It's chicks in the office with Rhianne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Reporting to you live from the past. We are recording this a little bit ahead of time because we do have our show in D.C. but we are going to be recapping Dancing with the Stars Wicked night because how can we not? We also have a fun interview with Casey and Tom from Love island, who are a lot of fun. And we have a great game of trivia. Trivia was on fire this week. Yes. And then on Monday we'll have Halloween trivia to get you ready for the spooky Halloween right around the corner.
Rhianne
So we are back on Monday for an episode, but no episodes Wednesday and Friday. So we have Halloween trivia on Monday.
Fran
Yes, we do, because we can't give you our typical Halloween episode. But don't worry, we'll be posting a ton of videos, tiktoks, the whole shebang of our Halloween costumes. So you will not miss out, but unfortunately won't be able to be, you know, in character for the episode like we have been the past couple years. But that is all very exciting. And Halloween trivia is always a blast because you never know what you're gonna get. You know what I mean? The holiday trivia. You just never know. How are we feeling, everybody? We're about to head out.
Rhianne
Great. Excited to travel and get to the shows and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Fran
Yes. We're gonna have a blast now.

Yeah, you love a good show day.
Noah
Yeah, I love a good pre show night, actually. Like maybe the.
Fran
You know how it's like pre show night.
Noah
Well, you know how it's like Christmas Eve is actually better than Christmas. That's how I feel.
Rhianne
It's like the night before our show.
Noah
It's also like the actual show itself is obviously very fun, but it is like a who working and like, so the night before it's like, let's have a nice dinner.
Fran
Yeah, we always get a nice dinner in a couple of drinks. Everyone's in a goofy, funny mood.

Fran
Really, the most important topic today is Dancing with the Stars. Wicked Night was Tuesday night. Everybody was locked in. There's so much discourse happening around this season. Everyone's mad all the time. You know, like, there's a lot of fighting going on on the Internet right now with Dancing with the Stars, but we're here to alleviate that. You know, we're here to give our flowers to all the contestants who deserve it.
Rhianne
It's just a fun night. It's a fun. It's the best show. I just, I love the show. I love that they did Wicked Night.
Fran
We're the best show.
Rhianne
Yes.
Fran
Because we're going on tour.
Rhianne
Well, they're the best show on tv.
Fran
Yes. Right now.
Rhianne
You know, if we were on tv, it'd be us.
Fran
That's true.
Rhianne
Could be one day.
Fran
Yeah. You never know.
Rhianne
But they do such a great job with the themes and Wicked Night exceeded my expectations. I love that they did. I love that they did it in show order. Like all the music went in show order from start to finish of the show, which I thought was so smart. Took you on the whole journey through Wicked. John M. Chu was the guest judge and I thought he was fantastic. Good feedback, fun addition to the. To the judges panel. And really everybody crushed it. I mean, the opening number was so fun. The whole show was so fun. I loved, really start to finish. I had no complaints.
Fran
Yeah. Jon M. Chu Knows what he's talking about when it comes to Wicked, obviously. So he's, you know, grading on a. Probably a higher scale to start the show, you know, I think he hit Alix earl with an 8. And people were not too pleased with that. You know, she got nines otherwise. And an eight slipped in there.
Rhianne
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
From John. And people were right.
Rhianne
He didn't know what the vibe was.
Fran
And people were unhappy with that 8 thrown at Alex. And you know what? Compared to the other dances, when Andy gets a seven, does Alex deserve an eight? No.
Rhianne
She should have at least gotten all nines. And, you know, we were throwing tens out there on. On Tuesday, so, like, that's. People are also really, like, once the first tens. Here's the problem. Once the first tens get thrown out, everybody wants their favorite to get 10 for sure. Like, once the first 10 gets out, everyone's like, Alex deserved a 10, Robert deserved a 10. Every. You know, then everybody deserved a 10.
Fran
Do I think Alex deserved a 10? No. Do I think Robert deserved a 10?
Rhianne
I think it was all nines.
Fran
I think Alex deserved all nines. I think Robert deserved a 10.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Somewhere in there. Yeah.
Rhianne
It was just kind of.
Fran
Maybe not because it was fun.
Rhianne
I loved it so much, But I think realistically, I would have gone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Specifically.
Rhianne
Yeah. I think Robert was actually scored pretty well.
Fran
Yeah. Then Whitney got the first ten. Whitney and Mark. And people are losing their goddamn minds about Whitney and Mark on TikTok. Give it a rest. She's fantastic.
Rhianne
Yes, she is. Suck it up.
Fran
She's great. What are you gonna do about it?
Rhianne
I know.
Fran
Like, just let it be. Why are you so mad that she's so good? All this talk about special treatment. Da, da, da, da, da. Because of Mark.
Rhianne
Well, you know what?
Fran
She's really fucking good, so we just need to leave it at that. Well, we can also root for everybody else. Robert is also fantastic in their eyes. Was it a ten dance? No, I guess not. I think they thought that her quick step was a ten dance, not Robert's. So, I mean, I think people are. You can want your faves to get certain scores, but you're knocking down other people who are really good.
Rhianne
Yeah. I do think that there is, like, viewer bias on the style of dance, too, because some dances are just naturally more exciting. Like a jazz or a contemporary is just more fun to watch most of the time, I think, from, like, the normal viewer than, like, a foxtrot or a quick step. You're like, oh, yeah, that was fun. But we don't know all the rules of a foxtrot. And a quick step that were like, oh, that was such an amazing quick step. And I do think, you know, yes, people think Mark is. You know, there's favoritism or whatever it is. Mark's also just incredibly good at his job. So it's just like, I don't think viewers can be mad at him for that. He's done it for so long. He's so good. He is the vet. Like, he is the pro that has all that experience. So he has also said, you know, he has a hand in working out the arrangement and all those things, which really end up being so good. Because, of course, you can't dance to the whole song. It's just bits and pieces of the song. So he's so good at making those arrangements fit to the dance that it just makes the star look better. It's just the way it goes.
Fran
Yeah. And I. I agree with that. And also, when I watched Whitney and Mark's dance, was I like, oh, my God, that was the best thing I've ever seen. No, because the quick step is pretty in my eyes. A little bit boring. They're just, like, hopping across the stage.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Technically, to the judges, they had an amazing quick step.
Rhianne
Yeah, I did.
Fran
I don't know what it's like. You know what I mean? They're all. To me, it looks like they're hopping around on stage. But besides that, her facial expressions, everything else that goes into it, she really sells it.
Rhianne
She really does.
Fran
And that is undeniable. There were some other great dances. I mean, Elaine was just magical. The ending, it was tear jerking, tear jerking. You know, you're watching. You're watching Lisanne Walters in the crowd just light up watching her bestie on that stage. I saw your sister post this and I kind of agreed. But also at the same time, it was such a magical moment that I really don't care that much. Not that much dancing at the end of that. You know what I mean?
Rhianne
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Fran
Right. So. But still a magical moment.
Rhianne
Yeah, I do.
Fran
Would I replace it with more dancing? No, because I wanted to see that moment. But I do understand where it's like, well, there wasn't that much dancing in that moment. Yeah.
Rhianne
And it goes back because the dancing was so good, like, she was crushing it. That it was like, oh, that extra, you know, 15, 20 seconds or whatever would have been great to see more dance, but at the same time, it was just such an epic moment. They were so. It was so Smart. Because I did love seeing a lot of the wicked elements. I love seeing the pros put a lot of the actual wicked elements into their dances. You know, Val and Alex did the whole book choreography from the. What is this feeling like that was in their dance. And you do that big act one ending from the. From the play, and you get Elaine up there. She's defying gravity. She's. I mean, it was incredible. I. I know. We were just saying, like, everyone fights and says, oh, this person deserved a 10. This person. I think. I think she deserved a 10.
Fran
At least one 10, just for the moment. Like, John should have just gave her a 10 just because of how it was incredible, you know, in depth. It was.
Rhianne
Yeah. And I thought the whole routine was. She nailed it.
Fran
She's. She's so good. Yeah. You know, it's so inspiring, actually, to see her up there. They were so proud of themselves. Love to see that. Jordan and Ezra got tens so well deserved. I love them. They are so high up there on the list for me, for people. I really want to make it and win. The finger hold was so funny. They incorporated the Ariana and Cynthia finger hold in their dance, which was hilarious that they did that, like, very, very chronically online.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
You know, but so perfect. And they got tens. Ezra dropped to the floor. He was shot. I think it was his first.
Rhianne
And they got bleeped.
Fran
His first time getting tens ever as a pro. So that was really cool moment for him. You know, Andy, he. I will say a little bit more this week. You know what I mean?
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
He put in a little bit more this week. Scott and Riley were sent home. People were messaging, how pissed are you that Andy didn't go home instead of Scott and Riley. Yeah. I gotta be honest. Not pissed. Do I think, you know, if Andy really starts making it even further, we got a big problem on our hands. Absolutely. I went on this rant already. Scott and Riley just didn't have the pizzazz this season.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
In my personal opinion, they were kind of forgettable at times.
Rhianne
Yeah. I think that that was pretty obvious in my view. Like, once we got to the end of the episode, in my mind, I was like, scott's going home. Like, I just thought. And yes, I do think going first sometimes not great. But I also think that unfortunately their performances.
Fran
Were.
Rhianne
They are good. I don't like to use words. It's just kind of boring. And I do think that that then makes it forgettable. And then you're like, oh, shoot. And I don't know. I. They clearly, you know, really liked working with each other, Scott and Riley, but I just don't know in the grand scheme of things if it was the right PA for her. She does seem to thrive more with the younger partner. As far as just, like, the choreography goes and all those things. I don't know if that is a factor in the mix here, but I felt like it was pretty obvious that it was going to be Scott because everyone just loves Andy. And you can see online still, everybody is loving Andy. Now, look, it is going to become a problem. I'm not ready to be like, ah. I'm so angry that Andy. Not after this one, that Andy's still here, and. And it's fine. Like, he is entertaining. There's the element of fun and entertainment that he is bringing, which, you know, Emma crushes as well with the dances that are fun to watch and memorable. Like, I kind of put. Like, I kind of put Jen in that category too, of just like, she is. She's doing great and she's getting better. But, you know, maybe falls a little bit on the pro, too, because I think he's getting more criticism that their dances have kind of been forgettable, too. And I think you can even tell that maybe she's feeling that way in the package, being like, I want harder choreography, you know, like, give me something crazy. And they're still not quite, quite getting it. And it does hurt, I think, too, that, like, on a night where there's so many jazz and contemporary that, like, pop, they get a foxtrot, and it's like, okay, well, it's news. Like, it's like, no. You know, you're just kind of like, oh, okay. But then there's so many people who date, take a different dance and then make it explode. I mean, Danielle. Danielle's Argentine tango. Phenomenal. Really fat. I was so happy for her. But here's the problem, because, like, let's say. Let's. Let's play, like, the what happens in the future game. If next week, the way things are going next week, maybe it's Jen and Andy's still around after that. It's like, ooh, if Andy's staying over Elaine or Danielle or Dylan, like, it's gonna be like, I. That we guys, we gotta, like, let's be real here. I'm hoping that we do get to a certain point that everyone's like, oh, my God, we got Andy to, like, week seven week. Like, who? We never would have thought this would happen now, like, his time has come to an.
Fran
I honestly, I think andy's tired.
Rhianne
Yeah. 100%.
Fran
I think he's got to be exhausted.
Rhianne
I'm sure he. I'm sure he is. But, yeah, like, if we're. If we're gonna have a problem, if he does make it far enough, where then the Andy fans are going, like, we can get him to win this thing, and then we're gonna be like, guys, like, come on.
Fran
Yeah, I totally agree with that. I think you're right about Jen as well. I do think Jan is getting. It almost seems like the criticism is more towards him than Jen.
Rhianne
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
But I think the judges. They can't continue to tell him. You know what I'm saying? And then it's like, okay, well, this is just landing on the pro the whole time.
Rhianne
It's such an adjustment. It's his first year.
Fran
It's his first year. And it's kind of tough for her to be on the same season as Whitney right now, because Whitney is so phenomenal that I'm sure it's probably hard for her right now to have Whitney with Mark, who is the pro of all pros, and then you get the new guy, and a lot of the criticism is headed towards his way of. We need new choreography. So that's gotta be hard for her. She's trying so hard. It was sad to see her be like, am I a bad dancer? Like, no. You know what I'm saying? Like, there are actual band. Bad dancers. She's not one of them.
Rhianne
No, she's not. She is a good dancer.
Fran
Yeah. It's just been a little bit forgettable.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Like you said. And, yeah. If Andy is starting to beat out Elaine, Danielle, all those people, we have a big problem on our hands. If he makes it one more week, I don't really think it's that big of a problem. He's entertaining, and this week, I certainly didn't think it was a problem. I.
Rhianne
It was a fun dance, and. Yeah. It's just. He's getting better, and I think it was hard. Like, they gave, and I. And Emma did exactly what I. She made it a big ensemble number. There's extra dancers. It's one short day in the Emerald City. It's a whole fun moment.
Fran
Mm.
Rhianne
And people are gonna love that. So.
Fran
Right. So it's just getting almost about that time where it's gonna get. Start getting real competitive, and we're gonna start seeing people go home that we don't want to see go home or don't deserve to go home.
Rhianne
Yeah. Because I really do think that, like, I Mean, Alex, I kind of even. Sometimes her scores don't show it, but I think she's better. Better than.
Fran
A lot of her scores have been 1,000%. I mean, the one that she did Disney week, Maleficent, I thought was fucking incredible. And I thought that she was totally underscored for that.
Rhianne
I think she's been mis. Scored a little bit for sure. So, like, in my mind, I see like, Alex, Robert, Whitney as my. Like, probably Jordan too now as like top tier. And then Elaine, Dylan, Danielle. Danielle kind of right there. And then, like, then you get. Now we have Jen and Andy where it's like, Andy may. May make it.
Fran
I think he passed that.
Rhianne
I love, you know, Dylan. I appreciate Dylan's effort in all his dances. Like, that is a man that is not afraid to move his hips. And I did laugh at the critique from the judges of, like, you know, you're moving your hips, sometimes it gets a little crazy.
Fran
Yeah. He's not shy of moving his hips.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
It's everything else that needs to move with him.
Rhianne
Yeah. Right, right, right. But he is. I thought that was like, a great rubber too. So.
Fran
Yeah. I mean, it was.
Rhianne
It was a fun night. And I do think that that makes sense. I know probably people are gonna expect us to be, like, outraged that Andy, from what we've been saying.
Fran
Right.
Rhianne
And I'm like, this one, this one. I can'.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
Like, I can't say that.
Fran
What?
Rhianne
I will feel that way once. I will. If. If he is staying over, like, far and beyond. More entertaining and better pairings.
Fran
1,000%. He's on the edge right now.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
It's like. Right. We're gonna. We're gonna rein it in this week.
Rhianne
Right. But I'm afraid it's like, gonna come down to, like, him and Danielle and I'm gonna lose it because I think Danielle has been get like, so much better and is so good that I was so impressed.
Fran
Danielle also does have a strong F of people.
Rhianne
For sure. For sure.
Fran
So we'll see. It's gonna come. The fan bases are going to come into play.
Rhianne
I was Andy.
Fran
I also think that some people might be banning against Whitney to try to get her off the show.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Which I think is really just.
Rhianne
I don't like that.
Fran
Spiteful for no reason. Yeah. In my opinion. Yep. I think people are just so fucking mad at how good her. Her and Mark are and they need to get over it. Just let it be.
Rhianne
It's just like she deserves to make it to the end.
Fran
Right.
Rhianne
You know, if you don't want to vote for her to win. Fine. But like, she should be in the finale. That's like a no brainer.
Fran
Absolutely.
Rhianne
And that's just how the show goes. I do think we've, you know, we're repeating ourselves, but that's what the show's about. I'm not here to watch bad dances from nice people.
Fran
I think that it gets confusing because people are like, well, the premise of the show is for people to go on with no dance experience and learn. At the end of the day, I want to be entertained. So do I enjoy watching Whitney put on a performance of a lifetime? Yes.
Rhianne
Right.
Fran
I do.
Rhianne
And also, it's just like every season since the beginning have had people that has had some sort of dance experience.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
Or some dance background. I mean, we've had.
Fran
Dance is very popular.
Rhianne
Yeah, we've. And you have performers, like stars. These guys are actors, musicians, performers brought like they have some sort of dance experience. You've had plenty of people that have been like boy bands and all these things. Like, they've been dancers. Yeah.
Fran
They have had people choreograph them.
Rhianne
Like, I think back to like og, like old, old, old. I mean, I believe Drew Lachey won the show and like not a, you know, professional dancer, but in a boy band where he had to dance and had to learn dances.
Fran
Right. Jojo Siwa was on. She was on a show called Dance Moms.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Charlie d' Amelio got famous from TikTok for dancing.
Rhianne
Yeah. Like, you know, and everybody loved rooting for Charlie. Yeah.
Fran
It's just.
Rhianne
Yeah, it's weird. It's just like that.
Fran
You know what it is? A lot of people don't like confidence. And Whitney has a lot of confidence. Yeah. And I love it. I love to see somebody confident in themselves like that. And she puts it on when she gets out there. She has the facial expressions like, yeah, I know I'm damn good and good for her. You know, but people, they don't like that.
Rhianne
And.
Fran
You know, that's, that's their own. Yeah, whatever.
Rhianne
I know. I saw people being like mad that they play to the camera sometimes. And I'm like, they're performing.
Fran
They're performing for the play to the camera.
Rhianne
They're like, Whitney and Mark are always looking at the camera. Yeah.
Fran
What are they supposed to do?
Rhianne
They're on tv as they should.
Fran
They're playing.
Noah
People voting. Are at home.
Fran
Exactly. So people are mad at confidence. They're. They're not comfortable with it. And that's a whole other thing. But she's doing great.
Rhianne
Yep.
Fran
So it is.
Rhianne
I love that Connor painted himself green.
Fran
Yeah, he's really. He. You know what? He. He should, though.
Rhianne
Yeah, absolutely.
Fran
He should be painting himself green and getting out there.
Noah
Yep.
Rhianne
So.
Fran
All right, that wraps up the Dancing with the Stars conversation. No other topics today because we're recording a little bit of in advance, but we do have a great interview with Casey and Tom and a great game of trivia. So let's head right into it.

All right, everyone. We are here with two very special guests. We are joined by Casey and Tom from Love Island. They're stopping in the studio. They've had a big New York City weekend and they decided to come on by. So how are we feeling?
Tom
Very good.
Casey
Yeah, I'm great. Feeling good. A bit hungover. Yeah. Because I've been going out quite hard.
Fran
Did you go out last night too, on Sunday?
Casey
No, actually, that was our first night. We. We stayed in.
Fran
It's just like the lingering from Saturday. Yeah, I feel like.
Rhianne
Yeah, I'll say. Sometimes the most fun is Sunday, I think, going out, really.
Tom
Oh, really?
Casey
Because of the football?
Rhianne
Because.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
I am so not a Sunday going out.
Rhianne
She is not at all.
Fran
Never been, never will be.
Rhianne
Maybe not necessarily as much as at, like later at night, but during the day. Like, I. That's the best, I think, for all the. For all the.
Casey
It did look busy when we were walking around.
Fran
That's probably it. I feel like going out on Friday is great if you're gonna do one night because then you have Saturday and Sunday to recover, you know.
Rhianne
But when you're in New York, you gotta. You gotta try everything. Right.
Tom
100.
Casey
I didn't realize how, like, lively it was. Like, everyone goes out. Everyone loves it.
Amelia
Yeah.
Tom
It's like London, though. Everyone's always out.
Casey
Yeah, true.
Rhianne
Have you guys had New York weekends before or was this like Your full, proper New York weekend.
Tom
I came last Christmas with my fiance.
Fran
Congratulations.
Rhianne
Thank you.
Fran
Very exciting.
Noah
Thank you.
Tom
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah, it sounds weird, I know.
Tom
It's just crazy.
Fran
It's exciting.
Tom
Yeah. Really exciting. So I came with her family last Christmas and it was like snowing in Central park and it was like, unreal. And then this is my second time.
Casey
I literally came this time last year for Halloween because I ran the marathon in New York last year, but no marathon this year. No, not this year.
Rhianne
Did you do.
Casey
I did the Sydney one a couple of months ago.
Fran
Okay. Okay.
Casey
I haven't been back since before that. I went straight from Sydney to Fiji and then straight from Fiji to la. So I've been living out of suitcase for like two.
Rhianne
So you haven't been home at all?
Casey
No.
Rhianne
Finally today, since you left for Love.
Fran
Island, he's got to keep going on Love island until he comes home.
Tom
Yeah.
Rhianne
Well, I don't believe you.
Fran
Yeah, I don't believe you.
Rhianne
And same.
Fran
Casey, the last time that we talked to you, we were talking to you.
Rhianne
Over the screen with Gabby.
Fran
With Gabby. Didn't pan out. Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Casey
Yeah. To be honest, there's not much to it. Like, we tried to make it work after the show. It wasn't working. We tried to give it a good go and just decided to go our separate ways.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
Well, what was it working? Oh, God, I don't know. I think. I think everyone says this, but it's. It's so different being in there. Like in the. When you come out and we came out and we tried to integrate into each other's lives and like our day to day lives and it just. It just. It just was different. It just felt different on the outside to what it was like in. On the inside, which is fine. Like, there was no bad blood there. It wasn't like anyone cheated or anything like that. It just. It just didn't work out.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
You guys, you feel like you're a different lifestyle, so.
Casey
Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Right.
Rhianne
It's like you're forced to live the same lifestyle in the villa.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
You get back to your. Your real life, Tom. How did you find it? Like, after leaving the villain, Obviously you and Molly have made it work.
Tom
Yeah.
Rhianne
So what would what goes into make we see how it doesn't work. What goes into making it work?
Tom
I don't know. I just think, like, when you, like, she's my person. I mean, she's like my best friend. Like, we do everything together and we didn't really spend much time away from each other. Like when we came out, so we were just together all the time. And yeah, we've just gone from strength to strength and then now we're engaged. So, yeah, things just keep getting better and better.
Fran
Yeah, that's amazing.
Rhianne
But, yeah, maybe, you know, one more show, you know, that it could be what life.
Fran
Honestly, I know straight up, you can't, like, you have to put that to it.
Casey
You know what?
Rhianne
We'll see when Love Island Australia calls. And if we don't see you, well.
Fran
I think people got excited to see you come back, but then on the other side of it, we're like, hi, me, Casey again.
Casey
Right.
Fran
You know, so Love Island Games was your fourth.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Time on the show.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
That was a good one.
Fran
Yeah. When you got that call, were you hesitant at all or you're like, yeah, no, I'm gonna go back.
Casey
Yeah. If I'm completely honest, like, if it was the right amount of money to go back on, I would have done it. So it wasn't about money, Tops. Yeah. So it wasn't anything other than the honesty, is there? If being completely honest, Like, I wouldn't have done it if I was going back on for free sort of thing. And it was more of a love that answer.
Fran
I was getting paid. So I'm going back on.
Casey
It was like, my job is now Love Island. Like, yeah, it's like a full time job.
Tom
But you were saying it was so different to all like.
Casey
Yeah, totally. Yeah.
Rhianne
The other shows you've all filmed in.
Casey
The same place in South Africa, in Cape Town. Yeah.
Rhianne
Okay. And then obviously this one, you're in Fiji.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
So how different was that?
Casey
The villa was cooler.
Rhianne
Cooler for games?
Casey
Yeah, yeah, it was bigger. Cooler. There was like a sauna.
Tom
Oh, my God.
Casey
And there was like a speakeasy. You know what speakeasy is? Yeah, it's like a backstreet bar. So it was like in the villa. Yeah, yeah. It was crazy.
Fran
They just built that this season.
Rhianne
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Season six, I think.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
For season was able to pay for season seven, how big it got.
Casey
But yeah, I preferred the villa in Fiji for sure. But I feel like Cape Town villa I'm loyal to and that's like my home. That's like my second home.
Noah
Right.
Fran
Are you gonna miss it because you're going back?
Casey
Yeah.
Tom
Is it in South Africa?
Casey
Yeah. I think you can actually book it out on like, Airbnb or, like, booking.
Tom
I've seen it on Tick Tock. It doesn't look the same. So I wouldn't want to do that.
Casey
So maybe we might have to go back there just to.
Rhianne
Yeah. Because they probably, like, leave the bare bones of it.
Tom
I think so.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Like, all the fun stuff is taken out. Like, they're not leaving all the expensive.
Fran
Right.
Casey
Whereas the villa in Fiji, they build literally from scratch.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, they take it down. Yeah.
Rhianne
We actually have been in the villa last year after season six.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
We went and did after sun and toured, like, the villa and everything. And that was awesome.
Fran
Yeah, it was really cool. I just.
Rhianne
You're surprised by how small it is, though.
Fran
I didn't have that reaction.
Rhianne
Oh, I did.
Fran
She keeps saying. I didn't have that reaction to it.
Casey
I thought it looked bigger on tv.
Rhianne
Yes.
Fran
I thought it looked exactly how it looked on TV to me in real.
Rhianne
Life, walking around it. I thought, like. Because when you watch the show, you think, oh, these. These people are talking over here. These people are talking over here. They're miles away from each. They can't hear each other. They're miles away from each other. Like, you're watching it on tv, they seem so far, but when you're there, I'm like, so wait, they're right there. How they could hear everything I'm saying. Like, it feels. It's much more. It's much more intimate than you realize.
Casey
Yeah. Yeah.
Rhianne
That there's, like, way more. Less areas to.
Casey
To go to, especially the bedroom. Like, you're all literally, like, next to each other.
Fran
Well, that's all very close.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Now, you said you got paid for Love Island Games, but you said you're not going on again. But now what if they offer more money for you to go back on again?
Casey
They wouldn't.
Fran
We're capped out of money for him.
Casey
Yeah. No, with the All Stars, it's like a. It's like a set sort of thing. So no one goes more than other people.
Fran
Right. Yeah.
Casey
Just to, like, make it as fair as possible. So, yeah, I. I wouldn't do again, but I feel like with the uk. Yeah, yeah, obviously, I love it. I've been full time.
Noah
Yeah.
Casey
With the UK one, I feel like I've done it three times. I won the last one. I feel like I've completed enough. I can't go back.
Rhianne
Yeah, no, that's fair.
Tom
Like, we need to find him a wife. Yeah, that's what we need.
Casey
Yeah. I think she might be in New York as well. I met so many nice girls this weekend.
Fran
Were you like, oh, my God, I need to be here?
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. And Tom, were you like, Enough.
Casey
Yeah. No.
Tom
But then when we were coming, he was like, damn, I didn't find my wife. Yeah, there's still time.
Rhianne
Yeah, there is.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Maybe you didn't.
Noah
You didn't.
Fran
Yeah, you don't know.
Rhianne
Maybe you did.
Casey
I got some numbers.
Rhianne
Well, we had a. I was saying before we started, we had like such a nice weekend here too. I saw on, on Social, you guys, like, I'm like, oh, they're doing the rooftop parties. They're doing everything. Like, this is like the perfect New York fall weekend where makes you fall in love.
Casey
We met Bradley Cooper.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Fran
Yes.
Rhianne
We wanted to ask about this. I heard that. We saw the video.
Casey
Oh, did you?
Rhianne
Yes.
Casey
Crazy.
Rhianne
It, like came up in my for you page, honestly. And it was like a random account that wasn't even like your account was.
Casey
Some other account posted like a tick tock about it.
Rhianne
Yeah, that was like, yeah, that, that and Bradley Cooper watched the show.
Casey
Yeah. So we were walking down the street and I said, you, like, freaked out. I said to Tom, that's Bradley Coop. He was like, yeah, all right. Well, I just kind of was like, no, no, that's Bradley Cooper. I was get a picture with him. Like, I love Bradley Cooper.
Fran
You're in New York.
Casey
Yeah, like, why not? And last time I was here, I met Ryan Reynolds. So I was like, this is like, sick. Like, two of the greatest actors ever. Like, we need to do this. So I've run back and be like, bradley, really sorry, could I get a picture? He was like, yeah, of course. He was with his daughter. And I was waiting for Tom to come over, took it. And I was like, really big fan from London. He was like, ah, lovely to meet you. And then he went, wait, Love Island. He was like, I loved you on the show.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Casey
He was like, you won it. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, my God.
Tom
His eyes, like, lit up.
Casey
I was like, nice to meet you. I was like, yeah. And Tom won the season before.
Tom
He was like, he didn't have a clue. I was like, yeah, whatever.
Unknown Rapper 1
Yeah.
Casey
But he was like, I absolutely love you. Like, you're great. You're jokes. I was like, oh, thanks.
Rhianne
Oh, my God, that's so funny.
Fran
How did you initially approach him? Like, did you ask for a picture?
Tom
He just literally, like, run up, there's no hesitation.
Fran
But what did you say before you asked for a picture? Or did you just say, can I get a picture?
Casey
I just said, hi, mate, big fan. Do you mind if we get a picnic?
Rhianne
I think that's, I mean, One. It's so funny because that's brave, you know, because, like, it is for us.
Fran
I think if we saw Bradley Cooper, we wouldn't. I don't know if I'd go up to him really. Like, I don't know if I would be like, Bradley Cooper. Can I catch everything?
Rhianne
I have seen Bradley Cooper.
Fran
Have you gone up to him and asked for a picture? No, Exactly.
Casey
And then I was like, oh, you from here? He was like, I literally there and I pointed to the building. Yeah, yeah.
Fran
But then I would just be so nervous that he would be like, like, no.
Casey
But I didn't want to take up his time. So we sort of was like, nice bit. But then like, when he said about Love island, then we started chatting to him and he was actually lovely. He was really such a nice bloke.
Rhianne
We were. We were joking about it before because I would. It was like, oh, Bradley Cooper watching Love Island. I was like, bradley Cooper dates Gigi Hadid. And I bet Gigi Hadid watches Love Island. You know, like, it's like every. Every feel like every young person watches it.
Fran
Has that been the craziest celebrity interaction that's watched Love island or have you ever.
Casey
100%. Yeah, yeah. We. We know of, like, people and a listers that watch it, but haven't met them. Like, we know, like, Margot Robbie's like a huge fan, but never bumped into her.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Casey
Annoying.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Tom
I really met any, like, mad people who watch.
Casey
No. Yeah.
Fran
Any DMS from people?
Casey
Jason Derulo, Jason Driller, DM me last night, the night before that was something wrong. That was a cliff of me on the All Stars. Because he came in the villa and performed.
Rhianne
Yes.
Casey
And then I was like, oh, my God, it's Jason Derulo. And like screamed and it got like.
Tom
I love Jason Viral.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
And then he was like, we should recreate this. He was like, I'm in the. I'm coming to the O2 soon or something.
Rhianne
He loves TikTok. Does it?
Casey
Yes.
Rhianne
So I bet you they're all over there. Like, we gotta get tick tock. Like, this makes sense to do something on TikTok. I feel like he's always doing stuff.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
I feel like year, like a couple years ago though, it was like Jason. It was like resurgence. Like everyone was.
Rhianne
Yeah, I'm sure he's still doing it though. But yeah, there I. I will say it is one of the shows that I think even when we have guests come in and they're promoting, you know, their. Their movie, their TV show, whatever and if we ask them, like, oh, you guys watch reality TV or whatever, they're always say, love Island.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
And most Americans. And it's changed now because the last couple seasons of us have been so huge.
Tom
Yeah, they've been huge.
Casey
But they love the uk.
Rhianne
Love the uk.
Fran
Like, that's where we started.
Rhianne
And people think they, like, turn. They're like, UK only, though.
Fran
Yeah.
Casey
Like, me and Tom walking around New York. We've been recognized here more than we would walking around London.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Really?
Rhianne
I'm not surprised by that at all.
Fran
But it's so big in London too, though.
Casey
It is, but they're more like.
Fran
Yeah, it's normal to see people are more friendly here.
Casey
I. Yeah, well, I saw people are so friendly here. We've loved it.
Tom
Whereas London is.
Casey
Yeah. And we've had a couple. We've had a couple of crazy fan interactions here this weekend.
Fran
What was the craziest?
Casey
Oh, my God. That was this guy.
Tom
Oh, bless them. They were so nice.
Casey
No, they were lovely. Yeah. Like, if you're listening. But it was crazy. Like, we were on Brooklyn Bridge and we were just posting on our Snapchats and stuff, just like, openly. And we see these two girls and they're like, oh, like, Casey, Tom, lovely to meet you. Can we get a picture? Chatted to them for a bit. We're like, oh, you're walking over Brooklyn Bridge. They're like, no, we've had your Snapchat notifications on the whole day and we were coming to find you. I was like, oh, my God. Like, yeah. Is that a bit dangerous?
Rhianne
Yeah, it is. You don't realize that people do that until it happens. And you're like, oh, the people actually do this.
Tom
Yeah, but normally I always post when I've been somewhere. I never post.
Fran
And part of you in life.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
This is really cool. You're like, oh, my God, I made it. This is so cool. And then the other part of you is like, this is a little dangerous. Yeah, yeah. It's a. It's a little mixed. But they're always very know.
Tom
Yeah, they're really nice.
Casey
Every person we met has been so nice.
Fran
Yeah, I saw. This was my experience, right? Like, going to London. I saw Molly Mae in a Zara and I was like, oh, my God.
Casey
What are the chances, right?
Fran
Like, what are the chances? But nobody was bothering her. Nobody was talking to her or anything. So I feel like that's like kind of what you're saying here.
Tom
Like when you're in London, London's like that. I feel like the More you go up north, people probably interact with you more. I feel like London, they're not that bothered, are they?
Casey
No. Because there's so many tourists in London, especially like central London. So.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
It's kind of the same thing with New York, though. It's that I think a lot of even just New Yorkers and Londoners are probably the same. Or it's like they see famous people and they're like, oh, we just either leave them alone. Or it's like with U. S. Reality stars, if we saw them on the street, we'd be like, oh, that's so and so from this show.
Fran
But anyone from UK when you guys.
Rhianne
Are here, it's like, holy shit. They're ever here.
Casey
Because it's not normal for them. Them to see us. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Tom
People have just been like, what are you two doing in New York?
Fran
I felt the same. Isn't that a funny question? When they're like, what are you doing here? And you're like, why travel too?
Casey
I think every single person said that to us. What you doing last holiday last weekend?
Fran
Yeah. Are you wanting to do more New York weekends now that you spent this year?
Tom
He wants to move here.
Noah
I think.
Casey
I'd love to see.
Rhianne
There you go. I think this is, you know, we have some friends that are like, you think, you know, you haven't found your person in New York, but I feel like maybe, maybe London is the place you need to go. Maybe it's the opposite for you. You gotta come. You gotta come here.
Fran
It's the opposite for you.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
You know, we've been telling some of our girlfriends to head to London and go find a guy there.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. And now you're like, I need to come here.
Casey
Yeah. 100%.
Fran
Yeah. What about LA? Because you came from there first.
Casey
I wasn't massive fan of la. Like, I liked it and I liked. Liked having a week there, but I couldn't live there. I think everything. Everything's so spaced out. And I love walking everywhere. You can't walk anywhere in la. Like, oh, really? So much traffic.
Rhianne
No, you can't walk anywhere. You have to literally drive everywhere.
Casey
And I think the girls are so much better in New York.
Fran
I feel like this podcast has just become like, how do we find Casey a girlfriend? It's like we're just, like, talking it through.
Tom
Like, I've tried everything, but, yeah, just. You guys know her friends are all, like, married, all with kids, right?
Casey
Yeah. Text me the day before Tom came out. Being like, hate to do this because my Fiance is coming to join you, but the Victoria's Secret fashion show is happening tonight, so there'll be a lot of models out, so you should go. Go and try and find one of them.
Fran
Pick up a Victoria's Secret model.
Rhianne
You can bring Tom, put a blindfold on for you.
Casey
Maybe you should go.
Rhianne
No, that is. That's funny. I. You guys. So you were here with Kendall, and I feel like Kendall knows everybody. Take you into everything. Like, I'm sure. I know Kendall doesn't even live in New York, but I'm sure he probably showed you guys a great time.
Casey
Yeah. We met with Kayla, who's from New York as well, so we were hanging out with her for a little bit, but Kendall knew everyone. Yeah, yeah. Any restaurant we went into, he's like, hey, what's going on?
Rhianne
Yeah, that's.
Fran
Doesn't surprise me. Kendall's social media. I'm like, does he ever get tired? Oh, my God. Like, do these people ever just, like, sit on the couch and not do anything?
Tom
This guy has the maddest social battery I've ever seen in my life.
Casey
It's crazy.
Rhianne
Did you know you guys were both gonna go on Love island games?
Noah
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah, yeah. We went into Ibiza together a couple of months before the show, and I was like, are you going on? He was like, I think so. I was like, okay, let's do it.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
So there was a little.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Beforehand.
Casey
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhianne
Have you guys gotten to hang? Like, when you were in la, did the cast hang out all together a little or.
Casey
Yeah, bit. They were always hanging out together. All the cast, they were, like, going out clubbing, like, every single night together, like, literally everyone. I think me and Kendall were, like, the only ones who didn't really get involved as much. Like, we just didn't. I just didn't get invited.
Fran
I was say, did they not get invited?
Rhianne
They were like, we got. Those two are going to make us.
Fran
Do tik toks the whole time. Do that Maui Wowie Tik tok. For the fifth time.
Casey
I still haven't done it.
Fran
I'm shocked because if you were with Kendall all weekend, I mean, I've seen him do it. I feel like six times already. We'd sit down. You gotta go do it on the street before you leave.
Casey
We've seen people, like, in New York just, like, hanging.
Fran
Are you afraid you can't do it?
Casey
No, I can.
Fran
Yeah, of course I can do it.
Tom
I promise.
Rhianne
Yeah, I can do it. I can do it. Okay. Tom, I want to ask you about the Proposal.
Tom
Go for it.
Rhianne
Because it was absolutely gorgeous. I know everyone was freaking out. I mean, location, ring, everything. Stunning. What was your planning process like, and were you able to keep it a secret or did she have an idea it was coming?
Tom
Notice I kept it fully secret. And normally she knows something before I've even done it. Like, she's like that. But no, I've been in the planning for, like, a good six, seven months. Had the ring, kept it actually. Her best friend's house, the ring. So I didn't have it at hours just because I thought she might, like, rummage through stuff and you never know.
Rhianne
Yeah, smart.
Tom
And then I had, like, about 12 people in a WhatsApp group in Dubai, like, trying to organize stuff and everything. She was going for her hair. I was getting people to the hotel to organize stuff. And, yeah, I think I smashed it. So I was proud of my. I was gonna say I. Pat on the back.
Fran
Yeah.
Tom
But no, thankfully she. She didn't find out anything or kept it top secret.
Rhianne
Wow, that's amazing. So she really had no idea?
Tom
No idea.
Fran
You definitely crushed it. And I think, you know, everyone was so excited to be able to see a glimpse of it online.
Tom
For sure.
Rhianne
Yeah. The ring was, like, really cool and unique. Did you do that yourself or you have some help?
Tom
I welded it.
Rhianne
Yep, yep, yep.
Tom
No. So obviously I was speaking to her best friend a lot, and I was like, come on, what. What does she like? So she'd like. Obviously girls speak about that stuff. Yeah, best friends, of course. So I had an inkling, but then I put a twist on the ring, like. But I kind of liked as well. And what I. I thought she might like. So, yeah, there was a bit of me in there as well, but I knew what she wanted, so.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Tom
And then I had to get the ring size and then all that. But no, it was. Everything just went so perfectly. So I was really happy.
Rhianne
That's amazing. How's wedding planning started?
Tom
I think wedding planning started when I came out the villa with, you know.
Noah
What girls are like.
Tom
Yeah. Do you know what I mean? But no, it started. We're obviously trying to sell our house and move at the minute as well. So we've got that and the wedding. So it's a lot, but it's all good stuff. So. But yeah, we're definitely thinking abroad somewhere, I think.
Fran
Oh, that's very exciting. I was gonna ask that, but then you never know. You know what I mean? You don't want to, like, pry and be like, oh, where is it gonna be? Yeah, that's very cool.
Tom
Yeah, we've seen a few different spots.
Rhianne
And you propose in Dubai. Do you guys, you guys love going?
Tom
That's my favorite place in the world. Have you ever been?
Rhianne
No, no. I, I mean, I've been to the airport.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Rhianne
I had a connecting flight. Did not leave the airport. No, no. I went to Cape Town on my honeymoon. So we flew to Dubai and then Dubai, Cape Town. But I've had a bunch of friends now stop in Dubai on their, on their. You know, honeymoons are big trips, but it's. I feel like we don't know a lot of people that go to Dubai often, but it seems like in the uk, especially for young people, it's really a popular spot. What's, what's so, what's so great about it?
Tom
I think just like number one for me is safety. Like, like Molly could be walking the street at 12 at night and she's, she's fine. Whereas in the UK, it's the complete opposite. There's just like, there's some. I should get commission for selling flights.
Fran
Clean.
Tom
It's just clean. But you love it as well.
Casey
Yeah, it's, it's so great. I mean the weather is unbelievable. Like, the restaurants are so nice, the hotels are so nice, the beaches, the beach clubs.
Tom
Yeah, I could, I can't fault it.
Casey
Yeah.
Tom
There's anything wrong with it. You need to go. Definitely.
Rhianne
Yeah. Because I feel like especially. I don't know if it's like even more so a Love island thing too, but I feel like especially after watching a season of Love island uk, you get to meet all these people and then the season ends and you follow them all on social media and like, next thing you know that everyone's on different trips to Dubai.
Fran

Fran
Soccer, yeah, yeah.
Tom
And I still play that now as well.
Casey
Yeah, I was in sales. I worked in recruitment. And then.
Rhianne
What a switch. Yeah, yeah, what a switch.
Casey
And then I. I was just in a bar in London, just got approached by a girl.
Rhianne
Really?
Casey
Yeah. Chatting her up a little bit. And then the next day she was like, can we jump on a call about this dating show? I was like scouting you. Yeah.
Rhianne
Wow, that's so interesting. I feel like I've never heard about an in person scout. Yeah, I feel it's there. Oh, people are always like, oh, I got a dm.
Tom
They do that a lot, right?
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Really?
Casey
Yeah, they've got bars.
Fran
Yeah.
Casey
In like the hot spots of like people in their like 20s.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
Right, right, right.
Casey
And they'll go and it. I think that's the best thing to do because like on an interview or dm, like you don't know what they're like or you don't know how they're trying to be someone else or.
Fran
Right. So she was talking to you and he.
Casey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhianne
That is. What did. Was yours a dm?
Tom
Mine was a dm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I remember when I first met Kiss, like in the villa, I didn't really like him too. I couldn't really.
Fran
Yeah.
Tom
I just thought he was a bit irritating. But now he's my best friend.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. It's funny how that works out. How did you feel about Tom?
Tom
He's probably in love with me or something.
Casey
I just thought it was this like weird northern blood.
Tom
No, you didn't. But me and him are polar opposites. Like, I think that's why we get on so much.
Casey
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom
Polar opposites.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
How.
Rhianne
How old were you guys when you, when you did your. The first. Your first season?
Casey
26.
Tom
I was 23.
Fran
Okay.
Tom
Yeah.
Rhianne
So that's why I feel like it's really. Can be so people's experiences can be so different, I think depending on, on how old they are. It's like 23 is young.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
I think to, you know, and whatever. Obviously multiple. Multiple shows, but in the span of only, what, a couple years?
Tom
Yeah, 26 now.
Rhianne
Yeah, yeah, yeah. From the first one, too.
Casey
I feel like I'd have lasted like two days if I went on when I was 20. Really? Yeah, I just felt like I'd have been too young, personally.
Fran
Yeah, I can stay really long next time, please.
Rhianne
Or there. Are there any other shows you would be interested in doing? I know, yeah.
Casey
I loved being on tv. Like, I think it's great. So I'd definitely do other shows. I'd love to do Traitors. Yeah, that'd be great.
Fran
That would be great.
Casey
Yeah. We have Strictly Come Dancing in the uk, which is like, same as. Yeah, that one. Yeah, I'd love to do that. Maybe even like any dance. No, yeah, exactly, exactly. So, yeah, I want to do more tv. Has.
Rhianne
Has Strictly become more popular? Like, Dancing with the Stars has been around for a really long time and I think Dancing the Stars came from Strictly for, like. I think Strictly came first and then we did. Yeah, I think so.
Casey
And then.
Rhianne
Days with the Stars sort of like, just was super popular with an older demographic and, you know, younger people weren't watching it. Now the last few years, it's like exploded again and it's huge on TikTok and everybody's watching it.
Casey
Is that because people like Alex Earl are on it?
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Last season, though, like, people got really interested with like, you know, the Bachelor.
Casey
Okay.
Fran
Oh, yeah, Joey, the Bachelor was on it last season. And then before that, Ariana Matic.
Casey
Yeah, you know. Oh, she did it.
Rhianne
Yeah, she was fantastic. But it's just like they. Now it's just being talked about so much and even on my own Tick tock, I see like a ton of clips from Strictly and I've never, like. I've never seen clips from it.
Tom
I think it's been big for ages. Strictly. Yeah, I think so.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
It's always.
Casey
Yeah, it's one of the biggest shows there is on in the uk for sure.
Rhianne
And now they're doing Traders, Celebs. Celeb.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Right.
Casey
Yeah. That looks so good. I haven't been able to watch it because I've been here, but the cast was.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
Strong. Like really strong.
Rhianne
So would you. Which would you prefer to do? The one in the UK or the one here?
Casey
Probably us.
Fran
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah, because probably chances are probably higher to get on because they've always had like a Love Islander uk. Yeah. And Ekin was on the one Before.
Fran
Yes. Ekan is so fun.
Casey
Yeah. Have you met her?
Fran
Yes, yes, yes. She's coming. And she was just on. Did you guys see that show Inside?
Casey
I haven't watched it, but I know she was on it. Yeah.
Fran
Hilarious.
Casey
Was she so funny. She's TV gold, though.
Fran
Yeah.
Tom
She just says it how it is.
Fran
Oh, she really is.
Noah
She was.
Casey
She knows. She knows what to do on reality tv. She's so good. Like, she was on my All Stars season, but she was. She was great.
Rhianne
Yeah, she does. She really. She is one of those people, and it's one of those people that you, like, don't get. Some people, it's like, when they do a lot of shows, you're like, oh, they're doing another show. No, I was like, I see.
Fran
Back on.
Rhianne
I was actually gonna put Casey in the same category where it's like, you like, watching them on reality tv. There's people that you want to see. Like, definitely. Sue has that where it's like, she. Every. If. If she signs up to do every reality show, I'll be like, great.
Fran
I'll watch show. I feel like people feel that way about you. They think you're very funny, so they just want to see you on tv. Yeah.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Do you think it's hard to now keep up with, like, your Tick Tock and everything? You feel like you gotta, like, stay on top of it.
Casey
Yeah. But I. I feel like it does come quite naturally. Like, I always think of, like, ideas and stuff, and I love doing TikTok. It's great. Yeah, you can actually. I feel like you can get your personality across a lot more on Tick Tock than you can Instagram.
Fran
Unless you were just big on Instagram reels.
Casey
Yes, true. Unless.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
You know.
Tom
Yeah.
Rhianne
Did you guys do, like, like, superlatives in. In school?
Casey
Like, what does that mean?
Rhianne
We have, like, in your years. That's not English. Never heard that in your yearbook. Like, you get most likely to or usually.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
Like.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
You know. Yeah.
Fran
Best dress.
Rhianne
Best dress. Best smile. Best laugh. Those. Those kinds of things.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Because I was gonna wonder if you guys did, like.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
You guys had that private school.
Casey
Yeah. Most likely to be on tv.
Tom
No, you didn't, bro.
Casey
Yes, I did.
Fran
Prove. I felt like you just made that up. Yeah.
Casey
I'll show you my year yearbook.
Noah
Prove it.
Fran
Didn't even know what superlatives was he. Most likely.
Casey
Well, we call it a yearbook.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
Rhianne
Let me just call it the yearbook.
Fran
That's true. It is a yearbook.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
We need the proof.
Casey
Yeah.
Tom
I don't believe.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
You know what I mean? Like, don't you think he would have posted that? Yeah.
Tom
100.
Amelia
Why?
Tom
It's something.
Casey
I think I maybe did post it a couple of years ago.
Tom
Yeah.
Fran
In high school.
Rhianne
He's like, I don't know if I'm.
Fran
Making this up now.
Tom
You've dug a hole now.
Casey
No, I haven't. I can show. Do you know what? When I get back to the UK tomorrow.
Rhianne
Yep.
Casey
I'm gonna go through, take. Take a picture and send it to you.
Tom
Yeah, fair enough.
Casey
I'll put it on my story the day this pod comes out.
Noah
Yes.
Rhianne
I'd be like, here, here it is.
Fran
I just googled it and it didn't come up. But the first article is love Islander flies out for fourth go at show despite Maya Jama banning him.
Rhianne
My God, Did Maya ban you or did she jok say stop?
Casey
You commented on one of my Instagram posts or Tik Toks being like, please, not again. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Rhianne
Well, you know, I think it. It is a. It is a running joke, but, you.
Fran
Know, I feel like. Lol. My guy. Enough.
Casey
Yeah, that was it.
Fran
That was. Yeah.
Casey
My guy.
Tom
My guy.
Fran
She hit you with a my guy. Have you guys seen, like, article like, okay, this is from the sun, right? So whenever we read something from the sun, we're always like, oh, how true can that be? Is that how you guys feel about the Sun?
Tom
I feel like uk. UK press.
Casey
I don't know.
Noah
The.
Rhianne
It's a lot of.
Tom
A lot of. It's like clickbait, I think.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Especially I feel like with the sun too.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Because we deal. We do, you know, on the show, we obviously. We cover pop culture topics. And, like, even when we're, like, researching things, it's always a very. Like, it'd be a headline from a new source, and then the next one is like the Daily Mail headline. And the Daily Mail one is always like, nuts. You're always like, wait a sec, is.
Casey
That the same as, like, TMZ here?
Fran
Yeah, except TMZ is pretty accurate. Yeah. Like, TMZ doesn't really. They've pro. They've been wrong once or twice. It's for sure a big deal. Right? Like, people are like, tmz, massively big on, like, Breaking. Right? But because most of the time, the things that they report are right when they do fuck up.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
It's like, oh, my God, I can't believe TMZ posted that. Like, that's a major, major fuck up.
Rhianne
What did you guys feel about, like, coming off the show and kind of being in. In more and more of the. Of the tabloids, like, did you ever pay attention to it at all? Or was it like.
Tom
I think sometimes what you laughing at? I know exactly what he's laughing at.
Casey
So we went to Ibiza. We went to Ibiza, and it's my favorite story that ever came out, like, of all time. I need to come. We went on a. Like a boat.
Fran
Before you continue the story, can I ask.
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
You say Ibiza, right?
Casey
Yeah.
Fran
Would it be just like such a major, you know, faux pas, I guess you would call it if we were to say Ibiza?
Casey
No, that's normal.
Fran
Yeah, it's normal.
Casey
Yeah. Yeah, we know. We know Americans call it that as well.
Fran
When I went to Ibiza, I was. Was getting my hair done and all of the people in the shop were making fun of somebody who came in and called it Ibiza.
Tom
Oh, really?
Fran
And they were like, oh, my God, Classic Ibiza. And I'm sitting there in my head, I'm like, oh, my God, should I be calling it Ibiza? You know, it's like a. You get nervous. You don't want to say the wrong thing.
Noah
No, no.
Fran
But it just flies off naturally.
Casey
Yeah, yeah. Ibiza. Ibiza.
Fran
Same thing.
Tom
This is when I was single.
Casey
All right, we know you weren't with Molly. This is like. This is when we first came off the show, first time out, and we went to this beach club and we invited all these girls to come on this boat with us the next day. And we just like, we're mind our own business on this boat in the middle of the ocean, like right in the middle, like so far out of shore. And then the next day we wake up to this article and it's a paparazzi on the cliff and Tom's got toe tally.
Fran
Oh, wow. Can I read? It says, oh, my God. It's a play on. Totally loves it. Love island star Tom Clare sucks Mystery Girls toes in Ibiza after split from Sammy on holiday with co star Casey.
Rhianne
Wow.
Fran
Yeah, you had the full.
Tom
It wasn't my proudest moment.
Rhianne
The longest headlines ever.
Fran
Multiple.
Rhianne
Oh, they're always so long. The headlines are always so long.
Casey
Oh, my God.
Rhianne
And very descriptive, descriptive words. Yeah, that is so.
Fran
And how did you. Were you like, super hungover waking up to that article and you're like, oh.
Tom
No, you're in Ibiza Holiday man.
Casey
And he had me giggling.
Fran
Yeah. The thing is, you're an Ibiza, though, so it flies like. Yeah, I had A couple toes in my mouth. But we were in Ibiza.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Casey
You know, I just can't believe they caught that one.
Tom
He definitely got a pair eyes, that photographer.
Casey
Oh, my God. Yeah. He must.
Tom
He got easy at the top.
Casey
He must have taken it.
Rhianne
How can you tell?
Fran
Like, could you. When you were on that boat, you didn't notice the paparazzi?
Casey
No, because they got that extra zoom.
Fran
You don't even know where they're coming from.
Casey
Yeah. Crazy.
Fran
See that?
Rhianne
It's like. That's what I'm saying. That's so crazy to me, especially, like you just all the these stories and one picture can probably. I feel like one picture sometimes in the US is like, there's a couple articles, then it dies and it goes by pretty quickly. I feel like sometimes I see a Daily Mail article, like, like 18 different articles about the same picture. It's like kind of like a slight change of the story, but it's all pretty much the same. So it's like that. That's a lot. You never know what those hidden lenses.
Noah
No.
Rhianne
Where they are.
Fran
You could be sucking somebody's toe in a. Bees.
Tom
Who would do that?
Casey
It's A.I. now it's fine.
Tom
What's that?
Casey
You can just say it's AI.
Tom
They say I. Yeah, that's true. Wasn't me, though.
Fran
Yeah, we know that. We know that one's not AI. But now you know, Casey, if you're ever on holiday.
Rhianne
That was one of the jokes that one of the guys on. On UK had said when he Cat Cash was. When he cried, he was like, that was AI. That wasn't me crying. That was funny. You guys, you don't. Do you keep up with the show at all?
Casey
Like, we have been watching.
Tom
I watched.
Rhianne
What did you think of them putting an American girl on the show, Tony?
Tom
Yeah, she was good. She was really.
Fran
And she won it.
Rhianne
And she won.
Casey
It. And she won it. Yeah.
Fran
At first we were kind of judgmental about it.
Rhianne
I switched my tune big time. I was like.
Fran
I don't watch UK from America. We want to escape the Americans. And then the more the season went on, we were like, you know what?
Casey
She came up.
Rhianne
Yeah, she did.
Fran
And it was so funny because it was interesting to see everybody want to talk to her because she was from America, where it's like opposite. When somebody comes in on the U.S. like season six, when Liv came in from Australia, everyone's like, oh, this Australian girl is here.
Casey
Because they've had a few UK people on the USA one.
Rhianne
Yeah, they do.
Fran
They've yeah, they brought a lot of traders.
Casey
The Miguel.
Fran
Miguel. Yeah.
Tom
Oh, yeah, we met him.
Casey
Yeah. Dallas.
Rhianne
Was on Traders.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Originally.
Fran
And then.
Casey
Oh, really?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhianne
Brought a ton.
Fran
Yeah, too.
Rhianne
It's like they always, I think like the U.S. now, they're so huge. But before they did try and like they brought in from other people to give it a little amp. Lucinda did Love Island, Australia.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Yeah. Which was like, I remember, like watching Australia. I watched like all of them. Not all of them because I didn't even realize when they do Love island games, I'm like, Love Island Netherlands.
Fran
Or Love Island Malta.
Rhianne
Malta, yeah. They do. They always like picking someone from Love Island, France. How long were you actually, like, it seemed like a quick stint you had on the show.
Casey
I was there. Yeah. Five, six days.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
It was crazy.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
But did they have you waiting for a while because you came in later?
Casey
Yeah, I was waiting for a little bit.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Casey
I. But I came later than everyone else because I was in Sydney. So I came like maybe a couple weeks after everyone else. So I wasn't waiting as long as other people were, but I'm still waiting a little bit of time.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Did you get. Yeah. Did you get to enjoy Fiji at all?
Casey
Not really.
Noah
Yeah.
Casey
No.
Tom
You don't really go to me every day.
Casey
I still have my phone, which was good.
Fran
Yeah.
Casey
But yeah, I didn't really get to see much of. Much of the island.
Fran
How much time do you guys spend together even though you don't live that.
Tom
Close at the minute? Probably not much. But we all. We speak every day.
Casey
We literally face on every single day.
Fran
Yeah. Gotta catch up. Yeah, of course.
Casey
Yeah. But yeah, because we don't live together anymore because we moved in together after showing. But then Tom obviously moved back up up with Molly, so we don't see each other as much as we would obviously like to, but we're both so busy. Like.
Tom
But like stuff like this, like New York.
Casey
Yeah. Yeah. We go on holiday with each other at least once a year.
Rhianne
That's nice.
Fran
It is actually really nice.
Casey
Yeah.
Rhianne
Make time for each other. It is.
Noah
I know.
Rhianne
That is really nice.
Fran
All right, we have one last question. Frances, she has one last question.
Rhianne
Is presented by Armani Zarmani.
Noah
Beauty.
Rhianne
We kind of talked about it a little bit, but now that you have opposite kind of experiences. Sounds crazy. I guess dating wise.
Fran
Sorry. You won the show and got engaged. You won the show, broke up.
Rhianne
What sharing your dating life on. On social media is like for each of you and because, you know, people love seeing you and Molly Together, so they want all that, that content. And then I guess like if you start dating someone, it's like, do you keep it more hush hush to see? Like how do you kind of balance the dating and the social media?
Tom
Yeah, we keep a lot of stuff private, but we also share what we want to share as well. So we literally have the best of both worlds because we get people followed us because they love our journey, they love us growing together and showing the engagement and stuff like that. People of course want to see it, so we'll share that. But yeah, of course we keep a lot of stuff private and just us too as well.
Fran
I feel like you guys do a great job at that. It's like you can see a little bit of your life but. But obviously you're together all the time, so we're not seeing. Keep the private moments private while also giving the fans just a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
Rhianne
Casey, what do you think going forward? Like if you find someone, you think you'll keep it private?
Casey
I think it depends on what they want to do. Yeah, I think like if they're happy to get involved in my tiktoks.
Fran
Say we're see this on TikTok.
Rhianne
Well, it depends. Maybe you fall in love and she's like, I don't want to be in your TikTok.
Casey
Yeah. Or maybe she might, might even be like in the same industry. Like, I don't, I don't know. Do you want that? I don't think she will be.
Noah
No.
Casey
I think I don't want to date an influencer now.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran
Right.
Casey
Because it hasn't worked in the past. I think it's time to switch up.
Fran
Well, we'll.
Rhianne
You'll come to New York and.
Fran
Yeah. Find out if anybody you met in New York.
Rhianne
Yeah, right. Exactly. Exactly. Well, guys, thank you so much for jumping in and joining us in the studio. This was a ton of fun. We love following along.

Rhianne
I would love to see you on Traders.
Fran
Let's tell the agents to work on it.
Tom
Yeah.
Rhianne
I think maybe you and Kendall need to like fight it out because I bet you Kendall wants to go on Traders.
Casey
Yeah, yeah, he does. He, yeah, he wants to be like a presenter, I think. Yeah. Kendall.
Rhianne
Yeah, he does want to do like hosting stuff.
Casey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Let's be real. He wants to go on Traders.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Fran

Amelia
Thank you. Thanks for having us.
Rhianne
Amazing. We're going to jump into it. It's 15 questions. If you get it right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points. Points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's gonna give us a movie. We're gonna guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest will go first, and we all get our own. Individual guests will alternate between teams for guesses. So, Noah, what is today's movie?

Fran
Good guess. Good guess. I was gonna guess 76. I'm still gonna guess 76.
Rhianne
Yeah, go for it.
Fran
76. Trust your gut.
Amelia
Feel like I'll go like 70. 62. A little bit lower strategy.
Rhianne
I'm gonna say 49.
Noah
76. Closest. 95.
Fran
Whoa. Oh. All I had to do was go one up. Yeah, it's a good movie. That's a high score.
Noah
Also way ahead of its time. Looking back now, like so.
Rhianne
Yeah, right.
Fran
Falling in love with it.
Noah
I haven't rewatched it in, like, 10.
Fran
Years, but, yeah, it probably be even more creepy.
Amelia
I was gonna say hit's a little different now.
Rhianne
Definitely.
Amelia
Yeah, for sure.
Noah
Okay, so question to ran Fran shout out April from Irvine, California, in the 1999 movie. She's all that. What was the bet between Zach and Dean?

Final answer correct. Am I a bet? Am I a fucking bet? Classic.
Noah
All right, question number two. It's one. Nothing. Ran Fran, shout out Rachel from Chaska, Minnesota. What two people co hosted Dancing with Osiris from seasons 18 to 28?

Fran
Exactly.
Amelia
Yes.
Fran
Okay.
Amelia
Final answer correct.
Fran
Boom.
Amelia
Amelia, we got our one.
Fran
That's all anybody's ever hoping for is just to get one.
Noah
I've seen some people, like, campaigning for Aaron Andrews to come back. Have you seen that?
Rhianne
Tom and Aaron were a fantastic duo. They, you know, they. Their time got. Their time was cut short if you ask me.
Noah
They must be like, damn, we really missed. Missed this wave.
Fran
No, it was. It was popular when they were hosting.
Rhianne
It was. It was. But I mean, they made the mistake of. It was the Tyra move after that.
Amelia
Yeah, I was gonna say it was Tyra. That was.
Noah
All right. Tied up at one. Question number three. Insta Reenfranchetta. Melissa from Naples, Florida. What actress was in all three of these movies? Mean Girls. The original Inside Out 2. Blades of Glory.
Fran
Tina Fey.
Rhianne

Fran
No, Amy Poehler and Inside Out. Amy Poehler's in Inside out, but it's.
Rhianne
Amy Poehler and Blades of Glory.
Fran
Yes, right. It's Amy Poehler, not Amy.
Rhianne
Yeah, I think it's Amy Poehler.
Fran
All right, Amy Poehler. Final answer correct.
Noah
Do you know what her character is inside out to?
Rhianne
Well, she's the main girl.
Noah
Oh, she's the main. I've never seen it.
Amelia
She's Joy, right?
Rhianne
She's Joy.
Fran
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Rhianne
I think they just tried to throw us off by saying Inside out, too. Instead of Inside Inside Out, I was.
Noah
Like, oh, she was only in two.
Rhianne
No, yeah, no, she's in both. She's the star of both.
Noah
All right, two. One R&Fran, question number four to Aaron and Amelia. Shadow Ariana from New York City. Chris and Liam Hemsworth are famous actor siblings. They also have a lesser known brother. What is his name?
Amelia
Is it Luke? Yes. And you know why? Are you sure about that? No, I think. Yes, because I was thinking of five seconds of Summers, Luke and how their names are very similar, like their last names. So I was like, I. I think it's Luke. All right, we'll go with Luke.
Noah
Correct.
Fran
Yep. Nicely. Done.
Noah
He's the oldest, too.
Rhianne
Good old Luke Hemsworth.
Noah
I thought he was the youngest, but.
Rhianne
Now he's the old. Yeah. Oldest. I think Chris is the middle, right?
Noah
Is he?
Fran
Chris is the middle, yeah. He doesn't give middle.
Noah
He does not.
Rhianne
He does.
Noah
He's oldest.
Rhianne
Yeah.
Noah
All right, it's tied up at two. Question number five, and this is to reinfranch Sam from Iowa, name the movie based on this IMDb description. When the feud between the son of the American president and Britain's prince threatens to drive a wedge in US British relations, the two are forced into a staged truce that sparks something deeper.
