Since this is a late release on Wednesday, we'll get to the reason for that very soon. But, guys, how about that new song? How about that new song?

[Ria]

It's really, really fantastic. Ron and Jet Ski did an amazing job. I know we haven't loved what we.

[Noah]

Had going on before.

[Ria]

And Roan started doing a new series where he was taking other barstool shows and personalities and giving them theme songs. And we were like, please do. Please do our show. Please fix it. And he did. It was amazing.

[Fran]

Yeah, it really is amazing. I mean.

[Ria]

Hey, Trent.

[Fran]

Hello.

[Ria]

Should we intro Trent?

[Noah]

Yeah, Trent's here. Trent's here.

[Fran]

Thank you.

[Noah]

By the way, Trent's in studio. Which was huge because I texted Trent and was like, hey, do you want to come on the podcast on Wednesday and zoom in? And he was like, I'm actually going to be in the office. And I was like, whoa.

[Fran]

Yeah, it worked out. I'm randomly in New York City on a. On a random Wednesday, but I'm excited to be here. The intro is amazing. Shout out to Rhone, shout out to Jet Ski. They do incredible work. Every time a clip from Ron.com comes out, especially when it comes to the intro songs, it's a must watch because they really are that good.

[Noah]

Yeah. Honestly, so good. I was. We told Roan, we saw him passing last week. We're like, work, work on one for us. Maybe because Fran had seen people were commenting that he needed to make one for tricks in the office. And then he. Ron is so humble when it comes to this stuff. Because he was like, you know, if it sucks, like, it may suck, it may suck. And we're like, we know it's not gonna suck.

[Ria]

Like, it never sucks.

[Noah]

It never, ever suc. So shout out to Ronan Jeske because it's incredible. Little tidbits in there. The Noah Noah show. So little shout outs to Noah in there.

[Huda]

I like that it's in the intro because I'm like, you kind of can't get rid of me now.

[Noah]

Yeah, Now.

[Fran]

Were you worried about that?

[Huda]

Yeah. Always in the back of your mind.

[Fran]

It'S like, job security. I'm in the intro now.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Huda]

Like, they'd have to have him re record the intro and that's a whole thing.

[Fran]

It's like, roan, hey, we're getting rid of Noah.

[Huda]

Keep him around.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

I really like that. That's your first thought.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know the song still works without him.

[Huda]

No, but you'd have to have him rewrote. Record it and have to come back.

[Ria]

He still says. He just says no. You know, it's like, no people.

[Huda]

Yeah, right. Like right now we could get rid.

[Ria]

Of, you know, like, Trent didn't. Trent didn't pick up on the Noah line.

[Noah]

Neither did I Heard it.

[Ria]

So.

[Fran]

Yeah, that is true. It's a pun right now.

[Huda]

Well, everyone knows about it now.

[Ria]

Yeah, it's true.

[Noah]

We have made it very clear now. So it wouldn't work. It wouldn't work. But it is amazing. And now we got chicks. Chicks and even. And Jesse was like, do this at their live show.

[Ria]

Chicks.

[Fran]

They thought of everything. Yeah, everything.

[Noah]

Amazing, amazing stuff. Our episode is out late, as you can tell, obviously, because Charlie is on the episode today. You know, with the timing of when the islander gets sent home and then when we're able to do interviews, we couldn't Interview him until 7 o' clock Wednesday night Eastern time. So we figured, all right, instead of waiting until Friday to release that interview, we'll just delay the Wednesday episode. And there's no Love island episode tonight. Wednesday. So we're feeding you some Love island on a night that there is none. We're gonna do a full recap with Trent because. Huge news, everybody. This is major, major, major news. You guys know him as luggage guy Trent. This man has converted to a Love island watcher.

[Fran]

Yeah, I really have. And I. It took me a long time and I just sort of denied doing it. And you guys were always like, you have to watch Love Island. Like, it's such a good show. It's so interesting. Like, we can talk about it, blah, blah, blah. And I just never did it. And I. I wanted to keep my reality TV circle small just because I feel like if I start coloring outside of the lines in terms of the Bachelor universe, I'm just gonna get obsessed with all of it, and then that's gonna be my life. So I was nervous about that part of it. Ria, go ahead.

[Noah]

That's our life. I was just raising my hand like you were talking about us.

[Fran]

Well, but that's.

[Noah]

But, like, it seemed like you were talking about us.

[Fran]

No, but I'm saying that's good for, like, because you guys do a podcast a bunch of times a week and you get to talk about it. If I were to watch all the reality TV that exists and then I didn't really have an outlet for it on a week to week basis, I think I would go insane. So. But I still. I picked up on Love Island. Honestly, the reason why I started watching was because you guys invited Me to do the live show in Maine, which was awesome. We had such a good time. Shout out to. Oh, Gun. Quit that place. I really. I actually really like that place. Yeah, I do, too.

[Noah]

And make it an annual thing where we get. The four of us come back to it.

[Huda]

We FaceTime Noah Khan Every time.

[Fran]

Every single. He's like, all right. Year three, he's like, I can't do this anymore. And I honestly, I hadn't been keeping up on the Bachelor, and I didn't know, like, what I was going to talk about with you guys. I was like, I need to have something to talk about. Otherwise, I'm going to get up on stage, and you guys are going to be like, what's new? And I'm going to say nothing. And I couldn't do. So I was like. So I was like, all right, I'm going to watch Love Island. And I think four episodes or five episodes had been up at that point. I watched them on a plane, which I put up on my Insta story the other day. That's a grind, watching Love island on a plane with other people. Lace and leather, a lot of ass shaking. It's pretty weird.

[Noah]

You need to. You need to get a private screen.

[Fran]

So a bunch of people told me that I got to get one of those.

[Noah]

Yeah, I actually hate when we bought private screenshots because it's like, now I can't see what you're doing.

[Fran]

Also, doesn't that sort of make you look like even more of a weirdo?

[Noah]

I know sometimes I'm like, why do you have, like, my sister has a private screen. And I'm like, why do you have that?

[Fran]

Are you.

[Noah]

Are you.

[Fran]

Are you in the CIA?

[Noah]

Yeah. Like, what. Why do you have that private screen? And honestly, we were home, like, a couple weeks ago. I think it was. What was it? I forget for something.

[Ria]

Father's Day?

[Noah]

No, I remember I didn't go home for Father's Day. Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day weekend?

[Ria]

Yeah, Memorial Day weekend.

[Noah]

And my brother and I were trying to look at something on my sister's phone, and my brother was like, I can't see it. And I was like, what do you mean? I'm right next to you.

[Ria]

Look.

[Noah]

He's like, I can't. You have to face it. And I'm like, what's going on? And then in that moment, we realized she had a private screen. And we were like, what the hell do you have this for?

[Fran]

So that's what I'm worried about.

[Noah]

So.

[Fran]

But I'll probably.

[Noah]

So I would be judging you hard.

[Fran]

I know, but I think it's probably better to get one and have people be like, what's that guy looking at? As opposed to the guy next to me on a plane looking over and Alondria and all these people are just shaking ass everywhere. So, long story short, I started watching this to have something to talk about in Maine, and wouldn't you know it, I just became obsessed with it immediately, and now I can't stop watching the episodes as soon as they come out. Rhea and I were texting last night. I was flying from Omaha to New York, and the WI fi didn't work. Yeah. And. And I just didn't have WI fi, and I couldn't watch it, and it was driving me insane. So I'm all in on Love Island. I'm fully in.

[Noah]

Yeah. Trent, we've now. I've now seen you freak out twice about no wifi in a very short amount of time. Because in Maine, we talked about. About the no WI fi situation, but that was because of Noah Khan. Was it partially like, when you were, like, completely.

[Huda]

When you were, like, pacing around in the parking lot? That was, like, two hours before the show.

[Fran]

Well, there's two things. One, I wanted to be able to FaceTime Noah Khan, and two, I am fully addicted to the Internet.

[Huda]

That's what I thought it was.

[Fran]

I mean, that's. Yeah, that's.

[Huda]

I'd be the same way.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean, I've been. We've been. I mean, everybody's addicted to the Internet now, but it's also part of our job. So anytime I don't have it, I'm always thinking, like, something's going on that I can't respond to or figure out.

[Noah]

So Trent thinks Dave is calling him any single time. He loses.

[Fran]

Every time my signal drops out, I'm like, well, Dave's calling me right now. He's calling me.

[Noah]

And I sadly, have that same thing. I got a lymphatic drainage massage earlier today, and I was off my phone for, like, an hour, tops. The whole time, I'm like, could. Am I missing something? Could I be getting contacted right now about something? 100%. The fear is still in you? A little bit, yeah.

[Fran]

A lot of it, yeah.

[Ria]

Trent, can you explain? Because we kind of tried to, but now that we have you here, it makes a lot more sense for you to do it. On where the relationship with Noah Khan even came from.

[Fran]

Yeah, it kind of came out of the blue. So a couple years ago, he DMed me and was like, hey, man, celebrity no, it. Which. It was stunning. I think I had maybe followed him because, well, he had been following me. And I was like. I was starting to get into his music, and I was like, oh, nice. I'll give this guy a follow. And he DM'd me and was like, hey, man, I'm starting to get into golf. I love your breaking 100 videos. I love your breaking 90 videos. I. I just. I'm a huge fan of him. I was like, man, I'm a huge fan of your music. Like, this is crazy that we're messaging back and forth and we just sort of kept that relationship. He came to Madison Square Garden a few months after that, and I was living in New York City, and I was like, dude, if I could get tickets to this show, that would be incredible. And he was like, yeah, for sure. I'll give you. It was me and Frankie and Marina, who also works at Barstool, and we all went to the nocon show and met him after afterwards in the green room. That was the first time we met in person.

[Noah]

And you're like Penthouse, right?

[Fran]

We were pen pals for a few months there.

[Huda]

And then picturing, like a big moment where they see each other, like, down the hall.

[Fran]

Like, it was emotional. You know, I had tears streaming down my face. And then we met and we stayed in contact, and then he was again in New York for something, and him and I went golfing with Frankie and his buddy, and we just kept that relationship going. I mean, we don't see each other that often, but we do text and, you know, the Masters is going on. He put out a Masters theme song. I was texting him about that, and he's. He's really cool and, yeah, like a very normal and down to earth guy. So when we were doing. When you guys are doing the show in Maine, another thing, I was like, I need to bring something to this show. I've got Love island opinions, but if I can get Noah KHAN On a FaceTime, I think that would be amazing. So I texted him earlier in the day and was like, if you're around, it would be awesome if I could FaceTime you from this live show in Maine. I was like, if you're busy, that's fine. If you just don't want to do it, that's totally fine. And he was like, I'll do it. Absolutely. And then, yeah, we FaceTime during the show, he picked up and it worked out.

[Noah]

Wow. I mean, it was the most you ever brought to the show, ever.

[Fran]

100%. I've never. I've never contributed to a live show. I've done.

[Noah]

Like, you had Love island takes and you had Noah Khan.

[Fran]

I don't know, something about that show had me nervous about, like, I gotta bring something.

[Noah]

Well, we haven't been together in a while. We haven't. We don't. You know, we don't know if the chemistry still there. The poor. Like, we're just not sure anymore. So it's like, wow, thank God you came with something.

[Fran]

And again, I hadn't been. I. You know, I really haven't been watching the Bachelor and I. It's like, it's sad. I know.

[Noah]

Are you gonna watch Paradise?

[Fran]

I think I'm gonna give it a shot.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because, I mean, are you gonna give it a shot? Are you guys gonna watch?

[Ria]

I. I definitely am. They just announced all the olds.

[Noah]

It should be good.

[Ria]

All the Goldies.

[Fran]

But how hard is it to watch after you watched Love Island?

[Noah]

So hard? That's what I've been saying for years. That's why I. I was becoming annoying when I would be like, well, it's not Love island, but that's how hard it is. You can't compare. Especially because I think you grow an attachment to these people. And it's so, like, weird to even say that you grow an attachment to these people, but you watch them on your TV every single night. So it's hard to not grow attached, even if, like, you know, you start off. Because people. I don't know if you know this, but people were so into the last season. Season six was like, you know, Love island had been on for years. Uk, we've watched whatever big seasons, but like, usa, like, took off last year.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So now with this upcoming season, people were nervous, like, oh, are we gonna like it as much? It always takes a week to get into it. All of a sudden, you're now attached to these characters more than you were the last season. So it's like, it's just a different feeling than Bachelor. That's week to week and kind of the same formula that we've seen for a long time before that we've seen Love Island.

[Fran]

It's just so different in that. I mean, when you're the Bachelor franchise, you're so connected to ABC because that's the network that puts your show on, that there's no swearing. The level of ass shaking and horniness and hardcore makeouts in Love island, as opposed to Bachelor, is night and day.

[Noah]

I mean, they're putting black boxes over their bikinis. Still on the Bachelor.

[Fran]

Right. So I. I didn't. I didn't realize that it was going to be that different. And I don't know. I'm. I'm sure I'll tune into Bachelor in Paradise, but man, Love island is just sort of. That's the future for sure. For sure.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

You get. You would get nervous.

[Noah]

I mean, we.

[Ria]

We used to be like, oh, my God, the Bachelor, he kissed three women on the first night. What a disaster. Like now it's like you watch Love island there, the first episode, the first challenge, they're all making out with each other. We're like, yeah, that's normal.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And if they're not, you're like. Like Bella, you're like, why isn't she kissing everybody?

[Fran]

Right. The thing that's amazing about the Love island challenges, and I love them, is that they're not even. There is no challenge. It's like the wood, though. Like the wood chopping down of the wood of the tree was like, you're. They're just trying to get everybody to kiss each other. That's it. There's no. There's no winner. There's no loser. People cry and people get upset, but all the whole goal is just to make everybody make out with everybody else.

[Noah]

It's like their version of like Seven Minutes in Heaven or spin the bottle. Like, they're just like, how can we get these people to kiss? It is officially Truly season. Summer is here. Which means it's finally the return of the Truly pool Party Pack. We've been on tour, we're drinking Truly on stage, we're drinking Truly with our listeners, and right now you can get the Pool Party Pack.

So find Truly Hard Hard Seltzer and the new limited time only pool party Pack at a store near you or located at truly hard seltzer.com Speaking of the challenge, we can go into recapping Monday and Tuesday night's episodes. Paige desorbo did talk about what happened on Giggly Squad. People were wondering why, I think it was Sunday night or Monday night, Sunday, Sunday night. Wondering why she had just left the challenge. Like, they were like, paige, Paige Isor. About to step out the voiceover, and she was just gone. She did talk about on Giggly Squad. She felt. She felt faint. She got super hot. She was wearing this suede turtleneck dress that she had worn before on the after show for Summer House. People were wondering why she wore this dress. Because Paige desorbo is not an outfit repeater. Alpha repeating is fine. She just is such a fashion queen that people were like, what? I can't believe she's repeating an outfit on Love Island. She told the story. She had four Love island dresses specifically, like, made. They wanted a lumberjack theme. So she looked in her closet, sent a picture of this dress. They said they want that dress. She had to wear it for this challenge. They're in the Fiji heat. They're doing this for hours. She feels like she's going to puke. So she steps off. She does that. She comes back and she felt too dizzy, had to step off, couldn't continue. So she legitimately almost passed out in front of all the islanders to do that challenge. And people were wondering where she had gone. So that is the answer for that.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Ria]

Yeah, it's. It's hot. Especially peak day. If they were starting in the morning and they were going for hours and hours, it looks like they were probably filming that challenge for a really long time. And she said, you know, between the suede dress, the mic pack, you know, you got like a hot mic pack on the back of your neck. Like, it's just a recipe.

[Noah]

Hair extension.

[Ria]

Recipe for disaster.

[Noah]

Yeah. My God.

[Ria]

I mean, we. When we went to the villa last summer, just walking around the villa when we were taking social content, and it was, you know, the middle of the day, it was obscenely hot. Like, we were sweating our asses off.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. I remember being like. Like, my hair was sticking to my face, just trying to grab it off, and we were practically naked. Like, I was in.

[Ria]

Oh. We wore as little clothes as we possibly could.

[Noah]

And seriously, bare minimum. And we were dying. So I could only imagine being in that. So, yeah, that's what happened there. But we've obviously have had a crazy week of episodes, and, you know, Tuesday night was the big shebang. People thought it was going to happen. They thought that Hooda was going to go home, and she did not. But I guess we can rewind a little bit and talk about Charlie was sent home. We'll discuss that with Charlie on this episode. And it was because Fran and I talked about this. The. The viewers voted. And did you know that that was a thing Trent No.

[Fran]

Again, I'm so new to this show that I. I'm going in blind. Like, I don't. I still don't know what Casa Amore is. I don't. I don't know.

[Noah]

You still don't know?

[Fran]

No, I've been. Well, I've been trying to avoid. I don't know what movie night is. I see.

[Huda]

It's better if he doesn't.

[Noah]

Don't. Yeah. Because when you put on your TV and they announce it's Casa More Day, and you find out what it is, like, I don't want to ruin that for you. Because watching that show for the first time and realize and learning what Casa Amore is for the first time and movie night, you're like, oh, my God. You're, like, hollering at the tv, so I won't take that away from you.

[Fran]

It's been a really great experience, actually. Just like, I'm basically starting a whole new show that I obviously know is very popular and a lot of people watch it. But I'm just. This is my first season, and I'm learning things as I go along, so I'm very excited to learn what all of those things are.

[Noah]

So the voting. There's an app so people can vote, and we know that they voted for Jeremiah and Iris to be together. Huda. We left off, Huda was like, does America hate me, or is America seeing a side of Jeremiah that we're not seeing? And what I love is that America has become a character in this show because they're all talking about America.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

Just so openly.

[Fran]

They really do. They go like, well, how do you think America feels like it's a person? And also, Hudda did the thing where not only did she ask those two questions, but she also threw it at Iris and said, well, I think another reason might be is because Iris expressed interest in Jeremiah, and so they wanted Iris and Jeremiah to get together. It's the voting, putting something like that into the hands of America. And America can do the funniest thing every time they do it. Like, that is. That's a chaos type of thing that I did not expect to see. But it's amazing. It really is.

[Noah]

It's insane. And so, no. So now the aftermath of that is Jeremiah and Iris are coupled up, and they wake up the next morning. Jeremiah had not checked on Huda. After the vote. He then. So he doesn't check on Hood immediately. Then he hears Huda in the shower calling him a bitch, a liar going off. He hears that. He tries to. Like, he says, to her. Like, I'm not a liar, by the way. She walks off. She doesn't want to talk. They go to bed. Jeremiah sleeps in bed with Iris because that's what happens now when you're in a couple. They sleep in bed. I think Huda expected Jeremiah to maybe sleep outside, but Ace is taking up the fucking bed and Soul Ties because he doesn't want to be near Amaya, right? So he's taken up that bed. So where Jeremiah even asleep, maybe in bed with Ace, I don't know. So then they wake up, they get their text that they're going on triple date. So it's Hannah and Pepe, Alandria and Jalen, Jeremiah and Iris. Obviously, this is not okay with Huda. This is not okay. They go on the date, Jeremiah and Iris. Like, I don't know if there's a connection there, if they're just chatting. Like, it doesn't seem like there's a strong connection. I mean, how even could there be? Like, with, you know, Huda around? Like, it's a whole thing. They come back, Hannah and Pepe are already making out. By the way, like, we thought that Hannah was never gonna breathe again after Charlie got sent home. Her tongue was down Pepe's throat the next morning.

[Fran]

She was devastated when Charlie left. And you did think like, oh, I even back my head. I was like, is she gonna leave with Charlie? Like, they're so into each other and then immediately just making out fully. So I think she's moved on pretty quickly.

[Noah]

I think so too. Alandra and Jalen. Jalen's giving Alandra a little massage. We see all that. They come back and this is just hilarious television. Huda puts her sunglasses on and is laying on the blue lounge chair acting like she's been like that the entire day.

[Huda]

I was slapping my knee, like, laughing.

[Noah]

I also was. It's. Some moments are laugh out loud funny.

[Fran]

Yeah, it was incredible.

[Ria]

She really is. It's like very. It's cartoon character esque where you can't believe what she's doing. And by the way, she loves nothing. I've never seen someone on Love island eavesdrop as much as, like, I know that the villa isn't that big, so it's like you can hear things, but she, if she has a chance to eavesdrop, she will like. And she's listening when she hears those guys. I mean, let me tell you, I. I think after what happened Monday and what happened Tuesday, I think it's pretty fair to say that they are all afraid of her, like, they are all 100% absolutely terrified of what her reactions are going to be. They're afraid she's going to fly out the handle. I mean, when, when they all came back from that date, Jalen and Pepe were like, let's not go too far when Hooda wanted to talk to Iris because I think they thought she was like going to hit her or something. Like, they were like, they were like, should we stay up here a little, A little close? Like just in case. Because she was storming around. She wanted to talk to Iris. She. She's saying nasty things about Iris and truly one of my favorite things that she's done. And I. It really is unbelievable. Television. And I mean, Love island is clearly just not the show for her. And I know she's getting absolutely destroyed, but like, you really have to watch it in the sense of a reality TV lens and be able to laugh at it a little bit.

[Noah]

Sure.

[Ria]

Like, Iris tried so hard to downplay their date. Like, Iris tried so hard to make their date sound unappealing. Like they didn't do anything. Like she gave the bare minimum of, oh, it was just sitting on the beach. And she goes, sitting on the beach. That's my favorite date. Cute. He knows that too.

[Noah]

Yeah, it's my ideal date.

[Ria]

That's my ideal date. Cute. And he knows that. Okay. I mean, one, he didn't plan the date. Like, he had nothing to do with the date. And she really tried to make the date sound as plain as possible. Sitting on the beach. That's my ideal date. And he knows that Iris could have.

[Noah]

Said anything and that would have been Hooda's ideal date if she was like, we were eating cockroaches and we were blending them into milkshakes.

[Fran]

I love. He knows I love cockroaches.

[Noah]

I love a cockroach milkshake.

[Fran]

Oh my gosh, we talk about it all the time. No, also before the date started, like after the three couples left her, huda, huda getting huda, huda, huda getting up.

[Ria]

And huda coulda, woulda.

[Fran]

That's what I was trying to think about. Cuz that's what she said originally, right?

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

When she then wakes up and then she wakes up Taylor and he's like. And he's talking to one of the boys later and he's like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Like, I can't bring them back from the date. Like, why are you waking me up? I can't help this out.

[Noah]

So that's. That's another thing. She's making it everybody's problem. And friend, like you mentioned, we need to be able to laugh about these things and talk about these things and be able to judge the people on our TV as if we would normal viewers of reality tv. And they know when they go on the show.

[Fran]

I totally agree.

[Noah]

Obviously, the, you know, online hatred that people receive, we all know, it goes too far. It's never okay. She doesn't deserve that. Like, no person deserves on reality tv, the hate that they get sent just because you don't agree with her actions. But put it, we have to put that aside to be able to talk about the things that she's doing. Because I think that people are trying to. And this is part of the conversation because of the hate that she's getting, people are trying to excuse her actions and be like, well, Jeremiah isn't good. And it's like, okay, Jeremiah may not be good and he's not a saint and he's a little toxic, but it doesn't warrant the reactions that Huda is giving and the actions and the name calling and like, you know, it doesn't warrant that. So, like, we need to be able to separate the two. Because I'm seeing so much like, well, Jeremiah's toxic. Okay, but not toxic enough to be throwing these fits that's going on, you know.

[Fran]

Right. We're not completely blind to know. Like, I understand that Jeremiah should have consoled her after all that went down. Like, I think we can all agree.

[Noah]

With 100% he should have checked on her. That would be the natural thing to do. If you are interested in somebody, you would go check on them to see if they're okay. So the fact that he didn't do that was really bizarre and weird and.

[Fran]

Kind of me also might be a tell that this relationship isn't going to work.

[Noah]

Right?

[Fran]

But, like, if that had been the last straw, like, if she were like, all right, you didn't console me after all. I went down. And I agree with her that that would have been the right thing to do. She should have broken it off right there. But instead it just keeps rolling along to the point where what has happened, it's what you guys are referring to, where everyone is afraid of Huda around and they don't want to talk to Jeremiah about it because they're scared of her. Like, it just should have ended there because clearly the relationship isn't going to work if he's not providing her with what she thinks she needs. But it just keeps going and it's like, still going.

[Ria]

That's the problem with Jeremiah, though, too, is like, he. There. There are times, like, when Hood was like, he's being a ass. I'm like, in my mind, I was kind of like, he kind of is being a little bit of a pussy ass. And some. In some scenarios where it's like, they. The name calling is. It's a lot. And I. And 100%, it's like, she's very hurt. And I also think that they, like, they were physical with each other really early on, and that's gonna backfire. And they're, you know, you. That's. You get too close, but their relationship has felt like it's ended multiple times.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Ria]

And I, like, Jeremiah keeps. I felt like Jeremiah kept coming back and, like, trying to have conversations and, like, trying to either whether it's like, be in good graces with her, all these things. It's just like, no one of you needs to just be like, this is over and done, and. And. And try and move on. And neither of them have been able to do that. It's not gonna be Huda. And I wish Jeremiah was just be like, look, clearly this isn't working because I do think he is sort of like, he kind of really was keeping her with some hope in her head up until, obviously, Tuesday when he didn't stand at her door. But it was like. It's like I. I felt like they were having the same fight multiple times a day where it was like, okay, well, clearly you guys should maybe just stop talking.

[Noah]

Right. Well, the thing is, Jeremiah, he went about communicating this the wrong way. I think he's a terrible communicator. I mean, both of them are. But he was saying to Huda, like, I want to kind of start from the beginning. And I think he was wording it wrong by saying friendship, like, I want to be friends. Because he was saying he still wanted to get to know her, but he just wanted to, like, start from the beginning. And, like, I guess you can't just start from the beginning when you've been intimate with each other and have reached that level. But I. I knew what he was trying to say, meaning, like, let's take a. Let's take a pause. Let's, like, bring it back a little bit and, like, let's get to know each other again and whatever. Like, he was. He was a terrible communicator being, like, talking about friendship and shit. I think he used the word buddy at some point. Yeah. Yeah, like. Which was just all wrong. And she blew her top. And she. When she threw that pillow, I thought it was going right at his face. I was like, is she about to throw this pillow right at his face? And then she was like, I'm done. Like, I don't want to do this. Da, da, da, da. So then it's like, all right, well, okay, it would be nuts if Jeremiah were to then pick her at the door. Like, after all of that, after she storms away and. And is like, I don't want to do that. Da, da, da. So then he had to pick Iris. And I was shocked, I'm not going to lie, because I thought, this man's definitely picking Huda. But he pegged Iris. But. But now it's become this conversation of, like, does he. Because people thought that he was just, like, honing in on Huda right away to get the. Like, to win the money. Now since he's seen what America wants, is he like, all right, I'm going to couple with Iris because America wants me with Iris, and now I can win with Iris. Like, now it's become that conversation where I'm like, I think we need to like. And like, they're like, oh, producers are making people pick certain things. I'm like, that's not happening. And Arianomatics has commented on multiple tech talks being like, no. No one's forcing them to do anything. No one's telling them to do anything. Like, this is just what's happening. And also, I wanted to add with the way that you were saying Fran, like, when Hud is like, pussy ass bitch. Dah, dah, dah, like, calling him names. I've seen people compare it to Leah being like, why did we support Leah but not Huda? It's not even in the same ballpark.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, it's not.

[Noah]

Leah, like, would vent to her friends and be like, you know, in that makeup room and, like, say, one liners and whatever.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Huda, straight up, like, in front of everybody, embarrassed Iris. When Jeremiah picked Iris, like, she was like, you're. First of all, she keeps saying a scapegoat. She's like, you're in a scapegoat. And then she was like. And Jeremiah told me he's not even attracted to her dad. And it's like, okay, now you're embarrassing this girl, which is so rude in front of everybody. So I think it's totally different than past seasons or past islanders that we've seen. Like, I don't think it's on the same level. I think she's name calling and being Mean to people, like, in front of other people.

[Fran]

Well, yeah. And she does the thing where, like, if a bombshell comes in and acts a little interested in Jeremiah or even looks at him, and that's sort of what they're supposed to do anyway, she will be so mean to them to their face and to the other girls. Until that person bends the knee.

[Noah]

Yes.

[Fran]

And is like, I'm not interested in Jeremiah. And then she's like, sisterhood love 100, that is. And then she did it again to Iris yesterday, where, you know, she was so mean to Iris after Jeremiah picked her. And then Iris goes and votes for Hutter to stay, and then afterwards, she's nice again. And it's just like this cycle of, like, really, really mean to the point where the person's like, all right, I just clearly don't want to have to deal with this while I'm here, so I'm not interested in Jeremiah. And then she loves you again. And it's like, that is a very toxic cycle, and that's sort of the environment that she has made the villa.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And it feels. Sometimes it feels a little performative, too, because it's like she flies off the handle and she says these things about the girls. And then, like, after the. The previous vote, not this one, but the previous vote when Nick and Ace had voted for her to go, when it was between Charlie and Taylor and her, like, she very calmly spoke to both of them after that. And, like, sometimes I feel like she's much. She tries. She's, like, more understanding. It, like, flips. And then she tries to be like, no, I'm understanding.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

I totally get it.

[Noah]

She says she was the most fit. She said she was the most understanding person.

[Ria]

She said, like, it's just like, that.

[Huda]

Was right before Nick said, I'm terrified of you.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was like, I have to say, I'm a little intimidated by you. And also, like, sometimes I'm like, what's going through? Like, Nick. I'm like, nick, do you want her gone? Do you want them to be in a relationship? Do you not want them to be in a relationship? Like, first he was so, oh, Jeremiah, you shouldn't be doing. This is bad. And then, you know, then he's mad at Jeremiah for not. And I get it, like, 100%. Jeremiah should have been there for her and that.

[Huda]

I think she manipulated him into thinking that, like, it's kind of Jeremiah's fault when they had that talk. Well, I also went at Jeremiah after that.

[Noah]

Yeah. And I think the guys, I think what Nick was trying to say was like, all right, you. Last night, you're telling us how much you like her, but then you don't check on her. So do you like her? Like, I think that was kind of where it was coming from, where it was like, if you did really like her, you should have went and checked on her. But now we don't know if you really like. It seems like Jeremiah, like, do I need. We don't know Jeremiah's personality. We don't know anything about him. What does he even want to do, actually? Because he's either. He's like, all right, I'm locked in with Huda. Then the boys are like, you got to be experiencing. And then he's, you know, experimenting, and then they're not happy with that. And he's like, what does people want me to do? And it's like he is very confused on what to do, it seems. And like, he's clearly very rattled. And Huda is clearly making everybody very scared because we saw the previews for Thursday where every. Where Sierra. I love Sierra. She was like, I'm not saving her again. Like, we saved her three times. Like, I'm not doing it again. They shouldn't have even done it this time. But I think Iris honestly was really sweet doing that, because people are like, why did Iris do that? Have you been watching the show? If Iris didn't go stand behind her and then she stayed, that would be a nightmare for Iris. So she was doing it, and then Hood is like, oh. Meanwhile, the night before. She's not a girl's girl. She's not a girl's girl. She's not a girl. Nobody has talked about not being a girl's girl more than Huda. Meanwhile, Huda is so mean to the girls. It just. It's. It's wild to watch. And we're going to continue watching it because she's still here. She's not going home. They all saved her.

[Fran]

It's crazy. And I think on top of people being scared of Huda, it's also that the whole villa is exhausted. They just don't want to deal with it. Like, if you're on Love island and you're having this experience, like, I don't think you would want it all to be dominated by this really toxic couple. So I was surprised last night when they didn't vote her to go home, because now, like, I don't know how it's gonna go, and nobody does, I guess. But if you keep her around, there's the chance that her and Jeremiah reconnect, and then the cycle starts all over again. So I don't. I don't know where this thing is headed.

[Noah]

So now it brings the question. We can kind of move on to Ace a little bit. Ace, the mayor of the villa.

[Huda]

Big.

[Noah]

The head honcho little man who has been bossing everybody around in this place. I mean, he's ordering Nick and Taylor to, like, make Shelly pancakes and put.

[Fran]

On a show for her, put on a suit jacket.

[Noah]

And he's like, okay, genuinely.

[Huda]

He literally said, anything for you.

[Noah]

I. No, he literally was like, anything for you, man. I couldn't stop laughing about men. Breakfast is the bare minimum. I goodies all. I'm like, soldiers. I'm like, this guy is literally bossing them around. And they're sitting there like this. They're like, they're nod in their head. They're like, you're right. You're right. And then. And then he's telling Taylor. He's like. He's like giving Taylor a lecture. And I'm. I'm just sitting there wondering, who are you with, Ace? What? You. Every day it's a new person. Who are you to be speaking about any of what's going on? I can't get enough of it, though. Like, I want him to continue acting this way. Like, people want him to leave. I don't. I think it's amazing television. He's ridiculous the way he's ordering everybody around.

[Fran]

There is a part of me, I like Ace and I. There's a part of me that thinks he's necessary because in my mind, he's fighting for the spirit of Love Island.

[Noah]

No, but here's the thing. Now let me tell you this.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Have you seen the rumors?

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

So there's now these rumors going around. Oh, no, we knew that. And this goes with. You're saying the spirit of Love Island. Right. He's like, oh, everybody should be exploring. Right. And he's like the loudest person there's ever been about somebody exploring Love Island. Like, usually they are, but he's like, you better explore. Everyone has to explore. Like, he's literally screaming it. So Shelly, you know, Shelly and Ace knew each other before they had bumped into each other outside a club.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Noah]

Somebody posted, and I'm not sure who, but apparently somebody in their circle had posted that this has been a plan by Shelly and Ace. This whole time. They have known each other very, very well. Actually, they know each other. You want me to read the whole post to you? I'll sort of sum it up.

[Fran]

Yeah, sure.

[Noah]

Not to be messy, but I know Ace and Shelley in real life. They're out here acting like they barely know each other when they've been talking for months. Like, he literally told her, happy Valentine's Day this year on Instagram. Stop playing. And then there was a video of him because he teaches people how to dance.

[Fran]

Like, yeah.

[Noah]

He was having them say, happy Valentine's Day, Shelly on Valentine's Day. Which is really weird, so I'll continue. They didn't just bump into each other at a party. Shelly models and does music videos. And y' all know Ace is trying to be a rapper, right? That's literally how they linked. He hit her up like, you should be in my next vid, and started pressing her. They've been intimate. They've been dating. He talks about her all the time. She's been around all the bros. Everybody in the circle knows what's up. Shelley's not entertaining anyone else. Anyone else in that villa because she's already with Ace. She's just sitting back, letting him run his little play. Neither of them have kissed anyone outside of a challenge. That's not a coincidence. It's because they agreed on it. They were like, let's play the game. And now I'm thinking about it. Shelly and Austin have not kissed at all.

[Fran]

That is crazy.

[Noah]

But obviously they knew people would catch on if they avoided challenge kisses, too. That's the only reason they're even doing that. And y' all thought that licking scene was cute or whatever. Please. She's okay with it because they're actually together. Ace will do anything for fame. He told people he was going in to be a disruptor, and that's exactly what he's doing. Trying to break up real connections while making sure people root for him. And Shelly don't get played. Y' all are watching a performance.

[Fran]

I mean, so go back and think about how weird it was between Ace and Amaya. Like, early on, when I. Or no, was it Amaya who called him baby babe? And he lost his mind and.

[Noah]

But don't call me babe.

[Fran]

Don't call me babe. He's, like, crossing the line. He's got his arms crossed how he does, and he's just sort of looking out of the corner of his eye.

[Noah]

He really is like this. He's always, like, low like this with a smirk.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Noah]

Does he's always like this?

[Ria]

Does he kind of remind you guys of Justin Bieber? Like, I. Like. I feel like he. Like, I Feel like he acts like Justin. I feel like he acts like Justin Bieber. Like, if you ever watch, like, interviews of Justin Bieber, of him being, like, all, like, smooth and, like, cool, but then also, like, trying to be, like, kind of like. Like, is he just Justin Bieber?

[Noah]

Well, did you see the. I like your laugh when he said to Amaya, I like your laugh. It was like the Maria Menounos clip when Justin's like, Like that laugh. He's literally like this. And he's always.

[Fran]

He's doing a lot of this.

[Ria]

And he was like. And he's got, like, his lips. He's got that, like, cute face, too.

[Noah]

Yeah, he does have. Ace has such, like, a cute face that I can see why the girls are, like, attracted to him. Like, they're. Because when you're talking to him, it's.

[Ria]

Like, it's sort of.

[Noah]

It's. It's not like Rob from last season, but it sword is in the way that, like. Because Ace gives a lot more than Rob does. But, like, where. Where it was like, does Rob hate them or love them? That's, like, sort of kind of the vibe Ace gives where you're like, does he hate this person or love this person the way that he's talking to them? But Ace gives a lot more personality than Rob does.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's. I mean, the stuff with the Maya was, like, so weird to me, and it was. And then. But he would be very lovely with Shelly. He would have her lean in to, like, smell her shirt, give her a kiss on the forehead. Like, that's not a guy who. That's a guy who's only closed off to someone who's not Shelly.

[Noah]

Right. And it was so weird that he picked Amaya in the first place. Like, the whole villa was like, why is he picking Amaya? So it would make sense why he. Why he's all like, everybody must explore. Everybody must explore. So nobody catches on to him. And trying to be like. Like, trying to call Jeremiah out, being like, I don't believe it. I don't trust it. Like, he's only here to win because he's there to win with Shelley. Right.

[Fran]

Very.

[Ria]

No, it's very interesting and it definitely makes sense on the. On the Amaya front of, like, why maybe he shut that down so fast, but, like, also didn't want to couple up with Shelley's too early.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And, like, have that be a thing. So when you think about it in that lens, it does seem like it could be a little calculated. I'd love to know I mean, I also think there were stuff online that, like, Amaya and Shelly knew each other before, too. So I don't know what. Maybe some whole big. It's all right under, but right under our noses. But I really don't think it's that, like, I don't know. It's gonna be interesting to see where it goes with Shelley now if they do stay, like, completely locked in for the rest of the time now that he did finally pick her.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

I think I'm blinded by shelley's beauty because 100%, because she also wasn't giving Austin anything either, but, like, continuing to couple up with Austin, but, like, wasn't. It didn't seem like there was any romantic spark, but then continued. She kept saying she was interested in Austin, but it was like, where. You know what I mean? Where is it. Where is it happening?

[Fran]

Right?

[Noah]

We don't really see it. We see them have conversations, but she's, like, barely facing in his direction and, like, you know, like, there's something. There was something off about it.

[Fran]

They did pick, like, the perfect foils for each other. Like, Amaya and Ace hate each other, which is hilarious. And Austin, I don't think was ever gonna make a move on Shelley unless she was like, let's. Let's make it. Let's do it.

[Noah]

Focus on Ace right now. I hate how much Austin has made me fucking chuckle on this show.

[Fran]

He makes me laugh all the time.

[Noah]

Because there were a couple things this week, but him finding out that Huda has a kid.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah.

[Noah]

When? And. And. But that's where I kind of felt like it mean from Jeremiah, to be cackling so much about, you know, him finding out she has a kid when that's a secret. Like, you know, that's. That's mean. Was. Was Austin's reaction funny? Yes, because he's not a part of it. But Jeremiah to be, like, cackling about it.

[Fran]

Right?

[Noah]

Mean. Because you. You know, she trusted you with this information, so there's layers to that.

[Ria]

[Noah]

And then Austin kind of spoke up. Was like, laughing, and Ariana was like, austin, are you laughing? And he was like, I am. Because, like, I'm. I'm sorry, but I'm actually, like, not sorry, like, about the. About the recoupling.

[Huda]

When Jeremiah went was the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[Fran]

So good. He was so. He was proud. He was like, yeah, thank you for finally doing that.

[Huda]

Let's end this genuinely happy. Like, in his soul.

[Fran]

He was.

[Noah]

Watching Ace and Amaya speak to each other is a bit painful. Austin and am I sorry? Sorry. Austin and Amaya, like, it's like, I.

[Ria]

Love it and hate it. Yeah, it's like, it's like, so amazing, but you're also like, oh, boy. But like, at the same time, I'm like, honestly, these two may be perfect.

[Noah]

I agree. And I honestly, like, I know people want Amaya off their screens. I think Amaya is a perfect character for this show. I've been watching this season as if it's like a sitcom because of how absurd it is where I'm like, amaya is a hilarious character. Like, I. I begin to be, like, cracking up at everything because every time someone's upset when she. When she said to Huda, the crown has been tilted. And now we just. She's like, the crown has been tilted. We just pick it back up. Like, she just speaks in, like, sayings, you know, inspirational quotes when people are upset.

[Fran]

It's. Yeah, she is. Yeah. I mean, it's. Yeah, she's incredible for tv. Watching her and Austin go back and forth was like, I, like, I, like, have to try to catch my breath.

[Noah]

And she wouldn't hurt a fly. Like, she's. She's genuinely seems like a sweetheart. Like, I. I feel like Amaya is, like, really sweet.

[Fran]

I agree. You also.

[Noah]

She fucked up that Hannah Charlie vote, but I don't think she means to hurt anybody.

[Fran]

You also got to think.

[Ria]

But it's funny now because. Did she really. Because Hannah, like, yeah, like, Hannah really jumped right back in with Pepe. I know probably she would have stuck with Charlie if Charl, but yeah, she really jumped right back into. With Pepe.

[Fran]

Pepe. Not much to him. I don't. I haven't really gotten any. Any interesting vibes from him.

[Ria]

He's just sort of a guy I know, definitely. And he, you know, he's a handsome guy, but I, we haven't seen too much from him.

[Noah]

And.

[Ria]

On the other, on the other part of it, like I was so, I was so upset watching Jalen leave. Like, I, it, it broke my heart because he's so sweet and I feel like he really deserved a chance. And I'm interested to see what Ace says about that vote because I'm assuming he did that for Taylor to be like, well, let me just eliminate Jalen so Taylor and Alandria don't have any, any problems.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And that way, you know, they can be, they can be fine together as a couple because I mean, Jalen absolutely harmless, sweet. And when he's like just, he was just so grateful to be there and he's never left the country and he had to the pat the whole story, I was like, oh, let him stay a little longer.

[Noah]

I agree. I think Jalen honestly probably would had a good shot at finding somebody on the show. He's a good looking guy. He's a really nice guy. Like he's normal. I think, like he really could have had a shot at finding somebody on this show and they fudgeing screwed him out of it and I'm pissed about it. By the way, we. Respectful, so respectful. We did inquire about having Jalen on the show to interview him, but he's not available for interviews. So I just want everyone to know that because we've been interviewing everybody who gets eliminated but he is not available.

[Fran]

So what do you, what do you guys think about a future for Taylor and Alandria? I really like both of them. I'm just, I want them to work out. I want that to be on the record, but I just don't know if it's there. But I really love both of them.

[Noah]

I love them both separately so much. Alandria is probably my favorite woman in the house right now. Like her and Ciara are like top two for me. I would say she's hilarious. She like knows her worth. Like, she's, I think she's great. Taylor I think is so funny with the guys, them together. I'm not quite seeing that connection and chemistry and I'm just not sure if they're not showing it to us. Like every time they kiss I'm like, I don't, I don't know, I don't see it. I hate when people say stink or whatever as a nickname. So obviously when you call her Stink, Stink, like that threw me Off. But I was like, wait, they have nicknames? So that was on the other side of it.

[Fran]

I was like, right.

[Noah]

Happy to hear that they even had nicknames, because I don't see any connection between the two of them. But I don't want them to go home, either of them, because I enjoy both of them a lot.

[Fran]

Same.

[Ria]

Yeah. I wonder if there's some of it we're not really seeing. And I think it's just. Maybe it's like, the way Taylor's been that it almost feels a little less genuine from his side because Landry's kind of always expressed that she liked him. But I also, in every other aspect of what Alandria has been like on the show, she seems to have such a good head on her shoulders. She is great at reading people. I feel like she has been very understanding of a lot of different situations where I'm like, if she does feel like. Like, Taylor is the right pick right now, then I trust that, you know, Like, I'm like, I feel like she. She understands herself. So I'm like, so maybe it is there and we just don't, you know, we don't fully see it as much. But no, she is great. And I love. You're. You're right. I love Sierra, too. I mean, Sierra with the, like, kind of being, like, maybe we just, like, cool it on the name calling, like, if you're gonna stay, like, it's just.

[Noah]

So.

[Ria]

I. I really do think that that was a vote. I don't. I don't know if it's like producers manipulate things in any way or whatever, but, like, that was a very quick recoupling post. What we just had, like, that was really fast. And to me, it is kind of like Huda is taking over the show in a way where if it goes on a few more episodes, it's gonna be really frustrating. And it totally bulldozes everybody else's storylines where we're really not seeing a lot of the other couples, and that hurts the other couples. And. And we don't really get to see their journey as much because Huda is literally inserting herself and everything or, you know, yelling at somebody, or there's just people aren't able to really show other parts of themselves. So in a way, I'm like, okay, was this another way to maybe open the door to where Huda could be sent home? And yet all the contestants still were like, ah, we're gonna keep her, because they're all legit scared. I think it's crazy to me and it really was like they all stood behind her, and it wasn't like anyone was like, yeah, we really want her. We really are supportive of you staying. It was like, like, I guess we'll keep her. I don't know.

[Fran]

Right. Do you think? I was thinking about this. If it were a blind vote, do you think the results would be different?

[Ria]

100.

[Noah]

100%.

[Ria]

100%. If they knew, like, if they knew there was no threat to Hoda, like, losing it on them, I think they would have, because immediately in the previews, it's like all of them being like, we can't keep going on like this. Like, we can't go. So it's like, okay, well, you all voted to keep her, but now immediately are like, we can't keep living like this.

[Noah]

They might fudgeing flip it to a blind vote to get her off. They might do it because at this point, they might not have a choice.

[Ria]

Also, they might need an America's Vote. Well, I also just have it be that way.

[Noah]

Yeah. I also think that they might be a little bit too aware that they're on TV right now, and because of the whole America Voted thing, they don't know. They're still trying to figure out why America voted for that. So they may think, does America love Huda? Like, if we. If we don't vote for Huda, is everyone going to hate us like that? You know, I feel like maybe that could be going through their minds of like, well, if we don't vote for Huda, everyone's gonna be mad at us. Sort of like, you know, last year, you don't know this, but, yeah, you know, people fell in love with a lot of cast members, Leah being one of them. Like, they were calling her the people's princess and. And da, da, da. And I think if anyone were to, like, go against her on whatever the show, people would have had a lot to say. So. So I think that maybe they know that because they've seen the show before and now they're thinking, oh, is this that kind of situation where, like, she's very loved and if we go against her, you know, who knows? They don't know what's going on. So I'm just throwing that out there as a theory as to maybe why, you know, or they could be afraid of her or they're just trying to stand by the girl. You know, the girls are just trying to stand by the girl or somebody. An og. Yeah. I mean, shout out to Nick, because I think Nick is the number one guy in the Group right now. I think he. He voted for Jalen to stay and he's been very, like, open about how he feels. It did crack me up that Austin called Nick one of Ace's followers. Cause I was like, oh, you don't want to be labeled. Like, when you're labeled as someone's follower, it's like, ugh, that hurts. They've just plopped him down.

[Fran]

You're a peasant.

[Noah]

Yeah. He was wearing a hilarious shirt, Mommy's little meatball. Which is just like. He just does these, like, funny things that, you know, are so random and funny.

[Fran]

Well, he also. He's right. Like, in terms of the Jalen and Hudda vote, it's like, you want Jalen to stick around because he's got the chance now to make a relationship with somebody new who's gonna show up or whoever. Like the Hut of Jeremiah thing, even if it comes back together, that's a disaster. Like, you just. It's not gonna go anywhere with her. Like, is. Do we think she's gonna find somebody else?

[Noah]

No. And neither is he. Like, both. Any guy or woman coming into the villa is gonna be terrified to talk to either of them, Right? Look at Iris. She's been chewed up and spit out, like. And not even by any of her doing.

[Ria]

None, None.

[Noah]

So. And I don't know, I don't think any guy's gonna come in there and be like, yeah, I wanna. I wanna couple up with Huda, right?

[Fran]

Like, imagine coming in, being like, all right, so give me the lowdown on Hooda.

[Noah]

Like, they know. Cuz before they go in, they show them the episodes.

[Fran]

No way.

[Noah]

Yes. So they know what's going on. Oh, so that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think a guy's gonna go in there, and I don't think a woman's gonna go in there and go, I want one of them.

[Fran]

I think Jeremiah's got a better chance. But I. But it's still. It's. It's not looking good for either of them.

[Noah]

No, it is toxic. Toxic, toxic. And we all know they're gonna fucking get back together for real. I think that they're gonna end up, like, having a conversation of some sort. I do. I don't. I just. It feels like. It just feels like that kind of couple where, like, they're. They're gonna end up, like, having a make out after getting into a fight.

[Huda]

And then there's no way they survive. Costume or. There's no way that they survive if they buy some miracle. Did there's no way they survive movie night.

[Noah]

No, they're not surviving anything at all.

[Ria]

No. I think they're going to try and get her off this show in the next, like, few days.

[Noah]

Yeah. And they're going to have to either do it by voting by the viewers or like you said, just blind vote. And nobody knows who voted for who because they're literally afraid. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody production's afraid of her. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised.

[Ria]

They gotta take care of her and send her home.

[Noah]

Right. And I said this on my story where I was like, genuinely, I hope Hooda has a great support system when she leaves. And I do not think that this is the environment for her. Like, I'm worried for her mental health. Like, clearly it's not the right environment for her. And that's fine. It's not the right environment for a lot of people. But that doesn't mean you can go around being so mean to everybody and like acting the way that you do. Um, so, yeah, I could imagine production is like, how do we do this? All right.

[Fran]

In a post huddle world are like, is the show, like, where do you think the show goes? Like, is there enough going on as people who have watched the show before? Like, is there enough going on where you're like, all right, the show is still interesting without this insane blow up?

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Noah]

Yes. And they will do more interesting things. All their time is being wasted on catering to these two.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Noah]

So they don't have the time and energy to do anything. El. They're always making sure one of them's okay. They couldn't even. Hannah and Alandra couldn't even talk about their dates because going to the bathroom.

[Huda]

And then goes in the storm.

[Noah]

Right. Like, we need a compilation of the amount of times Hood has lied on this show too as well.

[Fran]

And then also always calls other people liars.

[Noah]

Yes. It's just, it's a lot. Last night I felt a little exhausted. I'm not gonna lie.

[Huda]

I'll be like hanging out talking. And she doesn't even know what they're talking about. She just walks in. I'm done with this fucking guy. It's like, oh, okay.

[Fran]

There is a very. A serious lack of self awareness with her too.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

She'll storm because she still thinks that everybody's on her side when they're just like, we're kind of done with the whole thing.

[Huda]

All the people's facial reactions and like, even Taylor was looking directly in the camera being like doing like the Jim Halpert.

[Noah]

Yeah. When she was looking at Jeremiah, like, america hates me because of you.

[Huda]

I saw one tweet that said, anytime I'm losing an argument to my boyfriend, now I'm just going to say, you think America hates.

[Noah]

No, I love it. I'm obsessed with some of the lines. Like, I posted on my story last night. I was like, next time Matt makes me breakfast, I'm gonna be like, breakfast is the bare minimum. No protein.

[Huda]

Next time, pancakes are under.

[Noah]

Yeah, next time he makes me French toast. No protein.

[Fran]

I'm glad to hear you guys say that about when. When whoever gets voted out. Whoever eventually. Because I do love the show and I hope it can sustain just like. All right, now we're back to, like, kind of regular programming.

[Noah]

We've been screaming about how good the show is for years, and it has not consisted of any of this. Like, we've seen people blow up at an. At a normal, respectable level of what has been done to them.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

On. On UK last year, like, people have blown up, but you've been like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Like, they were done dirty and they're having a moment. But it hasn't.

[Ria]

I mean, look at Serena and Cordell last year. Like, Serena, it's like she.

[Noah]

She's.

[Ria]

She yelled at him. But it was well deserved.

[Huda]

When I was seeing season five of uk.

[Noah]

Oh, Amber, Anna, Anna, Anna. Like, but those didn't go on for consecutive days.

[Fran]

Got it.

[Noah]

Whereas, like, Serena and even Cordell was like, what? Like. Was like, yes, Serena deserved to yell at me. Like, you know, and.

[Ria]

And it's not where the whole rest of the house is like, the whole rest of the villa are all like, these two people should not be together.

[Noah]

And it hasn't taken up every single episode of every show. Like, it happens for one episode or two episodes, and then they move on to the next drama. This has just taken up the entirety of the show, unlike what I've seen before on this show.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Noah]

It is very entertaining and will be entertaining without this because I know people, they're upset that Huda stayed, but partially. Everyone's a little like, well, are they going to get back together? Like, let's be honest, we're all a little bit Thursday night going, well, we do want to see what happens still there.

[Ria]

So they cannot get back together.

[Noah]

No, they can't. But. But everyone's like, well, we got to watch to see what happens.

[Fran]

At some point, Oleandria is going to stand up and say something.

[Ria]

Like, for real, someone.

[Fran]

She's like, she's like, I'm not dealing with. Because somebody asked her when, when Hud and Jeremiah weren't around, they're like, this should probably just end, right? And she was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But she would never say that to Huda because they're all together. But yeah, somebody at some point just got to be like, this is over. It's fucking over.

[Noah]

Yeah, they, they might need to have like break the fourth wall and have production walk in and just split them. Be like, you're going to stay on one side of the villa.

[Huda]

She'd be like, oh, Jeremiah told you to do this, right?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, America told you to do this. Yeah. Like, let's just put a line in the villa and keep Jeremiah on one side and Hood on the other.

[Huda]

He gets a restraining order in the village villa.

[Noah]

Oh, my God.

[Ria]

[Noah]

On a complete side note, I was watching last night and I was like, damn, I wish they would do Friendship island, you know, like just to hang out in the villa.

[Fran]

Oh, that'd be lovely, you know, because.

[Noah]

Like, I can't, like, you know, I'm gonna go on Love island, but I would love to just like spend a couple days in the villa just hanging out. Like, I feel like it would be a nice vacation.

[Fran]

It's like summer camp.

[Noah]

Yes.

[Ria]

Like, you go on, you would just like to go on vacation at the.

[Fran]

Villa, but call it friend.

[Noah]

I call it friend.

[Ria]

But do you want to be on, like, do you want it to be filmed?

[Noah]

No.

[Ria]

Yeah. So you, so you just want like a, like a four night stay.

[Noah]

I was trying, Yeah. I was trying to find a reason as to why I would be allowed, like to go stay at this villa.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Consecutive days with no phone as well. You know what I mean? Like no phone in the villa. You wake up, you do the same thing every day for like a week.

[Fran]

I do think you just got, you can go on vacation, book A villa.

[Ria]

I want to turn your phone off.

[Fran]

Like, just turn my. I want to turn my phone off.

[Noah]

You guys don't want to go hang out in that villa.

[Fran]

I absolutely go hang out.

[Noah]

You know what I mean? Like, splash in the pool.

[Huda]

Should we do that?

[Noah]

We wake up, we make breakfast. You know, like Friendship Island.

[Fran]

I actually would want it to be filmed to the point where it's like, I don't. I don't need all the, like, oh, look, they're not all sleeping, but, like, us, like, hanging out.

[Huda]

Like, I go over to, like, trans being such a bitch. Like, I'm not friends with him anymore.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, no, we just do it. It's like Friendship Island. It's like, who can make the most best friends?

[Fran]

I think we're really getting into some.

[Noah]

Real likable person in this house who can have the bestest of Friendship Island.

[Fran]

I don't know if anybody's going to watch it, but I will be. I want to be on the cast.

[Noah]

Yeah, exactly. It's like just. Just a team little show that we just get to hang out in the villa.

[Ria]

Because I was just like, oh, it's just so fun.

[Noah]

They're all hanging out, you know, without the hood. Us up. And I'm saying, like, them just, like, hanging out.

[Fran]

I will say, like, I. I want to be in, like, the Taylor Nick friend group.

[Noah]

You see what I'm saying? You're, like, having a good time. They've got handshakes every season. Like, that's the thing too.

[Fran]

And. And Jeremiah, when. When all the drama went down, he even said to the guys, he was like, listen, I. I'm. I'm upset about what happened with Huddup, but, like, losing the guys was the number one to me. And I was like, I get it, man.

[Ria]

Right?

[Fran]

It was crazy.

[Noah]

But I always say, like, it's not Friendship island, it's Love Island. Like, well, then let's make a spin off Friendship island. And it's just a good time. And it's not entertaining reality TV because everyone's friends, basically. This is Summer House. I'm describing Summer House, Friendship island, but it's Friendship island. And everyone. Ping pong tournaments galore, and everyone competes to be the bestest of friends.

[Fran]

What a pitch.

[Noah]

I'm workshopping.

[Fran]

Okay. I like it.

[Ria]

Peacock. Peacock. I hope you're listening.

[Noah]

They should do it, though. That where they rent the villa out, because they do. They bill it. Yeah. They build it and then they tear it down.

[Fran]

For real?

[Noah]

Yes.

[Huda]

Yeah. Like, when we. When we were going, like, they were like, yeah, we tear this down next.

[Noah]

When we were there, they were already tearing down costs out more.

[Fran]

Oh, they could make millions of dollars renting that out to bachelorette parties.

[Huda]

Oh, yeah.

[Noah]

If that ever becomes a thing, we're going immediately. Like, there's not even a question on.

[Huda]

You know, what would be fun? Like, they do it, and part of the experience is, like, they film it as it's like a real show. And then, like, after the vacation, you just watch it back.

[Ria]

Oh, they give you a highlight reel.

[Noah]

Like when you're on a ride, and they give you the highlights and then.

[Charlie]

You have the actual.

[Huda]

Like, Ian's narrating.

[Noah]

Yes. Oh, my God. That's such a fun package.

[Fran]

Okay, now we've got something. Friendship island is a. Is like a.

[Huda]

Is something that you have that forever.

[Fran]

You and your friends, you send clips to each other. Like, remember when he did this?

[Noah]

It's like going to Disney.

[Fran]

Exactly.

[Noah]

Yeah. And you look at all the pictures you got after your autograph book with all the characters, you know, the whole thing.

[Fran]

All right, Peacock. So when you take this idea, it's ours.

[Ria]

I mean, they could take this to Universal. Peacock is NBC Universal. You could literally build this at Universal Studios.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. A Love island villa at Universal Studios. No, because we ought to rent the shit out. I don't want to stand in line. Like, I don't want to do anything. I literally can, right? No, my God.

[Huda]

Easy pass or whatever.

[Noah]

They just look like they have such a good time, though.

[Fran]

I know. Like, the work. I mean, I don't really work sometimes.

[Noah]

Sometimes.

[Fran]

But yeah, in between, like, the workouts, and they're just hanging on day beds.

[Noah]

Well, I was like, it's like, they must. They can get ripped if they just wake up. There's nothing to work out. They eat the bare minimum. There's nothing to do besides weights, ping pong, eating. I will say, couple challenges.

[Fran]

You're kind of describing prison.

[Noah]

I was going to say that you're.

[Fran]

Describing prison a little bit, but it's.

[Huda]

Much more prison by way, the beach.

[Noah]

We said this the other night while we were watching. I was like. Because I. I said the same thing to Matt. I was like, describing this exact thing that I'm saying to you guys right now. And I was like, they just wake up. They just work out. Whatever. And he was like. He was like, yeah, it's like prison.

[Fran]

It's a beaut. It's a prison. But it's beautiful, right?

[Noah]

Prison in the sunshine in Fiji.

[Fran]

Prison in the sunshine.

[Noah]

Prison for billionaires.

[Fran]

Correct.

[Noah]

Because I think they write, don't they go to, like, a nicer prison?

[Fran]

Is that right?

[Ria]

Yeah, for. For. For, you know, the. The white collar crimes.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah, I remember Pablo Escobar had, like, his own little. He had his own house in prison.

[Noah]

He had his own villa.

[Fran]

Yeah, he really did. Pablo Escobar, I remember that.

[Noah]

Oh, God.

[Ria]

Yeah. You want to be next to, like, the Crypto bros and, like, the guys are getting caught for tax evasion. Like, where you want to be?

[Noah]

Mike the Situation and Fire Fest guy. Yeah, they. Billy McFarlane, they became best friends in prison.

[Fran]

Really?

[Noah]

You don't know this?

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

The Fire Fest guy and Mike the Situation linked up in prison.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And they were, like, coming up with ideas and everything.

[Huda]

Like, they were there another crazy guy there too. I forget who it was.

[Noah]

It was.

[Huda]

What's the guy's name? Like, he was kind of with Trump. I forget his name. I don't know, like his lawyer or something. I don't know. But there was.

[Fran]

Linked up and became buds.

[Noah]

Yep.

[Fran]

In prison, they had their own. They had their own friendship by.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

That's like a test case.

[Noah]

Billy McFarlane, they would have won that.

[Fran]

Show us in a pitch meeting with Peacock. You, like, see what. Billy McFarlane. See what they did in prison? That's what our show is going to be. They're like, get out.

[Noah]

Leave. Leave this room immediately.

[Fran]

Get out immediately.

[Noah]

Yeah. Wow. Well, Thursday night. Cannot wait to see what happens. I think everyone is fed up, but at the same time, everyone's like, if they're so fed up, then why did they fucking save her? I was huffing, puffing and puffing. I was like, why? Why did they do this?

[Ria]

Oh, I can only imagine even watching the people behind this. Behind the scenes, like, production everyone, like, watching them all, like, walk behind the people. They're like, oh, no. Can you.

[Noah]

Can you imagine Ariana when she leaves the set? Because while she's standing there, I just think about what Ariana's thinking the whole time. I'm like, Ariana's probably like. Like, did you notice how when she was talking about the other guys standing behind the door, she was like, oh, ace, you chose to stand behind Shelly's door. When Jeremiah went to go stand behind Iris's door. Ariana did not say, Jeremiah, you went to go stand behind Iris. And she was like, jeremiah, you have chosen a door. Because Ariana even knows.

[Ria]

On purpose. For sure. That's. Yeah, that's gotta build up the suspense.

[Noah]

Have to. But I'm like, Ariana's probably thinking Herself. Get me the off this. This set immediately. I gotta run out of here.

[Ria]

I can't wait to. I really will see on Thursday. I can't wait. Like I said before, I can't wait to hear Ace's explanation because, I mean, he wouldn't even shake her hands. It was like. He's like, no.

[Noah]

Yeah. He was like, hell no.

[Fran]

He did say. He said, hell no.

[Huda]

Nick's probably so confused. Like, wait, did I do something wrong? I'm so sorry.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

He slowly starts to scoot over to her side. Like, oh, I meant to do that. That's what I meant to. To do.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. I was. Nick has to get on his knees, be eye level with Ace.

[Ria]

Two, get down here.

[Fran]

Talk to me.

[Ria]

It's it. I get it for T. Like, I get it for Taylor sense, but also, like, Taylor is a big boy and like. And oh, like Alandria, if she didn't want to be with like, she was. She's pretty good. I think she could have just turned Jalen down and he, like, would have been fine. I don't think he, like, Jaylen didn't deserve to leave because of that. And I'm actually. I'm mad at Ace for that. I think that was really weird and stupid. That was like two. That was like, weirdly. That was like, weirdly very broy in like, does didn't make sense way.

[Noah]

The other.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Thing that we can throw out there is that maybe he. And I don't believe this, but this is what people are saying. They're like, well, maybe he just wants to do what Shelly wanted him to do.

[Ria]

No shot.

[Noah]

Has he shown Shelly really that much respect this entire time didn't go over.

[Huda]

Is there any chance that that sways, like, other people and that maybe Huda gets sent home?

[Noah]

Yeah. I think of Ace and like, even Shelly, I was shocked that she saved Huda.

[Huda]

Like, I think all the girls were like, once you saw like a couple go, they're like, we all have to.

[Ria]

Yeah. But I think, like, some of the couples at the end, if the numbers like, it's it. It started to become very obvious that Jalen wasn't going to have the numbers. So it's like, if you're in that mindset, it's like, well, I'll just stand by Huda. So I like, I'm in her good graces.

[Fran]

I agree.

[Ria]

You know, it's like, it's not close to. But if it was close enough, I think some people would have been swayed away from Huda because they would have been like, oh, well, if I'm Jalen's deciding vote, then Hood is gone, and we won't have to deal with the wrath of her being here. But clearly Jalen's not going to get it, so let's stand behind Hooda so she doesn't, you know, freak out on all of us.

[Noah]

Just a poor, poor choice. And they're gonna see that. They're all gonna realize that that was a poor decision.

[Fran]

It's not gonna get right. It's not gonna get better.

[Noah]

No, no, she's not all of a sudden, like, they were like, if she doesn't start moving different the next morning, it's like, no, they're now deeper into this. They are getting less sleep. They've been without their phone for a longer period. Amount of time. They've been cut off from the world entirely for longer now. Like, this is only. Emotions are only getting higher now.

[Fran]

Right?

[Noah]

You know, it's not gonna. It's not gonna get better, so.

[Ria]

Agreed.

[Noah]

We'll see what happens. And, Trent, thank you so much for recapping with us. And we're excited to hopefully have you keep recapping the rest of the show. You know, maybe not every. We don't. You know, we don't want to tie you down to too much, but whenever you feel like you got strong things to say about the show, you're always welcome.

[Fran]

Okay?

We need your reaction to what they explain what this is.

Oh, that soon?

[Noah]

Yeah, I would assume it's next week.

What time is it? It is game time. All right, everyone, we are here with a very, very special guest. We are joined by Charlie from Love Island. He made his exit from the villa to this podcast. Charlie, I'm so sorry. We are very happy to have you here. Sorry that you had to make your exit, though.

[Charlie]

Yeah, it's. It's one of those, like, thanks for having me. But obviously the way in which it happens, just completely brutal. Like, everybody saw to go through those last few days of, like, her head was turned and the ups and downs and confusion not knowing where it's going to go. And then to finally have this conversation where she basically chooses me. And I'm thinking, okay, this is it, you know, this is where we're going to embark on this journey. Now we've had our first, like, like, obstacle. Let's go through it. But then it just completely gets torn apart in, like, the most craziest way and brutal.

[Noah]

Completely out of your control. Now. Have you gotten your phone back?

[Charlie]

Nah, not till tomorrow.

[Noah]

Okay, got it. So you have not seen, obviously, the conversation. What's Going on and. And why, you know, America? Because it became this conversation where America basically became a fourth character, you know, another character on the show where everyone was like, America voted this way. Do you want to know any insight as to why America voted a certain way?

[Charlie]

Have you got. Can you tell me?

[Noah]

Well, I, I think we can. We weren't told. We couldn't tell you anything, I think because, you know, obviously the shocking result of Huda and Jeremiah, Jeremiah being with Iris, people thought that they were too locked into each other and maybe it was a bit toxic, like they were seeing into that and they wanted, you know, they wanted to break that up. Honestly, it was a petty, Petty reasons from America and, And the viewers as to why that happened. They were like, we gotta break these people up. We want to see what happens if we break them up. So definitely petty from the viewers. And then for your situation, I think it was because, you know, we were seeing Hannah in the speakeasy and, you know, the kisses that were happening between her and Pepe and there were a lot of K that were happening between them, and I think people had seen maybe, oh, she may be a little interested. And it wasn't until that night, unfortunately. I think everyone watching was probably a little, you know, mad at themselves being like, oh, gosh, if only this conversation happened one night earlier, Charlie would still be here. Or if the viewers weren't super petty and voted for Iris to be with Ace, then maybe somebody else would have went home who didn't have a connection and you would still be there.

[Charlie]

That's true. Wow. I did not know that. I mean, I know she was kissing him a lot, but I was kissing her a lot too, you know? Yeah, like. But I hear you completely. You know, it was. Honestly, it was just a bad timing issue. Yeah, it was just brutal timing. Like, yeah, you know, she had her head turned. She did what she did with Pepe. But I think it shows that, you know, what they say about those Leviathan and journeys of where people, you know, they're coupled up with somebody, they have their head turned, they, you know, go to the other side a bit, and then may. And maybe then it builds them back stronger. And I think people were seeing that in real time. That is genuinely what happens. But unfortunately, we didn't get to show each other our growth or, like, show the world our growth because it just got cut short. And now the fact that by technicality, just continuing the journey with that very guy, it's. It's like, it's brutal, man. Yeah, I get it. I Understand, America, I love you, but you really upset me.

[Ria]

No, it's. That's very fair. I think, like you said, we were watching it, and it did break all of our hearts to see you have this conversation, because really, the way that you two had that conversation was the quote, unquote, perfect way that viewers really want to have the contestants go about the show, because everyone always complains, oh, they're not exploring enough. They're not doing this or not doing that. And I thought Hannah actually handled it pretty well in the sense that she said, you know what? I explored, and I realized that it's actually you. We have the better connection.

[Noah]

And.

[Ria]

And it's there. And like you said, the timing was just unfortunate. What was going through your head when you kind of gave that last plea to the group before the vote to be like, guys, we just had this conversation. Hear me out.

[Charlie]

I thought, mate, I thought to the end, you know what I mean? I thought, if this is it now, then they haven't seen the conversation we've just had. I'm gonna say my piece, man. I'm gonna let it be known, like, we've just had this talk. We've got through the hurdle. No one else pitched. I pitched, you know, and I. And I did what I had to do, but it just didn't get into their brains, man. And you back to the conversation with Hannah as well. You're right. Like, I think she did. She didn't let outside influence get into her head. And I think that was something that was really amazing to. To see about her character towards the end, because the conversation I had with her at the beginning of the day, if you saw, I was a bit let down with it. Like, it didn't seem. It didn't, you know, but then she came back and was completely understanding of everything that had happened and understood, you know, the Amaya chat was like, let's be real. That chat was. What am I said? It was. It was me acting, like, out of confusion and, like, a bit of her and, like, well, thinking, if she's exploring, I have to. But that's. I didn't want to. I just felt like I had to, you know?

[Noah]

Yeah, I think that's honestly big of you to admit, because I think the viewers watching were kind of like, oh, is Charlie just having these chats? Because Hannah is. And you're kind of like. You're like, well, I might as well explore if she is. And how did you feel that it was Amaya who sent you home, especially after what had unfolded, you know, Very soon before that.

[Charlie]

Yeah. Proper disappointed about Amaya, because I'll tell you why. Amaya had come to me so much, and I'd comforted her and, like, give her support at times when she was crying. Me and Hannah were literally there for her. I always would check in on her because I felt sorry for. For the way that it started with her, and, like, you know, I was there for a man. And, you know, she told me in that conversation that our closest connection was. Was with Hannah. But then she also said in the conversation with Hannah, she understood why I did it. So I'm really confused and disappointed with why she voted me. Man. It's brutal. I felt like it's. It sucks because I always stuck up for her, and then, like, she, you know, completely destroyed me, and I just don't understand. She said she was close with Hannah, but then was she scared to go vote against the other girls? Is that what it was? Or was she just acting on a quick moment? Bear in mind, they really didn't know the conversation me and Hannah had. They probably thought that she was into Pepe still more. Who knows? Who knows? But that sucked, man. That sucked.

[Ria]

Do you think that there maybe is some blind support from the girls? It's just like, no matter what, we actually think we're gonna support the girls, you know, because it just. It feels like. Like they were like, oh, we're not. There's no way we're voting for Huda, even though maybe they might think that that would have been the right thing to do or bucks.

[Charlie]

Well, 100. And look at. You got to look at it, right? The girl was basically saved Huda, right? But the boys, right? This is why the boys. We're all boys. We're all friends. They still voted to. To. To dump Jeremiah's connection because that's what they felt was right. Right. So they. The boys weren't trying to save anybody. I feel like the girls are going to be girls with it. And they. They saved their girls, right? So they. Yeah, they. They obviously weren't gonna dump her. I feel like I was the easy vote girls, you know, I mean, I felt like I was the easy.

[Noah]

But.

[Charlie]

And I knew that, which is why I still had to make my. My. Say my piece, man.

[Fran]

But.

[Charlie]

And I'm one of these people as well, that, like, do you ever have an argument or a discussion and then the day later you think of what to say?

[Huda]

Me always.

[Noah]

You're in the shower, you're, like, playing it out. Yeah.

[Charlie]

Always the shower. Always the shower. Or on the Toilet.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

And I'm like, yo. I just. Like, not that I would have gone crate, like, but I just would have. I wanted to probe her mind or wet, like, why were you thinking Sierra's vote let me down as well? Because I'll tell you why. Me and Sierra came into the villa together as two bombshells, and she established connections quicker than me, and we'd have conversations where, like, she would see, like, you know, don't worry, like, a connection's gonna come. She knew I was trying hard to find it, and when I got it, like, she was supportive of that and the girl supporting, but then she voted to get me out. So I genuinely do think the girls were maybe saving, like, Alondra's, man.

[Ria]

And, like, yeah, this vote goes down, right? Is there any point. Points where everyone who's voting can talk to each other, or is it really just everyone has to go off their own individual votes? I like, the boys can all huddle up and the girls can all huddle up. They all. There was no time for that, right?

[Charlie]

No, no, they had to go off their own mind right there and then. And that was. That was why it was so brutal, man.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Because it. They didn't get to see. Had me and Hannah come downstairs earlier, they might have seen us really, like, touchy feely and giddy, and I would have been able to tell him, yeah, we're good, we're good, you know, but, yeah, there's no. There's no communication. There's no, like, chance for a tactical vote. They had to go off their head. Obviously. They had their own tactic, like, you know, but I mean, like, not constructing together, like, all right, let's get him. Because this. And. But yeah, they. They go off. They make their vote and. And then. Yeah, man.

[Noah]

Yeah. With the guys voting for Huda and, you know, kind of wanting to get her out of there. Are you caught up. Are you caught up with the episodes?

[Charlie]

So, look, I'll be honest with you. I. I tried watching it, and then I saw, like, that they sent Hannah on a date and that with Pepe, like, the day after. I'm not gonna lie. Like, I don't want to see that shit, man. You know what I mean? It's like, like, brutal. Sorry. Can I swear?

[Noah]

Yes. No, you're good. Hey, that's how you feel. You're good.

[Charlie]

Yeah, I don't want to see. That sucks, man. Like, you know, it's brutal. These are real. It's like, I can't help but feel like it should be me there Man. You know what I mean? So, yeah, so. But I've seen that Jaylin went last night and there's been a recoupling, and Jeremiah's gone with Iris. Good for him, mate.

[Noah]

Yes. Yeah. So that was gonna be my next question. And by the way, totally makes sense why you don't want to watch. Like, it's. It's a little soon, a little closer comfort right now. But I was gonna ask that in Villa. Did it feel the way that the viewers feel watching in terms of Jeremiah and Huda being, like, a very toxic relationship or situation that's going on? And do you feel like any of the islanders are a little scared to cross Huda?

[Charlie]

Wait, so you're asking, are they as toxic as it seems on the outside?

[Noah]

Yeah. Yes. And are people scared to, like, cross Huda, like, do anything to make her upset?

[Charlie]

Well, look, I think the relationship definitely was toxic. Look at it. Like, she got onto the guy about not making her pancakes on just one morning, you know, like, the guy was up every morning making a breakfast. The one morning he doesn't make a pancakes, and it's a big deal. There was little things. There were always. By the end of it. Yeah. There was more things that they were getting frustrated with each other about. And I always said it was never going to be a bombshell that. That tore them apart. It was going to be themselves, you know, I mean, the pressure they put on themselves. And I think she was just getting on to him about little things. And you could see the guy stressed out. And I'm thinking, dude, like, you know, I think it's tight. Like, you know, I mean, maybe look out elsewhere and stuff, but, yeah, there's that. In terms of do I think the girls are scared to cross Huda? She's definitely, like, obviously, maybe a stronger personality as a girl in there, but I don't know what they talk about in the makeup room. Maybe there is. Maybe I know that she, like, you know, had said things and probably had things talked about and stuff, but I don't see why you'd be scared of her, though. I don't understand why. What she's never like. I just think the girls are saving. I don't know, man. Maybe they could be. I don't know what's going on in their mind.

[Ria]

Right.

[Noah]

It's.

[Ria]

It's interesting to watch now, like you said, I know you're not. Haven't completely tuned in, but you. You saw the vote and just from so many of the girls saving her again. But we see a preview for you know, the coming episodes, and it really feels like the energy in the villa is like, hey, we. This can't go on like this. Like, she can't wear. So it's. It's conflicting because it seems like, okay, they. They don't want the two of them to keep fighting, but they. They. They're keeping her there, and it's just. They're just gonna keep fighting.

[Charlie]

Well, hold on. Who was it out of the vote to save Hadura and what. How did that.

[Ria]

So they all had to split up, and some had to stand behind Jalen, and some had to stand behind Huda and all the girls. Yeah, you see, all the girls stood behind Huda. And so did Ace.

[Noah]

And so did Ace. And. Wait, what? Yeah, so did Ace. I think that's what people were most shocked by. They were like, wait, Ace, who was going on about Huda, stood behind her to save her?

[Charlie]

Well, maybe. Look.

[Noah]

Maybe.

[Charlie]

Look, I mean, Jalen had only been in there a few days though, as well, and, like, you know, maybe that was another situation of we do know Huda more. Let's see, you know, give her a chance and give her time, you know?

[Noah]

Look.

[Charlie]

I can sympathize with her because I know what's happened. She's had her couple taken away by force, right? And now she's got to sit and watch, you know, Jeremiah grow with someone else. So I get it, man. Does it mean that she doesn't get a chance to explore? I don't know if people really wanted her of.

[Fran]

Out.

[Charlie]

Out the villa. They get her out the villa, but, you know, she's technically single. Like, maybe she's going to explore somebody as well. Do you know what I mean?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. I think the viewers would be happy to see both of them explore new opportunities and see if they can kind of grow from what has happened already. Going.

[Ria]

They just can't keep fighting.

[Noah]

Right. Going back to your situation, was there any part of you that thought or wanted Hannah to leave with you?

[Charlie]

So, look, like Love island is such a amazing, rare and unique experience that, like, look, just because I was robbed of it doesn't mean she should be robbed of it, too. Like, it's. We were just on that verge. Yeah. Like, we just. Maybe if another week or two, we were really, like, maybe she might have felt like that, but it never crossed my mind. And I just wouldn't put that on her like that because. Because it's just like, we were just getting there, man. And like I say, it's just such a rare, unique experience that I Wouldn't want to rob her of it. I got unfairly done, man. I don't think it's right, you know, like, let's be real with as well. I'm not being funny, but no one else was like me and Hannah in that villa, man. We were like giddy little children all the time, like, all over. Each of everyone else was, like, still working each other out. We just went straight into it. And that's the thing with me, yeah, girls, I just follow what I feel, you know, I'm not trying to play games in there. I'm going in there and if that means I make a stupid decision because I'm an idiot with it, I'm following my heart, then I'm going to make a stupid decision. If it means I'm gonna follow or chase this one girl, then that's how it is. But I think that's a good love island. It's specimen or experiment right there, you know, because I'm just gonna go with my heart and like is what it is. So, no, I don't think she should have left. I feel like they should put me back in there, mate, to go get back.

[Ria]

I love it.

[Noah]

I agree.

[Ria]

You know what, you're still out here fighting, which I love you, but that plead during the vote and you're saying it now, I, I do want to run a scenario by you if that doesn't happen and Hannah continues on and we, we saw you, you know, say goodbye to her and say, you know, promise me you'll. We'll talk after this and the whole thing. If she continues on the path that she's on and whatever happens with Pepe happens, or if she leaves and she's not really in a, a, in a, in a relationship or anything, but obviously if she's spending this time with Pepe now.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Would you, would you want to still talk to her?

[Charlie]

Look, the reality is she's now going to continue this journey in a very unique, confined, like, environment. She's gonna grow with him. That's the truth. You know, and whether they stick together or not, I don't know. But, yeah, like, look, I've only been out a few days, girls, you know, I mean, it's very raw and real for me still. I'll go home, decompress, assess it. I don't want to see it continue. But maybe it might be a thing if she comes out and the stars align where it's like, okay, let's link up because we did have a unique experience, but, you know, look, she might meet Somebody in there, man, that just might be the way of the world. And that's just part of my process where I just have to accept and, and do my own thing. So, yeah, look, if she comes out and you know, the pathways are right for us to at least have a coffee. Do you know what I mean? Like, but I can't sit here like that, man. It's, it's, it's crazy.

[Noah]

I mean.

[Ria]

[Noah]

Yeah. I want to ask you what the process is like leaving the villa and then, you know, you're back in a hotel room. You still don't really have access us to the outside world. What is the thought process? Like where, where's your mind at? What are you doing to kind of distract yourself through the days?

[Charlie]

Oh, mate, that. So when I got back, yeah, like at the time when I've just got firstly dumped the adrenaline and shock and you black out a bit and everything's gone. Like, I didn't even think I'd said goodbye to her properly. But then when I've looked back, I still managed to say my piece. I got back to the hotel, everything flushed out and then I was like a little baby, mate. Like, I was like, what? Like, I can't believe it. Because I genuinely felt like I'd just been taken away from this girl that I was just establishing a real connection with. And it was really hard. I was like, what's happened then? The next day I was angry. The next day I was like, they voted for Me, like, why would they do, like, what's there? And then, you know, it is difficult for a person like me. Like, my. I'm an overthinker. I'm always thinking I. And stuff. So to go back into the hotel room and just have to deal with everything that's just happened but not have any access really to. You've got to process it, man. You go through it and you just got to kind of channel it. And today is probably the better day that I felt. But the first two days, you might see some social media stuff where I'm just looking devastating.

[Noah]

Do you have. Do you have anybody to talk to there? Or is it, you know, sort of just like the people who are working on the show? Have you been able to contact family, any of that or not yet?

[Charlie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, you've got all good support and everything. You're not just left, like, you're not just.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlie]

You know, everybody's great. You get out and still. You still, like, you know, you get to speak to people. I still get to call my mom and that. You know, I mean, and speak to my fam. So it's all that. It's just, you know, the in between bits of being in a room just thinking. Because guys, like, for the last two weeks, all I've known is the village. You know what I mean? Everything that's happened, happened is Villa stuff. I don't. So you're just thinking about what's gone down and then you're thinking, I should have said this or I should have done that. And that's the worst. When you get stuck in the vortex of Krishna Woulda.

[Noah]

Yeah, like. Or huda shoulda woulda. But yeah, Charlie, I. I think that the best thing that you can remember is that you really had no control over this. Like, this was not up to you, you guys. I mean, we saw it was kind of like the perfect recipe, like Fran said earlier. Like. Like Hannah explored. She came back. Love island recipe. And the viewers voted and end up in a. In a favor your way, you know, so you. If you just remind yourself, like, it just. It didn't have anything to do with what you did.

[Charlie]

100. And I appreciate that. Like, it's true. That's the thing. Sometimes you just gotta let go and let the universe take over. Do you know what I mean? You gotta go with, okay, this happened is what it is. Where am I going to go next? Look, like last year would I ever thought I'd be on the violin USA speaking to the girls Right now. Do you know what I mean?

[Fran]

Like, yeah, it's.

[Charlie]

I'm blown away. I'm just a lad from Birmingham that's managed to get. You know, I'm in. In the villa with all, like. It's hilarious. So, yeah, look, I'm. I want to do my thing. And it is. And from what I've heard as well, from what I've heard, the little I've heard is that people kind of, like, get where I would like much, not sympathize, but understand, like, this. It was a brutal way to go and I went out on my shield. I fought to the end and, like, did what I did, man.

[Ria]

So, yeah, there's.

[Noah]

It's.

[Ria]

It's. I know you don't have your phone, so you probably haven't even seen it, but you. You have one of the saddest departure photos from.

[Fran]

Really.

[Noah]

Oh, it's heartbreaking.

[Ria]

Oh, you're standing in the doorway, you.

[Noah]

Have your luggage and you.

[Ria]

And you're like that. This, like.

[Charlie]

It's like that one, man.

[Noah]

I told him.

[Charlie]

I told him. That's actually brutal.

[Noah]

It's a. It's a heartbreaking photograph. It is.

[Ria]

And honestly, it is.

[Fran]

So annoyed.

[Charlie]

I smiled after. I smiled after.

[Noah]

Can I.

[Ria]

No.

[Noah]

Can I show you how we all.

[Ria]

It matched how we all.

[Noah]

Do you think I'll get in trouble if I show you? If we. Here, you can put it in front of the camera.

[Charlie]

Let's see, let's see. Wait, it's blurry. Let me see.

[Ria]

There's. It's not going to focus.

[Charlie]

This.

[Ria]

This is. I mean, it's so far away.

[Noah]

So far away.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlie]

Yes, B. Let's see here.

[Noah]

We're gonna zoom in the camera, so we'll see.

[Charlie]

Damn. No way, man. Folks sake, what do they want me to do? Like, it's like people that are listening, like, yeah, this is like a game show, whatever, but it's real emotions, man. Like, it's all real. Like, you. You get.

[Noah]

No, it's sad. I just wanted you to see it. But we're not making fun. We're actually felt. Actually felt bad.

[Charlie]

Yeah, yeah. Like, it was a good. It's. Look, you re. Real emotions, you know, you. I felt like I was going to embark, like, have a great journey with it, and it got taken away and, you know, you fought, you fall for people, you build emotions and relations, and it's real, man. It's real and it's hard. It's hard.

[Noah]

Well, so the Internet is being like, bring him back for casa more. Bring him back For Casa More.

[Ria]

And it would be good because we know that you would. We know that you would fight for it. So.

[Charlie]

Well, like, yeah, I think Casa would be a different one because if she's in there, like, but then I'd only be limited to her, like, because the other girls would probably go for the other boys. But, like, not saying it like that, but, I mean, in terms of. I think it could be better if I just walked in, man, one day, you know, say, if they were progressing.

[Ria]

Let me. Bombshell again.

[Charlie]

Bombshell. The guy that bombshelled me. Do you know what I'm saying? Let's see, then. All right, mate, you got her by technicality. Now I'm back to. You know what I mean?

[Fran]

Yeah, be good.

[Charlie]

And if it didn't work out after that, it didn't work out, but at least I had my redemption. Do you know what I mean?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Right. What.

[Ria]

What drew you to Love island over? Like, obviously, you know, you. Like we said love. There is Love island uk, but what drew you to Love island usa?

[Charlie]

All right, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. So basically, last year I had a bit of a holiday romance with an American girl from LA and basically really fell for her. Whilst I was with her, she kept going on about this Love island season 6 and how amazing it is. And I was like, oh, yeah. Because, you know, she was like, you know, we all know about The Lev Island UK 1. What do you think? And I was like, oh, yeah, cool. So I checked it out a bit, and she often joked, like, if he did it. And when it didn't work out and she had to go back to LA and I couldn't come, and I was devastated about it and I had to let it go type thing and be like, it just. It was one of those situationships that just didn't work out. And I was gutted. And then we basically dropped connection, like, communication. And, like, I was like, you know what? Yeah, I feel like this isn't the last. I'm gonna apply for the violin season seven. And I'm. This is crazy. And I'm sitting there and I've applied for this show. I find a casting agent. I go, you're right. Can British people apply for Laval in usa? And she was like, sure. So I apply, and week by week, like, more people are speaking to me, and it's kind of making progress. Then I moved to Australia because I need to see my family anyway. And I'm thinking, okay, if this happens, I want to get tanned already. I want to get in good shape. And it just kept going on. And then all of a sudden, months have gone by. I'm completely. Don't think about this girl anymore now. It's. I'm thinking about. I'm going onto the viol. Usa. What the. What the Am I doing? And then. Yeah, man. Like, I go to Fiji and then, mate. To go in as an early bombshell, to have that, like, intro like badass. And I just think manifestations. Real Manifestation is real. It was crazy. But that's how. So if I never met that girl, then I would not be here.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Do you think she's like, I told him about this damn show. I should be on there 100, mate.

[Charlie]

Like, she's probably thinking, what the. Is my British romance?

[Noah]

Oh, my God.

[Charlie]

Like, she's. It didn't end badly or anything. Like. Or whatever. But it would be. I wonder if she has seen it now. Like, it would be crazy. But, you know, my head.

[Noah]

She's definitely. So you definitely have. You're gonna get your phone back tomorrow and you're gonna have texts from her tomorrow. 100. Yeah, unfortunately, we have to wrap up, Charlie. I keep. I keep getting the signal. Otherwise we would keep talking to you.

[Ria]

So much more. So many more questions.

[Noah]

So many more questions. But you're probably busy. Thank you so much for joining us. We're hoping maybe, you know, there'll be a shot where they're like, hey, you're staying here. We're gonna throw you back in. Another bombshell. I know people are rooting for that, but thank you so much.

[Charlie]
