Gillian Griffin: Hi, I'm Gigi and this is Love Island Tea Time. Ooh ooh, hot tea. Good morning. Marissa Castillo: and I'm Morning, everyone. I hate it here. Gillian Griffin: My first note, I hate watching Ellie cry. Marissa Castillo: It's the worst. It takes a lot for her to do that. So I just It's just the worst Gillian Griffin: I feel like Nah. The entire first half was just basically about Ellie and Finlay. And then there's a little bit of Priya and Aiden sprinkled in. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: And also, why is Aiden constantly constantly talking people out of their gut instincts to be kind, reasonable, decent human beings? Marissa Castillo: I'm saying because I truly don't understand. Why are we coming to this man for advice? I actually saw a tweet and I can't pull it up right now, but it was a good one. Gillian Griffin: Inmates are running the asylum. Marissa Castillo: What was that? Gillian Griffin: I said the inmates are running the asylum. Marissa Castillo: Truly, I just don't understand, well, I don't understand men period, but I don't understand the logic of going to the worst man, not the worst man, because I guess Simba's considered the worst, but I think he's pretty like top three worst men in the villa. Why are we going to him for advice? Why are we even talking to him? And why are we talking to Cavan as well? Gillian Griffin: Mm. I don't I don't know. I really think that Aiden has changed the trajectory of this whole show. Like really and truly, like he has the worst takes I've ever heard. Like absolutely god awful. And these little clown minions all are like, you're right, Master Kavan, actually, like Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yes, absolutely. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Him, Kavan, Samraj sitting somewhere and then even Fitzy will chime in and be like, Yeah, why would you do that? Why would you do that? Just to make sure that Ellie feels okay. Marissa Castillo: Just... Can you sh- Can you all just shut up? How about that? Gillian Griffin: Fitsy, while do you do anything that you do so that Lola will feel okay? Hmm? Interesting that hasn't come up. Marissa Castillo: Exactly. Gillian Griffin: Hmm. Weird. Marissa Castillo: I'm just very- I'm very frustrated by those three. And you know what? Who else annoyed me this episode? I think it was Samaraj as well. Mmhmm. Gillian Griffin: What does Samaraj do? because he was a part of that conversation? Marissa Castillo: It was a part of a later conversation with Finley being like, yeah, you deserve to be open and to explore. the words, I want to leave here with Ellie came out of Finley's mouth and somehow the boys still feel justified to be like, but you should explore, but you should do this, but you should do that. Shut up! Just shut up. Everyone needs to be quiet. Everyone needs to sit down in a quiet corner and think about themselves and stop worrying about other people. Gillian Griffin: Do you think that Alicia taking them to the hideaway was one hundred percent natural or do you think that was a producer thing? Do you think the producers were like, you know what? The hideaway's not getting used. Let's suggest to Alicia that she should take the boys she likes into the hideaway. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I just... It doesn't strike me as the type of thing she'd do, personally, nor do I think she would suggest a game of Truth or Dare. Gillian Griffin: So I'm saying I mean they do it all the time on the show though, so I don't know. It's just like Marissa Castillo: Like how old are we? Gillian Griffin: I don't understand. He really seemed to feel like he absolutely ate that shit by going. I immediately said no kisses on the lips. It's a terrible reflection of his accent, but he sucks, so I don't care. I immediately said no kisses, no lips and But then you did things bad. Marissa Castillo: she lifts you up and down. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, like arguably worse than kissing? Like, how what world are we living in? Also, this girl is gonna end up with someone who fucking sucks because she's like, he was so respectful. He was so respectful. She doesn't sound like that, but she kept saying it over and over, and I was just like, is respectful in the room with us? It wasn't in that hideaway. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. That part. No, literally I'm like, where did we see respectful at? Because I definitely felt the disrespect, the utmost disrespect on Ellie's behalf. So if you, I don't know if she's just trying to put on like a face in front of the other girls and like maybe not throw Finley under the bus, which babe, he's not your man so there's no loyalty there. I'm just like, why are we lying? Because that wasn't respectful. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: But you had no problem revealing that Aiden kissed you. So I don't know. I really think that's, there's some like, well, I didn't throw you under the bus, so love you. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, I don't know. I'm just like that was wild to me. Just the fact that he thinks that he did he did that thing, that he was like exploring he's like, I'm not I'm gonna be just chatting to where normal, but not lips and all that crazy stuff. I just, my brain is genuinely confounded. And I wish that Ellie had screamed at him because he fucking deserved it. Marissa Castillo: He did. to your point, you can have chats with her. You don't have to kiss her neck or play truth or dare with her or go to the hideaway with her. I think Angelus and Ellie were both like, yeah, but he could have said no. Gillian Griffin: Exactly. There's that part that we forgot to talk about because we I skipped straight to getting licked up and down. I felt so bad for her. Cause first of all, he doesn't even say, like, hey, like even if you did want to go into the hideaway with her, go over just say, hey, give me one minute. Go up to Ellie and say, hey, she's pulling me and Aiden to the hideaway. Either A, I just want to let you know, or B, is that is that okay with you? Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: You know, one either thing is acceptable, I think, in the world of Love Island. Just hey, just so you know, she's pulling me to the hideaway. Give her give Ellie a kiss on the cheek or something. Like I think, like when people go on dates with the bombshells, it's always feels really telling whether they like give their partner any reassurance before they go away. And so I really felt for her that she had no communication and just had to watch him walk in there like everybody else did. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Gillian Griffin: In the exact same moment. Then she was sitting in the dressing room just crying her eyes out. So I'm like, that is a disrespect. You shouldn't have gone in there. It's crazy. And at the very least, if you were gonna go in there, you should have said something to her so she doesn't feel like an idiot. Like that's what she was saying. She's like, I look so stupid sitting here while you just wander into the hideaway with this girl. Marissa Castillo: Yes, and I think had it been earlier days between them, it may have been a different story, but this is clearly an established connection. They've been together for a few weeks now, she's expressed some heavy feelings, he's gotten emotional over her, like they've slept together. Like this is not just some random spur of the moment connection like Aiden and Priya. So like, yes, I felt for Priya, but... Gillian Griffin: For sure. They've slept together. Marissa Castillo: And that was more like, well, this is new, I don't really care as much. This, however, was the most disrespectful thing you could probably do. That's like Aiden, that's like Lorenzo going to the hideaway. That's like Samraj going to the hideaway. These are men that are in really seemingly good, strong connections. So it's like a slap in the face. I hated everything of that for her. Gillian Griffin: And then when they had the audacity to pull them for a group chat after they came out. Well, first of all, not even that they had the audacity to pull the girls for a group chat when they came out. He went straight to the boys, which I was like, that's disrespectful as fuck. You should be going straight to Ellie. Are you crazy? You're gonna go sit and tell all of the boys what happened and then go talk to Ellie in a little while so she can hear it from other people? So she can hear what happened from Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: The girl, like, are you okay? The answer is no. The answer is no. Marissa Castillo: That's rhetorical at this point. Gillian Griffin: I can't that's the the theme of the season. Are these people okay? Marissa Castillo: It's just whenever you get involved with Aiden, nothing ever goes right. That includes friendships. Gillian Griffin: And also, Aiden, can you not like you already did so much damage to Ellie from jump. So could you stand on business and be kind to her or something? Like, hello, and be like, no, Ellie's had a hard time. I think you should be really careful in how you move. Like, dude, you suck. And then that group conversation where he's trying to like Marissa Castillo: No, truly. Gillian Griffin: be like, well, I'm gonna explain and I'm gonna defend him. And I was so happy that Ellie was like, honestly, I don't need you to talk. Basically. And then she was like, I'm okay. And I was like, she's not okay. She is shaking. She was visibly shaking. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Her leg? Priya was trying to calm her down and I was like, don't do that. Gillian Griffin: She's unhappy. She's pissed off. And rightfully so. I just can't believe. Yeah. I couldn't believe she handled it so well, considering I was like, that's my girl. And that's how you can tell she actually really likes him is because she's not just screaming her head off at him. Cause otherwise she would. Because she's scared to lose him. And I hate that for her. Meanwhile, Priya. Marissa Castillo: That's true. Gillian Griffin: Hello? Marissa Castillo: Mm. She's like pretty... I don't want to say down bad for Aiden, but she's pretty down. Gillian Griffin: I mean I saw a tweet and this is kind of rude, but it's kind of true. It was like something along the lines of the thing about Priya is you don't even have to work that hard to gaslight her 'cause she'll gaslight herself. Marissa Castillo: Aww. Gillian Griffin: And I was just kinda like, she does really just take anything that someone gives her and go, Everything's great. And and then walk around going like she takes everyone at face value. It's unfortunate, but like I'm really like looking at her, watching her have this conversation with Aiden and him going, I had a kiss with this girl and her going, Okay. Marissa Castillo: That's true. Gillian Griffin: And then them talk about like there won't be any more kisses outside of whatever. And I'm just like, are you guys well? No. Marissa Castillo: I am. I think she's a little just over the experience probably and broken because same thing happened with Samaraj where they kissed in bed and then the next day it was something else. the same, like it's just with Aiden, like she was like, we were kissing in bed all night, like all night. And then Aiden goes into the hideaway with this new bombshell and straight up kisses her. Gillian Griffin: It was something else. It is just Marissa Castillo: Even though it's a quote unquote game, who was it that said? Gillian Griffin: By the way, it's just a game. It was a it was a game anyway. Even Ellie said, yeah, it's a game, like but who decided to play the game? It wasn't a game at the fire pit that's assigned by the producers and people have gotten madder over dumber shit in those games. Marissa Castillo: No! Exactly, exactly. can't remember which Islander, I think it was one of the boys that was like, it was Kevin. It was Kevin, which took me by surprise. Because I was like, why are you making sense right now? But he was like, but it wasn't a game. Like it wasn't a challenge. It wasn't a challenge. It was a game that used to, you know, were playing or used to play were playing. Gillian Griffin: Probably Samrush. Did it? he said that, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that you of your own free will decide to play. And by the way, it's called Truth or Dare. And somehow by the end of it, you did pick up on the fact that you could pick truth. So I don't know, maybe if you wanted to be respectful and play the game, you could have picked truth every time. Just sick of him. Just get him out. I mean, just either sh someone shake him. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Congrats. Gillian Griffin: shake him like a Polaroid picture or kick him out. Marissa Castillo: Which hymn? Because at this point, I have a handful of hymns. Gillian Griffin: I mean, I'm talking about Finlay saying shake him to wake him up. And then I was like, or kick him out. Marissa Castillo: yeah. I am just extremely disappointed at this point. Gillian Griffin: Truly. But then we got Snog Mary Pie. Marissa Castillo: Hmm. Yes? Gillian Griffin: Which let's just discuss it. I did. Marissa Castillo: I didn't make a chart for this. Gillian Griffin: I'm not even kidding. Marissa Castillo: Let's see it. Gillian Griffin: What? Marissa Castillo: Oh, she's getting her computer and I can't see a thing because it's blurry. That's okay. Oh, I can see a little bit. I can see a little. Gillian Griffin: Mm-hmm. I made a beautiful chart. I made a beautiful, beautiful chart. Marissa Castillo: Sowing. Gillian Griffin: But yeah, sorry. Forgot to talk about Ellie talking to her and her like Ellie talking to to Alicia and like what a lovely conversation they had and that Ellie was literally offering her to wear her shoes and being like blah blah blah and her just being like, Well, he's giving energy back. Like I just want to tell you that I wouldn't be talking to him if he wasn't giving energy back. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: The end. Marissa Castillo: Also, I think those are Yasmin's shoes. Gillian Griffin: Still, I mean she she they're chit chatting about shoe wear. Marissa Castillo: They're being girlypops with each other. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. And neither has had to say that they're a girl's girl. Nobody at me. Marissa Castillo: Although I just don't think Alicia is completely honest. I will say that. I wish she was or she has some sort of weird moral compass. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. She keeps saying all the boys are so respectful, so I feel like she just has a weird moral compass. I think she's very much logged into Love Island mindset. She's like for Love Island, the boys are really respectful. Marissa Castillo: Fair to say. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Anyway, let's run this down real quick because some we don't care about as much, some we're gonna care about more of the snog merry pie. Of course, right before snog merry pie happens, Simba goes, I can do a little bit of tongue, right? Marissa Castillo: my god, Angela said no tongue. Gillian Griffin: He's like, I thought you said that was fine. And everyone in the world would we all remember when you were holding her hair while she ate breakfast and she said no tongue, kiss Lola. She's a safe bet. We all know what the rules were, Simba. This motherfucker. Marissa Castillo: Yes. Right, let's... He's, he's, sort of growing on me, but I'm still upset at him. Gillian Griffin: So long as Angie's in charge. Marissa Castillo: Exactly. Gillian Griffin: Okay. Marissa Castillo: So all the girls went first. Gillian Griffin: yeah. Yasmin snog Tommy, no surprise. Married Fitz, not really surprise. Pied Aiden because her name is fucking Yasmin. Marissa Castillo: Not Ellie! Gillian Griffin: A Jasmine snogged Kavan obviously married Samraj. Sorry for screaming, but that just lends to all of my theories I used to have. my god, can I tell an embarrassing story really quick? Marissa Castillo: Hmm. I know, I know you were so happy. Gillian Griffin: I work at a restaurant, right? And I usually am up at the host stand because I am a major D. I'm really fancy. And there's a table not far from the host stand. And I hear Lorenzo something something. Lorenzo something something. I was like, Love Island, UK watchers, because I'd already heard them talk about USA, because everybody's talking about it. I was like, whatever. But they I heard Lorenzo Lorenzo. So I walked I like got so excited and I walked over the like three steps and I went, Lorenzo? And everybody at the table turned and looked at me like So weird. And I was like, You guys are talking about Lorenzo? Lorenzo? And they're like, no, no one is named Lorenzo. And I was like, I'm so sorry. I thought you guys were talking about Love Island, UK. And they were like, no, we were talking about Love Island, USA. And then two girls were like, no, we're talking about Love Island, UK. So only two out of seven people at the table were talking about Love Island UK. And Marissa Castillo: You Gillian Griffin: It was so embarrassing. But then we had a little kiki afterwards. But it was so awkward at first. Everyone was like, We thought you were like asking if someone Loren named Lorenzo was at the table or saying you had a call for Lorenzo and I was like, my god. Marissa Castillo: Gil. Gillian Griffin: I know. Marissa Castillo: It's okay. Gillian Griffin: Gimba. Marissa Castillo: Also, if Jasmine fakes out Lorenzo one more time, stop it! Gillian Griffin: For real Then she pied the shit out of him. I knew she would though and I knew she would do it for that dastardly Kevin. And he was Kevin was way too happy. I'm mad at Kevin. Mad at him. Marissa Castillo: Literally, I'm so mad at him. I'm so mad at him. I... I have no words. I'm broken over just that relationship alone. We can talk more about it in a minute or later or whatever, but I don't... I hate that she did that. I hate that she pied Lorenzo. I would have pied Aiden, personally, because... Gillian Griffin: Easily. Cause also, what did this motherfucker do even though he's like, I love you with my brother? Marissa Castillo: He pied her, which we can talk about more too, but like, she literally looked Lorenzo. Gillian Griffin: The only boy the only boy who did the pies right was Samarash. Marissa Castillo: Yes, she looked Lorenzo in the eye and said, I don't know how I can make it more clear that this affair isn't a thing. And you could just tell he was heartbroken in his eyes. Like, and I felt so bad, like, ugh. Gillian Griffin: Continue. Yeah. Yeah. And it wasn't until she said, I did I did it 'cause I knew you could take it and he was like, Okay, fair enough. And then he got that little smile that he gets about her. but yeah, I just was like No sound is coming out of my mouth. Marissa Castillo: Mark my words. Mark my damn words. They will date in the real world. Gillian Griffin: For real. Just come on, babe. I'm telling you, either all-stars this year or next year, if either of them are single, if both sorry, if both of them are single, they're both going to All-Stars this year. Marissa Castillo: They have to. I need it to happen. Gillian Griffin: They have to. I need Jasmine and Kavan break up expeditiously. I need them to be broken up within six months and beyond all-stars. I need it. I need Lorenzo and Jasmine in six months. And by the way, they will have crazy viewership for all-stars if they bring the two of them back. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yes. Mm-hmm. You hear that, producers? Gillian Griffin: Do you hear it? Do you hear it? Rum pam pum. I think anyone can sing that song, I think. Angelista, snog semba, obviously, married Fitz, seemed reasonable. Fitz and Saraj got all the rings, and then she pied calf for Jasmine, which is like, that's right. That's what I would have done for you, and that's what you would have done for me. We both know. Marissa Castillo: lord. Angela Star. Yes, see Jasmine, you could have pied Aiden or Simba. And that would have been more acceptable. You could have pied anyone except Lorenzo. Gillian Griffin: You could have pied Fenley. She could have pied the the bombshell. Very literal. Very literal. Alicia snogged Finley. Ellie's head whipped around so fast she might as well have been in the exorcist. She whipped. Marissa Castillo: period. my, and then Yasmin and... Yasmin and Angelica were like... And if you're watching, I did move sideways twice. Gillian Griffin: Spun around in my spinny chair. then she married Samraj, which I was like, she already knows Samraj is kind of one of the better boys in there. Okay. And then she pied Lorenzo and said there were red flags. Like you were trying to f ask if you could flirt with my friends. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Lord. He's just like, it was a joke. Everything's a joke to him. Gillian Griffin: He said I just wanted he said I just wanted to know if your friends were nice. Marissa Castillo: I love this man so much, please. Gillian Griffin: Love him too. Priya snogged Ethan, and that was hot. And I was like, that's right, girl. You get your lick back for him kissing that bombshell. I think her and Ethan are way hotter than her and Aiden. Just my opinion, but we'll see what happens. she married Aiden, and then she pied Samurage hard. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Hard. Gillian Griffin: He said, I thought there was Vim in that. And then he went and she went, Yes, there was. Marissa Castillo: And then later on, Priya regrets marrying Aiden and she says she should have married Lorenzo. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. And I understand why. because but I also do feel like she was the one who accidentally set the trend of not kissing your partner, even if it was very respectful. It was either it was like her and Lola back to back. So even though people were very respectful, Lola kissed Tommy on the cheek, the married Fitzy, and for the girl in the strongest couple, arguably. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: To set the standard that you don't have to make out with your partner in this game, which used to be the way it was. That was like the rules. Unspoken rules. You snog whoever you're in a couple with and attach to. You marry someone else who's a fri a good friend or who treats somebody else really well. And you pie, you know, someone you don't like. Cause Marissa Castillo: Hmm. Gillian Griffin: We all learned that from season five. When have you gotten to this part in season five? Have you gotten to Snog Mary Pie? my God. It's one of the most iconic moments. I won't spoil it for you because you'll know who at least one of the people are. But someone snogs someone else and brings a ring over, and the girl shuts it the fuck down and is like, get away from me. And it is one of the most iconic. Marissa Castillo: No. Gillian Griffin: Love Island moments and probably the most iconic Snog Mary Pie moment in Love Island history. She was like, You I'm not talking to you after you kiss that other girl. Cause he also like went in a little bit. He didn't go crazy, but he definitely didn't t kiss the girl on the cheek. So there you have it. but yeah. Lola kissed Tommy on the cheek, then Mary Fitzy, and then Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: pie the fuck out of fan. And I was like, you're right. I was like, listen, Lilda, you're right. Marissa Castillo: Somebody had to. Gillian Griffin: Somebody had to. And then it's just a bunch of pies for Aiden from Martha and Ellie. Martha kissed Jordan. Married Julia. And I was like, these girls really are besties for real. Marissa Castillo: Wait a second, because I wanted to bring that up and maybe I have the wrong villa that I'm thinking of. Well, which bombshell, because I don't know if it was USA or UK, which bombshell came in and said, yeah, my ex was a girl? It was during CASA. Gillian Griffin: I think Marissa Castillo: because I'm pretty sure it was Martha. Gillian Griffin: Maybe it was Marissa Castillo: which then I'm like, she's just playing game. She's. Gillian Griffin: Ha ha Marissa Castillo: it's just honestly I don't think it's a friendship for Martha and I definitely ship it I'm just saying. Gillian Griffin: think it might have been I I think I do remember that from Costum War 'cause she said I don't really know what I want. Marissa Castillo: Right, and I did see a tweet too about someone saying, Martha pretending to like the boys. Gillian Griffin: One second, Martha Love Island X was a girl. Marissa Castillo: just so she can get. we're Googling. Gillian Griffin: Yes, Martha's t on TikTok two weeks ago, Martha's saying her recent ex was a girl. Correct. Marissa Castillo: There we go. So that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. That it is more than a friendship. Gillian Griffin: No wonder she doesn't like to be cuddly and physical. Marissa Castillo: Exactly! Gillian Griffin: No girl, do your thing. Love whoever you love. But cute. I was surprised that Yulia didn't return it, but fine. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Are you surprised that I remembered that fact? Gillian Griffin: No Marissa Castillo: Okay. Well. Gillian Griffin: Cause you're queer as hell, girl. Marissa Castillo: Screw that in case y'all didn't know. Gillian Griffin: Ellie snogged Finn, don't think he deserved it, married Lorenzo. And didn't she say one of her reasons her reasons for marrying Lorenzo is he's always stood up for her and spoke well on her and Marissa Castillo: Yes, it was the sweetest thing and he literally looked like he got watery eyed and he was like, I'm becoming emotional but so sweet. love their friendship. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, he said he was gonna cry. I would love to be friends l with Lorenzo, to be clear. I would love to be friends with him. I would never in my right mind date him. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Well, I'm not in my right mind, so I would. Gillian Griffin: goodbye. and then that was Aiden's third pie. Fucking deserved. I thought he should have gotten more of Well, like also, what do you expect? He's like, not me again. I was like, yes, you again. You behave weird. You move weird. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. You are a weirdo. Sit down. Gillian Griffin: I can't explain how much I loved and like basically screamed at my screen when Jasmine went, because you move weird. I was like, yes, get him again. Cause he does. okay, Mika gave Lorenzo a little kiss on the cheek, right? Then married Samraj and pied Kavan for her girl. And this is why you know that Mika Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Angelista and Jasmine are really the core three because come on. Looking out for her. They both were just like, we saw her so sad, and we never want to see that again. And Kevin looked genuinely upset by the fact he was getting pied over this. And I just wanted to be like, You got off virtually scot-free. Take it like a man and just own it and go, You're right. You're right. Thank you for being such a good friend. Cause he was laughing when Jasmine got pied, like laughing so much. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Truly. Gillian Griffin: Jasmine was just standing there nodding both times. He was laughing his ass off when Jasmine got pied. We'll get to that. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Oh yeah, okay, I was gonna say, because I have receipts. Gillian Griffin: Garbage truck of a man. then Yulia, of course, kissed Lorenzo, married Jordan, and then she really did her big one. I know there are people who were screaming at their TVs by her not pieing Lola, but I think it was funny overall. I think I don't know how I felt about Lola's general response to it in the end, but everyone's response to her going over to Lola was. Marissa Castillo: literal. Gillian Griffin: Crazy. If she had done it, it would have been absolutely insane. It would have been historic. Marissa Castillo: Yes, well even Priya was like, surely not. Surely not. Like everyone was on the edge of their seat being like, she's not about to do this, right? Like she knows, if she knows what's good for her, you don't pie a detective who hates you. Gillian Griffin: Truly. But then she said to Fitzhiman Cheat Pido. She's like, I feel like you've been the cause of all my drama in here. And I'm like, has he? Marissa Castillo: Yeah, because I'm pretty sure you opened your mouth and started chatting about him. He didn't say a thing about you. Gillian Griffin: J I would just say like just so Lil knows I don't actually want you anymore or something. You know what I mean? Like you I was into you, but you're locked off, so I'm pie. Like, I don't know. She could have given it any other reason. It just it seemed a little weird. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying. Nobody nobody come for me. Marissa Castillo: She really smacked that pie in his face too and he was pissed. He was evidently pissed. And I would be too. Gillian Griffin: She really did. It's the game. It is the game. Marissa Castillo: I mean, you could do that, but don't be like, but you are my problem. Like you are the reason for my problems here. Like you said, you could have given a different explanation, especially if you two agreed to put everything to bed and never bring it up again. I feel like that's subtly bringing up everything again. Gillian Griffin: She right. She right. then we had Ethan hot mack down with Priya again. Marissa Castillo: I love him so bad. I'm down bad for him. Just saying. Gillian Griffin: He's so cute. He seems like a sweetie. Then he married Angie and then he was like, Lola, you're the most closed off girl here. Gotta pie you. And again, pretty respectful about it. Simba kissed Ellie on the cheek, married Angie, and then pied Mika. Still a little rough for what I would have preferred. It was like felt felt a little crazy. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Gillian Griffin: Lorenzo went over to kiss Jasmine and she was like, cheek, cheek and Kavan was on fire about it. He was lit the fuck up about it. Why would he do that? Why would he do that? Marissa Castillo: For no reason. Because he can, he's a man and he has balls to do that. Gillian Griffin: He said, I feel like I should be honest to my journey in here. And I'm like, Okay. Hello? Marissa Castillo: I and what did I, I sent you a tweet about this particular situation. Oh, about how it says, it's at wet pretzel underscore, just, yeah, I just wanna make sure that like I'm giving credit where credit's due because some people are like, you need to, you know, whatever. It says. Gillian Griffin: Pratzle Marissa Castillo: The way Jasmine shrunk in on herself and kept looking over at controlling Kevin the whole time and her feeling bad over a friendly cheek kiss. How is this not being clocked as emotional abuse at this point? Gillian Griffin: So what I'm saying, he literally is slowly but surely suffocating her as much as possible. Like he wants to take her light and keep it in a box. Like it's giving he would turn her into an animal in a magical world so that he could keep her and know when and like only he could turn her back into a woman. And then whenever he's not around her, she has to be a fucking pigeon. You know what mean? It's giving it's giving back. Marissa Castillo: Mmm. Yes. Yes. It's giving anaconda. Gillian Griffin: I'm sorry. What? Marissa Castillo: The slowly suffocates their prey and then eats them. Gillian Griffin: The movie? And I was like, Marissa Castillo: No, ma'am. The actual snake. Gillian Griffin: in the movie on Anaconda. Marissa Castillo: No. Gillian Griffin: Okay. then Lorenzo married Yulia, pied Yasmin, was pretty nice about it. Fitzy kissed Yaz on the cheek, married Lola, and then pied Samraj about how he treated Priya, but I'm pretty sure that he was one of the people that Samuraj had the ick conversation with and that he didn't say anything to Priya either. Am I going crazy? Marissa Castillo: I'm pretty sure, or maybe that was, was that Finley or was that Sam, no, Aiden. Gillian Griffin: Finley wasn't there yet, I don't think, when Sat Maj was saying, you know, she has a big ego to die. I'm pretty sure that he said that to Fitzy, but whatever, fine. Use your good reasons for pieing someone. Finley was right there. Finley was right there. And also, Ethan just pied your missus, so I think you could also get away with pieing Ethan. Marissa Castillo: Hmm Gillian Griffin: Just saying. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Right. Gillian Griffin: Just saying. Finn kissed Ellie, married Angie, and pied Yasmin, which I felt bad that Yasmin got two pies, but I guess she has kind of like done her time with different people. Not that she totally did her time with him, but she was kinda cuddly with him in Villa USA. I did think she was gonna go for him at the time, so I could understand him being like, you kinda Something? Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Yes. Gillian Griffin: Yes. Marissa Castillo: Tommy's a much better match. Gillian Griffin: Then we then we get to where we were going. Kevin made out with Jasmine. He married Angie and then he pied Ellie. And he did do it quite nicely to Ellie. I feel like he was the most gentle. Cause Ellie was like straight up laughing. And then he also like gave Ellie his shirt to wipe her hands on and stuff. I was like, that was sweet considering he has his little rays of sunshine. If he wasn't such an insecure weirdo with Jasmine, I would like him more. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think he's the devil. Gillian Griffin: Okay, moving on. Samraj kissed Jasmine on the on the cheek, which again but also it's like Samraj is like said like something about her being like a sister. I'm like, you really don't defend that girl though. Like I'm shocked that they're apparently so close that she would marry him and he would kiss her on the cheek and that they would say such nice things about each other, but that Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: I I've never seen him once defend her. Not once. In all of the drama. Marissa Castillo: I've never seen him defend her, they also don't air any conversations between the two of them. They hardly speak from the viewer's perspective. whatever. Gillian Griffin: None. Yeah, none since the Tolicking. Very surprising. Married Mika, and like I said, he's the only one who did the pieing right. He took that pie straight to Finn. Although again, you were there when the conversation was being had about not wanting to do anything crazy and then encouraged him. So Marissa Castillo: That's what I'm saying. Like, Samaraj, I'm a little upset with you. Yes, you treat my girl Mika nicely, but you still have quite a bit of growing up to do. Gillian Griffin: For real, for real. Jordan made out with Martha, Fair, Married Mika, and then Pied Jasmine. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. We're both looking at each other. The silence was giving, well the silence there was because we were both giving each other like a look of like really bitch. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. Like, fair enough, whatever. Tommy made out with Yasmin, married Angie, and piecia, which I was like, finally someone did it. Someone was like, I'm not interested in the bombshell. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yes, and I love that he did that. He won points with me for that. I just want to make it clear. not me pulling an Aiden. I just want to make it clear. Yasmin is where my heart's at. Head's not turned. Peace out. Gillian Griffin: You did it! Bye. And then we had frickin' Aiden making out with Lucia because he took it as a big old green light from Priya. Then he got down on one knee for Ellie because he respects her so much. Blah blah blah. Meanwhile, you were over there encouraging Finley to do all kinds of crazy shit. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Come on. Marissa Castillo: Yes, just... Gillian Griffin: And Priya was pissed. Marissa Castillo: I would be pissed as well. also, Aiden gives that weird creepy uncle at the Christmas party vibes. Especially when he was like, give me a kiss. It's like, you're sick. You're actually sick. And let's get to the moment at hand. Who he putted. Gillian Griffin: It's all I can think about all the time. Jasmine, which he should not have done, period the end. Marissa Castillo: Period, the end. You wanna see Lorenzo's face? Why did you do that? I hope you're watching viewers. Why did you do that? He was like, why the fuck would you do that, Aiden? You wanna see Cavend's face? That's hilarious. Gillian Griffin: See it? Marissa Castillo: With the clapping, I was so ready with these receipts because I was like, are you actually kidding me? If my partner's brother pies me, I fully expect my partner to be like, what are you thinking? Why would you do that? And she's like, hahaha, it's okay. Gillian Griffin: I and it wasn't and it wasn't one of the respectful ones either. Like he got her good. He got her good. He didn't slam it in her face, but it wasn't as nice as when Ellie got pied by Kavan by a mile. And if I was Jasmine, she hugged him and tried not to put her hands on his shirt. If it was me, I would have been like pie filling all down your back boy. You earned it. You earned it. You're already covered in pie anyway, your shirt's ruined. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: would have rubbed my face right over his shoulder, been like, thanks for helping me clean up. I just I need a twist or turn of events. Just something. Marissa Castillo: Disgusting behavior, absolutely disgusting behavior. Gillian Griffin: And then I just have to say, dumping a couple that is covered in whipped cream is crazy. the dumping after people have been covered in whipped cream and whoever is going has at least one person who's covered Just like, please tell me you're gonna give them an hour before they need to leave the villa so they can wash their faces and redo their makeup before they have to do their exit interview. Please, don't make them sit in a car to a hotel with pie on their faces. Marissa Castillo: I say. That's terrible. For favourites, so. Gillian Griffin: Terrible. Marissa Castillo: If you didn't watch or you don't know, y'all voted for a favorite couple because we can't vote here in the USA. Gillian Griffin: You used to be able to. I should have never deleted the Love Island app off my phone. Marissa Castillo: And Yulia and Lorenzo, one for favorite couple. Gillian Griffin: Not surprised. Marissa Castillo: I'm not either, everyone's team Yulia right now and are calling Ellie, Yulia... That's true. They're calling Ellie, Yulia, and Yasmin the core three. Gillian Griffin: Everyone loved Lorenzo in the first place. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, made the same face, babe. Gillian Griffin: It's not because they're not all great in their own right. It's just, first of all, it's not like USA where a certain group of girls is really stuck together and the rest are kind of floating in and out of the friendship group and like orbiting around them. These girls are all really close. And how dare you leave out? Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Jasmine and Angelista, at least. I understand. I understand. Mika's in the bottom. Mika and Sam Raj are in the bottom. I totally get it. People are fucking annoyed with them. They're they got together in a gross way. Like for most people, he talks shit about Priya. And even though they smoothed it over, there are people that still don't like how they've been acting across the show. And that's fine. That's totally fine. I, when we talked about it yesterday, I genuinely genuinely forgot about them. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Like when we were talking about who could be in the bottom. Cause I made a totally wrong call. I got the other two right, but I was totally, totally spaced out on the fact that people have disliked them so much. Individually and together. But still, like this whole group of girl, like I don't understand how Yulia can come in after two days and be part of the core three. Like, it's also rude to Priya, because a bunch of people who love Yulia say they love Priya. Like, this is just an Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: It's just there's half of the villa are women of color. And you're gonna say the main three are only that there's only three main girls that you're rooting for. It's it's problematic. It's weird. I'm sorry. And again, they're all quite close. They all are really there for each other, and they've all really ridden from each other from beginning to end. So okay. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Right. It annoyed me, for sure. I'm just saying. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: Then we so you'll in the runs on that voted favorite couple bottom couples are Martha and Jordan Lola and fitzy Right. Well that one I called and yeah, we both called those two Mika and Sam Raj. I didn't necessarily not see it coming, but I knew that a couple that What like at least one of? Gillian Griffin: Called it. Called it. Marissa Castillo: One person in the couple was gonna be like a fan favorite. I know Mika's getting a lot of heat, but I also feel like she's also getting a lot of praise. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah, combo for sure. It just depends on whether you just like ride for her or not, because it's it's the like I defend women's rights and wrongs things, right? But I think a lot of people love Angie even more and they're still pissed about what happened with Angie, even though they're the one conversation they had, Mika said, It's like I've been telling you when she said about Simba. Marissa Castillo: Right. Gillian Griffin: So there were clearly unaired conversations between them about Simba. So the producers did her dirty in that right, 'cause it made it look like she didn't care about Angelus' feelings at at all, at all. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Well, that's not right and I don't like that for her. I will say Mika and Samrash are going home. Gillian Griffin: Neither. That's what I think. Cause I don't think Lorenzo's gotta let Fitzy and Lola go home. I know Yulia is gonna be like, I would rather die. I'd rather us walk out of this villa than send Martha home, my girl. Which otherwise, and again, this is why it's Friends Island. Cause otherwise, Martha and Jordan would be on a plane to Heathrow right now. They would literally be on a plane. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Exactly. Gillian Griffin: To Heathrow, they would be done. If it wasn't for the fact that Yulia was in the top, anyone else in the entire villa would have sent them home in a literal heartbeat. Marissa Castillo: Just f*** Gillian Griffin: Yeah. I think maybe Lorenzo could surprise us and be like, Fitsi and Lola really found what they've been coming for what they came here for. They've had what they came here for. They're not gonna explore at all. Period. The end. Something could potentially happen for Sam Roger and Mika, but they don't really seem like they're gonna explore, but they could use more time in here. Fitzy and Lola are literally talking about marriage. They don't need to be here anymore. Marissa Castillo: you Say don't and... Gillian Griffin: It just depends on if he's who he's closer to, because it's literally gonna be her going, I'm not sending Martha home, and then him have to go, which of my friends is most important to me. Lorenzo's gonna cry again. Our poor boy. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, it also sort of looks bad because it's supposed to be a joint decision. So if they send Lola and Fitz home, it just looks like personal vendetta has been fulfilled, essentially. You know what saying? Because Julia... Gillian Griffin: Here's the thing though, they're in the bottom. Whose fault is that? Yulia's. And their own. They were trending towards the bottom. Well, I just think it's interesting that Lola knew she wasn't liked and still has been like, I'm gonna I'm gonna double down on being a little nut so. Poor thing. Marissa Castillo: their own. gonna say, but. Gillian Griffin: But yeah, you you heard the forecast from us here first, maybe, or on Twitter last night, but Sam Rajamika probably going home. If it's not them, it might be Lolan Fitzy. Would literally be the shock of all shocks if Yulia let Martha go home. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. No, I think Martha's safe. I think it would be more shocking if they sent Lola and Fitz home. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: But they're already winners, like they found each other, they found what they came for. Gillian Griffin: That's what I'm saying. They've been locked off. They've been in love s since four weeks ago. Literally. I'm just like, they could go home and be and be totally fine. Like, they should want to get out of there already. They should want to be done with the test. They should want to just go ahead and do life. Like, they've been on there for six weeks. They're gonna have brand sponsorships and whatever and make money. Like, they don't really need the 50k. Marissa Castillo: Send them home. Speaking of brand sponsorships, do we think that coffee that Lorenzo made for Julio? Gillian Griffin: Yes? Coffee and I was like, was it real or was it a fucking commercial? Is this the Truman show? Marissa Castillo: Right. Because I was like, I literally wrote, you know, he was a hand model. So was it just Was it just so that they can use his hand modeling skills, Nescafe, for their own benefit? You know, it just, and it felt very staged. Gillian Griffin: Didn't it? But yeah. And that's the tea. Marissa Castillo: And that's the tea. I'm glad I remembered to bring that up. Gillian Griffin: Me too, because I I don't know how that didn't make it into my notes, but I was liter no no, it is there. I said, Did he make coffee because he wanted to or because it was an ad, skull emoji? also, if Sam was in that villa, if Sam was still in that villa, he wouldn't have stood for any of this fucking nonsense. I miss Sam so much. He wouldn't have stood for the Casa Morbus shit, he wouldn't have stood for movie night, he wouldn't have stood for he would have been like, you're hurting Ellie's feelings. Marissa Castillo: Truly. especially that. Bring Sam for All-Stars! Gillian Griffin: Yes! Such a just a good egg! Okay. thank you for listening. There's only two more weeks of this madness left. We'll see how it goes. jump in the comments if you've got stuff, you know, get in the comments on Spotify, drop a review on Apple, tell us what you're thinking. Marissa Castillo: and find him somebody decent, please. Gillian Griffin: But if you would like to get in contact with us other ways, Mimi, how can you reach us?

And if you feel like following us on X, Twitter, it is at capital L-I Tea Time Pod. Gillian Griffin: yes. I was being really goopy for anyone that was watching the video.

This has been a blast so far. We can't believe it's already been most of the show. but yeah, you will hear from us again on Monday. And until then, Marissa Castillo: Wait, wait, sorry, I'm sorry. What was the person's name that made us crack up yesterday? Gillian Griffin: Sally? Marissa Castillo: Sally, thank you so much. You understand me, I just want to make a quick shout out to you. We were laughing so hard yesterday because of you, truly. Gillian Griffin: Actually actual real tears streaming down my face. Just Marissa Castillo: Yes, both of our faces just... Gillian Griffin: For context for anyone else who has held on this long, it'll be a miracle if Sally's even hearing this. I said, whatever's clever, Trevor, or something, yesterday. And then Mimi's response was, What if my name was Trevor? Which was the last thing I was expecting her to say. And Sally was like, I also was like, Yeah, what if her name was Trevor? Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: What if my name was Trevor? And then she's like, and I also have ADD. And we were like, go off, neurodivergent queen. I got it. But also, we were just laughing so hard that someone else was like, Yes, I I understand that thought. So thank you if you are listening. Thank you to anyone who listened to an extra tangential story as we were trying to say goodbye. Marissa Castillo: Yes, I'd to see it. Yeah, sorry. Gillian Griffin: And thank you for listening in general. You'll hear from us on Monday. And until then, bye. Marissa Castillo: Bye!
