0:20I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday. Today I am joined by Juliette Porter. I'm so excited that you're here. Juliette is from Siesta Key. Originally, now you're like a Miami Swirly. But I watch every episode of every season of Siesta Key. So this means so much to me. Welcome to The Toast, Juliette. Thank you for having me. It's been years. It's been years. You did come on The Breath once and The Toast once. Yes. So first it was the morning breath. Right, right. The morning breath. You came on like virtually. I remember you were like still in college like with your friends. I was 20.

0:56Yeah. And you like zoomed in. Yes. And we were excited. That was during the first season. That was. Was that the first season? I think so. Yeah, 2017. 2017. That was the year of the breath. It's been so long. It's been so long. But then you also came on the toast pink backdrop with Kelsey. Maybe some boys. But like I remember you and Kelsey. You guys used to do like reality stars a lot, right? Yeah, we used to do sometimes like an interview a day. like maybe like three to five interviews a week with like guests coming through that like stopped during covid when like people wouldn't come into the studio anymore and then you could do like zoom interviews but like we don't know is that like harder for you guys to do and now it's just like you're chilling like it's just kind of more fun this way maybe yeah we definitely like forced us to pivot but like doing zoom interviews was like really the worst that was like a really low time i don't and like there's always a lag and then i remember like i've done a bunch of them my earrings always hit like my airpods it's just like their audio or their they can't hear us or they can't wear headphones so we're echoing it's just like a nightmare so then we were like we'll only do in-person guests but it took a while for in-person guests to happen again so claudia and i just got used to like doing it ourselves and we just kind of like beefed up the rest of the show and it was just like it all happened very naturally um so now we don't do a lot of guests but now for jackson friends i get to invite my friends and how long is this going on for so this is the she's like having her sweet time she's taking her recovering this is actually the last full week of jackson friends and i this is our fifth week which it's been so much fun i have so many good guests this week starting with you we have so much to talk about because i need to catch up with you juliet is also caught up on love island as am i after fifth and final story will lead into the tv recap we're gonna try and sit on our hands so we don't like you know just go off right now but like so many thoughts so many thoughts no i the first thing i said when i walked in I was like are we talking about this yeah we need to we know we'll wait we'll wait we'll wait and the good news is I have like so many questions for you that I'm also bursting with so I can wait on love island how are you doing how's life post siesta life is good I actually wanted to tell you a story because I forgot about this when I think it was 2018 I did come on the toast and in classic Claudia fashion she said something kind of like out of pocket I think she said something about Kelsey's mom and I was like no totally it was it was like kind of catty just a little catty okay but it got back to the cast that me and Claudia were like talking about Kelsey's mom Kelsey was pissed everyone was like you're such a bitch like why would you talk about her mom that's her mom on the show it on like live on the toast it was like you could watch it okay and it turned into like this huge fight on Siesta Key but because it was like breaking the fourth wall we had to spin it like I was mad at a boy like a boy did something we were screaming at each other over the toast oh my gosh drama the tea that's so dramatic I think in reality tv to try to keep the outside world out of your fights I agree and I feel like now in reality tv producers are just sort of embracing that like we see that with right Mormon wives where they talk about contract negotiations I feel like even on siesta key that like first season fight between Chloe and Amanda yeah about the nose about the nose that was about what they said it was about like chipotle yeah well yes no i think it was they were just wasted honestly all the fights on siesta kiwi were just blackout drunk which i don't think happens on tv as much anymore am i wrong i don't know i feel like when i re-watched laguna beach i realized like they're all just drunk and they're just like they're like 16 so they're drunk off like two drinks no and everything's like red cups But also when we watched it growing up, like I didn't realize that's what's in their cups.

4:31But now when I'm watching, I'm like, oh, you guys are just being drunk. I mean, I was illegally drinking the first like three years of Siesta Key. How old were you when you started Siesta Key? So we shot the pilot when I was 17. And then I went to college and it didn't get picked up by MTV till I was 18 or 19. OK. And then we filmed till I was 25. So like the entirety of my early 20s were on reality TV, which is kind of crazy. That is really crazy. And you were in college for a lot of Siesta Key. Do you ever feel like dropping out because you're like, I'm a big star? I thought about it for like a second.

5:03Yeah, that's so immature. No, I'm so glad that you did it. And it really worked. They really worked around your filming schedule. They would film in the summer because summer in Siesta Key is like no other. Exactly. You get it. But it's hot. And it's really like there's a lot of other places I would have. In hindsight, it's like probably winter in Siesta Key is the best. Is the best. Summer probably everyone leaves. Exactly. Well, it's not as bad as like Miami. Like especially I hang out with like some of these people in Miami. They're gone all winter. Like everyone's in the Hamptons right now.

5:30Yeah. Like that would have made more sense. Right. Summer in the Hamptons is like no other. Summer House. Yeah. You should be on Summer House. That's what I do every day here. I talk to people and convince them to go on Summer House. I was just listening to the Tyler episode. You and Tyler should go on Summer House. So my old producer on Siesta Key was the casting director last year for Summer House. I did a whole Summer House interview. like good it took me like three hours they didn't go with me I don't know why maybe they didn't like me or maybe I had already been in this world and I think I think they went with Lexi instead I don't know if that's how it worked but if she was like the choice over you and Bailey which she didn't even make it through the season so I think it's safe to say they made the wrong choice and that I would like to nominate Nate Juliet again yeah I mean I feel like I'm pretty good at reality TV I feel like you'd be great on summer house and you want to get out of Florida for the summer I I think like even someone was saying like Jesse lives in Florida.

6:22He's my neighbor. Oh, he lives literally next door to me. Have you guys ever date him? He's not my type. I don't tell him that he's like on the inside or the outside. Both. I don't really know him that well, but he did. He like went on a date with my friend. I mean, it would have worked like I'm kind of friends with Paige. Like we have a lot of mutuals. I feel like no, you would be great. And I went to the Dominican Republic together a few years ago. We went snorkeling. we got caught in like a massive wave we had to hide under the benches we were getting seasick it was like a whole thing we could have brought it up yeah it would have worked but I mean they kind of wanted me to live in New York like that's a thing and I was like fine I will move to New York I was like I'm down yeah or at least for the summer and then go out on the weekends yeah I feel like it's probably good you weren't cast last season because everyone who was cast is like fired and they're re-jiggering the whole thing so like I don't know maybe your time will come yeah I did end up doing a different show like a month after I got denied from summer house someone else called me to do another like an alumni reality show yes I don't know I'm not I've signed an NDA okay but literally I'm telling you in several days I will be able to talk about this but unfortunately okay at the end of the week I'm not gonna push you I respect up a binding legal agreement yes Did you enjoy your time on that show?

7:42You know, gosh, it was, let me just tell you, it was different than Siesta Key, where I, especially towards the end of Siesta Key, I did whatever I wanted. Like, it was kind of, we got to create our own schedule. It was based off of our life, what was going on. This was not like that. Yeah, this was probably like all people together in a sitch. But it was definitely a good experience. Okay, good. Does it make you want to do more of that sort of reality television? I would love to do Traders. Right. I want to do something that's like thought based, you know, or your mind, like a mind game, not a physical game.

8:14And I want to go to Scotland. Sounds cool. And do you want to do something that's like love based, like The Bachelor? I don't know. I feel like I have a hard time taking that stuff seriously. Yeah. Like, I just don't know if people are in it for the right intentions. And I have I've been single for like two years now. I think the longer you're single, your standards go up a lot, almost to a fault. And I just like I don't know if I want to be with a reality TV person, which is saying a lot because I'm a reality TV person. I 100 % I wouldn't want to be with a podcast. Or like it's too close to home.

8:48It's too close to home. And like you see how the sauce is made and like. Right. And I think that I don't want to be with my personality type as much. As you shouldn't be opposite to track. And you've dated reality stars from like being on Siesta Key. They were automatically. And then, of course, like Robbie. I have trauma. Oh, my God. Never forget. Oh, my God. Never forget. Oh, my God. I was just talking about this the other day too. What were you saying? How do you look back on it? Well, okay, there's – okay, you know what's funny? So when I started to get the ick from him – I mean, we dated for like two months.

9:18Like nothing crazy. I started to get the ick, and so I told him I was sick. I was like lying to him. I was like, I don't feel good. I don't feel good. So he sent me a care package full of like medicine and like tissues. And one of them was – he put little notes on each item, and one of them was vitamin C. and it was like because you're already getting that vitamin D. And it was just like maybe some people would think that was cute. I don't think that's cute. It all sounded cute up until that note, that one note. But even when you start to get the ick, like there's no going back. No, and like the more they do for you, like the ickier it gets.

9:50Like the thing to do is to retreat a little bit. Absence just makes the heart grow fonder. Exactly. But in his defense, like I told him I was sick. I was completely lying to him. Right, right. But that's crazy. You only dated two months and he like came on the show. And is he from the key right there? He had like a history with Alex lived in Sarasota. I don't even remember. It's been a long time. Yeah. I never forget. It's weird going back. Siesta key has no fans. I'm dead. And if Julia Porter has no fans, I'm dead. You are always my number one. Like, you know what? I was thinking that I feel like you guys will voice your opinions about who is it the other day?

10:27Like Ari. What's his name? Arik. Tariq. Tariq. but I feel like I never ever got any heat even when I did because I've done some bad things no the thing is it's like we'll like we'll watch the show whatever and sometimes I just like have my favorites for whatever reason like I just relate to someone or I just I love them I'm rooting for them and it's like even if I don't agree with what they've just done like I want more like it's like a friend like I'm not gonna you're not no longer my friend because I didn't like I just want to see it done differently or like I'm still rooting for you I'm just crazy how that happens though like I feel that way about like people in Love Island right now I'm like I like you and nothing's gonna change and I just want the best for you or I don't like you right and nothing's gonna make me like you right and then there are other people who like I really can go back and forth on and they can like make me like them sometimes but just then you you just have like the people that you just feel connected to but you were also like the narrator of the show like it was very much like you were the protagonist and like we were seeing everything like through Juliet's point of view and so even when you were like on the outs with the girls or like all you You were going back to like Alex or whatever.

11:29And that's not what we wanted for you. Like, I don't know. You were just a sympathetic, sympathetic character. Well, what I went through with Alex too was just like, so many girls go through these really toxic, borderline like embarrassing relationships. Like to this day, I still have girls that are, were, are older than I was. And I'm like, what are you doing with him? Like, at least I was 20. Like, I just, it's a really common thing. And I just, yeah, I realized it felt like I wasn't doing anything of value. And I always struggled with that about reality TV. Like, what am I offering the world?

12:00But I was offering someone that people could relate to. And, like, they understood what I was going through. And it's just, you know, your first love. Like, they can do anything. You take them back. It's crazy. No, that was really crazy. And then there was Sam. Yeah, then there was Sam. I was really looking for Juliet and Sam. He, you know, he just wasn't for me. I wish him the best. That's good. He was, yeah, just honestly, like, I feel like any relationship I've had in the past doesn't count. Because it wasn't like. It doesn't feel like anything. My last relationship ended when I was 25, 26.

12:37And that one was not on the show. A little bit. Okay. But they just don't feel like they were real mature adult relationships. So, you know, I'm just like, now I'm at that point in my life where everything, it just doesn't seem like it was real back then. Like, Sam didn't feel real to me. yeah it kind of maybe like feels like a college relationship yeah where it's like surface level yeah and like everything said it's very easy yeah you know he liked that i was there he didn't love me for me i don't think he would have said otherwise but i'm like it just doesn't it feels like you love me being next to you and like me being there for you yeah it's like people with like two like oh we should date so we shall you're here yeah we're in the same room we're in the same friend group like you're so nice which of the girls are you still close with so chloe and i are still very close.

13:18Amanda and I are close, but I haven't lived in Siesta Key, Sarasota, in a couple years. Yeah. So I have like a whole new group of friends now, a whole new life. I started a podcast. You did? Yes. I love it. I love it. At first I was nervous to start it. I was like, what am I going to talk about? Yeah. For an hour every day. It's just so much fun. It's so much fun. I love talking. I see clips from your show. You do it with your friend. Yeah. Sebastian. It's called Don't Be Ridiculous. It's very toasty. Oh. Very giggly squad. Very toasty. It's just so much fun. No, it's really so fun. I'm glad that now you're like a broadcasting pro.

13:55So today's going to be a breeze for you. I love it. I also have my swim line still. JMP the label. JMP the label. JMP the label. JMP the label is like so its own brand that it's like, I mean, it's literally the official swimsuit of Sports Illustrated. Yeah. Oh my God. Thank you for bringing that up, Jackie. Yeah. We were on the cover last year on Hunter McGrady. That's insane. So cool. And we didn't know. Like, they don't tell us. We offer them suits. We give them, like, I don't know, maybe 20 suits every year for either the show or their shoots. And we find out, like, the day of this year, another cover model wore it on the runway.

14:28And I was, like, there. And I was, like, freaking out. Oh, my God. Oh, Lauren Chan. Oh, that is. I can't believe I just remember that. I have a moral memory. I guess just, like, everyone's wearing your swimsuits, which they really are. And you're also, you just did a collab with someone. I did an Uncommon James. Yep. which is we're gonna do some more and I love that um and it's like reality tv Kristen Juliet brilliant but what's so crazy is like JMP is is so successful and I mean the swimsuits all the ones that I've worn I'm not really in like my swimsuit era but like when you first drop them like you there was a cut that was just like made for me which was like really hard because yeah I do I have a lot of moms that listen yeah a lot of mom toasters you have supportive yes tops yes We have a bunch of different style one pieces, highways.

15:13We just have something for everybody. It's not one of those brands where you feel like you have to be super put together or a stick to wear. And I love that. I love it too, but it's so crazy. JMP was born out of the swimsuit wars on CSDK. You and Kelsey both starting swimsuit brands. And it was just kind of drama for the show. No, that was so real. Right. Did at any point when I was watching and I know I said this on the toast like did you guys think about just doing one label like siesta swim? So no. In hindsight it's better that you didn't because like JMP has outlasted siesta key. I mean I think that you have to 100 % you have to very much be selective of who you work with.

15:53Like I take a long time to start things because I had been thinking about doing swimsuit line since basically the show started. But I have to do things right because I won't quit. Once I start like I'm not a quitter. So I've been doing this since, I don't know, halfway through the show. And I have no plans of like just giving up on it because it doesn't feel like it's right. Like it's something I want to really follow through with and I love and I'm passionate about. So it seemed like it came out of, you know, drama. But it was like, no, this is something I'm going to do. Yeah. And like watch me.

16:24No, and just like the timing of it was just like so crazy that you both started Swim Brands like the same episode of the same season. What happened was I was asking around, does anybody know anybody in the swimwear industry? And someone that worked on production knew someone that actually had been manufacturing all of Frankie's and designing for Beach Bunny for years. Like one of and she's my partner now, Jamie. She has been in the world for 30 years. And it just so happened that like I was asking and they told me about her instead of Kelsey. And so it was like just a little I get why she was upset.

17:00like it could have been her that they introduced my partner to got it but it was me they chose you like I had been asking and she hadn't been asking she might have been but they all they they picked me okay and I think at the end of the day like I know both of their personalities it wouldn't have worked the other way got it interesting well you've done really an amazing job with it you oh I have a code for the toasters share it toast 15 for 15 off anything on the site I actually need new swimsuits so I'm going to use that. Wait I sent Claudia this is maybe did she say Bart's? Yes when she went to St.

17:34Bart's I remember you sent her a box to my house. I overnighted her up and it got lost. No it was at my house. But after she left. It got lost in my house. Okay. Don't worry. She had already left I think. Yeah yeah. It was like too late. That's why it got lost in my house because then it was gone. Okay I'm going to make a card maybe um maybe I'll send it to you for for a freebie. No you're good.

And I feel like she, you know, did the classic paparazzi walk out of the car pictures with her hand in site and she's like clearly not wearing her ring when she does always wear it i mean it could mean nothing it could mean nothing i'm i'm pretty anti-justin right now because of vogue i don't like a vogue oh well of course of course that that and all the other things that he's done i mean everything he posts he's still consistently posting just like crazy stuff yeah no embarrassing for her he very embarrassing he also posted something about getting the silent treatment like after this wedding ring thing but like they could be isolated incidents you know so I try not to like read into stuff too much and with standing on business is like oh yeah well I mean that went well for him at least and I understand his frustration with the paparazzi like he's not doing anything he's obviously just wants to be left alone and they won't leave him alone but when it comes to their marriage I just like I don't see how they're in like a happy like a happy marriage at the moment she can't be okay with his constant outbursts yeah and she's acting like she is and I feel for her because she knows that saying anything is going to add fuel to the fire but that's all he's doing he's just creating all this drama and she's trying to put it out by not saying anything but it just kind of makes her look like I don't know weak yeah I don't know but I do think it takes strength to like very much to ride it out you know and obviously like you just someone's being that way you just want to run away but like I you know they have a child together I I think she really like does love him.

24:42And I don't know. On the one hand, like I go back and forth and I always say like on the one hand, it's like, how are these two still married? They're definitely not like. I mean, I imagine like she's like, Justin, like, can you please stop? And he's like, Haley, this is like, I'm doing what this is how I am. This is who I am. I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not. Right. She's just like, OK. Or maybe he's just like going through it at the moment. And so she's like letting him letting him. And like maybe she's traveling and just like kind of ignoring him. That's the strategy. I mean, she just sold road.

25:08I know. Well, she that gives her a lot of power to like do what she actually wants to do. Yeah. Does she own 100 % of road? No. So apparently she has investors and like people were breaking it down and of course trying to like minimize. And so I think maybe she walks away with like 200 million dollars. But like I know when everyone said that I know about this enough to know that there's no way she guys she did not walk away with a billion dollars in her pocket. That's not how things work. But 200 million. Like I think I think that's enough for her like minimum. For sure. I think she's happy with that and she'll continue to work still she'll continue to work and I love what she's doing I mean she's an icon yeah I just feel yeah this is like tough for her and I wonder how long he's gonna continue to you know do this I know it it's like he it's a cry for help and he needs help I don't know if he would accept it and it's just like unfortunate that we have to watch it all unfold and like it's public for her because I'm rooting for her I know I'm rooting for both of them I love him I love like I just I feel like he's been through so much like I want the best for him but it just doesn't seem like he even wants to help himself yeah he doesn't see it doesn't seem like he thinks anything is wrong with his behavior yeah and that's the biggest problem yeah I agree are you watching the valley I am not is that Vanderpump that's Vanderpump alum I um I just got caught up this weekend and I don't know some of it just reminds me of like Brittany and Jack I knew you're gonna say that yeah because I know he just came out he's a coke addict yes they are divorced it will be finalized on July 21st as he said on watch what happens live I watched that episode too sad but it's time when they first announced their divorce I was like no like make it work even though he's obviously problematic and he always has been it's like but you've loved him for 10 years like love him and then of course when people start to separate everything comes out and it's like oh run just run I never want to be in that position like that I'm very picky about who I'm going to be with now because I never want to be like I never want any dirty laundry aired like that.

27:07No matter how mad you get at a partner like you have a kid. Yeah. No, that definitely changes things. The two of them have obviously decided to like sort of bypass that in the name of their careers in reality television, which like I think is what's required. I agree. If you know what I mean, like I wouldn't tell a friend to do it. But like I think what they get out from the show, it's like, OK, well, this and this money and this like this is worth it. And we'll just, you know, sort of as long as they have an understanding. I think that they do. That's the vibe that I get where it's like we're all in.

27:41I think for some like couples, you kind of have to be if you want to be on reality TV and you want to be good at it. Like you kind of you have to bear it all, even if like that means like exposing your family or kids like I wouldn't do it. It's not for me. I'm like proud of Jax. The fact that he opened up about all of that is like a lot of people would never do that. yeah but he's always sort of that I don't know I'm on the fence about his recovery like that he's his sobriety is good but like I feel like he always like is admits like oh that was really bad I shouldn't have done that and then like literally goes and does it again the next day it's like that was really like it's just groundhog's day he's yeah and for like 10 years he's been doing the same thing over and over yeah so I would be curious to hear from Brittany like in real time how he is treating her in the divorce like if he's being amicable and like giving her the things that he wants she wants and like just being reasonable then like that that and that's what he should be doing like I would like to hear that if he's being very difficult and making things hard for her I don't like that but there was all this stuff with like their mortgage that he wasn't paying their mortgage it was crazy their mortgage which was fourteen thousand dollars a month which is so high especially because they bought their houses like pre-covid like low interest rates but apparently had a million dollars in tax taxes that he owed so he had to like take a lien on out on the house their mortgage was originally like eight thousand dollars and then he had to like i don't know take out money against it so it went up to like 14 000 and 17 000 and then he didn't pay the mortgage for months and she was he was the only one living in the house she had no doubt we know that much about their financial situation is so sad no no i know not that you not you know their mortgage payment i need to know and then i need when they said their mortgage was fourteen thousand dollars a month i'm like literally how like great i don't own anything thing by the way when they bought their houses like when it was two percent more interest rate so like i don't even know how that must be a really expensive house or they put no money down is that how this works both but and actually no i think the house was probably like two or three million dollars so you would think okay they put no money down but still like doesn't add up but then it turned out he owed a million dollars in taxes so he had to like take out money against his house and their rate went right right right okay that makes sense and i needed to know that in order to be mad at him enough for to understand why she's at the end of the day that's the biggest thing is you have to take care of your family yeah yeah yeah and he's causing issues so like then she left the house with the kid got a rental was like paying for the rental until he's in the house alone like obviously he should be paying for the mortgage he always paid the mortgage and she paid the bills and then he stops paying the mortgage and she doesn't find out until like five six months later and it's like well the house is going to go into foreclosure and she'll never be able to buy a house again.

30:16Oh my gosh. Like, your credit score is going to be, yeah. Right. Like, that's psychotic behavior. So do we need to get Jax a brand deal? Like, no, he's not brand safe. Jax, he needs to pay his mortgage. But where did all his money go? Coke. Is that real, like millions of dollars? I don't, I don't know. I don't know. He's not like a rock star. Like, I can't imagine like, how much drugs he was, was he doing other drugs? Like, other things? He was cheap. Maybe not on her. Did he cheat on her? I think he did cheat on her in their marriage. I don't think he was paying. I think it was free. Right. I was thinking more like trip to Vegas.

30:54Oops, I dropped 10K at the strip club. Yeah. People are dumb. Yeah. Who else? The guy from Jersey Shore. Situation. Well, yeah. He didn't pay. Like, did no one tell you? Well, I mean, that's just a thing. You have to pay taxes. So, like, when you started making money, like, outside of traditional work, so, like, from the show and from brand deals like what did you do financially like did you hire someone so i overpaid i'm a i'm super afraid of prison i overpaid by fifty thousand dollars and my and then i got a new accountant she's like um you really you really overpaid i'm so afraid of breaking the law yeah so i'm i always pay my taxes yeah everything i i don't pay my tickets though i wait i pay them all in like one at one time at the end of the year which is probably irresponsible.

31:43Why? Logging onto the portal is such a pain in the butt. I'd rather go in person. I live next to City Hall on Miami Beach. I just walk in. It's like 200 bucks a year. I'm like, here. That is really funny. I get a lot of mails from the toll. I'm like, I don't even drive on the highway. There's so many tolls in Florida. My car was stolen. Wait, what? No, I'm kidding. Someone else is driving my car. I literally don't drive on the highway. No, they're everywhere. They're hidden. There's a bridge called Venetian on the beach. It's$5. I don't have an easy path a sun pass. Oh neither do I. Really? Yeah and I have lived here my whole life.

32:18No like do you ever like go home like cross state? I go home and it's I think it's four dollars to cross Alligator Alley which is over the Everglades. I know Alligator Alley. Yeah you know you know now. I've been. Yeah we went to. Naples. Estero. Yeah is that. Yeah that's Naples. We went to see Rascal Flatts. Best night ever. Oh my god how was it? It was amazing I'm obsessed with them. I actually had a dream maybe it was last night or the night before that like Rascal Flatts were doing a show near me and I was like they have a lot of concerts here yeah they do like in you mean like yeah there's a lot of good shows Rascal Flatts like need to tour more like get back to work get back in the studio but I'm glad that I was able to see them in Estero I'm seeing Coldplay I'm so excited July 26th at the Hard Rock I so I was I love Coldplay I was like scrolling refreshing I was like do I fly to Auckland New Zealand to go to Coldplay because they like never do shows and as I'm refreshing I see that Miami pops up and I was like is this a lie am I high right now because I just saw it wasn't there it was there it immediately popped up I bought seven tickets like right there on the spot that's so exciting so now we're all going we're getting like a party bus I'm so excited who are you going with all my girls all my friends my brother his wife your friends from home Miami oh right your new friends you said you have all new friends like the other ones can kick rocks but you're still friends with like your OG girls like Hannah Yes, I just, yes.

33:39And the cousin, Lexi. Lexi. Lexi lives down the street, by the way. Like, her house is right over there, her apartment. That is so funny. No, I'm totally still friends with them. I just don't see them. It's different. It's like, whatever, losers. You're not to me. Yeah, no, you're not with my new influencer friends. Yeah, sorry. Bye-bye. Our next story is some beauty news. And usually a haircut doesn't make news. However, Sofia Richie has debuted her dramatic French bob hair transformation. for summer and I think everyone's getting ideas. She's just perfect. She can do no wrong. No, she is so perfect.

34:13I love this haircut in general. I'm always pro people cutting their hair. I think it always just like elevates them and like just enters a new era of your life. And she's already in that era. So like now the hair matches. It fits her so well. And I know like people out there are now feeling tempted to do it. And I know like other people are cautioning you not to do it, but I'm always going to say like, do it. I want to see more girls with this haircut. I think it works for her because she's just so elegant. She gives Princess Diana just this rich mom, European summer. She's just perfect. Yeah, she really is.

34:47She's gorgeous and it really works for her. I think it will look good on a lot of girls. I just do think it's kind of mature. I mean, how old is she? It is mature. She's young. She's younger than me, which makes me feel a certain type of way. She's 26. Okay, so younger than me. No, but she's just, it works so well. I do think the girlies should do it. I just, I caution you. Once you do it, it takes a minute to go back. Yes, and also if you want to walk the walk, you have to talk the talk too. It's a whole vibe. You have to take on the whole person. You can't just be out there with the booty cheeks hanging out of your shorts.

35:21You have to constantly have your hair done too and wear the elegant outfit. Yeah, no, you have to go all the way. It's not going to look good. Right, you need to wear something like this. You look so cute. I could do a bob. I will tell you to do it. I won't though because I just feel like I really do believe that I need it's like more like a marriage haircut. Yeah. No. Is that fair to say? It is. I used to have a bob and I think it really ushered me into a more mature era of my life and like forced me to like I don't know. It just like changed my vibe in a good way. And then like it's been growing out.

35:53And I always say like when I'm like in full like mom like done having like I wouldn't want to be like pregnant with a bob and just like have a lot going on. But like, you know, in the next phase of my life, like I'm going back. like PTA mom with a bob. Love that for you. Like that's where you'll catch me but it will be a while. You're not a PTA mom yet? No no no. How old is your oldest? Three. Oh you like I'm just a toddler mom. I need my hair. Yeah you need your hair still. You're not right. I feel like yeah once you are like really working and picking up like five kids a day. Yeah and like soccer and like all this.

36:22Yeah that's the vibe. But like right now I need to be able to put my hair in a messy bun. Like I'm in the messy bun phase. I love that for you. Yeah. I see it. So if you're thinking came out cutting your hair this is your sign to do it okay juliette's gonna say no and i'm gonna say yes but if you do it like make sure you go to a great hairdresser that's true yeah you need like those like flowy layers i mean who did her hair oh i think it was chris mcmillan of course yes and jake shane's like always in the background yes jake how did they they've been friends like he used to work for her husband like in his corporate role like before he like when he started like his social media he was or her assistant like he works for one of them so that's affair wasn't just like oh you're famous i'm famous no like he was friends with them before he got famous i love that i love that type of story because it doesn't feel like someone's latching on to the other no they're like real friends love that i love that too yeah that's cute um also you know i'm gonna try and convince my sister margo to do this haircut she's my guinea pig yeah i love margo how's she doing she's good she's so cute you and her she's in new york you and her should go on summer house together we oh my god she should so do summer house i mean i think when she was on the toast we were talking about it people always say that about her she would never do it she's not cut out for reality tv you know summer house looks easy yeah my show was way harder than it seems like summer house was people were getting like pregnant i was getting in fights summer house is tame it's like page yelling at kyle over an investment of freaking craig and it feels like it's detached from their real lives like they're you go out there and like you do stuff for the summer house and then like you come back and have their actual life your 100 was your actual life your actual boyfriends and friendships but I think it really really has to do with the age too they're able to separate and be mature about certain things and put on a show I think yeah whereas like I was just so out of touch with that world because I was so young in a small town that it just everything blended together to just make this like perfect mixture of chaos yeah and like not know how to like compartmentalize like 100 I was like I'm I would make up a lie and I would believe it.

38:29Yeah. I'm going to be this way like on the show. And then like I know what I. But like you were just so in it. Which makes for good TV. But then you're seeing people like ripped apart. And it's like. Well that's not good for you. Which is what we're seeing with these shows. Where these people. Like Love Island. Again it's like. They. I don't think they're able to. Differentiate. What is like for TV. And what's not. Because especially they're in like this bubble. Yeah. And I think also like the game element of the show. Has really been played up this season. Less so than the love. love and so you really need to be like hard-headed like where you have to where you need to fall in love to be on the show right but you need to also be able to like separate like I don't care about these people I don't care about these friends because like you're voting them off every other day impossible task yeah it's like traitors these days it really is it looks so hard to be on love island like I couldn't do it but I do think for them at least the payoff is is serious because they'll come off the show and they'll have a completely new life look at Jalen I'm so happy for Jalen.

39:24Oh my god I was saying last night I was talking to Claudia I was like I need someone to get a word to the Islanders about like the fact that Jalen has 1.4 million so that's my favorite thing about and it's the worst thing about Love Island they have no idea that they are a trending audio the Mama Sita thing they have no Huda has no idea she thinks apparently America does love her but like she thinks they just have no concept of what's going on out here. No but like I think the biggest shock to them of everything that's happened while they were in the villa is that Jalen two-day stint Jalen has 1.4 million followers insane I'm so happy for him I hope that it lasts I hope the only problem I see with this is that he doesn't actually know how to make like content yet so I hope that he does I hope he hires someone or just like yeah put really puts in the work there so that people stick with him and he especially if he wants to be a travel influencer I want to see that like let's make that but we You have to give him grace as he navigates this new chapter.

40:21Of course. I'm so – and the picture with his grandma. No, I'm obsessed. But yeah, the one he needs to hire someone so that like he can just stay being Jalen. Wait, we need to send him like PR boxes. You need to send him JMP swim. I should. Do you do men's? I do. I want to have like everyone sending him everything. I want stuff for his grandma. Do they wear your suits on the show at all? Like to have any of the girls wear them? I did not on Love Island, but Temptation Island. I gifted everybody, pretty much everybody in like the first episode wore my suits. Oh, cute. Which that show ended up being, like I haven't seen it, but it was crazy.

40:53Tyler C was just saying that he watched it. Apparently it's really good, but it's, I have a hard time watching like really, really raunchy things. Love Island is painful in that sense. Only during the challenges, because that's the only time they like get sexy. And the rest of the time they're like nuns in there. Exactly. No, they won't kiss their like actual match and then they have to all make out. No, and like when someone likes someone, they're like a kiss on the cheek. And then they go into the challenge where they're seriously like someone is about to give like a blowjob at a challenge. We were saying, is that okay?

41:26Because I know for a fact like, well, I don't know about Love Island, but I know on other things that I've done, you, there's like HIPAA. So they can't make you take a test for any of these like STDs. Okay. But I imagine I would be worried like I don't have oral herpes. I'm lucky. A lot of people have it. I've never had a cold sore. I have no plans on getting one. I don't want to be making out with 12 people. I assume that they've all been tested, even though for the past few weeks, it does look like a cold sore is being passed around the villa. It's bad. They might. They have to be. But then what?

42:00Then what do you do? She can't kiss. She has to sit out the challenge. She can't be on the show. If you have. If you have an active herpes. I mean, I agree, but I don't think that's how it works. I'm sorry. that I agree and then you do these challenges where literally like at every stop you have to kiss the person like you can't force people I don't want to kiss a lot like I'm not really attracted to anyone on live island what would I do about that no it's so weird and then they think that like in these challenges like we're gonna see if there's chemistry like while I make out with four different people and act like it's the best thing I've ever done and you're just all slopping no it's it's actually it's on it's not watchable that milk challenge was disgusting was So disgusting.

42:42Like, I get queasy easily. I'm a pregnant woman. Like, this isn't offensive to me. Yeah. I feel bad for Paige. I can't imagine. Because I think a lot of people don't realize, like, these shows take hours to film. Yeah. Like, they're sitting there and there's no music. They're not really drinking. They're just sitting there all day long. They get one glass of wine at night in those cups. I see. I need at least three. Yeah. Because I get so bored. and if you're just there's no phones there's no tv you're just sitting there talking to each other every single day all night all day I would be just so bored yeah okay we're gonna get to Love Island we are I promise we're almost there our next story is actually some really sweet love news Billy Ray Cyrus and his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley have a romantic date night in London to support Miley's new film so Miley's new film is her album film something beautiful don't get excited The last song sequel is not out, but I wish Billy Ray and Elizabeth Hurley went out to support Miley's new film, Something Beautiful.

43:46They stepped out together like seriously looking like a legit couple. Now he looks scary as ever, but that's not stopping her from like she's being like Queenie Elizabeth Hurley. Why do I think he looks kind of good? Why do you think he looks kind of good? Did he lose weight? He looks really scary. He's giving Jesus kind of. His shirt is the scariest part, I would say. That's a horrible outfit. Who is she? Elizabeth Hurley, British actress. I don't know her. You definitely do. She's like a class. Name a movie. I mean, Bedazzled with Brendan Fraser comes to mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't seen that.

44:22I haven't. I've seen Georgia the Jungle. Elizabeth, did you ever watch the Royals on E! News? I didn't. She's from Austin Powers. Okay. She's from Gossip Girl. She was hooking up with Nate. I have I seem to have missed everything she's been in oh my god you're missing out well so we're happy for them I thought Miley didn't like this no Miley likes this and I do think she's been like yeah I think she's reconciling with her dad and I think Lizzie has been a force for good in his life because like he's slowly getting back together with his family like I I think he was spiraling and she sort of stabilized him and like made him more palatable to the rest of his family so yeah It's like a really good thing why Elizabeth Hurley is like attracted to him in this era of his life.

45:09I will never know. Yeah. Dating a man coming from like a broken family must be like a little tough, especially Miley Cyrus's father. Yeah. No. And like there's so many different aspects. There's like 10 kids. There's like three, right? Four. Five? Five. I think there's five. Trace, the brother, is like going off on Instagram. He's going off. Yeah. I can't even go there. But like then Miley and Noah have their own beef. Then the mom. And then. they do yeah because um but i love noah there was like another weird drama where the mom got remarried okay and like noah didn't like this right no apparently like dated that oh my god well fair but that's really fair if she i don't know my mother the thing is everyone sided with tish so like i don't feel like that's exactly what happened given what we do know why did they side with Tish because Miley did?

46:00No, I think because Tish probably didn't do it. I think Noah probably did more wrong than Tish. I don't know if Noah actually dated. We need to get to the bottom of this. That's really weird. I don't like to talk about it because... You don't know for sure what happened. No, because it's disturbing. I just want to think about the Cyrus family being happy and just push that away. Miley seems really good to me. She seems stable. I love her. I've never loved her more. I agree. I've never loved her more. She just seems so confident and secure in herself. And I love her. I just, I want the best for her.

46:34I completely agree. And so ultimately, Elizabeth Hurley being with her father is best for Miley. Because he's like coming to the premiere. He's happy. And he's supporting her. And I think she's bringing up like the average of the family. Yeah. Even though it's obviously very high. I think it's good. I think it's good. It's shocking. It's shocking. But you know what? Everybody has a crazy family. maybe not that crazy but we prevail yeah our next story is um a bit of great music news as well because tom sandoval has auditioned for america's got talent with his band tom sandoval and the most extras so tom's the name yeah that's the name of his band tom and that's a very good name for that yeah no he nailed it with the extra for sure and they were sort of like the butt of the joke on the last few seasons of vanderpump rules he spent all his money like paying his band members and getting studio time and then he went out on tour right as scandafall happened and i think the only people who were really going to his show were like going there to heckle him which is also like not great like stay like stay home i kind of feel for him in that sense i'm starting to like feel for him a little bit just because like so much time has passed right i guess someone at america's got talent has a sense of humor because they invited him in his band to audition and they're a cover band like they're really like a almost like a wedding cover band like whatever yeah I don't watch a lot of America's Got Talent so I don't know if a lot of like mid-level talented people audition just like for shits and giggles um I think this is a rare occurrence it is so odd yeah that they this is for use is what I think when I watch clips of America's Got Talent it's like some of the most talented people and random from like a different part of the world or like a small and it's like a really cool talent someone's singing someone else's song like with a 15 piece band that's my thing about the band there's like 10 of them no and he pays them all that's really sweet honestly if like they're not making any money but he wants to keep the band together sweeps out of his vanderpump money paying them is like really sad no it's it's sad and at this point like i hope that they have i'm like i'm happy for them that they went on america's got talent i don't even want to like talk shit because it's like no i'm happy for them i agree i think like i don't like him every time he opens his mouth i'm upset no but i do feel like we need to move on and ariana i love her i'm so team ariana like she's so moved on she's she's making way more money than him she won by a landslide let's give him like a little a little less hate i guess I think people liked him from Traitors.

49:09He was on last season. Did you watch? I watched a little bit of it. I was there for Dylan Efron and Sierra. I wasn't there for it. Didn't he get out pretty early, though? I didn't watch. And he was on Special Forces with Tyler C. That's right. Would you ever do Special Forces? You know, I feel like I would really fail. Based on what Tyler said, and I feel like it was hard for him, and he's like a grown, big, strong man, I don't think you should do it. I like to think that I can do stuff like that. You're very fit. I am, but I'm not. You were doing Barry's. You're the queen of bar. I know, but I think that I, like, crumble under pressure.

49:43Are you mentally tough? I am, but then, like, I don't know. I just, every time I think I'm going to win in, like, these types of, like, games or events, I don't win. Interesting. I have, like, I did a show similar to this, and I didn't win anything. The one that you did? Yes. With, like, challenges and stuff? Yes, didn't win a single one. Interesting. I think when the moment comes and you're like in that position, like things get a lot harder than you think they would be. Yeah, no, he said it was like so extreme. It wasn't like fake Hollywood. What were some of his challenges that he had to do?

50:16Oh, I don't know. He was talking about being in some like icy thing. Why would I want to? It depends on how much money I'm getting. And I do want to see if I could do it. Yeah. Like the mental, like how you would come out the other side. Yeah, like would that make me stronger? like being able to say that I accomplished some of that stuff would be awesome but like why would I put myself through a like a cold plunge or like go to like live in the ice like why would I do that I don't know that's what I was saying to him I was like when you're in those things are you like regretting signing up for the show because I would seriously run I mean part of me like always wanted to be in the army like I have like all these like random jobs I like wish I did just to see if I could okay so then you should go on special forces just to scratch that itch just you're right it's just like one of those little things about me i'm like what if i was a pilot like i think about that stuff a lot you should do it it could also be a good place to meet someone i don't i know you don't want to date a reality star but i think like the guys who would go on special forces would be like strong they have like real army people like i would date an officer i ship yeah i like put me in my place you guys if any special forces casting directors are watching even though i'm sure you have teams of people who could just, you know, sign you up.

51:25I love this. I love this. Like, this could be a thing. I want to try to do traitors, though. Like, that I find more interesting and fun. Yeah, and like, easy compared to Special Forces. Yeah, but I love a mind game. Like, that sounds like a fun game. Yeah. But I don't think I could lie. I'm a really bad liar. Did you ever think about doing, because Siesta Key was on MTV, did you ever think about doing the challenge or like, X on the beach? They never asked me, which I thought was strange. That's strange. Yeah. Did anyone from Siesta Key do those shows? No. I feel like they, I talked a lot of shit about MTV though.

51:58I don't know if that has to do with it. I don't know. I feel like everybody who's on MTV like talks shit about it. I mean it's a dying network. Well damn. I feel like that's just a part of me. Like Kristen also like talks a lot of shit. I mean one example was like they would never invite us to the VMAs. Which is just like that should be our one reward. Obviously we got paid but like that was just something and I'm like so you're not even paid. Like you won't even bring, you won't even invite us. Why? Because they had no money. But I feel like I've saw you at the BMAs. What? I feel like I've seen you at the BMAs.

52:31They had to like, I went the first, okay it was the first year, 2017 before our show even aired. They flew us all out. It was this whole thing and then I think the merger happened with Viacom who owns MTV and I just think, I don't know, it must have been a money thing. It was never like personal but yeah But the other shows would go. Then they would invite like yes they would invite people from other networks like Vanderpump would go or like it was just odd to me that is and that always rubbed me wrong that's surprising yeah we got to get you to the VMAs I can't help you with that it's okay I don't need to go you're over I want to go to like the Oscars or something take me somewhere really cool I want to wear like a nice fancy dress what about like do you ever do people's choice no you weren't like people's choice reality star I don't think we were quite big enough.

Our fifth and final story is going to lead into our Love Island recap because Love Island USA is accused of rigging voting after favorites go home in a shock elimination as fans are raging. I'm done watching.

58:12Oh, okay. So me. Thanks, The Sun, for voicing how I feel. Yes, for sure. Wow, that was so accurate. So accurate. For sure, the votes were not accurate. Like, I think some people who are most popular got to stay. Of course, why are they going to kick off the most popular? But for example, Huda is not. That can't have been right. But the more I think about it, like the more producers are not letting Huda go. Like, she has saved their season. This season has really been god awful, except for the Huda and Jeremiah saga, which was just like so shocking and such a whirlwind that it really captivated people.

58:48But like as far as connections or like really meeting great people from the show, it's not amazing. She's kind of like saved their season. And I don't think they're going to send her home. This would have been her third time in the bottom three. And I think the girls would have actually they don't know how to vote. So they probably wouldn't have voted her home because that would have been the correct choice. But I don't think producers were going to leave it up to chance because they need her. Plus, knowing that the next day is Casa Amor, she will be she will thrive in Casa Amor. We'll get to see her from like you're right from the zero to like, you know, she gets five guys to choose between like that will be entertaining television and they were not going to give that up so I can almost like understand why they saved her but I know like for sure the votes were rigged in that sense the way that these islanders are voting for the people that they have to dump from the island like they need to lose their voting rights because they what are they doing I have a lot of thoughts on this the guys are jealous of Jeremiah oh for sure And I think Ace is a snake.

59:46I was anti-Ace because I just think he's, like, faking things with Shelly. And I'm, like, so bored by them. Yeah. It's supposed to be – I think they wanted to create this, like, story of adversity where, like, they didn't – we weren't with each other. And now they're together and they think they're going to go all the way and win. But I do think, like, some of the fans are falling for it, which if that's the case and, like, those are your winners, great. Like, but I just think – Anybody on TikTok knows that they've, like, known each other. Right. That's, like, the thing coming out about them. And they said that they knew each other.

1:00:13they met outside of club and now there's like other stuff that he was she was like his valentine and they like came on the show to win and they've just been sort of even if that would honestly how would the producers not know that i don't know because out of every person that they cast they happen to cast two people that know each other that's like well i feel i really feel like they casted a lot from instagram like more than ever like i feel like everybody who's on the show already has a platform and like they're all content creators which is fine but i think when you're all content creators like you know your fellow that's true people are like it's los angeles or wherever they're from if you see them on like the explore page whatever like so i don't think that's so so crazy plus love island is a huge cast probably by the end of the show they go through like 30 or 40 people like yeah of 23 year olds with semi-decent instagram followings who are incredibly beautiful like true it's possible um i just think ace and shelly are so boring and i'm not seeing like any chemistry between them so whatever show they think they're putting on is like not happening for me and I was like really against him except when he was the one like really bringing Huda and Jeremiah to task and like not letting it go and I was like okay I'm with you but now he it's a thing he has against Jeremiah because Jeremiah is doing exactly what he should be doing thank you like he got out of his relationship with Huda which everyone said was toxic it was too much too soon and it got like so dramatic and nasty and he made the mature choice and he chose Iris even though he's like not into her romantically he just wants to close the chapter on huda right did the right thing there then he starts earnestly trying to find connections his dream girl walks into the villa thankfully she likes him too and they're and like the way he's talking to her and going about and moving is exactly what he's supposed to do it's like what a guy who's looking for a relationship should do he seems like he doesn't have good friendships with the other guys except for austin and that's why i think they voted him off but also like him kissing andrina in front of everyone like put a target on his back because if they didn't they all want to hook up with her.

1:02:04So if they get rid of him, they have a chance. Like Nick, a hundred percent. Nick, I got that, but like, Ace, like they're not all going to get her. No, but they, they're jealous of him. And if he's there, they're locked in. But if he's not there, then she has to talk to the rest of them. That's exactly what I was thinking. They're jealous. Yeah. So I think that the boys voted for him to go because they're incredibly stupid. And they, and like, you just broke up two real couples. And this is love islands. Isn't traitors. Like if they're not here to form relationships, if they're going to be penalized for that then like what's the point we need to go back to like regular eliminations we haven't had like just a a dumping like a normal one since bella where people like you get dumped if nobody likes you like that don't have a couple it should have been amaya and maybe pepe austin austin austin amaya austin and amaya were the correct choice if anything if the producers really want the villagers the villas to dump the cat the girls should have voted which boy should go home and the boy should have voted which girl should go right because the girls would have been like none of us like Austin and he's been here a while and none of us are going to and it's time for him to go so right and like Hannah would have stuck up for Pepe I don't know so true they might have voted Jeremiah off because I do think Huda was the leading voice in the girls discussion but they would have had a chance and then the boys would have of course sent Amaya home because they know that Iris and Hannah are into other guys and they all have spoken to Amaya and none of us like her in that way none of us are going to so like it's her time to go that because Austin and Maya are the ones that who should have gotten home sorry yeah and now we're going into Casa Amor and we don't have that many solid couples so why is this interesting to me to watch more exactly people Jeremiah would have been first of all he's the most beautiful by a landslide I liked watching my screen I liked what was forming between him and Andrea Andrina I liked that I feel like there would have been a girl in there for sure.

1:03:57I bet several girls would have went after him. I feel like Ace too. Like, I just feel like, I don't know why. I also think it's kind of messed up that they let America vote. They tell these people that America doesn't like them essentially. I feel like that's so mean. Well, they do and they don't. They leave it like ambiguous because like the girls in the bottom three, like I feel like Iris shouldn't have a chip on her shoulder because she just got there. We haven't gotten a chance to get to know her. America like threw her into the lion's den by putting her in a relationship with Jeremiah. And it really would not have been fair if she got sent home because that way she never had a shot.

1:04:34But look at Jalen never had a shot and got sent home. So I wouldn't put it past them. I was honestly really glad that it wasn't Iris because now she has something going with TJ. I think they're so cute. And she deserves like she's put she's handled herself correctly in every situation. Like she deserves to have a good time now. So thankfully, I think I would have been most upset if Iris went home. Like I'm really rooting for her. And Hannah, I really, I like Hannah, but ever since what she did to my Charlie, like. I don't like Hannah. I turned on her. Like, I really loved Hannah and Charlie. And I could have been open.

1:05:03I like Charlie, yeah. She moved too quickly with Pepe. Weren't they? Wasn't there a little. The spit start. Oh, yeah. The spit start heard around the world. Could never be me. No, that was so crazy. Especially when the night before she's crying about Charlie, like wailing. and so I think I would have been fine with Hannah and Pepe and I actually really like Pepe. Yeah. If he likes her, like I think that like speaks to her character even more. She just got like too into him too fast and it just negated everything she had with Charlie. I'm sorry when you diss Charlie, you diss me because I'm not over him.

1:05:40I just am still like I'm stunned that they sent Jeremiah home. I really feel like we need like there needs to be like you get to bring someone back. So that's what people are saying. But honestly, everything people are saying has been wrong. They thought we were voting for most popular boy and girl to send them on a date. And you know that the fans have this thing for Nick and Alandria. Oh, really? There are all these fan edits that they think that Nick is really in love with Alandria. But I also think for the fans, Nick is their favorite guy. I actually like Nick. He's really growing on me. He's really a good guy.

1:06:11Except he should be more all in on Ciara than he is. And stop chasing. It's time to lock in. I agree. But it's also early. and they're about to go through Casa Moore. How is it early if it's Casa Moore? Casa Moore is like... Well, I don't know if he wants to set expectations if he's about to go in there. Right, and I understand they don't know they're going into Casa Moore. Oh, they don't? I understand. I thought everyone knew that. Isn't that just like a thing? No, but they don't know that it's like tomorrow, right? Tonight, right? Yeah, tonight. I feel like tonight they're going to hear they're going and then it's going to end.

1:06:40And then like in two nights we'll be able to see what happens. But that's my only qualm with Nick. But like, whatever. They're young, like take your time. um he's obviously like they're all blinded by this girl which is just like so funny they're all like they would literally all drop their girls which is just i it's like you have to have such a strong sense of self to be on this show yeah you really do or just like be very like hard but also soft because you have to fall in love or else you won't stay on the show but then you need to be able to be like okay you're really having to play two games here it's the game of love and then the game of like get people to like me enough so that I don't leave I have to get America to like me enough and the people in the house to apparently like me enough yeah but then there's Huda who I don't know who will and I agree maybe the producers did save her I think the producer saved her 100 % for the sake of entertainment and I can be okay with that but I do think she was leading this discussion amongst the girls and they didn't show us the deliberation I was gonna say are you sure because of course she was the one to send Hannah home because she wants to move in on Pepe after things didn't work out with TJ.

1:07:42It's so clear when like she's, I don't, okay. What's, what are they saying online? Ace is the leader of the guys and Huda must be the leader of the girls, which I would not, I just know I would not be friends with Huda. No, I, I think that Huda like thinks she's leader of the girls. And I think she's like, none of the other girls want to take up the mantle. Cause to me, like Alondra should be the leader of the girls. She's very rational, but she's nice. Yes. Yeah. But it does like make me annoyed with a lot. Like, I feel like in those discussions, I feel like Sierra is very much like a free spirit like she's not she doesn't want a leadership role she's not taking one like I feel like she was probably like not really participating who was the other person Shelly's too quiet Shelly Alondria and Huda who else is there she was in the bottom I guess it was just the four yeah just the four so like I feel like Shelly and Alondria are really like the voices of reason in the villa everyone really likes them like on the show and outside outside and I'm honestly disappointed in them that they didn't like stand up to whatever Huda wanted and know that what the right decision was because it was so clear that Amaya is the one that should go home like and her sending Pepe home was just them sending Pepe home was just the most transparent thing I've ever seen yeah like there are why why should Hannah go home I mean them sending Hannah home I can't why should Hannah go home why should Hannah go home she did nothing like she's literally she you sent home her last boyfriend she found a new boyfriend it's actually But it's like the whole premise of the show.

1:09:05It's like Amaya wasn't offering anything. Yeah. It's not like she was like Huda, which you could argue Huda is like the most dramatic. And she's going to continuously bring entertainment. Like, I just don't get it. No, I don't. And at least like we know America didn't like her. At least put Huda in the bottom three and save her. It's fine. Save her then. I don't think they would have saved her because. Oh, then they would have had to choose. They would have had to choose. And I think they would have been like, we're always saving her and maybe not done it. And I don't think producers like wanted to leave that up to chance because they need her.

1:09:37How do you think producers let Jeremiah go home then? It was like, I just don't understand that. I feel like they thought if Amaya and Austin went home, it would have just been like very obvious. Like goodbye. Like people wouldn't be so fired up like we are now. Like we're very fired up. And I feel like they think that's a good thing. Like people are invested in the show. Like, oh my God, did you see last night's episode? But let me tell you. Gets the social tweets up. I fucking hate this show. Yeah. I hate like I just nothing makes sense I was saying to Claudia on the Patreon like a lot of it was a lot of the cast members they're like young so I think that they like during COVID were in high school and college and like doing remote learning.

1:10:13I didn't want to be reminded of that. It's giving remote learning. These people can't think. No their IQs. No offense. Every time they're left to make a decision it's the wrong one and I can't watch it anymore. I do lose a couple brain cells. I feel like the producers are laughing being like we crushed it and I keep saying like. It really feels like Hunger Games, like Philip Seymour Hoffman being like, how can we raise the stakes? How can we make this so crazy? And I feel bad for them in a sense where it's like they were having a nice night and then they get a text. They go to the fire pit. And it's like, no, they're so upset.

1:10:42They're like, no, it's about to go down. OK, but wait, who is hysterically crying? Oh, the way Hannah, which was really sad. But she she really looks like she just got like a death sentence. No, I know. But like she's gone through it twice now. Like hysterical. I think when you're in there and you're bored all day and this is like the biggest deal. in the world. I totally get it. And time goes slower in there. And so I think that even when she was like, I don't know how I'm supposed to look at you guys. You just sent me home, which she's so right for that. She had, there was no reason for her to go home.

1:11:12The obvious choice was Amaya and they fumbled the ball and the boys just, I don't know, they all think they have a chance with Andrina now. They don't. And now like Huda, she got Jeremiah out of the villa. She doesn't have to watch him talk to another girl. And she got the girl out who's talking to the guy that she wants to talk to. Like, how did she end up winning? I don't know. I don't like how much power it feels like she has. I agree. And she just like, I don't know. I just don't like how dramatic, even the conversation she had with TJ. She was like, I'm not going to be like that kind of girl that's like, fuck you.

1:11:46It's like, actually, we literally watched this. Actually, that was literally you. You're the only one who does that. Good for TJ for detaching. Oh, I knew he didn't like her from the second. I knew he didn't like her, but I felt like if he didn't make it clear, and I'm shocked that he did make it so clear because like it's nice to have options. Yeah. She would have, like you don't want to be attached to her because like she will bring you down. Like look at Jeremiah. And he knew that because he can't see, was he able to watch the show? Some of it, yeah. Oh. I think cutting her off before like you become a part of her story is a good thing to do.

1:12:17Yeah. I'll be very curious what Pepe does but now in Casa Amor like she'll have a million like blank slates. I feel like they're kind of safe now within the house. Like they'll have time to get away from like the drama within each other. And like I'm excited to see what happens. But I just, I don't want their. But no one's in a like, if any couple gets broken up by Casa Amor, I literally won't be surprised or care. Like Nick really. Or care, you're right. Nick is, Nick and Sierra are probably the strongest couple and he's like has a foot out the door. Right. And that even will be obvious if there's like just like a really hot girl who'll get googly eyes.

1:12:46Yeah. And we'll just want to explore that. Yeah. And then go back to Sierra and she's not going to wait. Yeah. She's not going to wait between him unless she finds, you know, hopefully she finds someone else. maybe but I think she's really into him and I understand why and then Nick and I mean Ace and Shelly and Alondra and Taylor like zero chemistry I hope Shelly like I need Shelly to give me something because I'm kind of bored yeah no I agree and I like I don't have any issues with her but like you've now been here since day one like we need more yeah Alondra gives a lot because like she's always in good conversations and like saying the thing that like you're shouting to the TV um Huda obviously does her Huda thing and they're the three day ones so then people are saying as and as I've said people are always wrong they wanted the Nick and Landria to go on a date um that they will bring back they think that they're going to bring back a cast off guy and a cast off girl for Casa more because apparently there's one less person than there's always been they need to bring back Jeremiah when they showed them on the screen yeah like apparently there should have been one more guy and one more girl got it they need to bring back Jeremiah and like And then he's like back with if he walks back in with Andrina, like I would love that.

1:13:56We need we don't have any great moments of like great love. Like this is love island. It's not Survivor. No, and he's the only guy that actually seems to be willing to fall in love. Yes, I agree. And like I want to see a really strong relationship. Like I want to see a couple come out of it. That's like Leah and what's his name or like whoever went last year. Yeah. I can't remember anybody's name. No, that's OK. There's a lot of people. And then for the girls, they think that Bella would come back. But she's, no. I'm sorry, her voice. I didn't miss, like she was nice on the show and I liked her no kissing thing.

1:14:29Yeah. But she needed to give a little bit. But I haven't missed her one day since she did not. No, I could not. Her voice did not match the face. And I'm not even like trying to be mean. It was just like, it was really grinding my gears a little bit. And when you paid attention to the things that she said, she didn't say anything. All that she said was, what? Yes. No. like it was no like there maybe she said other stuff off camera but like yeah there was no conversation i haven't missed her a day since she's been i really thought the first episode i thought she was gonna be like the hardest girl to beat yeah i was like she's gonna be the one the other girls are gonna be jealous of no but i'm glad that like when she had to debase herself and then start kissing everyone and then still got sent home like no guys were calling her prude they're disgusting like the whole show is disgusting and like now i'm sucked in and i'm watching and it's not that I can turn it off it's like it's obviously great father I really enjoy talking about it on this show and having like strong it's a part of my like routine now so but I'm not I'm still like I'm I hate everyone I'm so mad I want to see some love yeah and if they do bring a girl back I guess it should be Hannah who else has gone home at this point really like I don't even care about the girl I just need Jeremiah to come back I need Jeremiah to come I need another I need a girl that is strong that isn't like mean I agree like I want a real a girl with a real connection that that really wants to fall in love because I'm not getting that from anyone but Huda but Huda's mean yeah I want a girl that's nice confident and wants to fall in love like I want Aaliyah I feel like that's Alandria except for some reason she's into Taylor who gives nothing and we're sort of stuck and she likes him it seems the fact that she chose him over Jalen like I'm not going to question whether or not she likes him because of course like Jalen was a perfect man yeah and so you obviously find Taylor to be more perfect um I feel like I would have a hard time not thinking about the outside world like could I be with this person really on the outside like that those are things that go through my head I'm just I'm more rational than like falling in love in Fiji I know but I also feel like this cast feels really young and like it doesn't nothing matters to them in terms of the love and I feel like the love is like becoming a subplot on this show where it's like more about strategy and okay that's just like not the show I thought I was watching I like the love I want to there to be at least one lasting couple I want Molly and Tommy that's the best sort of season oh my god I really need that Molly and Tommy we're not getting a Molly and Tommy I need a Molly and Tommy like I need just a gorgeous two gorgeous humans that are just like just so cute each other and in love and like and that's enough for them I also love the UK because they speak so much more eloquently.

1:17:12Yeah. Like Huda is cussing within every two words. The conversations are really getting to a place of, someone asked us, what's your favorite fruit? That's where we're at. Fucking strawberry. That's where we're at. It depends what's in season. Like right now I like strawberries because they're in season and they're tasty. Oh, you're saying that's what they're talking about. Someone asked, what's your favorite fruit? Oh, I saw that and he said, I hate pineapple. and now we know you know what the worst was whatever conversation hannah and pepe had what was it it was so it was so dumb which honestly i feel for them because they're like what do you talk about i know all day and all night i know there's nowhere to go but it was just like it hurt it hurts it does hurt to watch sometimes but when you have no phone you do start to talk about things that are just like things you wouldn't normally talk about like so like what's your favorite sport yeah there's nothing else to do no I know it's really getting rough I'm so mad at everyone I need a redemption episode bring back Jeremiah yeah so that I'm single Jeremiah if you're out just like justice for you and hit me up I don't know if I'm your type though I ship and how old are you because that matters yeah I ship okay maybe it's not so bad come home Jeremiah Juliet's waiting Juliet thank you so much for joining me today this was So much fun.

1:18:28I'm so glad we got that all off our chest. Yes. I feel better now. It's like a little therapy sesh. Agreed. Tonight, there's more Love Island. And I do believe we'll be recapping it tomorrow with tomorrow's co-host because she is another expert on the matter. So I'm just going to leave that there. Juliet, where can everyone follow you and shop JMP? Juliet Porter is my Instagram, at Juliet Porter. And then at JMP the label for my bikinis and at Don't Be Ridiculous for my podcast. I love it.
