What is up Daddy Gang? It is your founding father Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy.
Amaya Papaya, welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Oh my God, thank you for having me, the Alex Cooper.
No, I'm so excited to meet you. I feel like I've been watching you for like months now and now to get to meet you in person, it feels pretty surreal, honestly.
Oh my God.
Okay, you are straight from Fiji to the studio. You just won Love Island. How the fuck are you feeling?
Man, I'm feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude. It's nothing but positive feelings, but I really do feel seen and validated.
Truly, like America fell in love with you and you became a fan favorite like pretty quickly early on. But did you feel that way in the villa, Amaya?
Girl, I was so, we were all so isolated.
Yeah.
And it really got to the point where I was like, I felt so misunderstood. And I'm like, wait, is there something wrong with me? Like, what am I doing wrong? Because in the real world, when you're feeling like that, you could easily just block someone. But while being there, you have to like be around in certain situations. So.
Do you usually block people?
Yeah, I'm usually I'm the person who'd be like, okay, you know what? Bye. Peace out. Block.
You're heavy on the block.
I'm heavy on the block, girl. I like, I probably have so many people blocked that I don't even remember why. Maybe they didn't like the way my cat looked and I'm like, you know what? Block.
Wait, you have cats?
Yes.
How many? I didn't know if you were talking about your cat or your kitty cat.
Oh.
Wait, how many cats do you have?
Um, I have two. So Romeo.
Romeo.
And Luna.
Oh my God, I'm obsessed. We first of all have to talk about the sweats.
I love.
Sensitive gangsta.
Made in honor of you. Can you explain to me like, what is the story behind you calling yourself a sensitive gangsta? Cause that literally is like the most viral fucking thing.
That's crazy. Okay. Yeah. So sensitive gangster is just someone who's very in touch with their feelings and isn't afraid to emote. Is that the right word?
Yep.
Yeah. Okay.
Um, to just show it and gangster is just like, okay, these tears, don't let them fool you, baby. I'll cry while still holding my own toes down. Like, I'm still very grounded, but I, I'll probably just be crying in the process of standing up for myself.
Okay, that's literally the perfect definition. Someone changed that in the fucking dictionary. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Brooklyn. Shout out to Peggy.
How would you have described yourself as a kid?
I would definitely say I was a kid who would literally just follow people in the park and be like, hi. And then the, my favorite thing to do in the swings was to make the swings. You know when you tie the swings up? I'll just be there like, yeah, it's like getting so dizzy, but I definitely used to always like just, even if the conversations didn't include me, guess what? I'm inserting myself into a sandwich. Like, hi.
Oh Maya, I'm obsessed with you. Okay. Who was your celebrity crush growing up?
Um, my celebrity crush growing up, I would definitely say, hmm, I have a few.
Okay, name them bitch.
I would definitely say Jacob Elardy. Yes. Especially when he played Nate. I was like, oh.
Oh, okay. He was like, I love what you're saying specifically when he played Nate. That's like a little, do you like a bad boy?
No, no, no. We did not like Nate. We just liked how he looked as Nate.
We do not stand with Nate, okay? Oh my god.
I love the clarification. Okay, what superlative do you think you would have gotten in high school?
What's that?
You know, a superlative is like, you would have been like the class clown. You were made to be famous. You were the most talkative. You would have been known to live in your mom's basement for the rest of your life. You were gonna be a professional singer. Like, what do you think people would have labeled you as?
Okay, I would definitely say most talkative. Like, to the point where sometimes the teachers would have to like make me sit outside the room. They're like, but shut the fuck up. But god forbid, I'm gonna yap. I'm a yapper.
I love that for you. Okay, what made you want to become a nurse?
So, I definitely just the caring side and I'm a, I'm a big in path. And I also just felt like I want, I definitely do want to take my education more. Uh, like I want to go back to school for my PhD. So I could eventually become a professor for nursing students. But yeah, I was just like, when it came down to making the decision of what career path I wanted to go, there was no question. I was like, nurse, am I a cute and caring?
Wait, I'm dying. I would imagine, I think all of us would be so happy if we got you as our nurse.
Watching you walk in and smile. Like, I thought about that. Like, when do you think you're gonna go back? Are you gonna go back to work?
I definitely do see myself, um, still becoming a nurse. But the thing is, it's like, when my patients, I'm such a bit like, girl, if my patients are crying, I'll probably like shed a tear and just be there for them. Cause you have to keep in mind that I'm with people on their worst day. Like when they're feeling sick. So I want to be the person, the sunshine of their rainy day.
I'm fucking obsessed with you. Okay, if you're going out with your girlfriends in New York, what are you doing? What's like your dream night out plans?
Girl, first of all, I love a girl's night out, okay? Dressing up in heels, going to, um, a truffle pasta restaurant. But yeah, so definitely will be all of us dressing up in heels, going to a nice restaurant, and going to a lounge. Like, I love a speakeasy. I love a dynamic like this where we're able to actually hear each other. Come back to like, girl, what you said? What did he do?
That's so real. You're like, I can't hear one fucking thing. You're just nodding pretending you know what the fuck they're saying? Okay, what was your longest term relationship?
My longest term was my first boyfriend. We were together for almost four to five years, sixteen to twenty one.
My god, why did it end?
Affairs.
No.
And like him being unfaithful. And after a while, like a girl, this, there's a reason why my standards are the way they are now. Cause sometimes you have to just go through some shit. So like, girl, a laxative was taken for real. I went through some shit, okay? So now I am the who I am now.
That's actually hilarious.
So seriously.
Wait, wait.
Explosive diarrhea.
How did you find out? I'm sorry, I'm not laughing about you getting cheated on, laughing at you saying explosive diarrhea. Um, how did you find out that he cheated?
I mean, I, there will be girls DMing me to let me know. Sometimes a girl went through the phone. I'm traumatized with the phone now. I'm like, please turn it away. But yeah.
And how, after you found, like, how did you have the courage to end it? Cause I'm assuming you saw like a couple things and then how did you know you needed to put an end to it?
At a certain point when behavior just weren't changing.
Like, and then it started to make me feel like I needed to question myself. And like, am I pretty enough? And like, what is there wrong with me? But babe, there's never nothing wrong with you. You're just with the wrong person.
Facts. What do you think it's like to date you?
I really do think it's very entertaining to date me. I'm always saying like the most randomest things ever. Um, but I am definitely like a very nice girl. Like, I definitely wanna, after a long day, babe, tell me about your day. Like, I wanna listen to you and make sure that you feel seen and cared for.
Do you have a type?
Um, you know what, like, of course, like, I wanna be attracted to someone, but it's the personality that would make me more attracted to someone. So, once that personality and I start seeing certain colors, I'm like, where's my exit out?
And then on to the next.
Personality starts first. If you could create a dream man, what would he be like? What he would he look like? And what would he do for work?
Okay, so I would say he definitely has to be taller than me. It was just not hard to find. Girls will need like five, three, but definitely like I like somebody over six feet. I like somebody who's tatted up, that tattoo. Like, I feel like tattoos is another way of somebody create, like, expressing their creative style. Like, I, so I find that beautiful. Um, and a strong man, but not too strong. Like, you know, like, somebody who, I don't like the whole, like, can you, like, like, it looks like they're about to pop sometimes, like. So.
So fucking real.
Strong, but not that strong.
Right. We're like, you literally, like, go to the gym five times a day.
Yeah, yeah.
Like chill.
Okay, what is your biggest turn off?
My biggest turn off is men speaking badly about other women. Like, seriously, especially if they're always, like, talking bad about your ex. Babe, is that really, was she really the problem? Or were you the problem?

Daddy gang, just because you have a car doesn't mean you have to drive it everywhere.
Sometimes getting an Uber is simply just the better move. Like after a night out with friends where splitting the bottle of wine was obviously the financially responsible decision, or when you have an insanely early flight that felt totally reasonable to book in the moment, but now it's 4 a.m. and you are still half asleep and trying to find a parking spot at a packed concert. Yeah, that is going to take longer than the actual concert will take, but thankfully that's where Uber comes in. With Uber, you can get a ride in minutes because where there are plans happening in your area, there are drivers in your area. Last week, I went to dinner with my girlfriends and while I love this restaurant, the parking situation is an actual nightmare. So instead of making my car my problem for the night, I requested an Uber, got dropped
off right at the restaurant, super easy. Uber request a ride today. Wait times vary. Terms and conditions apply. See app for details. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Shopify. I feel like it's that time of the year where everyone starts to slow down a little bit. We're reflecting on this past year, maybe even, you know, we're writing down a few goals for next year. And if you're starting a business and that is something that's on your list, thankfully the internet has made it easier than ever to do. No matter what stage you're at, Shopify is the best place to start and grow a business. Personally, I have loved how their shop pay feature streamlines the entire checkout process with the holidays coming up.
My online shopping addiction is obviously it's at its peak right now. And so I always get excited when I see that little purple shop pay button at checkout. It makes buying something so fast and easy. Instead of digging through and finding my credit card and typing everything in, you can just check out in one click. Yes, I want those sweatpants. Yes, another pair of sweatpants. And for businesses, that also means fewer carts abandoned and more sales. I also love that Shopify lets me run my entire business straight from my phone so I can upload new merch, check on orders and see what you guys are loving from literally anywhere. It does save me so much time and it lets me actually enjoy the season while growing the business.
So are you ready to add entrepreneur to your list of accomplishments? Head to Shopify.com/daddy. That's Shopify.com/daddy.
You need to tell me about the moment that you found out that you were going on Love Island. Who were you with? Where were you? What was your reaction?
So, okay, so basically I was with my mom. I was taking her away for her birthday, actually, in Cruel South. So it was just like a very me mommy and daughter moment. And then I get the phone call and they're like, yeah, so you're definitely coming. And I'm like, what? Like, this is insane. My mom didn't even know what Love Island was or is. So I was just like, listen, there's some scenes that you might have to turn your head away for. But girl, I'm excited to like do the show, do the whole experience.
Did you apply or did they find you?
So they did find me. Yeah, they sent me a DM. So, yeah.
They slid in your DMs?
They slid in the DMs and go down in the DMs.
Wait, wait, and Amaya, were you a fan of Love Island?
So I never watched a full season.
Okay.
But I feel like once you watch enough TikTok clips, you feel like you know everything that's going on. So I was definitely the one on TikTok like, oh, wait, he did what? But I was so invested.
Got it. Yeah, I mean, it is like a full commitment to actually watch a full season. You watch like 30 something, 40 hours of your life is gone, but it's worth it. Trust me, it was worth it. Okay, most contestants, I feel like, have their family or their friends take over their social media while they're gone. You had no one in your accounts. Why?
To be honest, that was just the last thing I thought or cared about. Like, I honestly really did not care, like, for doing that. I was like, you know what, let me just go and just really indulge in the whole experience. Like, you know, it was just like, it didn't cross my mind.
Which makes, I think, a lot of people love you even more. Because I think they're like, okay, this bitch never was in it for the clout.
Oh, hell to the no. Hell, like, literally, I was like, once he took my phone away, I'm like, okay, mom, I'm not getting kidnapped.
You're like more worried like mom. So it's called Love Island. One more time. I'm gonna be over here in Fiji. If you need to contact me. Bye. Were your friends aware of how big the show is? Like, were they excited for you?
Yeah, so my best friend especially, she was like, girl, oh my god, this is amazing. But I like, I also was single for the first time in a very long time, like for more than a year. And I felt like really confident in myself. So it was a good place of solitude and just me being okay by myself. So then that's when I was like, okay, I'm definitely ready to start dating, you know?
It's a pretty good way to start dating again.
Okay, you come into the villa as a motherfucking bombshell.
Grenades.
Girl.
A good grenade.
A good grenade. Wait, let's clarify. Yes, a good grenade. But like, Amaya, you have to explain to me, how the fuck would you hype yourself up right before you walk out and have to like, make out with all these guys and go into this challenge?
Well, first of all, that is the first time I ever done something like that. My, my Sherry definitely was popped. But like, seriously, I, it was just self-affirmations every day. Like, I was so nervous. I don't know if you guys like could tell. But I was like, you got this, you got this, you got this. So yeah, I was just hyping my own stuff up and just telling myself, do not fall, do not like do anything too crazy, but definitely just go all in.
Are you able to like take a shot before you go out or you're dead sober?
Girl, I am sober as hell. Like I had to do all of that sober. With no taquita, no don hoodio, agafudio. Like it was literally just me doing me.
Raw dogging it.
Raw dogging it, no condoms.
Fuck. That's, that's why like I have so much respect for all of you women in these challenges. Cause I'm like, oh my god, I would have to get into a serious fucking place in my head to go twerk on someone and make out with like five guys and be dead ass sober.
Seriously.
Okay. How much do the bombshells get to watch before you go in? Like, were you aware of who was coupled up with who at that point?
So I was able to watch like a clip of of some scenes, but not the full gist of it. And especially since I got on like early on, um, in the beginning, I think it was like day three for me or day four. I only got to see the beginning. So I didn't really see like how serious certain dynamics were at the time. Very clueless.
Okay, you come in, who do you immediately have your eye on?
Jeremiah with his symmetrical face. He has such a symmetrical face.
I never thought about it like that.
He really does.
So do you.
Oh, really?
Okay, I have a bad ear here that I'm hiding away.
Stop, you literally did your hair today.
There's a reason why this this side is always getting the side that's huge.
That's why we put her in this chair today. We didn't switch because we love her left ear, not the right ear. Wait, I'm dead. Okay, so immediately you were attracted to Jeremiah because of symmetrical face?
Yes, I was like, oh, this man is tall, like, you know, very symmetrical, very, he was, he's handsome.
I'm fucking dying. Okay. Did you feel like you were able at all to like connect with him in that moment because of how kind of serious like Huda and Jeremiah were in the beginning?
Yeah, I mean, it was a very good smooch. Um, and I was like, okay, let me see what happens from here on out. Like, I'm like really down to conversate with him, but we also don't beg, okay, baby? I'm a jogger, but we don't be chasing for these men out here. So once I like, I just wanted to see how the conversations would go. And if it was just going left, I would have been like, all right, thank you, next.
Obsessed. Your first real then connection was with Ace. And bitch, that did not last fucking long. That was like in and out real fucking quick.
And then now burgers outside. We were in and then out.
Dude, it was so quick. It was like, oh, my God, why do you think it fell apart so quickly?
You know?
Boundaries, boundaries and babe like, okay, no, but to be fair, to be serious, it's just like, you know, that was, that's the whole point of the experience. The more you conversate with somebody, you see if there's a real connection there. And if you and this person, what, what is the word? Complement each other?
Like compatible.
Yeah. Um, so it was, it turned out that girl, like, we were just not compatible in a romantic way. We were just.
No, yeah, it almost felt like not even compatible. It was like he in the beginning, I think a lot of people in the internet were like, oh my God, this man is giving like, he really doesn't fuck with you. And it was all off of you just saying like, calling him babe. Just babe, it really, it did, it did not fuck with him. Like, why do you think that bothered him so much?
I mean, to be honest with you, like, to each their own, everybody has their own boundaries. However, it was just like, that's really part of my lingual. And I know he did ask, uh, the question of like, do you usually call your partners babe or something like that? And I just gradually said, yes, I was like, yeah, but like, I guess he thought I was being disrespectful when it's, I'm not going to change who I am or change the way I speak. So like, it's really hard to not have a normal conversation with you because now I feel like I have to think about everything I say.
Totally. You want to be yourself. And if it doesn't work for someone, you're getting the fuck out. Done. Throughout this season, I feel like a huge conversation online was Ace was kind of like, really criticized for trying to be like the leader of the villa. How did you guys feel in the villa? Like, did he feel like this big leader or was that kind of just like portrayed online differently?
To be honest with you, like Ace just has a very like strong personality and he's the type of person that if he feels a type of way, he would definitely speak up on it. So I think that's what it was more about, like compared to some other people, they were very quiet or more of a follower or like, you know, um, well, not like a follower essentially, but.
I get it. Like not as outspoken and like speaking up about certain things that are upsetting him. Do you think, cause I think like, I even felt this way watching it. Like, do you think there was any part of Ace that voted out Jeremiah because he kind of saw him as like this threat of like man to man, like you're I'm kind of competing with this person?
Yeah. So I was trying to get like, you know, the tea during the villa of like, wait, what's going on? Like, what's the beef? Like, why is there like a back and forth between him and Jeremiah? But the guys just personally, from what they said, they felt as if Jeremiah was just using, wasn't there for the right reason?
There was a huge rumor online that Ace and Shelly had secretly been dating before going on the show. We know they met and they acknowledged that, but people were like convinced there was something more outside of the villa. What was your take on that whole thing?
To be honest with you, I like, I believed Shadi when she said that her and Ace like definitely like met outside of the club once. But from what it seemed like, it didn't really seem like they really knew much of each other like before that. I guess it was just that once an interaction, probably slid it in the DMs. Once again, that goes down in the DMs. But I don't think they were like dating, dating.
So it didn't feel like they were playing a game?
And can you clarify, like, because I think maybe it was like Jeremiah or Ace or someone said this on Impressed, like, a bunch of you kind of low key knew each other from social media? Is that fair to say?
So it's so funny because I knew of Shadi before going into the villa. We worked with the same photographer before. So he would always post their content. And I'm like, oh, wait, like, I would hype her up. She's a gorgeous woman. So going into the villa, keep in mind, me and her have never hung out before. I was like, are you slim? Didn't like, girl, I know you. Like, we follow each other. So we knew of each other. And yeah, it wasn't like-
Okay. So she was the only person you knew of?
Okay, that's good. Okay. There was a lot of speculation. Can you confirm, is Ace actually 5'10"?
Man, I'm really bad with height.
How tall are you?
I'm five three, five three.
So he was taller than you?
Yes, he was taller than me.
But shorter than Huda?
Nah.
Sweet, how tall?
Huda's five two.
Wait, she is?
On line it says Huda is five nine.
No, she is not. She is nowhere near five nine.
Okay, so maybe he's like five eight.
Five eight, yeah.
Five eight.
Okay, okay. Um, coming in as a bombshell obviously can put women on edge.
What was it like? Like, was it hard for you to make friends immediately?
You know, I would have to say the first couple of days were tough a little bit, you know? Just coming in as a bombshell, like you said, people could be uneasy with that. Or sometimes they're already are in a couple, so it's kind of like you're taking away their quote unquote man or boo. Um, so yeah, I remembered like the first couple of nights where I was sleeping. I like cried myself to sleep and then somebody in the bedroom was like, is someone crying? And I'm like, no, it's just my allergies, bro.
God forbid a girl has allergies. I was like in the bed like, like, like just crying in bed and then somebody was like, who is doing that? And I'm like, oh, bro, it's just allergies. Waking up with my face all puffy, because I'm just sensitive, like honestly, like, and ob- obviously like after a while, I didn't feel like that like anymore. But especially with the argument between Ace and I and how I was probably portrayed. It was just like, damn, man, like, I'll just go to my corner and be my own best friend.
Dude, that makes me so sad for you. I wish I could have like hugged you while you're like sniffling. That makes me so sad. I think a big moment, obviously, I know you and Huda are in a good place now.
But when you first came into the villa, the tensions were high. And were you surprised at all by her reaction with the Jeremiah thing and you at all?
Um. Like surprised in a way was like damn like she really has strong feelings for him you know like and I like I would always stand up for myself so I I I don't think to be like confrontational or anything like that but I definitely will hold my own ground but just seeing how serious they were I was like damn like okay you could like that's yours
That's yours
Yeah
We saw her venting about you to the other girl saying quote that bitch is fucking messy Did you know that?
No
So after the challenge and you guys like kissing she talked to the girls and was like that bitch is fucking messy Did she ever say anything to you about your situation with Jeremiah or no?
I no not really I mean I remember one time we were getting dressed in a dressing room and this was like day two for me and and the girls were just asking me like who are you going to talk to so then I like slowly named the guys and there was like a mic drop moment where I was like I'mma talk to Jeremiah and then I just like looked at her straight in her face and she was like getting do a sitting on the floor doing her makeup to like see like what she she'll say and she was like you can talk to him you can explore him so man I like messy baby we clean up that mess where's the broom? The broom was in the corner waiting for me
I think a lot of people thought like especially online because we're not in the rooms with you guys thought like wow Huda is intimidating like we saw there was a moment with Nick where he was like I'm so intimidated by you like when you are in Huda's presence like is she intimidating like what's the vibe?
Girl she is the funniest girl I have ever met like the nicest girl very motherly you know she is a great mommy so she just has that very nurture inside to her and I know we did start it off in a rocky place but girl sometimes friendships the great friendships are are like starts from that and eventually with time it just was clear that we were really misunderstood me and her which made us bond to each other even more like we yeah you know like if we just felt like nobody really understood how Steep we are with our feelings. So we just bonded off of that, like going on forward.
That makes sense because I feel like a lot of watching of the villa, like you can tell there's certain people that gravitate towards each other. And I agree, I felt like you and Hoda weren't that close in the beginning, but towards the end, you guys, even if we see like a shot of you guys behind whoever they're like filming, you guys are together talking, eating together, like you guys kind of really got together. But I didn't know why, and that makes a lot of sense. Cause you guys had kind of similar situations in a way. Okay, we have to talk about another one of the biggest conversations online. Was what the fuck went down in the heart rate challenge? Amaya, Amaya, Amaya.
Everyone is like, did Hoda take it too far? None of us were there. We couldn't see the angle. Do you think she took it too far with Ace?
I mean, listen, she, whenever we do challenges, we just really go all in. Like we don't have a TV, we don't have our phones. This is our entertainment. Like we're like, okay, we're in an amusement park. Let's just go for the ride. So, you know, seriously, and listen, one thing about my girl is she's a great dancer. She knows how to, when she shakes that booty, it's an earthquake falling through. So, you know, I believe that she really just had fun. And lost in the moment, like lost in the sauce. Like she's just having fun, you know?
Yeah, she's twerking, it's all going down.
We don't think like she should have been like attacked or.
Cause I think a lot of.
It's just a chance, it's just a chance, it's just.
It's just a challenge, it's just a challenge. Until is it not a challenge? What's happening? I think what happened, because you guys don't get to see the edits that we watched, was like she got on top of him. And then basically why there was this conspiracy theory was we see her flip around. Her ass is in his face and then the next shot, it's cut and she's like getting up. So everyone is convinced that she put her ass. Can you confirm or deny?
I was, my mouth was to the floor, watched the whole performance. I was also mesmerized by the booty. I was like, damn, there's a lot going on. I think she probably, I think it was definitely like face down, ass up, jiggle me, jiggle me, like.
Do you think Shelley was in the right for being upset or was it taken too far?
Ah, I would have to say I kind of a little like get Chuddy's point in a way, you know, like, okay, I guess you guys are having the strongest connection currently. Um, but since you guys aren't officially closed off yet, then it's like fair game.
Facts. Okay. I need to know back to when I had asked you earlier, did you guys get to take shots? Is there music playing in this heart rate challenge or is it dead fucking silent?
We listened to the same song for like, I think two or three times.
Wait, can you play it for me? Like sing it.
Oh, girl, it was Nicki Minaj's Starships.
Let's get this.
Okay, wait, at least it's Nicki Minaj.
I thought it was supposed to be fucking elevator music.
Oh, no, no, no. Oh my God, that would have been so, that actually that would have been so funny. I think I would have not been able to take it serious.
It's like.
And you're like shaking that ass. Okay, that that makes me feel better that it's Nicki Minaj. Like at least that's like kind of a fucking vibe.
Um, okay. After the heart rate challenge, it felt like a lot of the women's relationships kind of turned in the villa because things got really contentious. Like,
Did you feel the change in the villa with the women after that challenge?
Um, I definitely did feel like there was tension, especially after the whole Hilla situation. Like it was really, it was tense for a couple of days.
Can I ask, like, did you feel like the villa was clicky? Like, were there specific clicks?
I feel like we tried our, we tried our best to interact with everybody. But I definitely would have to say like, there's people who gravitated to each other more, just like the way I gravitated to Hilla, like naturally, you know?
Before Huda and like, who else do you think you were closest with?
I would have to say, me and Alondria have a great, great friendship. I remember like when the whole Ace Babe situation happened, I really did isolate myself. I was spending the whole day like crying and she was really one of the main girls. Just consoling in me and also making sure that my feelings were validated and I wasn't being um like too much, you know? So I would definitely say her.
Yeah, I feel like Alondria like was so good at having really like calm thoughtful conversations with the girls. And she was kind of sometimes like a grounding force where she would show up for someone even if she wasn't as close with them. Like obviously she like was ride or die for Shelly and they were best friends, which is beautiful, but like she did put herself out there in moments. Cause when she saw a girl was kind of down bad.
AKA you in that moment.
One hundred percent.
Okay, you came in with Hannah.
Mm-hmm.
And the other girls ultimately sent her home during one of the um voting sessions.
I know you weren't in those conversations because you were also up on the chopping block.
But why do you think, looking back, they made that decision?
Ah man, that was a really tough night and everybody knows like Hannah is my bombshell sister. We both came in together. So it was like damn, like it was really insane. Um but from their point of view, they just wanted, they said that she already formed two strong connections before. Um and that she will like get sometimes tunnel vision like with uh the guy that she's currently in a couple with. And in regards to like not being as open. So they said that they wanted to keep me so I could have the opportunity to still possibly find my connection, which thank God I did. Um and with Iris, they said that they um kept Iris because
she just started to get to know TJ or something like that.
Yep. Do you, I guess, I think.
Oh wait, was it TJ or?
I think it was Jeremiah.
It was one of the.
One of them at that point, yeah. I'm, but like, what do you think about that? Cause I think this season, I think was the first season that people were kind of being like. penalized for having strong connections and then people were like voting people off that had strong connections, which I thought was the whole point of the show, but then the minute people had strong connections, people were like, okay, well, then you're done. Get off the island like did that it kind of was confusing like, did you guys have conversations more in depth that maybe we didn't see about like the way you guys were gonna approach it?
So when it came down to every elimination, like everybody had a different standpoints in regards to how they want to go about it. They said that it it relates more on the people who are standing up there and what's going on with that. But they did, we all did discuss that if no one's officially closed off, we should be open. And if like, that's not a conversation that was brought up, they would just, we all just agreed to stay in open until anyone is officially closed off.
Okay, so I see. So it's like, if you're not closed off, but you're acting closed off, then you're, what's going on here?
Cause it's like, then close off. So we're like, wow, you guys are in a relationship. This is beautiful. But if you're saying you're still open, but you're not actually fucking talking to people, then what's the deal?
Yeah, that's exactly the whole point.
Cause then it gets messy, it gets weird because then you guys are acting closed off. So if a girl was to approach um, the guy that you're currently in a couple with, it will start some whole drama for her. You get what I'm saying?
I get what you're saying. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Um, okay. Out of the guys in the villa, who would you say was your closest friend?
Uh, you know, me and Nick didn't really talk to um, each other at the beginning as much. But towards the end, Nico Latta really became my brother. Like, he is such my brother, like.
Wait, have you seen the um, rumor that he wore a wig the whole season?
Goodbye. Are you kidding me? Yo, what?
There is like a shot.
That is hilarious. I need to tell him this. This is hilarious.
There is like a shot of the girls' dressing room. And in front of one of the girls, you kind of see this like curly little bundle.
And it looks kind of like Nick's head. And everyone's like, was that motherfucker putting a wig on this entire fucking season? I mean, there's no way.
There's no way. Baby, I'm gonna, I'm gonna double verify tonight. I'm gonna put like tuck on his hair.
Nicky.
But no, he just has good curls.
Okay, that's so good. Okay, let's talk about your next connection, Austin.
Okay, can you describe your time with him in three words?
Man, explosive. Um, I would definitely say ecstatic. And then towards the end, surprising.
I fucking love you. Okay, you guys were coupled up right before Casa Amor.
Going into Casa, like, how much was Austin on your mind once you started exploring things with Zach?
So literally before I left to Casa Amor, me and Austin had a slight conversation of him wanting to take things slow and in a slower pace. And babe, we were already moving slow. No, like seriously, we were already, we weren't kissed outside of the challenges. We weren't really cuddling with each other. Every conversation we had was very just meaningful. So I'm like moving slow, babe, we're already in turtle speed. Like this is gonna be really, this is gonna take up like so, like, I was just confused. So with him saying that to me, going into Casa Amor, I was like, yeah, I'm definitely going to just be open, you know?
You get into Casa Amor, why do you think Zach ended up choosing you over Alondria at the Casa recoupling?
So during that time, from what he explained to me, he felt like we have more of a romantic connection. And in regards to him being with Alondria, he felt like it was more platonic. So that's what he told me.
Okay, um, Alondria was given a chance to stay in the villa by recoupling with Nick.
How did you feel about the connection? Did you feel like it was genuine?
Really?
Yeah, like especially with how they were in the villa prior to that. I feel like they definitely already had that friendship connection to begin with. So and then moving on forward, I know there's him and her had smooches. So I'm like, okay, like I definitely loved them together as a couple.
Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge.
Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb. Every year, my family takes a big trip together around the holidays. And right now, we're in the middle of planning it. So naturally, our family group chat has become everyone sending different homes that they found on Airbnb. And they're like, what about this one? What about this one? Because my family has a lot of opinions about what we need. Obviously, the house has to be big enough to fit all of us, especially now with the baby. My mom wants a huge kitchen because she is already planning out Christmas dinner. My sister wants to be close enough to town so she can walk around and she can explore all the different shops. And personally, I always love to have a really good hot tub.
I feel like once November hits, everyone's either just like booking holiday travel or trying to coordinate where they're going to end up. And even though it's so fun, it can kind of be a lot. And that is why Airbnb has become my family's favorite way to travel. Everyone has different needs around the holidays, but Airbnb makes it easy to book a spot that kind of just checks all of your boxes. Having one place where everyone can hang and cook and slow down, it just makes the trip that much more special. So before the holiday rush really kicks in, find a place where everyone can actually gather, relax and make memories together with Airbnb. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Ross.

Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge. Girl.
Sounds like the gangs that might come out.
She's about to start crying again. I'm gonna fucking cry for you. When you walked up to your mailbox, what were you expecting to see on your end?
I mean, I just really did. I was hoping that people would just be honest with me prior to that, because there was a lot of things I found out that night about how people felt that never once set us my face. So with me, I'm not like that. I usually just say things to people how I feel. I don't wait for a challenge to do so. But I was preparing myself for the worst because of how things rolled out, especially in the first days.
Ace, Austin, and Zach all ganged up on you in this moment. And as a viewer, it was like, Amaya, it was so uncomfortable and upsetting to watch, especially just like as a woman, like woman to woman. I was like, somebody fucking go save this girl. How did it feel in that moment, standing up there alone?
Oh, my God. And plus, people were ready, not necessarily complaining, but just say I cried too much. So it's like, damn, how can I not cry right now? It was a really, really tough moment for me, to be honest with you. Like to just be on that podium and having nobody but myself at that moment. I'm like, you know what? I just really, it's on my place. I'm going to eat up and digest the food. And guess what? Thank you for spending to eat on how it really feels. But it really did, I was blackened out, like.
Yeah, I can imagine like completely just dissociating in that moment because you're like, just stand here, try not to cry, try not to cry. Okay, I'm trying to try to hold it together, try to hold it together. Have you ever experienced? Anything like that situation in your real life ever?
Um, to be honest, no. Cause like, once again, like, I'm able to walk away and like block someone when I feel like there's a conversation is just leading into something horrible, but at that moment, I really just needed to embrace it and just stand on business, you know? And on top of that, I had no idea Zach felt that way. And that was the person I was currently in the couple with. So out of everybody, I was like, okay, at least I have somebody to stand up for me, but it was not him at all.
Okay, during the challenge, yes, the guys were basically accusing you of coming on too strong and being too much too soon. To have three men all be collectively saying that to you, like, why do you think all of them were that triggered by you?
I mean, I, like, my father loves to say that a strong, confident woman, especially a woman who's in touch with her emotions, would intimidate the cowards. And people were not vulnerable and open like that. So it's just more like, I don't, I never understood the coming off too strong part, cause I never groped anybody. I swear, I was like, I started to get so scared of how, I felt like move, I was walking on eggshells. If I looked at somebody for too long, it was just like, she, yeah, bro, she wants to get married with me the next day. Like, we never spoke about marriage or kids talk. I never groped anybody. Like, they just really started to make me feel like I was just doing too much.
Right, so you're like, I'm not even gonna make eye contact with you.
Right, can I make eye contact with anybody or like, me, my pinky toe touching their pinky toe is sex to them? And like, keep in mind, guys, we're on Love Island. We're supposed to be, I thought this was a kiss and date and show. And I can't even have my shoulder touching you now, bro. Like, seriously.
It's so facts. I was like, what is going on?
I thought I was, I, I thought I was going crazy. I'm like, did I not know what I signed up for? Like, I know I'm a very open, sexual girl and love for smooches, but nobody wanted smooches there by anybody.
I will say, I lost so much respect for all three of those men in that moment too, because I think, There's one moment, yes, to voice your opinion.
But when you start to gang up on someone.
Who is just standing there and getting it from every angle, like, read the room, guess what, you're gonna be on this island for a long time, you can have this conversation privately.
But to publicly try to embarrass you, it just was so inappropriate.
Um, throughout the season, you stood up for other women. But no one stood up for you in that moment.
Yeah. I, like, honestly, I don't know if it was just more of them letting the conversation just be done and be finished. Um, but, yeah, I was just, I was just like me, particularly, especially like me, like, at that moment. But I remember when I walked off, Hala and, and, um, another islander, I think it was Ciara.
Yeah, they came and to comfort me for a little bit. But no, it was my voice against three guys. And baby, this voice was loud, okay?
What do you wish someone of the girls just would have said?
All right, guys, like, take it easy, like, calm down, just calm down. It was pretty tough, but I'm telling you, like, out of this whole experience, my skin is so thicker now. Thicker than raw beef, okay, like, or it's burnt beef, like, this skin is tough now, baby.
Wait, Maya, if you actually, like, now thinking back, like, why do you think no one stood up for you?
Maybe they felt the same way, or maybe they were, they just didn't want to get involved, probably. I think that's what it was. They didn't want to probably get in, involved in the crossfire that was happening. But though, I was taking the bullets, like, boom, boom, baby, I was KO. I had to walk away, I was game, I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on?
Had roles been reversed and you were sitting and one of your girls was up there, literally, like, verbally getting the shit beaten out of her.
What would you have said?
Oh, I would have, they would have heard me from across. The room, I would have been like, uh, actually, no, I have a question. Like, you're not going to be speaking like anybody like that. Supposing not one of my girls.
Okay, you mentioned, and let's get to it. Someone did stand up for you and speak up for you in that moment. Mr. Brian. How did that change the way that you saw him?
I mean, like initially, I always thought he was very cute, very, very handsome. But just hearing his voice, because I thought it was just like arguments and arguments and people just attacking me. And to the point where one moment I put my head down and wasn't looking up. And then I heard him say, wait, hold on. And I looked up and I was like, my eyes just glowed. And I really did feel like he was my knight in armor that night, like just saving me. And after that, I did a double take, baby girl. I was like, what? Brian, you know what? I'm gonna talk to you. Come over here.
You're like, Brian, I bet if I kind of grazed toes with you, you would be turned on, okay? And you wouldn't think I'm trying to fuck you, though. We could have a nice conversation. Because you're a grown ass man. Um, okay, what made you realize after like initial attraction and loving that he stood up for you? What made you realize you wanted to be in a couple with Brian?
So after the conversation just kept on being so flowy and I felt like I was being my complete self around him without feeling tamed and without feeling like my wings are being clipped off. Like, it really just felt so natural. And I also felt like we had a lot of things in common. We come from the same background, so he like really do understands me in a different way, you know? So, yeah, it really started off like from that.
Okay, how did the night in the hideaway help strengthen your connection, honey?
Oh, baby girl, it was steamy, alright. We were, we were sweating, like, it really was a great feeling to just have that private and intimate moment. Because like back in the villa, yes, you're able to have private conversations, but there's still people around and like that just forced us to really. Be just us two. And like if we didn't wanna conversate with each other, we're we have somebody else to conversate with. But now it was like, no, we actually do wanna talk to each other. Like, we love talking to each other and being next to each other. And the next morning, um, before like heading back, I remember just sitting down by the jacuzzi with him.
And we were just quiet, like it was beauty in a silence. Like it really did feel like I found my best friend where I could yap away. Or where we're having our quiet moments. It's like one of the best quality times with him.
That makes me so happy for you because I relate to and like I'm a yapper too. Love talking and I could talk forever, but when you find someone that you can be so comfortable with, that silence isn't awkward. And you can just be still in yourself. That's a huge sign of like progress in a relationship that you don't have to do the small talk. Um, okay, I have to ask. Did he end up eating the kitty in the hideaway?
Eat that kitty in the hideaway. I said, eat that kitty. Yeah, well, he definitely took some of mine. We had a great night.
You had a good time. Did you feel like your physical chemistry was there?
Oh, one hundred percent.
Love that for you. Okay, how often, aside from now the hideaway, like how often were people actually like hooking up and fucking in the main room?
Dude, well, I don't know if it's like you guys come on, but we did have a cold word journey. And it kinda traumatizes me now, like when somebody outside be like, oh, a journey. I'm like, how dare you touching my pearls? But like, we had a co name, but people were having journeys, so for sure.
And was it at all ever like awkward while you're all trying to go to bed and you're hearing like smacking noises?
Like dude, I'm like, can I sleep? We already don't get enough rest around here, but you know what's like, as you should, baby girl.
Do you guys have sound machines or like, like earplugs?
The earplugs were not plugging. Like, listen, seriously, I was, those were low quality earplugs because we were so able to like hear things. And I'm like, dude, okay. Especially if there's a couple right next to you.
I'm fucking dying. One of the biggest major turning points of the season that I think the internet truly felt. So I want to hear your take on it was when America voted you as the most genuine and most trustworthy islander.
As viewers, we felt like we watched everyone almost shift and kind of treat you really differently, Amaya. Like after that moment, did you feel the shift?
I felt the shift a little bit for sure. I mean, it was just like, okay, now you want to talk to me? Like, you know, you're right, we're closing it. We didn't have no watches over there, but baby, I clocked her and see. And it's like, don't talk to me now. I'm okay. School over here like.
Right. Like, I feel like one of the things that was actually infuriating me personally was like seeing Zach literally tell you that he was basically like disturbed that you tried to kiss him.
Dude.
And then he's trying to climb up on that fucking daybed with you being like, honey.
Girl, I was so confused. Somebody find me a map because I'm lost. Like, what the fuck? I mean, like, no, seriously, I was confused. He's a grown man. He couldn't tell me no. He kissed me. We were kissing back in Casa Amor. That's why it was like uncomfortable. Like, why?
Right. You're like.
Strong word.
You literally came at me at the fire pit during the challenge. You're saying how uncomfortable you are around me. You don't want to be with me. You don't like me.
And then America is like, by the way, motherfuckers, let us remind you who the fuck is the favorite since none of you know. We put you at number one and everyone, you see Ace's face and he literally is like, ha ha. And everyone is like, oh my god, Ace and Zach specifically, it was like, let's watch you two try to figure out how to rearrange this narrative in your head and let's see. And I was praying to fucking god you saw through Zach's bullshit.
Oh, I saw, girl.
Okay, good.
I don't have 2020 vision, but I have 2020 vision at that moment, okay? It was like, dude, why are you trying to talk to me now? And then also, I feel like when the guys were like ranking me, it definitely was just projection. Like, they didn't have no, I'm like, name the reason, like, name an example. No examples were being able to made, like.
That's so interesting.
Yeah, it was just projection.
You don't need to name names, but like, did you feel some of the women also kind of be a little bit nicer?
Uh, some, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't need to throw shade, but like, I, we don't even need you to name it because as viewers, we clocked it. And I was like, Amaya, you better fucking stand up business now and remember who the fuck you are. But I will say, I think again, why America fell in love with you, Amaya, is because you can tell how genuine you are. The fact that you didn't tell that fucking Zach ass to be like, babe, we're done. Like, I know what game you're playing. You were still sweet to him. You still even fucking apologized to him. I was gonna be like, Amaya, no, no. You apologized to him and Ace. I was like, girl, I, I have to just give you your flowers for a second, but also remind women, like,
I think sometimes we are the first people to apologize in moments because we want to make situations just feel like, let's just appease people and let's make it easy and let's not make it awkward, but it's like, why did you speak to both of them that way? Because they were disrespectful and pushed you to the point that you then had to go back and defend yourself. And then you're being made the ones that feels like you have to apologize for us.
Bitch, fucking no.
Girl, no, exactly, seriously.
Another huge moment, there were so many fucking huge moments. I love how people are like, I don't know about this season, like, um, how many big fucking moments we can't even get through enough. And I still have so much more to talk to you about. Okay, a huge moment this season was when Ciara abruptly left the villa. Can you talk to me just from your perspective as an Islander, what went down?
Dude, the one, like literally, we all started the morning together. And then out of nowhere, she did disappear. And we all were just asking, where was Ciara? Like, I remember asking, I was like, do you guys know where Ciara went? And then same thing with Nick, I was like, Nick, like where's Ciara? We all genuinely did not know. So we did not get the chance to say goodbye. We weren't able to see her pack her bags. It literally just happened in a flash of an eye. It felt like very unreal, like in a way, like what is going on?
Where were you guys when she clearly went and packed her bags?
We were all in the villa. Like, we were all, we literally were all just hanging down.
You were like outside?
Outside.
And she was just, she was gone, like, oh, that's really gone.
Now knowing, I have to ask, like, why she left, how do you feel about it?
I definitely do think words matter and everyone should be respected, you know? So, like, I just hope that, like, she learns from her consequences, which, you know, she, she is a grown woman. So like, hopefully moving on forward, it's just like, we, this should not be repeated, you know?
Yeah. Okay, we're gonna play a game.
Okay, I'm gonna give you a scenario and you tell me the first islander that comes to mind. Okay, who gave the best advice?
Best advice, uh, first islander, uh, I would say only Andrea.
Okay, which islander crashed out the hardest?
Besides myself, Hala.
Who was the fakest?
Ooh, fakest, man, Austin Boston, because listen, where did this information come from, Austin? Shit.
Which guy was the best kisser?
Ooh, Brian.
Whose clothes did you steal the most?
Uh, Ciara's.
Which couple had the most sex in the group room?
Oh, my God, damn, okay, wait. Hala and Jeremiah, when they were together.
Whose elimination made you the saddest?
Oh, my God, Charlie.
Which couple has the best chance of making it in the outside world besides you and Brian?
Um, I would have to say, I would have to say only Andrea and Nick.
Yeah, yeah, because Iris and Pepe.
I don't know, like, uh, like, nothing against like their relationship, I love them together. But, uh, Andrea and Nick families spoke about cookouts already and inviting each others over to their household. So I really do think that they're going to be a good couple.
Okay, we're gonna play a game. What is the weirdest place you've ever had sex?
CVS Pharmacy. At the bathroom. In the bathroom, not in public. Not in public-public. But it was in the bathroom.
What was going on?
We made sure that we didn't touch anything. Like, I touched the wall because I needed to stabilize myself. But we made sure that it was clean, okay? Literally, we went to, we went to CVS, I needed to buy some candy, and then we had a one smooch, and then he was like, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" I'm like, "Okay." I guess it was exciting. It made him more excited.
A CVS buck, we love that.
Santa Claus, please bring me Christmas presents. I promise I wasn't that gnarly.
Okay, what is the most unhinged thing you have ever done after a breakup?
Um, unhinged means like...
Like you went a little crazy.
Dude, ah, fuck, there's a lot of them. Um, let me think, brain loading.
Oh, I think I called my ex-boyfriend's mom, and I'm like, "What the fuck is that?" "How dare you bring your son like this?"
That's so good. When you call the mom, you know.
Baby, I usually always got my, like, boyfriends at the times, like, mom's phone number. But yeah, I'm like, "Wait, no, mama, sit down, we have to have a talk, okay? What in the world? How, where went wrong? Was there any, like, childhood, like, situation that made him like this? Like, what is it?"
That's so real. Put it on the mother. It's now your problem to take your fucking son, your bitch-ass son back. I'm done with his ass. Okay, what is the craziest thing someone's ever asked you to do in bed?
In bed? Um, to suck their toes. Like, ew, guys, sorry, but ew, I'm never sucking a man's toes. Like, what? First of all, don't you even have that much good of a self-care usually? And now you want me to suck your toes? Like, are they even washed? And like, guys, let me tell you, let me show you this moment. I went to Miami like two years ago and I was on a jet ski with someone and I looked down and he had the longest pinky toenail ever. I swear on my baby sisters, I got scared. I was like, I don't know if he used that as a weapon. Like, if somebody is coming to attack him, I'll like just slice somebody with the pinky toenail. But girl, it was long and strong.
And ever since then, I kind of do have a little bit of an ache when it comes down to guys, so.
Wait, were you hooking up with this man on the jet ski?
We were just on the jet ski, right? And we were supposed to hook up. But when I tell you, I was like, I was like, girl, bring me back to shore right now. This is not okay. How the fuck you fit your feet in the sneakers? Seriously, with that long toenail, it was like this. I had so much questions.
Wait, Amaya, when someone asked you to suck their toes, what did you say to them?
Oh, hell no. I'm like, don't ruin the moment right now, my love. Like, everything's going smooth, like butter. And now you're gonna come here with the kitchen knife and just slice me up like, hello? Calm down.
No, calm, relax, my guy.
What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done during a night of drinking?
Dude. Oh, my god. Guys, I, this was when I was like twenty-one. Too much margaritas, just started drinking. Your girls were freestyling rapping on a date. And keep in mind,
What?
I started to freestyle rap on a date on our way back home. And it was a one-hour car ride. So it's not like I just did one thing. I was just yapping, talking to myself. And then at first I thought he liked it, but then then I go on Twitter and I seen that one, he blocked me. On Twitter from seeing it sweet and then two my friend sent it to me and they're like, bro, he just shit it on you. He was like, what will you do if a girl wraps the whole entire car ride? And everybody was like, jump out the window. I'm like, oh, my god.
Wait, you have to give me from any recollection, you have a little rap. Give me a little something.
You're like, we're driving, I'm driving.
Right.
Ooh, and you're like.
The marketing is just feeling nice. So it was literally like the fat Joe, uh, fat Joe lean back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me, give me.
It was like, um, my name is a mic, little girl with a big dream, never get down on her knees if you know what I mean.
Meanwhile, this man is like, I'm about to swerve up the road.
Swerve off. But looking back, it was like, okay, I could definitely see, I could see like the fake smiles. Like, uh, get me out of this car.
I also could see like, it's fun for a couple of minutes, but an hour. Like, I'm obsessed with you that you're like, let me give you another one. Hold on.
Hold on.
Listen to this shit. This is amazing. He's like, can I turn on the radio? You're like, no, I am the radio. I'm obsessed with you. Okay, fuck, marry, kill these sex positions.
Doggy style, cowgirl and missionary.
Um, okay, marry missionary because I contact hello on eyes. Um, fuck doggy style, you know, exciting and kill cowgirl. Baby, my knees be tired. Okay, I don't have the best joints. This is why I do yoga and I stretch it out, but we're trying to improve.
Okay, what is your go to line if you want to start sexting?
Ooh, I would just be like, time to get wet.
For both me and him.
Love how straightforward you are. Okay, what has been your wildest sexual mishap?
Mishap, like what?
Like you fell off the bed and you got a concussion, like you broke an elbow, like.
God.
You fell off, you whatever the fuck, like a disaster.
So I was having sex, um, with my, one of my ex-boyfriends and he, I guess he got too excited, like he farted. But like the fart was so bad that I almost threw up. I tried to act like it was like, okay, like, obviously, it's natural for humans to pass gas. That's good that you're passing gas, bro. We're all fart. But like, we had to stop and move to a whole different room. And I'm like, please don't let this fart linger because how to know was so not it.
Did he acknowledge it?
He was like, yeah, it was like, like, and I'm like, what the fuck is? I'm sure that that was not me queefing. So it had to come from something else.
Why was it one of those like?
It was like, it was like a, like that, like literally short, but very, very impactful.
Powerful.
You know what's so crazy is like, I feel like that as shitty as it is, it's like, if it's loud, it's, yeah, literally, it's kind of awkward if it's loud, but if it doesn't smell, you're like, okay, that was weird. Pretend it was a queef, keep it moving.
If it reeks.
Dude, I don't know what he was eating that day, but boy, was it, I, I survived, baby. I almost suffocated. Okay, I'm a survivor. I'm a gas fart person in the, in the sex survivor.
You're so strong, Amaya. You're so strong.
The battles I face, the battles I face.
Okay, um, what is your weirdest turn on?
Weirdest turn on? I like, okay, like, you know when you're cuddling with somebody and like, you're, I love putting my face in their armpits a little bit.
Obviously, if it smells crazy, dad, I'm going to like, be like, oh, hell no. But if it's a good smell, you know, like Bobby.
You're in there.
Yeah, I'm in there.
Okay, have you ever had a threesome?
Would you ever?
Yes, I would, but not now.
Not now. I, I feel like that's more for like thirties, like when, when like the sex is like, well, to keep things exciting, you know?
Thirties, we're gonna save it for the thirties.
Thirties, yeah.
Love that for you. Okay, Amaya, what is your best skill in the bedroom?
Oh, man, listen, there's a reason why my jaw's snatched, okay? Your girl.
Be stretching the jaw out and I'm proud. I'm proud. Not everybody gets to see the scale. So like if you're able to see the scale, Brian.
Girl, I'm proud of you. I am so proud of you. How do you think your life is going to be different now after Love Island? Like, are you gonna lean into the fame? Like, what are you thinking?
I definitely do want to engage with my supporters as much as possible. Like, I just want to talk to them and know that like my papaya will never change. You get what I'm saying? And I really do want to leave a positive impact on women to know to never settle and to never change who they are. So as long as I keep on sending that message out, whether it's like my mini, like get ready with me or vlogs, that's for sure. But you know, goal of mine, like I said earlier, is definitely to get my PhD. So maybe next year, your girl will be returning back to school. And for anybody who would want to follow me in that journey, it's more than like I'm open.
Okay, you and Brian, obviously, we saw you guys. You won Love Island, but now what do you think this looks like in the real world?
Guys, I'm so, so, so excited to be in the real world with him without like mics up. And I could just talk to him whenever and like I'm waiting for our truffle pasta date. And I can't wait to meet his family. I know I met some of his family, his Papa Bear, but I need to meet mommy officially. He needs to come. We're going to be cooking together. There's just so much things that we have planned for us. And I'm just happy to be in this moment with him, you know?
Have you guys talked about long distance? Like, what are you guys thinking?
Yeah, so we're definitely going to be taking turns seeing each other. And Boston is not far away from me. I actually have cousins and friends out there. So Boston, your girl's coming.
I'm obsessed. You and Brian made history by being the first Hispanic couple to win Love Island.
Wow.
Congratulations. Like, what does that mean to you?
Man, it's really, really huge because I'm the first generation um to be here in America. First generational nurse, like first time for like my parents literally came from Dominican Republic and like didn't have the best like upbringing. So Latino culture to me is very, very huge. So I mean, it's really, I feel blessed and I feel so, I feel so much gratitude, you know?
No, I think like for the world and especially right now, this was such an incredible moment in history. Like I think sometimes people obviously can look at Love Island and be like, oh, it's just a dating show. But to see you and Brian up on that stage and winning in the world that we're in right now, I think it just, it's probably what a lot of people needed. And for you to be that person, to give people that hope and that strength, like, it's truly beautiful and incredible, Maya. Seriously.
Like hearing this from you is really huge. So thank you so much. And we feel so supported and so loved. And I'm glad that I was able to, well, me and Brian were able to be a part of this.
Can I ask you about just quickly, um, I know we don't have that much time, but like mental health. I think sometimes people look at people on shows and we're all obsessed. We're like, we don't like this couple and we like this person. We don't like that person. But can you just kind of talk to me a little bit about what in maybe not as fun moments in the villa, like what did mental health look like in the villa? And like struggles and just like, how did people get through when things were dark? Just to like understand for people watching, like this isn't all just fun and games. Like we're real people.
Yeah, like literally we're real people. We have feelings. And I think sometimes like people forget how intense things could be in there. Like when you don't have any interaction with the outside world, you're not able to call your mom and dad and talk to them. Like we're literally just there. But when we have uh doctors like on like sad, like psych, like psych doctors. So whenever we really are having a bad, bad moment, or we feel like the world is like crashing down due to the intensity of emotions, we're able to take a break and talk to the doctors if needed to be. And everybody has their own way when navigating how they
Deal with their feelings, but one for me, which is one, having it out and two, just going on the dock and feeling that fresh air and like just embracing mother nature.
I'm gonna do a couple of rapid fire, last minute questions and then we're ending. Okay. What is your take on BDSM?
Oh baby, we love that. We love that, okay?
You do? Love. Okay, how do you feel about Timothy Chalamet?
Uh, oh, yeah, it was Zendaya, right? Ri- right? Wait, I say it was Zendaya?
Oh wait, no, he's with Kylie.
Yeah, he's with Kylie.
I'm going crazy. Um, very cute.
Very cute. What is your most irrational fear?
Irra- uh, um, I would have to say sharks. Like seriously, I, sometimes when I'm underwater and my eyes are closed, I have like this big imagination of a shark coming to get me. I don't know why.
So do you go in the ocean a lot?
Uh, well, from me and beyond.
Yeah, that's it. What is your weirdest reoccurring dream?
Oh my gosh, I would have to say, um, getting chased by naked people. No, seriously, like that's one of my night terrors. Have you ever watched the movie Hereditary?
So there was like a scene there where like, she's just like, I don't know, I forgot it was a he or she, but somebody just wakes up and like, there's a scene of like naked people all around them. And like ever since then, that's like really like irrational fear of mines. I just hope I'm tripping far.
Holy fucking shit.
I swear, watch when you search it up, you're gonna be like, okay, I see what she's talking about.
Okay, fair. Okay, fair. If you had a vibrator, or if you have a vibrator and you had to name her, what would it be?
Uh, Rosa.
Okay, what is a song that will always hype you up?
Ooh, Got That Only.
What is the weirdest thing you keep in your purse?
Um, I keep...
Damn, I have a lot of weird things in my purse. Back up heels. Because I went out one day in NYC and like a purse has like a tote bag. Um, and then my heel literally broke. So then ever since then, I was like, no, we need to bring back up heels. This girl, we're not ever going to be limping like that again.
Yep. Do you ever wear flats?
I wear flats sometimes.
Okay. Who is your dream threesome?
Three, three, ah, let me see, let me see. Kim Kardashian.
Oh, that's good.
She is hot as fuck.
What message do you hope viewers take away from your time on the show overall?
You know, to just really stay true to who you are. Never change for yourself, even when people are making you feel like, okay, what's going on with me? What's wrong? There's never nothing wrong when you maybe like shine. And if you're bright as two light, guess what? Put some motherfucking shades on bitch. Like let your sun bright and illuminate.
