So much so, Mel refused to sleep with the group and KC seemingly made a play for Sol. Then an innocent game of soccer turns the heat up on a potential KC, Sol connection that sends Aniya over the edge and Amy and T.J. each have thoughts on her reaction.

Speaker 1: Hey that folks. It is Monday, June fifteenth, and Love Island, season eight, episode eleven is now in the books. And well, some of this hit a little close to home, shall we saying?
00:00:15
Speaker 2: With that?
00:00:15
Speaker 1: Welcome to this episode of Amy and DJ Rhobes. It's back. They were off on Saturday night. We didn't watch the after the Sun it's called, so we skip those, so we're back to watch the actual episode that aired. Bunch of themes, bunch of big themes. But it started off with a bunch of big tears.
00:00:32
Speaker 3: It did.
00:00:32
Speaker 2: Everyone was crying. Gabe was crying over Beatrice. That was a little awkward with Jen to begin with, and then Mel and Soul. Mel can't stop crying. Then she starts asking Soul, did you kiss him? Soul's like yeah, She's like how many times? It's like she's just a glutton.
00:00:52
Speaker 1: For Punishment's torturing herself.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: Do you want to know the details?
00:00:55
Speaker 1: But hey, isn't that a normal thing? And then a normal I wouldn't say a woman thing, but just in a relateationship, when you get out of a relationship, you don't even have to confirm that they're dating somebody else. You just wonder where they are, wonder what they're doing.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yes, but I know that knowing what's happening gives you a visual that you don't need, so I just can't help.
00:01:15
Speaker 3: I would rather not know, but that's just me. And then I thought it was sweet.
00:01:19
Speaker 2: Corbyn really did a sweet job consoling Mel over Sincere. And yet then Mel responded with that by refusing to sleep in the same room with Corbyn and Sincere. So she actually that was that was probably not a great start to this episode.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Okay, don he doesn't want to be with her in the first place. He's already got his eyes on Kinzie and Corbyn, so he were going to talk about it, but he.
00:01:45
Speaker 3: Said he was open. He's always like, hey, you want to kiss me.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: He's trying to He's open everybody. Yeah, he has a conversation with freaking Zach. He'll say, hey, Zach, you don't about a kiss. You just want to play this out. But Gabe, what did you take babes crying in tears seemed to be authentic about beats being gone.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: It did, and actually it was very sweet. But we'll get to more on Gabe in a moment, because yes he did cry. But I think the therapist say, once you can actually let that feeling exists, you recognize it and then you can let it pass through you. And that's exactly what Gabe did, because by the next day he was all about Jen, and that pissed off some of the girls.
00:02:22
Speaker 1: Okay, but Jin will on the one thing. On Jin, I felt bad for her. She's sitting here with the guy she's coupled up with. He's crying over another woman.
00:02:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough, it's not easy.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Jin's been kind of solid.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: She has She hasn't made waves because she's been respectful. So yeah, she's not been a part of the drama, which is why most people don't even know who she is. But she actually, I think is very respectful and cool. She has been letting him go through his emotions. But look the next day he seemed to be kind of over it. And you heard all those girls talking ooh, look at Gabe making out with her, and like upset for Beatrice, And what is he supposed to do? This is a game, This wasn't his girlfriend. She left the villa. Isn't he supposed to start exploring? Time is limited? Like, I just was surprised they were throwing shade at him back.
00:03:17
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you're surprised, because you have been educating me throughout this show on some things that women do that surprise me. This one did not. I guess it did not, because they immediately write with themselves in this position of what he's supposed to sit a day out of respect. I give it a beat. That's weird, like if you move on so quickly, that means this other thing didn't mean enough to you. And I don't think that's the case, no, frankly. But that's where they went, and I wasn't surprised that they went there.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: Okay, but how about this? Were you surprised? Is Casey making a play for soul? Because it kind of seems like he is.
00:03:55
Speaker 1: I don't think he's making a real one, but I do think he he likes that she likes him, She likes like he's been very comforting to a lot of people. Yes, it seems to made a lot of sense. Casey has been the star of the show in my opinion. He's just been solid throughout I and he has helped her throughout. He's helped a lot of folks. And I think she's getty and She's cute and she's warm, and I think the most comfortable I think I've seen her on the show is when she's talking to Casey really so he likes that, and so yeah, Robes. In the back of his mind, he's thinking, well, maybe, or at least what if. I don't think he's gonna pursue her. But I think in the back of his mind, what if if she gives him too much of a signal Casey he'd be interested.
00:04:42
Speaker 2: However, that's what I'm wondering because he's kind of been tiptoeing around this. And we'll get into this in just a bit, but a central focus of the drama this episode, surprisingly was with Casey and Anayah. They have been solid, solid, but this episode not so much. And could we should we blame Zach the potstir or is he just a truth teller?
00:05:09
Speaker 1: No, we shouldn't blame Zach.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's what happened.
00:05:14
Speaker 2: You did not love and I get it, and you know what, honestly it was kind of boring the soccer challenge. It was boring, But this is where the controversy erupted, and you I think, can I just tell everyone we were on a train. We were on a train from Amsterdam to Brussels. You might have dozed off during the challenge, the soccer challenge because it involved okay, okay, so that's fair. But I did watch it, so yes, it was kind of boring. They had to it involved. There wasn't as much kissing. At least you only had to make out with your actual partner, so that doesn't seem as gross.
00:05:47
Speaker 3: But it had slime. It had all the things you hate.
00:05:50
Speaker 1: Yep.
00:05:50
Speaker 3: So at what point, at.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: One point, after you fill up your soccer bowl with enough slime, they give you some controversial question to pick one islander, and so there was a question about Basically, it was like which person thinks that their partnership or their couple is so strong that they haven't even pursued other people, even though they might want to.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: So Zach puts it on KC.
00:06:21
Speaker 2: Okay, and then when they ask, hey, why did you do that to case he says, well, I'm pretty sure Casey was into or considering or at least attracted to Soul, and he didn't because he was just like, yeah, I don't want to mess up what I got. WHOA them are fighting words to Anaya.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: Okay, are those fighting words to you? Should those be fighting words?
00:06:45
Speaker 2: No? Because you're not in a long term relationship, and to hear that the partner with that might make you feel a little bit like, Okay, I'm hearing you.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: He might have been interested in this other girl for whatever.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: Reason he didn't, but I wouldn't have immediately felt like he was an attack on me.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: Okay, you're speaking very practically right now, sweetness, and you're usually tell me that I need to consider that women are speaking emotionally.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: That's true.
00:07:09
Speaker 1: So what you're saying fine and dandy. And you said something very key there. You said you're not in a long term relationship, but they're in a committed one. At this point, these folks in this house think they are in a committed relationship. And so at this point, Robes.
00:07:29
Speaker 3: This felt like a betrayal to her.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: The idea that it crossed his mind right put him in the doghouse.
00:07:38
Speaker 2: But the other thing is, look, and I understand what you're saying, but you have to acknowledge. Look, she has chosen not to be attracted or she has not spoken about one other guy.
00:07:48
Speaker 1: Ever, he hasn't either spoken about another woman.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: He hasn't, so that's why it was so shocking to her to hear that he had without her knowing it. But you know, like, you still have to knowledge it's a game. You still have to acknowledge that you are there to explore. And I guess unless they said, hey, are we not exploring anymore? If there wasn't that agreement, then you have to at least give space for the fact that that's part of what you're supposed to be doing in Love Island.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Okay, but here is where you and I we were sitting across each other from the train making eyes at each other as the scene was playing out, because this was wild, this was incredible. Because of goodness, Robes, haven't we all seen this scenario play out before. Case is getting a little annoyed, Case is finally getting close to being Now I'm not gonna say over it, but Robes, you have given him compliment after compliment, episode after episode. Then, no matter what it is, if she's upset, if she's uncomfortable, the first thing he does is stops, listens, validates, and says I'm sorry.
00:08:56
Speaker 3: He does.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: This is where I'm coming from. This is what happened. This is what I'm thinking. Now here we go once again, a scenario in which he never pulled another woman for conversation. He never expressed an interest in pulling another woman for a conversation. He just said something to his boy man, that girl is hot and maybe maybe if I wasn't already in a thing, I would I would pursue that. Now you tell me, babe, is that enough for him to be no in trouble?
00:09:33
Speaker 3: But here was the funny thing.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: So she was already upset just by what you said, right, nothing else. She's sitting there talking to Zach and Kita about it and kind of confronting them, why did you say this?
00:09:44
Speaker 3: I need to know? And then all of a sudden they look around and they're.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Like, where's case And Casey had pulled Soul at that point.
00:09:51
Speaker 3: The timing was everything. So that was the final straw.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: And when the confrontation happened, when Anaya sees that he has pulled Soul after all of this, and she comes storming up and says and she pulls him and wants.
00:10:05
Speaker 3: To talk to him, and that when we were like.
00:10:07
Speaker 1: Oh boy, but we step back and we are listening when we ask you all, what is it? Casey should have done differently. Well, probably not pull Soul right after all of that. So when you're on Love Island, do not talk to other women. If you have been talking to one woman for we're going.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: To he coupled up, you should probably just say, hey, I want to let you know I'm going to talk to a couple other people.
00:10:33
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, baby, he pulled that girl not to talk to her about dating down the road. He's pulled several people for conversations for conversation.
00:10:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he knew that that was obviously the lightning ro Okay.
00:10:46
Speaker 1: So here we go. So this is what Casey has done wrong is he didn't recognize that his woman has an issue with that woman and that he needs to keep a certain.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: Distance because of what he said about that woman.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm trying. Okay you again. I need you just for all the fellows out there, I need you all to put this in a succinct one. Just just summon up for me. Casey should have done better by doing what.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: The only thing where I saw him actually make a misstep was after he already knew she was upset about the Soul comment that Zach made. He shouldn't have then gone and pulled Seoul without first telling her, Hey, I'm going to go pull Soeul and talk about everything that's going down. Okay, that's the only misstep he made, and she was upset before then, so but that's right.
00:11:36
Speaker 1: Before he pulled her.
00:11:38
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he made a mistake.
00:11:40
Speaker 1: Oh, man was wild. It was wild to watch. It really really was, because you finally Casey, and we were laughing a little about it, but also a little disappointed that maybe their bond is about to yeah shake a little bit. Maybe they need a test. We see this all the time in the he was you finally heard him, and we were listening to it in air pods. I think is the first time we listened to an episode in with the AirPods. Yeah, so you heard it was funny, deep breath of his and it was authentic, just what else?
00:12:09
Speaker 3: Like what he was saying?
00:12:11
Speaker 1: What more can I do? What more can I say? I'm sorry for?
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, he felt he felt exhausted and frustrated, I think is the best way to put it. And it's funny because that is why they do these challenges. That challenge, that soccer challenge was so boring but what they got out of it was one comment that Zach made that created the entire, like, the biggest drama building part of episode eleven. And so that is why they put those games that seems silly. They usually get one kernel out of them. So when we come back, we're going to talk about the other couples. Zach and Kada a little bit to talk about there, Jen and Gabe a lot to talk about there, and then Kenzie and mel and Corbin and Caleb what the hell is going on with them? Welcome back everyone. We are talking Love Island USA, Season eight, Episode eleven, And yeah, there was a decent amount of drama, even though everyone's kind of recoupled at this point.
00:13:24
Speaker 3: Not everybody's with who they want to be apparently.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see were you awake when Kenzie and Corbyn started making out again?
00:13:33
Speaker 1: Yeah? I saw that one.
00:13:35
Speaker 3: What was that all about it?
00:13:36
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, they seem you actually said, do you like those two together?
00:13:41
Speaker 2: I kind of do. I feel like they just kind of fit each other. I don't know, there's something about them, and I think maybe now that they're forced to be with others, the forbidden Fruit even seems sexier.
00:13:54
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: That he's not feeling Melanie at this point. He's not Okay, they just need to He's not Melanie slapping in the wind right now, and so it's kind of Caleb Caleb, bless his heart, I needed to get head back to the Carolinas.
00:14:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's struggling a little bit because, Yeah, when he went to go talk to Kenzy about it, because he even said, like, Hey, sometimes I see I know that you were once in a couple with Corbin, but I feel like when I see you all together, it feels like you all are still in a couple. And so yeah, sometimes you should believe what people show you. And I kind of think he knows it. So he said he was cool with it to Kenzie. But then he goes straight back to the guys and says, yeah, I think I need to start playing the field so that yes, I think we are all now rooting for Kenzy and Corbyn to get back together. But that leaves mel up in the air, That leaves Caleb up in the air. And then look, Jen and Gabe, I you know what, they're also kind of perfect for each other. I gotta say some of the dialogue. I like kissing you. I like kissing you too. I've never had a complaint before, neither have I. This is what we get to hear back and forth between those two conversationalists.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: It's a it was It wasn't that the funny one that they were talking. She made some comment about you're not my type. You're not usually when I don't say this, he said, but you're so I love you. We connect so well, and your personality is so great.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: He he goes, oh, I've never had anyone tell me they like me for my personality.
00:15:30
Speaker 3: He was pissed. He was offended him.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: That she liked him for him, because he only wants people to like him for how he looks.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: It was hilarious.
00:15:43
Speaker 2: He doesn't even know that that's actually an unbelievable compliment because clearly the guy is hot. Obviously, he doesn't need to be told he's good looking.
00:15:52
Speaker 3: He knows he is.
00:15:53
Speaker 2: So if she's able to say, hey, you're not usually my type, but I just love your personality and he got offended, it was fun and sad. Oh my god, it was kind of amazing. So I'm here for that relationship because again, getting to hear their conversation to me is worth its weight in gold.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: You know I am ready. I'm kind of Kayle and Zach just do your thing they need to not they're in a relationship. Doesn't matter what bombshell comes in. It didn't matter. Now. That was one key moment. They were going to bed at night, the cameras were still rolling. They were whispering to each other. This was interesting.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Roes, you loved this, and I agree it was very interesting. And I want to ask you what you think because I have my thoughts on why he said it, But he basically was telling her I don't think we should basically move so fast. I don't think we should do so many things physically physically in case someone comes in and catches one of our eyes and one of us is going to have to sleep in bed next to the other. I think he was watching Mel be so upset about what happened with Sincere that she couldn't even sleep in the room with any of them, and he's thinking, God, if I get too into this girl, this is where my head went, then I might be putting myself in a really unbelievably impossible situation. So I want to take it slow because I don't want to get hurt. But she took it as, Hey, I'm distancing myself from you because I might want to be with another girl and I don't want you to get too upset or too attached.
00:17:24
Speaker 1: I took it as a third way. That's so funny, third one. And I think Zach, I do think he's a good like a decent day I do too, a decent dude. He from the opening episode has been hurting people's feelings by being honest, yes, by being himself, by being Oh. He hasn't been rude. He has been kind, He has been open. He was even cool with Bryce when Bryce said I want to go after your girl. Absolutely, Zach has been solid. I think Zach is so afraid of once again somebody of once again doing damage to somebody, of once again maybe even looking bad to America. But once you cross the line with Cada, what if somebody comes in you have to do this big game again. Somebody straddles him and she had to kiss somebody in some game after he just went a little went to third base.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: Well they're going, they're making a home run. Now.
00:18:24
Speaker 2: She made it very harsh. They got picked to go to the hideaway, and she said, we are doing everything. Yes, she told America, we are having sex tonight.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: Okay, So with that, the point is this relationship is solid. They are getting married obviously once.
00:18:42
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: Does anyone know the song Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf, It is literally the song that basically speaks to this notion that once a woman has sex with you, she expects you to marry her. Say the name of movie and Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I've never it is amazing, and you must be. I think you'll actually love it.
00:19:02
Speaker 1: That was a wild reference. There's another one of them.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: It is an apropos one, because it is this notion that once a woman has sex with you, she.
00:19:10
Speaker 3: Thinks you're getting married.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: Well yeah, so yes, that was kind of like his concern. But let's see what happens. Ain't no way he's turning her down tonight or last night, Ain't no.
00:19:22
Speaker 1: Way, who knows, But any no matter what, even though they don't go bad far, they're going to go far enough to where there's no coming back. Correct from that?
00:19:30
Speaker 3: Correct, and they're sorry, no send anybody in.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: This is done. We are in a relationship. This so now those two are on Temptation Island at this point.
00:19:41
Speaker 2: You're so right, because, by the way, any girl watching who's going to be voting this week, if Zach does anything to hurt Kada, now he's done.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Oh Zach, he can't mess up the eggs in the morning now.
00:19:52
Speaker 3: Nope, got to get him exactly right.
00:19:54
Speaker 1: I have a question. What would happen if they flip it up and the woman started making breakfast with the guys.
00:19:59
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's terribly Oh yes, that's so sexist.
00:20:03
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Sexist?
00:20:06
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. What if just the woman on her own own decides to get up You know, I'm gonna make my man.
00:20:10
Speaker 3: Break Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
00:20:12
Speaker 1: Why can't It won't.
00:20:14
Speaker 3: Wow, it won't be. It won't be. But we'll be watching, and we always appreciate you listening. Everyone. I made me roboch alongside DJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
00:20:25
Speaker 2: H
Speaker 1: Hey that folks. It is Monday, June fifteenth, and Love Island, season eight, episode eleven is now in the books. And well, some of this hit a little close to home, shall we saying?
00:00:15
Speaker 2: With that?
00:00:15
Speaker 1: Welcome to this episode of Amy and DJ Rhobes. It's back. They were off on Saturday night. We didn't watch the after the Sun it's called, so we skip those, so we're back to watch the actual episode that aired. Bunch of themes, bunch of big themes. But it started off with a bunch of big tears.
00:00:32
Speaker 3: It did.
00:00:32
Speaker 2: Everyone was crying. Gabe was crying over Beatrice. That was a little awkward with Jen to begin with, and then Mel and Soul. Mel can't stop crying. Then she starts asking Soul, did you kiss him? Soul's like yeah, She's like how many times? It's like she's just a glutton.
00:00:52
Speaker 1: For Punishment's torturing herself.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: Do you want to know the details?
00:00:55
Speaker 1: But hey, isn't that a normal thing? And then a normal I wouldn't say a woman thing, but just in a relateationship, when you get out of a relationship, you don't even have to confirm that they're dating somebody else. You just wonder where they are, wonder what they're doing.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yes, but I know that knowing what's happening gives you a visual that you don't need, so I just can't help.
00:01:15
Speaker 3: I would rather not know, but that's just me. And then I thought it was sweet.
00:01:19
Speaker 2: Corbyn really did a sweet job consoling Mel over Sincere. And yet then Mel responded with that by refusing to sleep in the same room with Corbyn and Sincere. So she actually that was that was probably not a great start to this episode.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Okay, don he doesn't want to be with her in the first place. He's already got his eyes on Kinzie and Corbyn, so he were going to talk about it, but he.
00:01:45
Speaker 3: Said he was open. He's always like, hey, you want to kiss me.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: He's trying to He's open everybody. Yeah, he has a conversation with freaking Zach. He'll say, hey, Zach, you don't about a kiss. You just want to play this out. But Gabe, what did you take babes crying in tears seemed to be authentic about beats being gone.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: It did, and actually it was very sweet. But we'll get to more on Gabe in a moment, because yes he did cry. But I think the therapist say, once you can actually let that feeling exists, you recognize it and then you can let it pass through you. And that's exactly what Gabe did, because by the next day he was all about Jen, and that pissed off some of the girls.
00:02:22
Speaker 1: Okay, but Jin will on the one thing. On Jin, I felt bad for her. She's sitting here with the guy she's coupled up with. He's crying over another woman.
00:02:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough, it's not easy.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Jin's been kind of solid.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: She has She hasn't made waves because she's been respectful. So yeah, she's not been a part of the drama, which is why most people don't even know who she is. But she actually, I think is very respectful and cool. She has been letting him go through his emotions. But look the next day he seemed to be kind of over it. And you heard all those girls talking ooh, look at Gabe making out with her, and like upset for Beatrice, And what is he supposed to do? This is a game, This wasn't his girlfriend. She left the villa. Isn't he supposed to start exploring? Time is limited? Like, I just was surprised they were throwing shade at him back.
00:03:17
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you're surprised, because you have been educating me throughout this show on some things that women do that surprise me. This one did not. I guess it did not, because they immediately write with themselves in this position of what he's supposed to sit a day out of respect. I give it a beat. That's weird, like if you move on so quickly, that means this other thing didn't mean enough to you. And I don't think that's the case, no, frankly. But that's where they went, and I wasn't surprised that they went there.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: Okay, but how about this? Were you surprised? Is Casey making a play for soul? Because it kind of seems like he is.
00:03:55
Speaker 1: I don't think he's making a real one, but I do think he he likes that she likes him, She likes like he's been very comforting to a lot of people. Yes, it seems to made a lot of sense. Casey has been the star of the show in my opinion. He's just been solid throughout I and he has helped her throughout. He's helped a lot of folks. And I think she's getty and She's cute and she's warm, and I think the most comfortable I think I've seen her on the show is when she's talking to Casey really so he likes that, and so yeah, Robes. In the back of his mind, he's thinking, well, maybe, or at least what if. I don't think he's gonna pursue her. But I think in the back of his mind, what if if she gives him too much of a signal Casey he'd be interested.
00:04:42
Speaker 2: However, that's what I'm wondering because he's kind of been tiptoeing around this. And we'll get into this in just a bit, but a central focus of the drama this episode, surprisingly was with Casey and Anayah. They have been solid, solid, but this episode not so much. And could we should we blame Zach the potstir or is he just a truth teller?
00:05:09
Speaker 1: No, we shouldn't blame Zach.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's what happened.
00:05:14
Speaker 2: You did not love and I get it, and you know what, honestly it was kind of boring the soccer challenge. It was boring, But this is where the controversy erupted, and you I think, can I just tell everyone we were on a train. We were on a train from Amsterdam to Brussels. You might have dozed off during the challenge, the soccer challenge because it involved okay, okay, so that's fair. But I did watch it, so yes, it was kind of boring. They had to it involved. There wasn't as much kissing. At least you only had to make out with your actual partner, so that doesn't seem as gross.
00:05:47
Speaker 3: But it had slime. It had all the things you hate.
00:05:50
Speaker 1: Yep.
00:05:50
Speaker 3: So at what point, at.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: One point, after you fill up your soccer bowl with enough slime, they give you some controversial question to pick one islander, and so there was a question about Basically, it was like which person thinks that their partnership or their couple is so strong that they haven't even pursued other people, even though they might want to.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: So Zach puts it on KC.
00:06:21
Speaker 2: Okay, and then when they ask, hey, why did you do that to case he says, well, I'm pretty sure Casey was into or considering or at least attracted to Soul, and he didn't because he was just like, yeah, I don't want to mess up what I got. WHOA them are fighting words to Anaya.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: Okay, are those fighting words to you? Should those be fighting words?
00:06:45
Speaker 2: No? Because you're not in a long term relationship, and to hear that the partner with that might make you feel a little bit like, Okay, I'm hearing you.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: He might have been interested in this other girl for whatever.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: Reason he didn't, but I wouldn't have immediately felt like he was an attack on me.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: Okay, you're speaking very practically right now, sweetness, and you're usually tell me that I need to consider that women are speaking emotionally.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: That's true.
00:07:09
Speaker 1: So what you're saying fine and dandy. And you said something very key there. You said you're not in a long term relationship, but they're in a committed one. At this point, these folks in this house think they are in a committed relationship. And so at this point, Robes.
00:07:29
Speaker 3: This felt like a betrayal to her.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: The idea that it crossed his mind right put him in the doghouse.
00:07:38
Speaker 2: But the other thing is, look, and I understand what you're saying, but you have to acknowledge. Look, she has chosen not to be attracted or she has not spoken about one other guy.
00:07:48
Speaker 1: Ever, he hasn't either spoken about another woman.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: He hasn't, so that's why it was so shocking to her to hear that he had without her knowing it. But you know, like, you still have to knowledge it's a game. You still have to acknowledge that you are there to explore. And I guess unless they said, hey, are we not exploring anymore? If there wasn't that agreement, then you have to at least give space for the fact that that's part of what you're supposed to be doing in Love Island.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Okay, but here is where you and I we were sitting across each other from the train making eyes at each other as the scene was playing out, because this was wild, this was incredible. Because of goodness, Robes, haven't we all seen this scenario play out before. Case is getting a little annoyed, Case is finally getting close to being Now I'm not gonna say over it, but Robes, you have given him compliment after compliment, episode after episode. Then, no matter what it is, if she's upset, if she's uncomfortable, the first thing he does is stops, listens, validates, and says I'm sorry.
00:08:56
Speaker 3: He does.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: This is where I'm coming from. This is what happened. This is what I'm thinking. Now here we go once again, a scenario in which he never pulled another woman for conversation. He never expressed an interest in pulling another woman for a conversation. He just said something to his boy man, that girl is hot and maybe maybe if I wasn't already in a thing, I would I would pursue that. Now you tell me, babe, is that enough for him to be no in trouble?
00:09:33
Speaker 3: But here was the funny thing.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: So she was already upset just by what you said, right, nothing else. She's sitting there talking to Zach and Kita about it and kind of confronting them, why did you say this?
00:09:44
Speaker 3: I need to know? And then all of a sudden they look around and they're.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Like, where's case And Casey had pulled Soul at that point.
00:09:51
Speaker 3: The timing was everything. So that was the final straw.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: And when the confrontation happened, when Anaya sees that he has pulled Soul after all of this, and she comes storming up and says and she pulls him and wants.
00:10:05
Speaker 3: To talk to him, and that when we were like.
00:10:07
Speaker 1: Oh boy, but we step back and we are listening when we ask you all, what is it? Casey should have done differently. Well, probably not pull Soul right after all of that. So when you're on Love Island, do not talk to other women. If you have been talking to one woman for we're going.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: To he coupled up, you should probably just say, hey, I want to let you know I'm going to talk to a couple other people.
00:10:33
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, baby, he pulled that girl not to talk to her about dating down the road. He's pulled several people for conversations for conversation.
00:10:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he knew that that was obviously the lightning ro Okay.
00:10:46
Speaker 1: So here we go. So this is what Casey has done wrong is he didn't recognize that his woman has an issue with that woman and that he needs to keep a certain.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: Distance because of what he said about that woman.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm trying. Okay you again. I need you just for all the fellows out there, I need you all to put this in a succinct one. Just just summon up for me. Casey should have done better by doing what.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: The only thing where I saw him actually make a misstep was after he already knew she was upset about the Soul comment that Zach made. He shouldn't have then gone and pulled Seoul without first telling her, Hey, I'm going to go pull Soeul and talk about everything that's going down. Okay, that's the only misstep he made, and she was upset before then, so but that's right.
00:11:36
Speaker 1: Before he pulled her.
00:11:38
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he made a mistake.
00:11:40
Speaker 1: Oh, man was wild. It was wild to watch. It really really was, because you finally Casey, and we were laughing a little about it, but also a little disappointed that maybe their bond is about to yeah shake a little bit. Maybe they need a test. We see this all the time in the he was you finally heard him, and we were listening to it in air pods. I think is the first time we listened to an episode in with the AirPods. Yeah, so you heard it was funny, deep breath of his and it was authentic, just what else?
00:12:09
Speaker 3: Like what he was saying?
00:12:11
Speaker 1: What more can I do? What more can I say? I'm sorry for?
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, he felt he felt exhausted and frustrated, I think is the best way to put it. And it's funny because that is why they do these challenges. That challenge, that soccer challenge was so boring but what they got out of it was one comment that Zach made that created the entire, like, the biggest drama building part of episode eleven. And so that is why they put those games that seems silly. They usually get one kernel out of them. So when we come back, we're going to talk about the other couples. Zach and Kada a little bit to talk about there, Jen and Gabe a lot to talk about there, and then Kenzie and mel and Corbin and Caleb what the hell is going on with them? Welcome back everyone. We are talking Love Island USA, Season eight, Episode eleven, And yeah, there was a decent amount of drama, even though everyone's kind of recoupled at this point.
00:13:24
Speaker 3: Not everybody's with who they want to be apparently.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see were you awake when Kenzie and Corbyn started making out again?
00:13:33
Speaker 1: Yeah? I saw that one.
00:13:35
Speaker 3: What was that all about it?
00:13:36
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, they seem you actually said, do you like those two together?
00:13:41
Speaker 2: I kind of do. I feel like they just kind of fit each other. I don't know, there's something about them, and I think maybe now that they're forced to be with others, the forbidden Fruit even seems sexier.
00:13:54
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: That he's not feeling Melanie at this point. He's not Okay, they just need to He's not Melanie slapping in the wind right now, and so it's kind of Caleb Caleb, bless his heart, I needed to get head back to the Carolinas.
00:14:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's struggling a little bit because, Yeah, when he went to go talk to Kenzy about it, because he even said, like, Hey, sometimes I see I know that you were once in a couple with Corbin, but I feel like when I see you all together, it feels like you all are still in a couple. And so yeah, sometimes you should believe what people show you. And I kind of think he knows it. So he said he was cool with it to Kenzie. But then he goes straight back to the guys and says, yeah, I think I need to start playing the field so that yes, I think we are all now rooting for Kenzy and Corbyn to get back together. But that leaves mel up in the air, That leaves Caleb up in the air. And then look, Jen and Gabe, I you know what, they're also kind of perfect for each other. I gotta say some of the dialogue. I like kissing you. I like kissing you too. I've never had a complaint before, neither have I. This is what we get to hear back and forth between those two conversationalists.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: It's a it was It wasn't that the funny one that they were talking. She made some comment about you're not my type. You're not usually when I don't say this, he said, but you're so I love you. We connect so well, and your personality is so great.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: He he goes, oh, I've never had anyone tell me they like me for my personality.
00:15:30
Speaker 3: He was pissed. He was offended him.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: That she liked him for him, because he only wants people to like him for how he looks.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: It was hilarious.
00:15:43
Speaker 2: He doesn't even know that that's actually an unbelievable compliment because clearly the guy is hot. Obviously, he doesn't need to be told he's good looking.
00:15:52
Speaker 3: He knows he is.
00:15:53
Speaker 2: So if she's able to say, hey, you're not usually my type, but I just love your personality and he got offended, it was fun and sad. Oh my god, it was kind of amazing. So I'm here for that relationship because again, getting to hear their conversation to me is worth its weight in gold.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: You know I am ready. I'm kind of Kayle and Zach just do your thing they need to not they're in a relationship. Doesn't matter what bombshell comes in. It didn't matter. Now. That was one key moment. They were going to bed at night, the cameras were still rolling. They were whispering to each other. This was interesting.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Roes, you loved this, and I agree it was very interesting. And I want to ask you what you think because I have my thoughts on why he said it, But he basically was telling her I don't think we should basically move so fast. I don't think we should do so many things physically physically in case someone comes in and catches one of our eyes and one of us is going to have to sleep in bed next to the other. I think he was watching Mel be so upset about what happened with Sincere that she couldn't even sleep in the room with any of them, and he's thinking, God, if I get too into this girl, this is where my head went, then I might be putting myself in a really unbelievably impossible situation. So I want to take it slow because I don't want to get hurt. But she took it as, Hey, I'm distancing myself from you because I might want to be with another girl and I don't want you to get too upset or too attached.
00:17:24
Speaker 1: I took it as a third way. That's so funny, third one. And I think Zach, I do think he's a good like a decent day I do too, a decent dude. He from the opening episode has been hurting people's feelings by being honest, yes, by being himself, by being Oh. He hasn't been rude. He has been kind, He has been open. He was even cool with Bryce when Bryce said I want to go after your girl. Absolutely, Zach has been solid. I think Zach is so afraid of once again somebody of once again doing damage to somebody, of once again maybe even looking bad to America. But once you cross the line with Cada, what if somebody comes in you have to do this big game again. Somebody straddles him and she had to kiss somebody in some game after he just went a little went to third base.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: Well they're going, they're making a home run. Now.
00:18:24
Speaker 2: She made it very harsh. They got picked to go to the hideaway, and she said, we are doing everything. Yes, she told America, we are having sex tonight.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: Okay, So with that, the point is this relationship is solid. They are getting married obviously once.
00:18:42
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: Does anyone know the song Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf, It is literally the song that basically speaks to this notion that once a woman has sex with you, she expects you to marry her. Say the name of movie and Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I've never it is amazing, and you must be. I think you'll actually love it.
00:19:02
Speaker 1: That was a wild reference. There's another one of them.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: It is an apropos one, because it is this notion that once a woman has sex with you, she.
00:19:10
Speaker 3: Thinks you're getting married.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: Well yeah, so yes, that was kind of like his concern. But let's see what happens. Ain't no way he's turning her down tonight or last night, Ain't no.
00:19:22
Speaker 1: Way, who knows, But any no matter what, even though they don't go bad far, they're going to go far enough to where there's no coming back. Correct from that?
00:19:30
Speaker 3: Correct, and they're sorry, no send anybody in.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: This is done. We are in a relationship. This so now those two are on Temptation Island at this point.
00:19:41
Speaker 2: You're so right, because, by the way, any girl watching who's going to be voting this week, if Zach does anything to hurt Kada, now he's done.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Oh Zach, he can't mess up the eggs in the morning now.
00:19:52
Speaker 3: Nope, got to get him exactly right.
00:19:54
Speaker 1: I have a question. What would happen if they flip it up and the woman started making breakfast with the guys.
00:19:59
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's terribly Oh yes, that's so sexist.
00:20:03
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Sexist?
00:20:06
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. What if just the woman on her own own decides to get up You know, I'm gonna make my man.
00:20:10
Speaker 3: Break Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
00:20:12
Speaker 1: Why can't It won't.
00:20:14
Speaker 3: Wow, it won't be. It won't be. But we'll be watching, and we always appreciate you listening. Everyone. I made me roboch alongside DJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
00:20:25
Speaker 2: H
