RSS Feed We just wrapped our Love Island USA watch party and boy do we have thoughts! We gathered our group straight to the mics to first discuss the unnecessary amount of French kissing that lasted throughout the entire episode. And then there were those uncomfortable sex questions, the constant doors, the bombshell additions and the silly, highly produced opening to start season 8 off with a bang.

Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Tuesday night, late June second, and somebody please tell me when Love Island became the Kissing Booth? And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. I'm sitting in a room with my dear fiance Roboch, her daughter Ava, her best friend Rye, and the young daughter Analise. We're surrounded by a few other folks who might chime in. You all, what the actual hell was that episode?
00:00:31
Speaker 2: Ava?
00:00:32
Speaker 1: Give me your first impression? Okay, what was your first impression?
00:00:38
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch even people who are that good looking like swap spits.
00:00:44
Speaker 4: Okay, minutes on end.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: Analise your first impression?
00:00:48
Speaker 4: Uncomfortable?
00:00:49
Speaker 1: Okay, Rye your first impression. Okay, we're all on the same page. The show has been working.
00:00:57
Speaker 2: It's a hit.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: Why in God's did we just add the doors and the kissing?
00:01:04
Speaker 2: Why was that necessary? Please tell me why.
00:01:07
Speaker 3: I was interested because I thought it was gross, and I thought it was because I'm older.
00:01:11
Speaker 4: Y'all are young. Ye, you're the same age group as these contestants. Don't remind me, but so it was gross to you too.
00:01:20
Speaker 5: Well.
00:01:21
Speaker 6: I feel like I grew up with a love of rom coms in which the titular scene said movie was like the kiss, Right, so in when in five minutes of a show, everyone's not just it's not just a peck, it's not a friendly Not that kisses are necessarily friendly, but it was.
00:01:39
Speaker 5: It was a overtly sexual.
00:01:42
Speaker 6: Open mouth cleaning of the teeth, and it's just like whoa, Like, how can anybody.
00:01:48
Speaker 5: Possibly enjoy that?
00:01:49
Speaker 6: You don't even you've never you've laid on eyes on this person for thirty seconds?
00:01:53
Speaker 5: How can you possibly be having fun there?
00:01:56
Speaker 1: Okay, well I thought we were the prudes, right, I thought we weren't analyse into the who does this appeal to? Who was watching this? And what age? Ranged Like, Wow, that's hot?
00:02:09
Speaker 5: Who was the doors opening?
00:02:11
Speaker 7: And there's like three girls and one guy and then they all just have to swallow, like that's just weird.
00:02:20
Speaker 4: What happened?
00:02:22
Speaker 2: They're like, what's up? And then they would just kissing.
00:02:25
Speaker 4: Well, I have you ever? I mean, maybe I shouldn't ask my daughter's this, but the.
00:02:29
Speaker 3: Idea of kissing somebody right after my friend, that's disgusting.
00:02:36
Speaker 6: Right honestly, So call me crazy, but if I was in this situation, I would hope to be with friends, because it would make it that much less uncomfortable.
00:02:49
Speaker 5: And more of a game and or joke.
00:02:51
Speaker 6: Actually, I think if I saw another girl kiss the guy and I knew I had to after, I would prefer that for me to just have to go in blind.
00:03:01
Speaker 5: Like that sounds weird, I know, but again there's no romance. Part of Love Island that was fun about it is that, like it's these like really.
00:03:08
Speaker 6: Brilliant, like really brilliantly stunning people, and I use brilliantly stunning, not brilliant period. So part of it is like watching these beautiful people sort of like meekly fallen quote unquote love.
00:03:25
Speaker 5: And that's the fun of it, right. It's like there's there's.
00:03:27
Speaker 3: Firtation, yeah, people be with you, there's an art, there's a build up there.
00:03:34
Speaker 5: It's all out the gates like that.
00:03:36
Speaker 6: It's just uncomfortable, gross, gross and frankly like I was like, like I would be scared if I was in that possession.
00:03:43
Speaker 5: I would be like, I don't want to.
00:03:44
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to do that, but can't you have to?
00:03:46
Speaker 1: You won't give me the upside because I walked away with the impression that Damn, I'm not looking forward to the next episode because not even we're just talking about the kissing. I forgot about this the first question. We're all about setting your favorite sexual position. It was the first thing, the first two questions.
00:04:04
Speaker 4: Why Anna, what do you? What are your thoughts? I saw you about to say something I.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: Don't even know.
00:04:10
Speaker 4: I was just thinking, that's that's a stretch.
00:04:12
Speaker 5: And I feel like I've watched yes, and you know they've been overly sexual, but this was this was something I've never seen. I want to watch it. I'm down to watch it, but I think I'm going to be like really uncomforted.
00:04:27
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all give me the upsides. I feel like I'm dumping on it too much. Give me the upsides.
00:04:31
Speaker 2: What did y'all like? What are y'all excited about? What did you all see?
00:04:34
Speaker 1: Even the coupling up or even individuals that y'all like? Give me the upsides you all see so far for the season?
00:04:40
Speaker 4: Well, I like some of the.
00:04:41
Speaker 3: Couples, but then they all seemingly were offended at the end of it. So I do like how everybody coupled up initially, but I didn't know.
00:04:51
Speaker 4: But and the bombshell thing is fun.
00:04:53
Speaker 3: I just again, do we always every time there's a bombshell?
00:04:56
Speaker 4: Do they have to come in and kiss everybody again? Like this, no one shakes hands anymore.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: It's just you must French kiss the moment you meet somebody.
00:05:06
Speaker 7: There's also something to the to the presentation of the doors, like the series of questions were favorite.
00:05:12
Speaker 5: Sex position into catdogg or plant.
00:05:16
Speaker 6: I think we start with sex positions and with do you check each other's phones?
00:05:21
Speaker 4: It's just like it's post insane.
00:05:24
Speaker 7: Like have you ever read a book where like there's a beginning, middle of an end, Like just the series of questions and the order in which they were asked yes was not correct, like sex positions could have maybe been the last question.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: It jump They started out they have never done this on the show before. It's a hit show. There was a conscious decision to go this route. They did not have to, so why did they.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: They're trying to do something I am not that's not sex.
00:05:59
Speaker 2: I mean, this was gross.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm sorry. Just seeing one couple make out to that degree is gross. But then you're gonna go to the next and then you're gonna swap and the you're gonna swap with the next.
00:06:09
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't want to watch that. That's not hot, no matter how hot he is or how hot shit is.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: I love this show and it turned me off today.
00:06:21
Speaker 5: Also, what man doesn't know how to make an egg?
00:06:26
Speaker 2: He excluded immediately.
00:06:31
Speaker 4: Thing you could possibly ever make in the kitchen. See, but this is when it's fun. I'm there for that, watching it, I watching and just I don't know, dumb.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's go around. Let's start. Let's start with Sincere. What do y'all think about Sincere? He's he's gonna Oh what right you talk?
00:06:53
Speaker 5: I just asked.
00:06:54
Speaker 4: I just asked if his middle name was Lee.
00:06:55
Speaker 1: That's all everybody gets it? Okay, since here going to be a problem. We like Sincere. You all seem to be a fan of Sincere.
00:07:09
Speaker 5: His hair is a little, he's got a great faced, grape bought, nice guy.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: He's gonna be good.
00:07:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like him a lot.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: What about the nursing assistant c J? Right? Kate? Was that Casey? Casey?
00:07:23
Speaker 1: So they got thrown together, he and the other because they got rejected.
00:07:26
Speaker 5: I think it was good.
00:07:27
Speaker 6: He got like humbled tumbled off that because he had a certain him.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: That might have been the highlight of the show for me and Sabine as well. When he got when he opened the door and nobody was on the other it was just a funny moment.
00:07:42
Speaker 4: Baby pink blinged out. He thought he was looking fly and then no one was on the other side.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: He handled it.
00:07:51
Speaker 4: It was a man broach, a dazzled man. I don't want to see you.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Okay, okay.
00:07:58
Speaker 1: Everybody seemed to have in the thinging about our girl from Kennesa, Georgia.

00:08:18
Speaker 1: Now?
00:08:18
Speaker 2: What is her train?
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Because in the opening video, which we haven't discussed either, she was doing she seemed to have some kind of a dancing background.
00:08:27
Speaker 4: She loves splits and she every morning. She's very intense. She's very intense. She's like a cheerleader on speed. That's how she comes off.
00:08:36
Speaker 5: To me, there was a drug thing.

Speaker 5: The Trinity Trinity.
00:09:30
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, they were not a good couple.
00:09:32
Speaker 5: No, they thought they were going to be good and.
00:09:34

Speaker 6: Yeah, she seems like she has a lot of self esteem and like you know, she is knows what she wants is like there to have fun, Like she just.
00:09:56
Speaker 4: Knows what she doesn't want. A man with a kid yeah, switched it up.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: There was.
00:10:03
Speaker 4: Oh yes, she was.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Can we not?
00:10:05
Speaker 1: Can we not admit the two bombshells should have their own show together to where they just go out and do stuff being hot together. They are the two hottest folks on the show nowadays.
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Too, hottest folks just walked in at the end of and everything.
00:10:19
Speaker 5: I kind of think the blue dress girl.
00:10:22
Speaker 6: Trinity, no other blue dress Philly North Philly.
00:10:27
Speaker 4: Oh yes, l A.
00:10:29
Speaker 1: She's in l A now as the bikini Melanie.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: Melanie and the cop.
00:10:36
Speaker 1: Who do you think about the cop with the big smile and he's the one that has the son.
00:10:41
Speaker 4: That's going to be a hard that's gonna be.
00:10:43
Speaker 2: Don't think about Sean.
00:10:46
Speaker 4: Unfortunately with the kid.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: I think that's that's gonna be a tough He's a nice guy.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Nobody on this show is ready to be a parent.
00:10:59
Speaker 4: And everyone's best interest.
00:11:00
Speaker 2: We talked about this.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: They seem to tiptoe around not mention the fact that he quit his job to be on this show.
00:11:07
Speaker 4: Yes, and he did.
00:11:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:11:09
Speaker 3: They came out and gave this big statement saying how disappointed they were that he has left the town stranded basically without enough police officers and they can't hire another one until next year because of their budget, so he kind of screwed the town and the mayor under the bus Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
00:11:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, it bakes it so.
00:11:38
Speaker 1: But it was weird how he talked about I'm a cop and I've been a cop this long, and Needen didn't mention the fact that, oh, yeah, I.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Am a former cop.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I quit to be here to find love, which I don't knock him for.
00:11:50
Speaker 3: Yes, we haven't talked about the open, which has been a big thing with Love Island, USA.
00:11:56
Speaker 1: Okay, well stay here, folks, when we come back, stick around. We'll get to that last part. What did y'all think about this year's open compared.
00:12:04
Speaker 4: To I came here for love?
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Stay here? All right?
00:12:17
Speaker 1: We continue here? What is it if we came here for love? I came here for your love.
00:12:21
Speaker 4: I couldn't it was we or I?
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Okay? Yes?
00:12:24
Speaker 1: And that with Corneill swinging the luggage. Yes, we love that open. What do you all think about season eight? It was a little extended, I guess it was. But what'd you all think about this open and the music and the numbers and the dancing compared to those and years past.
00:12:38
Speaker 2: You know why, maybe sad.
00:12:42
Speaker 4: I feel like they had a lot of potential. They too hard, you think, so yeah, and I don't know.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Oh wow, right, what do you think about it? The same set that they always have. This is my first time watching.
00:12:55
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh like a place to be so tacky?
00:12:59
Speaker 8: Okay, you don't like the whole villa? Okay, so new to love Island? After watching one episode? Are you clamoring to go back and see more? Honestly, okay, I'm kind of okay, what did you think?
00:13:24
Speaker 5: I mean, it was a production. It felt like they were maybe trying to cater to a younger audience and that they.
00:13:34
Speaker 4: Were doing like TikTok dances, or at least.
00:13:37
Speaker 6: They kind of had the I am I am Anna, They'll jump in whenever you want.
00:13:43
Speaker 5: But Anna makes fun of me for not knowing what's.
00:13:45
Speaker 4: Going on in the world, and TikTok I don't.
00:13:48
Speaker 5: I'm not hip, I'm really not. But the it gave me a look.
00:13:53
Speaker 7: For those listening, it was one of steel and she.
00:13:59
Speaker 6: Anyways, TikTok dances, that's kind of what it felt like I'm trying to do, is like move their bodies.
00:14:04
Speaker 4: In that way.
00:14:05
Speaker 5: But it went on for a really long.
00:14:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, they went on too long.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It was too extended, I feel like, and I didn't like the song as much. I guess I just miss it's ketchy. Sketchy came here for love, but yeah, I just I thought it was mad and it ends up making everyone look super.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: Cheesy, which is okay, we embrace that.
00:14:23
Speaker 1: But man, yeah, but Cornell swinging that luggage is still cool to me.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay cheesy? That was it?
00:14:31
Speaker 4: Still all right?
00:14:33
Speaker 6: Well?
00:14:34
Speaker 2: One down?
00:14:35
Speaker 1: How many episodes do you get? There's another one tomorrow, Christ on sale? Are they going to be swapping spit every single you.
00:14:43
Speaker 4: Know what I was thinking? Because they do these almost in real time. What are they like a twenty four hours behind? Maybe not even that.
00:14:50
Speaker 3: Much, but they are listening to feedback, So I feel like, like, stop kissing so much enough, it's too much. Maybe they'll pull back a little bit on the kissing.
00:15:01
Speaker 6: Wait, but do producers go to people while they're in the villa and give them like no, but.
00:15:05
Speaker 3: The producers can stop creating games where you have to kiss someone. They could dial that back a little because it's just it was too much, too soon. I don't even know how many times we saw people kissing? I lost count.
00:15:20
Speaker 5: Can it be saved though? When they threw it at you at the gate?
00:15:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. I'm hoping. I'm hoping.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: There's really uncomfortable watching it with my thirteen year old daughter.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: And this is supposed to be innocent family.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: Fine, yeah, everyone's their booties like those are barely baby.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: Oh but okay, we'll see what happens next. But on behalf of Sophie, Neve, Ava Rye Anale, Sabine, my dear robot, I am DJ owns. We always appreciate you. Just spend some time with us.

00:03:46
Speaker 1: You won't give me the upside because I walked away with the impression that Damn, I'm not looking forward to the next episode because not even we're just talking about the kissing. I forgot about this the first question. We're all about setting your favorite sexual position. It was the first thing, the first two questions.
00:04:04
Speaker 4: Why Anna, what do you? What are your thoughts? I saw you about to say something I.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: Don't even know.
00:04:10
Speaker 4: I was just thinking, that's that's a stretch.
00:04:12
Speaker 5: And I feel like I've watched yes, and you know they've been overly sexual, but this was this was something I've never seen. I want to watch it. I'm down to watch it, but I think I'm going to be like really uncomforted.
00:04:27
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all give me the upsides. I feel like I'm dumping on it too much. Give me the upsides.
00:04:31
Speaker 2: What did y'all like? What are y'all excited about? What did you all see?
00:04:34
Speaker 1: Even the coupling up or even individuals that y'all like? Give me the upsides you all see so far for the season?
00:04:40
Speaker 4: Well, I like some of the.
00:04:41
Speaker 3: Couples, but then they all seemingly were offended at the end of it. So I do like how everybody coupled up initially, but I didn't know.
00:04:51
Speaker 4: But and the bombshell thing is fun.
00:04:53
Speaker 3: I just again, do we always every time there's a bombshell?
00:04:56
Speaker 4: Do they have to come in and kiss everybody again? Like this, no one shakes hands anymore.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: It's just you must French kiss the moment you meet somebody.
00:05:06
Speaker 7: There's also something to the to the presentation of the doors, like the series of questions were favorite.
00:05:12
Speaker 5: Sex position into catdogg or plant.
00:05:16
Speaker 6: I think we start with sex positions and with do you check each other's phones?
00:05:21
Speaker 4: It's just like it's post insane.
00:05:24
Speaker 7: Like have you ever read a book where like there's a beginning, middle of an end, Like just the series of questions and the order in which they were asked yes was not correct, like sex positions could have maybe been the last question.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: It jump They started out they have never done this on the show before. It's a hit show. There was a conscious decision to go this route. They did not have to, so why did they.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: They're trying to do something I am not that's not sex.
00:05:59
Speaker 2: I mean, this was gross.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm sorry. Just seeing one couple make out to that degree is gross. But then you're gonna go to the next and then you're gonna swap and the you're gonna swap with the next.
00:06:09
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't want to watch that. That's not hot, no matter how hot he is or how hot shit is.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: I love this show and it turned me off today.
00:06:21
Speaker 5: Also, what man doesn't know how to make an egg?
00:06:26
Speaker 2: He excluded immediately.
00:06:31
Speaker 4: Thing you could possibly ever make in the kitchen. See, but this is when it's fun. I'm there for that, watching it, I watching and just I don't know, dumb.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's go around. Let's start. Let's start with Sincere. What do y'all think about Sincere? He's he's gonna Oh what right you talk?
00:06:53
Speaker 5: I just asked.
00:06:54
Speaker 4: I just asked if his middle name was Lee.
00:06:55
Speaker 1: That's all everybody gets it? Okay, since here going to be a problem. We like Sincere. You all seem to be a fan of Sincere.
00:07:09
Speaker 5: His hair is a little, he's got a great faced, grape bought, nice guy.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: He's gonna be good.

00:07:16
Speaker 2: What about the nursing assistant c J? Right? Kate? Was that Casey? Casey?
00:07:23
Speaker 1: So they got thrown together, he and the other because they got rejected.
00:07:26
Speaker 5: I think it was good.
00:07:27
Speaker 6: He got like humbled tumbled off that because he had a certain him.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: That might have been the highlight of the show for me and Sabine as well. When he got when he opened the door and nobody was on the other it was just a funny moment.
00:07:42
Speaker 4: Baby pink blinged out. He thought he was looking fly and then no one was on the other side.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: He handled it.
00:07:51
Speaker 4: It was a man broach, a dazzled man. I don't want to see you.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Okay, okay.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: There was.
00:10:03
Speaker 4: Oh yes, she was.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Can we not?
00:10:05
Speaker 1: Can we not admit the two bombshells should have their own show together to where they just go out and do stuff being hot together. They are the two hottest folks on the show nowadays.
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Too, hottest folks just walked in at the end of and everything.
00:10:19
Speaker 5: I kind of think the blue dress girl.

00:10:36
Speaker 1: Who do you think about the cop with the big smile and he's the one that has the son.
00:10:41
Speaker 4: That's going to be a hard that's gonna be.
00:10:43
Speaker 2: Don't think about Sean.
00:10:46
Speaker 4: Unfortunately with the kid.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: I think that's that's gonna be a tough He's a nice guy.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Nobody on this show is ready to be a parent.
00:10:59
Speaker 4: And everyone's best interest.
00:11:00
Speaker 2: We talked about this.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: They seem to tiptoe around not mention the fact that he quit his job to be on this show.
00:11:07
Speaker 4: Yes, and he did.
00:11:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:11:09
Speaker 3: They came out and gave this big statement saying how disappointed they were that he has left the town stranded basically without enough police officers and they can't hire another one until next year because of their budget, so he kind of screwed the town and the mayor under the bus Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
00:11:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, it bakes it so.
00:11:38
Speaker 1: But it was weird how he talked about I'm a cop and I've been a cop this long, and Needen didn't mention the fact that, oh, yeah, I.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Am a former cop.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I quit to be here to find love, which I don't knock him for.
00:11:50
Speaker 3: Yes, we haven't talked about the open, which has been a big thing with Love Island, USA.
00:11:56
Speaker 1: Okay, well stay here, folks, when we come back, stick around. We'll get to that last part. What did y'all think about this year's open compared.
00:12:04
Speaker 4: To I came here for love?
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Stay here? All right?
00:12:17
Speaker 1: We continue here? What is it if we came here for love? I came here for your love.
00:12:21
Speaker 4: I couldn't it was we or I?
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Okay? Yes?
00:12:24
Speaker 1: And that with Corneill swinging the luggage. Yes, we love that open. What do you all think about season eight? It was a little extended, I guess it was. But what'd you all think about this open and the music and the numbers and the dancing compared to those and years past.
00:12:38
Speaker 2: You know why, maybe sad.
00:12:42
Speaker 4: I feel like they had a lot of potential. They too hard, you think, so yeah, and I don't know.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Oh wow, right, what do you think about it? The same set that they always have. This is my first time watching.
00:12:55
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh like a place to be so tacky?
00:12:59
Speaker 8: Okay, you don't like the whole villa? Okay, so new to love Island? After watching one episode? Are you clamoring to go back and see more? Honestly, okay, I'm kind of okay, what did you think?
00:13:24
Speaker 5: I mean, it was a production. It felt like they were maybe trying to cater to a younger audience and that they.
00:13:34
Speaker 4: Were doing like TikTok dances, or at least.
00:13:37
Speaker 6: They kind of had the I am I am Anna, They'll jump in whenever you want.
00:13:43
Speaker 5: But Anna makes fun of me for not knowing what's.
00:13:45
Speaker 4: Going on in the world, and TikTok I don't.
00:13:48
Speaker 5: I'm not hip, I'm really not. But the it gave me a look.
00:13:53
Speaker 7: For those listening, it was one of steel and she.
00:13:59
Speaker 6: Anyways, TikTok dances, that's kind of what it felt like I'm trying to do, is like move their bodies.
00:14:04
Speaker 4: In that way.
00:14:05
Speaker 5: But it went on for a really long.
00:14:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, they went on too long.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It was too extended, I feel like, and I didn't like the song as much. I guess I just miss it's ketchy. Sketchy came here for love, but yeah, I just I thought it was mad and it ends up making everyone look super.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: Cheesy, which is okay, we embrace that.
00:14:23
Speaker 1: But man, yeah, but Cornell swinging that luggage is still cool to me.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay cheesy? That was it?
00:14:31
Speaker 4: Still all right?
00:14:33
Speaker 6: Well?
00:14:34
Speaker 2: One down?
00:14:35
Speaker 1: How many episodes do you get? There's another one tomorrow, Christ on sale? Are they going to be swapping spit every single you.
00:14:43
Speaker 4: Know what I was thinking? Because they do these almost in real time. What are they like a twenty four hours behind? Maybe not even that.
00:14:50
Speaker 3: Much, but they are listening to feedback, So I feel like, like, stop kissing so much enough, it's too much. Maybe they'll pull back a little bit on the kissing.
00:15:01
Speaker 6: Wait, but do producers go to people while they're in the villa and give them like no, but.
00:15:05
Speaker 3: The producers can stop creating games where you have to kiss someone. They could dial that back a little because it's just it was too much, too soon. I don't even know how many times we saw people kissing? I lost count.
00:15:20
Speaker 5: Can it be saved though? When they threw it at you at the gate?
00:15:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. I'm hoping. I'm hoping.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: There's really uncomfortable watching it with my thirteen year old daughter.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: And this is supposed to be innocent family.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: Fine, yeah, everyone's their booties like those are barely baby.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: Oh but okay, we'll see what happens next. But on behalf of Sophie, Neve, Ava Rye Anale, Sabine, my dear robot, I am DJ owns. We always appreciate you. Just spend some time with us.
