Former islanders delivering their brutal verdict by returning for a face-to-face vote, Dejon and Meg were sent packing a day before the final in a nailbitingly tight vote.
Appearing shortly after on Aftersun, Dejon and Meg were grilled on their romance and time in the villa, with Maya asking them about missing out on the final.
"We definitely expected it. We were really to go home, to be honest," Dejon told her.
"I mentioned to the few boys that, like, I feel like my Love Island experience is finished because I came here and got what I wanted with Meg."
During the final vote, the pair's connection was called into question, with some noting that they didn't think Dejon could remain faithful outside the villa as he had his "head turned" with newcomers frequently.
However, others thought they had already passed the honeymoon period, with their squabbles being a sign of a settled relationship.
"It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view," Dejon said.
"Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa."
When Maya asked if he understood why some people may have thought he had a game plan, Dejon added: "Yeah, definitely.
"Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was," he explained.

"But in the back of my head, I always knew it was Meg, so I definitely see why that kind of… there's a lot of opinions about that, and I feel like I could have explored connections with being less flirty and stuff."
"I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times.
"I'm very, very grateful for her, and now hopefully I can show what she deserves."
While the sweet moment seemed to go down well with Meg, viewers still remained unconvinced, questioning Dejon's authenticity and claiming his comments were "practiced" and for clout.

"The PR tour has started already with Meg and Dejon on #aftersun 'ready to leave' sureeeeeee," wrote one.
"Giving too much pr don't let dejon get away with it," noted a second, while a third said: "Dejon doing the old PR routine in this interview."
While others thought he had an ulterior motive, claiming: "The way Dejon keeps waffling on on Aftersun it reeks of trying to still get a brand deals when he's actually back in the UK."
"Dejon is doing a whole lot of talking but not actually saying anything," said another.
