Gillian Griffin: Hi, I'm Gee. Marissa Castillo: And I mean. Gillian Griffin: And this is Love Island Tea Time. my god. the episode started with. A lot. Just he said she said Marissa Castillo: A lot a lot happened this episode. Gillian Griffin: in an annoying fight. An annoying annoying fight, I feel like. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, every well, not everyone. It's just you know, the typical people that I have a problem with are involved in the drama. And surprisingly, and also I'm sorry if I sound weird, my throat hurts a lot this morning. also Tommy this is the most I've ever heard him spoke in an episode and I wish he would go back to shutting the fuck up because his voice just annoys me. And you don't make sense, Gillian Griffin: no. Marissa Castillo: so sit down. Gillian Griffin: I thought he made sense once or twice, but that's it. Marissa Castillo: Okay, a couple of times. That's it. That's it. Gillian Griffin: So when we left off, got so many names in my head right now. Yulia told Jasmine that she thinks she's shady and snaky, but that Priya is also fake and here for in a game player, but that Priya's also pure of heart and that. very kind and lovely and that Jasmine's taking advantage of her and being a bad friend, to which Jasmine had said, Well which is it? Is she pure part or a game player? I would also like to know the answer. So then Priya goes and talks to her and doesn't know what happened. In this episode, they chat. Frankly, I don't care. But Yulia told her she thinks Aiden is a game player. She doesn't think Priya's a game player. Priya goes and talks to Jasmine. Jasmine's like, as soon as Priya repeats that also it's a wild to watch a game of telephone go so badly. Like to see people continue. Like, you know, because you can hear all the little edits everyone makes, right? Marissa Castillo: Mm, yeah, a little bit. Gillian Griffin: And I'm just like, this is wild watching this get like taken. I mean, first of all, Yulia's wrong. Doesn't actually matter by the end, but it's wild watching people repeat things to Yulia, like two times removed from her. So Yulia has just just enough Google room to get in there and be like I didn't say that. It's not this. Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: Like, and I feel like that's where she felt her justification came from. Cause people weren't quoting her exactly, but it's like, yeah, but that's what you said. And so Priya's like, wait, she thinks I'm a game player. And then but Jasmine, good on her, to be completely fair. She said, I thought she said she thought both of you were game players, but maybe I just misunderstood. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: You know, very on the chit. And then Priya starts talking to her in the dressing room and it just devolves and Yulia, you should get a gaslighting award because you said some things and then literally said the opposite of those exact things within moments of each other. Marissa Castillo: I just don't think the girl can get her opinion straight. And that's why it gives you're there for other reasons. You're clearly there to stir the pot. You can't get your facts straight. You can't get what you said straight. You're saying one thing to one person and then saying another to you know, whoever's listening. I d and she really, really lost me with the whole dressing room chat because Priya was bringing up facts, same facts that you and I know. You know. Sa same love island lore. And then sh Yulia has the audacity to be like, and that's probably why you've made it this far. Gillian Griffin: And also like and you just said it. You just said that's what you're doing. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Like Gillian Griffin: Pam. Marissa Castillo: what? Gillian Griffin: Hello? Marissa Castillo: I d I I was so floored by the things that Yulia had to say this episode. She started it's it started at the very beginning. But the he said, she said, blah blah blah. But it's true, like she can't keep up with her own thoughts and opinions. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, and she c and she literally just sits there and goes, I don't know this, I don't know that, I just said this. And it's really great. And the fact that she I feel like with the Lola thing, it was a little bit more clear. I was like, You should be mad at him. And then she would throw in other things sometimes and be like, duh. But like it wasn't really other things. It was just doubling down on that. I think her key mistake, because what I think is she studied the Lucinda playbook from last year. Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: She's over there saying, I'm do not I'm on do not disturb. This and that. The difference is, listen, I had a love-hate relationship with Lucinda. I was like, God, this is annoying. It's so obvious what she's doing. But also, she's making good TV. She's saying stuff to people's faces, and she can't even keep a straight face while she's doing it. She keeps laughing while it's happening because she can't believe that she's getting under people's skin like this, which she just doesn't even care. And trusts. But here's the other thing. Lucinda didn't start off with this persona. She did that for All-Stars. I've watched her on two other seasons of Love Island, and she was being a normal person, which is the other reason why I was a little frustrated with her. But like she just decided to be Rage Bait Queen, and that's fine. But it feels like Yulia's trying to decide to do that, and she's new here. Yesterday or previous episode, she said, I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here. I think that her true colors are showing also that she's Just trying to make sure she causes as much ruckus as possible, to Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: get as much airtime as possible. And she made the key mistake of trying to fight with two girls at once now, because now she can't keep it straight. Because now I think it might have even been like in the middle of talking to Jasmine that she was like, but the main reason I have a reason to be have beef with Jasmine is because of what she did to Priya. But I have beef with Priya. So now I have to just say I think Priya's cool. You know what I mean? So she's fighting with both of these girls at the same time, and I think that's her mistake. 'Cause before when she was just Lola, it was just Lola. You know? Marissa Castillo: Yeah, but her other reason for having quote unquote beef with Jasmine is because of the affair. Which it's like what affair? What what are Gillian Griffin: Didn't happen. It didn't happen. Marissa Castillo: you talking about? If if this affair that you're speaking of is your own feelings of insecurity, then say that. Because I don't know how many times Lorenzo and Jasmine can make it clear that it's platonic. Kavin has let it go. Why can't you? Gillian Griffin: How's he? Marissa Castillo: He's doing his best. I'll give him that. Gillian Griffin: He's doing his best. He's not pulling Lorenzo for chats and being an asshole to him. But yeah, that conversation in the dressing room just like absolutely devolved. And like, I don't feel like anyone was really yelling at her. I feel like people she kept saying different things, and people were like, Yulia, that's not right. And then Yulia was like, Can I speak? And I was like, ma'am. Some people's theory is Marissa Castillo: I know. Gillian Griffin: that it's like the ESL thing going on. Some people were like, it's because she's not getting any attention from Lorenzo. So she's taking it out on other people and she's insecure. And I'm like, I don't think it's just that she's not getting as much romance from Lorenzo as she wants. And guess what? He's done a few things. Also, just shout out to Lorenzo for lint rolling his pillow. with his phone Marissa Castillo: Couldn't be bothered. Gillian Griffin: like I thought he was kidding. He's like, I'm just lint rolling my pillow. I'm just finishing up lint rolling my pillow. And I'm like, this is a weird little joke they decided to include. And then the lights went off and he had his phone shining on his pillow so you could see the lint Lorenzo get diagnosed. Whatever Marissa Castillo: I know. Gillian Griffin: it is. Please there's some no I never in my life, especially before you put your head on it, just the lit Marissa Castillo: It's fine. Let my man live. Let him be himself. Gillian Griffin: He can be himself, I'm just saying. It does appear Fitzy said, my undiagnosed whatever it is in his Love Island audition video, he knows what's up. Lorenzo appears to be beautifully unaware of whatever's going on. And I'm just like, just look into it a little bit for me, please. I've never seen everyone complains that every season we we diagnose someone on Love Island with autism or ADD or whatever. But Th there's a lot more stacking up against Lorenzo this year. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, that's true. Gillian Griffin: Not against. Stacking up in the column of you got something going on. Marissa Castillo: He definitely has something going on. I I mean, just with how he is and who he is and the way that he moves about life for sure. getting back to Yulia and the dressing room Gillian Griffin: His partner. Marissa Castillo: situation, I I don't know where that came from. I think it was fair to say that everyone was trying to hold her accountable for saying something that was completely out of pocket and inappropriate. No one raised their voice at her. She got frustrated because she was trying to get a word in. And honey, you get your word in all the time. And what Gillian Griffin: Mm-hmm. Marissa Castillo: really wanted to have me throw myself off the fucking roof was when she went to Lorenzo afterwards and started crying about it. And he was comforting her. And it's just Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: like you he admits like he doesn't know the full story, but it's literally so frustrating from an outsider's perspective. Watching the whole thing unfold and then having her be like, but like take a note from Angie, stop the sniffling and the tears with the and the dramatics. Just that's fucking fake. It's so fake to me. That you're playing victim, you're being microaggressive, and then you're playing victim. I'm just saying. Gillian Griffin: Think there's a much micro about it anymore. She's again, I said, look, she'll say it to your face, but and also good for Jasmine. Even Kevin was like, I'm surprised you didn't bite when she said that about you. And Jasmine's just like, I really don't care about her opinion. Which is so amazing to see her so chilled. It was a really good work. Really good work, Jasmine. Because I think she just knows that she's a rage baiter and she's like, Why am I gonna take the bait? When it's Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: obvious she doesn't actually. care or feel anything. And Jasmine put it really well. She's like, just Jasmine helped Yulia out. And Yulia should just said yes, that's exactly it. And instead, Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: Jasmine gave that whole lovely speech. It's like, I think Yulia thought this before. And now that she sees this, she thinks this of you. And then Yulia just went, I don't know if you're this or that or whatever, but I don't know if you're a game player. But then I saw this and I just think that it was funny that you know the evidence of what I said came up on the screen and it was just like she just helped you so much. Just say yes. Like If you think that this is a whole thing where you don't want, if you don't want to be in fights with people, let it get put to bed. Yuli just kept putting in dig after dig and going, well, no. And it's like, babe, you have Marissa Castillo: I know. Well Gillian Griffin: your say all the time. Marissa Castillo: It's just like I get she just can't give things a rest. And like I understand wanting to wake up the next morning and once again talk to all the girls in the dressing room and it gets heated between her and Priya. Priya's kind of raising her voice and I cannot understand why because she says I'm raising my voice because I'm frustrated because you keep Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: coming for me. And I would be the same way if I were Priya. I'd be like, You keep coming for my neck. You keep coming for my character, you keep coming for my connection. How else do you expect me to react? Do you just want me to sit here and take it? Or do you want me to defend myself, my connection, and my character? Exactly. Gillian Griffin: The way you would defend yourself, which she does all the time. And also Priya even said, you know, I have thoughts about you and Lorenzo, but I keep my mouth shut 'cause it's not necessary and all it would do is hurt you. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. There's an opinion and then there's hurting people. That's what she said. And that's been my point the entire time. Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Even Tommy later on says, I thought this about your connection, but I just felt like it wasn't my place to share that when it came down to Aiden and Priya. Like there's just some things you don't have to share. And regardless Yes, you were right. Jasmine was trying to give her a bone and be like, I think this is what happened. I'm trying to explain the situation for you, trying to help you out. And then Yulia again runs with this narrative of still being like, Well, I don't know if Priya's genuine. I don't know if Aiden's genuine. After she had just the night before said Priya has is genuine. And it told Priya. Gillian Griffin: Is is genuine and lovely and a pre of heart pure of heart. Pre of heart. Yeah, I just I'm really, really over it. And it's just and then she had the nerve to invoke the name of Our Lady Mara, goddess of the island. Excuse me? She's like, I saw the way you girls treated Mara. What do you mean when they hung around and talked with her all the time and shared drinks and laughed about Semba and chit chatted and were always sitting together. Like what do you mean? Marissa Castillo: I don't understand. Like, Mara Gillian Griffin: How they treated Mara? Marissa Castillo: was very much accepted into the villa because she knew exactly the environment that she was walking into. Like Priya said, I think it was Priya. When you sign up to be a bombshell, you know exactly what it is that you're walking into. You know that you're coming in as a test. Don't expect to be welcomed with Warm open arms, especially after something like Kassam Moore. Gillian Griffin: Even yeah, even that's what I was saying, it's even more so if you're a Casa Amore girl, when you agree to be in Casa Amore, girl, listen, I s I typed up my little application a few years ago, a couple times, to be on Love Island USA when it wasn't even popular, because I was like, I think I would smash it. It's like, what do I have to lose? Don't date anyone anyway. Maybe I meet the love of my life, be able to get my heart broken on TV, whatever. But trust, if they had been like Would you like to be in casa more? I'd be like, God. That would Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: be my reaction with if they messaged me back and said, Okay, we want to cast you, but we want you to be in casa more. I'd be like, man, I gotta grab someone's man. I gotta try. The chances of me being brought back is like one in six. Okay. Like, Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: and listen, I have a little more sympathy for Sherwin. She came up on our Instagram feed and her she did a video about her whole story. She is a victim of random assault by a man from someone she was messaging who for some reason came up behind her in a restaurant, punched her in the back of the head, and smashed her face into a glass table. Sh her forehead. didn't affect the rest, but still she had a very traumatic event happen to her. I'll I'll extend some grace. And also Charlene, really? I don't think Charlene, I think it's like you won't know this reference because you didn't watch the season before, but there's this this trio of girls that were last year people got it right somehow. There's a tree of girls Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: that truly were like. kind of like weird and bullies and the main girl thought she was like the head of the villa because she was in a day one couple but their couple sucked and it was a whole thing. And there's this girl with them named Helena who ended up coming back for All Stars and everyone couldn't stand Helena on her original season, really. And then on All Stars when she was away from the other girl, everyone was like, we actually she seems cool actually. She seems nice. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: Da da da like maybe it was just because she was around that other girl and I genuinely feel like the group In the Casa Moore, they really had to go out of their way to find girls that were ready to have beef with the main villa girls and who were not ready to back down on sleighs because and Martha's the same. I don't think I would have disliked Martha as much if she wasn't around it's the dark haired one Olivia. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: Olivia acted some type of way. She was getting under my skin. And and Yulia came right out of pocket the second she got into the main villa. And they're like, you treat us like this. And I was like, but you keep giving them reasons to. Like, I've seen people Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: be chill with you. Like I've seen you vibing and the girls trying to be nice. And then you do stuff like this. And like there wasn't drama like this before she was in the villa. And I just feel like Yeah, I just feel like this particular group of girls, aside from Arquimara, and I think Nivea probably would have been chill. it's just like can you relax about how bombshells have been treated and whatever? Cause Mara got along just fine with the other girls. I and the three of you just kinda glued yourselves together and made yourselves opposition. Like, if you Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: And I know Shirley try harder to like chat with Jasmine, get along with Jasmine and like do the thing. Shirley has really nothing on Jasmine when ch even when Jasmine talked about them getting back together, she's just said, you know, he's running it back with her. He she didn't say anything nasty about her. She didn't call her out of her name. If anything, she couldn't really say her name because she was just crying. She's just upset, like anything from there. And she and some people would have understood if she said anything like. Nasty about Charlene in that moment, but she didn't. She didn't blame Charlene at all. It was all about Kevin. Marissa Castillo: No. Gillian Griffin: And so Yulia coming here with these narratives and the this and the that. I'm just like, give it a rest. And I'm so annoyed because Priya and Aiden will be going home tomorrow Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: off of this public vote. And Yulia and Lorenzo will be safe because for some reason people are still on her side. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: I don't I I don't understand how or why. Like everyone thinks Priyan Aiden's connection is not genuine, it's fake, it's whatever. And that's fine. You can think that. But think that for yourself. Not because she's saying it and she's so adamant about it. My thing with her is that I don't know why people are so ten toes down on her when she's created so much ruckus. and she did have this narrative of like bombshells get treated so horribly. But in the past, have you seen how they get treated? Like, I think nine times out of ten, whenever the Casa girls do come back, at first it's a little tense. But they're actually embraced by the end of the whole thing. The only reason she's not being embraced is because she's being a bitch. And even when they announce that they're doing the podcast thing, Yulia says, she's going down. And I know she's talking about Priya. Like, do you w do we not see how this bitch is moving in here? Open your eyeballs. Take off the rose-colored glasses. And see her for who she truly is. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, I I th I think it's under the the umbrella of her being like this is who I want to be on the show. I think she's calculated, but not quite calculated enough to like pull it off the way she thinks it would be pulled off. And I think she's earned that title. She's not nice to these other girls. Like and then she just babe. I don't know, the way it again, it's just weird that for some reason she's in fights with everyone who's not a white blonde girl. It's just weird. It just sits weird. You know what I mean? I know that maybe that's just like who but like it's not even that that that's like who's left. Like she defended Ellie ten tones down, she was cool with Ellie. Seems odd. It just it just sits odd. Not certain about it, but it sits odd. You know what I mean? Marissa Castillo: I think it's more than odd. And anyone who doesn't see that, again, reevaluate your moral compass. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, she's got specific people sh and like some people like I scrolling through the Twitter last night and people were like, Martha and Jordan were clearly in a friendship couple and just staying together for the sake of the show, so you didn't have a problem with them. Marissa Castillo: No, she's not going to because that Martha's her girl. Gillian Griffin: It's it's just I don't know. I don't know how many more times I can listen to her say the same things over and over again and start the same fights over and over again. And just think it's a pattern. I think it's more or less, you know, for for whatever reason. It's fun for TV, you know. But I saw a clip of Yasmin, not Yasmin, of Shakira, of Shakira and Yasmin from the Debrief, the big three from last summer, talking about Yulia and Yasmin was like. She makes great T V and she carrows like but imagine living with her. Marissa Castillo: Right. I don't care. Gillian Griffin: Like she's making everybody else miserable. She's making everybody else miserable. And I don't like that. And I also don't like that she's doesn't actually have a like to stand on with half the shit that she's designing is upsetting her. Like the Jasmine thing is so unfounded. It's like, why are you mad at her? She's done nothing to you. The only thing she ever did was go, I'm not gonna get to know this guy and Costco more when Kevin doesn't know what's going on. If he comes back and if He comes back if Priya picks him, if Priya wants to get to know him and sh like if she's down, I'll get to know him too. That's like best case scenario. But then she literally didn't even like speak to him again. She spoke to him like Marissa Castillo: I know. Gillian Griffin: like she spoke to him like twice on the on the night and the next morning and then just like never spoke to him again. Like it's like she had some big evil motive and like she went and sat and cuddled up with him and like screwed Priya over. Like it's just like, come on. Priya's allergic to people who actually like her as well. Let's just say it. She's allergic to people who actually like her. That is also a disease. I also hope for a cure for you, Priya, because this is no good. This is no good. Marissa Castillo: Yeah, no, it it it's my argument for Yulia is if you want nice treatment, treat others nicely. And you can't just come in here and expect everyone to back you or to be kind to you when you're still moving the way that you are. That's it. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, and pick Marissa Castillo: That's all. Gillian Griffin: and you're picking fights with a group of girls who have had each other's backs from day one. Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: Like literally. It's the two Marissa Castillo: Also Gillian Griffin: earliest bombshells and the rest are OG girls. They've had each other's backs the whole time. And if you could just sit and pause for a second and think about all your opinions and go, if anyone said these about me, would I be upset? Hmm. Okay. Marissa Castillo: I think I think it would depend on who's saying them about her. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, and it's also delivery a lot of the time. Lorenzo said it to her. She's like, You're saying it in a way that's upsetting them and giving them a reason to have a fight with you. I'm like, agree. Hard agree. I don't think we should talk about all the results of this podcast because it's too many. It's all of them voted, then it's who's in first, second, and third place with the public could kind of like go over it. But I just think, especially considering I think Priya was trying to get her lick back half the time. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: To Yulia Lorenzo, I don't think it was necessarily actually about them, but fine, whatever. Marissa Castillo: Right. Gillian Griffin: I think that god. I think that Yulia needs to stop being on other people's business and evaluate while she why she and only she and Lorenzo were voted by the public in every single category. It doesn't matter that you're in third place. You were consistently voted into every single category that happened to no one else, not even Priya and Aiden. You got voted Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: into the top three of every single negative category. that you're fame hungry, that you're just there for the bag, that you're strong in the villa but gonna be weak outside, that you're gonna cheat on each other. Like, come on. Marissa Castillo: Re sweeping red flags under the rug. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Come on. Marissa Castillo: It's just and and for least compatible. Gillian Griffin: Yep. I'm like maybe you should focus on your couple. Marissa Castillo: On your own connection. But is she going to? No. And is the fact that her that that she's in third place all the time gonna bother her? No. Cause she's just so stuck in the Gillian Griffin: Is anyone else gonna like bring it up to her and rub it in her face over and over and over again? No. Marissa Castillo: No, and she was so s wha when was that that she was just like, Yay, my point like amen. When when did that happen? Because that was fucked. Gillian Griffin: Something when when Aiden and Priya got number one for like red flags or for Fame Hungry or something. It was for one of the first two. But yeah, Amen was too much. Marissa Castillo: yeah, I think it was the fame hungry one. And then Simba. Shut up. Just shut up. Gillian Griffin: Just Marissa Castillo: As a black man defending a white woman, shut up. Gillian Griffin: Who's picking fights with your girl, all your girls' best friends? Listen, I don't think that it's a mentality train. Cause Mika said she's like, I can make my own opinions and Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: I am separately upset with her. She's literally and also like Simba, just like clock it for a second. She hasn't picked a fight with you or Angie, right? She's so Marissa Castillo: She knows not to. Gillian Griffin: Probably scared of Angie. but then Marissa Castillo: I'd be scared of Simba. Gillian Griffin: all the literally every other couple she's picked to fight with, except for Yasmin and Tommy. But Yasmin and Tommy are both just like, yeah, cool, say your thing, but like this is too much. Like they're defending their friends at that point. They're just going, like, you you just keep going in, and there's a time and a place for saying your opinion and just walking up to people and just Saying it to them isn't necessarily that time and place. Like it's Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: basically largely, even when people are talking behind each other's backs, when people start talking about other couples unprovoked, when it has nothing to do with them. When people start talking about things that are going on that are bothering them, it makes sense. Jasmine's talking about Yulia because it's bothering her. You know what I mean? Because Yulia's done something Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: to directly affect her. She talks about her because it bothers her. She'll and then she also doesn't like go crazy about it. She usually says like a sentence or two about like this is so annoying, and then usually lets it go. You don't see her talking about it every single day. Whereas we're seeing Yulia talk about these other couples about their situations every single day. And usually it's it's usually salacious on Love Island when they show a couple randomly talking about another couple for like seemingly unprovoked, being like, Yeah, I don't know about those two. That's always like, ooh. Juicy gossip. What's going on? Why are you talking about them? Why are you in their business? You know, like usually that's the vibe when people start Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: talking about other couples. Yuli has just been doing it day in, day out, day in, day out. And I'm like, girl. Marissa Castillo: And then I think like Gillian Griffin: Please. Marissa Castillo: you wonder why your connection with Lorenzo is the way that it is. I think if you focus more on your own connection and trying to build something and maybe have deeper chats and all of these things, you'd be in a way better place. Maybe you'd feel more secure. But I don't see them really talk throughout the day. I see them chat in bed when Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: he says, like, you know, I show my affections in bed. But if I were her, I'd have him put in the work during the day. Gillian Griffin: Absolutely. Marissa Castillo: But she's too busy running her map. Gillian Griffin: Also, when people like ask, like, why don't you defend her? I'm like, because what is there to defend? She wants to have an out-of-pocket opinion about somebody. I'm not gonna stop her. First of all, I'm not gonna stop her from doing what she wants to do. Second of all, I'm not going to jump into matching my opinion with hers when I don't. She wouldn't defend him. Come on. Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: If he had something to say about one of her friends, she wouldn't. Like, come on. Marissa Castillo: Yeah. And I I'm more upset about him not defending the other girls than I am about him not defending her. Because he has a huge relationship with the other girls. He has such a big friendship. The public can clearly see that he defends the girls, like no no problem. But when it comes to how your partner is making these girls feel, you can't hold her accountable. You say one comment, which thank God that he did, but the rest Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: of the time I like I wanted him to move the way that he did with Lola and Fitz, where he was like, You have to understand this is why she's upset. Like you're saying things that are not really appropriate, let it go. Whereas like Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: where are you now that she's running amok. She's literally turning this villa inside out. Gillian Griffin: Uside down. Marissa Castillo: And back around again. Gillian Griffin: just think that now he likes her more so maybe he doesn't wanna butt heads with her. I don't know. Lorenzo just likes to be chilled. I th Marissa Castillo: We just had deja vu. Gillian Griffin: I think Lorenzo just likes to be chilled, you know, I think that's kind of the beginning middle of end and end of it. Like the less he has to do, the better in all forms. And it's just it's a hard situation. It's a very hard situation. Now she's she's in it with all of the girls. Cause she did pick pick a fight with Mika on Grafty's night. She picked a fight with Jasmine. She picked a fight with Priya. Like She has now picked a fight with half of the villa. And listen, Angie and Semmo, she's not on your neck yet, but she might be later, just saying. Might come up. Marissa Castillo: it might come up. She might be like, well Simba did this and Simba did that because she loves to bring up the past, even though Angie's all loved up and happy. Gillian Griffin: Like girl Marissa Castillo: I just and you know what? I think her cr constantly correcting Lorenzo during the podcast of it's Julia, it's Julia. I think that should give you right, Gillian Griffin: He's been saying her name wrong for two weeks. Marissa Castillo: I think I think that should give you also a clear indication of she she lays it on. Like she had no issue with him for the last two weeks being like Julia, Julia, Julia. But now that you guys are on a podcast with Maya Jamma, you wanna put it on. And like put on this persona of like that bothers you. You know what I'm saying? It's just like take a look at her characteristics. Gillian Griffin: Also, I said it before, I'm pretty sure like a week ago, people that usually come at you with out-of-pocket accusations, like there are things that people have accused me of that I've literally never thought of another person doing, and things that people have done to me that I've literally never crossed my mind are possible to do to another person because I never would. And I'm grateful every day that when people do certain things, I'm like, I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand how you can do that. Because I shouldn't, because I'm not that person who would do one of those things. But for Yulia, Marissa Castillo: Mm-hmm. Gillian Griffin: it all seemed real plain and simple and laid out. She just like, and it's like, girl, so these things are on your mind. You thought about the game. You think about this. You think about that. Like, that's how I f I feel. When people come with pretty out of pocket accusations, it's just like, okay. Or She's basing it on past public opinion. I don't know what's going on, but I just need it. I'm just mad because this last couple of days should have just been the girlhood and it's not I'm tired. Marissa Castillo: No. It's not. And Gillian Griffin: Also, it's just Marissa Castillo: Well. Gillian Griffin: the fact that Yulia's over here being like the way you treated the Casa Moore girls. Meanwhile, the American Casa Moore girls got dragged within an inch of their life at the fire pit and then all became buddy buddy like the next day. Marissa Castillo: Truly. Gillian Griffin: Like literally were able to get into the dressing room and be like, It was I'm so sorry, we shouldn't have acted like that towards you. It was about him, not you. And the Costumora girl was able to like, Girl, I get it. Sorry, I also shouldn't have acted like that And then happy families the rest of the show. Like, come on, man Marissa Castillo: Well that's also because the Casa Moore girls didn't come in. Stirring the pot and giving fucking opinions left and right and causing drama. Like out the o I think the only time they ever caused like quote unquote drama was movie night in the USA in the villa when, you know, I think it was more so with TT. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: But even then, that same night, all the girls made up and made amends. Like that's Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Marissa Castillo: how you're supposed to move. Just shut the fuck up. That's my People want to know. What's my what's the best advice you can give someone to love to someone going on Love Island? Shut the fuck Let's sit down. Gillian Griffin: Just focus on your couple. Say something when it pertains to you. I don't know. I just I'm exhausted. I'm just glad that again Kevin seems to have Jasmine's back more. Samraj seems to have Mika's back. It Marissa Castillo: they said that they loved each other. Let's not forget. Gillian Griffin: yeah, see, we've been talking about Yuli all this time. Maya Jamma negged Samraj and Mika into saying that they do love each other. She went, hard each other, are we fine? And they were like, No, I know I'm in love and she's like, I know I'm in love and then Mika made her dolphin noises adorable. Marissa Castillo: I her squeals get me every time. I love Mika. She's so fun, funky, and fresh. Gillian Griffin: Look. Marissa Castillo: And even then, she's she even after she has beef with Yulia, she said that she didn't agree with something about that Priya said about Yulia. You know what I'm saying? Like, she knows. She can play devil's advocate. She has her own opinion. Don't think it's a bandwagon thing. It's not. If if there's a clear consensus that someone is a problem, you should look at it as someone is a problem. Gillian Griffin: Also, Simba at the the the knowing me, knowing you game, you were on the anti-Yulia bandwagon at that point when it was literally everyone in the villa versus her who was like, just stop. Like, come on. I just if you people give this girl fame and fortune beyond her wildest dreams for acting an absolute fool, I just I can't let's see. Last time I checked, she hadn't even hit a hundred K. Marissa Castillo: I lose faith in humanity for the United Kingdom. Gillian Griffin: Okay, now she has gone up to 122k followers on Instagram. Let's see, Jasmine Love Island. Marissa Castillo: Jesus. Gillian Griffin: Just checking the facts. Marissa Castillo: Well everyone is like you guys are so mad she's giving her opinion. It's Gillian Griffin: Jasmine is four thousand people away from having half a million followers on Instagram right now. Marissa Castillo: Okay. See? Gillian Griffin: Like let's see, Priya Love Island. Marissa Castillo: Te sasses I don't know. I'm so over her. And she's gonna make it to the end. Gillian Griffin: Ooh. Priya is unpopular. She's at ninety two K. Marissa Castillo: Well, we know that. She's unpopular with us as well. She's a toss up. Gillian Griffin: Listen, she moves a little weird and Robin really R Robin really torpedoed her when she came out of the villa after a couple days and said, She's she's whatever. Like she's the she's the biggest Love Island fan, whatever, Mega fan, not there for the right reasons. Marissa Castillo: I wonder where Yulia got her narrative from. Gillian Griffin: Literally a couple people other people said it. Yasmin's only at 130, which is just a little bit more than Yulia. Where is Marissa Castillo: I don't know why Tommy was so butthurt this episode either. Gillian Griffin: Mm. Marissa Castillo: Like I said, I just wish he would just stay quiet. He did a Gillian Griffin: Can y'all wake up? Why does Angelista not even have fifty thousand followers? Marissa Castillo: Something smells fishy over there. Gillian Griffin: Cause I've looked at Jasmine Summer and I know her number has just been going up and up and up and up and up. Mika Marissa Castillo: I wanna also touch upon the fact that Lorenzo is a very smart man and can call it when he sees it and is just saying the things about Kavan Jasmine that we're all thinking and God bless him for it. Gillian Griffin: He's just he's adding fuel to that fire though. I thought he would shut up. Out of a sense Marissa Castillo: I don't care. Gillian Griffin: of no no no, I don't care. I love it, but ooh, Lorenzo, you Kevin's having a conversation with you later. I know you you shouldn't be scared and you're not scared, but boy, you just poured gasoline onto the narrative about you and Jasmine. Like gasoline. What is this cat doing? Marissa Castillo: Necessarily think that. I mean, if Gillian Griffin: Excuse me. Marissa Castillo: if he if Kavin thinks that that's where Lorenzo is coming from, that's Kevin's own fault, and that's his insecurities. Lorenzo is speaking facts. There are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration when they move on the outside. And Gillian Griffin: Mm-hmm. Marissa Castillo: he's he's not wrong. He feels he said, I feel like. Gillian Griffin: He said, You're strong in the villa outside. Mm? Huh? Marissa Castillo: He said, I feel like there could be insecurities on the outside. And he's right. When you you they live completely different lives. Gillian Griffin: Yeah. Yeah. And also like the fact that I agree, I wouldn't I would not be shocked if Kavan got butthurt and cheated on Jasmine. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be that surprised. Marissa Castillo: I wouldn't either. Gillian Griffin: Cause first of all, he basically already did it. And you try to plan Christmas vacation to New York with that girl. So I'm just saying what I've always said, which is Jasmine is about to take flight into the sky and be a giant, phenomenal shooting star. And I don't know that he can handle it. I don't know. If we had him on the podcast, I'd go, Kavan, are you aware that Jasmine is going to be so famous? And do so well. She's so smart. She clearly has a mind for business. She has a fashion brand. Like when her star rises, are you going to be okay with that? Like are you gonna be able to be there Marissa Castillo: I Gillian Griffin: for her even when even if she becomes the major breadwinner in the relationship? Marissa Castillo: I'm not sure. Gillian Griffin: Are you comfortable with that? Are you cool with that? Indeed not. And Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: is that the tea? Marissa Castillo: Well, we said Priya and Aiden are going home. I'd be really shocked if Mika and Sam Rosh went home. That's all I'll say. That's the T. Gillian Griffin: People please go vote. You're all so weird about Mita. I just don't understand. I've never seen someone so hated and it not it literally make no sense. Marissa Castillo: Mm. Gillian Griffin: Like it doesn't make sense anymore. It doesn't make sense anymore. I just also like I can't compute these numbers. Jasmine had a hundred thousand followers when she went into the villa. She's about to walk out with half a million. And All the other girls are not even touching 150K. Like usually people are at like 200 or 300K coming out of the show. Who what's Ellie at? Marissa Castillo: No clue. No clue. Gillian Griffin: Yeah, Ellie's at four hundred thousand. Jasmine has overtaken her. Marissa Castillo: If that doesn't give you ammunition to show you that Jasmine is a powerhouse, then we love Jasmine in this house. Gillian Griffin: Get together. We love you. I'm sorry that Yulia's Marissa Castillo: Trying. Gillian Griffin: taking up so much oxygen for this podcast, but it's just getting unhinged. Marissa Castillo: She's taking so much oxygen for the villa. She's unhinged. Gillian Griffin: I just need someone to like actually check her. I really need her to be humbled. Marissa Castillo: Did you see what I sent you? About how she looked like Eliza Thornberry? Gillian Griffin: No, I don't see that. Marissa Castillo: Just me then. Gillian Griffin: She looks like someone, but I can't put my finger on it. Marissa Castillo: Either way. That's the tea. I'm so sick of her. Gillian Griffin: That's the tea. Thanks for listening.

I would love to know because honestly I just see someone who's terrorizing the villa and I'm having a hard time not seeing anything else now.
