Happy Wednesday, everybody. We are reporting to you live from Fiji, where it is already Wednesday. Correct. Correct. Normally, we are a day, we record a day before. Mm-hmm.

The episode comes out, but we are doing a full-blown Wednesday on a Wednesday. Wednesday on a Wednesday because... Wednesday Fiji is a Wednesday in the U.S. for you guys. We don't get it either. We are in a time zone. I can't even speak. We are in a Zoom. We are in a Zoom. We're in a time zone where we don't know where the frick we are and it doesn't matter because we are in frickin' Fiji. We landed this morning.

Um, and it was like 5 30 AM landed in Fiji. Turns out the sun in Fiji does not rise until about 6 45 AM in the winter, in the winter season. It's winter here. So we're in winter.

We're in a whole nother planet. This is a whole wild... It is an actual such a mindfuck. We flew over the international day line. So it's like all of a sudden it's Wednesday. And it was... To make it clear because everybody's listening on Wednesday. Yeah. We landed...

on Tuesday New York time but Wednesday Fiji time right so that's why when we keep saying it's Wednesday it's yes it's Wednesday when you guys are listening it was Wednesday when we skipped a whole day to make it clear correct this we are 16 hours ahead yes um

New York time. So like we're minding our own, our own beeswax right now, hanging out in Fiji. It's a 10 something. It's Wednesday at 310. And in New York, it is 1110 on Tuesday night. Yep. So we're going to be great once we, when we get back, once we, uh, uh, get back. No. And, and,

the team of people that we are here with has been so great. - Amazing. - And they were joking. - Thanks guys. - Yeah, yeah, you guys. And they were joking, they were like, "Oh perfect, you guys are here for just the right amount of time to get fucked up and then fly back home." - And then fuck you back up on the way back home. But it's fantastic. - Seamless travel day. - It's really seamless, all the flights on time. We all slept majority of them.

We're well-rested, got acquainted to our resort in Fiji. We have a lovely interview with Ariana Maddox on this episode. We hit the ground running, guys. Right away when we landed, got a couple hours, and then we did our interview with Ariana, who thank you for your time because she's busy and she's hosting Love Island USA, which is so exciting.

so big right now and it's why we're in Fiji because some people may be listening going why the fuck are they in Fiji we are in Fiji because we are here for Love Island USA we are going on after sun we're also going to take a visit to the villa interview some of the finalists and the winners so that's all very very exciting I'm going to try and find the tweet keep going yes but it's been you know just

Just a lovely morning getting acquainted here. You know, we spent some time on the beach. I want to ask Noah about his travel because I feel like he really soaked it all in on the way here. And I admired that. I admired your excitement, your enthusiasm, like all of it. I loved it. Well, this is the first time I've ever flown...

I guess you can call it first class, even though that's not what... I get confused with that. They call it business. It's either business or economy. That's like the international travel way. Terminology. Yeah. Yeah, because the United States Airlines don't really have business class. They just like...

plucked that out. It's like your economy or first and then they, you know, they trickle in like comfort or like premium select and it's really not that much better than economy. It's like maybe you get a little more leg room. Maybe, you know, could be considered more of a rip off than some of the international airlines. But yeah, they do. Yeah. Economy, business, first class. Some airlines don't even have first class.

Yeah. Technically. Like Fiji Airways we flew, like that was, there was no first class seat on Fiji Airways. Shout out Peacock. Thank you very much. Yeah. For the lovely experience. Yeah. But we were, we were eating up the experience. Yeah. Anyways, the flight from New York to LA, I was just excited about the Fiji flight. So I really like, and I was trying to stay awake because usually when we fly to LA, it's like, it's like the longest flight we've ever had. Yeah. It's sleep time. Fighting to stay awake on that flight. Me too. But,

Yeah, the flight attendant actually on the way to LA. Do you guys ask for a full can when they bring by the soda? No. No, I never ask. Sometimes they give it to you. Sometimes they don't. Yeah, sometimes you get it. Sometimes you don't. I'm fine either way. Because when they do give me the full can, I'm like, oh, thanks. That's great. But then also, then I'm like...

Now I got to drink this whole thing. And then I'm like, did I even really want to drink a whole can of soda? Or did I just want a little taste? You become responsible for it. But it is nice. But I'm like... I don't know what it is. Well, I do know what it is. I looked it up. Like that I get so thirsty on planes. So I was dying of thirst. And I had two water bottles, but I was trying to ration them. So I was like...

I almost lost one of them and I was like freaking out. I was like, where is my water? So the flight attendant was coming by and I'm like, you know what? I'm going to ask her for a full can. I've seen people do this before. Like in my head, I'm like, I'm going to ask her for a full can. And then- Also just funny, like you were so worried about being thirsty and just ask for more water. Well, but like either way I have to ask. It's like- Yeah. So-

I chickened out. She was like, she gave me the cup of Diet Coke and I was like, I can't do it. I can't do it. And then she just saw me chug it and gave me the rest of the Diet Coke can. And I was like, that was like the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. And then at the end of the flight, she was... Wait, wait, wait. That was the nicest thing anyone's ever done? No, it's just like you don't expect people to be nice in those situations. I don't know what it like... It is very nice, yeah. Yeah.

any airport travel like she was paying attention they don't care it's their job yes and i'm like why would she like she didn't do that for anyone else like i was looking around like other people ordering diet coke why did she give me the can anyways this was all just to say that at the end she was like she's a fan of chicks in the office and she recognized me and i'm like i've made it i got a free diet coke wait that's amazing also i just love free anyway but not

Not with warmth. You got a double serving. Not with warmth and love and also makes me happy that our listeners are such nice people. Yeah. And I wonder like, does she listen on the plane maybe? Like in the front? Like...

Maybe you guys can reconnect. Yeah. Maybe after this. Shout out to her. She's working. Yeah. I don't know if she's listening. But then we got to Fiji. Or no, we didn't. We got to LA. Yeah. Sarah and I, because we weren't flying together. You guys flew ahead. Because she did ask if you guys were on the plane. I was like, they're not. No, you flew early because- Thank God we flew early. You guys had a lot of equipment to check. And Rhi and I are just amazing.

amazing, wonderful packers, efficient. We know what we want. We are so prepared. My mom was shocked when I said you guys weren't checking bags. We only have our cute little carry-ons. The fact that me and you for a full week in Fiji only have a carry-on. Let me shake your hand. I know. Let me just shake your hand. I know. I'm shocked. Well, you know, I was, there was a second there on my Monday while I was packing that I thought, fuck,

I may just have to bring the big suitcase and throw everything in. But I gathered myself because I was not feeling my best on Monday post a Sunday night Parker house. You were hungover.

which, you know, was not my smartest move, but in the moment, I was like, I can't possibly leave my friends who were going to Parker House on Sunday. It was Madeline's bridal shower. We had an amazing time. It was a beautiful day. And then it was gorgeous. A thunderstorm came through, massive thunderstorm. I'm picturing it. And then six o'clock,

sun beautiful sunshine it's a calling it was just like i'm gonna leave now you have to go no i respected that so much i said fuck it yeah you had fucking 19 hour flight ahead of you why not go out get fucked up be hung over you gotta lay down anyway you gotta lay down you you know what i mean yeah you gotta go over on a plane though is no it was not my smartest choice as far as like hydration the thing is you're forced to sit on a flight so it's like

Yes, being hung over on a flight is fucking miserable. But at the same time, you're forced to sit there. Like you got no response. Nobody can get to you. You're in the air. You know, I had to fully debrief and sit in the shower for a little bit once I got back to my apartment because also it's just absurdly hot in New York. So yeah,

coming out of Penn Station at like 9 30 a.m on Monday morning and it was like 95 degrees already and I was like this is this is it I was like I'm not gonna make it had impact one single thing but honey you're here but you made it yeah exactly and into carry on

fuck yeah and it's so impressive when when people keep asking us like do you have all your stuff i'm like yep yep it's just not it's so cute and little right you know we're just we're efficient we're good at it and we when we checked in to the fiji airways leg of the flight we went up to the nice man at the desk and he was like you got are you checking any bags and he said no and then he looked at his computer and he goes but you came from jfk i said yeah we did he's

He's like, did you get your bags? I'm like, yeah, they're right here. Got them. Yeah. He's like, wow. No, no checked bags. Yeah. Yeah. Nope. God, this is it right here. They wanted to put us up there as poster, as poster children. Yeah. For on how people should travel. Well done on the, just bring a carry on. You don't need to check your bag or actually they would probably hate that because then they have to, it is like such an obnoxious thing to brag about. And I hate when other people do it. And I have, and I didn't like,

like if i've i've gone on trips where i've checked a bag and like i've had friends be like why would you like me carry that's me yeah but i do certain ones you have to check no no you have to totally absolutely but now i am starting to get into the carry-on snobbery where i'm like what what you got what do you got in there oh you don't have a cube you don't have a cube

I was like looking at all this, this whole experience is like a once in a lifetime type opportunity for myself. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't think any of us can say right now we'll be back to Fiji. I wasn't even saying Fiji. I'm just saying like the flight, like the flight alone. Yeah, I mean, it's a once in a lifetime experience. Flying business class on an international flight. Flying business class on an international flight. Yeah.

comes with perks so we got to go to the lounge which i was like the lady was like there's two lounges what do you want i'm like what's better like what do you like better give me the best one she's like well this one has a patio i'm like all right i'm there so the fire and just like

I can't get over it. Like, everything's free. I'm like, what? Like, everything's free? They really do pack it into the ticket. You know? Yeah. I'm like, you know what? Maybe it's worth it. It is packed into all the amenities. I thought Noah was going to sit in that seat for the full 11 hours wide awake. I thought he would. Just so he didn't miss one single moment of the flight. You know how, like...

like when usually when you're on a flight you're like the second they start taxing like it starts moving I'm like oh thank God this time I'm like already like already right away yeah no I I'm like I've only had one glass of champagne we were landing Noah Texas the group five more minutes no I'm so with you because I woke up with about I want to say four hours left it's 11 hour flight I woke up with about four hours left probably fell asleep around 10 like with 10 whatever

And I was like, yes. Like, I was like, oh my God, I get to experience the next four hours awake in this seat. Like I was, you guys didn't see me. Cause you guys, I looked at all of you. You all were asleep. I was, I was stretching in the middle of the aisle. Like I was like, I was like, wow. You know, everyone's like, it's just like that sense of like, wow, everyone's asleep right now. And like,

it's like you're dead but i'm alive no no this is opposite everyone else is dead and i'm alive and i was like i was like stretching in the aisle like cracking my hips around i was like put my arms like big stretches quietly quietly of course um i put friends on i was like oh this is like i'm back at home watching friends like snuggled up um and then i fell back asleep for just like

a touch longer maybe like an extra hour which i thought was appropriate orange shoes a hot towel i was a hot towel i was like this is seriously a once in a lifetime experience where it's like what is happening what did you do with the hotel i rubbed it on my face and my neck and then after i did that i was like

I don't know what kind of bacteria is on here. Let me tell you something. That's all right. I've thought about that many times and sometimes I just hold it up to my face and take a nice deep breath because like sometimes they smell really nice. They smell good. But

Because then I'm like, oh, these are hot. And I'm on a plane. Do I really want to be opening my pores? I want them shut tight. Right. At this point, I was just, give it to me. No, no. Fucking put this hot towel on my face. These specific ones smelled really good, too. It was just incredible. Yeah, they were infused with something. I teared up a couple of times within those last four hours where I was looking out the window really like, hmm.

Like this is, this is a moment. Like I was really, I was taking in the moment. I had two windows. I had that moment watching. Cause I was watching the latest Love Island episode.

on the way like on the plane on the way and i like pulled up the map of like the plane live view of like where it was going i was like oh my god we're just we're all just on our way when we run our way when we landed it was 5 45 a.m i was like oh my god they're waking up for like an hour like this is crazy but i just want to say like not to get super sentimental and emotional because i know some people in the group like can't handle it that well you two specifically both of you um

I will... We're not like that. Yeah, you're not. And that's okay. I'm going to give myself the space to be for a second. Yes, as you... I think that... You and Sarah just go in that room. I think that this is just a really, really cool moment for all of us as a team to experience together once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. And I'm really thankful that it's with you guys. Wow. We've been together...

since the beginning. It's been Noah recording us since the beginning. Nobody else. Like, just to think about how far back and now we're in Fiji together. It is crazy. It is. It is crazy. I'm asking 2017.

Like when we were in the merch closet, they were like, you'll be in Fiji. No, just couldn't imagine it. Just couldn't imagine it. And I just, I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful for you. I wouldn't want to do this with anybody else. And I'm just so happy to be here. You absolute sweetheart. That's... I'm like...

no it is um no stop this is embarrassing we're crying right now but it's so cool we're in motherfucking it's just like wow like i like never thought growing up that i would ever see like like

Going to Florida was like sick. You know, like it's just like I... It's just so cool that we get to have these experiences. It's a place so many people, you know, have on their list. Yeah. And never get to go. And we were given an incredibly amazing opportunity to be here. And...

It is awesome. Also, everyone in Fiji, including the people on the plane who are working, are just so nice. Everyone's so nice. Everyone is so nice here. Bula. Bula. Oh, my God. Wait, are we going to talk about that? You know, you didn't Google common Fijian phrases before you came here. No, I didn't. Did you guys? I did. No, I didn't, but you had heard that. I just want like...

Like, please, thank you. Yeah. No. Yes. But at that point, when this happened, which we haven't actually said what happened yet, you like we had all like heard people say it already. Did you think people were just saying the other word? I didn't hear any like. It wasn't registering. Yeah. It wasn't registering. Yes, I did say hola instead of hula. To a.

a out the car to a kid was hanging his head out the car of a truck and he looked at me said bula and i said hola and then our driver was like no it's bula um and now i've been saying bula and look now you know now you know and now i know it's actually a very fun word to say it is awesome it's an awesome word although i've been saying like i feel like a fraud when i say it because it's like well you know i don't know

I think this, being in this part of the world actually just feels like an alternate universe because we just don't, like, I almost feel like I'm in the, like, the metaverse. And this is...

Or like... Yeah, because there's so many different types. Or it's like Spider-Man and there's just different versions of us. But they're the Australian girls on vacation. They're on holiday here. Because it's a whole different... So many Australians. A lot of Australians. It is the winter. There's a lot of winter trips and such. And there's a lot of families here too. I'm just like, oh my God, this is just...

just take the world you know just flip it it's crazy it reminds me of when um upside down stephanie and uh michelle got sent to new zealand by accident yep that's me and you sent to fiji by accident i will say though it's pretty cool matt got me this travel journal recently because of like all the cool traveling we've been doing um separately and for this yeah for this show um

And I'm excited to like really dive in. I feel like I'm going to like do day by day, like not just as a trip, like I'm just going to do day by day because it really is so important to take in every moment, you know, because sometimes in life and, you know, everybody listening, this is like a lesson, you know, get poetic for a second. You're always like thinking about the next thing you have to do or sometimes you're thinking about the next thing you have to do.

But you really just got to enjoy the moment that you're in. And the next thing that you have to do will come. So you might as well enjoy the moment that you're in before you get to that next moment. So this journal is kind of like a way to appreciate all those moments and a way to look back on. And I'm excited. That is nice. And I'm excited to journal about this little trip.

And it's also just a great way to remember everything that you did and what you were doing. Exactly. And everything. Exactly. For all types of trips, I find that too. Like sometimes even like Joe and I go away and then I'm like, oh my God, a month later, I'm like, wait, what did we do that day? I'm like, why did I not write this shit down? And then you write it down and you have that to look back on. A lot of the time, like,

My favorite part looking back is like, or the most excited I was, was like the anticipation of a trip and like leading up to it. And then like once I'm on the trip, I'm already like, fuck, I only have two days. Like I'm just like. Sometimes it goes by so fast. Like even today on the beach, I looked up at the palm trees. I said, wow. I sound, I honestly sound like.

I'm on shrooms right now. I swear I'm not. It really, I just was like, we are a little loopy. It's been, we've been awake for like three days, I think. Yeah, you're right. But I looked up at the, and I was like,

It's just palm tree. You know, it's just like simple, like simplifying it and going, this is just really awesome. Yeah. So I'm like this. No, it's sorry. There's no reason to stop. It is so nice. I said, I've just been looking forward to like waking up in the morning and just like stepping outside and just like, just like,

Deep breathing. Putting your feet in the grass. Touching earth. Watching the sun. Being one with nature. It was. I mean, we really did get the full morning experience because we were here at 6 a.m. Yes. So the full shebang. Like really seeing the sun come up and everything was incredible. Same. Yeah. Same. It's going to be right. They say they're pretty good here.

Dang. I'm a sucker for a sunset. Aren't we all? It's only like, it's crazy how early it sets here. Like you said 545. It's winter. It's winter. That is also crazy that people are like, yeah, it's only winter here. Do you guys remember the Phineas and Ferb? It's winter.

I know I wasn't really I could lie and say I could lie and say yeah I appreciate you not lying about it but no it's winter oh fuck I'm not singing the right beat but it's winter I feel like I'm making something up right now oh swinter song Phineas and Ferb okay there it is yeah mm-hmm that's a thing do Phineas and Ferb sing it or just somebody is somebody else involved is a song from the Phineas and Ferb episode swinter no it was sung by Alison Stoner mm-hmm so it's a sister

No, Alison Stoner wasn't the sister. Ashley Tisdale was the sister. Oh, yes. Alison Stoner was one of the friends. Oh. It's summer and winter together. It's swinter. That's what this is. That's how I would describe VG. Swinter. It's so true. It's summer and winter together. It is. It's swinter. Yep. On that note, anything else before we get into the topics? Anything else funny that happened?

Guys, we had a very smooth trip. It was all pretty smooth, which is always like, it's great, but unfortunate for podcasts. For podcasts. Right. When you say, oh, any stories? Nobody missed a flight. No. No bags were lost. Listen, we have... Oh, actually, I don't want to spoil it. Yeah, never mind. We have...

a couple of days ahead of us, I'm sure there'll be something. Yeah, for sure. Don't I, there's no doubt in my mind. Sure. There's something coming up. Yeah. Um, all right. It was when Noah gets a few beach cocktails, right? You know, his wild ass all over Fiji. Um, all right, let's get into the rest of the episode. Um,

Emma Roberts is engaged. Congratulations, Emma Roberts. I wonder if she's been celebrating in mom talk. Andy Cohen agrees that Real Housewives of New Jersey needs to be rebranded. Um, Ingrid Andress, who sang the national anthem at the Home Run Derby. Yep. Um,

is now off to rehab after that little singing stint. And we have a great interview with Ariana Maddox talking about this season of Love Island USA. So let's get into it. The MMA event of the year, Battle of the Giants, is coming up fast.

Lineal heavyweight world champion Francis Ngannou makes his return to the cage versus Hanan Ferreira. Women's MMA GOAT Chris Cyborg takes on 2023 PFL champ Larissa Pacheco.

Congratulations to Emma Roberts. Engaged.

To be honest, I don't even really know if she had a man right now. Neither did I. And she posted that she was letting everybody know before her mom did. Yeah, because I think that's happened. I want to say maybe with a picture of her child. I think her mom posted a picture of her child. Yeah. And she was like, mom, what the fuck? I could be wrong on that. But it was some instance in her life. Yes. That her mom shared. And she was like,

didn't tell you to do that. And I actually really wish you didn't. Wish you did not do that, but you did. And there's no taking it back. Kind of like when John Mulaney posted a picture with the ring on his hand and he couldn't take it back and then it was revealed that they got married. Right, and then they did get married later. But yes. I know, very tumultuous up and down for Emma Roberts in her personal life, I would say. And she's now engaged to Cody John, I believe his name is, who...

It seems like they keep their life pretty private, not too much. I believe they were both in Montauk when I was out east. It seems like Emma Roberts is frequenting Montauk these days. I actually heard Bethany Frank. This is a side topic, but I have been...

by Bethany Frankel's TikToks and I'm not so super excited to say that. But it ebbs and flows with her. Like sometimes you're locked in and then sometimes you're like, oh God, like I cannot listen to you talk again. Like sometimes her videos are so frustrating and then sometimes you're like,

You laugh maybe. I think that's mainly how I feel where I'm like frustrated, but I can't look away at the same time when she's like trying to crack open crab legs and eat them. And I'm like, right. Is she going to get to the story or are we just going to keep cracking the crab legs? Right.

um but did she mention emma roberts was at a party so i feel like she's been frequenting that area but yeah this relationship is more private which is a bit opposite of the one with evan peters which was um in the media quite often when she was with evan peters yeah for not a lot of good stuff no no not for good reason she was with garrett uh headland as well they have their son roads there's not really too much um

About this man. Did you watch Scream Queens? Sure did. Fucking love Scream Queens. I feel like that's one I missed out on. I feel like I really missed out on Scream Queens. I feel like that really like would have been a perfect show for me. Go back and watch. Really? Yeah. I think it, yeah. I think it would still hit. Shit. The first season, like I think they only, did they do two seasons? That's the one where it's like meet Chanel number one. Chanel number two. Yes. Yeah.

And that was really my first introduction to Glenn Powell. He's in Scream Queens. Sure is. Do you know that it's the summer of Glenn Powell? I mean, yes. So people are saying. Yeah, it is. This is the summer of Glenn Powell. It goes without saying. Have you seen the man? Did you see the picture of him and his family? And everyone was like, Glenn Powell with his family. And everyone was like, we know. Because they all have the same exact open mouth smile. Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Yep. And now people are like, oh, he loves his family. That's nice. They're like nitpicking these like very, very little things. Oh, Glenn Powell loves his dog and his family and always looks like he's having a good time. Yep. Yep. I mean, the man's unstoppable right now. Yeah, he's having a great summer. He really is. Scream Queens was two seasons. Oh, easy peasy. I'll fly right through that. Yeah. I'll watch it on the way home. It is...

That first season is so good. Is it scary? Is that a dumb question? No, it's like stupid scary. Like Pretty Little Liars? Pretty Little Liars is like reaching a point where it was like a little spooky. No, it's like satire scary. Like it's scary, but it's...

so over the top that it's ridiculous you know right like you're like they don't actually want you to be scared like yeah they're they want you watching it going okay that's at least how i found it to be like it's not you know not actually scared literally listen emma roberts abigail breslin billy lord leah michelle jamie lee curtis glenn powell kiki palmer nick jonas nick jonas goes on nisi nash oliver hudson john stamos big pause on nick jonas there i forgot his role

um nick jonas was a like frat guy at the college him and him in uh glenn powell it seems like more broadway things are happening with nick more or there was a movie that was being made no i think the movie that he was filming with um i think it's with paul rudd in the one he was filming in dublin got like picked up by paramount or lionsgate

uh some one of the big ones one of the big guys picked him up yeah right off the floor yes you're mine good i mean good news for him he's been doing it means bad bad news got a new song coming out this week bad news for the brothers as a whole wow no that wouldn't actually make sense sorry what i thought the song was gonna come out i was like am i gonna get the song a day before everybody else i thought that too but no it'll be like it'll probably be like i think it all goes by like yeah it goes like new york time yeah

It'll be like midnight New York time. All this casting talk reminded me that I ran into one of my favorite actors yesterday. Wait, this actually was so funny. Well, I saw this guy. It's also very funny that we finished the intro and we were like, did anything else happen? We're like, no. And now we remember that's what we did happen. Then we started talking about like, yeah. Yeah. Don't you forget the things. The teen shows, that type of thing. Yeah. No, I saw this guy. We were getting drinks in the...

Lounge. No big deal. And I was like, wait, why don't I know that guy? He, at first, my first instinct was he was on The Bachelor. He was a villain on The Bachelor. No, it was like, that guy's on The Bachelor. I was like, no, he was not. And Fran was like, no. And I'm like, all right. He was like a bad guy in something. I'm like, well, and like for 20 minutes, I'm like, who's this guy? And I'm like, wait, 13 reasons. 13 reasons why. And it was him. And I looked him up. It took him a while to work it out. Timothy Granaderos. Shout out, Timothy. Yeah.

It took him a while. And by the way, you would have thought Noah's never interacted with anybody in the celebrity world ever in his life the way he was acting in this lounge with this guy. Yeah, we had Kate Upton in the studio last week. First of all, he was...

staring at him and like when it was noah sarah myself were at the bar he walked by noah's just like watching him go by watching because i was no it wasn't like me being in starstruck it was just me being like who is this guy like why i was staring at him like who are you it was him but you were just like you were imagine somebody was you were just sitting about they're staring at you they're going like this yeah and they're staring at you and then when we walked out he was like

Like, see, like he said it literally so loud. You said it so loud. And I will say this. I hadn't caught up to you guys yet because this is random backstory, but I have TSA pre, but I have, I just got it. So I have to put the number into the ticket, whatever. So it's not registered. So I had to do regular security. And, and,

So I was a little late to meeting you guys at the lounge. And the first thing I sit down to the guy, you watch 13 reasons why I'm like, literally not even hello. Like we hadn't seen each other yet. Do you watch 13 reasons why I'm like, I saw the first season. Did you watch the whole thing though? I'm like, what? He's like the bully, the bullies in there. And he keeps going. So then you might as well have thought Brad Pitt was sitting in the lounge with us. I go get some water.

don't know if this was placebo in my brain if I was fucking hearing things or what but his friend said to him that's my 13th reason yeah like they were in a conversation and his friend said to him that's my 13th reason and I was like did they all laugh

I didn't hear any laughter after. Do you think they do that all the time with him? What? Do you think they always do that with him? No, I literally like got my water and like scurried back. Like I was like, it's a meme. Right. And as soon as I sat down to tell Noah, I was like, this sounds like I'm just making up a fake story. I'm like, did I just imagine that I heard that because I wanted that to be the reaction or

Or did his friend just really fucking say that to him? The thing, I think the reason why like I recognize him and it stuck in my head was because he had some, that show was ridiculous by the way. Like, especially after the first week. Yeah. If anyone stuck around and watched all the seasons, it turned into like the most insane show ever. Like they just kept trying to one up themselves and he had like,

one of the most disgusting and like brutal graphic like bully scenes that I've ever seen. Yeah, I recall that. So maybe that's why like... And I'm like, there he is. He left a mark. He left a mark on you. Yeah, as you walked out of the lounge, you were like, see ya. No, you said...

hand up at the air, bye 13 Reasons guy. I'm like, oh yeah, that is loud. I don't know if it was that loud. No, it was loud. It was like, and we were in an airport lounge. It was actually very quiet in the lounge. An airport lounge at 10 p.m. where people are sleeping. Yeah, you were fully giggling to it. Bye 13 Reasons guy. I wonder why he was headed to the Philippines. Well, we told Noah, we were like, please go ask him for a picture. Oh yeah, check his Instagram. Oh my God, his story is going to the Philippines.

phil be no he yeah you were really locked in i think you're way bigger fan of this guy i was like you should really go ask for a picture like go no you wanted me to save the moment forever it's like really just to remember the moment for mr mr starstruck i would have just been curious to see if i posted that like how many people if i was like who knows this person

Oh, that's mean though to do to him. He's an actor. Not in a mean way. Right, but if you posted a picture with him and wrote how many people after being obsessed with him for an hour and then write It was the only thing you talked about for the entire time we sat out the lounge. How many people know this guy? Totally. But how many people know this guy? That would be so fucked up. What do you think?

the key one is that just one of your polls Noah yeah I actually go through life in just in terms of would this be a good poll yeah

Oh my God. The Noah Ives Instagram lives on. Congratulations to Emma Roberts. No, I've got, watch Scream Queens. I think you would like it. I will. I'm definitely going to watch that.

Um, moving on. Andy Cohen said that he does agree that Real Housewives of New Jersey needs a rebrand, which I think everybody can agree on because none of these ladies can be even in the same room without breaking out into a screaming fight where they're throwing things at each other. You know, it's been that way since season one, but...

It's a different level. No, it's different. It's the same shit over and over and over. It's deja vu. Like, we're watching the same fights. We're watching Teresa hate the same people. We're watching her say the same things over and over. If you can tell, that's who I think she's got to go. And the weird thing is that people think that I would think maybe the opposite. Like, I agree with you. No, I mean, Teresa has her massive fans. I think she has, like,

we just want the Teresa show. No, which is so fair, which is why I'm like, if that's the case, give her her own show. Yeah. I'm totally fine with that. And by the way, I have been watching this season. Of course, I've, you know, I've missed the last episode, but I am pretty up to date. And like, Gia's a housewife.

Like Gia, she's fully involved. She's doing confessionals. She's stirring the pot. Like she went to a party in one of the last episodes where she said to Jen Fessler, she was like, oh, I heard that John Fuda said that like she's in the mix. They're talking, someone's talking about me, whatever. So I'm like, she's basically a cast member at this point. Just like,

Give them the Teresa show. Like just put the whole family, give them their own show. Jennifer Aiden can go be a cast member on that show. And I understand the like Teresa, get your own show. But I think in Teresa's mind and in her world, like,

Real Housewives of New Jersey is her show. Totally. And was her show. Totally. So I feel like she wouldn't want a new name. Like, I feel like in her eyes, she's like, well, I am Real Housewives of New Jersey. So like, I'll keep this show. And if everyone else wants another show, go put them on that one. Well, then she's got to put on a different hat because it's just not enjoyable to watch her show.

try and take down somebody every single season. And like the, the, the behind the scenes stuff that they're stirring and talking to the bloggers and getting their stories out. And, and it's the same, like,

I don't think Margaret is totally innocent in anything too. Margaret also 100% stirs the pot and gets involved and gets in the drama and is saying shit. And, but now it's just like, it took on a whole new life form that like, I think it was, oh, draw a show drama, show drama. And now it's like,

too serious right it's gotten deep and i sorry frog in my throat ribbit um oh my god let me let me let me grab some of my water yeah unbranded yes um there is i will say andy was asked is it time is it not time for a rebrand and he had said yes this was on radio his radio show he said i think it's time to do what happened in new york

Oh no, this is what the caller said. The caller said, I think it's time to do what happened in New York. Bring fresh faces in. Like the fan had said, like loves the fresh faces, like Danielle and Rachel coming into New York.

And she, the fan said the negativity from the other cast members, like just set them free, let them move on. Uh, and Andy said, I agree. We're going to figure something out. We're all on the same page about that. And here's the thing. As time goes on and life goes on, this is going to have to be the way like,

Yeah. You're going to have to get new cast members for the shows. Like that's just life. And that's just how it's going to be too. Like I think where they struggle is they try and keep the OGs and then bring in the younger women and they're not all going to be best friends. Like it's just a tougher dynamic because there's not a lot of, you know, women in their fifties and sixties that are hanging out all the time with women in their thirties. So yeah,

For New York, like, it did work doing a full, here's an entire new cast. I don't know if they need to do that with New Jersey. I think there are, like, bare bones. Like, I think the bones are there to, like, restructure it. I think Danielle is hysterical. I mean, I don't know. It's just, like, there's certain things that's just absurd. Like, she makes great... I think she makes for great reality TV. But...

Then it's like you get sentimental, right? Because I'm like, what? I mean, I have Melissa and Joe Gorga on my TV. Like, well, you can't. So I'm like, no, you can't like rebrand. But I don't know where everybody's gone. I don't know. They'll figure something out. I have faith that they'll work something out for the franchise because everyone was so nervous about what was going to happen with New York. And I think it ended up

being like the best case scenario. And I think for New York, it's only going to get better as it goes on. And I feel like that will be the case for any of these shows. It'll get better as it goes on. Definitely. But I'd like to hear that Andy knows that

uh yeah there's something needs to change and i like when he's honest about that yeah it's like all right we all know what's going on last topic so this was big all over social media ingrid andress who is a singer she sang the national anthem for the home run derby and you know the last there's been a couple of national anthems that have really you know taken on its own beast fergie let's play some

Which, you know, Fergie is a phenomenal singer. She took some creative liberties on that one. Correct. You know, she changed the entire melody. Exactly. Yeah. This one was just out of control. Yeah. And it had everybody going, what the fuck? Who?

the, you know, there are a ton of people who are fans of her, but people who were just hearing her for the first time were like, what is going on? And she has now taken it upon herself to check into rehab because she said that she was drunk and she is now going to go check into rehab. Yeah. First of all, good for her that that was like the, the, the realization that's extremely hard. You were just on national TV and this is the conversation that you just absolutely flubbed the national anthem and you're, and,

And so bad that you go to rehab. Like, it's like you also, it's just so crazy to me. She is, she is very popular and I'm sure she has a team of people around her. And I don't know, of course I don't like, I don't want to speculate on what the issues have been or if it's been an ongoing thing, like where her, her team is a used to it and puts up with it kind of thing. But it's like crazy to me that she,

no one would have said, we can't, we can't, you can't sing the national anthem at the home run Derby right now. Right. But we don't know what, you know, I don't know what's going on behind closed doors in that world. You know? Also, maybe this was the best thing to happen to her. Right. You know, maybe this happening was like a huge wake up call. Right. And if she needs help, she's getting it. Like we don't know any background. Like she posted this on her story that she was going to rehab. Um,

We don't know much other than that. And also what her background is with drinking and alcohol and what her relationship is. So like, like you said, don't want to speculate on that. Like, don't want to just like throw things at her that we know nothing about. But it was talk about taking ownership. You're like, look guys, I'm, I apologize. Then we'll be like, yeah, I was like, right. Like I was fucked up. And, but also like,

like she's gonna turn her life around like literally maybe this was a good thing that happened to her like bad bad right you know it's bad but on the other side of it it's like maybe she really needed yeah to get to that point yeah to my only thing and i'm not taking anything away from anything here but like beyonce i feel like could be blackout drunk and she'd still sound amazing

You know, yeah. Yes and no. You never know. You never know where it goes. Right. And you never know because you can just, you could be doing that for a long time and pulling it off. You know, I'm sure there's a long line of history of rock and rollers that are singing and whatever. But like,

It was just so off. Sometimes you just can be caught on a bad night. She had a moment. And here's the thing. Some people are bad singers until you get alcohol on them and they become great singers. And then maybe there's some great singers out there that you get alcohol on them and they become bad singers, which feels like maybe what happened last night. Or maybe like...

She just went off the path. Yeah, look, it just sounds like there was a plethora of issues, right? Like, who knows if she could hear her own voice? Like, and then there's just so many things. There was a whole thing. And she didn't try and make a single excuse. Like, it wasn't like blame. It was just like, look, this is... Blame it on the alcohol. This is the scenario. And she is...

She is seeking help for that. So I, you know, we can only applaud her for that. It is absolutely. I don't know if we will ever get a national anthem quite like that. I mean, props to her for, you know, owning that, talking about it publicly, because I imagine it's not easy for her right now to see this all over the place and everybody ripping into her and her being like, Ooh,

I got to get this figured out. Yeah. So, yeah. Spin zone. Maybe not the best spin zone, but it absolutely went insanely viral. And I'm sure a lot of people are looking her up in a way that in the long run could if she...

you know, gets the help that she needs and takes care of herself and hopefully comes out the other side and rehab does what it needs to do for her. She may have a whole new plethora of listeners coming out. You know, that is a great point. So true friend, because we were listening to some of her songs before. Yeah. They're great that we had never heard before. Yeah. So there are maybe some people out there that are doing the same thing going, wow, she's great. Yep.

She's nothing like the anthem she sang. Caught her on a real bad night. Real bad night. But I do bet she has some new fans. Yeah. I think that is it. And not only that, but just like new fans of respecting that move to be like, this is what I'm doing. All of it, all around. Yeah, absolutely. All right, that wraps up the topics for today.

All right, everyone. We are here with a very, very special guest in Fiji. We are joined by the host of Love Island USA, Ariana Maddox. Thank you so much for joining us. Hi, thanks for having me. Welcome to Fiji. This is from the studio in New York.

I saw this beautiful hotel in Fiji. Yeah, we are. Thank you for welcoming us here. Yeah, of course. No, I saw your TikTok. So you were like on it talking about it and being like, we want to come to Fiji. So I'm excited. I know. Yeah. And now here we are. It's honestly freaking us out a little bit that it happened that way, but happy to be here. You are. We really got to do that more.

Yeah, maybe just speak things out. I said it was like Travis Kelsey with the friendship bracelet. Like, oh, he had a dream and like we had a dream and we're in Fiji. Yeah, exactly. But you are absolutely crushing it as the host of Love Island USA. Like,

Everything top to bottom, all the looks. I think, you know, people are raving about the looks this season. It's just incredible. It's jaw dropping every time. Yeah, really. Every single time you step into that villa, I think us and the Islanders are like, it's a bombshell. They've been confused, I think. How, what's the process been like getting ready to host? Like how much prep time did you have for taking over this job? Yeah, so I found out in,

I think it was maybe February or March that it was like you know things were maybe happening and then you know all that stuff has to get worked out and everything but I you know I finished my run on Broadway April 7th because we extended so then from April 7th

I was like, I gotta, you know, and people were like, you gotta get on your zoom. I was like, I gotta get on my, I gotta get on like a fitness journey here. Like I gotta, you know, right. Cause you were so out of shape coming off Broadway. Yeah.

like in my life, the stars, I feel like it had gone like dancing with the stars. I was like in a really great spot. And then for like from between dancing with the stars until I started rehearsing for Broadway, I was like, I don't want to do, I was like, I just want to lay. And so there was a lot of that. And then of course it's winter in New York. So you're like, you're really wanting to like just be inside, be warm. So I just wasn't really doing a lot of physical stuff. Um,

And so then I was like, all right, girl, you got to really, you got to lock it in. I was like, because...

I don't want to be walking in there. And I know as a fan that everything's filmed from every single angle. There's no like, oh, it's fine if like this does, you know, and I didn't want to be, I got to look good in slow-mo. Right. Yeah. Which is like, it's a lot of pressure. But you look incredible, like jaw dropping every single time. The last time that we talked to you, you mentioned, you know, you just got to New York. How was that? Getting accustomed to the cold weather. You said you wanted to get like the biggest jacket you can find. And I did. Yeah.

I have literally, I went to North Face and I ended up getting, they had a puffer coat in there that was like, that goes to the ground. Yeah. And it was, but it was wide and it has wide arms. So if I squat down and I just, I can look like a little... A glue marshmallow. Yeah, marshmallow or something. But yes, I did get the biggest puffer coat I could possibly find. It worked out great. It was, it was nice. It was...

you know, I hadn't lived a winter in a while, but it was, I feel like a fairly mild one. Yeah. Definitely. It was good. It was not that bad. And also now you've gone from that to full blown living in Fiji. Tropical. Right. The contrast. It's technically winter here too, I think. It is technically winter here. I haven't been here in the summer, but I'm like, if this is winter, I can only imagine. It's gorgeous. How has it been spending all your time here and even just like living here? It's,

It's been really nice. You know, we have our group, you know, me, Maura, Sully, and then all the amazing people that we work with that it's fun when we all get the same day off because then we can maybe go on a little adventure. We go out to dinner. Everybody that we work with is awesome. So we've just been kind of bopping around here and there and gotten a little bit of a routine down. You know, I just walk to the gym and then...

you know, I'll go to the little market and, you know, the market at a hotel is obviously going to be a little limited. So like the girl dinners that I have in my hotel room sometimes are a little limited.

I feel like that's what makes a good girl dinner. It makes no sense from one, from what we just walked in. I imagine like there's chip, there's chips and cookies. Yeah. You like find like one individually wrapped cucumber. You're like, I'll take it to throw in the mix. Yeah. Yeah. You guys look like you're having an absolute blast. I mean, from the outside looking in, it's like FOMO, like all the dinners, the excursions, you guys had Johnny bananas. He's a blast. I'm sure that was a trip.

Yeah. He really is. But I think what also has been so cool watching you is that you were such a fan of the show before getting this job. And now you're crushing it as, as both. I wanted to ask you, cause I think this would be my biggest thing. Like,

how hard is it to restrain yourself when you're walking in the villa and you've seen, you know, you've seen the episodes, you've seen what they're saying in their confessionals and everything. And you're like, Oh my God, like how hard is it to not insert yourself? It's really hard. It's really hard. And sometimes, you know, um,

There will be something someone is saying and they're talking about how they're feeling. And I feel a very different way because maybe I've seen everything or they're talking about someone that I'm like,

And I'm just like, that's nice. You know, like whatever it is that I say that I have in my mind, I'm like, is the telepathy working? Are you picking up what I'm trying to say? Yeah, exactly. But, you know, it's it is hard. It's really hard because, yeah, there's so many things that as viewers, we see every single episode top to bottom. And I'm

On top of that, there's things that not only have the Islanders not seen in terms of things that have happened, but they're also not privy to like maybe just like different conversations that other people have had that when they're not there. And although I have a feeling, I think a few opinions of theirs might change once they see everything. But I think for the most part, I think everyone's pretty much

you know, I would say like their dynamics, I don't know, would change much from what they may or may not see when they come out. Right. Except for a couple of things. Right. There are a couple of things that we were all waiting for movie night because we needed people to see, AKA Aaron and Kayla. We really wanted Kayla to like open her eyes and,

It does not seem like it's going down that path. She continues to stay with him. I know you're the host, but you obviously have opinions about the show as well. Yes, of course. Watching, are you a bit frustrated? I mean, yes and no, because she's a very young girl and she's with him 24 hours a day. So she's able to kind of

I don't want to say like the wool pulled over her eyes a little bit because he's giving her the kisses and the flirting and the jokes and the romance and the love. Yeah, he's giving her all of that. So that's what she's seeing. So I don't fault her for that by any means. And she's also very young. I know she really, really wanted to come in here and find love. So I feel like once she felt like she found it, she didn't want to let it go, which I totally understand. Don't want to fault her at all for that. But...

I think that, you know, I do wish when she said that she was going to remain single after what she had seen from the thing that Casa, uh,

I was like, wow, I just love that. Like that's so strong because you know, when you're single in the villa, you are vulnerable of being eliminated. The host voice just came out. Single and vulnerable. You are now single. And so I understand it's a risk doing that, but I thought that was such a strong and amazing choice that her and Serena both made. Um,

But once she saw him, it was like all of that went out the window. I think that, yeah, it's, I know that it's hard for her, but I hope that, and listen, he's always there. He's always there. And he is very funny and he's very jovial and he's,

I can see how someone would be into it. I can see how that would happen. So I don't, I can't, even when I've come in, he'll be like, you look really pretty, or he'll give me like a little like, and I'm like, hi.

You know, like he's that perfect, like he has that full British like cheekiness. Like it's like the perfect. He's so cheeky. And everything too. He's so cheeky. Yeah. I could imagine maybe that's one of the things that might change out of the villa. But as for their friendships, it seems like. I just wish she like, I just wish she,

put up a little bit of a fight. Like one night. Yes. Like even if you get back together it's fine. Like don't go sleep outside with him on the first night. Right. Like make him actually maybe think for a second that he's lost you. Because the whole time he was like no. He was like I know we'll be good. I know we'll be good. Yeah he tried to say

to her like they were still in a couple and I had to tell him to move over yeah because I also knew in my mind that if he sat next to her he would probably whisper things to her like throughout the rest of it and just immediately start turning the tides and so I wanted her to have the support of the girls because

and the way he was like we'll talk about it later I'm like stop trying to get her away from her support system and you're like I got plenty of time let's talk about it right now that's what this is here for you're not gonna because you can't just say hey we'll have these conversations right and even he does that the other day in the game the Mr. and Mrs. game he was like I was like can you explain why you wrote that it was like one of the answers whatever and I it's I don't think I can't remember if it's in the episode or not but I was like can you explain your reasoning like why you thought that and he was like oh well it's and I was like no I

I'm asking you. I want to know. Also, I want to know. You want to know. The viewers want to know. And I think the viewers are thankful that you're like, no, we have time because we don't want to hear that it was a conversation that happened that we didn't see. For sure. And also, if it's something boring and it doesn't matter, they'll be like, we don't need this anyways. But also, I think it is something that's going to be interesting. So they're probably like, yes, please, let's go. Yeah.

I mean, the way that this season has blown up on social media, it has truly taken on a world of its own. I'm sure you've seen it. Like, it's gone crazy. There are die-hard fans for, like, everything.

Every Islander on the show. Some people are getting like, you know, a ton of hate as well, which is a lot that like I, and do they have any idea of how big this show has gotten? No, they have no idea. They're not prepared for what they're about to see when they come out. No, because it's not like there's been times where,

you know, I'm privy to the information of, let's say, um, wow, we had the most people voting in that one that we've ever had. Something like that. Yeah. But when I go in and say the public has been voting, I never say we got the most votes we've ever gotten or anything like that. So there's like no way for them to know. Right. And,

And you can even see it when they talk about it in just the last episode of like Kayla being like, I don't know if they're seeing something and that I'm not. And, and they don't like me. And, you know, Serena's like, they haven't liked me, but it's like, they have no, they have no clue. Like how everybody's reacting to that tweet about Leah, but everybody loves Leah. That was in that thing. So she must think she has no idea that she has this huge support system that she's going to walk out to.

What is your take on people shipping Leah and Rob back together? I am not here for that. I am not here for it. Obviously, I won't be swaying anything or whatever. But personally, I think that the way that things were when they got together in the very beginning, while initially they did, I saw some cute moments. Obviously, we all did. I think that...

going back is like not the move. And I think that Miguel has given her so much more than she ever got from Rob that she ever maybe would get from Rob. And I just think that I just, I know. Yeah. No, I'm not here for it. Right. No. And we said this as like a,

Reality TV perspective watching It would be insane Like it would be like Oh my god this is great TV But we can't We can't have it happen It's toxic We can't have it happen We're not watching one tree No We're watching like real people Miguel's choking her with fire

Literally. So what? That was insane. By the way, I was like, oh my God. Right. Like I was like, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. No, they have, they have insane physical chemistry, but it is, it is funny. And I think it's also kind of comforting to know that when you're online and you see the people being like, they shouldn't be together, but I don't know, like maybe it would like actually

actually be great. And then you hear the girls and the guys in the villa, their own friends being like, but are you sure? Like, cause I think they all, everyone just seems to love them both individually so much. And that's hard. Cause like when you're friends with two people and you love them both, you're like, oh, but maybe it could work. But I'd be like, can we, can we take, get a history lesson? Yeah. Right. I don't think Rob apologized nearly enough. Like when, when Leah has not, she gets apologizing.

And I want to be like, it's so hard. I want to be like, you don't have to. I promise. When she apologized, it was like, okay. Like she felt like she wanted to apologize and that's fine. Like everyone knew that she was rightfully angry, but she felt like she wanted to apologize. So, okay.

And then he was like, you know, like, I'm not perfect. People make mistakes. I was like, I'm sorry. I was saying I'm sorry too. I was like, I'm just like, just get there. Just say you're sorry too. So we can all stop being fools for rooting for you in some capacity. Yeah. But he just...

Yeah. The Rob and Aaron breakup has been teased in front of us a few times now and every time it's like the world is ending and then they just like can't. I don't know. One of them is going to have to move to where the other one lives. No, how are they

going to live without each other at this point? Forget Kayla and Aaron struggling like being long distance. He's got to move to wherever Rob's living. Yeah, exactly. And then I think about it. I'm like, doesn't Rob live in like Alabama? Like I can't picture Aaron in Alabama, but in the same breath, I can't picture Rob in the UK. No.

They'll pick a new place. They'll meet in the middle. They'll make a new home. They'll do like a travel show together where he brings him to Alabama. They go to London. Not the worst idea that I've ever heard. People would watch. Yeah. Aaron has shown more emotion about Rob than he has with Kaler. And I think like you were saying in the beginning,

you don't fault Kayla because like she is young and like she's with him 24 seven. But I think when she leaves and she sees this, it's going to be like, Oh, okay. I think it also, she, because I'm sure in the moment she's not thinking, she's probably not making that comparison. Yeah. Maybe she is actually, but yeah,

It's funny because Serena clocked it on movie night out loud to everyone. And I was like, finally, someone's going to say it. But I think that when she does get online and she does see that other people have been making that observation, maybe I don't know, maybe she'll see it.

I love Serena so much. I do too. And I'm really happy that her and Cordell worked it out because Cordell was actually sorry. Did you feel like he, you know, appropriately showed that he was sorry for his actions on

unlike Aaron and Rob. Yeah, absolutely. I did notice that all the guys tend to try to not take ownership. They try to say things like it happened or... Right. Which I think other people have made that observation as well.

I blame his age mostly because he is 22. And she said that to, you know, that his age kind of jumped out when she was like, I'm not, why am I getting so worked up over this 22 year old guy? And I think that at 22, I can, I think about myself at 22, um, you know, he went to Casa, uh,

He was getting like this undivided attention from somebody who was like, I'm here for you. And I think that that his immaturity and his age jumped out in that moment. I think when the boy, you know, boys are like, wow, jumping up and down. Yeah. So there's a lot of that. But even literally in the moment that he brought Daya back, he, you know, as you saw them saying their eyes down and like,

You could sense from him, he was kind of shaking a little bit. And I think he was really nervous. And I think in that moment when he saw Serena standing by herself, he thought like, oh...

she wasn't just saying that she was a slow burner. She meant it. Yeah. And I think that was like a tough lesson that he had to learn, but the way that he stood up for her and their relationship and her feelings in the fact that that moment that they had on the dock and when she was, you know, her walkabout fight with him, which I thought was just absolutely amazing. The way he just was like,

chasing after her essentially and just like really wanting to work this out and she did not back down on how she felt which was super admirable but he also didn't back down on the fact that he really cared about yeah he didn't run away he didn't say you know what like yelled back at her yeah he wasn't which was it was like gave her the space like be angry he basically did everything aaron didn't so it's like the exact polar opposite reactions yeah right like it's like cordell's like he

he's showing regret and he feels it. Aaron's like, it happened. And if I could go back, it probably happened again. Yeah. Yeah. And he said, yeah. Right. And he said multiple times, like I wasn't thinking about you. And I'm like, if I even heard that, like, how's that not? No, I know. That's crazy. But he loves her. They're just adorable together. Like I'm real cute. And hearing, um,

serena say like the boyfriend girlfriend conversation like she doesn't really want to have that until they're on the outside i respected that so much i respect serena and her boundaries so much the way that she communicates them to cordell i'm like this is amazing like she knows what she wants she communicates it and he's like so respectful of it yeah and i love it um okay so kendall and nicole they've been they've been going strong yeah

What are your thoughts on Kendall and him egging on the guys? And the way that he acts with Nicole, you know, is maybe a little bit different. But the way he acts with the guys shows a different side. I was team Kendall for like many, many, many episodes. And then the way he was acting in Casa had me like, whoa, like what the fuck? And that really took me back. And I was so... I was like, God, I'm...

I loved him, but I'm so angry at him now. Or like, I'm so disappointed in him acting like that. And I don't know what he thought he was doing in that moment. And he has apologized, but then I didn't like the way he was talking about Serena and how she was communicating her feelings. I didn't like that. And I was just like, okay, maybe I don't know what's going on, but then yeah, he's so cute with Nicole. And I know that him and Nicole are super close. And so, um,

But man, he really fucked up with that. Because I... Now, that does make me question his... It's tainted. It's tainted. It's tainted. And that's unfortunate because...

Up until that point, I was like, wow, he's everyone's hype man. It's so cute. His friendships with the girls are so cute. And then. Right. Right. What the fuck? It's a lot of, a lot of like Casa boy, the boyhood. Like it's like a lot of these guys feel like they didn't maybe have a lot, like a lot of guy friends like growing up or something. And now, and now they do. And they're like, I got to do it for my boys. Right. Or maybe they weren't like cool at some point. I don't know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. There's something there, but okay. Sadly, we have to wrap up.

up oh my god that's the fast I know it was so fast it was so fast I will say okay last one um who are you like what couple are you rooting for the most on the outside

Unbelievable. She is unreal. She is so freaking beautiful. I want to die. She's so pretty. Not to be graphic, but when Kenny like grabbed her ass, I was like, okay, wow. When he first came in, I was kind of like, I don't get it. Cause he was also saying things like, let me taste your lips. I was like, yeah, yeah. I think it's the outfits too. And then he just really wrote. And now I'm like,

I'm like, oh my God, Kenny and Janae. And the way that everybody roots for them too. She'll make him cooler too. You know, like she'll, she's like, yeah, I think so. I'm obsessed with them.
