02:22I felt like I was missing out
02:24No we kept
02:25Sophie kept it warm for you
02:26But I'm so happy you're here
02:28What a bang to end on
02:29Obviously I've been watching
02:30Every single minute of it
02:33What a season guys
02:34It's obviously bigger than last year
02:36Which is insane
02:37What a great cast
02:39Justine I have to ask
02:41What's it like being back in Fiji?
02:44Oh it's amazing
02:45I've missed it
02:45It feels like home at this point
02:47Is it bringing back lots of memories?
02:48Yeah
02:49Some good some bad
02:50Some good some bad
02:51Oh god
02:52I'm so sorry girl
02:53You two were friendship goals
02:55In season two and games
02:56Thank you
02:57What's it like being reunited?
02:59Well you probably see each other all the time right?
03:01Yeah
03:01But this is cool because
03:02Like having you on After Send
03:04I literally was telling her
03:04I was like I needed her to come out here
03:06I was like please I need you
03:07I need a bit of a home
03:08Especially with how crazy this season has been
03:09I'm like remind me what friendship is please
03:11Girl I got you
03:13So I wasn't enough?
03:15Nice to know that
03:16I love you
03:17Thanks for filling in
03:20And Justine you won Love Island Games with Jack
03:24I have to ask
03:25What happened after the show?
03:28Well so we're not together
03:29Yeah I kind of figured that
03:31After the show I feel like we tried our best
03:36But I don't know
03:38I don't know if it's just me
03:39But like there's always other people still in the picture
03:42So I don't really know
03:43It's not you
03:44It's not you
03:45Girl
03:46It's not you
03:47It's not you queen
03:48It's always him
03:49It's always him
03:50No we did our best I guess
03:53But um
03:54I don't know
03:54Because you guys were cute
03:56Yeah I feel like that's a question you'd have to ask Jack
03:58Because
03:58We got Jack on the line
04:00Oh wait he's actually here
04:01No I'm not
04:03You're magic
04:04I didn't know
04:04You said
04:05Oh hell no
04:06So your fellow islanders voted for you to win the $100,000 cash prize
04:11And left you with a big decision to make
04:14Let's have a quick reminder
04:16So Justine it's now time to find out whether you were here for love
04:20Or whether it was all just a game
04:23I've been in a situation before where I've trusted my connection with somebody
04:30And got done dirty a little bit in the end
04:34And I'm kind of struggling with that
04:42I just feel like the connection I felt with Jack this time was a lot more real than the last time
04:49He had a rough time in here and I feel like we both really deserve it so I'm going to split it
04:54That's heavy
05:04Justine
05:05If you were to turn back time now would you have just taken the money?
05:09Probably
05:09Yeah
05:09I said fucking lately
05:11Like cut me that check my mama needs that
05:14To be fair both times you're kind of like the single winner
05:17Because it's like you you get these men there
05:19Yeah
05:20As my plus one
05:21Yeah
05:22Yeah you should have just took the money around
05:25Yeah
05:25To be honest
05:26I want to ask you all actually
05:27Games season 2 is coming
05:29Very soon
05:31Would any of you do it again?
05:32Absolutely not
05:33No
05:34Absolutely not
05:37Did you see how I got eliminated?
05:40They literally chewed me up
05:42I was like I'm okay
05:43Callum
05:44What about you?
05:45I was saying like thinking no at first
05:47But as soon as I came back to Fiji
05:49It was like that nostalgia feeling
05:50You would?
05:51Who knows yeah maybe
05:52I don't know
05:53Okay
05:53Producers I hope you're listening
05:54It's a yes for Callum
05:55Callum wants to do it
05:57Keep me in Fiji
05:58Now guys we've got so much to talk about
06:01Now we have our final four couples
06:03Before we take a deep dive into our finalists
06:06Let's see the highlights of their last week in the villa
06:09We've been on quite the journey
06:15I wouldn't want to spend this experience with anybody else but her
06:19Thank you again for believing in me
06:21I couldn't imagine me picking someone else other than you
06:23We recognize the queen that I am
06:27Without ever trying to thin my legs
06:29It's been every day with her
06:30It's been a good feeling
06:31I feel like I can be myself
06:33This boy was a risk worth taking
06:36I'm giddy right now
06:37I ain't gonna lie to you
06:38I'm finally coupled up with someone
06:45That doesn't get scared
06:46But my pinky toe touches his pinky toe
06:48When I first walked in I did not think I was going to get this close to anybody
06:52Brock will you be exclusive with me?
06:54Yes of course
06:55Another day in paradise
06:58What you gonna do when they come for you?
07:02What the fuck?
07:06I don't know what the fuck I was hearing
07:07So I covered my head
07:08Why are you cursing around the baby?
07:09No no no no no no
07:10Nope nope
07:11She's a baby
07:12She cannot hold her head up
07:14I started getting like this really fiery feeling in my chest
07:18Like flutters in all parts of my body
07:20I didn't realize seeing Nick in dad mode made him look even better
07:24Islanders the hideaway is now open
07:29Are you ready for the hideaway?
07:32Yeah we need to go
07:33Will you be exclusive to Shelly Evelyn Bussain?
07:41Of course
07:42It's family day!
07:47I feel like there's military videos on TikTok
07:55You're fucking lying!
07:59Thank you for coming
08:02America has been voting
08:06Time just won't stand still
08:10But it's all
08:12We made it to the final four
08:14Final four!
08:18Let's go!
08:21The final something that we never really expected
08:23The 90s!
08:27Wow!
08:28Why does it make me emotional?
08:31Girl, I cried the whole last episode
08:33I don't want it to end!
08:34I know!
08:34It's so good!
08:35We literally had a box of tissues there didn't we?
08:37I was like why do I feel like I'm watching an actual movie?
08:40I couldn't stop crying
08:41It was so good!
08:42It's been a huge week obviously
08:45We now have our 2025 finalists!
08:49What the heck?
08:51That's crazy!
08:52No that is crazy!
08:53That is actually crazy!
08:54Look at them here they are
08:55Tell me is there anyone else you really expected to be in the final?
08:59Yeah Shelley and Ace a hundred percent
09:01Right?
09:01I felt like because they were in there from the start
09:04Their connection like really grew
09:05I for sure thought they would at least be final four
09:08I did too I was quite like oh my god why?
09:10I was shocked!
09:11So shocked!
09:12I think Ace and Shelley and Taylor and Clark deserve to be in the top four
09:16Yeah I feel like Taylor and Clark had the strongest like romantic connection in there
09:21Out of everyone
09:21Yeah
09:22You know but I guess the public vote who they want to keep in and it is what it is
09:25True America man
09:28Even though it's like late in the game
09:29It's still nice to see all these new connections develop you know
09:33Because I feel like sometimes it is a bit of fate in there like especially with Nick and Alondria like
09:37A lot of people can see that there's like an underlying spark there and they just didn't explore it early on
09:41They look so good together
09:42They do!
09:42I love them together!
09:44I feel like he brings out such a playful side in her
09:48And she brings out like like she demands more of him you know what I mean?
09:52Like I feel like he's a man around her and I love him
09:56I agree
09:57Yeah
09:57I loved them when they went into the photo booth and he was like
10:00Me too!
10:00Yes!
10:01I was like yes!
10:02Yes!
10:03And I feel like everything happens for a reason
10:05Yeah
10:05Like they both got dumped at the same time
10:08They both came back together
10:09They tried things out didn't work and now they've ended up together again
10:12Yeah the universe is like
10:14You can make it work!
10:15Yeah they're like come on
10:16You're meant to be together
10:18We're giving you one more chance
10:20There's only ones who don't see it but we said we'll help you out
10:22Yeah
10:23They met the families now and both mums seem to really approve
10:27I love that Nick's mom like wanted them together from the beginning
10:31From the beginning
10:31I know she said it straight
10:33Emily approval is everything
10:34It's everything
10:36Let's move on to Huda and Chris
10:39They're in the final
10:40Are we happy to see them in the final?
10:42I'm happy to see them in the final because I feel like
10:44I'm happy to see that she's open to growth
10:46She's for sure not the same Huda from the start
10:49And I feel like it's because what she's receiving she's open to
10:52And I do feel like they are a good match
10:54If they can make it work
10:55I think they could go the distance
10:56Because he's so calm cool and collected
10:59And he's like trying to understand her
11:01She's a little bit more fiery
11:03But together I feel like they can balance each other out
11:05Balance each other that's what I thought
11:06Yeah
11:06Okay let's move on to Iris and Pepe next
11:10These two came in as bombshells together
11:13Ended up as a couple
11:15Did anyone see these two coming at all?
11:18No?
11:20I feel like for sure they were not on my bingo card
11:23I see them and I'm like oh they seem like they really like each other
11:25They have a lot of chemistry
11:26I feel like they they do connect well
11:27But they just didn't see each other on each other's radars
11:30When they first came in because they came in as bombshells together
11:33And I feel like when you do that you just
11:35Ignore the person you walked in
11:36Yes off limits for some reason
11:38And you just explore other people
11:39But do we like them as a couple?
11:41Yeah they're cute
11:41Yeah they're cute together
11:43They have chemistry they have really good chemistry
11:45Pepe's mum said she saw a spark from their very first conversation
11:49How insane is that?
11:51Do mums always know best?
11:52They do
11:53That'll do it for me too
11:53If my mum was saying that I'd be like done we're getting married
11:56Okay yeah
11:57He's the one
11:58Yep
11:59Finally last but not least
12:02Amaya and Brian
12:03What do we make of this couple?
12:05I adore them
12:06They melt my heart
12:08And their parents they all got along so well
12:11Like it was so beautiful
12:13I couldn't stop crying during that
12:14Same
12:15Like just seeing the pure joy from all of them
12:16Yeah
12:17I'm just so happy for Amaya
12:19Because she's gone through the most extreme journey in there compared to anyone
12:22Like ups and downs like every couple of days
12:25And she's like glowing now you know
12:27She's just smiling 24-7
12:30Oh it's the best
12:30The night in the hideaway was very steamy
12:33Yeah
12:34Do you reckon we'll get a real baby elijah very soon?

13:38How long have you been watching for?
13:40So I've been watching for a while
13:41I actually started with your season
13:44What? Shut up
13:44With you and Molly Mae
13:45With me
13:46Yes
13:47Yes so I started with the UK version with my sis and I
13:51Oh my god
13:52So then I saw you lovely ladies
13:54And it's just been up ever since
13:56Wild
13:57Yeah I'm happy to see everyone's falling in love with love island like I've been loving it for years
14:02Oh my god
14:04So chloe tell me what are you making of this season so far?
14:08I feel like you don't know what to expect but I feel like I have really good intuition
14:13Because I have been wanting Alondria and Nick together since day one
14:19Like every time with the challenges they would just look so cute together
14:23The kisses would be extra passionate and I was like nah something's there
14:27You would pick her up and you see her nice plump juicy booty and he's like looking like he's handling it
14:32I was like something is here
14:33Yes
14:34Mm-hmm
14:35Like absolute ass goals
14:36Yep
14:37I am drooling over that ass every single day
14:40Did you see her mom too?
14:42Her mom is
14:42That's what she you could tell she got it from her mom
14:45When her mom walked in I was like this checks out
14:47Baddies all the way around
14:49Oh my god who are you loving at the moment?
14:52My girl Amaya I relate to her so much and I'm so happy people have gone this journey with her throughout
14:58This season and really just saw that she's such a sweetheart
15:00I am absolutely obsessed with her
15:02And he was the guy who stood up for her
15:04Yep
15:05We love a man who supports his queen
15:07Yes
15:07Yes
15:07We do
15:07Have you got a favorite moment of the season?
15:11My favorite moment is when Amaya was singing her affirmations in the mirror
15:16Yeah
15:17Yes
15:18It's just so cute I think that was my favorite moment of the whole season
15:22And I really loved everyone seeing their families
15:25What are you doing to celebrate the finale tomorrow?
15:27I will be in Saint Lucia with my glass of wine
15:30I will be watching on my iPad and it's going to be a good time
15:34You don't mind if we join you, right?
15:36I don't mind, come with me
15:39We can all share the iPad
15:43Are you going to watch Beyond the Villa because that's coming out soon?
15:46Yes, I'm nosy
15:47Same
15:48I love my girls on there so it'll be fun to see how their journeys are after this experience has happened
15:56One final question, who are you rooting for tomorrow night?
15:59I think I want Amaya to win because that's my girl so I'm gonna have to go for Amaya
16:04And I want Nick and Alondria to withstand the test of time after the show
16:09But I feel like Amaya deserves it the most
16:11Really has gone through it
16:13I'm like, I scream at the TV like, girl, where do you get your energy from?
16:17She just gives all the time
16:20When she gets the zoomies and starts running
16:21Oh my god, I'm so obsessed
16:23I love all the couples to be honest
16:26It's a great final, right?

16:57And Taylor and Clark will be on the sofa
16:59But next, we get the Love Island Lowdown from Ariana Maddox
17:04See you in a bit
17:05Woo!
17:23Welcome back to Aftersun USA
17:25Now, I've been waiting all year for this reunion
17:29She's a fashion icon and an incredible TV host
17:32And I'm so lucky to call her a friend
17:35No one does anything quite like her
17:37It's Ariana Maddox
17:43My queen has returned
17:46Oh my god, let's pretend we didn't have dinner together
17:48Yeah
17:48Oh my god, I'm so normal
17:50Woohoo!
17:52You look so gorgeous as always
17:54Ew, you look stunning
17:55Oh my god, I missed you so much
17:56I need this
17:57I missed you
17:58I've missed getting to sit on this sofa with you
18:00And like just talk about everything that's going on
18:03Well, I've been watching and I literally was like
18:07Yeah, what a season, right?
18:08Can you actually believe it's the finale tomorrow?
18:11It feels like it's gone by so fast
18:13Well, I'm really sad because obviously I've not been here
18:15And like I'm like in and out
18:16Yeah, we only just got you back
18:17I know
18:18Obviously so much has happened this season
18:20But it somehow feels like it has been shorter
18:23Even though it's the same amount of time
18:25Yeah, yeah
18:26I don't know
18:27Like the other day I was thinking about
18:29How we only had a few days left here in Fiji
18:31And I was, you know, watching the sunset
18:33And getting emotional
18:34I just was thinking like, how did it go by so fast?
18:38And like, I'm gonna miss it
18:39Now, what did you make of this week?
18:42I was not okay watching the families come in
18:45I literally got so emotional
18:46Yeah
18:46Did you get emotional?
18:47I did
18:47I got emotional
18:48And I love when the families come
18:50Because like, I feel like it gives you such a better sense of knowing each one of them
18:57When you see them interact with people who really know them
19:00And who they feel super comfortable with
19:03That gag with the screen
19:05And then Amaya's family
19:06Oh, and they snuck in
19:08Yeah
19:09I was almost
19:09When they did this, I was like
19:11We need like a slow-mo
19:13Yeah, no
19:14I know
19:15No, that was everything to me
19:17It was really wholesome
19:19That's the correct word
19:20It was just wholesome to me
19:21I was like, oh my god
19:22I could watch that all day long
19:23Yeah, it was super, super cute
19:25That Viva Las Villa challenge, that looked so fun
19:29Yeah, I love watching the messy, the, you know, just pouring buckets of different colors of liquid on each other
19:36Like, I just love watching all the ways that each islander kind of will do each thing differently
19:42Whether it's the sliding down the pole
19:43Huda coming down that pole and she was like
19:45She was so impressive
19:47Oh my god
19:47Although the pole, I think, needed to be a little bit
19:50It was like
19:51It was
19:52Yeah, they were getting caught on it
19:53I was like, that sounds painful
19:54It needed a bit of lubrication
19:59It was definitely fun
20:00I love watching all the channels
20:01Because it's like best friends just having the best time
20:04Yeah, everyone just kind of messes about
20:06Yeah
20:07It's such a blast to watch
20:08Yeah
20:09Yeah
20:09Well, apart from reuniting with me
20:11Yes
20:11Obviously
20:13What's been your favorite moment of the series?
20:16I've really enjoyed like getting to go in and tell the girls about Kassa
20:22Because it was sneaky
20:23Yeah
20:23I got to sneak in there
20:25At one point we weren't sure like should I take my shoes off?
20:28Oh
20:28Just in case I made too much noise
20:30You were like, no they look too good
20:32And like just getting to be a part of like those fun moments with everyone
20:36Because so many times I come in there with bad news
20:39Or I come in with bad news disguised as good news
20:42Or it starts as good news and then it turns as bad news
20:44So when I get to come in and just have fun with them and do something like that
20:47Or even like the leather challenge, which was just fun
20:50Those are my favorite moments of the season for sure
20:53Okay, well my favorite moment
20:54What I want was every single one of your looks because you slid every goddamn time
21:00Thank you
21:01Where do you actually go with the mic packs?
21:03Oh my god
21:04So
21:04Some of those looks I'm like
21:05Yeah
21:06Obviously the one where the top was like this
21:09Yes
21:09And then it looked like it was pants
21:11But that was attached, right?
21:12Yeah
21:13Where the hell did the mic pack go?
21:15Here
21:15Oh right here?
21:16Yeah
21:17That should be a game in itself
21:18Yeah
21:19It's looking at the looks and trying to find where is the mic pack
21:22A lot of times it is kind of up in my butt crack
21:26I'm not gonna lie
21:26Oh
21:28Oh
21:29But like that could that could be every time I walk in that could be a game of
21:33Yeah
21:33Where is the mic pack?
21:34Guess where my mic pack is today
21:36Yeah
21:36I'll see if you get it right
21:38What was your favorite look?
21:40Oh man
21:41I really like the mermaid multi-colored CASA look
21:46That's kind of like my dream hair I've always wanted
21:49And just everything about that was super fun

31:44No
31:45No?
31:46This is not real life
31:47This is AI
31:48We are AI
31:49This is AI
31:51Clark, you had watched some of the season before you went into the villa
31:54Yeah
31:55Did you think that you and Taylor might be a good fit or were you a bit like
32:00No, this isn't going to happen
32:02A little bit of both
32:04A little bit of both
32:04He was my number one going in, but I was still surprised that we hit off so well
32:09You only had two days together alone in the villa before Alandria came back
32:15How hard was that for you?
32:16It wasn't hard
32:18I did want to show her respect and have a conversation with her but
32:22Also continuing to be authentic and move in the same way that I was before she got there so
32:28Yeah, of course
32:30Taylor, you declared in front of everyone that you chose Clark during the challenge
32:39How was that moment for you?
32:40Were you like nervous about saying that or were you just like
32:43You know what, F this, I'm just saying it
32:45I was nervous too
32:47So I'm like, yo
32:47Oh, you were?
32:48Yeah
32:49And at that moment like it was like they wanted to answer right then and there so
32:52Right
32:53I was leaning more towards Clark so I chose Clark
32:55But I was nervous as hell to say it though
32:57Do you know who went home last night?
32:59No
32:59I'm going to tell them
33:00Whatever
33:01It was actually Ace and Shelley
