Gillian Griffin: Hi, I'm Gigi. And this is Love Island Tea Time. Woo! Delicious. Ooh, girl. This has had more drama and less drama than I was expecting from the first look. Slash the the thing. What am I talking about? no.

Marissa Castillo: Good night Mimi! Love on a tea time! Yes? Mm-hmm. the preview.

Gillian Griffin: Not the first look the the tomorrow night. Whew so sorry y'all.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Okay. She came in flustered. She came in hot.

Gillian Griffin: I did, I really did. So they started this episode with people dealing with what has happened after the recoupling. Priya's going on with give.

Marissa Castillo: the robbery.

Gillian Griffin: The stealing.

Marissa Castillo: Yes.

Gillian Griffin: first Priya's talking with Ethan. He wanted to kiss. I want Priya to focus on Ethan so bad.

Marissa Castillo: I thought Aiden and Alicia talked first.

Gillian Griffin: Did they I didn't care. I can't understand anything they're saying when they talk to each other.

Marissa Castillo: Really?

Gillian Griffin: right, 'cause Aiden was so salty he wasn't picked. That I have that second. Maybe I wrote that backwards, but he was salty as he wasn't picked. He was like, I don't know where this leaves me. And then she s he's she burst into tears.

Marissa Castillo: Literally, I said how did this man manage to make her feel like shit about her own decision and then still reassured her that at the end of the day he's still there, but he just needs to sleep on it because he's that dramatic and he just needs sleep on her decision.

Gillian Griffin: Aiden is on my last nerf. We said in our last episode that he is like Austin Powers. We got a message that was like Austin Powers is still more respectful than Aiden.

Marissa Castillo: Thanks. See that? I don't know if you sent me that or... Yeah, okay, well.

Gillian Griffin: It was on Instagram. It was on Instagram. But then then also he went to Ellie. He's like, we should we should just the the spark never went out, Ellie. And she was like, please.

Marissa Castillo: She literally was like, fuck off. Please.

Gillian Griffin: He was like, Come on, what's wrong with that? He's like, I'm kidding. I'm like, You're not kidding. You're dead serious. Then later he tried to hold her hand during the day and she and she pulled her hand out of his hand so fast she went, Your hands are sweaty and gross. And he was like, I'm sorry.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-mm. I know, she went, yeah.

Gillian Griffin: Ugh, he's such a beg. And like, again, he's so he's just so weird. Spoiler alert, Priya kisses Ethan on her date with him. Ethan is so kind. He wants the next person to be the one. Doesn't mean they will be, but he wants to settle down. He sounds so genuine about it. He's been so kind to Priya. He's so chill. He calls her babe already. He just

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. literally wrote that down too. I was like, my gosh, she's already starting with the pet names. Like, please, Priya, if you know what's good for you.

Gillian Griffin: cute. And she's like, I don't know, da da And then

Marissa Castillo: She said her head and her heart are with Aiden. Stop it! Stop that!

Gillian Griffin: Girl, come on. But then I like the way she was thinking in general. She's like, I have to think about who I want to finish this experience with at this point. Cause this is basically like there's probably another bomb bombshells coming, whatever, whatever. And she's like, So I need you to show me, like, I'm gonna be looking out for like what each of you do. And he's like, you want me to do more? And he's all like, I don't know what I think of you kissing him. And then he's like, But you know, if I was there, I probably would have done the same thing. And Priya went, Yeah, I know you would have.

Marissa Castillo: Mm Absolutely, and I wrote that down before she even went on her date when I don't even know when I got the indication but I was just I think he was just like talking about how it wouldn't sit well with him or it wouldn't make him feel good, but I literally was like

Gillian Griffin: you mean the like four times he said that?

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, but it was, but you would do the same. not, you would move even worse, to be fair.

Gillian Griffin: To be completely fair and you would have doubled down on like, what's the big deal? Of course I did it.

Marissa Castillo: Right, so the fact that he did say, I don't think you did anything wrong, props to him. I'll give him props where props are due. Because he's even though he's a complete menace, he's actually not that stupid. At least he can game recognizes game.

Gillian Griffin: he's just I wrote down like Aiden shut up Aiden you're annoying me Aiden drives me crazy so many times in my notes while I was watching because he really is so far under my skin and I can't wait for him to have had two girls and now have none. Once again.

Marissa Castillo: because that's what Ian said. Ian said that Aiden had two girls and now he has none. And Ethan had the best response because Aiden initially said, may the best man win. And then Priya said, well, I guess, you know, may the best man win. And he had the best response to her. What did he say?

Gillian Griffin: He did! Ethan?

Marissa Castillo: I'll lead the way, he can try and follow.

Gillian Griffin: And it's the truth. It's the truth. It's just the truth. He didn't even make her a coffee yesterday. You know, he made it for today's episode. And it's just like, come on, Aiden. And then she was like, Ethan's is better. And I was like, that's right, take it as a sign. Take it as a sign.

Marissa Castillo: Truly. Probably because Aiden just half-assed the whole thing and just was like, as long as I make her coffee, that's all that matters.

Gillian Griffin: As long as I make her a coffee first.

Marissa Castillo: Right, and the boys were trying to encourage Aiden to relax. You guys have been in a couple for, what, not even a week? And then she's in a new couple. You have to face those facts.

Gillian Griffin: Just live with it. And also, it's just like the double standards are wild because he he loves exploring. He loves making out with other people. He loves begging for a kiss. And then he's like, he's like, wait, it had just happened. She's already asking if she could permission to kiss him. And I'm like, at least she's asking permission or bringing up and discussing what she's gonna do instead of just going off and macking out with him instead of saying anything to you. Like, come on, dude.

Marissa Castillo: And mean, she truly didn't even have to do that because she wasn't even in a couple with him anymore. She's in a couple with Ethan. She owes you nothing. Literally nothing. And she's being really nice. And she's even communicating well with both of them.

Gillian Griffin: Exactly nothing. And you Yeah, and who was in the hideaway with the other bombshell getting his nipples licked and making out?

Marissa Castillo: Literally.

Gillian Griffin: Come on. He is a fool.

Marissa Castillo: It's just... He's too much. He's annoying. Foolish behavior.

Gillian Griffin: speaking of foolish Get Finley out of my villa. Get him out of there. What is wrong with him? And furthermore, every time I thought I might be starting to like Alicia, she made me hate her.

Marissa Castillo: It's the same thing that happened with me because... Sorry, I had to clear my throat, everyone. Please don't get upset. Because why was she trying to convince Finley so hard to pick her? In her own Alicia way, you were so mad when he finally doubled down and was like, I pick Ellie. And you're gonna go ahead and say, why don't you listen to your gut and stop listening to everyone else? You know there's something here and I think it would be, he ends up deading it. and think it would be too soon to dead it off. No, he's not going to.

Gillian Griffin: Not he. Like literally you know who do gro grow on me this episode? Yulia. like actually genuinely finally really gro growing on me. Maybe it's because Lola's finally out of the house. Who knows?

Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Well that was an appropriate time for Julia to be like, what are you doing?

Gillian Griffin: For real. And it's just like Finley is like just scrambling my entire head. I'm glad that Ellian and Alicia had their talk at the end of the night. And she's like, it's not you, it's him, it's always the guy. And I'm like, I don't know, girl, maybe it's a little bit her at this point. Like, not right in that moment in that conversation, but it's starting to become her.

Marissa Castillo: Yes.

Gillian Griffin: and then I was like, I'm so glad these girls aren't fighting. And then again later when he dead it off, I was like, I'm so glad these girls aren't fighting. And then she just kept doing weird little things. You know, they go on this date. He ends up being like, he says it a bunch of different ways, but finally he admits that he's like, I'm just going to be selfish and I'm going to and I decided I was going to be selfish on the date and I just kissed her. Like he finally admits what it really is. 'Cause he tried to say it a bunch of different ways, didn't he?

Marissa Castillo: Yes, he did. And eventually he owned it, which good for him, but also

Gillian Griffin: Took way too long.

Marissa Castillo: But also to bring up Ellie and Angelus's point, you set the boundary and now you're... Now you are like, actually, nevermind. Psych, I take it back. I owe it to myself.

Gillian Griffin: Him and Simba, man, like come on.

Marissa Castillo: I hate that argument. I hate that I owed it to myself. How about what you owe to your partner?

Gillian Griffin: It's a kiss. That's part of being in a partnership. You do owe them something.

Marissa Castillo: Exactly! Respect!

Gillian Griffin: Well like holy cannoli. And then also his game is so terrible. He got on the date and he went, I can't tell which is view is better, you or this mountain. The look on her face was truly like Did you just say that? Do you hear it? Cause I heard it.

Marissa Castillo: He doesn't hear shit. Anytime he laughs, it makes me cringe. I think he has worse game than Aiden. think Aiden has more game than he does.

Gillian Griffin: Actually really, it's just all coming to light. And he kisses her and then this is where Alicia started losing me is she gets into the house and she's talking about she's like, We did have a little kiss like a peck.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Understatement of the year.

Gillian Griffin: Hello, and then thank you to Yasmin and all the other girls for being like, what do you mean? And then finally, after she was asked like four times, she goes, Yeah, we had a snog. Yeah, you did.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, and I don't understand the hesitancy to not tell the truth when you had Priya there, who was actually finally moving like a girl's girl and being like, yes, I'm going on this date, but I'm also there to spy for you, Ellie.

Gillian Griffin: For real.

Marissa Castillo: So if Alicia wasn't gonna tell the truth, Priya was.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. And she's lucky that the other girls drew it out of her because Ellie would have been pissed at her if she f if she realized that she was like lying. I'm sure she still is kind of like, mm, but she she said it, but you know. And then after the Ellie looked so good, by the way, didn't she?

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. She did as she knew what she was doing.

Gillian Griffin: yeah, that dress and I hot.

Marissa Castillo: I love when she has her hair in a ponytail. The body was tea, she knew. And he even said, you look sexy. And she goes, I know.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. She's like dummy.

Marissa Castillo: Right, Just, ugh!

Gillian Griffin: And also the faces she was giving while he talked to her and was like, I'm I'm I thought he was gonna end it with Ellie. I was fully certain he was about to tell Ellie, it's her. And then he went, No, you're still my number one. You're still on my mind. I I just want you. And me and her both made the f same face.

Marissa Castillo: Literally like.

Gillian Griffin: What do you mean? How does that make sense?

Marissa Castillo: What? Did you not? Right, you go on a date, you kiss a girl, you say you owe it to yourself, you haven't spoken to me at all, you don't communicate, and you still want me? What?

Gillian Griffin: This is such a huge fumble. First of all, Ellie is awesome, top to bottom, beginning to end. So proud of her for every single time going and holding court in that dressing room instead of screaming her face off at him. Like she has fully earned. She has fully earned and it's eventually coming. It's eventually coming. Cause he keeps doing dumb shit. Like it's wild. It's wild. And she keeps holding together and she's and she told him she says she sa says, I go and lose it in private. 'Cause don't worry, I'm pissed off. But then I was still like, it's even though she said she's like, he's gonna have to grasp so hard, it still felt too easy for me.

Marissa Castillo: Truly. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It did feel too easy. wanted her to stand by her word and be like if he moved a certain way I'd be gone. Even though I would hate to see her go, she would be doing herself a great service if she left.

Gillian Griffin: She'd be respecting yourself. You know, and it's just like she doesn't want to sit around and watch that. Who would, to be honest. And then on top of that, it's just like

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm.

Gillian Griffin: I just thought she would at least be like, instead of just going, okay, you want me to you have to you're gonna have to work really hard now that you want me, I would have been like, I don't know if I want you. I'll get back to you about it later. We'll see how you act. And then I'll decide if I want you. You don't have me right now, FYI. You know what I mean? Like, I expected something more like that from her, or like, are you joking? Like you just can't like I expected her to like read him the Riot Act, you know what I mean?

Marissa Castillo: Like Jasmine did with Kevin. Mm-hmm. If anything, expected her to deaden off. Because she kept being like, I'm done, I'm done. So be done. I love you girl, but be done.

Gillian Griffin: And then I I really did. I th I think she might be I ho at this point I just hope she is. And I'm bless who who would have thought bless Lorenzo for continuing to go, do you want this to be your person when he treats you like this? Who would have thought? Lorenzo the only one.

Marissa Castillo: I know. Lorenzo? Lorenzo and Yulia, both are like heavy hitters.

Gillian Griffin: For real, and then he goes and deads it are you okay?

Marissa Castillo: I'm so sorry, hold on. That was so scary. I heard something.

Gillian Griffin: Is it haunted? Is it haunted podcast type?

Marissa Castillo: I'm a little, I'm a little afraid at the moment. Okay, whatever.

Gillian Griffin: It's okay. We're all here. We have you on camera. Whatever happens, everyone will know what happened to you. It's okay. It's okay. I was just saying that conversation between him and Alicia when he was supposed to be deading it was bizarre.

Marissa Castillo: Yes. Okay, you're saying? So bizarre because he immediately, you could tell he immediately regretted it when she started to stand up. And then he had the audacity to be like, we'll chat in the morning. She's like, no, you either pick me now or don't pick me at all. That's what she was, that's just basically saying is you either pick me now.

Gillian Griffin: That's what she claimed. She a liar.

Marissa Castillo: Well, the chats that evening were irrelevant because he still sat and laid in her bed and had that discussion with her. Ellie saw it.

Gillian Griffin: Like talking and giggling away and blah blah blah blah blah. It's not like he's sitting on the edge of the bad edge of the bed just thinking about how terrible he is. It's not like he's sitting on the edge of the bed, like being somber and talking about like how hard this is and how complicated it is, and like I'm sorry to hurt you, whatever, and then maybe tomorrow. It's it's like it's been like probably an hour, an hour and a half or something, and you're already like

Marissa Castillo: Peace.

Gillian Griffin: Laying in the bed with her, laughing and giggling, and thank God for everybody else being like, You might as well have stayed there. I don't know why you're getting up and pretending.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm, truly. And you said that you weren't gonna sleep outside, but... I mean good for you for sleeping outside? I don't know. I just feel like he truly should have just stayed. already... Julia said you already fucked it up. Which he did.

Gillian Griffin: He did. And he's he's and he said to her, which also, by the way, I don't think it matters whatever is going on. I think that even if he manages to get Ellie back and they leave, she's gonna dump him the second she sees all the episodes. Cause she's gonna go watch it back and she's gonna be like, That's what you were talking about? That's what you were doing while I was in the other room crying. You laid there in that bed next to her, over the sheets, whatever.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm.

Gillian Griffin: While I was in the room and said to her, There's nothing you want more than to stay the night in that bed. There's nothing you want more. Funny, cause you told me you were dating with her and that you wanted me more.

Marissa Castillo: He's a liar. He's confused and he's a liar. Jasmine, Mika, Yulia, and then Priya was just sitting there, but the three of them.

Gillian Griffin: Kriya came over later 'cause she has to be involved.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, the three of them, I do think that they are trying to come from a good place of like, we understand you're confused, but stop with the back and forth. If you're gonna make a decision, stand by it. And you like need to learn how to communicate because you suck. You're not even saying anything to anyone.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. And also, bless Yulia. She she was trying to yell at him. what was it? She ate him up. no, she said it to somebody else, but she was saying to him, like, like, what are you what are you doing? She was like, you're hurting both of these girls' feelings. Like she was trying to yell at him. The other girls were trying to stay calm. And she was like, I wanted to yell at this man, and no one else is yelling at him. Fine, I won't yell at him, but she looked so pissed for a minute. Like she was sitting there while the other girls were talking, and she was just like, the way I would scream at this man.

Marissa Castillo: See you soon. I know, she looked so disappointed being like, why is no one else yelling with me? it's just the way that she communicates. Now I've learned who she is and she comes off aggressive or a little bit abrasive. But she means well. She means well.

Gillian Griffin: She got pointy edges. She's a lot of sharp edges around a teddy bear.

Marissa Castillo: Yes, and I think...

Gillian Griffin: But she she was talking to someone and she absolutely killed it with this line. You're giving you gonna give a hundred percent to her on the date, but then you're gonna come back and give a hundred percent to you. D what are there two of him?

Marissa Castillo: She was making some really good points. She was. She was just trying to hold this man accountable and... He's not going to be held accountable.

Gillian Griffin: The British public have to hold him accountable, to be fair. T to be fair. I just

Marissa Castillo: That's true. And then Jordan, Jordan commented too, being like, you know, just take the pressure off and you know, do what you gotta do and have fun. Shut up. Literally shut up.

Gillian Griffin: Jordan, we all forgot you and Martha were there, except for the two times each of you opened your mouths. Like we forgot you were there. Both of them came up on my screen and I went, yeah.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I also forgot Jordan was there. And quite frankly, he annoys me. So he can leave. Martha can stay though.

Gillian Griffin: Mm. At this point. Yeah, she's fine. All the girls are safe in my eyes at this point. but how about Aiden at the end being like, while they're getting into their separate little twin beds, going to Ellie? It's wrong, and I'll tell him it's wrong. Coming from you?

Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Well I think it might mean more coming from him because he's the king of doing fuck ass shit and and

Gillian Griffin: Wrong?

Marissa Castillo: I also, Aiden, you know, Aiden, Ellie to Aiden is like Jasmine to Lorenzo.

Gillian Griffin: Mm-hmm.

Marissa Castillo: Does that make sense? Like, he'll always have that...

Gillian Griffin: They're friends. They're good they started together, but they'll be they'll be friends forever.

Marissa Castillo: Right, and he also has that... that love for her of just like... I don't want anything to happen to her because she truly has been fucked around with too many times.

Gillian Griffin: Don't believe that a hundred percent though, because he went into the hideaway with him and supported all those shenanigans instead of saying Ellie and Priya would be so hurt and pissed by us doing this in the hideaway. They keep bringing up respect, and Finley said he's I'm just I just want to be respectful. I just want to be respectful. I just want to be respectful. I just want to be respectful. Is the respect in the country of Spain? Is it in Mallorca? Is it even in the same hemisphere?

Marissa Castillo: Ugh. You've literally said, where is the respect that you claim to have? Because it's not in the room with us, It's not even in the USA. It's somewhere else. I think it's buried in the depths of the ocean at this point.

Gillian Griffin: It's crazy.

Marissa Castillo: It's Down with the Titanic.

Gillian Griffin: my gosh, it's gone with that submarine. Gone. She's gone.

Marissa Castillo: UK to the UK listeners that don't know what that means. You got to look up that. You got to look up that submarine. Some people don't.

Gillian Griffin: I'm everybody knows what that means. Come on. It's just g gone. my gosh. Okay, I gotta wind down. I'm just I'm I'm worried that Huh Rise down

Marissa Castillo: We saw, yeah, rise down. Rise down.

Gillian Griffin: Is that a thing?

Marissa Castillo: I've been saying, I've been saying that to people. That's something Ania said about Casey, because he has still I rise. And she's she said, rise, he needs to rise down. Yeah.

Gillian Griffin: that's a Love Island US thing. That tattoo gotten so much shenanigans. I'm so on the fence because part of me really wants Ellie to just pack up her shit and also throw all of Finley's stuff in the pool.

Marissa Castillo: Yes. Mm-hmm.

Gillian Griffin: Like I just want her to be like, I'm absolutely done. Goodbye. Aiden, you're not winning 50K because you're coupled up with me, quote unquote. Is done. Is done. It's done. The whole thing. So the nice experiment I tried, like she said, she said I came here. I thought I found what I wanted. I was vulnerable. I'm not doing this anymore.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I would leave too. I'd be like, peace out, y'all.

Gillian Griffin: 'cause I just I don't think I could handle it if she actually takes him back at this point. Especially after you told that girl he wanted to be in her bed.

Marissa Castillo: be extremely disappointed. because I expect better from her. Because if it were any of her other girlfriends, she'd be like, what are you doing?

Gillian Griffin: I it would just be shocking.

Marissa Castillo: Let's don't and say we did.

Gillian Griffin: Over Lorenzo. Just listen to Lorenzo. He keeps coming and going. Do you want someone who acts like this in here? What is he gonna act like in the real world?

Marissa Castillo: I know and that's coming from Lorenzo who doesn't commit for shit. But him and Yulia have had some really nice moments.

Gillian Griffin: Anything. Go ahead and move on to that. How do you feel about Julian Lorenzo's weird back massage session?

Marissa Castillo: I just think besides Yulia's little stint and me not liking her, I have said from the beginning, I really like them together. I think they're funny for each other. think she doesn't cut him any slack and he needs that.

Gillian Griffin: Mm.

Marissa Castillo: And he, she also is patient with him.

Gillian Griffin: To a point.

Marissa Castillo: to a point until she's like... You know, I don't know, they're just really, I think they're really nice together. I think a lot of people are gonna vote them the winners.

Gillian Griffin: Win at this point to be honest. They keep it up and now that Finley fumbled that bag, foolish. Absolutely foolish.

Marissa Castillo: Yes. Yeah. Foolish. Because I don't think it's gonna be Simba and Angie. I think Simba and Angie will be in the top four, but...

Gillian Griffin: Man, Simon Angie, they I was so on the fence. I was like, no, was he taking her up there to say that he loves her? Like gross. And then he started talking. And then he put her hand on his heart and he was like, feel how hard my heart is beating. And then I was like.

Marissa Castillo: Now that I knew it. It was coming. best. No, I think I want to feel confident in feeling like he has grown from his mistakes, knows better. Sometimes you do have to hit rock bottom.

Gillian Griffin: Fucking fingers crossed man, fingers crossed. I I just I hope, I hope, I hope 'cause I cannot stop messing with her heart, man. Please please

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. I know. She's just so genuine and pure. Someone pointed out that there was no clips of Angelista for Movie Night and that... Simba did. He said there was no clips of her. Because there's...

Gillian Griffin: and Kevin was so excited about that, he was like, Yeah, there were no clips of her. That's amazing. That's that means she's really good. Casually throwing shade at his own partner, but whatever. You know what though?

Marissa Castillo: You can go get another stye for all I care.

Gillian Griffin: You know what though? Kavin got the biggest laugh out of me when all the boys went out first and did a cheers and he said, Findlay, it's been nice knowing you.

Marissa Castillo: Yes.

Gillian Griffin: I laughed out loud. Belly laughed like so loud. I was like, nailed it.

Marissa Castillo: Yeah, I feel like that would have been a joke that Fitz would have made.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Someone's gotta pick up the slack. Someone's gotta pick up the slack for the

Marissa Castillo: I know if I want it to be him, but he'll do for now.

Gillian Griffin: He will do four now. what else? What else what else? Mika and Samraj had another really cute bedtime discussion.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. They did. And Samaraj is like, I think I'm falling for her. And I'm like, okay, I won't be mad at you for much longer.

Gillian Griffin: Also Mika was really standing up for Ellie and really like tintoes down for her friend and I was just like, you know and also you gotta give you really have to give Mika some grace 'cause she's twenty one.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Is she? I didn't realize she was that young and has never had a relationship.

Gillian Griffin: Yes. Like you double check. Ca 'cause she was talking to Lorenzo. Yeah, she's that young and never had a relationship. And then she was talking to Lorenzo or somebody and they're like, You've never been in a relationship. And then she was like, Yeah, blah blah blah. And he went, How old are you? And the the guy had gone, How old are you? And she went twenty one and he went, that's why.

Marissa Castillo: Mm. Well, yes, that does make more sense to me.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah, she's twenty one. She's t she's but a baby. She's but a baby. And she's admitted that she's had her flaws in the past and that she messes around and leads people on and that she just has a hard time with commitment and gets scared and runs away. So but in Love Island, can't run away like that. You're still gonna see You can't just block and delete.

Marissa Castillo: okay, then yes. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Gillian Griffin: gosh.

Marissa Castillo: which... growth for everyone except for Finley, apparently.

Gillian Griffin: Apparently, I just You know what? Not gonna waste any more time talking about that man. He's trashed the end.

Marissa Castillo: Thoreau, I'm in the garbage. He doesn't belong in my villa. Thank you. That was a Mimi original.

Gillian Griffin: That's right. man, are we missing anything? I'm wor I'm worried, I'm like, are we missing anything? What?

Marissa Castillo: Alicia? I'll say one thing, don't you ever fucking call my girl the safe option again. Don't ever do that.

Gillian Griffin: Also that this is where again she started losing me because she kept talking and being like, I just there's just something sinister about it and very pick me, you know.

Marissa Castillo: I don't like it. I don't like it at all. don't, I don't. That's not girl's girl behavior, Miss Thang.

Gillian Griffin: Eats serious. This Uber Eats driver left my food not at my house. It was ice cream. It was basically completely wilted. I just got a notification on my phone that I've been refunded. $2. I've been refunded the tip. He can still have his tip. That's rude of Uber. They're like, what money are we gonna take away? His tip.

Marissa Castillo: Irrelevant.

Gillian Griffin: I'm sorry to that man who got confused and left my food in the wrong place.

Marissa Castillo: I'm sorry to that man and I'm sorry to anyone that lives in America. something else that I would put on a t-shirt. Please reserve your right to silence.

Gillian Griffin: Absolutely.

Marissa Castillo: Thank you.

Gillian Griffin: This is why I wish Ellie would just yell at him. I wish she would just yell at him. He does he deserves it so much. Even more beyond what Tommy deserved. Like, he deserves it so much. Cause she's already gone on what one, two, three separate rants in the dressing room over him. Come on. Come on. Go scream at him.

Marissa Castillo: Yes. even more so. Well that's how you know she really cares, she's not yelling at him.

Gillian Griffin: I hate that for her.

Marissa Castillo: What do you think is going to happen in the next episode?

Gillian Griffin: She goes back with him. I hope she watches the episodes and immediately realizes that he's a giant flaming pile of trash.

Marissa Castillo: I don't think in the next episode it's going to be any different. I really do think he's going to keep digging himself into a deeper hole.

Gillian Griffin: You know, I'm really nervous that she's going to leave and that that's why there was no tomorrow night.

Marissa Castillo: Truly.

Gillian Griffin: Like I'm really nervous that that's that there's no tomorrow night because she's leaving and they can't there's like nothing to show. If they don't show that Ellie's doing something, they have nothing to show. You know what I mean? Because everyone is going to figure it out in advance if they show a tomorrow night and they don't show what's going on with Ellie, because probably the main drama will be people reacting to her leaving and Finley being like, I guess I'm with.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Gillian Griffin: Alicia now fully and I can sleep in this bed with her and whatever and they're gonna get voted out so fast. but that's that's my theory.

Marissa Castillo: If Finley doesn't leave with her, he was never down for her. Like he said.

Gillian Griffin: In the words of in the words of the biggest Love Island lore, if he really liked her, he would leave with her. I don't know if you've ever seen that meme, but that is a meme of a Love Island meme.

Marissa Castillo: No, I've never seen that, but...

Gillian Griffin: I think it's probably season two or three or something like that, but there's a guy in the confessional that someone left and he's in the the tiki the tiki shack or whatever and he goes, If he really liked her, he would leave with her

Marissa Castillo: think there is a... I don't even know what I'm trying to say. If it's week two, don't leave with her. You don't have to leave with her. But if it's this far, if you're like week four together and you've already had sex with each other, I'd say leave with her.

Gillian Griffin: Are you okay? Well, if she leaves it will be the kick in the butt that he really needs when he realizes he can't just string them both along forever.

Marissa Castillo: because I remember... Right, because I do remember this was a similar situation with Scott and Leanne, where there was a chance that she would have been eliminated and he said, but I would have stayed. And people were very upset at the fact that he would have stayed. And she was like, no, I fully expect you to stay.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. And also look at them now. So happy going on trips.

Marissa Castillo: So happy.

Gillian Griffin: And that's the tea probably.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm.

Gillian Griffin: Mm. These episodes have been shorter lately 'cause there's so much less going on. It's just Finley and Ellie, Finley and Ellie. And my cat's knocking over boxes? I don't

Marissa Castillo: Finley and Ellie with a sprinkle of the other couples in between, but mostly Finley and Ellie.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah. And Alicia and and Priya and Aiden and Ethan when they let Ethan talk.

Marissa Castillo: Yes. That pentagon of people.

Gillian Griffin: That Pentagon of people. Gosh, these last bombshells. Maybe they, I don't know if they are the final bombshells or not, though. Surely they are. Right?

Marissa Castillo: I think so, yeah.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah, they'd have to be because they're gonna start like eliminating everyone next week. Ooh, I'm excited. They're probably gonna do that dinner soon where they have everyone sit and have dinner together around a big table and we they ask questions and we get to answer questions on the Instagram stories. It'll be good. That'll be a juicy one.

Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gillian Griffin: I hope Kavan and Jasmine pick a good question. You know what? Aiden's the kind of person who would use his question to ask the public whether or not people see Jasmine and Kavan working.

Marissa Castillo: If he knows what's good for him, he'll shut up. But he doesn't know.

Gillian Griffin: He doesn't know what's good for him.

Marissa Castillo: always on the same page.

Gillian Griffin: Yeah, well I just I hope that Priya picks Ethan and that Ethan continues to be a wonderful man and doesn't do a Finley switch up on us anytime soon. Or at least he's smart enough not to do a Finley switch up, you know?

Marissa Castillo: And yes, I really hope that Priya gives him a chance. The chance she owes herself because I do think he would be so good for her.

Gillian Griffin: So good for her. And they have and they they catch a vibe. I like it. well, you know, if you have any thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, you can drop a review on Apple.
