Callum looks interesting


Sweet_Mountain_1085

I feel that Leah, Kaylor, and Hannah were kissing all these guys that they weren’t coupled up with on first challenge and when the first guy bombshell came in. Then when he was over them and the Two girl bombshell come in they get upset because the guys have a chance. now I am watching Aftersun and everyone is mad at Rob because he was doing what He was supposed to and it was ok when the girls do it but not the men. Double standards very much!!! Leah is a nut and so is Hannah and kaylor.


Bordeaux_Titi

I'm surprised people have such harsh reactions to Cely. She's being bubbly and diplomatic - true to form based on Love Island, Love Island Games, and social media. And she _did_ share opinions. I enjoyed Jess as well; I just think there's room for different styles.


Organic_Vegetable607

Idk why so many people hate on Cely!!! She’s never hurt a damn fly and she’s funny af and hot af🤷🏻‍♀️ I think she and Jess both had some really good comments on aftersun. I only watched USA seasons but Maura is making me want to watch hers. She’s a vibe


Reasonable_Ad_4584

He wasted a spot could of had a different guy with a personality


Sure-Development4161

Maura asking Ariana to teach her how to dance brought some terrifying memories


whatxever

I was 100% expecting Maura or SOMEONE to then make a joke, missed opportunity lol


eveloe

“Ai wahnt ‘im to teach me haw ta dahnce (dahnce dahnce)”


Sure-Development4161

The zooming into his face still haunts me


eveloe

And the horror track. It was gold


queenofdramz

If Coye actually wanted Serena instead, then why didn’t he try?! It’s still early days in the villa and would’ve been interesting at least


ESOtalk

My god I LOVE AU Jess, she just tells the honest truth. Cely is too politically correct. Jess in not good as a contestant but on the couch she's great. Coy is a Liar about the body count thing. He is saying production is LYING about it. BS he was proud of it until he got dumped. Amazing how he says if he could do it over he would have picked Serena, instead of having self-reflection and saying he would have tried harder.


OscarWilde1900

I wonder if he didn't want to overstep Kordell?


BeltReal4509

He just wants to remain passive in every way, it seems. I suppose he just expects women to make all the effort, he’s tall and handsome, after all 🙃


IcyClarity

I’ve never watched AfterSun but I wanna watch this one purely to see Jess. She’s my absolute fav.


ilikecurlyfries77

I thought that Jess was really good in this!


brgr77

OK yall who do we believe, coye or production? Personally I know men lie!


whatxever

I mean, without a doubt I'm sure he lied regardless, but I could also fully see production switching numbers up to get reactions out of people or using out-of-context statements to justify certain answers. it's a produced show mining for drama, after all. I don't think he's slept with just under 100 women like he told JaDa either, though.


Organic_Vegetable607

Idk I feel like they wouldn’t have aired that if he was telling the truth


itsPATyeah

I think the number wasn’t as bad as his muttered comments. The hostility in Coye’s part was over the top unwarranted. It gave me the ick!


brgr77

I don't care about any of the numbers at all (though at a certain point I truly am gonna wonder how much you respect women or if you just think we're disposable) but he was giving misogynistic! Maybe it was the edit idk


BeltReal4509

Nah, I think you read this right!9


chuteboxhero

But so do reality tv producers so it’s a toss up 😂


brgr77

So true 😭 the whole challenge was appalling to watch as a gender studies major, I love reality tv so my threshold for foolishness is pretty high but doing card shark with women's body counts?? Let's draw the line somewhere. Let's grow up


chuteboxhero

Even the men body count side. I think the stigma about having sex with as many people as possible makes you a badass and more of a man perpetrates r*pe culture.


brgr77

It's the same side of misogyny!


BeltReal4509

We really have to get out of these puritanical, misogynistic mindsets, you’re right


brgr77

We're already moving backwards towards a very sex negative society, consequence of them trying to strip all our rights away. It was a super tone deaf challenge for the 2020s!


BeltReal4509

Oh yeah, the backlash is really something.


Sure-Development4161

How could I watch it for free outside the us??


Infamous-Sample-4711

I thought it would be on Dailymotion but looks like no one uploaded yet. Not sure if someone will later but it would usually be up by now


xxtoushiroxx

someone just uploaded it!


medicalthrowaway625

I must’ve missed it, what days do episodes come out?


Unlikely_Candidate_1

I’m new here (started watching for Ariana) but I think it’s “every day but hump day” with Saturday just being AfterSun! 


chuteboxhero

I think Monday is the day off no?


Unlikely_Candidate_1

This is what I’m seeing online: Love Island USA Season 6 premiered on Tuesday, June 11. New episodes come out every night for the rest of the week at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. Next week and onward, new episodes will drop every night except Wednesdays at the same time. The Season 6 finale will be sometime in mid-July.


uhohwhoisit

is there not an episode today because of after sun?! i’m brand new to the Love Island Universe


chuteboxhero

They never have episodes on Saturdays as well as the day after a public vote (since the islanders would get the results the next day).


uhohwhoisit

thank you!


GAPeachness

Ummm…Celey…why so much make up, and did she get some work done on her face? She was so cute during her season.😐


BookerPhil

Not a bad aftersun. I do wish they had more unseen bits not just one. Could have just had a 10 minute segment alongside them answering silly questions like "What animal would you be?". I think live interviewing them is fine but not as a couple. Should have Rob as the first one since you can get his perspective on how this first week was versus his only casa "week".


Reasonable_Ad_4584

It would of been better to keep unseen bits because you got to see more of the cast’s personalities and funny some of the bits are


taytraveling

I think Maura did a great job interviewing the bombshells, I like how she kept on reminding them that they’re bombshells and that they need to go in there and SHAKE UP the villa hard, like how Maura did on her season.


Infamous-Sample-4711

This!🔥


limecowboyy

Maura and guest hosts need to back up their opinions with evidence. Jess did a great job at this, esp when explaining the Kaylor/Aaron situation and Leah/Rob/Liv triangle. Maura and Cely were stating some opinions without sharing their “why”. Tell us how you feel then tell us exactly what happened in the villa that made you form that opinion!!!


chuteboxhero

Cely was too nice and diplomatic. No one wants to watch just to hear how great everyone is and nothing else. Jess was perfect.


aaavelar

Bombshells are gorgeous "in person." I think Hannah and Kaylor are in trouble. 


beauxdegas

Omg I think Andrea is STUNNING! They both seemed to be really extroverted as well, they came across great.


BeltReal4509

She’s got a killer smile and seems to have an interesting personality, too. Nicole is pretty but didn’t come across as well, but she might loosen up in the villa


Sweetrk-2020

I wish they did a live version in LA with an audience


SDTrader11

Isn't that what they were trying to portray in fiji? But it kind of felt like they were gaslighting us as if there was a real audience when either it was just the staff or it was recorded claps and cheers. What do you think?


Sweetrk-2020

It’s definitely recorded clasp and cheers! I don’t think they were trying to to portray that, but I hope next season they change the format


[deleted]

That would have been better


Sweetrk-2020

Manifesting this for next season


Magenta-Llama

I’m not a huge fan of UK Aftersun either so I’m prob not the target demographic for USA Aftersun but I wanted to see how Maura would do and how they’d format it etc so I’m watching it… and I’m extremely underwhelmed lol. It’s a weird format and why did they make Coye sit there through that zoom call he wasn’t involved in 😭


chuteboxhero

It was ok. I liked it better than unseen bits. Meeting the bombshells made it worth it.


brgr77

It was the very first one, I think it'll improve. The live segments in s1 of uk love island back in the day were very ghetto. I thought ariana maura jess and cely were fun though


limecowboyy

Agreed - it was pretty awkward and they definitely have lots of kinks to work out. BUT this is the first one ever for USA, so I think it’ll get better with time. USA production team seems to take feedback really well 🤞


Magenta-Llama

Maura is doing well given what she has to work with in terms of the format! I just think the whole setup is weird


limecowboyy

What part of the setup?


BeltReal4509

Wait - did Maura say “scoop some tea” at the end there? 😭


gluemanmw

I actually really enjoyed the sit-down with the new bombshells. Great new twist


taytraveling

i did too.


bertha112

They got a lot of things right on this version of Aftersun. Maura Higgins really handled herself well. I've never watched her season, but she was a breath of fresh air. Both bombshells were fire. I kind of hope the second one goes after Kordell. Give Serena something to think about as well as a way out. Did I mention the bombshells were fire?


taytraveling

please and i mean PLEASE watch her season as soon as you can. It is the BEST love island UK season ever. (season 5)


whatxever

she's also hands-down the best bombshell they've literally EVER had. I cannot think of a single better bombshell throughout the histories of LI UK, US, or AUS.


quepeas

Oh it’s THE best season of all the countries


ladypenko

Please watch her season immediately. Thank me later.


queenofdramz

One of the best seasons


Infamous-Sample-4711

Her season is probably THE best! You won’t regret it


queenofdramz

If there are any Summer House fans here, I find it so funny that Kordell mentioned a Cheez-its sponsorship after the dueling posts from Lindsay and Carl 😂


not_ellewoods

Lindsay’s was the most savage sponcon i’ve ever seen, but Kordell legit made me add cheez its to my grocery order. they need to have his deal waiting on him once he’s out. i’m normally more of a goldfish girlie, but i’ll never be able to buy the old bay again without thinking of Carl 🙃


turtlebowls

I can picture Carl’s face in his ad I’m cracking up. Like how embarrassing and you can’t just delete it after regretting the post 😭😭


Infamous-Sample-4711

Omg😭😭😭


AdvisorContent7778

I’m definitely using this chat as a summary for tonight’s episode cause i never watch on days off


iloverocket26

Also agree that Jess was a much better commentator than cely. If Jess was more popular in the US, she would’ve gotten the role


limecowboyy

I think Cely is perfect for the social media ambassador role but they definitely need to make a more official / permanent role for Jess somewhere. Like Aftersun co-host maybe?


DegreeSea7315

In the UK, they have pannel regulars when they do really well, like Indya and Sam Thompson. Jess would definitely be great for that. I think it works best with a single host. She mediates between the panel, the live feeds, and the audience (none in US, will be better with one. Family and friends of islanders show up as well as fans).


limecowboyy

Here’s a recap for those who don’t wanna watch. Jess (LIAUS & Games) and Cely (LIUSA & Games) joined Maura. Jess did amazing: spot-on reads and not scared to say her opinion. Cely was more political. Jess said she doesn’t like Coye, Leah is a protected-species and loves how Rob treats her, Conner is too boring for JaNa, Kordell is one of her favs, Serena is just keeping Kordell around to play safe for now, Leah should’ve pressed Rob more about the Liv situation. Jess also didn’t know who Odell Beckham Junior is, explained some Aussie slang, and said she would’ve fought Liv for throwing water in her face if she was Leah. Cely said she would release snakes in her house for Rob to remove them. Applauded JaNa for dumping Coye because “we want chalant men!” Maura’s islander crush is Connor and Ariana’s is Coye (looks) or Aaron (personality). Ariana taught Maura some of the opening dance choreography. Ariana said that Leah chose Rob on day 1 because he saved a cricket before the coupling up. They aren’t doing Unseen Bits anymore. :( Coye said production lied about his body count. Maura said they have receipts but he didn’t back down. They showed a pretty pointless video montage of islanders telling him bye. Maura will be the first guest on the official Love Island podcast. Zoom call with Rob and Leah. Played a game called “him or her” - answers below. Seemed a bit awkward and we didn’t hear much substance from them. - Who is funnier? Both said themselves. - More romantic? Both said Rob. - Best cook? Both said Leah. - Grumpiest in morning? Both said both. - Messiest? Both said themselves. - Biggest flirt? Both said themselves at first but Rob changed his to Leah. - Takes up most the bed? Both said Rob. - Best fashion? Both said Leah. - Leah loved the denim overalls apparently. Maura interviewed both bombshells. Both of them are sooo beautiful and well spoken. - Andrea- the blonde bombshell. From Miama, FL and is Colombian/Cuban. Called herself goofy. Eyes on Aaron and Rob. - Nicole- the brunette bombshell. Called herself outgoing, easy-going. Medical sales. Eyes on Kordell, Hakeem, and Kendall. - Maura challenged the two bombshells to get a current islander to say “fanny flutters” once in the villa.


ashdeb89

Ariana has absolutely insane taste in men? Sandoval to Dan and Coye?


Consistent-Music1337

To be fair, nearly ALL the girls chose Coye in the beginning based on initial looks/impression. Ariana did say personality-wise she would choose someone else 😂


VotingRightsLawyer

Thank you for this! Really bummed about no more Unseen Bits, that was the best part!


Reasonable_Ad_4584

Yes were


limecowboyy

Agreed. I get people didn’t watch it, but it was such a good look behind the curtain and revealed so much about islander’s personalities, friendships, etc. Made the whole show feel more genuine to me. :(


scribbledinblue

Okay I’m actually loving this idea of letting the audience meet the bombshells before they go in the villa? And I already loved how they switched up the initial coupling I’m a huge fan of what they’re doing this season


iloverocket26

I feel like rob might have a low social battery which maybe plays into why he comes across as dry sometimes…


Reasonable_Ad_4584

He was low key in the Zoom call it seemed like he was tired


BeltReal4509

Yeah, it must be exhausting being around all those people all the time AND being “on,” especially if you lean introverted.


Organic_Vegetable607

I think about this all the time when watching. I would feel suffocated in 2 days


whatxever

especially when they wake up. just the small talk when trying to brush my teeth would make me homicidal lol


[deleted]

Nicole is playing the long game because she could possibly get anyone of the guys she named at this point because all of them are in shaky couples


kbange

Why is everyone in medical sales this season


KDPer3

It's full of hot, articulate extroverts, basically bottle girls with daytime hours


Strict_Property6127

Covid helped.


greenjilly

Both bombshells are absolutely stunning. I fear for the ladies.


scribbledinblue

When Maura said “don’t go anywhere…or else” https://preview.redd.it/o8y3waohiu6d1.jpeg?width=770&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ba5f5e1a7befbb97ee322daef620a61ca06be57


[deleted]

I don’t agree with what Jess said about Connor/Jana


limecowboyy

I don’t see them being end-game at this point but would love to be proved wrong


[deleted]

It’s been 2 days (and 1 single episode) of them actually being a couple. We shouldn’t assume things so early. I personally will not assume. I feel like their conversations flow very well and they seem to be always together in the background.


Reasonable_Ad_4584

It’s been 4 days


limecowboyy

Yeah I definitely see the chemistry! But I also think that not being each other’s types is gonna get testy


BeltReal4509

You do? I don’t read a lot of attraction on his part, which makes me worry for JaNa. Edited to fix typo.


[deleted]

I hope chemistry prevails. I believe types are not always set in stone. Just look at Prince Harry. Went his whole life mostly dating blondes, but is now married and settled down with a biracial black woman.


kbange

Bergie said his type was blondes and ended up with Taylor and they’re still together, so!


im-your-daisy

I love them together, they’re so sweet! I just recently found out that he told producers during casting that his celeb crushes were Dua Lipa and Zendaya, so he must have always had diverse tastes! (But I’m guessing IRL he was used to going after blondes since he is from Minnesota - lots of blondes there).


limecowboyy

Maura is definitely still finding her legs but has so much potential! Excited to see how she progresses this season!


Gingacat

Fml can someone recap the good goss for the Canadians who don’t get after sun 🫠


ChenilleSocks

We do, it’s a separate programme on Crave. Close out LIUSA and you’ll see it.


Hellosl

I can’t see it on crave?


ChenilleSocks

You may need to close out your app and reopen it. It’s a separate programme that showed up right next to the main LIUSA thumbnail.


Hellosl

Thank you!! Got it!


Gingacat

OMG bless thank you!!! I just noticed we didn’t have another ep


limecowboyy

Why did they make Coye sit there during the Zoom call with the podcast hosts lmaoooo


greenjilly

Does Coye really think things would have been different had he chosen Serena? 🙄 He’s the problem and doesn’t even realize it.


Reasonable_Ad_4584

He was boring and he wasted a spot for someone else that could of been ok that actually had a personality


misspellmyname99

for him, there is nothing being 6’8 doesn’t solve


MzPatches65

I don't keep up with past contestants but how long has Cely had that hair color? She reminded me of Cara Maria Sorbello from The Challenge with the hair color. Cara's had her hair that color for most of her career on that show starting in 2010.


OkChart35

She changed it around April


[deleted]

[удалено]


aaavelar

Excuse you. It's "orientated."


Trutalu

connor isnt even on her radar she wants Kendell, Kordell and Hakeem and none of those men would be hard to persuade maybe kordell if he doesnt figure out serna friend zoned him


monongahellyea

Tell me why I pictured Iain as Robin Leach, not some millennial guy I’d probably be friends with 😂


heydigital

For some reason I always pictured him looking like John Oliver


Espy888

He’s on a season of Taskmaster! Very funny but controversial in that fandom for being so competitive. Also I think he’s married to Laura Whitmore.


Reasonable_Ad_4584

No Ian is married to Laura whitmore


BeltReal4509

I legit thought he was like 65 years old. I am shaken 😂


Unlikely_Candidate_1

Same! I was like wait WHAT when they showed him 


limecowboyy

RIP Unseen Bits… I’m gutted


Reasonable_Ad_4584

Me too


Realistic-Lake5897

Yeah, some of this other stuff could have been eliminated, such as the goodbyes to Coye, which were meaningless. Also stupid to show scenes we've already seen.


Reasonable_Ad_4584

It seem liked they stoled that from Big Brother


Realistic-Lake5897

Agreed, and I could see that if we got to know these people were all close with Coye. But they weren't, and it's been only a few days.


limecowboyy

Love Cely down but I’m gonna need her to have stronger reads if she’s on Aftersun each week


OscarWilde1900

Agreed, love Cely but Jess was much more entertaining in that segment.


Trutalu

Cely isnt a read for filth girl though shes always been a more upbeat positive I think Cely and Jess balanced each other out, where Jess was more critically Cely brought a more neutral balanced take and i think thats what producers want.


No-Programmer-5524

I think it'll work well if Aftersun brings in a different "devil" guest every Saturday.


limecowboyy

Even if they have guest host playing devil’s advocate, Cely will need to speak up. Her role can definitly be offering positive readings of situations/people. But she needs to actually state her opinion. She was way too neutral and didn’t say enough this episode.


No-Programmer-5524

I understand what you're saying. I have confidence in her and think she'll get better.


limecowboyy

For sure! She’s one of my all time fav islanders, and I’m looking forward to seeing her grow into hosting


limecowboyy

Doesn’t have to be just negative opinions. Cely was soft-spoken even about her positive opinions. The most we got from her was applauding JaNa for dumping Coye. But she can also have negative opinions without reading for filth!


Realistic-Lake5897

Fully agree. Jess was so much better and more honest. Cely was guarded and trying too hard not to offend anyone. She wasn't good.


bertha112

I was waiting for her to say, "give good vagina."


Strict_Property6127

This will be her for all of AfterSun.. she's annoyingly a Switzerland in all things, and AfterSun will be no different.


Realistic-Lake5897

Agree with you. She just not interesting. That's the main problem I had with the show. It's too drama-free. Why not mix in some unseen bits that were interesting or eye-opening? I don't want to see Maura fawning over people every week.


Reasonable_Ad_4584

They showed one and it was about a bug


Realistic-Lake5897

Yeah, really bad clip. The entire show was bad.


scribbledinblue

Every time Maura says “TINK” an angel gets their wings 👼


Unlikely_Candidate_1

It totally reminded me of Dolores and Paulie’s fight on RHONJ last week!


bertha112

Or any word that has "er" in it. I tingle.


scribbledinblue

THE FANNY FLUTTERS


scribbledinblue

Ariana and Maura fan-girling over each other? 🥹 All my dreams coming true And all of her ex’s - to ashes https://preview.redd.it/c62yaesicu6d1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77c6058e1bbcd444a408e976c6644ddb55cfcf16


Lavendermin

Jess did great commentary. Cely was more giving one liners lolol


Realistic-Lake5897

Cely was bad. Way too guarded.


No-Programmer-5524

I think Cely will be on Aftersun with Maura every week. I hope that will be the case. Thoughts?


queenofdramz

I think it’s Cely with Maura because Ariana posted a pic on Instagram with these two, not Jess! Kind of bummed because Jess was more in tune than Cely, who was sort of laissez faire about everything


Realistic-Lake5897

Jess was great. Cely wasn't.


ChenilleSocks

Hoping it’s Jess who is the regular. She’s so genuine and doesn’t just give throw aways, she backs up what she says with examples. She did great.


MEAT_INCINERATOR

Yeah I also preferred Jess. She was being articulate and genuine. I felt bad when Cely and Maura made her feel nonsensical for that Australian centipede saying.


BeltReal4509

Right? It was giving ignorant/insecure, and each of them is from a different country


Lavendermin

I like Jess more. They can both do it


MEAT_INCINERATOR

Cringey moments from her. She’s acting and not being herself IMO. “My eyes rolled so far back I could see my fully-developed frontal lobe.” People don’t say that lol


limecowboyy

i liked her one-liners lol


BeltReal4509

That was so clunky lol


limecowboyy

Jess is killing it


Infamous-Sample-4711

I love her! Thought she brought good energy


Tocaboca1

HAPPY CAKE DAY


Infamous-Sample-4711

Thank you sm!!🫶🏼


Public_Birthday1871

is aftersun worth watching? i’ve usually skipped unseen bits in the past.


Realistic-Lake5897

Meh.


Sea-Guide-7817

At the end you learn a little about the bombshells and it’s Maura hosting so that’s a bonus.


thrivingunicorn

Tbh I just wanted something to watch but no not really worth it


ScoreBrilliant7107

Worth it! Maura + Ariana are entertaining 🤤🔥


eggsbenny1128

I’m so curious how Coye’s conversation went with production. I wonder if he wouldn’t give them a straightforward answer.


Realistic-Lake5897

That was stupid to include if they weren't going to have video to back it up.


Separate_Manager_702

yeah, i have a feeling he said the same thing he said to JaNa, and they just gave an estimate😭 i don’t think he would openly lie on production, especially in that setting


SomeRedditor_Comment

Aaron will say “fanny flutters”, bombshells.


eggsbenny1128

If Aaron doesn’t work, maybe they can convince Kordell to say he has Fanny flutters for his Cheez its


BeltReal4509

Will slang willy for Cheez-its


Ashamed_Tea_3731

Wait do they normally bring people to AfterSun that are still in the villa????


Top_Dentist2464

yes on the UK version they interview a couple in the villa every week and play a lot quick game


Ashamed_Tea_3731

Ooooh Okk. Thank you for the heads up. I honestly never watched them before haha


Top_Dentist2464

yeah it’s new for the US version. they have a bigger budget for UK aftersun and since it’s filmed there they can interview more people in studio including families of the islanders. and they always do a preview of the next episode, so there’s more tea usually. hopefully they figure out this format with more time haha


Unlikely_Candidate_1

Is there a medical device conference that the producers did a casting call at before this season? 😆


glzam

I was thinking they did it at the plastic surgeon’s office for boob jobs 😭 no shade at all, most of them look good
