hope he didn't read all that stuff.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: You know they read all of it. It's hard not to.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: And once you start, it's a death spiral.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Is what it is. But the thing he chose to
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: defend himself about was that it was mute. I'm upset
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: that you all think it was one-sided.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: We both had feelings for each other that were not inappropriate. Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Rose, they've already given the okay for season nine. Ariana
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Maddox is going to be back.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Duh.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to get this thing
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: much bigger, but it is huge. And you know what?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: After all of this, they knew I was going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: forget it eventually. Remember how turned off I was about
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: this show at the beginning?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: With all the kissing? Yes.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: That stuff was disgusting. It was disgusting. Here I am.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: season nine deal here.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: But you know what we should also say this for
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: anyone who like us loves the idea of love island
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and just the social experiment that it is and just
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: how you see people in new relationships with egos trying
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: to figure it out and and find compatibility love island
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: uk it has all the awesomeness of love island usa
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: with about i would say they have one-tenth Of the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: gross kissing stuff and games.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Their games are actually provocative.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: And yes, they're sexual in nature sometimes, but they're thought-provoking
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and they're drama-stirring, but not in an ew, gross, nasty way.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: They are so good.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: They had like one time where they got into sexy
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: outfits and did a little striptease, but even that was
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: mild compared to what we saw on Love Island.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: They build tension and drama with questions that they ask
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: of the islanders, asking a guy and a couple questions.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: who is the person you think you'd have the best
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: sexual chemistry with outside of the one you're in a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: couple with? And everybody's, oh boy. It's that kind of stuff.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: It's great, and great characters. You gotta watch it with
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the subtitles on. Lord have mercy.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: The accents, I'm like, is that English to the point
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: where we didn't have subtitles on? There's a young woman
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: from Scotland, and then if you get really thick British accents,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Irish accents probably are the easier ones.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: They're talking so fast.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And then they use slang that we don't know what
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: it means.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: It's hilarious.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: So it is a fun one to watch.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Major recommendation.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: If you liked Love Island USA, you will love Love
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Island UK.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm thinking, and this is what
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: we'll close on. The cop.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Officer Sexy Pants?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yes. Can't remember his real name right now.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: But he's Officer Sexy Pants.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. That update didn't feel good.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I know. Because with a smile, he said, yeah, they
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: kicked me off the force and they won't bring me back.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: No, he quit.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Well, he quit. They won't bring him back. He doesn't
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: have a job.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He doesn't. They wouldn't take. And then he said something. Well,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if something works out now to.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: But it sounded really discouraging in his response.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: He paid the ultimate price and was the first one
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: kicked off.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Was it days? It wasn't a week, was it?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was like the first day or the second day.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: It was bad.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He was gone. He's the guy who has a young son.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: He'd been on the way. He just got trained. They
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: had just trained him for all those months. He just
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: started within a month or so at this thing and quit.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: So he could go pursue Love Island and he's the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: first one to get kicked out. And now he's without
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a job.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Well, his police chief, remember, like spoke out. They were angry.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: They're like, this is a small town. We take this seriously.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I guess the way things work, they had trained him
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and they get like a quota about how many new
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: officers or if they could have one new officer.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: He was the guy for the year.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: So they're like down basically in their police force because
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he chose to quit to be on Love Island.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, they were not going to take him back.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: They made that pretty damn clear by making a public
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: statement early on.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And not that they would ever have publicly said something,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: but how good did it feel to them that he
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: was the first to go?
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: They probably loved it. That was like one of those
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: karma moments for them.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: How did that feel to them?
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: They were enjoying it, let's be honest.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: We enjoyed it. Is this done? No more reunion with
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: this group. We're done with this group, right?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: We're done with the official reunions, but you know everyone,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: their social media probably got even bigger. And yes, because
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I still want updates. Who do you think a year
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: from now will still be together?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Uh-uh. I think Trinity and Bryce.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're the only shot.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: That's the only ones.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Only shot in hell. You know, we didn't get at
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: TT and KC much from last night.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, we didn't.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: What about those two?
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: They actually could stick together.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Could they stick together for a while? Yeah, I do.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I actually think they have a trauma bond.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: And it's pretty strong.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: When you go through hell together, turns out you can
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: go through just about anything together.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I thought they looked good together last night.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I thought they looked great last night.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: She was, what was her?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, media trained. Before we, media trained massively. Casey and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: TT and Parmita and Corbin. They all, maybe they had
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: the same. They might've gone in for a group discount
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: because they all said exactly the perfect things that you
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: would want your client to say.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: We were like, that's not who we watch.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Who are these people talking in this perfect cadence with
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: the perfect way to say it?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I thought she had a moment or two where you
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: see a little of the TT, but she was.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Restrained.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I liked her.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I've always.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Well, the first day I didn't like her, but then
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I fell in love with her.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: And what was the look she went for? She said
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: what it was.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, Rebecca Rabbit. Rebecca Rabbit? No, what's the name of.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to help here.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: It's Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: The movie.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey in a movie together? Jim Carrey, comedian?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Hold on. I'm going to look it up.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Jim.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: And who? Cameron Diaz. It's Rebecca Rabbit, I.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Think, and Cameron Diaz.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Like Roger Rabbit?
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Hold on. Oh, no, I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: have no idea. She's trying to look it up, and
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I think you might have just made it up. Jim
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Carrey and Cameron Diaz in a movie together, and I
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: didn't see it. Hold on. It was not the mask
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, is it? Yes, it's the mask.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: And she was what?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: And she is a glamorous nightclub singer.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You have the picture?
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm getting it confused with Rebecca. What's Rebecca Rabbit?
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Folks, so we always appreciate you spending a little time
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: with us. I'm TJ. That's Robes. We'll see y'all soon.
