(BLEATING)

(IMITATES DAVID ATTENBOROUGH) Here in the Balearic Islands,

off the coast of Spain,

we witness one of nature's truly spectacular sights,

the Love Islander.

We see the female of the species.

Some have distinctive markings on their bodies and plumage.

A gaggle of males have been spotted nearby.

See how they thrust and strain at the pursuit

of the perfect torso.

Look.

Mating rituals are in full swing, and I can see

three couples have come together.

Nature in its rawest form.

Tonight, Australia,

you must vote for your favourite Love Islanders.

So who will it be?

Mia and Niko, Em and Mercedes, or Kaylah and Eric.

They are all exceptional specimens, but only one couple

can be the best.

Australia, the decision is yours.

Welcome to the grand finale of Love Island Australia.

(BLEATING)

(NORMAL VOICE) Being David Attenborough takes it out of you.

(THEME MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's the final morning in the Love Island villa.

Thank Christ...Uh, that we still get more time

with our lovely finalists.

Morning.

Morning, finalists!

Morning, Em.

Did you sleep all right, though?

Oh, I can't believe it.

Today's the last day.

I can't believe we've all just had our last sleep

in the Love Island villa.

Yeah. Crazy.

Mental. (ESSEX ACCENT) Mental.

Absolutely mental.

Mm. Oh! I know.

I want seven people to bunk with.

(PHONE CHIMES)

That's you, babe.

Ooh. Got a text.

Oh my god.

(READS)

Oh my god!

(CONTINUES READING)

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Don't mess up.

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Oh my god, guys, we get to see our fam!

How exciting!

I'm so excited right now.

My heart is, like, literally going.

Holy shit, babe!

Holy shit.

Oh my gosh, I'm gonna cry even talking about it.

I'm so excited.

Like... Best text to wake up to.

This is... I'm gonna lose it.

I'm gonna lose it. I'm so excited.

I'm so, now I'm buzzing.

My mum, my dad!

I'm just so excited.

And I'm excited for them to meet Niko.

And I know they're going to love him so much.

KAYLAH: I want to see my mum!

Are you excited? Yeah.

Huxley will be there!

Oh, yeah.

My dog! My emotions are running wild.

So many questions are going through my head.

I'm thinking, 'Will they be impressed?

'Like, do they miss me?

'Is Eric nervous? Why am I so nervous?'

Like, oh!

(BOTH MUMBLING)

(KAYLAH SIGHS)

I wasn't, I wasn't nervous before, but now

I'm starting to feel it.

So I'm just really hoping they, they like me.

I hope... (GASPS, EXCLAIMS)

Oh...

Oh, it's so good to see you! How are you?

Good. How are you?

Eric, this is my mum, Lee.

Lovely to meet you girls.

And this is my nan, Kay.

Mum and Nan, this is Eric.

Eric. Oh, hi, Eric.

Hey. How's it going?

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

So did... Were you in... Are you an OG?

No. I was actually the last bombshell.

One of the last bombshells. Literally the last bomb.

So, Kaylah, how many partners have you had?

Mum, what's she on about with the partner question?

"What've you been doing, my daughter?"

I was with someone before

Eric walked in and Eric walked in and I was just, like,

he just swept me off my feet.

He blew me away.

Oh, really? Like, dream guy.

Honestly. Yeah.

Do you think you might stay together on the outside?

100%. Yes.

Yes, absolutely.

Well, that's great. Well, I'm so happy for you guys.

Thank you, really appreciate it.

Thank you. Is Huxley there?

Sorry? Huxley.

Yeah. He's there.

Oh! My baby boy!

My baby boy.

Oh, I miss him so much.

Oh, my baby boy.

So lovely to see you. We can't wait to see you.

Love you so much. Safe journey home.

It was lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you, Eric. Thank you.

Likewise.

And you look tall, too. I am pretty tall.

He's 6'4".

Is he tall? You could wear heels.

Yeah, she can wear heels.

I love you so much. Bye-bye.

See you soon! Ciao.

Oh! That was so sweet.

They're the best.

Kaylah's mum said that

she can't wait to meet me in person.

So that's a good sign.

Oh my god, that was, like, the best experience ever.

They so love you. Do they?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

That's amazing.

So good.

You can breathe.

Oh my god, no, now I'm nervous.

Ah, no, don't be nervous.

# The happiness of home. #

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Oh! Blakey and Britt!

Hi!

Um, this is K. Kaylah.

Hi. Blake, Britt.

Nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you.

Best friends. Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, you guys are so cute.

Yeah. I'm blushing.

Wait. What happened?

You walked in as a bombshell, and then...

She caught my eye straight away,

and I feel like there's, yeah, there's been some real, real spark

here and, um, a proper connection. It was really crazy.

Like, literally Ez just walked in at the right time.

I was literally saying, I would love a guy who's like

6'4", tan, like, you know, like all the little details.

And then he walks in looking stunning, little hunk of spunk.

And he just swept me off my feet.

So, uh, are you guys going to be boyfriend

and girlfriend yet, or...?

Yeah, I think... Well, we...

That ball's in his court.

Oh, is it? Yeah.

Well, I hope we get to meet you.

Yeah. Absolutely.

100%. Absolutely.

Double dates for sure.

Looking forward to it. Double dates happening.

Oh, for sure. Let's do it.

Love you guys. Bye!

Oh, was that nice? Yeah.

It is really nice to see how much his friends love him

and praise him and speak highly of him, because it means

I'm not looking at him with rose coloured glasses

and that he is genuinely a really, really amazing human being.

They put us on the spot there with the boyfriend

girlfriend thing. Yeah.

I was like, that's your thing, not mine.

After the conversation with Blake and Britt, it made me

think, like, why haven't we made it official yet?

We've spoken about, you know, the future and we've

spoken about us and being in the outside world.

And we have a real connection.

And I know we haven't really spoken about, you know,

putting an actual label on it, but I think to me

it is it is quite clear as, you know, what we want.

Yeah. But like, yeah, like I think, um, yeah.

I feel like it's a no-brainer, isn't it?

A no-brainer what?

I don't know. What do you think's, like, the next step?

Well, I mean...

You're making me nervous.

What do you mean?

He just kept saying, like...

"I feel like it's pretty obvious how we both feel."

And he's, like, scooting around, you know, actually,

like, kind of just saying it.

I don't know how to ask it, like, I don't know, of course I want...

Have you never done this before?

I don't think I've actually asked like... Really?

It's more like. It's more like we're labelling it, like...

Yeah, like... Like...

So when we go to the outside world...

Mm.

And we're hanging out and I'm meeting all your friends

and you're all meeting all my friends

and you're coming to my place.

Am I saying this is my very special close friend?

No. Definitely not. No.

I would love for you to say, um...

boyfriend. So would you like to be my girlfriend?

Yes. Yes?

Oh my gosh. (INDISTINCT)

We're boyfriend and girlfriend! Yeah.

Yes, we are.

Oh my gosh!

Oh my god, I've got a boyfriend!

My single life is over. Woo!

You're mine and I'm yours.

Forever, baby. Oh.

It wasn't...I mean, the way, I mean, it wasn't perfect.

But you know what, to me, it was perfect. Fuck it.

Fuck that, at the start...

But... You were like...

Like, it was implied that you're...

And I'm like, so does that mean we are?

Sorry, but I recovered pretty well, I think.

Oh my...!

Oh.

Oh no, I don't... Oh, here we go, here we go.

OK.

I'm gonna scream.

Don't scream. Relax, Mia.

Oh my god, my heart's gonna collapse

when I first see the faces.

Oh my god! And your mum's adorable too.

You look hot!

How are you? Nice to meet you, Athena.

Oh, you're so... What's your name?

Niko. Niko.

You're Greek! Yeah, I'm Greek. Yeah, I'm Greek too.

Yay! Yeah.

We found the Greek.

Very nice to meet you, Niko.

Nice to meet you, too.

So tell me, Niko, where are you from, love?

I'm from Sydney.

Um... Yeah.

So tell me, where do you guys see this progress?

I know you're living in different states.

How do you see this working out?

Mum had all the questions ready to go.

She was ready. Bang, bang, bang.

We'll make time for each other.

Obviously, I'm going to come down to Adelaide for sure.

I'll go to Sydney.

She'll be coming up to Sydney and that's it,

and we're going to see how it goes on the outside.

Do you live at home? I live at home.

I live with my mum and my brother.

Oh, good. Green flag. Love it.

That's a typical Greek thing, isn't it?

Yeah. Stay at home 'til you're engaged.

That's wonderful.

My sister's real old school.

Like, my whole family's old school. Very traditional.

You know, you move out when you get married.

You shouldn't move out prior to that.

I love you guys so much. I love you!

I've had the best time. Niko, so nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you too. We're looking forward to meeting.

For sure. Niko, you look so nice and handsome and sweet.

Thank you, sis!

Bye. See you, darling. See you guys.

Hearing their approval,

like, and hearing them, you know, say how good we look together,

was so nice to hear.

Oh. Yeah.

It made my heart warm to hear that.

That's crazy.

NARRATOR: You know what else is crazy?

That Mia's mum and sister haven't figured out

how to hang up.

Oh! He's hot! He's hot!

He's hot! He's hot!

Oh my god, oh my god, he's hot!

No, no. He's hot!

He's hot. He's so good.

She did so good. She did so good.

Oh my god. Wait, do I hang up?

Mom, I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up.

They liked you. Obviously.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, they were sweet. They were super sweet.

Now I'm feeling a bit nervous.

I can tell. Don't be nervous.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Had to be you two!

So, how are you guys going?

Oh, good. Oh, I mean, this is Mia.

That's my mum, Sia. Nice to meet you.

And my sister, Ellen.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Hello. How's your time been there?

How's it going in the villa?

I was partnered with someone else 'til about a couple of days

before Mia walked in, and I ended it there

and then Mia popped in the day after.

So instant connection. It was good.

Love at first sight?

Love at...

Instant spark, just came back to the villa and that was it.

Just closed off everyone, so it was good.

Why, Niko, what stood out to you to about Niko?

Yeah. My sister is super protective of me.

I mean, she saw, like, you know, she wants to see me happy.

She wants to know that I'm with a good girl

and my sister can read people.

Oh, just... We just are so similar.

You know, we have the same morals and values.

And he's obviously very handsome.

You both look happy. You do look happy.

You're glowing.

It just felt natural. It just felt natural.

That's the best way to describe it.

It feels natural.

That's cute, you guys.

Anyway, we got to let you go.

See you, guys. Nice to meet you!

Bye. See ya.

Bye.

They are so beautiful. Oh!

They're like... They're, like, shy.

Why were they shy? They're not like that.

I promise, my sister will eat your ear off.

I'm so excited.

Like, having this little taste of the outside world and meeting

like his mum and sister.

Oh! I'm so excited to meet his whole family and just,

you know, get to know them more.

And... Oh, I can't wait for Niko to be close with my family

and get to know them.

I am so excited to meet your family.

No, they're chill, so I know they'll love you.

Em spent weeks test driving her new Mercedes.

You know, pulling back the hood, checking lubricant levels

and making sure the gear sticks are in perfect working order.

But before she buys, she wants her mum

to give the luxury model a once over. Beep-beep.

OK. Here. Here!

I feel scared. I'm nervous.

Now I'm nervous, I wasn't nervous.

Whew!

Hi! Oh my god, hi!

This is Mercedes.

Mercedes, this is Sarita. This is my mum.

Hi, Mercedes. Hello.

I've heard so much about you.

How are you? I'm doing well.

Where are you from, Mercedes?

Yeah, I'm from Dallas, Texas, United States.

That is so cool.

Do you want to know something?

What? We're boyfriend and girlfriend.

The jaw drop! Officially?

Yeah.

Oh, that's just beautiful.

So happy for you.

You guys, girlfriend boyfriend status.

That's absolutely awesome.

And I just want to pass on that James and Dad say hey.

And that they love you.

And that we are so, so proud of you.

Em, you are an amazing woman.

And you inspire me each and every day.

You are just... I love you, Mum!

I love you so much. Can't wait to meet you, Mercedes.

Yes. You'll see him in Sydney.

Mwah!

(OVERLAPPING)

Love you!

Woo!

How cute is she? Oh, she's so cute.

She was so nice.

Like, the sweetest lady ever. She is.

Oh my god.

It just made me so excited to, you know, be able to share him

with all of the people that I care about most and,

you know, meet everybody that's near and dear to his heart as well.

I'm like, so like, who's gonna pop on?

I have no, I don't, I don't know.

Do you think she'll be surprised that you finally

made somebody your girlfriend? Yeah.

After, like, four years. Six years.

Six years. Yeah. She'll be surprised for sure.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Whoa!

Oh my god.

This is my mum, Lestia.

I'm sorry, you are so beautiful.

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa!

What? She's crazy.

Mercedes' mum is so gorgeous.

I honestly was a little lost for words.

Hi, I'm Em. Em.

Nice to meet you.

This is my brother, Marquis.

What's poppin, big dog?

Oh my gosh!

Oh my god!

How long have you guys been coupled up?

I came in as a bombshell, and it was kind of difficult

for a couple of days, like, getting to know everyone,

and then we, like, kind of gravitated towards each other.

And then ever since then, like, we've been attached at the hip.

Yeah. So...

And I didn't think I would meet a girl like this

and I made her my girlfriend.

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

So, guys, how is it going to work with him,

you and Australia and him in the United States?

I'll see y'all very soon.

"See y'all very soon!"

See y'all. I always whip out a 'y'all.'

Um, I have a... Don't shake your head at me, boy!

I say y'all too, I like that. I like that.

I already had a trip booked to the States, and he's already

got plans to come and see me in LA.

Alvin! That's Alvin right there!

Hi, Alvin!

Oh, man, I miss y'all, I miss y'all.

I can't wait to see you.

And it was really nice meeting you, Em.

It was so nice meeting you guys.

Love y'all. Bye!

Love you too. There we go.

There we go. We gotta do a heart.

Bye!

I'm so happy! Me too.

That was perfect. I know.

Obviously, meeting families is a big thing, you know,

for both of us, for Em and I,

immediate family is very big.

That was great. Like, it went exactly how... It was supposed to.

..I wanted it to. Me too.

Coming up... Familiar faces...

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

..take on the truth bike.

And I'm hearing juice for the first time

that's happened outside the villa.

What the hell happened?

Did you guys have an argument last night?

And you crown the winners of Love Island Australia!

Yay!

NARRATOR: Finale curveball.

We've decided to bring back our most charismatic, controversial,

and beloved Islander of all time.

Oh, what? What's that?

Oh my gosh!

Wait, what? What?

The fuck is... Why is it back?

Is this a joke?

I thought tough love was over.

Oh my god, when I saw the truth bike, I immediately had PTSD.

I just didn't want to get back on. Last time I was on this truth bike,

it didn't end well.

I don't like this.

Oh my god, I don't want to do this again.

Please, no.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Oh, I got a text!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(READS)

(ALL EXCLAIM)

What?

# You can't stop me or control me

# No, you can't hold me back... #

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(ALL EXCLAIM AND CHEER)

Oh my god, my people, my people, my people!

Yes, Em's people!

And Hannah.

I cannot even put into words how happy and excited

and elated I am.

I am obsessed, I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed.

This is kind of a little bit brutal to be doing

after a night out.

(ALL LAUGH)

Yeah, they went clubbing. No, we didn't pay.

Anyway, truth bike.

Ding for yes, honk for no.

What's been happening outside the villa

that we need to know about in here?

Oh, there must be some juice happening here.

Kaylah? Did you and Tay-Tay make love last night?

(RINGS BELL, ISLANDERS CHEER)

It was a long time coming.

Was it better than expected? Was it worth the wait?

(BELL RINGS)

Definitely. I really like Tay, and it was nice to have some alone time.

Do you feel like the time outside the villa,

you guys, do you feel like a lot closer?

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, definitely a lot closer.

A lot closer. A lot closer!

I'm so happy for them.

I can just sense how strongly they feel about each other.

And it's so nice.

I'm back. He's back!

Niko. Do you look better without a moustache?

No. Uh...

It's a no, I'm sorry.

I don't know.

My nan thinks so.

Clean boy.

Mimi. Was there another girl on your mind

while you were in the villa?

Fuck!

(BELL RINGS)

Who? Elaborate!

We were doing our... We were doing our own thing.

Um, she was in Spain.

She kind of flew home the day that I was coming in.

Oh.

So then it just kind of had my mind going of what would

happen if I was actually home.

Yeah.

As to why it was very hard for me to open up

and made things very confusing.

I just thought you were, like, asexual.

That's OK. The fuck is that?

Look, it is definitely shit to be thinking about

someone else in here.

Like, I'm out here with my heart on my sleeve.

And you got your mind on another girl.

Like, OK, but look, I am still happy for him.

Yes, Mia.

Do you think that you and Steph deserve

to be in the final?

(BELL RINGS) Yeah. 1,000%.

I do think every single person here deserves

to be in the final.

However, I'm gonna be real.

Me and Steph have had the longest connection here in the villa.

We've also been 100% authentic, real with each other

and every single person in here, which I don't think

some people may have been.

Yeah, you can clearly see how cut they are

that they got voted out for clout.

I'm not going to say anything, but we all had our reasons

for our votes and I stand by it.

Did you finally give Mimi a sample of the French baguette?

And if you did, did that French baguette

last longer than 30 seconds?

(BELL RINGS)

Yes.

(CHEERS)

Mimi got that French baguette! Oui, oui!

Do you think Dylan should have taken the $20,000 Sophie offered?

(BELL RINGS) 100%.

(SCATTERED MUTTERING)

Why? Um, I will explain myself.

Because after what's happened with Sophie and Dylan,

I feel like Sophie disappoint Dylan more than one time.

And both of them, I think they are not solid couple here.

So at this point, I think Dylan should take this $20,000.

That's your own opinion. That's my opinion.

Yeah, that's fair enough.

I'm allowed.

You're on the truth bike, bro.

This is the best truth bike ever.

I don't have to get on it.

And I'm hearing juice I'm hearing for the first time that's happened

outside the villa.

I was loving every second of it.

I was just sitting there smiling, being like,

what the fuck have I missed?

I hate this bike.

Yes, Em.

What the hell happened?

Did you guys have an argument last night?

(BELL RINGS)

Yeah. We had an argument last night.

Um...yeah.

Obviously we were both drunk and stuff,

but I did feel a certain way about a certain situation.

Was it like some of the old stuff that came up?

What got said? Yeah.

What was the argument about? Can I speak?

Uh, do you want to speak now or truth bike?

I want to speak now. Speak now, babes.

So, last night, I was so happy elaving the villa with Dylan.

We were on a high. We were very excited to meet up with everybody.

Um, when we got to the club, everyone was really happy.

And it's packed wall to wall in there, very busy.

And we're walking down to the dance floor and Zane's

in front of me, and he holds out his hand and I grab

his arm and we all link up. Because I grabbed his hand,

Dylan felt jealous and felt like I still have something for Zane.

There's a few things that happened.

I judged the room. Like what?

I judged the room and based my decision off

previous things in the villa.

And if you know your partner isn't comfortable around

someone because something's happened in the past,

you would make it your business not to portray that, you know. 100%.

And that's what I saw, you know.

You're not giving examples.

Nothing happened.

Maybe not have this conversation here.

You know what I mean?

I can talk if I want to.

TAYLOR: I know, but I'm just...

STEPH: Yeah, but we're all together here.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

OK. Can I ask you a question? Sophie.

Do you think that you are struggling because you have

trust issues with me now, and you're just, like,

seeing things that aren't there?

Do I have trust issues? (BELL RINGS) 100%.

Can you give me examples of what you saw last night?

Because you couldn't seem to tell me

in the argument last night.

You want me to tell you? Go ahead.

Sounds crazy. Um, then me and Zane, we're all chatting about Zane's,

love life outside the villa, and we're just chatting about it.

And you straight away, your body language switched up.

Because... And it's like you acted jealous that we're all looking...

Oh, Dylan.

Because you looked at the picture of this girl

and said, "Yeah, she's it."

And I said, "Who are you talking about?"

To my boy. My boy.

You got jealous.

But it's not to do...

I don't give a fuck about Zane.

No offence.

I don't give a fuck about Zane.

I like you, Dylan.

And you're not seeing it. It's fucking crazy.

Like, it's crazy.

Like, you're actually delusional.

I can, I can see, I can see where, where Dylan's coming from,

and I can see where Sophie's coming from.

I mean, when alcohol is involved, the emotions are high.

The worst bike ride of my life.

Oh god.

You OK?

I do feel really bad for Soph.

I can tell she's really upset, and I just want

to give her a big hug.

Poor Soph just looks so over it.

Not only is she hungover, but she's literally over

obviously, all of this chaos and drama, so I feel for her.

Come on. I know you want to.

Hannah.

Do you think it's going to be hard after Love Island is finished

when we go to group events with you, Dylan and Zane

all there? I think, yes,

but I don't think it should be.

I think that we're all platonically friends here.

Zane and I didn't even have an actual romantic connection.

It never even got there.

And it still isn't there, like it never has.

And it never will be.

Em.

Do you see yourself falling in love with Dylan?

(RINGS BELL) Yeah.

Sophie's falling for Dylan, 100%.

She wants Dylan and her to work.

I mean, but that's also for Dylan to trust her.

I feel for both. I mean, they do like each other,

but they really got to take a restart and start again.

Well, I can only assume from all the hugs

that they absolutely loved that. Look at the truth bike,

spreading joy since 2018.

See you tonight for the finale, guys!

(ALL CHEERING)

See you tonight!

Get some sleep!

Having them all back in, it just felt right.

Like, it felt like home again.

Everyone together.

It was so nice.

I did not expect that. That was the best surprise!

I'm really going to miss this whole experience.

But, yeah, it's been a once in a lifetime.

It's been incredible.

Let's do it. Our last afternoon.

KAYLAH: Seriously, I'm treasuring every moment here with you guys,

like, it's bloody beautiful.

ALL: Cheers, Love Island!

Hey, guys, I'm just getting ready to enter the villa

Guys, can you believe it? At all.

It's the grand finale, and you're all in it.

How's that? Crazy.

Isn't it the weirdest thing? Crazy.

So I've got a question for all of you.

Hands up if you think you made a good impression

with your partner's friends and families today?

Oh, that's good. That's very positive.

KAYLAH: Confidence is key.

That was very positive.

Kaylah, what did you do that you think impressed

the family and friends?

I mean, just like being myself. She was herself.

You know, gassed him up as he deserves.

Oh, really? Yeah.

He's just such a great guy. I was like, you know.

Yeah.

It must have gone pretty well because

are you now boyfriend and girlfriend?

Correct. Correct.

Yeah. (ISLANDERS EXCLAIM)

Oh, sorry, guys.

Em and Mercedes,

did you make a good impression on each other's parents?

I think so.

I refrained from doing my southern accent.

So that was like all that I was really, you know,

wanting out of the conversation.

Also, his mum is so gorgeous.

Is she? I'm going to twist and couple up with her tonight.

Yeah.

Oh, that's a good sign if you love the mum.

Exactly. Good job.

Niko and Mia!

Two sets of Greek parents.

Yeah. The toughest, aren't they?

No. No... They're alright.

Mia's mum and sister were very good.

So I've got a little surprise for you all.

I've edited together a compile

of your best moments in the villa.

And when I say I have, I didn't.

It was someone else.

Mia and Niko, come up and join me.

Nervous about anything?

Yeah, a little bit.

Niko, you had some early days in there.

Oh, are they getting shown?

Yeah! It's your journey.

Should be good.

Roll it.

# Where there's smoke there's fire. #

Walking in the villa, day one.

Hi!

Matched up with Hannah. We did click.

We did get along with each other.

Gonna suck my toe?

Maybe if I put a bit of Nutella or something.

She got feelings for Tay.

You fancied him from day one.

But things have been dying off, Niko.

I'm not going to be second best.

(PHONE CHIMES) I got a text!

Yasou, Niko!

Today is your lucky day.

A beautiful Greek boy deserves a beautiful Greek girl.

Love, Mia. Oh my god, I am so excited!

Like (SPEAKS GREEK). Like, seriously.

Oh!

So why did you choose me?

One (SPEAKS GREEK).

You are so gorgeous.

Oh! The sparks were flying from the moment we met.

For sure. For sure.

Did you feel that spark from the start?

I didn't even get to talk to you.

I just saw the back of your head, and I was like, yeah.

The back of my head. And I was like, OK.

I honestly do not think I was going to find anyone

I'd have an actual connection with, genuine.

I can't believe how tense our connection is.

We're both quite smitten.

(CHEERS)

The saying, love at first sight.

Maybe it's not love yet, but it definitely will be.

When I first saw you, I knew this is my girl.

This is my soulmate. I found something that's very special here.

So... Wow.

Yamas.

We did have our ups and downs.

I'm out of here. I'll pack my shit and leave tomorrow.

She's manipulating you. She's not manipulating me.

She's just telling me how it is and what you

said to her down there.

I'm very reactive. So I reacted that night.

You're in here for me or you're in here for her.

You choose. No, obviously I'm in here for you. I apologise.

I went about it the wrong way last night.

I feel like an idiot.

I feel like every time we do face an obstacle like that,

it does bring us closer in the end.

Hey!

Niko!

Oh, he's so hot.

To find someone like Mia is... I've hit the jackpot.

And you can't let these things go. When you know you know.

I feel so lucky.

I've literally walked in, met the guy of my dreams.

And I'm walking out with him. It's a win.

Loving it.

(ALL EXCLAIM) (APPLAUSE)

TAYLOR: You still looks sharp... (LAUGHTER)

So cute.

That first meeting, it was like love at first sight.

I know, right? You can't even explain it through that video.

No. You can't. You actually can't.

But it's like a movie that I've never seen.

It's better than a rom com.

So let's break it down now.

Future. Mia, you live in Adelaide?

Yeah. Niko, you live in Sydney?

Correct. What's...What's the plan?

Um... It's interstate travel.

Her mum and sister were beautiful.

I can't wait to go to Adelaide and meet them.

Yeah. Defo, that's the first thing I'm doing.

Or Mia comes up and meets my family. Definitely.

We'll be making some trips.

Who do you reckon will break first?

Who's going to move, do you think?

I don't know. Probably me.

Oh, yeah? Will you like Sydney?

She likes Sydney.

OK. Mia and Niko, everyone.

How gorgeous are they?

OK, Australia, voting is still open,

but only just. Go to 9now.com.au/loveisland

and click on your favourite couple.

You are watching the finale of Love Island Australia

and we're just minutes away from crowning our winners.

Welcome back to the grand finale of Love Island Australia.

I'm here with Em and Mercedes.

Hey, guys. Hi. Hello.

Who wants to watch some cool clips of your time in the villa?

We do! Let's do it.

Roll it, guys.

Coming into Love Island,

my expectations of finding love were kind of low.

Not gonna lie.

Em, what are you hoping walks through that door?

A fruity little boy.

Like a guy with feminine energy.

After a friendship couple with Indi...

I love my meat. (GAGS)

And a doomed romantic coupling with Taylor...

Whoever picks me, whether it's you, Krissy, or Hannah,

I would give her the time of day. Cool.

And I didn't know that it was going to happen for me.

I needed a very special guy.

Here comes Mercedes.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Coming in as a bombshell, Em kind of caught my eye.

Mercedes, do you want to go for a chat?

Let's do it. I don't need kids.

I could be happy with just my partner.

Talk dirty to me, Mercedes!

Pretty quickly into conversations with him,

I knew that he was somebody I was very interested in.

Right on! (CHEERING)

Everybody's, like, human and makes mistakes.

You think this is one? No.

Do you? (IMITATES EM) Noar! I didn't say it like that!

Noar!

When we connected, my Love Island journey started.

Ooh. I like you too.

We suit each other so well.

Like peanut butter and jelly, you know?

My head's not gonna change for anyone.

I don't care who comes in here. Me too.

I'm leaving with you or I'm leaving single.

Did you and Em have sex last night?

(RINGS BELL) (ALL CHEER)

I'm pissed off.

I feel like Mercedes embarrassed me.

You're mad at me for telling the truth on the truth bike.

That was a very tough day for us.

So I obviously made the wrong decision.

And, you know, I'm just truly sorry about that.

I do want you.

You're perfect.

I'm not perfect. Nah, you are.

Ever since that situation, we've just been going from

strength to strength.

Not the trip!

(CHEERING)

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC)

I feel so lucky to have met you here.

And I'm going to ask you to be my girlfriend.

(EM SCREAMS)

Yes!

(ISLANDERS CHEER)

Honestly, my dream girl and I feel

so lucky to have met her.

Ew. (GAGS)

(CHEERS, APPLAUSE)

Wow.

Why am I so funny?

Guys... I mean, making it official.

That's amazing and beautiful.

Also, you kiss a lot, don't you?

Yeah, we do.

I say to him down there, I was like, "Do you think our video

is just going to be us making out at various points in the villa?"

Yeah. And it was. And it was.

It's your love language. It is.

But also, you're very good at arguing and fixing it.

It's very rational and reasonable.

No, it was rational. How do you guys do that?

I need to learn. It's just maturity.

Yeah...Oh, it is? Yeah.

Maturity.

I think we both came here for the same reason.

And, you know, we knew when we met each other

that we were the right person for each other.

So...little fights.

It's not going to, you know, deter us from, you know,

what we need and what we want, and that's each other.

You're so rational, though.

I know, it's so annoying. Yeah, I know.

We're so grown.

Em and Mercedes, everyone, go take a seat!

(CHEERS)

Kaylah and Eric, come up here.

Wow.

Guys, what a whirlwind romance you guys have had.

Absolutely. Yeah.

I mean, it's been so fast.

But also in Love Island,

doesn't it feel like it's been, like, a year?

Oh, it's crazy.

I feel like I've known this man more than a year, and I feel like

he knows me more than anyone in the world right now.

So... That's what I love about this show.

It's intense, fast.

But, yeah, the bonds are quick, aren't they?

We love it. Yeah, great.

Do you want to see the highlights of the last few days?

Hell, yeah!

Anyway, let's have a look.

Roll it.

# What you call a bad chick This is what you call a bad chick. #

Coming into Love Island as a bombshell,

I was expecting to find the love of my life.

The boy I'd like to couple up with is Zane.

I was super duper duper keen on Zane.

I'm just not sure if I'm feeling the same way that you're feeling.

I was really questioning my experience in the villa.

And in walks Eric.

(ISLANDERS EXCLAIM)

The Love Island gods have answered my prayers.

Hey! Nice to meet you. Mwah!

You're definitely someone that I would go for, for sure.

Oh, really? Yay. 100%.

Kaylah's so sexy. Stunning.

She's the hottest one here.

I'm into, like, self-development.

Same. Do you highlight?

Yeah. I love highlighting.

Oh my god! What?

I just really felt this connection,

and I was so drawn to this man.

(CHEERING)

And he just, like, picked me up and...

Oh!

Definitely a few palpitations elsewhere.

The girl that I would like to couple up with is...Kaylah.

Chemistry's there. Like, the connection is real.

Can I kiss you?

Yeah, I'm so glad. Yeah...

I'm so content with you.

You're the one that I want.

(SMOOTH DANCE MUSIC)

I definitely feel like I'm falling for you.

That makes me excited because honestly, I feel the same way.

Like, I'm falling for you. And it feels so right.

Would you...like to be my girlfriend?

Yes. Yes?

We're boyfriend and girlfriend! Yeah.

Yes, we are.

It's a miracle. Like, it's actually a miracle.

I can't wait for our future together.

I seriously can't see it with anyone else.

Blessed.

(CHEERS, APPLAUSE)

Kaylah's got a boyfriend!

Oh my god, guys, how does it feel?

Is it like four hours of being boyfriend and girlfriend?

Yeah, it's... Yeah, it's about four hours.

Best four hours ever.

Really? Just the start.

Literally. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, Kaylah, when Eric walked in, what was going through your head?

Can you tell me? Were you like... Yes!

Like, literally, my heart dropped into my stomach

because I had been talking just a few hours before about, like,

tall, tan, tatted, trouble.

And like, here he was.

And then when he sat down and said he's a PT

and, you know, his energy, I could just feel his energy

from the moment he walked in.

And yeah, I'll never forget it. I think I felt the energy as well.

Is there a big thing about going to the gym?

Like, if you're a gym junkie, you want another one?

Is that like a, you know, that's how it goes?

I don't mind, but I just feel like we align in so many ways,

not just the gym, like, you know, all the little things.

You like doing stuff, like these ones.

One, two...

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

That's great.

Kaylah and Eric, everyone! (CHEERS) Go take a seat.

Thank you. OK, guys, breaking news.

The voting is now closed.

Audience...

Please give me a, "Ooh!"

(ALL 'OOH') Perfect.

Thank you so much.

OK, no more messing around.

After the break, I will announce the winners

of Love Island Australia 2024!

EOGHAN: P-p-p-p-previously on Love Island Australia.

Remix.

# Love Island season six has really kept us on our toes.

# Are you ready for a recap?

# Buckle up, here it goes.

# First day, five girls and five guys walk in.

# Dylan and his massive tongue had us in a spin.

# Taylor came a bomb and blew the other boys away.

# He's so immensely hot.

# Made me wonder am I gay?

# He coupled up with them and very quickly, they were serious.

# Did anybody notice that Em always says period?

# Indigo hit the road.

# AKA he got the dump.

# As well as feeling blue, he was in a massive hump.

# Kane was booted early, followed quickly by Eilisha.

# I think her love of language was her most attractive feature.

I see you guys like talking to them like they w-wha...

Doesn't bother me if she wants to talk.

I don't have anything there.

You know what I mean?

EOGHAN: (EXCLAIMS) No.

(SCREAMS)

# Niko was with Hannah.

# They had highs. They had lows.

# He gave us all trauma from sucking on her toes.

# Xanthe wanted Zane, and she didn't stop trying.

# But all that meant for us was she never stopped crying.

# When she got dumped we studied Zane closely.

# How would he react?

She cooked a good toastie.

# God Sydney and Steph came from LA and France.

# Mr Sacrebleu soon had Mimi in a trance.

# Tommy shook the villa by eating lots of eggs.

# We saw more of his ass than we did of his legs.

# Although his time was short, he went out with a bang.

# One man. One phrase, two words.

Gang gang.

# We had poles, we had games.

# We had sexy first base.

# We had strips, headbands.

# We had drinks in the face.

# We had brand new bombs, Kayla and Krissy.

# And when they drove past, the girls threw a hissy.

# Em and Taylor split. She was really cut deep.

# But wait, what's that?

# A Mercedes. Beep, beep.

# Greek boy Niko searching for his Aphrodite.

# Then in strolled Mia.

# Allelujah. God almighty.

I'm Zeus, baby.

Fucking lightning bolts like that.

Let's go.

# Hotel Amore had more drama than expected.

# Sophie got with Zane and Krissy got rejected.

# Dylan got annoyed. It was worse than expected.

# Hannah was dumped, but then was resurrected.

I know that you came into Love Island

to find your forever person and so did I.

I asked for a man who had similar values

and beliefs as me.

(GAGS)

# Movie nights, big fights, new bomb, Jay.

# New bomb, Eric. One left, one stayed.

# Now love is in the air and we need to pick a winner.

# For you at home watching, who's a saint, who's a sinner?

# The Monk will soon announce the results with a bang.

# So thanks for watching all. Peace out.

ALL: Dang, dang.

SOPHIE: Thanks, Eoghan.

Amazing rapping.

Welcome back.

This is the Love Island Australia grand finale

and I'm excited to say, the moment we've been waiting for

has finally arrived.

Woo!

The envelope please!

ALL: Ooh!

EOGHAN: Julio, you're on.

(EPIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Ah. Thank you.

That was extremely dramatic.

And also completely unnecessary because they tell me in my ear.

(LAUGHING)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

MAN: Woo.

# No fear tonight

# Take the shadows for life

# So powerful

# We rule the world

Mia and Niko.

# Now is my time

Em and Mercedes.

# Got a will to survive

And Kaylah and Eric.

Three incredible couples.

But only one can win.

# Emotions are running high

Good luck to you all.

# I know I've never felt like this

The winners of Love Island 2024 are...

# Emotions are running high

# I know I've never felt like this

# I've never felt like this. #

Em and Mercedes.

(CHEERING)

MAN: Woo!

We did it.

We did it. (SCREAMS)

OK, enough you guys.

Come over here.

Maybe prep yourself. You've got plenty of time for that.

You've just won Love Island 2024.

How does it feel?

It feels amazing.

Crazy, I can't believe it.

And having the bonus of like $50,000.

EM: It's insane.

Tell me what's going through your head.

We're just so grateful to even be here.

And spend the last couple of weeks

in the villa with the most amazing people.

(CHEERING)

MERCEDES: We did Love Island Australia.

Let's go.
