Of course, we had to get into the nitty-gritty.
What happened between Andy and Mady, and will they ever connect outside of the villa?
What’s next for these two stars, now that they have significant platforms?
What it was like for you both to find yourselves in the bottom four?
But I knew that also my relationship with some of the other girls …
I felt like if it was their choice, there’s a chance I might not be here tonight.
Andy Voyen: Yeah.
For myself, I was a little surprised to be in the bottom two couples.
I was a little surprised to be in the bottom two.
I was a little shocked being in the bottom two couples though.
Andy took risks in the villa.
Did they pay off?
How did it feel knowing that your fate was in the hands of the other islanders?
Andy: I am okay with it being in their hands.
They’ve been with us in the villa and seen our connections.
But I also think there’s a con to it where some of the decisions could be biased.
They go for whoever they’re closer friends with or whoever they think are their friends …
They’ll save the guy that their friend wants.
They’ll do things like that, so there’s pros and cons to it.
Well, with a show like “Love Island,” time isn’t really on your side.
I’m not going to lie.
Then I took the risk on Sydney [Paight].
What’s your reaction to that?
Bria: My reaction was, “Hmm?”
She mentioned that she moves at a slower pace than maybe what was considered normal in the villa.
I had a really quick turnaround.
Let’s attempt to have a connection."
I felt like we had an attraction, we had some similarities.
Sarah Hylandmade a surprise appearance to guide this elimination.
What’s going through your head when you’re going through this process?
Bria, anything to add to that?
Bria: My first impression …
I hadn’t met her except for the night that I got eliminated.
For me, it was a bittersweet moment meeting her.
I was like, “I’m happy to see you.
I’ve always wanted to see you in person.”
It makes your “Love Island” experience feel super real when you see the host.
What has that shared experience been like for you?
What are you hoping that he’s going to accomplish while on the show?
Bria: I hope that he finds a connection, one where it’s reciprocated for him.
I’m still cheering him on.
But we have a unique experience now to share together.
We already did so much together, but it’s like we’re close-close now.
Talk about having a wealth of stories to share around the Thanksgiving table this year.
What went wrong there?
Andy: Mady right away checks all my boxes.
She’s super sweet, genuine, [and] family-oriented, all things that check my boxes.
That’s why I took the risk with Sydney there.
That’s why I made that decision.
But Mady is I cannot say a single bad thing about that girl.
Are you open to reconnecting with her once the show is over?
Andy: I don’t know what the future brings for her.
Obviously, I am excited to talk to her again and see where her head’s at.
I don’t know, but I’m not going to kill the door off.
Once she gets out of the villa, we’ll see where everything’s at.
What’s next for Andy and Bria?
Now that you both have had this experience, what’s next?
I definitely want to incorporate my fashion with my social media and do something there.
Andy: I want to get back into the TV world, but now within my profession.
Because I’m a realtor, I would love to get on HGTV.
I would love to get back on TV, but in the real estate world this time.
