Love Island (EP 13): Another Shocking Recoupling That Ended In Love · I Do, Part 2

0:02
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, did is Wednesday, June seventeenth, and Love Island
0:06
Speaker 1: Season eight, episode thirteen is in the books. And didn't
0:10
Speaker 1: we see this week coupling coming? And with that, welcome
0:14
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ Rope. We were
0:17
Speaker 1: just going back and forth. Some saw it coming, or
0:20
Speaker 1: to some it could be a shocking recoupling. But since
0:23
Speaker 1: here and Melanie have found their way back to each.
0:26
Speaker 2: Other, and so have Kenzie and Corbin.
0:30
Speaker 1: Found their way back. They never left each other.
0:33
Speaker 2: They technically left each other, but they never stopped. I
0:37
Speaker 2: got it. It's so funny. I was so there for it.
0:40
Speaker 2: I wanted them to be back together, Kenzie and Corbin
0:44
Speaker 2: back together.
0:45
Speaker 1: They were always together.
0:47
Speaker 2: But she got and look, she didn't choose it. She
0:50
Speaker 2: was told by America to recouple with Caleb. And it's
0:55
Speaker 2: funny as sweet as he is, sweet home southern charm,
0:59
Speaker 2: sweet home alibam, like he's that guy. Yes, but they
1:03
Speaker 2: never clicked. So I was never kind of into them,
1:06
Speaker 2: like I just wasn't.
1:07
Speaker 1: Caleb hasn't clicked with anybody. Let's just say that Caleb
1:10
Speaker 1: is the nice guy. He needs to get out of
1:11
Speaker 1: there and go find him a good girl in Carolina.
1:14
Speaker 2: He'll be able to find someone in South Carolina, no problem.
1:17
Speaker 1: The island's not the place, man. We said that from
1:18
Speaker 1: the moment. He's a nice guy, sweet guy. He doesn't
1:22
Speaker 1: belong there.
1:23
Speaker 2: He's not you know what, He's not like the others.
1:27
Speaker 2: And look, this is no knock against anyone. It's just
1:30
Speaker 2: he's that that guy that that you grew up with,
1:35
Speaker 2: that I grew up with, that hometown country boy who
1:38
Speaker 2: is just this sweet, wants a white picket fence, wants
1:42
Speaker 2: that girl who's going to be loyal to him and
1:44
Speaker 2: raise some kids and live in this sweet, safe, southern place.
1:50
Speaker 2: That's him.
1:52
Speaker 1: Okay, my statement stands he should get off the island.
1:56
Speaker 1: He should love the guy from the moment he stepped in.
1:58
Speaker 1: He is too nice of a guy to be there
2:00
Speaker 1: knock against everybody else, but he's not there to play
2:02
Speaker 1: the same type of games. Okay, let's go with Kinsey.
2:05
Speaker 1: Is she okay? So the takeaway either has to be
2:08
Speaker 1: or the biggest headline has to be the Kinsey situation
2:12
Speaker 1: or the sincere and Melanie situation. Which one was bigger
2:16
Speaker 1: for you? We know which one was bigger for Sabine,
2:18
Speaker 1: who I've been we're traveling. It's been difficult to talk
2:21
Speaker 1: to my thirteen year old because she's just so wound
2:25
Speaker 1: up about this first episode.
2:27
Speaker 2: Text you got from her today, I would like you
2:30
Speaker 2: to do a dramatic reading of because it was hilarious. Obviously,
2:34
Speaker 2: we're six hours ahead where we are here in Perry,
2:37
Speaker 2: and we had been up for quite some time. We
2:40
Speaker 2: wake up and we watched the Love Island episode. Just
2:43
Speaker 2: full disclosure, but it took us several hours for her
2:46
Speaker 2: to actually wake up and give her Well. She didn't
2:49
Speaker 2: even ask you how you were doing it, you are
2:51
Speaker 2: or what was going on?
2:53
Speaker 1: And she wakes up usually closer to seven. This morning
2:56
Speaker 1: at six seventeen a m. Eastern time. Text, the first
3:00
Speaker 1: thing I interacted with my child this morning was this,
3:04
Speaker 1: did you watch Love Island? My response, We watched this morning.
3:09
Speaker 1: She responds, I hate Kenzie so much.
3:12
Speaker 2: And I was shocked.
3:13
Speaker 1: She follows, Caleb is so sweet? Why the Kinzie hate? Oh?
3:21
Speaker 1: She was wondering if we were up to date, She said,
3:23
Speaker 1: I'll be quiet, okay. She continued to say, Hey, we're
3:26
Speaker 1: all up to date. Okay. This is hard and I
3:28
Speaker 1: don't want to put this on her because this is
3:30
Speaker 1: this is this is I think this is too strong.
3:32
Speaker 2: Right, but this is what this show evokes from folks
3:37
Speaker 2: as young as thirteen.
3:38
Speaker 1: In all caps. I hate her next text, she is
3:42
Speaker 1: the definition of that's the one deck, then the next
3:46
Speaker 1: deck says quote, it's only okay if I do it.
3:49
Speaker 1: She goes to the next thing, and she did Caleb
3:52
Speaker 1: so dirty and lied to his face. Babe is a
3:54
Speaker 1: thirteen year old.
3:55
Speaker 2: It's so funny. This is people getting so invested. You
3:59
Speaker 2: find the people who you connect with. That's it who
4:01
Speaker 2: you think, that's like me? And you know what, Sabine
4:04
Speaker 2: is a little bit like Caleb. He was quiet, He
4:06
Speaker 2: stayed in the background. He watched, he waited, he took inventory,
4:13
Speaker 2: but he didn't play the game, and he was considerate
4:17
Speaker 2: and he watched and he waited and he said, you
4:19
Speaker 2: know what, I like her. And look, Kenzie was playing
4:22
Speaker 2: the game. So I actually funny enough, like I get
4:25
Speaker 2: what she's saying. Because Kenzi absolutely led Caleb on because
4:29
Speaker 2: she wasn't sure maybe how she felt, but I think
4:32
Speaker 2: we all knew and I wasn't shocked by her decision
4:36
Speaker 2: to go with Corbyn, which is obviously who she had
4:42
Speaker 2: the sexual physical connection with I think maybe she wanted
4:46
Speaker 2: to like Caleb. He was the guy who she knew
4:48
Speaker 2: she was supposed to be with. But her, her heart,
4:52
Speaker 2: her gut, whatever was telling her it was Corbyn.
4:55
Speaker 1: So her heart and her gut you want to go
4:57
Speaker 1: with some other parts of her.
4:58
Speaker 2: That were picking on corb Yes, the fact that she
5:00
Speaker 2: hasn't had sex in a year and a half and
5:02
Speaker 2: she said she was horny. That all drove her and
5:05
Speaker 2: that's fair, and she's a grown ass woman and I
5:07
Speaker 2: get it, but I understand from Sabine's point of view
5:10
Speaker 2: where she is. I think she identified with Caleb and
5:13
Speaker 2: was like he really was sincere.
5:15
Speaker 1: That was the first thing you said. When I told
5:17
Speaker 1: her what Sabine was saying, you said, Oh, she likes Caleb.
5:20
Speaker 1: That's the first thing you said.
5:21
Speaker 2: I knew that the only reason why you would be
5:24
Speaker 2: upset with Kenzie is if you liked Caleb. And then
5:27
Speaker 2: I started thinking about who Sabine is, and I was like,
5:29
Speaker 2: obviously she liked Caleb, because that's very like she's obviously
5:33
Speaker 2: not a Southern girl, but she has some of the
5:36
Speaker 2: same qualities that Caleb has.
5:37
Speaker 1: But she's a Southern. She doesn't have the same qualities
5:39
Speaker 1: as a Southern girl like Kinsey has right, she didn't
5:42
Speaker 1: identify that, and again she's please, don't hold this against
5:45
Speaker 1: my daughter. She's just talking to her dad and oh.
5:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I was actually shocked, but then it made sense.
5:51
Speaker 2: But that's why. Look, we keep talking about why we
5:53
Speaker 2: love this show because there are a lot of If
5:57
Speaker 2: you actually take a step back, look beyond the entertainment,
6:00
Speaker 2: you can actually see human sociological development taking place where
6:06
Speaker 2: you're you can actually learn and be fascinated by how
6:09
Speaker 2: humans react, interact and why we feel so strongly, whether
6:16
Speaker 2: it's you know, what was it with the whole the summer?
6:19
Speaker 2: I turned pretty You're either team what were those names?
6:24
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Conrad?
6:26
Speaker 2: Thank you you're either. I love that you knew that.
6:30
Speaker 2: That's amazing. So yes, people love to pick teams from
6:34
Speaker 2: from what was the whole. I'm not going to get
6:37
Speaker 2: into this other the vampire thing where you're like team
6:40
Speaker 2: this or team that. Everybody always picks aside who they want,
6:45
Speaker 2: who they're on, the who they're rooting for. I actually
6:51
Speaker 2: think everything that needed to happen happen, So I'm actually
6:53
Speaker 2: team for whoever everybody chose, because I actually think it
6:56
Speaker 2: worked out exactly the way it should happen.
6:59
Speaker 1: Okay, so as we say, all right, episode was say thirteen?
7:02
Speaker 1: Is that one thirteen?
7:03
Speaker 2: Yeah?
7:03
Speaker 1: Wrote there was not. I know it was a build up,
7:06
Speaker 1: but frankly, things are playing out exactly how we thought
7:10
Speaker 1: that they would, Are they not?
7:12
Speaker 2: Yes? And I have to laugh because I did want
7:14
Speaker 2: to talk about this with you because the last episode
7:16
Speaker 2: we talked about Anaya and Case. So funny. This episode
7:21
Speaker 2: starts with them both confused. It's as if he's from
7:26
Speaker 2: Mars and she's from Venus or whatever it is. But literally,
7:29
Speaker 2: you and I identify with part of their communication dilemma.
7:36
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that they both truly like
7:40
Speaker 2: each other, but they couldn't find a way to connect
7:44
Speaker 2: or click or to come back to each other. He
7:46
Speaker 2: was saying, it feels like an effing job. I can't
7:49
Speaker 2: fake who I am just to make you feel more comfortable.
7:52
Speaker 2: She's saying she doesn't believe that he is who he's
7:55
Speaker 2: claiming to be. They're both completely distrustful of one another.
7:59
Speaker 2: And then Love Island asks them to write a love
8:02
Speaker 2: letter to one another or to the person that they
8:04
Speaker 2: want to couple up with, and suddenly when each person
8:08
Speaker 2: reads their love letter to the other, all is forgotten.
8:12
Speaker 2: They were happy as clams, and I just found that
8:16
Speaker 2: to be so fascinating. They were on the brink of disaster.
8:20
Speaker 2: They were on the brink of breaking up and actually
8:23
Speaker 2: throwing away something that I actually think could have been
8:25
Speaker 2: really or will be potentially really, really beautiful. But they
8:29
Speaker 2: were willing to walk away because they were both frustrated
8:32
Speaker 2: by their inability to understand one another. And yet when
8:35
Speaker 2: they took a beat, took a step back, and took
8:39
Speaker 2: the time, as was the assignment for Love Island, to
8:42
Speaker 2: write a letter to the person who you want to
8:44
Speaker 2: be with and why when the other person heard those
8:49
Speaker 2: words from this person that they were not trusting this person,
8:53
Speaker 2: that they were second guessing this person that they thought
8:55
Speaker 2: maybe wasn't who they said, they were all of a
8:58
Speaker 2: sudden love blossomed. I thought that was very telling. Okay,
9:05
Speaker 2: sometimes we just need to take a beat and explain
9:08
Speaker 2: or maybe even talk about or write down why it
9:12
Speaker 2: is we want to be with this person, and maybe
9:15
Speaker 2: some of the stuff we were fretting about and overthinking
9:19
Speaker 2: and maybe even unnecessarily second guessing, maybe it becomes clearer
9:27
Speaker 2: when we focus on what we like versus what we
9:30
Speaker 2: don't like.
9:31
Speaker 1: Can I offer another suggestion to that is that it Yes,
9:35
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with anything you said, but it also
9:39
Speaker 1: for me and Robes is a big deal of what
9:41
Speaker 1: happens when you get someone's undivided attention to where they
9:44
Speaker 1: can't interrupt you and they're require to just sit and listen.
9:48
Speaker 1: Just sit and listen and take in what I'm saying,
9:51
Speaker 1: versus trying to have a response, trying to one up me,
9:55
Speaker 1: trying to explain, just listen to me. And I think
9:58
Speaker 1: that is valuable that I just for the longest the
10:04
Speaker 1: back and forth with them was so frustrating because I
10:07
Speaker 1: think they're both solid people who I don't think they
10:11
Speaker 1: lacking and understanding for each other. They're lacking in respect
10:14
Speaker 1: right now for where the other person is, because the
10:18
Speaker 1: only thing that matters is where I am. You need
10:20
Speaker 1: to understand what I'm saying and what I'm going through,
10:23
Speaker 1: and I need you to validate it. That's not respecting
10:25
Speaker 1: where the other person is sitting. And I see them
10:27
Speaker 1: going back and forth constantly. Every time there is a
10:31
Speaker 1: well this is how I'm feeling you did this to me,
10:35
Speaker 1: The response is well, the reason I did that is
10:39
Speaker 1: because a blank and a blank and the blank and
10:40
Speaker 1: a blank and.
10:41
Speaker 2: Blank, like both people feel disrespected.
10:43
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's going back and forth. You can see it, Oh, Ropes,
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm seeing and sitting and going wow. We should study
10:50
Speaker 1: all of us should study this as couples, those two
10:53
Speaker 1: in particular, and in particular, when somebody opens their mouth,
10:56
Speaker 1: if the first thing in your response after they said
10:59
Speaker 1: they're hurt or they're bothered, or they're upsets, anything other
11:03
Speaker 1: than I'm sorry, tell me more, how can we fix this?
11:09
Speaker 1: How did we get if it's anything other than that?
11:12
Speaker 1: If your response is in any way in any way
11:15
Speaker 1: about you or lessening or explaining why they shouldn't feel
11:19
Speaker 1: that way, only if you understood where I was coming.
11:23
Speaker 1: If you do that, Robes, that is one oh one
11:26
Speaker 1: in relationship, Doeszater.
11:28
Speaker 2: The problem is when both people feel misunderstood, they're doing
11:32
Speaker 2: it back and forth. They're both feeling like they need
11:34
Speaker 2: to explain. Yes, and that is where and I believe
11:39
Speaker 2: Casey chose not to and Anaya chose too, and that
11:42
Speaker 2: is often the case between men and women. She wanted
11:45
Speaker 2: to explain why she felt disrespected. He just kind of
11:48
Speaker 2: was like, ugh, just get like I think a lot
11:51
Speaker 2: of men just don't even think it's worth it and
11:53
Speaker 2: don't even try. And he was kind of like themself. Yeah,
11:57
Speaker 2: why he felt disrespected. It's just kind of like, okay,
12:00
Speaker 2: I'll just say I'm sorry and just move on, Whereas
12:03
Speaker 2: she was trying to explain and he was not feeling it.
12:06
Speaker 2: But I feel like it was. It was one of
12:08
Speaker 2: those things where I did see so many couple's arguments
12:15
Speaker 2: literally based in exactly what this misunderstanding was between the
12:18
Speaker 2: two of them.
12:19
Speaker 1: He's frustrate. What would happen if every relationship and we
12:22
Speaker 1: both gave him credit. Uh two three four episodes ago
12:27
Speaker 1: when he was still nice, when he wasn't so frustrated.
12:30
Speaker 1: She had a problem with something we didn't agree with,
12:32
Speaker 1: whatever her grievance was, but he just listened. He said,
12:35
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I never want you to feel that way.
12:38
Speaker 1: What can we do? And we both gave him credit.
12:39
Speaker 1: He didn't explain or say this or that and whatever
12:42
Speaker 1: he did that, what if we all did that?
12:46
Speaker 2: That's hard, that's really because because you know in your
12:49
Speaker 2: heart that isn't I think the hard thing is when
12:51
Speaker 2: you know the way you're being characterized, isn't at all
12:56
Speaker 2: the way you're feeling. You want to explain like wait, no,
12:59
Speaker 2: I actually and I saw him doing this like I
13:02
Speaker 2: I want you, like I choose you. You're not my backup,
13:06
Speaker 2: you're my first choice. I saw him trying to explain
13:08
Speaker 2: to her what she was feeling wasn't what he was feeling.
13:12
Speaker 2: But he, I guess in that moment wasn't understanding why
13:16
Speaker 2: she felt the way she felt.
13:17
Speaker 1: Oh well, we gave him credit previously for just saying, Okay,
13:22
Speaker 1: that's how you feel and I'm just gonna listen, and
13:24
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Robes. He did that several times, you.
13:27
Speaker 2: Remember, right, But obviously he didn't understand what she was
13:31
Speaker 2: really upset about because it kept happening.
13:35
Speaker 1: No, this is what happens. You're actually looking at it
13:38
Speaker 1: completely through her eyes and not at all. This is fascinating.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's always fascinating. This always happens like this a very
13:46
Speaker 1: basic thing that you gave him credit for.
13:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, absolutely.
13:49
Speaker 1: So that's the only thing I'm talking about, Like, she
13:52
Speaker 1: complained about something and he didn't try to mitigate. He
13:56
Speaker 1: didn't say, well what I meant was or anything. You
13:58
Speaker 1: gave him credit.
13:59
Speaker 2: You Absolutely, he just.
14:01
Speaker 1: Validated, accept it and said okay. And what I'm saying
14:05
Speaker 1: is what would happen if everybody did that in a relationship.
14:10
Speaker 1: I know that's hard. I know that's hard, but that
14:14
Speaker 1: is what is required. But when you gave him credit
14:18
Speaker 1: for it. Now, in this conversation, you said, you're still saying, well,
14:21
Speaker 1: he didn't understand it. She was trying to. I'm saying,
14:23
Speaker 1: my point is just listen stop men. Women, when somebody
14:28
Speaker 1: says they're hurt, stop and listen to why. If they're
14:34
Speaker 1: saying you're the one that hurt them, stop and listen
14:37
Speaker 1: to why it is Robes. I know you're saying it's
14:40
Speaker 1: human nature said no, no, no, no, you don't need to
14:43
Speaker 1: be hurt. You need to understand where I was coming from.
14:46
Speaker 1: When you do that, that is disaster. You know that
14:50
Speaker 1: you've been put through it. You've done it to people.
14:53
Speaker 1: I've done it to people. I've had it done to me.
14:55
Speaker 1: That is the thing, and that is the beauty of
14:57
Speaker 1: what I see in Casey and Anaya. The back and forth.
15:01
Speaker 1: They found their way back to each other, and it
15:03
Speaker 1: seems to be okay and working. But when they stopped
15:07
Speaker 1: being able to respond to each other. Just listen to
15:11
Speaker 1: how I feel and leave it at that. It was
15:15
Speaker 1: great when it was positive, So how about this there's
15:18
Speaker 1: something negative. Just listen to how I feel and you
15:23
Speaker 1: don't have to say anything. That is the most That
15:26
Speaker 1: is key to relationships, that communication issue. I love seeing
15:30
Speaker 1: this play out.
15:31
Speaker 2: Yes, and they are exhibit A. So it was remarkable
15:35
Speaker 2: to see them like their energy we talked about their
15:39
Speaker 2: energy last episode completely shifted when the letters were read.
15:44
Speaker 2: It was like all the bad, all the negative, all
15:47
Speaker 2: the hurt feelings were wiped away. And that just goes
15:50
Speaker 2: to show you the impact of love and loving words.
15:54
Speaker 2: They can heal massive wounds. That was my takeaway.
15:58
Speaker 1: The episode was like an hour and fifteen minutes. They
16:00
Speaker 1: were in the dumps for an hour.
16:03
Speaker 2: And they were and so I was so happy to
16:06
Speaker 2: see like, I do feel like I understand everything we
16:09
Speaker 2: just talked about. But I do think the biggest takeaway
16:11
Speaker 2: is love conquers all when you just lead with love
16:15
Speaker 2: and you say you know what, Yeah, my feelings might
16:18
Speaker 2: have been hurt, I might have been upset, but if
16:19
Speaker 2: I've got like, if I can just be loving, it
16:23
Speaker 2: negates all the bad shit. But it's hard. It is hard.
16:28
Speaker 2: It is so hard, all right, when we come back.
16:33
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about an I in Casey, more
16:35
Speaker 2: than we thought we would. But we still have Kenzy
16:38
Speaker 2: and Corbyn to talk about. And oh, let's think about
16:41
Speaker 2: Sincere and Melanie. Hello, we're just getting started. Welcome back
16:56
Speaker 2: everyone to this episode of Why Say the Island episode
17:01
Speaker 2: of Amy and TJ, because we're on episode thirteen and
17:04
Speaker 2: there was so much to talk about from this episode.
17:07
Speaker 2: We had a recoupling, which was huge, and what each
17:11
Speaker 2: islander was asked to do was to write a love
17:13
Speaker 2: letter to the person that you want to couple up with,
17:15
Speaker 2: which of course set up the perfect drama for the
17:19
Speaker 2: end of the episode, where Kenzie ended up with two
17:22
Speaker 2: letters in her mailbox and Sincere ended up with two
17:27
Speaker 2: letters in his mailbox. We both saw that coming, did
17:30
Speaker 2: we not at all? Yes, So Kenzie had two from
17:34
Speaker 2: Corban and Caleb, Sincere had two letters from Soul and Melanie.
17:39
Speaker 1: So Soul that no letter and Caleb got no letter.
17:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was sad.
17:44
Speaker 1: It was tough to watch to see this playoffs.
17:47
Speaker 2: You mentioned this, You talked about how hard it was
17:50
Speaker 2: to hear the gushing love letter to the person they
17:55
Speaker 2: chose and the other person a la Caleb and Soul
18:00
Speaker 2: had to listen to the person who they wanted to
18:03
Speaker 2: couple up with, who they wrote a love letter to
18:06
Speaker 2: talk about how much they loved another person.
18:09
Speaker 1: Or This is one where I will give the producers
18:11
Speaker 1: of this show credit. This was the best game or
18:14
Speaker 1: setup or this wasn't even around the fire pick count.
18:17
Speaker 1: This was the best one I've seen. I haven't seen
18:18
Speaker 1: this before.
18:19
Speaker 2: I've never seen this before, and I thought it landed.
18:22
Speaker 2: It was sincere and actually really good.
18:27
Speaker 1: We complained, I hated the kissing games and all this
18:29
Speaker 1: stuff they were doing. I'm giving you all full credit.
18:32
Speaker 1: This was a brilliant setup and it made for great drama.
18:36
Speaker 1: That think my problem and you talked about Caleb no
18:39
Speaker 1: excuse me, Yes, Caleb and Corn and Corbyn. Yes. So
18:44
Speaker 1: Caleb finds out he is essentially does have a letter.
18:47
Speaker 1: Nobody's picked him, so he has to hear the love
18:49
Speaker 1: letters that Kinsey and Corbyn essentially wrote back and forth
18:52
Speaker 1: to each other. That sucks, Robes. I am the last
18:57
Speaker 1: four episodes maybe sincere. I'm really wanting to like this
19:03
Speaker 1: brother and I was with him in the beginning, but
19:05
Speaker 1: he's making some errors and we all do he can
19:08
Speaker 1: still a good dude. Seems like a really decent dude,
19:12
Speaker 1: it really and maybe I shouldn't take it out on
19:14
Speaker 1: him and maybe just put all my sympathy with Soul.
19:17
Speaker 1: But to have to stand there and listen to the
19:21
Speaker 1: guy who has been telling you for days how much
19:26
Speaker 1: he's into you, wants to be with you, wants.
19:29
Speaker 2: To explore you, could see a future with you.
19:31
Speaker 1: Making out with you, stand there one she opens the
19:35
Speaker 1: thing and she knows she's getting rejected. That's awful enough,
19:39
Speaker 1: But to have to hear Melanie read the words that
19:44
Speaker 1: Sincere wrote about Melanie. I think he should have backed
19:48
Speaker 1: it off. I think he should He knew what that
19:50
Speaker 1: moment was going to be. He should have. I just
19:54
Speaker 1: think something she deserved this a little more. I hate
19:58
Speaker 1: a Soul right now. My heart is going out to her.
20:01
Speaker 1: But that I didn't like how that played out.
20:04
Speaker 2: I thought she handled it really, really well. She I
20:07
Speaker 2: thought she was gonna cry. She did not, And she said,
20:10
Speaker 2: you know what, call it woman's intuition. I guess I
20:13
Speaker 2: thought we had a good thing going. She said, it's sad.
20:15
Speaker 2: I guess I was wrong, but here it was my
20:19
Speaker 2: favorite part of the whole damn episode. We are thinking, obviously,
20:25
Speaker 2: we know how Love Island works. We're not newbies to this.
20:28
Speaker 2: Caleb and Soul are now single and vulnerable. The I
20:34
Speaker 2: one hundred percent believe that both of them were going
20:36
Speaker 2: to be kicked off the villa, like you got thirty
20:38
Speaker 2: minutes to pack, you gotta get out of the villa.
20:41
Speaker 2: And they said today is all about love, and they said,
20:48
Speaker 2: you are now a couple. We hope you guys can
20:51
Speaker 2: figure it out. That was the cool twist that I thought.
20:55
Speaker 2: They claimed that it was a night about love, a
20:58
Speaker 2: night about and we even heard we even heard the
21:05
Speaker 2: host of the whole show talk about how love is
21:08
Speaker 2: now the theme of Love Island, and in that spirit,
21:13
Speaker 2: in that theme, they wanted to have them stay together
21:15
Speaker 2: instead of getting kicked off the island together, which I
21:18
Speaker 2: thought was really cool.
21:20
Speaker 1: Who knows how things will work out, And they've been
21:23
Speaker 1: thrown together. Other couples have been thrown together. I mean,
21:25
Speaker 1: Casey and I didn't initially pick each other. What was it,
21:29
Speaker 1: Trinity and Bryce didn't initially pick each other, got thrown together.
21:34
Speaker 2: That's true.
21:34
Speaker 1: We never know how it goes. I think America, the
21:38
Speaker 1: folks that are watching the show are okay with that
21:41
Speaker 1: because we all generally from the moment they came in
21:43
Speaker 1: like these two. Actually the bombshells Jen as well. I'm
21:46
Speaker 1: liking her. They came in not as a holes. They
21:50
Speaker 1: didn't come in they got a job to do, but
21:52
Speaker 1: they didn't come in malicious. I would necessarily say, we
21:56
Speaker 1: like so, we like Caleb for sure, and so they're
21:58
Speaker 1: going to stick around for a while, okay, just if
22:00
Speaker 1: they give them a few more days just to hang out.
22:03
Speaker 2: I'm excited that they're still staying, and I think it
22:05
Speaker 2: adds some drama because of who they were once coupled
22:08
Speaker 2: up with, and that.
22:10
Speaker 1: You break these folks up now, I don't think that
22:13
Speaker 1: that's done. What Bombshell is breaking?
22:16
Speaker 2: Casa Amore or what Cassa A Moore is the big
22:19
Speaker 2: thing that's coming this week, right next week, it's impending.
22:24
Speaker 2: I don't know when. Oh no, it's the what is it?
22:26
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's next week that's coming.
22:29
Speaker 2: Is going to be huge.
22:29
Speaker 1: They're solid. It's fine to one couple's already had sex.
22:33
Speaker 1: Bryce and Trinity been through enough hell Melody and sincere
22:37
Speaker 1: if they don't get married at this point is going
22:39
Speaker 1: to be a disappointment. Who else is left? Uh, you've
22:43
Speaker 1: got Gabrielle. Gabrielle, He'll couple with anyone when it comes
22:47
Speaker 1: in the building.
22:48
Speaker 2: You feel like he's kind of good with anything that's breathing.
22:50
Speaker 1: And Corbyn and Homegirl, they can't wait to get into
22:53
Speaker 1: the private suite thing.
22:54
Speaker 2: Yeah they're hot and heavy. But I loved how this ended.
22:59
Speaker 2: I loved how so Ariano Mattox when she I don't know,
23:02
Speaker 2: did you take this away from the ending where she
23:05
Speaker 2: was saying it's all about love and you guys are
23:06
Speaker 2: staying and you're a couple now. And then she told
23:09
Speaker 2: the Islanders basically, you never know what tomorrow will bring
23:14
Speaker 2: and tells Islanders to love one another. And then they
23:17
Speaker 2: end with a very touching tribute to the forty year
23:21
Speaker 2: old producer who unexpectedly died in Fiji. His name was
23:23
Speaker 2: James Barker. He had been with Love Island since twenty
23:27
Speaker 2: twenty and so after she made this announcement and told
23:31
Speaker 2: the Islanders basically, you never know, like you have to
23:34
Speaker 2: just seize the day basically, it then shows a full
23:38
Speaker 2: screen for James and then there was a beautiful photo
23:41
Speaker 2: montage of him on the set with folks and they said,
23:46
Speaker 2: James Barker, we love you. And I thought that was beautiful,
23:51
Speaker 2: just an homage to this unfortunate, unexpected death of a
23:55
Speaker 2: producer they had.
23:56
Speaker 1: They get the show gets it right sometimes there are
23:58
Speaker 1: times they get it right, and there's times they seem
23:59
Speaker 1: to understand the impact they have culturally and a lot
24:03
Speaker 1: of people are watching. And if you have a chance
24:05
Speaker 1: to do the right thing, do a sweet thing, do
24:06
Speaker 1: a kind of thing that you should. And I don't know, Robes,
24:10
Speaker 1: if he hadn't passed and it wasn't that, you know what.
24:13
Speaker 2: It might have been voted off. I actually thought that too.
24:15
Speaker 1: But and you know what, that wouldn't have worked seeing
24:17
Speaker 1: two people voted off and that we're gonna have a
24:19
Speaker 1: nice tribute. That wouldn't have been nice. Now maybe who knows,
24:23
Speaker 1: and who knows, Robes, if his death now is going
24:25
Speaker 1: to lead to them having a love connection change, who knows,
24:28
Speaker 1: who knows how it's gonna work. But I give them credit, Robes,
24:31
Speaker 1: we were I will say I I was down on
24:35
Speaker 1: this show to the point I didn't want to watch
24:38
Speaker 1: after episode three, four five, just the kit it was
24:41
Speaker 1: too sexualized.
24:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. It was.
24:45
Speaker 1: It's coming down to that. And this is why I've
24:46
Speaker 1: always jumped on board and loved the show and have
24:49
Speaker 1: no problem saying I'm a fan. I love this show.
24:52
Speaker 1: I love seeing this experiment play out. I love it.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and more so than married forst sight. Now, I agree,
24:58
Speaker 2: and you know it because it it is authentic. They
25:01
Speaker 2: have cameras and microphones twenty four to seven. No one's
25:05
Speaker 2: manipulating anything, and no one's basing this off of information
25:09
Speaker 2: they're getting on the internet. They are truly in a
25:12
Speaker 2: social experiment that we are watching and hopefully learning from.
25:16
Speaker 2: And I did think it was a beautiful moment how
25:19
Speaker 2: they honored James Barker and his passing. But here's the
25:23
Speaker 2: cool thing. Now, America votes for their favorite couple and
25:26
Speaker 2: we have a reprieve tonight. The next episode is Thursday night.
25:30
Speaker 2: But yes, someone almost certainly and maybe a couple is
25:35
Speaker 2: being voted off or out of the villa on Thursday,
25:38
Speaker 2: So we will of course be watching, and we always
25:41
Speaker 2: appreciate you listening to us. Everyone. I made me Roebuck
25:44
Speaker 2: alongside TJ. Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
