Gillian Griffin: Hi, I'm Gigi. Marissa Castillo: And I'm Mimi. Gillian Griffin: And this is Love Island Tea Time. Yeah, baby. It is... It is exactly 7am. We're late. We're late recording, but it's fine, I think. Maybe it's not fine. Sorry. Just can't get all crying over spilt milk. We just record. Marissa Castillo: Love and love you guys! Hyping hot tea edition. Sorry about that. Truly. Gillian Griffin: and we proceed as best as possible. Marissa Castillo: I do have an explanation though as to why we're It's my fault guys. It is hot. I'm dog sitting. I'm not getting any sleep right now. And I am sun dazed. Cause I've been in the sun for the last two days. And if you don't live in the U S and if you don't live in Chicago specifically, then you don't know that it's been like a hundred degrees and the UV has been like eight. Gillian Griffin: hot. Eight. Out of what? Marissa Castillo: And yes, don't know. My sister told me the UV was 8 and that it was high and that's why we feel like dying. Gillian Griffin: Your sister is 15 years old. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: You're gonna listen to her? Marissa Castillo: Yes. Gillian Griffin: Okay. Well, anyone in the UK would know because this hit them like a week or so ago, like it's been traveling, I think. It was really hot over there. Now it's over here. Marissa Castillo: This Yeah, I'm not having a good time. Gillian Griffin: But now you get to talk about Love Island. Love Island. Marissa Castillo: They're pissing me off. Gillian Griffin: Who's pissing you off? duh, the show. Marissa Castillo: Perfect. Gillian Griffin: I'm curious who's pissing you off, because it's for me, this little trio of mean girls we got going. Marissa Castillo: Yes, it's the trio of mean girls that are pissing me off. Gillian Griffin: Like, listen, Priya's also pissing me off, but she told Ethan to his face. She's been telling Ethan to his face. And then, one in, one out. That's terrible. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever it was they said. I can't even be bothered remembering. Like, hello? She cut it off with him and then asked Aiden to talk to her like normal people do in the villa. And they were like, they think they're the main characters and that we're all side characters. And I was like, Marissa Castillo: No sh- Gillian Griffin: I got bad news for y'all. When you come out, you will realize, which you may be coming out already, you will realize that maybe, just maybe, you were the side characters, babes. Marissa Castillo: I, here's my thing. I'ma give it to ya because I was writing furiously, typing away as I was watching this episode. Gillian Griffin: Mm-mm. Marissa Castillo: Priya has been honest with Ethan the whole time. She literally in bed was like, I would have chosen Aiden. It's Ethan's choice at that point to continue to lay it on her and to do nice gestures for her. That's out of her control. He did suggest pulling away and she said, I think that would be for the best because I've, like I've said before, my head and my heart are with Aiden. Then Ethan says, Gillian Griffin: Right. Marissa Castillo: Well, should you go have a chat with Aiden then? And then she pulls Aiden for a chat. So they're just observers in the peanut gallery and their observations are incorrect because they also don't know the conversations that have transpired between her and Ethan and her and Aiden. And I have one argument to make for the Priya and Aiden coupling that everyone has a problem with. Gillian Griffin: Right. Marissa Castillo: And it's this argument and this is the only benefit of the doubt that I'll give them because everyone hates them. Is that everyone brings up the fact that Aiden and Casa Moore didn't talk about her whatsoever. But we have to consider the fact that they had just coupled up and then he went to Casa. So they didn't get to explore the connection in a way that I thought was fair. Perhaps if they did get to explore the connection, they would still be in the same position. I don't know. Gillian Griffin: Right. No. Marissa Castillo: That's the only thing that I can say for them. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, I just know you're in a bad place when you have me anywhere near defending Aiden. If you have me defeating, whoa, defeating, defending Aiden from Kent, who is terrible, terrible, girls, can we talk? Marissa Castillo: Yes! Gillian Griffin: Can we talk? Just like, I'm so mad, because I started to down the defense of Aiden and I was like, how dare she? Marissa Castillo: Yes. Gillian Griffin: How dare she? Listen, I don't fully like that going to the hideaway was just a lick back on Alicia because Alicia said all this shit. Ada went and cut it off with her. It's like, come on, come on. And then. Marissa Castillo: just Gillian Griffin: Huh. Marissa Castillo: I was just going to say, just be realistic about your position in the villa. She was all pissy. Her, Martha, and Yulia were all pissy about like, we tests? Yes, you were. You were from Casa Amor, you're a test. You come in this late to the villa as a bombshell, you're a test. Sorry. Gillian Griffin: Yes, everyone with half a brain cell knows that the last two bombshells are in the worst position. The chances that they are able to couple up with someone and it work. and make it to the finale and even maybe touch the money. Are slim to none. Please calm down babes. Just calm down. Like, why haven't you talked to Jordan this whole time? Martha's told you to your face that she doesn't give a shit about him. So why don't you go talk to Jordan? Hello? Just relax. Marissa Castillo: Right, I just, I don't understand this hatred with the, I understand like they think it's bullshit and whatever the case. At this point, we can't throw discrepancies. They seem very ten toes down for each other. I'm just gonna take it for what it is, even though I might not like it either. But what I'm not gonna do is run around and be like, they're a scam ship, they're bullshit, their connection is bullshit. Gillian Griffin: Mm. especially when I live in the house with them. Marissa Castillo: Especially when they're looking at me straight to my eye and saying I'm for Priya and I'm for Aiden. I don't know how many times people like want to change their minds. We can't. You can't. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Marissa Castillo: It's just weird. People are allowed to change their minds, especially with Aiden, because, you know, Alicia's like, I can't believe it. He was telling me he would like to kiss me in bed, but he's not going to, and this and this and that. Gillian Griffin: Aiden would like to kiss anything with a heartbeat. It has nothing to do with anything. You shouldn't take that as the big ol' meaningful thing that you're taking as, babe. He would kiss anything with a heartbeat. He begs his brother for a kiss in this episode. Come on. Marissa Castillo: Truly. She's just... She's truly rubbing me the wrong way. She's talking a lot of shit about people she's only known for 30 seconds. Gillian Griffin: Really? Also, there was a repost. There's an article out there about some stuff her dad said. And he's nasty too. Marissa Castillo: well, apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Gillian Griffin: Here we go, the son. Unhappy dad. Love Island bombshell Alicia's dad slams Finley and Ellie in a astonishing explosive expletive ridden tirade. He gets on camera. This man. Why is he opening his mouth? He gets on camera. He angrily pointed at Finley and called him a Welsh. I don't even know what this word could possibly be. There are so many asterisks. asterisks. Like, 10 asterisks are. I assume it's a slur to Welsh people. Then he also talks about Ellie. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: What is 24 hours in A &E? He said, yeah, you're dead in it, you sheep. I assume shagging Welsh. The same word again, in blah blah blah blah blah are. He pointed to his daughter on the telly and said, you tell him that. Let's hear, you're mad. No, I don't want you with, again, something something sheep shagger anyway. Then he turns on Ellie and he said, don't even go near that Scottish bitch. And then kept going, fucking say to him, yeah, fuck him. Yeah, he's an Ilsh, a Welsh slur, slur, sheep shagger slur. Marissa Castillo: understand any of what that was. Gillian Griffin: Me either and that's the only reason why I'm laughing because this man is heinous. I'm laughing because I don't even know what he's saying and I'm like, dude, in what way do you think as an old white man you can go on the internet in video form shouting the house down? Girl. Go collect your dad immediately. Immediately. Marissa Castillo: immediately. Gillian Griffin: But yeah, come on, babes, the worst, just the worst. Marissa Castillo: Aye. I'd be so embarrassed. honestly would disown my father if he did that to me. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, crazy. So like you said, the apple doesn't far from the tree. I'm gonna go off camera for just a second because for some reason my notes aren't syncing to my stupid laptop and I have so many notes. Marissa Castillo: that's okay. I also do too. Gillian Griffin: It's... this has been crazy. It's been a crazy episode. I enjoyed it. I saw people on Twitter saying it was boring and I'm like, are you awake for the episode? Marissa Castillo: No, for real. Gillian Griffin: There we go, I got it. Also, Alicia not bothering to talk to Priya or she did eventually, but her being like, I'm going to bed. I'm going to get ready for bed. Yeah, I can see that. I have two eyes and we live in the Love Island Villa. I know what you're going to do right now. We're all going to bed. Marissa Castillo: Freya? Right, mean, Priya still makes it a point to chat to her in the dressing room and she's just like, I just don't understand why you guys are being so aggressive or like, I don't know, you know? this whole I'm entitled to my opinion argument, yes, you are, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion, but also shut up and like, your opinion doesn't need to be shared all the time. Gillian Griffin: Also shut up. Marissa Castillo: Sometimes you just gotta keep it to yourself or share it with your girlies, but like don't share it with the people that are... that you're actually talking about. Because I just felt like the first like what 15, 20 minutes of the episode was these three girls just shitting on Aiden and Priya's connection. And again... Gillian Griffin: Yeah, and then Alicia for another 10 minutes by herself. I respect Ethan a lot for... I think he spoke respectfully in general. He was like, because he literally at one point looked at Alicia and went, I don't care. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: She can do what she wants and needs to do, I don't care. Marissa Castillo: My thing is, the only thing that he said that made me feel a little bit like you do care was that he said it was a cop out. The whole argument of, I can't remember who said it, I think it was Alicia who said, Priya's just with Aiden because he's a safe option. But for me, wouldn't Ethan be the safer option because, wouldn't Ethan be the safer option since he's literally. Gillian Griffin: Could have been Julia too. Marissa Castillo: 100 % for Priya and Aiden has been so wishy-washy this entire season. Gillian Griffin: can't wait until we get to the game that they played. I cannot wait. Because I got words for Priya on that too. Um. Yeah. It's like, listen. People have come out and said, like Lola and Fitzy I think said that they've seen it and they get it. I don't know how much anyone wants to trust Lola and Fitzy, but fine. And then... Marissa Castillo: I just don't understand. Gillian Griffin: man, was I gonna say? Someone else said something and like there are people that are going, no we can see it's romantic. Let them have, whether it's fake or not, whatever. They're not touching the final, it's fine. Let them, let them play around in each other's faces. Like, I don't, I don't care. I think whatever it is that's going on with Aiden, he's very intent on it because he wouldn't even kiss Alicia when he wanted to and he kisses everything, so. Marissa Castillo: I trust them. Mm-hmm. Exactly. Gillian Griffin: Whatever's going on. He's laser focused, so let him be laser focused for once. Marissa Castillo: Right, let's just appreciate a changed man if he's changed and let Priya find out the hard way if she made the right decision or not. That's her choice. Can we also just quickly touch upon the fact that Julia called Ethan sexy? Gillian Griffin: Yeah, I don't know. lot of people on the Internet think that Yulia and Lorenzo are not a real match or a real thing. Marissa Castillo: I go back and forth on it. think he's way too chill about the things that she does sometimes, which bothers me. and Gillian Griffin: Wait, say that again? Apologies to everyone listening to the pod who clearly heard what she just said. Marissa Castillo: I said I think I go back and forth about it I think he's too chill about some of the things that he does I Mean some of the things that she does Never mind. Gillian Griffin: so sorry. Marissa Castillo: I don't have the patience. Gillian Griffin: So sorry. distracted by my notes again and read them at the same time you were talking so my ear stopped. Marissa Castillo: You might want to edit that part out. Gillian Griffin: I think it's funny. Write in, tell me if I should have edited that out. my god. Okay, so... Oh! Now it's time to talk about Mika... twerking on Aiden. Marissa Castillo: Lord. I wanted to hit Samrash in the face. Gillian Griffin: so glad he got a grip by the time she got to bed. Because I was like, what are you talking about? I can't tell if he said that she cooked him or cucked him because of his accent, but either way, go fuck yourself. And she was like, that's how we do in Barbados. And I'm like, obviously that's where she's from. My girl's going to throw it back. And it was Aiden, I think you're safe. It's not like she did it on the new bombshell 25 seconds after he got there. Marissa Castillo: Truly. Gillian Griffin: And he goes, imagine her in a club when I'm not there. Marissa Castillo: Are you okay? Gillian Griffin: And then, Kevin. If Jasmine did that, I'd be pissed. Yeah, we know. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, we know. She can't have any fun. She can't have any personality. We get it. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, she's up your butt now and around the corner retiring her bad bitch era. And some of us are sad to see it. I don't know. People are like, he's changed, too. And I'm like, not as much as she's changed. Marissa Castillo: No. Gillian Griffin: He's defending the girls now. huh. Okay. When everyone else... Ugh. I miss her. Marissa Castillo: she's changed for the worst. He's maybe changed for the better-ish. Gillian Griffin: People are like, well she also realized that there's another bad bitch in the villa who won't just follow her around, Yulia. And I'm just like, god. People hate Jasmine so much I don't even understand. Marissa Castillo: I know, and I feel like she's gonna get so much hate for that one comment she made the entire show of being like, that's so T I wish I could hear. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, I wish I was turned that way. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Some people like gossip, they live in a house where they don't have TV or books or music or anything except for each other. It's designed that way. Like, come on. I would also be like, ooh, I wish I was living that combo. Marissa Castillo: it. I mean, it's okay when Yulia gets involved with drama, but it's not okay when... Right, right, it finds her. It's not okay for Jasmine. Gillian Griffin: don't know what it finds her Marissa. It finds her. Marissa Castillo: It's weird. You guys, sometimes your logic is weird. And I love y'all, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, it, Marissa Castillo: Sit out right now. Gillian Griffin: I don't think the people that love that logic are listening. I think they've turned the pot off. Marissa Castillo: Okay. That's good. That's okay. I'm okay with that. Gillian Griffin: Hopefully... If there are any Jasmine haters still listening, thanks for bearing with us, I guess. You know, like, listen. Mad props to be able to listen to both sides, because it's important. It is important. And even if you still walk away from our pod still hating her, alright then. Alright. But if we change your mind, I like that. Um... Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Do you like that they included Jordan being like, I've woken up with this feeling and I know this feeling and when I have this feeling, bad stuff happens. He a witch. Marissa Castillo: Yes. He's a, he's a wizard, Harry. No, it's the same thing happened with Corbin. Remember when he was just like, I just want to be in a big bed, blah, blah, blah. And then he like, that challenge happened. Gillian Griffin: Took the words out of my brain. Oh yeah, ridiculous. I was sent, because I didn't notice this until after they got to this little festival after they danced the DJ and drank poppies and they showed Simba and Angie and Mika and Samraj sitting talking. And I look behind them and I can see the entrance to the villa. I was dying. Marissa Castillo: absurd. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: because I'm so used to this being at that one beach club that they take them to where you can like see the water and it's like a separate place. I just didn't clock where they were because of all the props around and then when I saw that they literally just took that out the front of the house. Marissa Castillo: Well, I don't know, because even Maya said, how does it feel being out of the villa? So maybe they just came back to the villa and they had that after party reception type thing. Gillian Griffin: And then they set up all of the same props again? Marissa Castillo: You don't know? Are you on production? Gillian Griffin: Someone on production tell us, because I'm pretty sure now that they were just out the front of the villa the whole time. They're out of the villa, technically. That is technically out of the villa. It's out front of the villa. Marissa Castillo: I don't know. think they were, I want to believe that they were out of the villa and then they came back and had their discussions because they, next episode, they're all at the fire pit like so quickly. Gillian Griffin: That's what I'm saying. I don't think they ever left. Marissa Castillo: I'm gonna believe what I wanna believe. Gillian Griffin: You go watch it back and we'll talk about it tomorrow. So the producers came up with this diabolical game that had people tweeting that Maya Jamma was Regina Jorah standing in the middle of the high school after she printed out all those pages from the burn book. Marissa Castillo: That's sure. Gillian Griffin: And I love how they explain the game, but they totally mess out the part that people get to guess who said it. like at all. Because then they started guessing and I was like, wait a second, wait a second, you just told these people they would remain anonymous. Oh, and so you made a chart and you made a chart about this insane game. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. and I surely did. Look at it. Look how beautiful it is. Gillian Griffin: Wow, I see a lot of pixelated lines, but it looks really pretty. I can tell you worked hard. Marissa Castillo: I did, I was like, how many columns do I need? How many rows do I need? I was like that jiff with the lady in the math in the background. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. What are even the extra... I just wrote a list. I just said so and so and so and so, pulled this and then wrote who they picked. What are your columns and rows? I don't understand. Marissa Castillo: the couple that was the couple that had to choose the other couple. like, who chooses the statement, what the statement is, which person or couple they put it to, what guess that couple made, yeah, and then whether or not the guess was correct or incorrect. Gillian Griffin: And then whether to get a guest. Oh, okay. Okay. It's wild how bad they were at this game. Marissa Castillo: So bad. Gillian Griffin: Wild. My favorite though was I guess it wasn't my favorite. Made me mad as hell. I'm gonna skip down a little bit just because this is the only one that was correctly guessed. Aiden and Alicia read out that statement and before he could even take another breath I was like he's gonna say Jasmine and and Cav. Like immediately I was just like he's gonna say it and then even later when Cav was like Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I felt the same. Gillian Griffin: Why do you think it's him? Why do you think it's him? And I could just, and she was just staring at Aiden. I was like, because she knows your brother hates her. She knows, and she's been so nice to him the last couple of days, giving him advice about Priya and whatever. And it's just like. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Come on! Marissa Castillo: It was obvious. Gillian Griffin: He's like, my brother wouldn't do me like that. I thought he wouldn't do me like that. And also, to be fair though, if I was gonna put it to anyone, it would have been Aiden and Alicia, obviously. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: But I do think that Kevin Jazz were the next down. What do you think? Marissa Castillo: Would I have picked Kavin and Jasmine? Gillian Griffin: Listen, I think you also would have picked Aiden and Alicia because they do literally bring out the worst in each other. Marissa Castillo: Yes, but I also would have picked Kevin and Jasmine. Gillian Griffin: Okay, you would have, okay. Marissa Castillo: I would have just because she, when I think of bringing out the worst, I think of acting in a completely opposite way than I would normally. And I don't believe she's the best version of herself right now. Gillian Griffin: Hmm fair fairs i don't know i don't know i don't know Marissa Castillo: Not in a toxic way. That's not what I was thinking. was more like, because they're in a couple, they've had so many personality changes and not in the best way. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. Okay, fair enough, fair enough. back to the correct order of the game. The first to pick were Priya and Ethan, right? Marissa Castillo: Yes. Keep talking, I have to check on the dogs. I can still hear you. Gillian Griffin: my goodness. Okay. Well, this is an easy one to talk about because it's not a surprise on any side. They got hot but no substance or good commas. it said, like, this couple looks good together, but there's no substance or conversation. Martha and Jordan. I also said Martha and Jordan. I think maybe I actually might have said somebody else, but Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah, me too. Gillian Griffin: When they picked them I was like, yeah, it makes sense. There's not anything going on between them. And then... Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Good for Ethan because he piped up immediately when Maya Jam was like, you can reveal which statement you did, by the way, if you want, at the end of the game. And Ethan was the first one. He was so quick. He said, I said it. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: I'm almost like, whoa. Okay. Marissa Castillo: Well, yeah, and then Priya was like, well, you we had, we were talking the wherever we were and you had mentioned that things have kind of fizzled out. And Martha was like, that's fair. Like there was no harm done there. They both knew what it was. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Boy, did they, should we go ahead and talk about the conversation they had, the awkward ass conversation? Marissa Castillo: So awkward. I guess couldn't tell if either of them was into each other. I mean, no shit. You guys don't spend any time with each other during the day. Which explains why we don't see them because they don't chat to each other during the day. And Jordan is just like... Gillian Griffin: feel like I only see them together in the kitchen. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, Jordan is like, it's a friendship couple. Gillian Griffin: Why did she say she went a friendship couple? Cool. Marissa Castillo: Friendship... Friendship Ting. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, cool. And then they let so much silence linger and Jordan went... Marissa Castillo: Cool. I could do without him. Gillian Griffin: I was dying. they're going home, girl. They're going home. There's no way they're surviving the stumping. There's no way. They're bottom, for sure. Marissa Castillo: I don't, I think people will keep Martha. Gillian Griffin: Will they? I don't see anyone talking about Martha besides that they don't like her in this Mean Girl group. Marissa Castillo: well, that's good. I think Martha should just date a woman. Gillian Griffin: Well, that's Twitter. Go, go make out with Yulia. Marissa Castillo: Truly. Gillian Griffin: Ummmm So then Lorenza and Yulia pulled, who's giving desperate? And I was like, Alicia. Marissa Castillo: I said Alicia immediately. And. Gillian Griffin: Everyone was like, girl, you cannot talk. You literally pulled two boys into the hideaway. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: and then play truth or dare and we're licking them and all this like it's a certain kind of energy babe. Marissa Castillo: think she sort of owned up to it. She said she could understand why. So Lorenzo wanted to pick Alicia, but Yulia wanted to pick Priya. Somehow he won the rock, paper, scissors, but I thought he lost and then changed his thing to scissors at the last minute so he could win. I don't know. Gillian Griffin: Surprise, surprise. Yeah, I also thought he threw rock and then the second viewing I saw that it was scissors and I was like, okay. At first I was really concerned for them. I was like, how did they think that he won when he did rock? But I just saw it was a weird angle. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yeah, which good choice. They guessed it was Kevin and Jasmine. Not correct. Gillian Griffin: loved that she was like, I think it's Kavin because he's giving me eye contact. And she went, I'm giving you eye contact because everyone is talking about you right now. You are the topic of the statement. Sometimes he eats. Like, I can't lie. Every once in while he throws out a line. I'm like, okay, Kevin. Fine. Then it was him and Jasmine's turn. Actually, they pulled one half of this couple secretly bored but too polite to admit it. I was the same as Jasmine. I was the same as her in that moment. I went, huh? Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes. She's like, I always ask him for tea and he never gives it to me. This is tea. moment I felt like, okay, they're kind of cute. That was the only moment I had where I was in support of Kevin and Jasmine. Gillian Griffin: Not when they were sitting in each other's lap in the pool chairs and her feet were over his shoulders and she was sitting backwards in his lap, laying down on the pool chair with their legs up. Marissa Castillo: Mm-mm. No. Get off that young man. Gillian Griffin: They re- They're really obsessed with each other. my god. I remember what I wanted to tell you. I was like, I something crazy I saw on TikTok, something crazy I saw on TikTok. You're going to lose your mind because this is even more out of context because this isn't the Love Island villa where you met somebody, right? Also, let me check how old... Sorry, I'm filling the space. I'm filling the space. Marissa Castillo: no. Gillian Griffin: filling the space. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I don't know what's happening here. This came as a surprise to me, everybody. Not sure. Gillian Griffin: This is off topic Love Island news. Listen. Marissa Castillo: Okay. Get it out! What is it? Gillian Griffin: from All Stars in season 5. is dating a 19 year old. Marissa Castillo: You're lying to me right now. Gillian Griffin: She is 28. Marissa Castillo: You're lying to me. Gillian Griffin: I'm not lying to you. I stumbled across a tweet that was like, what is wrong with her? And she's in a bunch of TikToks with this 19 year old dancing all up on him. And he looks 16. He's 19, but he looks like a actual child. Marissa Castillo: Listen, all I gotta say is Scott, you dodged a big, big, big bullet. And Sean, you did too. You just... Gillian Griffin: I don't know what she's doing. Marissa Castillo: Everyone... I don't know either. At first, she's one of those. And sorry that this is so off topic, guys, but kind of still on topic. Gillian Griffin: But if you are Love Island Stan and you're here for that reason, you needed to know that because you never would have looked up Belle. I was so deep into Twitter last night. It would have been so random to come across. If you already know, then you already know. And how come you didn't tell us? But otherwise, breaking news. You never give me any. Marissa Castillo: was going you guys for tea. Gillian Griffin: Come on, if you're real sans, you wanted to know that Belle from the last All Stars and season five is dating a 19 year old. Marissa Castillo: Jesus. I think she needs to get exercised. She's got some diamonds. Gillian Griffin: Yes. Sage all day. Marissa Castillo: Okay, back to the topic at hand. Gillian Griffin: Yes. Finn. combo cuz Why? Marissa Castillo: I don't think Ellie is bored. Gillian Griffin: No, Ellie's not bored. They knew it was Finn. but my God, I lost my. OK. then Finn with this being. sorry. Actually, this was later on. Because Finn and Ellie got two cards, but they were both just about friendly. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: But yeah, Ellie was like, I don't know how anyone can be bored with me. And I was like, same girl. But maybe Finn just gets bored after he has sex with women and she's a fucking problem. Because they exist. They're out there. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. It's true. It is true. Gillian Griffin: Simba and Angie pulled this couple are only together for the 50k and gave it to Sam Raj and Mika. Later they were like, we didn't think of it that way. How could you think of it as any way other than saying that their connection isn't real? Marissa Castillo: That's how I took it as, but they tried to explain that I guess that they were considering their lifestyles and how they live and stuff like that. Gillian Griffin: And that Mika is always talking about Drake. Marissa Castillo: That's such a 21 year old thing to do. I really love her. I really love her. When I was 21, that's what I was like. Gillian Griffin: Symbol what? And he was... Semba was going so hard on the acting. that's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, but it's just a game and Angie went it's not just a game Yeah, but it's not even worth it to worry about it. Marissa Castillo: That's how you know. Simba would be, Simba's a horrible liar. He'd lose that poker. Gillian Griffin: Terrible. Truly. I can't believe that Mika didn't clock it immediately, that he was talking so much. Marissa Castillo: I know, too much. Just simmer down. Shut up. Gillian Griffin: Fully, And then the one we were talking about, Aiden and Alicia pulled worse than each other, brought up Kevin. I do think it's wild that Jasmine was like, I don't agree at all. I would be like, girl, come on, have some self-awareness. Be like, maybe we did a little bit. I can see where you extrapolated from at least. Come on, girls. Marissa Castillo: Yes, well her argument was, the statement says brings as in current, not brought as in the past. So that's why she was upset. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, but like I think I find it as an overall statement overall who brings out the worst in each other and I think that of anyone they did he made her rage and she made him rage. my God. I remember the other piece of news. I'll bring it up. No, I'll bring it up when it's relevant because it's relevant to this. Marissa Castillo: Me too. Mm-hmm. Save it for the end. Okay. Okay. Gillian Griffin: Um, Yasmin and Tommy picked who's with a walking red flag and immediately talked about Lorenzo. And Yasmin went, no, I don't think so. I was like, girl. Marissa Castillo: Well, Tommy. Yeah, Tommy went, I think it's Lorenzo. Yasmin went, no, I don't think so. I think she was just trying to be nice. But I do think Finley is, no, if I had to pick one boy for like Red Flag or even a girl, it would have been Simba to be honest or Aiden. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Fair enough, fair enough. I did love how Aiden was so self-aware that he went, I don't know how I avoided that one. Marissa Castillo: And then even Alicia was like, right? Like, that's weird. And then Priya got all pissy of like... Gillian Griffin: And then Priya was like, how, why is he a red flag? Babe, you've been in the house with him for so long. You know, don't play dumb. And she was annoying me that time for real, especially when, cause she was coming back at Alicia aggressive about it. And then Alicia was getting aggressive back. And then she went, I don't know why you're getting so aggressive. I didn't even do anything. I'm just asking. Like by the end of it. And I was like, Priya, I swear to God, I swear to God, she's... Marissa Castillo: You know. My god. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Like, she's on such a thin line and I saw people saying like, I didn't like Priya and then I started liking her because I felt bad and then now I remember why I didn't like Priya. So Priya, just come on. It's a bad sign. It's a bad sign if you only like someone if they're the victim in a situation. And as soon as they feel on top, you're not into them anymore. Because she is... And someone also tweeted... I read so many tweets last night. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: that Samrosh had said something a while ago about Priya rubbing her connections in other people's faces and I'm like, well... Here we are again. Marissa Castillo: It's Priya, so... She's who she is. Gillian Griffin: all right, it's all right. Then Finley went and was like, I'm gonna call out Kavett and I'm gonna call out Simba. And I was like, fair enough, but also come on, dog. Marissa Castillo: hate this whole thing where people still bring up what happened at CASA. We're past it. Everyone should be past it. If your arguments are stemming from what happened at CASA, I'm past it. Gillian Griffin: Well, this is the other bit of news I have. There's an interview with Charlene and she claims that she and Clavin planned a trip to New York for Christmas together. Marissa Castillo: It's time for the real world. Okay. yeah. Yes, I did see that. I did see that. And I wasn't surprised. One bit. Gillian Griffin: He's like, I didn't lead her on. didn't this. I didn't just cast her to the side. Both of them going, we didn't toss them to the side. Yes, you did. You gave each girl about 24 to 36 hours and you were like, I'm done. You tossed them like whatever those ball things are that the trunchable throws. What are they? Shot puts? Yeah. Marissa Castillo: Need it. shot put. Gillian Griffin: spun around in a circle and threw them as far away as you could. Marissa Castillo: by their pigtails. you Gillian Griffin: Girl. Marissa Castillo: No, yeah, I believe it. Gillian Griffin: Ugh, I would have said Aiden though, he's a mess. Marissa Castillo: Truly. Gillian Griffin: Also apparently Aiden and Kevin had a threesome together or something. I missed if this was information that came out on the show or if this is information that came out separately, but it's giving White Lotus. Marissa Castillo: Did they? Well wasn't Kevin the one that said he had a threesome? During that fire pit challenge? When he was at CASA? Gillian Griffin: He did, but I feel... No, it wasn't at Casa because Jasmine was there. I remember Jasmine's face. I remember her going... But I don't recall him openly saying it was with Aiden because I feel like I would remember that. But I saw a couple of statements about that in the last couple weeks where... it wasn't saying that like they had a threesome together. was statements that were saying he's a brother effort. And I was like, what are they talking about? I was like, why are they saying this about him? And then finally I saw one that said that they had a threesome together and I'm like... Recently? Because he's only 21. Let's also point that out. So if it was any less recent, if it was less and less recently, I'd get more concerned. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I guess The Sun posted something around June 6 about how they made a joke about having a threesome together before the villa. I guess it was a joke. Quote unquote. Gillian Griffin: Okay! Okay! Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: Bye! And then that was, my god, that was all of the statements. That was way faster than I thought. Marissa Castillo: Well, we touched upon it already, but the most drama-obsessed one, you didn't mention it again. Mika and Samraash. Gillian Griffin: I skipped it, I'm sorry. Meek and Samaraj. Yeah. They picked the most sub-drama-assessed person in the villa. I feel like I skipped over this because it's so obvious. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. But then Lorenzo said that drama looks good on her. What I had said prior to and I have now patience to repeat myself for the third time. was that Lorenzo, are you listening? Stop laughing. Gillian Griffin: I I think if you took ADHD medication you'd be boring. That's what you get. Marissa Castillo: I'm I get upset because I think Lorenzo is too chill about the things that she does sometimes. That's what I said. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, but he also doesn't... To me, it gives him going, yeah, go off and do your thing. I'm not gonna be on your side about it, but you go play with the other kids. Try to throw less sand in people's eyes. That's what it gives to me. Marissa Castillo: I'd be so turned off. But that's just me. Lorenzo truly doesn't give a fuck. I just want to party with Lorenzo. Gillian Griffin: Do you? Yes. Marissa Castillo: Yes, I've seen all these videos of him on the internet, like rapping and at clubs and just like... He's such a vibe. Gillian Griffin: my god, okay. Fine. Wrapping wood at karaoke. He's about to get in trouble over here. Marissa Castillo: at karaoke. Gillian Griffin: yeah, but Yuli was like, the drama comes to me. And then Priya was like, Priya's making faces. And I was like, Priya, just calm down. Like, I know you have some of the high ground here, but like, you're gonna give away all your likeability if you keep being so Marissa Castillo: Get out of here. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Come, just simmer a little bit. Just simmer a little bit on it. You have the high ground. You don't have to be so, Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: we talked about Jordan and Martha's conversation, we talked about Angie and Simba and Mika and Samraj. how about when they put the triplets together? Marissa Castillo: What triplets? Cav and Aiden and Tommy? Gillian Griffin: The identical clones of each other, yes. Marissa Castillo: Yes! Wait a minute, that just blew my mind. They'll now be known as the triplets, yes. Because I was, didn't, I can't process. Gillian Griffin: Just now? feel like... I was looking at that conversation, I was like, where is Jasmine? I was like, she probably said she ripped AID in the new one. They were like, do you want to go? She was like, I'll kill him. I will kill him. Don't make me do that. Let Cav talk to him. Cav, you go talk to him. And Tommy was sitting there like... Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: looking around and then when he spoke up he like he owned his thing he was like and then Finn came over and I'm like go away Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: And I understand why Kevin was mad at him, but also upon reflection besides just watching the episode and being mad at Finley, I'm like, yeah, that's right, I'm supposed to be mad at Kevin too. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. You are! Gillian Griffin: Ugh. Men are the worst. Marissa Castillo: I mean. understand why the guys are upset with Finley, just the way that he handled the situation. Wasn't the best, but they also need to not forget that they were also in the same boat. Like have some grace. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. At least for them. The girls don't have to have any grace with any of you. With each other, you can't be acting like you haven't been begging each other up to do terrible things all season. Marissa Castillo: Either way. Yeah, either way. And there's no bad blood. Gillian Griffin: Nah. Then they let everyone dance again. But then they actually didn't let everyone dance again because then everyone was sitting where they were when they were having these conversations. And I was like, what in the editing? Marissa Castillo: the boys ever. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: And here comes Maya, looking fine as hell. She looks so good. She look good both times. Marissa Castillo: Truly This is my food that yeah, this was my favorite outfit on her thus far Gillian Griffin: Incredible. The white one gave that she saw Zendaya at the Odyssey premiere and said, I also want to wear white lace with cutouts. And then this new one just said, classy disco ball, body-oddy. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Yeah, candelabra. Gillian Griffin: I'm here to give bad news, but I can't look like it. Candelabra, I love you. And if anyone hasn't watched the first look already, could have been an email, could have been a tweet, could have been a comment, could have been a black screen. Huh? Marissa Castillo: I have not watched the first look. I have not watched the first look. Gillian Griffin: Don't bother! It could have been a black screen that said, there are two favorite island, there's a favorite boy and a favorite girl, and there are people in the bottom. Like, that's literally the entire clip, is Maya saying, the people in the bottom will be vulnerable. The favorite boy and favorite girl are like, nothing happens, and then there's everyone around the fire pit going, no, no, this is terrible, I feel sick, like, it's nothing. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, well we knew it was coming. Gillian Griffin: That's exactly what you expect. Yeah, a little waste of a first look. Marissa Castillo: and we know that four islanders get dumped. Gillian Griffin: Plus, okay, tune out if you haven't heard the news about somebody leaving voluntarily. You can stop listening for the rest of the episode. Okay? Are you gone? Did you turn it off? Hope you turned it off. Okay, everyone else who has heard the news, are you still here? Yes, we are talking about the fact that Ellie has self-evicted, most likely because Finn got dumped because he was in the bottom. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Right? Gillian Griffin: Which is unfortunate because she should have just left because she couldn't be bothered with that man. I'm just saying. Marissa Castillo: I agree. It's disheartening. I know a lot of people on the internet are already upset with her for doing that. Gillian Griffin: Also, what else would she have done? She's not gonna crack on with anyone else. It's just annoying that like, she wanted to leave because he was pissing her off, and we all wish she had just left because he was pissing her off. Because he sucks. Marissa Castillo: I know. Mm-hmm. It's just quote-unquote the wrong reason to be leaving the villa. Gillian Griffin: I she coupled up with Ethan, she got that 50K again. People like Ethan. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, yeah they do. Gillian Griffin: people like Ethan, she should have, if she was there for the money, she'd have coupled up with Ethan and everyone would have been like, good choice, here's money. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: man. Ellie. Or she could have rekindled her flame with Aiden. He dropped Pria like a hot rock. Marissa Castillo: He would. That he would, I firmly believe. Gillian Griffin: Absolutely, absolutely. But I'm gonna miss our girl, gone too soon. Marissa Castillo: Truly. Also, take a shot every time I say truly. Gillian Griffin: I'm sorry the cats are running so fast. I can't not laugh at that. Okay, continue, continue. I'm gonna live like this. Marissa Castillo: I don't have anything to say. Gillian Griffin: Yes you do, don't lie to me! Marissa Castillo: I don't. I think it's sad that she left. I hate that she left. I don't like Finley. I don't like her and Finley together. I hope that she wakes up and realizes what kind of a person that he is. I hope that she finds someone that's gonna treat her like a queen and puts her back in the soft girl era, but also in her bad bitch era, because you can be both. Gillian Griffin: you had nothing to say. Marissa Castillo: Why'd you take so long to respond? Gillian Griffin: being silly. I don't know. Marissa Castillo: If you want to know my opinion, let's see who else gets dumped. Gillian Griffin: Martha Jordan, Finley, and Alicia. Marissa Castillo: You think Alicia? Gillian Griffin: Nobody likes her. She doesn't have anything. She's tried it. Who else is gonna be in the bottom? Priya? Jasmine? There's not one other girl they're gonna send home. Mika? Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Not Mika. Don't talk about her that way. Gillian Griffin: Trust, I don't care who the third girl on the bottom is, they're gonna send Alicia or Martha home over the third girl in the bottom, whoever it is. Marissa Castillo: Okay. Yeah, they'll keep Rhea. Hopefully. But you said producers were mad at her, so I don't know. Gillian Griffin: For sure. Yeah, but she's entertaining. She's entertaining. I don't think Priya will be in the bottom bottom. I don't think enough people because that fight, that last fight between her and Yulia was the last thing before the vote. So there would have been people picking sides and making sure to vote for her. So I don't think Priya will touch the bottom. I think maybe Mika will be in the bottom again. Because she's still, for some reason, the most hated girl, even though she kicked Simba to the curb. said to Angie was the same as all the other conversations she had. She owned up to Priya and apologized. Somebody said Jasmine didn't apologize to Priya. They both apologized to Priya. don't know where you were when that scene happened. She apologized before bed. I don't understand why Mika is even more hated than Jasmine, to be fair. Marissa Castillo: I don't either. Why can't everyone just be nice? Gillian Griffin: Welcome to the real world. And that's the tea. Marissa Castillo: I'm not nice. Gillian Griffin: Hmm, dandelion. Marissa Castillo: I have lemon balm stress support because your girl is stressed. I don't know what's going on with this Mercury retrograde, but this like last little bit of it, it ends the 29th y'all. It is coming for my neck. It has literally grabbed my neck, choked me to the point of death. And then once I feel like I see the light, it releases me and I'm left to fend for myself. Gillian Griffin: E? God. Marissa Castillo: Did I sound like sincere? Gillian Griffin: Huh? Marissa Castillo: Nothing. Gillian Griffin: my god, apparently I gave fake news. Marissa Castillo: If you guys aren't watching, should see how annoyed I look right now. Gillian Griffin: Google AI says that Belle is just friends with this boy, but I don't know. Their TikToks are a rage bait for people who think they're dating. I'm just saying. Just saying. Says they just frequently collaborate, but that was not what the TikToks were giving.
