00:00I think Lea and Rob should not get together.
00:05I want Lea to pay him dust.
00:07I mean, it's nice, but what the hell?
00:11Gone with the wind, then.
00:12That's my opinion!
00:14This season is so good.
00:17There is a side to me that this villa has yet to see,
00:20and I just want to say thank you and f*** you to Rob.
00:23You're a huge fan of Love Island,
00:25so is this like a dream come true for you?
00:28Oh, absolutely.
00:29To get to host my favorite show,
00:32I literally pinch myself every day.
00:36Nothing about it really feels like work.
00:39Yeah.
00:40It just feels like I'm getting to participate in,
00:44it's all just so much fun.
00:46I love it every day.
00:47It's so much fun, and you are bringing the fashion.
00:51What has been your favorite look so far?
00:54Well, the gold look from the premiere night
00:56was definitely up there,
00:59and I really loved the color block chain mail dress
01:04with the flippy half-up hair,
01:07because I got to feel, I felt like a futuristic pop star,
01:11and I loved that look.
01:13So I think those are my favorites right now.
01:15No, I would have to agree.
01:17I mean, you were given the looks,
01:19and you're also doing such a great job hosting.
01:21I know this was probably maybe
01:23a little out of your comfort zone,
01:24but you're doing such a great job.
01:27I mean, I hosted the morning announcements in high school,
01:29so I feel like it's kind of part of my wheelhouse.
01:31Same, same, honestly.
01:33You were made for that.
01:34Thank you, morning announcements in high school, truly.
01:37Yeah.
01:38But I have to say, though,
01:40I mean, this season is delivering, you're delivering,
01:43and then the contestants are delivering.
01:46Are you shocked by all the drama?
01:49I'm shocked, no, but I'm loving it.
01:55And I feel like this entire cast,
01:59from the OG Islanders to the bombshells that are coming in,
02:04everyone is really just leaning into every emotion
02:09that they're feeling and being themselves.
02:13I think that every one of them is so important to the show,
02:17that every time we have to say goodbye,
02:20it's really hard for her to ask me,
02:22well, who would you get rid of?
02:24I feel like I can't say anyone,
02:27because I almost feel like I wish
02:29that they could just all stay the whole time,
02:30because we don't even need,
02:33do we really need new people coming in?
02:35Because they are giving.
02:37But we do need the bombshells,
02:38because turning heads, that's the big thing
02:42that we love as viewers.
02:43We need the bombshells.
02:44Yeah, when Nicole and Andrea came in,
02:46that was explosive.
02:50Everyone's handcuffed or blindfolded.
02:53I absolutely, I loved watching it on TV,
02:57but I also loved being there for all of that in person.
03:02You're like, I can just tell
03:04you're having so much fun with this.
03:05You're like, I'm such a fan of this franchise,
03:07but then you're there in person, you're having fun.
03:10Part of me feels like an evil mastermind,
03:13knowing what's coming and having ideas
03:16for what if we did this, or what if we did that?
03:20I'm having a great time, and I love all of them.
03:23And I hope they don't hate me too much
03:25for the things that I have to do when I come in there.
03:28No, I mean, you have to do it,
03:29which we have to talk about.
03:31The big thing that recently happened, Rob, Andrea,
03:35and then she was voted off the island and off the villa.
03:40I mean, I was surprised the women picked her,
03:44but what was going through your head
03:47watching that all play out?
03:49Well, with the three boys and the three girls
03:53that were standing up there,
03:54of course, I think that when you have
03:57to make a decision like that,
03:58when you are an islander and you know everyone personally,
04:01I can't imagine that kind of pressure.
04:03And you have to start thinking about
04:06all of the different factors that go into
04:09why you would choose for someone to stay
04:11and why you would choose for someone to be the one to go.
04:14And no matter who you choose,
04:16it's going to affect everyone greatly.
04:19And it's gonna make,
04:21people are gonna be upset no matter who you choose.
04:24I think that their choice in Andrea going home,
04:29you know, Andrea was very solid with Rob
04:33for the three to four days that she was in there,
04:37which is very short.
04:38But that being said, they were very magnets to each other.
04:43And that's great and that's lovely.
04:44But I think while this is not Friendship Island,
04:48it is Love Island,
04:49you do have to make connections
04:51with the other people in the house
04:53aside from just the person you're coupled up with.
04:56And that includes the other women in the house.
05:00And that includes being open to getting to know
05:04other people at all times
05:05because you have the person you're coupled up with,
05:08you have the other Islanders,
05:10then you have the audience.
05:12So the audience put her and Rob in the bottom.
05:16And then from that point,
05:17it's her fellow Islanders who are deciding who's going home.
05:20And so that's how it goes.
05:24I've seen many, many, many episodes
05:26and many eliminations and many seasons of Love Island
05:29across the entire world.
05:32And I would say that she is definitely
05:34not the first person to be chosen to go home
05:36who was in a solid couple.
05:38And he could have left.
05:41He could have left and he didn't.
05:43But you kind of told him, you're like, don't leave.
05:45You like kind of made a comment.
05:47Why did you say that to him?
05:50I didn't think he was gonna leave in the first place.
05:53And part of me felt like he shouldn't leave
05:59because I think that you don't make decisions like that
06:02in the heat of the moment,
06:03you should give it a day or two.
06:04And then if you still feel like you wanna leave,
06:07go ahead and leave.
06:08Yeah.
06:08You know, she'll still be in her hotel.
06:11She's still in Fiji.
06:12She's still in Fiji.
06:13Like you could give it a couple of days
06:15and literally go see her at the hotel.
06:18She's not that, she hasn't left yet.
06:21But part of me also felt like
06:24I wanted to call his bluff a little bit.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Well, now we're thinking that Rob and Leah
06:31might give it another go.
06:34And I don't know how I feel about that.
06:37I wish they wouldn't.
06:41Same.
06:43I just, I want Leah to pay him dust, you know, like,
06:48but we'll see.
06:49I haven't seen, you know,
06:50there's another episode coming tonight
06:53and there's a lot more to come this week
06:55that obviously hasn't happened yet
06:57because, you know, our episodes are filmed
06:59almost in real time.
07:02Which is crazy.
07:04Yeah. So I have actually, you know,
07:06I'm constantly texting, you know,
07:08whatever producers are at the villa being like,
07:11can you update me?
07:11Like what's going on?
07:13Because moment to moment things change.
07:15And so, you know, I saw that in last night's episode.
07:19And so I'm very curious, you know,
07:21we did have bombshells coming in
07:24and so I'm dying to know what's going on,
07:27but I think Leah and Rob should not get together.
07:35I agree.
07:35I'm like, for the love of God, don't do it.
07:37Just like, cause his head's going to turn
07:40the minute another bombshell comes in.
07:43I feel like all of us have been there in our lives
07:45at different points in time.
07:47And they are way younger than me.
07:49And when I was 25, I was making all kinds of, you know,
07:54ill-advised decisions in my romantic life.
07:57And that's part of why the show is so wonderful.
07:59And we are watching these ill-advised decisions
08:02like play out in real time.
08:04And sometimes we all have been that person
08:08or have that friend that, you know,
08:10you are like, girl, don't do it.
08:12You know, we do it anyways, you know?
08:14So we'll see what happens.
08:16I do want to ask really quick though,
08:17because we have Kayla and Erin who seem the strongest.
08:23Do you think they will make it end game?
08:26Like, is there any couple that might make it to the end
08:29or will some more come in and you know?
08:31Yes, I have high hopes for Kayla and Erin.
08:34I think they're adorable together.
08:36I think if Erin can, you know,
08:39untether himself from the bromance that is Rob and Erin,
08:43I actually feel like if Erin could couple up with Rob,
08:47he might, because he seemed to cry more about Rob leaving
08:50than anything else that's ever happened in the villa.
08:53But I do have high hopes for Kayla and Erin.
08:55I think both of them, they're so cute together,
09:00but we do have Casa more coming up.
09:02And obviously that is such a huge test for both of them
09:05and we'll see what happens.
09:08I, you never know.
09:11You really never know.
09:13I know, and we're such early days, as they say in the UK.
09:16It's early days.
09:17It's early days, isn't it?
09:20I don't do a good accent.
09:22No, but I love it.
09:23And seriously, I'm not just saying this,
09:25but you're killing it.
09:26Everyone online's like, we came for Ariana hosting
09:29and now we're staying
09:30because it's such a fricking good season, so.
09:33And I wanna be like, I told you guys it was the best show.
09:36It's the best show.
09:37And I'm so glad that so many people are falling in love
09:41with my favorite show in the same way
09:42that I fell in love with it so many years ago.
09:45And I'm so glad if I could spread the Love Island USA love
09:51to be able to do that.
