What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rheanne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Thursday. Wow. Throwback for those who have been listening since the beginning of the show. They remember when our episodes came out on Thursdays. Did we do episodes on Thursdays? Mondays and Thursdays. No, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I thought...

Or was it Mondays and Thursdays? I thought it was Tuesdays and Thursdays for a while. Well, it was definitely Mondays because Friday Energy on a Monday. We definitely did Mondays. It was Monday only, then Tuesday, Thursday, then Monday, Wednesday. We definitely at one point did Thursdays. Yeah. So I don't know what the exact- I don't remember Thursdays at all. Really? I feel like we definitely did Thursdays. Am I crazy? I know for 100% we did Thursdays. We did. Because I remember saying Friday Energy on a Thursday. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays were the two, I think.

Like when we did two episodes, I think it was Tuesday, Thursday. Unless it was Monday, Thursday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Tuesday, Thursday would logically make sense. Yeah. Interesting. Well, anyways, that's what it reminded me of because I remember saying that and I haven't said that in so long. Yep. And now here we are saying it again. Olive, the cutie, is here. She's here. She's looking so snuggly.

All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one protein bars. One made protein bars perfect with one Reese's peanut butter lovers and one Hershey's cookies and cream, 18 grams of protein, only three grams of sugar. I love the peanut butter. Obviously the Reese's peanut butter is my favorite. That is so good. And like I said, 18 grams of protein and only three grams of sugar. Only one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with

made with real Reese's peanut butter. That's the important part. It's the real Reese's peanut butter that just makes it extra delicious. Also only one Hershey's, uh, cookies and cream protein bar is made with Hershey's cookies bits. You're getting the real stuff with protein. It's seriously an amazing combo. One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, love the maple glazed donut that just hits the spot.

And Blueberry Cobbler. So you can try new one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's Protein Bar and one Hershey's Cookies and Cream. I'm in a Yankee shirt and I need to address the fact that I have been wearing more Yankees gear. You have. Hats. Not like purpose. Shirts. They're just in my home. So it's not purposely. But because of this, I had a dream where kids from my middle school were...

Like mad at me. Oh no. And they were texting me old photographs of me in Mets gear.

Damn. Calling you a fraud? Yeah, like, oh, you're wearing Yankee stuff now and you used to wear Mets stuff and we used to go to Mets games together and whatever. Like, this was my dream that I woke up and then I decided to put on another Yankee shirt today. So your subconscious is really telling you, like, you've abandoned the Mets. I have. And, like, just for, like, honestly, the gear is so much cooler.

Yeah. Yeah. And, and the gear, why do I keep saying gear? And,

And better colors in my opinion. Yes. You know like sometimes the orange and blue can be loud. Right. Exactly. And this is like a little you know. Yeah. More subtle. Yeah. But you get what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. That is a cool shirt. Thank you. But I literally dreamt about it. Yeah. That's where I'm at. But I was like you know what. Frick it. I'm going to wear it. So that's where I'm at. I like it. How are you feeling today? Terrible. What? I walked in here.

Nobody complimented my cut and color from this morning. Oh my god. I'm having a terrible day. Wait a second. None of you. Fran, that is so weird. I looked at you. I'm having a terrible day. I looked at you and I thought to myself. Did I even go and get my hair done? I swear on Olive, this is how deep I'm going to get. Olive, what the? This is how deep I'm going to get. I looked at you and thought, did she get her hair done? No.

And then I just, it kind of like was, we started going right away. We did trivia right before this. Yeah, we did trivia. And then it kind of just left my brain that I never brought it back up again. Unbelievable. But it looks fabulous. Thank you. You did this morning? Clearly not that noticeable.

looking at the other ladies in the room is it supposed to be that noticeable no but like I you know I gave a good cut she gave me a nice blowout it's like I touched up my roots it's a little you know it looks fantastic I did think to myself did she get a cut did she did she did she get a cut in color did she get a cut in color and then I kind of she got a cut in color I brushed past it well it looks gorgeous thank you looks absolutely stunning I'm so sorry I didn't say it when it was on my brain I feel terrible now that I thought such a terrible day for you

I know it was a tough start because I was feeling great when I left the salon and then I got nothing when I came in here. Well, here I am to give you all the praise and makeup for my lack of saying so. Your eyebrows look great. Thank you. They're a little dark right now. I need to do one more wash. No, but they always, you know, it's like a, it's, yeah, you know.

I mean, it takes a day. It takes like a day. Right. So I need to wash them. Yeah. Before. But they look good shape. Thank you. Yeah. It's unfortunate they don't last this long. You know what I mean? Like every two weeks. Right. I'm out there. Right. Every two weeks is wild. It's fucking a lot. That is kind of crazy that you have to do every two weeks. Yeah. So. It is often. Yeah. I know. But no, we're gearing up for New York. Yes, we are. We got our New York show. Yeah.

So I feel like that's, you know, we're getting our eyebrows done, hair done, making sure. There is something that's happening though in this city that, my God, it's a disaster. It's like, I actually had one of my friends text me too because she was like, do you get

spray tans at home ever because I literally can't find somewhere to get a spray tan. It's so gross on the weekends. All us ladies are dying. All these basic bitches are like, I don't have my fucking tan. It's summertime. Every spray tan appointment is taken. Venture over to Hoboken, okay? Bless Tan in Hoboken. That's where I get my spray tans. They're the best. You got to venture over. I'm going today. That's why I have no makeup on today, whatever, because I'm going to get a spray tan. What's the point of having a Sugar and Bronze membership if I can't? Every single location in Manhattan, booked.

Booked. Because all of us are looking in the mirror looking pasty. Yeah. I'm going to have to do it myself. You're good at that. I'm not that good at it. You're good at everything. And your hair looks amazing. I'm not that good at it, but I'm going to have to because the outfit colors, it's like you need, you can't be pale. Got to have some pizzazz. Yeah. The last time I did my own, it came out fine. Wasn't blown away, but...

It'll be fine. I don't have to get Joe to help me. Trial and error, they say, don't they? Yeah, they do. They do. They do. Get the gloves out, Joe. Yeah. Like, get my back, honey. Yeah. Get back there. I know. I don't know how, because it's really. Right. It's really tough. Then you get the visual of Noah shaving his back. I know. Yeah, exactly. I know there are plenty of girls that, like, there's, like, devices that you can use to get your back when you're self-tanning. But that is, it is tricky. It is tricky. It is.

- I can't see your back. - No, you can. - You gotta get in the mirror, it's a whole thing. - What does it look like? - You gotta bend over back, or you gotta be flexible, it's a whole thing. - But no, the New York show's gonna be fun, very excited. Then I'm headed to the Vineyard for a wedding, which will be short and sweet, sadly. Really gonna be up and down, like Friday, Sunday, which I hate when I'm only up there for that short of a time. I'll see my parents, which I'm excited about. The wedding's gonna be amazing, I'm very excited for this wedding.

And I think you're talking in speed talk. I know I am. I'm very excited for this wedding. Very excited for the wedding and then I'm off to Chicago for the dozen tournament next week. I know. I know. Sorry, that was a long. It's when we were alone. Yeah. Last time I went

Remember last year when they had the dozen tournament and then I felt left out. So I was like, I'm going to come. Yeah. I wish we had so much fun. Yeah. I'm not doing that again. And when that article came out and we were like, Oh, we were like the best podcast. We went to that, um, cute little restaurant. That was like with all the flowers. And we had some wine. We had some midday wine that just really was spectacular. It was a good time. It really was. Yeah. It really was. I haven't stepped foot back in that office since Survivor ended. You know, so yeah.

Yeah, I haven't been there since probably the dozen last year. So true. I can't really think of any other reason I've been in Chicago. You'll get to have ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Exactly. They got a lot of that over there. Yeah. I'm excited to start the tournament. Different format this year. Double elimination. Ooh, bam, bam. Yeah. So it's like you have to...

Honestly, Jeff has repeated the rules so many times. Can we get a goddamn win from you? I know. I know. Sorry. No, you're not wrong. Not to be blunt. Let me tell you, you're not wrong and I feel the same. But my God. I feel the same. Us experts fans. I know. We're struggling. I know. We had two people come to our meet and greet in Maine. It was a couple.

And the guy had on a ZDT shirt and I said, at my own fucking show. Yeah. You're going to disrespect me like that in my own show? The disrespect. Really? You're going to come to the night of my show in a ZDT shirt? On the day of my daughter's wedding? Yeah, exactly. So...

I feel the pressure, I'm not going to lie, because it has been, it's like, will it finally be their year? I mean, time is ticking. I know. We're waiting. So next week, so it would make it next week and then Boston the week after. Yeah, we have to win two matches in Chicago.

And then, but it's also like if you lose one, then you play another. Jeff's explained it 9 million times. I'm not gonna lie, when I watch the other dozen masters, like I like fast forward through like him explaining the rules because it was on for a while. Relatable. But I, we play, we play Kelly's team the first round. Sadly, she's gonna have to go down.

You know, I feel like I'm, you know, I'm rooting for, I'll be happy either way for both of you guys. But like, I'm really rooting for an experts win. I know, I know, I know. My girl needs a win. We did two wins. We do two wins. And then the final four is in Boston.

At the House of Blues. So really, I am just a part of the traveling carnival that is The Dozen. Yeah, you are. Really. You know, it's like the circus. Are we coming to your city? Chicago. Now we're in Boston. So no, it'll be. I'll be supporting from here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Go friend. Woo. Woo. Woo. Yeah. You got this. It's going to be.

It's going to be good. What are you doing this weekend? Good question. No really set plans. I think we're going to dinner with some friends on Friday. Well, it'd be nice to go to the beach, but you know. God forbid it's sunny on a Saturday. No, we're going to dinner on Friday with some friends and then it's Father's Day on Sunday. It is. But my parents were like, are you coming home? And I was like,

I see you all the time, dad. Yeah. We're going to receive tomorrow. Yeah. And the weather is just such. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I also was like, we're going to see, I'm going to see you before. And also like, we're just, you know, on the go here, there, everywhere. It's like, I kind of wanted to like stay put in my apartment. Yeah. And my dad was like, I don't give a shit. That's fine. Yeah. But I did get him a, this Haley, you know, our makeup, our lovely makeup artist.

She said that last year they got her dad a... What's the word I'm looking for? Like a skimmer for the pool? That works on its own. Ooh! Like a...

Roomba for the pool. Yes. Like that sort of thing. So I was like, perfect. That's a perfect gift for my dad. Yeah. Because the amount of times this man talks about having to like clean the pool. Right. It's like if he can just drop a little thing in there and the pool gets clean. Woo. You know? I love that. That's great. Such a Father's Day gift. It's such a Father's Day gift. Such a Father's Day gift. My dad made it very easy for us this year too. He texted us all about a week ago and was like,

If anyone's looking for something for me for Father's Day, I'm in the market for some new Eagles gear. We said, done. Beautiful. You can make that happen. Easy, easy. Certainly can. That's like the easiest thing we could get for him. For sure. You would think that's what you would get anyway, but sometimes you're like, I don't know. And I'm like, does the man need more Eagles stuff? But I guess he feels like he does. He does. He's in the market.

And he was very specific. He didn't want very like loud Super Bowl merch. He's a subtle man. He already has his Super Bowl merch. He doesn't need more of that. Exactly. So he made sure to get some stuff for him for...

For his fandom. And yeah, so June's flying by. It is. Noah, how about you? Any plans for the weekend? Yeah, I'm going to Boston and I'm actually going to Red Sox-Yankees game. This isn't the 30 before 30 thing. I just had already been planning to go. You want to borrow my shirt? No. Um...

But it'll be good. Me and my dad and my brother and sister are going. What happened to your mom? She has something else to go do, I guess. But she'll be at the show. Yeah, well, she's coming to the show. I'm trying to have the list of like, and I made sure to put her near...

Your parents. Oh, yeah. My parents were like, Noah's mom is going to be sitting with us, right? Yeah. Make sure you put her next to us. Well, now this time since my dad's not there, she'll need them even more. Yeah. But yeah, it'll be good. And yeah, I got to start checking things off that list. I haven't done one thing yet. The tour is kind of making it tough. Listen, once June ends and we get back from that break that we take every single year,

We are hitting the ground running. I mean, it's got to be full steam ahead. At that point, it'll be every single week. We'll be into July at that point. I think July 4th, I'm going to have to knock off. I have to do the bike ride, which is like a big, that's like a whole day thing. You got a whole week to conquer things. But there's only so much I can conquer in each city, you know? I know, but we're going to make it happen. The summer goals this year are your goals. Yeah, I really have to hit up Joey because that's a big one that I just feel like,

I need to just, like, knock off. Like, I just feel like that could... Noah's main focus is just talking to Joey. Like, literally, he's brought it up every... He's like, I just really... No, because... I just really need to get in contact with Joey. I know. And, like, we get it. You want his number? I just really need to talk to Joey. I'm not giving you Joey's number. Stop banging him. I don't give a fuck. No, no, the thing is, is that I'm not... Ask him for his number. The thing is that I'm not doing it if he doesn't do it because that was kind of the agreement. So if he isn't available, then bungee jump isn't happening, so... We're going to make it happen. Okay, that...

Was that a... When did we agree on that? In the video. Yeah. But we said you don't have to do it if Joey can't do it? Well, I said it in my mind. Okay. So... Figure that. Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll have to make it happen with Joey. We're gonna make it happen for you. Or Marty can do it with me. But you said you won't let him. I...

That was so funny. I was like, no, I don't want him doing that. And Noah was like, so you're fine with me doing it? And I was like, yeah. Yeah, one's her husband. Yeah, well, you can ask. Listen, if you ask Marty. I think he would do it. He probably would. He probably would. I don't know. I can't tell. Something about a taller man doing it sounds scary. I mean, he's not that much taller than me.

Let's just call him. He's 6'4". And how tall are you? 5'8"? He's much taller than you. I'm not 5'8". I'm not 5'8". I'm 5'10". On a good day. I was going to say, I would give you 5'9". He's like 6'3". And a half. 6'4". All right. So that's like a few inches. Yeah. Let's ask him if he'll bungee jump. I'm just going to ask him and have him. That's a pretty high jump in size. Oh, I thought you meant the bungee jump. He said he's not that much taller than me. That's a little delirious land. Hey.

We're on the podcast right now and Noah wants to know if you would bungee jump with him. Would I bungee jump? Yeah, would you bungee jump with him? Oh my God. Yeah, I'll do it. Good friend, but you can say no. No, no, Marty, let's do it.

I think I'd be really scared. I am really scared. I need someone to do with me. Well, Noah asked me the other day and I said that I wouldn't want you doing that. And he said, but you'll let me do it. You know what? Then Noah, you're out of luck. I ain't doing it. What? You just said. If you want to do it. Yeah, but if you want to do it, then go for it. But, you know, it's scary.

I gotta be honest, I don't want to do it. No, no, Marty, I can also say I don't want to do it. Yeah, but it's your list. Noah just wants like a million dollars to be on his 30 list. Noah also said that you're not that much taller than him. That's crazy. Well, what's much? Like if he was a foot taller than me, that's a lot.

How tall is he? 5'8"? Oh, my God. I said the same thing. What is that? Guys. I said the same thing. You want to see my ID? All right, all right. You want to see my ID? I mean, he's half a foot taller than you. No, he's not. Yes, he is. He's six inches taller than you for sure. Let's say that I'm 5'10". Let's say you're 5'9 1⁄2". Okay. And then he's, what, 6'3"? And we're giving him 6'3 1⁄2". Yeah. 6'4". So how many inches is that? Six inches. Six inches.

It's okay. That's not crazy. That's like... Now he's like, six inches isn't that many. No, it's really not. I mean, it's a pretty drastic difference in height is six inches. When you're standing next to someone, you're six inches taller. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, I'm like three inches taller than Rhea and I feel like people are like, oh my God, Rhea's so tiny. No, we're like the same height. You see what I'm, this is what I'm doing right now. I'm doing the same thing. Fran is always like, I'm so much taller than you. No, you're not. We're literally the same height. Yeah, exactly. Anyways, listen, if you're that scared, I'm sure Marty will do with you, but it doesn't sound like he wants to.

I don't think anyone really wants to do it. We're going to get Joey to do it. Like, why are we... You should get Trent to do it with you. I don't think... He's the guy that would never... He would literally never. He wouldn't even go into the fucking karaoke bar or the piano bar. He's a guy who... He's a scaredy... He doesn't want to do something. You don't think he would? Oh, my God. He's a massive scaredy cat. This is what I respect about Trent. He's the type of guy who, like, if he doesn't want to do something, he just doesn't do it. He won't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I...

really respect that about training. - I know, I know. - He's like, "I'm not going in." - And it's like, if you don't want to, like, what's your reason? He's like, "Just don't wanna." - No, no, 'cause I was kind of in the same boat. We were both like, "Ah, I wish we could just go to a dive or something." And I'm like, I'm going in. He's like, "I'm actually not going in." - Well, he doesn't like to go out or whatever. - No, I know, but I respect that. - Yeah, so do I. I just text him, "Would you bungee jump?"

I think, like, that would be funny if it was me, Trent, Joey, Marty, like all of us. The boys. Bungee jumping. Oh, damn. That would be fun.

Yeah, that makes it more fun. Me and Trent, that's actually the only thing I've checked off on my, or not checked off, but we have it in motion is that me and him are going to San Francisco. Trent goes, fuck, I really don't want to, ha ha. That's, I think, anyone's normal reaction. That's a, that's like, that's not a no, though. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's more of a chance than I thought he was, like, gonna say. I thought he was gonna be like, just, no. I think if I proposed it to Trent and Marty, like, hey,

Let's all do it. All of us are scared. We all do it together. We're all scared here. You're building a case. We'll hold hands and we'll jump. I think we'd be bonded for life. You would be. We'll talk about it at a later date.

We'll see. We'll collect what they're thinking. Yeah. All right. Let's get into the rest of the topics for the show. We're going to be talking about Love Island episodes from Monday and Tuesday because there's no episode on Wednesday. So we're actually caught up by releasing this on Thursday. Sabrina Carpenter announced new album. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom apparently marriage on the rocks. Not good. And Trace Cyrus is back to posting about Billy Ray Cyrus. Apparently the family is not all OK. We were wrong when we said that. It seems Miley is OK. Maybe OK with everyone. But not everyone else is. Yes. Yeah.

And we have an interview with Bella from Love Island. Yeah. A.K.A. Beldasha from Love Island, the first to be sent home. So super exciting that we got to chat with her. And let's get into the rest of the show. We also have trivia, of course. Great game of trivia. A little back and forth. It was great. All right. Let's get into it.

Summer is here, which means it is truly season. It's finally time for the return of the Truly Pool Party Pack. Everyone's favorite summer drink lineup is back with four refreshing, limited-edition flavors, Peach Plunge, Strawberry Kiwi Splash, Blood Orange Bliss, and Red, White, and True. It's perfect for the pool, the party, and everything in between, especially if the thing in between is another pool party.

The Truly Pool Pack. So great. Just if you're headed to any kind of event in the summer, backyard barbecue, pool party, trip to the beach, you're looking to bring something with you that's going to make everybody happy and excited for the day, the Truly Pool Party Pack is

The flavors are delicious. I love the blood orange bliss and the red, white, and true. Make sure your cooler is packed for all those summer events. Find Truly Hard Seltzer and the new limited time only pool party pack at a store near you or locate it at trulyhardseltzer.com.

new episode of love island on monday and tuesday we talked a little bit about monday's episode but then tuesday's episode rolled around and oh my gosh it's getting messy i'm in it like i'm so in it i can't get enough honestly and i just have to say at first okay well not like i don't even know where to begin because i'm very confused about all of this but like

Ace is a problem. Yeah. He's a big problem. And the way that he thinks he's the motherfucking man walking around this villa and the way that he spoke to Amaya and Amaya is like, like what is happening? Right. But then the way Amaya talked to Shelly, I was like, no, we're not having this, you know? So like Amaya and Ace, I thought Ace was wrong, but then you got Amaya and Shelly. And I think,

Amaya was wrong with the Shelly situation because she wasn't even letting Shelly talk. Like Amaya was just da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da not even letting Shelly get a word in about the situation. And did you hear her slip in like because we know each other on the outside? I was like, what in the fuck? What? You guys know each other on the outside? Why does everyone know each other? I'm like, how does Ace and Shelly know each other but then Amaya and Shelly know each other? It was like da-da-da. So...

Very, very confusing, but I did not like the way Amaya was talking to Shelly because I feel like Shelly has been pretty open about the fact that she's kind of exploring multiple options here. And then you get to the game and my God, I want to hate Ace, but then he does. He makes this move on Shelly that I literally was hollering like,

banging my couch, like going- It was a jaw dropping move. My jaw dropped. I was like screaming and hyperventilating and started like sweating being like, that was so hot and I'm so mad about it. Like the way that he took that pie, licked the pie and then went into Shelly and her leg was up and it was just steamy and I was like, these two, they gotta go bang it out because my Lord. They have quite the chemistry but I feel like Shelly really does clock him for what it is too. Like even when they were having that conversation before during the day-

And she was like I just feel like You're always trying to be Like Mr. Mysterious 100% And he absolutely is He is Absolutely is And Definitely like He is turning it up He's turning the flirtations Up with her Big time Yeah

For the first time ever, I'm like, oh, man, Austin. Like, yeah, this is a tough, tough one to watch. He's, like, sitting there. And then at the same time, it's, like, the preview for Thursday. And he's freaking licking the whipped cream off her chest right in front of Austin's face. And he's like, whoa. No, I know. You know it's bad when, like, you start, like, you know, with Austin. You're like, oh, I can see where you're coming from. Like, it's like, oh. And I think Austin was definitely right in that he has a good chance because, like, he's not.

In the drama, it's like not as crazy, but even he knows you can't just deny it. There clearly is a sexual chemistry between them.

Shelly and Ace that they all feel the sexual chemistry is off the charts but then I have to remind myself that Shelly's 27 and Ace is 22 yeah and it's like Shelly deserves a mature man to come in but at Ace I don't think he's that mature man no I don't think he really thinks he is the fucking man on the villa like the way he talks to people whatever but I love his messy ass like I kind of love that he's in people's business I know we've talked about this people hate it

for reality TV show purposes, I love it. Do I like that in real life? Absolutely not. I wouldn't be like cheering Ace on to do this in real life. Yeah. But we're talking reality TV. Ace is bringing a lot to this villa that it may be lacking otherwise. So like, I'm kind of okay with what's going on. You need someone to stir the pot for sure. For sure. Unfortunately, Austin is right in the fact where it's like, all right, what's going on here? Yeah. Is it me? Is it Ace? Is it me?

you don't really love what's going on with Shelly and Ace but they clearly have this sexual chemistry they just can't quit and it's like well you know what are they going to do about it like I can't I was literally I know it got hot during that challenge it got hot and then Hoda and Jeremiah you can see the mask start to slip with Jeremiah because I don't know well the boys are getting in his head they are okay so the boys are getting in his head absolutely

But the way that Huda is acting is not okay. Yeah. Like, she's single-handedly pushing Jeremiah away. Yeah. Because she's like, no, hold me like you usually would. Yeah, it's just too much. You haven't been in a year of relationship. It's too much. You've been together for seven days, how he usually would? Yeah.

It's been seven days. How would he usually? You're just finding out how he usually would hold you. There's no usual. It just started happening. So it's very, I don't know. And then the living together. And then she was like, great job. And he's like, I hate when you tell me great job. Like I'm like a child. Yeah, like he's like you're talking to me like a kid. And she does talk to him like a kid sometimes. I mean, 100%. So you can tell that the explosion is near. When she went up to him...

and it was after the challenge and he's in his head and whatever and the boys had just said to him like just you know they they they're skeptical of her and she's like are you okay and he he did one of these the double thumbs up which let me tell you you're getting the double thumbs up when I hit Joe with a double thumbs up you better believe

there's hell to pay after that double thumbs up gets thrown. You know what we were fucking dying about? Because I was watching with Matt and we were saying if your significant other hits you with the handshake, you know one of you fucked up. Like if you hit, if someone goes to grab your hand, like if I'm Joe and I go to grab your hand and

me with oh yeah you did you said something wrong and we were crying laughing i was like he hit her with the handshake that in the it's like when you're asked the times when i've been asked like hey are you all right and i'm like yeah fucking fine yeah double thumbs up

No, I was dying at the same thing. I was like, there's never been a more clear indicator than the handshake into the thumbs up. I was like, oh, no. Do you think he is wearing a little foundation? Because my God, his skin is flawless. And this was the first episode I was looking that I was like, is there a little foundation? I mean, you can't see a pore on that man's face. No, I totally agree. I mean, like...

I honestly would love to recap this with Emma and Julie from Common Spice Celebs because we've been talking about this every single night. They just... So a little background.

the girls from comments by celebs they were at my apartment one night this was I want to say probably after Love Island last year yeah and they had never seen and I was like guys you have to fucking watch this show and I put on the heart rate challenge for them because I knew what would rope those girls in totally and they were like oh my god we have to watch this so now they are watching every single night and it's just so funny to get because they're

newer to the Love Island experience so I love hearing their opinions they love the show they're like god this is fantastic but they just keep saying like they're like Jeremiah would be so hot when he doesn't speak like it's like it's just like him and Hoda you're just like ugh you know yeah yeah but he's a handsome man no he is

He realized that was a good challenge. Like, that was a good... Like, I know, obviously, we're used to seeing the Pi-Mary... What is it? Pi-Mary Kill? Pi-Mary Snog? Pi-Mary Snog? No. Yeah, yeah, Pi-Mary Snog. Yeah, yeah. I'm like...

Pie Mary kill. Whoa. Pie Mary snog. And I feel like they always do that challenge later in the season. This was a good switch up fun challenge, I thought. Right. And then we had some feelings, get some thoughts and emotions out there. Yeah, we had Sierra pick Shelly and she just tossed it right on the kiss thing, which was really funny because online, I don't know if you've seen people be like,

we want Sierra and Shelly to just leave with each other. So when that happened, everyone was like, oh my God, we're getting what we want. But it was interesting to see how people felt. And then Huda hit Ace with like a, I would have rather kiss you. And I was like, I really think that she's got a major like people pleaser thing, I think.

Or like, maybe not so people-pleaser, but it really does seem like she wants everyone in the house to really like her. Because I feel like she's talked about some of the people differently, but then when she was in that conversation with Ace, she was like, I really like you. Like, you know, let's be friends. Like, the whole thing, I think she already is trying to win him back in a way of like as friends too because of like everything else that's going on. I don't know, maybe she's heard whispers that like,

of how Ace feels about her and Jeremiah. I don't know. Which girl was it where she was like, you're now one of us or something. And I was just like, Jesus Christ.

I think Huda said it to Sierra. Yeah. And she was like, now you're one of us. It's like, what? I'm very locked in though. Like, I'm so upset we don't have an episode tonight, Wednesday, when we're talking about this because I want to know what now happens next. And I'm just waiting for this inevitable Jeremiah and Huda explosion that's bound to happen because this man is not going to be able to deal with this any longer. Like, she's like, are you closed off? Are you not closed off? And he's like, it would take a lot. And I'm like,

Let it breathe. Yeah. Let it breathe. And... I need some new bombs. We need some guys. We need some man bombshells. We need some new men into the mix. We really do. Hopefully that's what's coming next. Yeah. Yeah. We really do need that. But I'm locked in. I really am. Sabrina Carpenter announced a new album already. Crazy. Yeah.

Fast-charting overtime. Seriously, because honestly, we just got an album last summer. When did Sweetener come? Not Sweetener. Sweetener's Arnie and Rhonda, Jesus Christ. Short and Sweet. The end of the summer last year. Right? Yeah. August? Or was it before that? Yeah, August. August. So it's August again. August 29th. So like kind of one year. It's called Man's Best Friend. It's a little dog in the picture. A little tag. And then it looks like Sabrina Carpenter. That's you, Olive.

Is acting like a dog in this picture? Yeah. I'm ready, you know? No, I'm very excited. Just kidding. Like you said- More music will take it. And especially after Man Child came out, it was like, oh, is this more of a extension of the short and sweet era? Or is that going to be going into a new one? And really, I guess it's heading into a whole new album. She's clearly had a lot to say. Yeah.

She has a lot on her mind. Right into making some new songs. I love it. I love it. You want to give me a new album every summer? Bless us. Right. I wish we were getting a little bit sooner. Yeah. I'm sure we'll get some singles though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lead up to the album. Same surprise, same rescue as last year. It's only like two months away. Right. Oh my God. Summer almost over. No.

No, I'm not starting that. No, I can't. I can't. No. I'm not starting that. Well, I just keep thinking about the summer in terms of like summer I Turn Pretty release date. I'm like, are we finally there? By the way, there is a release date for the Love Island Beyond the Village July 13th. Oh. Yes. Wow. I didn't see that. They just announced that? No, I think it was already announced. I think we may have missed it. Oh, weird. Yes. Because when I opened up the Peacock app to watch the new episodes of Love Island, regular Love Island, it was like, oh, my God.

It came up next to it. It just said, coming soon. Hmm. Interesting. Did I get a false date? No. July 13th. No, I saw the date too. Yeah. No, July 13th. Oh, hell yeah. Nice. So probably that'll come right around the time that this season wraps up. Yep. So they are keeping us fed at Peacock. Yes, they are. Thank you very much. Yes, they are. And Sprita Carpenter is keeping us fed with her new albums. Yep. And we're very thankful for that. I wasn't obsessed with Man Child. Yeah. But it just like, Man Child just sounded a little...

too similar to the other songs I felt. Not a bad way, but like at certain moments I was like, am I just listening to Juno again? Sort of. Very fair. So...

But catchy, as always. It's always going to be catchy. We're always going to find it catchy. Exactly. Moving on, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, it seems like their marriage may be on the rocks. I think Katy Perry apparently has had really not a great year. Her album flopped. She went to space. No one was happy about that. And now it seems like her marriage with Orlando Bloom is on the rocks, which...

You know, I thought these two crazy kids were going to be the ones to make it because I always, you know, the way that they like talked about their relationship and even on stage. I think recently she was like joking around with somebody in the audience about Orlando Bloom. So I thought, oh, they must be good. Apparently not.

Maybe not the case. I know. It's like every tabloid headline and they just get worse and worse. Honestly, I saw a Daily Mail one that was like, Katy Perry, worst year ever. It was just like, ugh. It made me feel bad because she's on tour right now. So it's like, oh, they're already bashing the music. They're bashing the tour. Oh, and on top of that, her marriage is over. It was like, oh my lord.

So this page six headline is Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is on the rocks. It's over. One source said to page six, they are waiting till her tour is over before they split. She is on her Lifetime's tour. You know, she's been on it since April 23rd and it runs through December 7th. And yeah,

That's really... Sources have told people that stress over the poor reception of her new album has caused tension in the star's relationship. Katie was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. A source told the publication it made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension. Another source told the magazine she was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship. And that, like...

I don't know. That made me sad to read because it's like, oh, like it's like, oh, because those things are not going so well. It's hard for her, I guess, to keep that out of her private life. And maybe she's taking it out on Orlando a little bit. Right. Because Orlando's not understanding enough, you know. Right. Because maybe he's like, get over it. And you're like, what? No. Right. Because if you're going through something like that, like your heart, like horrible professional year, whatever, and public issues.

And then you're like, oh, at least I have this at home with Orlando. And then all of a sudden you don't have that at home too. It's like, oh no. Yeah, exactly. Seems like one thing after the other there. And that just made me sad because it really has been one thing. It's like, first it was the headlines about the album. Then it was the headlines about the tour. Then it was the headlines about being an astronaut. And

And now... Now it's the headlines of Orlando. Now it's the relationship. Just like punch after punch. Yeah. Seriously. That's a...

Not a good year for Katy Perry. No, no, no, no, no. No. Nope, nope. Not a good year for Billy Ray Cyrus either, I would say. Well, depends on who you ask. Right. He found the love of his life, you said. I guess. Yeah. I guess. If you were to ask Elizabeth Hurley, things couldn't be better. Right, right. That is, yeah, my bad. But I, you know, from the outside looking in, you know, you're like, eh. But Trace Cyrus posted Billy Ray Cyrus, a picture of Billy Ray Cyrus, and wrote, this

This man is so hungry for fame, it's pathetic. He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn't come to LA for Mammy's funeral while he was still married to my mom. Even after his daughter got him a $60,000 private jet like he demanded, then he still didn't come even after the plane was paid for. You're the lamest man to ever walk planet Earth. Honestly embarrassed to ever have considered you an idol. My idol, clown face. The best thing to come from your down...

fall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I'm old like you. Christ is king. Get right with God. You need it. With the clown emoji. Yikes. Yeah. Look, when we were reading those headlines and talking about Miley Cyrus, talking about her family, maybe it's just... I suppose Miley is in a good place with everybody in her family. I'm assuming hopefully that's what she was...

Alluding to because it does not seem that Trace and Billy Ray are in a good place at all. And Trace has been coming for Billy Ray for months now in the sense that like, you know, calling him out on his drinking and these things that were clearly causing a strain on the on the family. And now he's just off gallivanting with Elizabeth Hurley. So that's probably even more frustrating at this point. He's like, wow, you can do all these things with her. But.

Couldn't make the trip for these really important events in our family. Yeah, it's not good. And honestly, yeah, like you said, it seems like Miley has maybe, okay, I'm going to be okay with everybody. But that doesn't mean Trace has to be. Yeah, exactly. And Billy Ray kind of alluded that too on, was it like a Mother's Day post? Something like that. Saying like, grateful for Miley for bringing Trace.

these conversations, like having these conversations with them and bringing some healing to the relationships.

And it just doesn't seem to have maybe brought that healing to Trace and Billy Ray's relationship. No, and you know what? That's fine. Like, you know, family, it's sad. But if Trace doesn't fuck with Billy Ray, then Trace does not fuck with Billy Ray. I know. You know? And that's such a heartbreaking line of like, I'm embarrassed that he's my idol. You're not my idol. He used to be my idol. You know, kind of thing. That's just sad. That's really sad. That is really sad. Because if you...

If you are fully unfamiliar with the way that the family is set up too, like Trace is not...

biological child. Mm-hmm. Trace and Brandy have a different biological dad, but they were always, like, when Billy Ray came into their lives, it was, like, dad. So, obviously, they have the satirist's last name, the whole thing, and, like, he really took on that role for them. So, it's sad to see that it, you know, takes a turn like this. It has taken quite a turn, and it doesn't seem like it's going to turn back the other way for Trace. No. Yeah.

No. No. Not good. All right. That wraps up the topics. All right. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You got to sign up for the presale. Get in the queue.

I am so stoked to be here and I feel very, very blessed for this opportunity. I will say I have been eating my feelings away in Pringles and Oreos the past few days. So today's a great day. Honestly, I love it. A great introduction, everybody. We are here with Bella from Love Island, USA, also known as Belldasha. Have you heard that one yet? Yeah.

You know what? Y'all can call me anything you want. Just don't call me late for dinner.

Bella, thank you so much for joining us. You know, you were the first person to leave the villa this season of Love Island and you're still in Fiji right now. So thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. But we want to know, how are you feeling? Like it was, it was, you know, a short little stint. You got your water bottle still, you're still in Fiji. How are we feeling?

I am genuinely just so blessed with the opportunity to even be in Fiji, to even step foot into that villa. My time was really short lived. But even if it was a day, I'm still happy with my experience. You know, I said what I said. I did what I did. And I'm walking away with my head held high. We have loved Fiji.

watching you and we were sad about how it kind of all went down but at the same time I think we were both so proud of

of you and Sierra and how you handled that situation because there's so many times when that can really tear the girls apart but you guys really seem to have a pretty good understanding of like hey we both like the same guy I'm gonna try to talk to him you're gonna try to talk to him and we're gonna see how this goes like what were conversations like with Sierra when you guys were both trying to you know vie for Nick's heart?

Yeah, so I'm actually really sad that so much of Sierra and I were cut out that people didn't get to see. But we became really, really close. She is the sweetest soul and so stunning on the outside. But when Nick said her, her inside matches her outside, he

was spitting bars with that because it's so true she's such a lovely person and I'm proud of how she handled everything I'm so happy to have met her and really like Nick and I

I'm cool off him, you know? Like, he was in this position that he's got two 10s on both sides of him, like, fighting for his attention. Like, that's, I don't think that's a real world problem for Nick. So I had to give him his moment and let him eat it up.

Honestly, so true. You're both absolutely gorgeous. You guys both seem so sweet. And I think we all felt that watching. And like Fran said, as viewers, I think we were just happy to see you and Sarah kind of be respectful towards each other in like, okay, this is a process. Everybody's getting to know each other. Everybody's exploring. It's early days, as they say. And I think you guys both allowed that to happen. Now, during the Knicks

recoupling speech, he did mention a moment in the photo booth. And I think in that moment, we saw your face sort of realize that it wasn't going to be you. And as viewers, we realized that it was going to be Sierra because we had seen the photo booth moment. Are you still wondering what that photo booth moment was? Are you clued in? Oh, I am very much caught up.

I was for sure caught off guard because when he said, when we shared a moment, dot, dot, dot, I knew we could go either way. And when those words left his mouth by saying photo booth, I knew that Nick and I had never shared a moment in the photo booth. So I knew in my heart that I was going home that night, but no idea that it was going to go that direction. I knew there was a chance, but I,

So much of Nick and I's conversations have been cut to the public. All the times he was reassuring me and telling me that he's all about me and so happy to get to know me and be in this with me. That was cut. And even up until the very last conversation that we had, right before the recoupling, I was the last person he spoke to. And some of the last words he said to me were, "Bella, I don't want you to worry."

So why wouldn't they're not worrying? Yeah. That is a common theme on this show where everyone's like, don't worry, don't worry. But then what comes down to it, somebody has to be worried because somebody has to be sent home. And I don't think you guys are expecting in that moment when you get the text that it's, oh, this person's dumped from the villa. This person's dumped from the island. Like it could be that they're just single. So you really never know how it's going to go. I'm not sure if you know, but everybody on

line is very upset to see you gone. Like people were really, really upset to see you go. They loved your one liners. Everybody was really warming up to you, honestly. And I think one of the things, um, you know, when you begin to watch a show and you get to know the cast, it's like at first, you know, we're a

You were, you know, you had your boundaries. You were like, I don't kiss on the first date. So you weren't kissing the guys at first. And, you know, so I think some viewers were like, you know, well, does Bella know what show she signed up for? Because this shit gets really raunchy. Like everybody's making out all over the place. But you kept your boundaries. And then we saw in the baseball challenge, you were like, you know what? I'm going to have fun. And you were like,

let loose and you were doing your thing, what made you make that decision to start, you know, making out with the guys versus how you felt in the beginning? Because by the way, either way is fine. I'm just curious to know what made you make that decision. Yeah, I just want to say all power to my girls who feel that comfortability and going in and making out and doing whatever. All power to them. I ride for y'all. But for me, I knew that

who I am in the outside world, I have that role. You know, I wanted to stay true to myself. And it's not that deep. I'm not afraid of kissing. I love physical touch. I really wanted to go in there laying a foundation of what I stand for and what I value. And I just wanted to gain the respect of the, I want to say boys. I wanted to gain the respect of the boys first and foremost.

And what's not shown is me having a conversation with every single one of them and them telling me how much they respect me. And once I felt that comfortability and feeling seen and feeling known,

That's when I let my guard down. And that's when I knew I wasn't going into this challenge with a bunch of strangers, but people who did respect me for my values and respect me for who I am. And I think people were, they were hyping it up. Like, I think all the girls on the show, the guys, they were like, Bella's letting loose. Like people,

we're cheering it on. And, you know, I think that's why seeing you go home was sort of like, oh, like it seemed like you were opening up and like really letting this experience in. So it was, it was fun to watch. And I think, you know, some of your, your lines already, like this coochie's on lock. People keep saying that online too. Yeah.

You being one of them. What did you say? I said me being one of them. Oh, I love you for that. We were really cracking up at the one-liners and just kind of like it did for you. I guess I should ask, have you seen all the episodes that you've been in?

Yeah, I am very caught up. It was a hard watch. Yeah, I was going to say, how was it watching yourself back?

Because at first, when we were first introduced to you, it felt like we didn't really fully get to see your full personality. Everyone was joking. It was kind of like a lot of one-liners, like a lot of like, hit this line. And then we got to see you open up and have those conversations with Ciara, like some of the other girls, and hearing the other girls talk about how...

They just think you have such an amazing heart and all these things. It's like, okay, well now we're getting to see it. Those first couple episodes when that was kind of like what was happening for you, what were you thinking watching it?

So of course, I know myself better than anybody else. And the first three episodes, I want to say watching those really broke my heart because I didn't see me in them. And not physically, but I just I didn't see who I am. I didn't see my character. I think that they just painted me as the third girl in this love triangle who didn't have any depth to her. And that broke me because I am

I am this little bundle of energy who's crazy and weird and quirky and a little spicy sometimes. And I didn't have any of those layers to me until the last two episodes where I did feel that comfortability and finally opening up.

It was definitely a hard watch. I felt all the same feelings over again, watching it over and it opened my mind and just like it opened my mind to a lot of different things and gave me clarity. But it

It was hard not really seeing myself. And it was definitely difficult finally feeling like myself and giving y'all a glimpse of me. And it was just the beginning and already the end. So I am very sad that I didn't get the opportunity to

keep growing and and showing who i am right i mean i can imagine it's very disorienting you know you're going you're flying to fiji you're getting accustomed to there then you're thrown into a villa with people you don't know so i'm sure it does take a little bit for like your personality or even if you are showing your personality there's 24 hours in a day they're filming they got to cover all bases so it's like hard when you're watching yourself and you're like wait what

What about this side of me and that side of me? So I feel like that totally makes sense. And, you know, we're watching the Islanders now, the people you were in the villa with, and we have questions about them. And I guess my first question I want to ask is, do Huda and Jeremiah seem the way they do to us on camera, which is that they are going too hard, too fast. That's tough.

I have to say I am the closest with Huda and Jeremiah in that villa. And I want to say I might be a little biased in wanting to see them together.

stick it out to the end. But the first few days I was checking, checking Huda like you can't put all your eggs in one basket. You can't be so sure. Jeremiah was writing all the other girls off. I mean, maybe you guys even saw we were terrified to put him down for the challenges. We were terrified to embrace even getting to know him. And all the guys were terrified and getting to know Huda as well. So

that is pretty difficult going into an experience and writing everybody off right away and i i definitely encouraged her not to do that and i think ultimately they they did do that and i'm starting to see them clash a little bit which makes me really sad but i do know that they are genuinely starting to like each other but i think it's becoming a little real to them and i also think that jeremiah is letting some outside opinions

cloud his feelings for her a little bit. And I'm terrified for my girl because I don't want her being left heartbroken and having nobody else to save her, no other connection to keep her in that villa.

Yeah, I mean, just as a viewer, I think, and you were there, so you would know more than us, but I think as a viewer, we're kind of wishing that both of them would like explore and experiment with other people a little bit more, because like you said, it can end up in a situation where one of them gets heartbroken and it's like, well, I didn't explore at all.

at all and we were too heavy, too fast. And now this is exploding because we were all in without seeing and exploring our options, which kind of leads me to Ace and Shelly a little bit where they're doing quite the opposite. And it's like these two, like, do they like each other? Do they not like each other? How did you feel about that situation? You know, Austin's with Shelly and then Ace coupled up with Amaya and everyone's like, it's a will they, won't they situation.

There's a lot of weird things that happened in that recoupling that caught everybody in that villa off guard. One being Ace not choosing Shelly to couple up with. We were all very shocked with his decision because everybody knows that they have an amazing connection and a great chemistry. They even met before outside of the villa and them being in the same place at the same time for the same reasons.

Again, and in this moment, I just feel like the stars are aligning and they need to let them. I think that Ace truly is such a slow burner and he wants that foundation of friendship. He doesn't want to go all in with physical touch right away. He doesn't

I just think he wants to play it safe with Shelly. And I think his way of doing that was like giving her some distance to figure out her stuff because he already knows what he wants. I also feel like he really maybe at the beginning didn't think that Austin was a threat.

And now Austin's really putting in the work for Shelly. And I think she appreciates that. I think that's why, like he's turning it up a little bit now. I, you watch him with the, with, you know, I don't know if you've seen the pie scene,

Oh, yeah. That was, I mean, my God. He turned, talk about boundaries. Like, he broke all boundaries with that. He put that pie. He brought that heat. I was screaming. Come on, baby. I was like, wow. Yeah, I was so sad I didn't get to be a part of that challenge. But it was so fun getting to watch. And maybe hoping and praying that Nick would get a pie to the face. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see that.

yeah that didn't happen yeah I think like Austin really bringing the heat shocked everybody because Austin's just this goofy little guy coming in and he's kind of viewed as like the class clown of the villa we always call him the dad of the group because he's got his little bucket hat and he's always just watching the guys do their thing so yeah I think Ace might be caught off guard a little bit by the heat that he's bringing and Austin is starting to put his foot down like I'm

I don't like the way you're moving around my girl. You had your opportunity and you didn't pick her. So what are you doing? Slithering around trying to snatch her away from me. What? Yeah. I think it's sort of like, all right, make a move or don't make a move. Like everyone be honest about how you're feeling personally. I didn't love how Amaya was talking to Shelly. I'm not sure if you saw that, but because it felt like, you know, cause it felt like Shelly, um,

was kind of being open and honest about, you know, she's like feeling the connections. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, I don't know what's happening here. Amaya's yelling at Shelly and what's going on there. How did you feel about that situation? I do believe that Amaya's, I don't want to say anger, but reaction was very misdirected because I do think that Shelly has just been doing what Shelly does and she can't help that all the guys want her. Yeah.

She can't help that Ace is like falling for her and he's not fully happy in his couple. But I also do want to cut Amaya a little bit of slack after getting to know her because she is this amazing person, but she does carry a lot of deep rooted baggage that I think is, is putting her in this fight or flight place. And she's kind of fighting right now. And Ace kind of

purple by being all all in on her like the speech he gave was beautiful I had high hopes knowing them both individually I was like okay wait this could be a really cute couple I'm here for it and then

All of a sudden he's like, yeah, this is just friends. Like watch your, don't call me baby. Watch your hands. Don't give me a hug. Don't, don't do any of that around me. I kind of felt like the audacity was a little high with that one. Yeah. Cause he was like, I can't wait to share a bed, but don't. Would you choose me? And then tell me you don't want me. Yeah. Yeah.

Exactly. And all in the same night, like she was saying, at least wait till the morning. Like, let's just like you just you just gave this speech. Like, let me enjoy it. I'm curious. I'm curious if obviously we saw you connect with Nick, but in your initial entrance to the villa, were there any of the other guys that maybe you had your eye on that we didn't see or that it didn't work out with? Or maybe like they they found someone else really quickly. So you didn't even try. Yeah.

For sure. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure everybody saw that I kiss both Nick and Taylor. I always thought Taylor was very attractive since day one. But he doesn't look like my ex, but he has some similarities to my ex. And so I that was just too close to home. You know, so I kind of put my

to put myself out of my comfort zone and went for somebody I wouldn't usually go for in the outside world in hopes that maybe it would work out a little better for me. Are you wishing you explored with Taylor a bit more? Yeah, so...

It's really tough being having loyalty in my blood and being such a girl's girl because Alandria is one of my best friends in that villa. And that like my loyalty to her really stopped me from even wanting to explore things with Taylor. But if anybody else saved me that night, it would have been Taylor. Now, yeah, keep going. Oh, I was just saying like,

I got to have two conversations before I left and one was with Nick and the other one was with Taylor. Oh, really? And what did that conversation consist of? It was just him telling me that he's really, really sad that he didn't want me to go home. He would have loved to explore the start of what we had, but he was nervous that if he saved me, I would have just still been gunning for Nick forever.

Very interesting. I was a little wild card in his mind and I completely can't help but understand why. That is very interesting to know. I feel like as a viewer, we feel like Alandria and Taylor are getting to know each other, but we're kind of confused if they have the chemistry, they don't have the chemistry. So that is super interesting to know as an outsider. I am wondering the bruise on the lip. Is it feeling better? Yeah.

I'm so glad you asked this because nobody else has and I haven't been able to clear the air. And these guys just couldn't wait to get a taste of me. They became little vampires and sucked the whole life out of my lip. Me with a nasty hickey right there.

And I tried putting lip liner on, I tried putting lipstick on, and nothing was staying. So I was a little afraid people were going to think, "Oh, she got some nasty makeup on." No, it was a whole hickey on my lip.

Bella, I have to be completely honest with you. I thought because you had the blue, the eyebrows going and with your look, I thought you just added a little blue into your lip. Like I totally thought it was a makeup choice. And then I saw your video where you said that it was a bruise. So it was just during that challenge that everyone just was so excited to get a piece of Bella that they just really slurped it right up. Literally, literally like that.

Obviously, all the clips are cut, but those kisses lasted so long. And when I went in, I went in, and the guys were eating that up. And something you also don't see is Ace, he, like, looked back at Nick. He pointed, and he laughed, and then he went back for seconds. That man is a menace. That man is a menace. Oh, my God. And you know what? People have a lot to say.

Yeah. Perfect for the, for the show. You know what I mean? Like he's, he's, he's giving what he needs to give for this show, especially a move like that. That's diabolical. Absolutely. And I wish that made the cut because I thought it was hilarious. He was like in your face, Nick, I got to kiss your girl before you. That wow. What a menace. And, and yeah, like Nick was so upset that he wasn't my first Villa kiss. You chose him as the home run.

And I think, you know, he's just a silly little boy in his silly little world. And he didn't really understand that concept, but he just wished that he was the first for me. I think like the audacity there is wild. That is wild. He walked away from the couple that we were in. That's wild. Also, it's like he'd rather be picked. He'd rather be picked as first base than the home run. It's supposed to be.

Yeah, he was a little slow. It's okay. No, I mean, look, and then it's the same kind of thing. And I'm sure you saw it too. Like after Sierra really gave him the chance to be like, all right, like now that you picked me, like, let's move on. Like what, anything else happened? Like, did you say anything to her to reassure? And he was like, no.

I think that Kat got that boy's tongue because never ever did he communicate what he should have communicated. He left me in the dark the entire time and he was feeding us the same things.

Once again, I can't fault him for exploring his other options. That's what we're there to do. But be transparent. Don't make me look like a fool and don't make Sierra look like a fool. We are both high value women. And if he's not going to treat us as such, then we both deserve so much better.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. A couple of fun ones. I want to just ask about you because we, we, you know, we joked about the bell dash, uh, like the, and that's what everyone has been joking about online too. But like, has that been your name? So it sounds silly. Has that been what you've gone by forever? And like, what kind of issues arise with, with that? Or do you have to, when people are like our Bella, you actually there, there's a dash in there. You got to fix that.

No, so my name has gone through this evolution throughout my life. And it's almost like my name and my nickname is associated by the place that I'm in. So I was born in Oregon. I grew up with the nicknames Isabel, Iz, Izzy, things like that. And then when I moved to Hawaii and I, you know, I was in college.

Bella was my rebrand. I didn't want any bit of Isabel left on me. I was paving my own path and I was starting this new journey and I left everything and everybody behind that I had ever known. Bella was who I wanted to be. She brought a new sense of confidence and a new character. And I

Then it started going a little further like, "Why is it Bella if your name is Isabel Ann?" Then I started tying "Belle-" into it because my legal name is Isabel-Ann. My mom's name is Vera-Ann. I am named after her and that "-" is in my birth certificate and everything.

You own the dash. You have to have the dash in there. That's mine. What's the respect on the dash?

Yeah, no, nobody's ever put so much emphasis on the dash until being in this villa and hearing everybody absolutely going crazy for it. And I'm here for it. I love it. Yeah, I think what we were just like, well, is it Belle? Like, do we have to take a pause? Or is it just Bella? Yeah. You know, is it Belle Dasha? Is it Belle A? Right, Belle A is a good one. But so it's just Bella. Yeah, it's just Bella. Yeah.

Hey, but you it's your take on however you want to. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Another thing that had just tick tock on fire. And I know it must be crazy for you because we're talking about it and you, you know, you don't have your phone. Like you're not you're you're you're not back into the into society quite yet. Yes. Yes.

Which is crazy. But it's like, where do you think like that evolution has come from? Because you said Oregon, Hawaii. Do you think your like voice has changed from different places you've moved to? Because sometimes people will be like, wow, in that conversation, she sounded totally different from that conversation. Yeah.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't really know. I've had several people ask me about my accent and I wasn't fully aware that I had an accent. But kind of thinking about it, I do know that my tone and my little twang might...

differ depending on the crowd I'm around. And I think it just has a lot to do with like my slang from being from Oregon, my tone and accent from being first generation American, my accent around other native Hawaiians. Like when I'm around other Pacific Islanders, it is strong and I am aware that it is heavy around them. But when I'm around other people who don't have that same

accent then i don't know i don't know i didn't i don't really have an answer for that just a whole a whole mess of things and we love it it's that's why it's just a whole mix plate exactly and you know we are hoping and you know you never know you're still in fiji we're we have our fingers crossed that maybe it won't be the last we see of you

You know, I'm crossing my fingers right there with you. I don't know what's in store for me, but I'm willing to walk through any door that opens. Love it. Good. Love it. We can end on that note. I was going to say that could be multiple doors. There's a highway door. There's a lot of doors down there at that villa. That could be literally anything. All of them.

Bella, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. You are a shooting star in this Love Island universe, honestly. People are loving you. They're upset that you're gone. And we're really happy that we got to talk to you. So thank you so much.

Thank you guys so much for this opportunity. I love your podcast and I'm a big supporter of every single one of you as well. So being here is very surreal for me. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Well, enjoy your time in Fiji. Yes. Hopefully it goes even longer. Yeah. Thank you so much. Let's go. Yeah. Give them what they're
