I know I'm supposed to make this long and dragged out for SEO or whatever, but I don't think you want to read all that and I don't want to write it. So instead, here are the major takeaways from The Viall Files interviews with Love Island's Rob Rausch and Aaron Evans. Here's The Viall Files Aaron interview recap and Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington's The Viall File interviews if you missed them.
Rob's The Viall Files interview is in the same episode as Aaron's and started at about 1:40.
