Love Island USA's Season 5 ex-Islander Mike Starks Exclusive Interview

[@bmichele.c]

He just lights up with the BIGGEST SMILE when Destiny's name is apart of this conversation. Didn't smile as big with anyone else while in Villa or after show when talking about anyone else

[@jigiw]

i think is with Emily now!

[@runnerX007]

typically we get to know these people off the show and they're not "actually that bad".... then sometimes it's more like "WOW, they really ARE like that!" 😳

[@Veon_Ray]

...and sometimes we're just projecting our own shit and insecurities on people from tv shows 🙄

[@choymarie9672]

Mike can't help himself when he has to talk about Destiny, the smile on his face is priceless. 🥰😍

[@jigiw]

is not with Emily now?

[@kai8865]

It makes alot of sense that the question was asked multiple times and that’s why Mike got annoyed. It’s obvious production didn’t want Kay Kay to leave with Keenan and while that still had nothing to do with Sarah, in that moment Mike obviously wasn’t thinking about production being the real cuprite.

[@SerenityAtLast87]

Yeah I can see why he would assume that they were coming at Kay Kay at certain way. Like he doesn’t see what we saw so he probably thought they didn’t want this girl with his friend for some reason

[@Two2too]

We don't see and hear everything that they do, so that's why I don't like to judge them on the things they say. The producers are causing online bullying with their poor edits.

[@JLvatron]

Mike was right, Sarah's question wasn't respectful to KK.

[@nihileyes]

Eating sushi & ramen and watching anime is not weird 😭 this guy needs to find a personality outside of being a weeb

[@FredFlint9]

It’s weird for a black person standard honestly and everybody who reacts to love island was saying he only like white girls and I can’t lie that is the starter kit 😂 anime and sushi

[@tiyi_a]

literally i was like? um okay 😭

[@zoeygray1]

This man is so arrogant. Mr “Sarah Hyland doesn’t know me so why should I know her”

[@MsMartyMa]

Did he lie? What’s arrogant about being honest 🥴

[@zoeygray1]

@@MsMartyMa Sarah Hyland is a famous actor. He has 37k on instagram. They are not the same.

[@tychan2788]

​​@@MsMartyMa😅😅😅😅 I'm still Looking for What's Arrogant About what he said as well. I like that he talked his mind on how he felt kudos to him.

[@trinitydivine09]

@@MsMartyMahe was rude to Sarah Hyland. You canbe honest about something without being rude. He says he apologized to her but in the same breath he says he didn’t know who she was, like she is not worthy of his respect. That’s arrogance.

[@Two2too]

​@trinitydivine09 He said he didn't know her. That's not arrogant. A lot of people didn't know who Sarah was before LI. Some people didn't know Arielle or Mya before LI either.

[@TedJamesLytle790]

I watch this show with my wife. We love it. One thing we have learned is that it is the producer's job to create chaos. Now instead of passing judgement, we assume the producer's are manipulative and islanders are never as bad as they seem. We are probably a bit older than the target audience. I just don't get why people go to the trouble to disrespect others online. If you do, you are probable too immature to understand that you are also being played as fan of the show. Best just to wait for THIS podcast, These interviews are every bit as entertaining as the show. Great job, ladies!

[@runnerX007]

it was literally her job to reiterate "are you sure" when KK said she wanted to leave; had nothing to do with questioning the relationship

[@ZenSpacey]

Agree 💯 I need to copy and paste this! Well said

[@chaosdream21]

I would fully watch a separate show about Alex and Elizabeth skin care routines.

[@toni6490]

"If I wanted to get back with her, I'm sure I could" (Mike on his ex 'situationship' prior to Love Island). Barf! 🤢. The arrogance and treating women like objects that apparently 'fall at his feet' mentality is disgusting. Sorry, not sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@VMONdaDON]

You have no idea how him and is situationship ended what if she was begging for him too come back. You sound mad arrogant to generalize a whole relationship based off a comment🤢

[@breonna7189]

I AGREE WITH U. HE'S AWFUL. LOL

[@kitaboo2245]

The way he did Daija was terrible. People love to make black women out to be ratchet, not classy, masculine, etc. Daija was non of the above and carried herself like a lady and was gorgeous on top of that. Only to be dumped for a girl who was mid af and talked like a valley girl and like she had something in her mouth just bc she’s white. Black men like him kill me lol.

[@trinitydivine09]

Omg so arrogant. Just because you don’t know how famous someone is doesn’t mean that you can be disrespectful to them. He’s not even sorry for what he did. I can’t even finish watching this.

[@kitaboo2245]

She’s a nobody lol

[@DjTIMEJD]

Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you can be disrespectful. I’m glad Mike called her out and put her back in her place:

He talks a lot lol, specifically going off on tangents.

[@amk-ur3nq]

he definitely watched it all the way through lmao. how many times he gonna say he hasn’t watched it? like every other sentence holy shit

[@CarlaNotKarla]

His response to Sarah was bs and her tone was fine...gtfoh bye Mike glad u went home. Of course u don't care.

[@NadiaGJay]

This was difficult to watch.

[@estheradegoke9060]

Not him trying to make this a civil rights issue chilee

[@THO1Nation96]

riiightt!!! I was like wtf

[@kitaboo2245]

Gosh, this man is super long winded. He loves to hear himself talk. I’m sure we will see him on Love island Games. He’s definitely entertaining.

[@kitaboo2245]

Not the MLK speech around the 30:00 min mark lol

[@s-ji5cg]

Oh boy here we go!

[@valeriesrealityreviews444]

Mike needs to self reflect because for him to try and justify his comment is mind blowing. Even on the day other Islanders disagreed with his comment. For him to use equity and freedom of speech to justify his ignorance is sad. For him to talk about being respectful when he disrespected Destiny and Dasja is 🤯.

[@CourtneQuintae]

Yall are making a be deal over that little ass moment.. id hate to see how yall deal with the real world😂

[@nylajames3766]

The moment he said society is becoming more “free” with speech and choices shows his Ignorance. He needs to grow up.

[@jamierivkind8439]

Can’t wait for this one!!

[@JLvatron]

Mike wasn't eliminated by the voting... he was eliminated for talking straight to Sarah Hyland.

[@kitaboo2245]

I knew they edited Mike’s convo with Sarah wrong. Anything to make the big black man look bad towards the innocent white woman. I knew it was a reason he snapped on her lol

[@kitaboo2245]

So at the end he confirms he wasn’t really into Des and used her for Villa clout lol

[@sandrinebiyiti9875]

Exactly 💯

[@jigiw]

is with Emily now.

Mike aka the snow bunny hunter no damn well Kay Kay was not on his radar. Stop! The show is over now. You are not gonna win the 100k lol. He couldn’t wait to find his snow Queen.

[@lisabella221]

i understood his explanation but then he started to be arrogant and disrespectful. not a fan of him

[@Two2too]

Don't feel bad. I didn't know who Sarah Hyland was either until I saw her on Love Island.

Modern family is iconic. Please try 😂

[@Two2too]

@@bee3467 Nope. I'll take your word for it.

[@Ursweetplace]

Same. Didn't know who she was either 😂. Just like I didn't know who Sophia was until she became a judge on AGT. I'm not sure why people can't believe that.

there's something really wrong with this man. not sure if he's trying to have the viewers sympathy because of his skin colour or what but its almost like his playing a character

[@sandrinebiyiti9875]

He is so dry... 😒

[@tonibrooks9719]

Excuse me but what in the world is that comment about? Sympathy because of his skin color? That is an ignorant thing to say. I have the same skin color as him and we don’t want your sympathy, if anything we want equality and respect.

[@The_Soulful_Ginger_94]

I don’t think his arrogance has anything to do with his skin color. Tf?? What an ignorant comment.

[@Rachel4momo]

What a jerk. The way he spoke to Sarah Was disgusting

[@Blondie_007]

Still confused why you guys are having these people that were “controversial” on this season but wouldn’t have Jeff on last season?

[@The_Soulful_Ginger_94]

I think Jeff declined a lot of interviews afterwards. He didn’t show up at the reunion either. He’s definitely not the type that’s good with confrontation and tends to get defensive-even aggressive- if he feels he’s being “attacked.” Probably didn’t want anymore bad press.

What’s mike’s youtube channel

Chatty patty

[@joeyshiver5802]

I wonder if Mike watched the episodes lol

[@bsab9648]

[@ambernicole8534]

I like him 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope him & Destiny have a chat on the outside 🎉

[@sandrinebiyiti9875]

I really thought that Destiny and him were falling in love with each other and that we will see a wonderful love story but Mike was just using Destiny like a place holder. He was way more attracted to Emily than Destiny.
