#adela&&naomi.

day 42 / naomi&&adela.

@heatwayve​

“ i can’t believe they’ve let her back here, ” she can, actually, but she hates it. thinks there’s so many other past islanders who would’ve been way better but she supposes naomi and josh are a bit comfortable. she knows she didn’t invite him on a date but, “ d’you reckon she’s coming for josh ? “

[heatwayve]

starter for adela. ( @bluemmings​​ )

where: lounge chairs by the pool

when: day 35

– IF THERE’S ANYTHING NAOMI’S LEARNING ABOUT ADELA, it’s that she’s unfailingly blunt in the most amusing way – mostly. so far, it hasn’t been to her detriment. honestly, adela’s one of the first people that she’s met here that actually reminds her of her friends back home in spirit – it just figures that dylan would bring back the one girl that naomi feels like her energy’s practically matched around. adela gets such a familiar calculating look in her eye sometimes. maybe dylan’s got more of a type than he’s previously let on. she’s curious if adela’s going to comment on her heart rate from last night, but naomi’s praying for both of their sake that adela won’t bother. we’ll see if that blunt-ness comes into play. she fishes for a distracting topic, “ okay, hit me with it, babe, ” naomi hums, rolling over on her lounge chair to face adela. there’s a sip from the fruity drink at the table beside her before she continues, “ what do you think of the new girls ? ”

when & where: day forty-one / late afternoon / lounge

“Did you expect how the dumping went last night? I didn’t,” he says, sitting next to Naomi. Losing Romi and Frankie right after each other is cruel, and Evie walking when she had only been here a few days was surprising too. Public votes are always odd for Dylan, in the sense that they gave him insights on their opinions and some tend to be shocking for him. However, regardless of that, he’s relieved him and Adela were saved, a far cry from when they were voted vulnerable during the last couple vote. || @heatwayve​

CALLIE & ANGEL -- NIGHT FORTY

location: evening / the boat cruise

featuring: @graftisms

ANGEL

“how much are you loving this?” judging by angel’s grin, he can tell the answer is a lot. still, seems like he’s enjoying watching her enjoy it more. sat at one of the bar’s tables they can overlook the ocean and watch the water lap warm and forceless against the side of the vessel. “how’s it compare to your old man’s boat?”

CALLIE

"oh, i'm buzzin'," she laughs, not having enough tact to even pretend otherwise. her eyes are on the ocean as if there's a pod of dolphins out there, when in reality she's just missed actually seeing the water. "comparing his boat to this is like comparing... that guy," she points to the average looking bartender, "to chris hemsworth." no offense, mate.

ANGEL

“well, this is kinda a bit much anyway,” angel defends mr. michaels with a shrug of his hand. “like, you can’t even feel the spray on a joint like this.” the yacht seems designed to negate the whole point of being on the water, all the messy, salty, fun bits he imagines you get on a good ol’ fashioned fishing boat. “— chris hemsworth?” he arched a teasing brow at her. “see, i knew you had a thing for the josh types.”

CALLIE 

"yachts are too much for you?" she teases, brushing her knee against his under the table. "no, you're not wrong. this thing is massive. i went to find the loo earlier and got lost." on a boat! ridiculous. the mention of naomi's boyfriend immediately makes callie's nose wrinkle. "josh wishes he looks like chris hemsworth," she shakes her head, "but nah, that was just the first, like, conventionally hot guy i could think. i'm more of a chris pine girl myself."

ANGEL

“only when i don’t have my cigar,” in that posh, upper crust tone. a hand curls the back of callie’s knee, pulling her leg between his as he leans forward to court a kiss. “maybe we should go find the loo and get lost,” he suggests, grinning. “you look beautiful, y’know.” a snort has his head nodding, isn’t entirely surprised by any of that. “i’m kinda more chris evans vibe. but, like, not another teen movie era.”

CALLIE

she leans forward to meet his kiss easily, hand resting on the top of his knee, giving it a squeeze. "i'm willing to bet jenny and jude have thought of that already," she jokes, but it's not exactly a no, eyes shining. "chris evans? what teen movie was he in?"

ANGEL

“please, as if they’d do us all the favor of finding somewhere private,” angel quips. knowing those two, they’d start exploring each other’s bodies right there on the dance floor if it suited them. a cheshire grin stretches over his mouth, too pleased she’s opened herself up to the joke name of the movie. “not another teen movie,” he repeats, hardly restraining laughter. “c’mon, i know they have parody movies in australia.”

CALLIE

callie laughs through making a face, eyes sweeping around to see if she can find them. safe to assume what they're doing since she doesn't see them. "good for them," lips press together to hold back a smile, shaking her head. "naur, sorry. the only movies we have in australia are nature documentaries, and stuff with nicole kidman," eyes widen in faux disappointment. "no, i've just never heard of that. sounds stupid."

ANGEL

the corners of his eyes crinkle as he laughs, his head shaking. “you’re out on the water for an hour and already you’re ODing on aussie-isms.” not unlike the way she gets when her and dylan talk together, or jude and adela. he scoffs dramatically. “it’s not stupid, it’s fucking hilarious and you’re gonna love it when i make you watch it.” angel squeezes the back of her knee again before he leans back in his chair, smiling at the prospect of still learning things about her. “what kinda movies aren’t stupid then?”

CALLIE

"me? have you heard eden, she always sounds way more aussie," she argues, as if it's a bad thing. it's not, but callie likes to think that her few years in america makes her a little more cultured than that. "you should be keeping a list at this point." it's not the first time he's told her they're gonna watch something, nor will it be the last. there's a pause as she considers the questions thoughtfully, before shrugging. "i don't know, i'm not much of a movie person," she admits. "but parody movies are made to be stupid, aren't they?"

ANGEL

“nah, you been really hittin’ those naurs lately, it’s cute as fuck.” between her and jude, he’s definitely going back to LA with a few extra slang terms. angel brings a finger up to tap his temple. “already keepin’ a list, babe. we’re gonna start off with fast and furious. every single one.” he’s laughing because he fully could’ve called that, callie doesn’t exactly seem like the kinda person to sit home and geek out over a screen. “no, you’re probably more like why watch a movie when we can just live it?” which, kinda fair. “oh, totally stupid. the chris evans one is a banger though. god, i haven’t seen that in forever.” if only they could pull up netflix or, better yet, just do anything besides drinking and talking about other people’s relationships. “y’know, mr. not-chris-hemsworth behind the bar over there is, like, the only fresh blood we’ve seen in weeks. maybe he’s got, like, exciting news from the outside world.” he’s joking, until suddenly he’s not, leaning forward into callie conspiratorially. “maybe he’s got weed.”

CALLIE

"naur, i have not," she defends, before pausing. "--okay, that time i heard it." eyes roll lightly in jest at herself. "every one? how many are there again?" those movies really don't sound like her cup of tea, but she is curious to see why he likes them so damn much. "wow, you make me sound like a douche," she laughs, shaking her head. "nah, i just don't have the attention span for them. i'm never just chilling alone and think, hm, i should put on a movie." though now she misses them, since they can't watch any here. "victoria and santiago erasure," she laughs, though turns to give the bartender a second glance. the mention of weed has her head snapping back to angel, eyes narrowing playfully. "there's no way," she says, but she's not confident in that, leaning forward too. "should i ask? shake him down? that is the only thing that'd make this night better."

ANGEL

“they’re doing a tenth one,” he tells her, totally indulged. “in one of the other ones vin diesel stomps on the ground and makes an earthquake, man. so sick.” angel’s definitely part of the joke that the movies suck, but he also definitely still likes them anyway. “nah, yeah, i feel that. honestly, i think it’ll probably be, like… a long minute before we’re gonna be able to do the normal chill stuff together, huh?” presumably after this they’ll travel, do press and marketing for their various business deals, do appearances. seems like there will hardly be any time to bop around a random grocery store together. “they’re, like, cast. i’m talkin’ bonafide normal person.” the line is pretty fine. he chuckles lowly at callie’s immediate interest, thrives under that attention. “way. c’mon, boat bartender?” angel points out under his breath. surely this guy has a joint. never mind the fact production can definitely hear them and will squash the bit when they feel like it’s gone on too long. he nods eagerly. “mhm, go toss your hair at him. oh, do that little slanty smile thing you do, that’ll bring it home.”

CALLIE

"you must be joking," her head falls back as she laughs, just at that mental image alone. "i don't think that's actually possible. what are those movies about, anyway? besides cars." or is that what it's only about? callie hadn't actually thought about the next time they can sit down and watch a movie, but angel saying that does make her consider it. "damn, when you say it like that, it's kind of depressing," she admits, with a little chuckle. it's weird to think about when they get out of the show, they won't just be going back to their normal lives; there's the added layer of everything that comes with this. "there's no way they'd let us get some..." but her voice trails off, considering it. what does she have to lose? "alright," she takes a deep breath, smacking a kiss on his lips before rising to her feet. "i'm going in."

ANGEL

“so it starts with them doing street races with their homemade rides and then by the end of the series they’re committing, like… international espionage.” a shrug, like it’s a natural progression. super sick. for someone who’s spent the majority of their adult life working, staying low key and in his lane, there’s a semblance of excitement to living the antithesis. it’ll be like playing a role for a little bit, playing pretend, before he goes back to the shop, back to reality. callie breaking it down to the dubious bare bones though has him nodding slowly with realization. “huh. yeah, i guess, kinda,” he concedes. then he jerks his chin toward her. “at least we’re gonna be doing it together, right?” that’s the silver lining to anything, he figures. it brings a spark of excitement to watch callie talk herself into playing the game with him, especially since she’s about to do all the heavy lifting. “hell yeah,” he hypes, can’t find the restraint to not lean forward and smack her ass when she starts toward the bar. “you got this.”

CALLIE

"oh, naturally," she deadpans with a nod, as if that's the most normal thing in the world. "what's happening in the tenth one, are they going to the moon?" i guess, he says, and it's clear that he doesn't totally agree with her, which makes callie smile to herself. now that she thinks about it, maybe it's for the best that they don't get a movie night in the near future; those movies sound terrible. "nah, it'll be fun," she assures him, because while the idea of celebrity life feels increasingly overwhelming the longer they're here, part of her recognizes she's probably overthink it. it's not like they're becoming the next kardashians. but she feels a bit like one of them while on this yacht, channeling their energy as she struts over to the bartender, arms resting on the bar between them in an effort to come off as cute and approachable as possible. the conversation's quick, only a minute or two, before she's coming back over to angel with a restrained smile, immediately laughing as she sits down. taking his hand, she passes him the only thing the bartender gave her: a cigarette. "okay, that man did not speak english," she tells him, keeping her voice down despite some residual laughter. "i tried to mime a blunt, but... he was so happy to give me this. i didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise." a pause. "or the spanish."

ANGEL

“what you mean? weed is a universal language,” he argues playfully, also trying to restrain his low laughter as he inspects the cigarette. angel heaves a sigh, begrudgingly grabbing a stray lighter abandoned on the table before lighting it up, his hand cupped around the end. “do you think your grandparents are gonna like me?” he wonders randomly, the smile lining the edges of his mouth aware of his glibness. “or, like, oh my god, your friends? are they gonna, like, ice me out if i don’t have a vagina?” it’s a joke, can infer as much but his light chuckles, but it is a vague curiosity.

CALLIE

"then you go ask him for some," she nods in the direction of the bar, but it's half-hearted. callie shakes her head when it becomes apparent he's going to use her own cigarette. "what?" the question is so out of left field for a second all she can do is laugh. "oh yeah, sorry. did i not mention? all my friends are man-hating lesbians," her eyes roll at that. "of course they're gonna like you. hate to break it to you, but we wouldn't be doing this if i thought they wouldn't. besides, you gotta be, like, parent catnip, right?" callie finds it hard to believe anyone just wouldn't like him.

ANGEL

“yeah, flip my hair at him?” angel jokes, a boyish smile settling on his face. it only broadens at callie’s tease. “shut up, it could happen.” he’s sure he’s seen it in a movie once, surely written by a man. the plume of smoke is ripped away by the water’s gentle breeze, he ashes into one of the trays. “nuh uh,” angel defends his nonexistent bad boy image, his smile slanted and bashful and no help. “i mean, i’d try to be. but i’m, like, the guy with no degree, barely a job, mostly a bunch of debt. or i dunno, maybe they’d want you with an aussie or somethin’.” somebody to keep her close, he could understand that considering his immediate plans to steal her away to LA. “tell me about your bestie. not dylan.” ‘cause he just figures.

CALLIE

"is that how you flirt?" she teases, already knowing the answer to that. her hand outstretches, silently asking for the cigarette. may as well, since they can't get actual weed here. "barely a job? don't you run your own shop?" she laughs incredulously. "you do remember i'm, like, actually unemployed, right? my nan's gonna just like that you have ambitions." it's not really something she's thought about, but if anyone should be worried about family not approving, it's probably callie. not just the fact that all she has to her name is a golden retriever and a surf board, but also for having to watch her drama unfold with frankie. now she really does need this cigarette. "um, i have a few of them," she admits, taking a drag from the smoke. "there's hannah and bri, who i grew up with. hannah's still in sydney, which made moving back home not completely dull. bri's over in brisbane now, getting her phd. she's crazy smart." definitely the friend that's the least like herself. "there's also amanda, who was my roommate back in san diego. i'm still really close with her. she's constantly trying to get me to move back, but she's living with her girlfriend now, so it's not like she needs the roomie." she takes another puff before handing it back. "what about yours? are they gonna like me, even though i don't know shit about cars?"

ANGEL

“don’t act like you don’t love it when i flip my hair,” he warns, brows lifting and falling like he’s said something salacious. the ciggy’s slotted between her fingers as he sniffs, cants his head in a shrug and plays with her free hand. “yeah, but it’s, like… not jiffy lube or anything,” angel laughs, modest. “it’s hard to say if i can make it into a thing, y’know?” by all accounts a confession, an admission of his real world fears which feels too large and looming backlit by the silly villa qualms of who’s grafting who. “that’s different. you can do anything you wanna do, plus… like, i’m the one who’s supposed to be taking care of you.” a sentiment laced with a false sarcasm, like the heteronormativity and the gender roles are just a joke. angel does believe it though, if even just a little bit. for all his progressive new agey vibes, he admittedly would wanna make sure he was bringing home the bacon. “i love that you have friends in california,” angel buzzes, his smile thinly veiled. “you know hannah and bri from, like, school? that’s kinda sick, i dunno if i’m still homies with anybody from high school anymore.” he takes the cigarette and ashes it, head shaking playfully. “yeah, you’re gonna be walking a thin line. they’re gonna trivia you for sure.” breaking into a laugh, angel cheeses. “nah, my closest buddies aren’t even gearheads. you’re gonna be fine.”

CALLIE

"what, when you flip it in my face while i'm trying to sleep? it's very cute, yeah." it's not like she hasn't admitted time and time again how much she likes his hair, okay. "what do you mean, make it into a thing?" eyebrows arch, not sure if he's being modest or if she just doesn't have the whole picture. "it's a business that you run and you make money from it, don't you? that sounds like a thing to me. like honestly, angel, that's... really bloody impressive." really intimidating too, because it's so wildly different to the life she's returning to, one where she actually has to figure out what she wants to do. in reality, callie will probably just end up living off influencer money for as long as she can, because optimistic notions aside, she can't really do anything she wants when callie has no desire to work at all. though him making the comment about taking care of her throws her off enough to make her cough up her cigarette puff, reaching for the drink in front of her before giving him a dirty look. "what are all your friends from, then?" she asks, once she can breath again. if he didn't meet them as kids or from work, where else do you meet people? "who am i gonna get to meet?"

ANGEL

“mm-mm, i can’t help flipping it in your face ‘cause you’re always, like, all over me when we’re sleeping,” he exaggerates, enjoying the bickering way too much. an inhale is held for a beat of thought, eyes passing over the waves before slinking back to callie. “i mean, make money…,” mouth twists into a shrug, “like, i break even. i dunno, maybe i just been away too long, y’know? getting in my feelings about it. i’m always kinda wiggin’ that it’s gonna fall flat as, like, a passion project kinda vibe, but, nah, i know i can build it up. hire the right guys, maybe open another location one day.” his fire stokes a bit at the thought of her being impressed, an electric jolt with the steep awareness that there’s a whole lot left they’ll be able to see of each other’s lives outside of the villa. callie’s reaction makes him belly laugh, though he opts not to double down for fear of having her hack up a lung. another drag gives him a little time to recount the origins of his besties. “mmm, so i met jimmy through juno, actually. he’s her ex from college. they didn’t date, like, super long, but me and him became homies, like, that’s basically my brother now. then i met my other buddy, mick, through him. he’s, like, this musician, his family’s all in it and shit, but he stays mostly in new york. uh, aside from them, i really just chill with, like, my cousins, y’know? but they’re all gonna love you.”

CALLIE

"oh, yeah, i'm always all over you?" she laughs, swatting him lightly in the arm. "i'll remember that." an empty threat, and surely he knows that by now. "how long have you had the shop for?" she asks, knowing it takes a while for a new business to make profit. how much time, she doesn't know—she was only a psych major in uni. "having your own business sounds so stressful," callie exhales, a little jokey but also fully meaning it. "but no, it sounds like it's been doing pretty well already, and once we get back? i'm sure there's gonna be plenty of new clients coming in, hoping to see some of that heart rate challenge action," she teases. but it's hard to ignore that this place does come with a platform, one that has the ability to really change their lives. "how does she feel with you being besties with her ex?" callie's trying to imagine how dylan would feel if they were in their shoes, but genuinely can't. she had almost forgotten that he said he had all this extended family, more people that she's going to have to be introduced to. california's going to be overwhelming; callie's been so focused on how easy he's going to fit into her life, she hasn't really thought about whether she'll even fit into his. "how many cousins are we talking about?" she laughs a little, trying to will the nerves away.

ANGEL

between the sweetness and the sarcasm, angel feels like a conduit of cringey pda and yet he can’t manage to feel even a scrap of shame for it. “no worries, if you forget i’ll remind you.” because the lack of personal space in their bed is as much his doing as it is her’s. “like, the physical shop i’ve had for… man, almost two years now? before that i was kinda just working on my own rides and, like, renting ‘em out for photo shoots or whatever. so the shop is more like a new venture.” which doesn’t make it easier to be away for even a couple weeks, though callie’s reassurance has him nodding, believing. “hey, that’s same for you, y’know? every fuckin’ surf brand is gonna be paying hand over fist to get you in their stuff. and you already know i’m hiring you as pit crew as long as you’re wearing that fit.” he sighs dreamily with the memory, teasing as much as he is nostalgic for it. his shoulders shift in a shrug, stealing a last hit of the cig before crushing it into the ashtray. “she’s chill now, it’s been, like, a few years, they both dated a bunch of people since then.” he wonders briefly if those two have backslid before since him and jimmy have become friends, decides immediately to abandon that consideration and remain ignorant. “well, i got, like, seven aunts and uncles and they all got at least two kids each… probably ten or so that i’m actually tight with.” angel watches callie’s face a moment before breaking out into a grin. “you feelin’ overwhelmed?” a concept that tickles him, usually only ever sees her utterly in control, her agency absolutely measured. “don’t worry, i’m not gonna throw you into anything you aren’t ready for.”

CALLIE

"a new venture," she parrots back, because it sounds so fantasy when he says it like that. like he's a real business person—which he is, really. it's surreal to think of her angel as someone's boss, paying checks and working and 9 to 5. does the shop even have those hours? there's something to be said about how callie can probably list which fast and furious movies angel likes in order, but the day-to-day operations of his work is a complete mystery to her. "did you make a decent chunk of money doing that, the renting?" she asks, genuinely. "but yeah, i know. part of me is stoked for it, too. i could use a new wetsuit," callie admits, lips curved. "but i don't know. we'll see. i'm not ready to go back to real life just yet." some parts very much so, but others—like working—can definitely wait. "yeah? can i get a job at the shop?" she squeezes his knee from beneath the table, grinning. "that's good. my brother dated hannah for a bit in high school, but it ended totally shit. i was pissed at him for weeks after." so awkward when your friends date your brother. callie makes a face when he calls her out for looking overwhelmed, though he seems so happy about it she can't help but laugh. "a little bit," she says, not afraid to admit it, "but in a good way. i'm excited for it. my family's gonna feel so small compared to yours, though."

day :   thirty-seven / night

location :   kitchen

featuring :    @cruelsxmmcr​

WHEN THE KITCHEN NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE the set of a bad cooking show, josh makes a beeline to get in there and pour himself a drink. it seems like he’s not the only one with the idea.   “ you come here for the booze, too ? ”   he asks, looking up at dylan with... well, not a smile, but also more friendliness than he would’ve in the past few days. despite being the conductor of the dylan sucks train yesterday, josh has come to realize that if dylan and naomi are going to be friends—and dylan is going to continue to be close to his other friends, like adela and romi—then he may as well get on board with trying to win the guy over. surely if naomi could be his friend after stomping on his heart, josh has a shot.   “ i feel like you’re always the one behind the bar. lemme make you something for a change. got a preference in liquor ? ”

[inquixotic]

EXIT INTERVIEW: MALI WATTAPOHN.

did you see that dumping coming at all?

“haha, very funny.” she’s done very good at being strong ‘til now, with wanting to be sure the other villa knew adela was playing games before she goes, but it’s sort of sinking in now and the heaviness in their chest is pressing. “yes, i did. josh is the strongest connection i made other than phoebe, and he told me he wasn’t bringing me back a few times. i knew going into it what the outcome would be for me.” 

do you think you deserved to stick around?

“i don’t know about deserve, or even want.” it’s the honest truth for them. “i wouldn’t want someone to bring me back as a friend, and it was pretty clear i wouldn’t be staying in any sort of romantic sense, with naomi being such a big unknown. so i think my time ending here makes sense.” 

is there anything you would’ve done differently on the inside?

“perhaps if i hadn’t talked to josh, had such a good vibe with him, i could’ve cracked on better with marcus, but...i don’t think i regret it, exactly. i don’t think i’d change anything i did.” 

is there anyone else you would’ve liked to see leave instead?

“not really. i wish i was the only one going. but honestly?” there’s a slight crack in her composure and she pauses to grit her teeth and smile. “i hope josh goes next, selfishly. i don’t know that i’ll be tuning into the rest to find out.” 

do you think any of the current couples have a shot at making it to the end? who would you like to see win?

“i hope marcus and romi can work it out, if his feelings are strong enough to leave val behind for. i really thought their connection was something good. i think, if i had to pick, i’d choose them or frankie and miles. i don’t know the other couples well enough, since it seems like the rest chose not to stick.” 

who do you think you’ll stay friends with after leaving the villa?

“i am taking phoebe on a trip anywhere she likes, on me.” the streak of stubbornness is back. dylan can say he didn’t mean to play her, but she’s not looking to buy anything he has to say after choosing her as his favorite bombshell in all of the challenges. “val and i, too, maybe. the others...i don’t know. i’d like to think frankie would still like to be my friend after this, too, but i’m not holding my breath either.” 

anything else you’d like to add about your time in the villa?

“i know twitter probably thinks i’m a complete moron for how i played that, should they choose to view it as a game, but all i wanted was something good. even if i think i might’ve found it, it doesn’t really matter if he doesn’t agree.” she will not cry over a stupid boy on tv, it’s against her ethics, thank you very much, but their smile is faltering a little. “i didn’t say much at the fire pit regarding him because i don’t want to be the reason things are harder than they need to be on him. or, more of the reason, i guess.” there’s no way it doesn’t come up that he fucked her, unfortunately for him. “i’m sure adela’s petty enough to try to exact some kind of revenge through him, but that says more about her than it does about me, frankly. if she does, i hope he won’t hold that against me. that’s all i can do.” 

[crackonhq]

IT’S THE LOVE ISLAND FINALE!!!!! 

for the finale, i took the TOP FOUR couples from our vote and threw out the rest, so there were still 8 characters left standing when the winners were announced. your final four are:

naomi & josh

jenny & jude

callie & angel

adela & dylan

IN FOURTH PLACE...

adela and dylan received 16% of the vote. adela and dylan had a rocky start when they met in casa while dylan was still coupled up with naomi. he had options, but couldn’t deny the chemistry he had with adela, and chose to bring her back because he felt like they had a shot at romance. they’ve stuck it out ‘til the final, and we wish them the best in continuing their romance in the real world !

IN THIRD PLACE...

jenny and jude received 24% of the vote. jenny and jude both explored in casa before realizing that they couldn’t deny their feelings and that it was going to work best with each other. jenny was coupled up with josh, but they left things on uncertain terms when she brought back jude from casa. a couple weeks later, jude asked jenny to be his girlfriend on the boat cruise and the two have been attached at the hip since. 

IN SECOND PLACE...

naomi and josh received 28% of the vote. naomi and josh were first coupled up on day two when she stole him from his day one couple. while they continued to gravitate toward each other as new bombshells entered the villa, the decision to explore other options broke them up before the start to casa amor. josh returned from the other villa intent on winning naomi back, and the couple made things official after movie night. now they’ll be making the return flight to canada as a couple. 

IN FIRST PLACE...

angel and callie recieved 32% of the vote. angel and callie got together in casa amor. callie was coupled up with frankie at the time, but decided to give angel a chance while she was feeling uncertain about her potential with frankie. callie’s connection with angel proved to be too strong to ignore, and she brought him back to the villa with the intention of focusing on him. the two have been completely about each other since, and angel popped the ( girlfriend ) question just before their last week together in the villa. now they won’t just be going home in a relationship, but they’ll be taking $50,000 with them. 

congratulations to our winners, all our happy couples, and thanks for a great season !!

how are you feeling in your decision to couple up or stay single ?

  “ didn’t really have much choice in the matter ! ”  he laughs, feeling like a cuck, because the power really was all in jenny’s hands for that one.  “ but i’m glad jenny picked me. obviously, there’s stuff she needs to work through with josh, and that’s fine. i don’t like seeing them chat, but i also don’t see it being a problem ? at the end of the day, she got the better bloke, ”  he grins, cheekily jerking his thumb in his own direction, “ and josh seems fully into naomi, which works for me obviously, so yeah. feeling pretty happy. ”

are you happy in your couple or do you think your head could be turned ?

 “ i don’t see my head turning at this point, nah. i mean maybe someone more my type would come in, and maybe i’d have a better time with them, sure, but i don’t really care about that too much. i’m chilling with jenny. staying in my lane. me and angel’s new motto is no trouble, and that’s kinda what i’m trying to do. just keep my head down. obviously jenny makes that hard sometimes, squaring up to people left and right, but i’d be lying if i said it wasn’t cute. she’s fiery. i like that. but then again, i thought my head wouldn’t be turned from romi, so never say never.  ”

what are your thoughts on seb & bash & rhys’ exit last night ? why did you vote the way you did ?

 “ obviously it’s sad when people go. rhys was always a decent geezer to me, and bash seemed like a fun guy. seb and i never really got too close, but he seemed alright. i don’t really have too much of an opinion, but i know it affected jenny a lot seeing them go, especially rhys... so yeah, just gotta be there for her i guess. ”

out of everyone left, who would be the hardest person to see go ?

  “ obviously jenny. but unless it was one of those save one half of a couple, send the other half home type deals, i don’t see why that would happen. and realistically, she’d get saved over me. angel would probably be the hardest to see go. like, that’s my boy. ”  angel’s probably the only person, other than jenny, who jude would consider leaving with. though honestly having an all-expenses-paid holiday would probably win out.  “ charlene’s a top lass. if she left without finding anything, it’d be a crying shame. in a weird way, i’d miss dante, too ? i know we had our shit in casa but he’s grown on me. and i probably have to say callie, too, ‘cos that’s angel’s bird. ”

who seems like the strongest couple right now and why ?

“ other than me and jen ? ”  he laughs, self-consciously. “ nah, i’m kidding. angel and callie are solid as fuck. i know there was some kinda drama last night, but honesty, bro, i think they’re golden. if anyone can make it, it’s probably them. ”

who seems like the weakest couple right now and why ?    

“ josh and marcus ?  are they technically a couple ?  i don’t know, maybe frankie and her man since she apparently she was planting the moves on her ex.  romi and dante don’t seem too strong either, just based on what i’ve seen. or maybe adela and dylan. everyone i’ve spoken to seems under the impression that she used him as a free ticket back to the villa, which fair play to her, but kinda sus. plus they were in the bottom two, so... yeah, pretty much all of them are wobbly, man. ”

how are you feeling about movie night ? did anything surprise you ?

“i really shouldn’t even say anything about movie night because my movie wasn’t even aired, you know? so it’s just, like—already it’s not really fair. but it’s just... we’d been fighting so much, it was like, why are we doing this? so i just let him know that like, obviously him saying ‘maybe, i dunno,’ about whether or not he was excited to be coupled with me? yeah, super not cool. hated that, actually. but... yeah. we moved on, easy peasy. other people’s movies were way worse though. like, the adela and josh stuff?” she sits back, eyes going wide with judgment. “i dunno, dude. that was slimy—like, it’d take me a while to forgive that, not gonna lie. i actually look at josh kind of differently now and he definitely couldn’t have made it any clearer that he doesn’t trust naomi. and then the romi love bomb? obviously that was gonna make it in there, but that was tough to watch. i think they were struggling a bit with that one. yeah, i dunno. the popcorn was def essential.” 

what are your thoughts on romi and marcus’s decision to leave ?

“i wish they stayed. and i wish i’d gotten to talk to romi one more time before they left because like, i would’ve told them that. we obviously had a really rocky start and like, watching that clip of us fighting was probably one of the hardest parts of movie night for me, but i feel like we kind of found this like, understanding in the end? but by that point i think they just felt so beaten down and so tired and like, maybe if she had one more voice on her side she would’ve changed her mind? every time anything goes even a little sideways for me i like, convince myself no one likes me and no one wants me here and i’m ready to walk too, so maybe if they had one more person... who knows. i don’t blame her, though. i wish her and marcus the best—i really hope they work out.” 

are you happy in your couple or do you think your head could be turned ?

“at this point, i don’t really think my head can be turned. it’s hard though, because attraction doesn’t just disappear when you’re with someone, and everyone here is like, super fucking hot,” her head tips back with a groan. “but i don’t want to fuck things up with jude. like, i am straight up obsessed with this man. i won’t fuck it up.” 

what are your thoughts on santiago and victoria ? are either of them your type ? do you think your partner would be interested in them ?

“both victoria and santiago brought me on dates, which was such a stroke to the ego. like, when i tell you i needed that... but again, i’m not really like, looking? like, the attention was definitely really flattering and it was fun to just be going on dates and doing something different. and yeah, victoria’s got really good banter and this like, energy, and santiago’s the definition of tall dark and handsome. like, his presence alone is just... overwhelming. do you know what i mean? like, overwhelming, and you know, maybe if he’d come in a little earlier or if the timing was different... but i was just kind of comparing him to jude most of the time. like, yeah he’s beautiful and i’m sure the sex would be great, but... jude is beautiful and the sex is great and there’s already so much more than that. so i dunno... on the bright side, victoria’s a lesbian and jude would definitely hate santiago, so i don’t think i have to worry about them swooping in and stealing my mans, thank fuck.”

are you grafting right now ? if so, who is at the top of your list ?

“i’m not even grafting anymore, so let’s just hope jude doesn’t break my heart,” her smile is nervous but excited, holding up two fingers for the camera, crossed and hopeful.

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐞 & 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞  + 𝚠𝚎𝚋 𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐  /   @graftisms​ a.k.a the most talked abt relationship this casa season. ​

CALLIE :  “we left things kinda weird too. i’ve made my feelings known enough that if i got on with anyone else, it’d look so muggy. but i also have to accept she’s probably doing the same, which bloody sucks.” /  ROMI :  “i mean, do you genuinely think she’s being loyal to you in the other villa?” because the answer feels like a pretty clear no.  /  NAOMI :  “honestly… i don’t trust frankie. i honestly hope that callie will give some of you guys a chance, at least see if something’s there.  /  STELLA:  “i didn’t get the impression that frankie’s all in...but i couldn’t tell if that’s just how the editing is.”   /  CHARLENE : “frankie was lucky to have you and it sucks she didn’t realize that sooner.”/  FRANKIE :  “ i think my boobs have grown. maybe it’s a homing signal because i’m like, missing callie or whatever. “  /   JOSH :   “ you haven’t even been here a week. are you actually wifed up ?” /  MALI :  "just look at you and callie, i mean..." a wistful sigh, as if that's something she'd genuinely want for herself. to mali, they feel a little vanilla.  /  ADELA : she’d like to believe frankie is calling for help; callie is stale and definitely not keeping her on her toes.  /  DYLAN :  “ whatever happens, don’t hurt her. please.”

day 34, morning, kitchen

adela & naomi @heatwayve​​

naomi's been some sort of enigma since adela's been at the main villa— she truly thought that any interaction with her would swiftly turn sour. but for some reason, she thinks she actually likes her. the fact that naomi came over to her at all last night was stunning, a lot more so than her vote to save her and dylan, or that they were saved over rhys and bash at all. it's not like naomi is doing these things in an active attempt to befriend her… they're just in each others vicinities, seem to not clash somehow. adela's sure if there was a bone to bark and bite at she'd take the opportunity, but as of now, she’s pretty sure they get on. it's a bad look for her when she's been taking any chance to shit on naomi whenever she's brought up, feels a bit like a hypocrite for it, her stubbornness wanting to hate her regardless, call her a bitch right now just to solidify it. instead; " good morning. " there's a chime in her voice, a permanent smile on her lips— even if last night was a shitshow, her night didn't end with the same conclusion—and the more times she wakes up next to dylan the more she likes it. “ kind of bummed we didn’t get to have that drink last night, ” adela says, though she’s not that bummed to have been doing what she was doing instead. “ though, i wouldn’t be against a little apéritif to start the day. “ she suggests, small grin on her lips. day drinking is totally fine, they’re on vacation.

BEACH HUT CONFESSIONALS 001 — EDEN FOSTER

BOMBSHELL ENTRANCE:

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT ENTERING THE VILLA? 

“ oh i’m absolutely stoked. i saw callie on the show and thought like, now there’s a girl with an idea. ”  her smile widens and she leans forward in the chair.  “ like i know i should be nervous or something but i’m just not y’know? ”  it helps that she’s used to a sort of reality tv type beat. talking in front of a camera is comfortable at this point given interviews or her family’s little day in the life show.  “ the camera’s don’t really faze me or anything and i’ve done this long enough not to like.. have a total freak out like that one guy with the hair, reece? or the boxer trying to throw his dick everywhere? or the other blonde? jenny’s an absolute dream but she’s gotta work on grounding breathing exercises. really, i’m just here to have a good time and whatever it is at the end of the day that’s that. ”  eden shrugs, bright smile returning to her features.  “ like obviously i’m hoping to find someone grand but i’m also being realistic. shoot for the moon, yeah? stars are pretty too. ” 

IS THERE ANYONE WHO YOU HAD YOUR EYE ON ALREADY OR HAS CAUGHT YOUR EYE OFF THE BAT THAT YOU’D BE INTERESTED IN GOING FOR? 

“ oh definitely. ” her expression twist as if she’s asking ‘are you serious?’  “ yeah a lot of the islanders already seem pretty ace. i’ve got a few that i’m looking forward to pulling for a chat before others, like miles, frankie, adela, but i’m keen on getting a chat in with everybody. not because i’m desperate or anything, ”  she laughs, pointing at the producers behind the camera,  “ but how else are you going to know if you’ve got chemistry with someone if you don’t even try to entertain a conversation? how do you know there’s not that spark or fireworks if you don’t go for the kiss? ”   

WHICH COUPLES SEEM THE MOST SOLID TO YOU? LEAST SOLID? 

her nose scrunches, clearly not wanting to answer this question and not having a good answer for it either.  “ none of them? ”  she feels bad saying that, but all of these couples seem so shaken around.  “ i mean if you want to get into it i guess angel and callie have got a really good thing going? but something about callie and frankie feels severely unfinished, like if they don’t get it out now they’re going to end up doing something they regret later or hurting their partners. like not intentionally, but that original fire pit just felt... intense. even in here, you don’t react that way to someone you’re over. i think jude and jenny are sweet. i’d like to see them succeed, i think he’s sweet to her despite the fact he looks like he would kill a pair of tracky daks. you think he owns ‘em? ” 

WHAT PEOPLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF GETTING ALONG WITH?

“ overly optimistic to say everyone, like i’m being thrown into the lion’s den here, but that’s not unfamiliar in the slightest. plus i know cal, she and i ran in a pretty similar circle a while back. ”  her tone’s light, teasing. who would she be if she didn’t make some sort of wild animal reference right out the gate?  “ i’m gonna have to put a little more thought into what comes out of my mouth from time to time but i just call it like i see it. i’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, the last thing i wanna do is make anyone upset. so like... that’s gonna be the thing. i hope i get on with angel and charlene. they seem like a good time, dante and jude maybe? ” 

WHAT PEOPLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF NOT GETTING ALONG WITH? 

“ i’m not like hoping to go in making enemies. that’s not my speed. ”  she tries to make this aggressively clear,  “ but maybe dylan? maybe. which is like wild considering that’s another true blue right there but i think he just takes himself so seriously and i’m not really about that. but i hope that’s not the case. um... i don’t really know how it’ll go with josh. or naomi.  i don’t want to get sucked into that whirlpool of a mess just by being in their sheer proximity so maybe i’ll stay away from that with no less than a six foot pole. ”

WHEN & WHERE: day thirty-five / afternoon / lounge area

As fun as the challenge yesterday had been, Dylan won’t admit that there was a part of him that was anxious when Naomi danced on him, considering she knew exactly what he liked. Yeah, it had been embarrassing to see that it was Romi and not Adela who raised his heart the most, but he’d take that over Naomi. Being the one who raised her heart the most has him just a little smug (because unfortunately, Dylan is, at his core, a man), but for the most part he’s not taking any of it seriously. He hasn’t seen much of her in between yesterday night and today so far, so when he sees her alone in the lounge area, he moves to sit down next to her. “Safe to say most are into cowgirls, hm?” he teases lightly, considering she raised the most hearts cumulatively. || @heatwayve​

BEACH HUT CONFESSIONALS 11: JOSHUA VARGAS DAY THIRTY-ONE ( CASA DAY 4 )

what are you most looking forward to about reuniting with the other villa ?   what are you dreading the most ?

“ oh man, i’m kinda going crazy right now, ”   josh laughs.   “ i was excited when i first heard the text, because obviously i’ve been talking about finally getting to talk things out with naomi for days now. but... it’s not going to be easy, either. for all i know she could be coming back with someone. hell, she probably is coming back with someone, knowing her. so that won’t be easy, but i’m also looking forward to it too ?   i don’t know. i’m definitely excited to see romi again though, i’ve missed her like mad. rhys too, i hope he’s got a nice guy or girl or whatever coming back with him. the guy deserves it. i’m... not looking forward to seeing jenny again, honestly. ”   josh rubs the back of his neck.   “ it’s been easy to ignore the way things left off with us while she’s been gone, but i actually don’t know where her head’s at. i’m assuming she’s bringing someone back too, but that doesn’t mean things between us are finished. i mean, for me they are. they have to be. yeah. ”

if you were to stick, why would you ?   why would you consider switching ?

“ i don’t know, y’know. i think everyone at this point in casa knows that i want to be with naomi, but there’s no ignoring that she’s probably bringing some dude back. plus after sleeping with mali on night one, i doubt she’s going to be able to suddenly trust me again. and then there’s the whole dylan thing, so... it would be smart to bring someone back, just in case. i’m trying to figure out if i should be game playing here—because everything’s a game with naomi—or just shoot my shot, even if it means getting dumped. ” 

if none of the bombshells could come back, who would you miss most ?

“ layla, for sure. i think if i were to bring anyone back right now, it’s gonna be her. though, to be honest, i do think phoebe deserves a shot too. i don’t know what happened between her and dylan yesterday, but she seems really upset, and she’s a sweet girl. even if she did friendzone me. and then miles, obviously, ”   josh laughs.   “ if frankie doesn’t bring him back, i just might do it myself. he’s a really good dude, reminds me of my friends back home. i haven’t had a friend like that here since luke, so it’s been nice. a highlight of casa. ”   he pauses.   “ i’ll probably miss mali too, even though i know how that sounds. i don’t know, maybe i should be bringing her back out of anyone. ”

what conversations do you need to have most when you reunite ?

“ besides the obvious ? ”   he laughs.   “ no, i’ll probably wait to see if dylan and naomi are gonna hash their shit out immediately, otherwise pull naomi first. i think the longer we go without talking, i’ll start breaking out into hives. jenny will have to come eventually too, but... that one can wait a bit longer. ”

what are you feeling about the decisions of the other islanders ?   who do you think has made the best connection ?

“ the best connection is frankie and miles, for sure. i really should’ve voted them for the hideaway. dylan feels like a waste of a vote now. but there’s no way she’s not bringing him back. i guess i should say val and marcus too, since they’ve been all over each other this entire time, but i don’t know. i’m biased, but i think if marcus brings val back, it’s just delaying the inevitable about him and romi getting back together. i still don’t love the way their relationship ended, on both of them, but there’s no way they’re ending this thing with other people. i think he should come back single for romi. ”   josh shrugs.   “ dylan, well. who knows what he’s thinking. i’m assuming he’s bringing back adela at this point, since he’s moved from phoebe to her in twenty-four hours. they seem into each other, so hey, good for them. it’ll be good to keep adela around, although i don’t love the idea of her and naomi talking about me. i just hope he doesn’t come back single. like, he’d be an idiot for that, and it might make me have to rethink what the hell i’m doing. it’d be naive to think what dylan does won’t affect me. but who knows—if he doesn’t bring back adela, maybe i’ll have to do it myself. ”
