16x06 - Week 4

[bunniefuu]

Previously
on "The Bachelorette"...

Clare, will you marry me?
[gasps softly]

Yes.

Clare found
her happily ever after,

and a new romantic journey
began.

Hi, guys!
I'm Tayshia.

Tayshia's just amazing.

She couldn't be better.

But then four new men arrived.

Ooh!
You are beautiful.

Hope you guys are ready
for a few more.

And the competition between

the new and the old guys
was fierce.

I'm pissed.
It's us versus them.

And tonight...

[dramatic music]

Looking good.

♪ ♪

This is a girl's dream,
honestly.

This is every morning
at Chateu Bennêtt.

I could get used to this.

I could be the main course
for breakfast.

[laughs] [squeals]

I definitely want her
for myself.

That was good.

Just the life
of the Bachelorette.

What can I say?

I enjoy every second
I get with you.

I'm trying to have the best
love story ever.

Every moment is precious,

so I'm gonna fight
for what I want.

[bell dings]
This is battle.

Blood, sweat, tears, regret.

[all shouting]
[gasps]

The medics are heading over.

And then Noah hopped
the fence.

All hell is breaking loose.

He's trying to push himself

onto group dates.

I think it's immature
to do that.

I'm not gonna let this go.

You can think
what you wanna think.

You're a fraud.
You're a phony.

This [bleep]
needs to [bleep] stop.

I'm not taking anymore, dude.

I'm bringing Wolverine out,

and it's gonna get bloody.

It's all coming up tonight
on the "The Bachelorette."

[upbeat music]

[birds chirping]

Last night, I think
this whole experience

finally sunk in.

I had an amazing one-on-one
with Brendan.

I really feel like
he's husband material.

I don't know.
I think he just really

set the bar high
for a lot of the guys.

And today, I have a group date,

which I'm actually
so excited about.

I honestly cannot wait.

It's gonna be a good day.

I'm excited for today.

I mean, for all of us
on this date,

it's our first time
seeing Tayshia

since the first night.

So, uh, I'm just ready
to figure out

what the date's gonna be.

So on the date today,
we have Montel, Ivan,

Demar, Ben, Chasen,

Ed, myself, and Bennett.

It's been a few days now
since I've seen Tayshia,

so, yeah, really excited
for the date.

Come on, boys.
[overlapping chatter]

Get after it.

I'm looking forward to going

on the group date today.

For me, this is a new energy,

a new life.
It's like a rebirth.

So it--it's gonna be
a good time.

[laughter]

Hi!
It's good to see you.

Good to see you too.
You look beautiful.

Tayshia's
looking gorgeous today.

Can't wait to just spend
some time with her.

I really, really want
that Group Date Rose.

Okay, I'm really excited

to hang out with you guys today.

I've been dying to see y'all.

Um, I actually brought
two of my friends

to take care of the date today.

I have no idea what's happening,

but I heard it's really,
really fun.

So you guys ready to do it?
Cool, let's do it.

Let's do it.
Let's do it.

Okay, cool.
Let's go.

Oh, hey.

This is the story
of one woman...

And her quest for love.

She's been through it all,

and now she knows
what she's looking for.

She's looking for a man.

She's looking for...

a grown-ass...

man!

Bravo!
[laughs]

Hey!
Hi, guys!

Hello, guys!
Hello.

How are you?
Hi!

So for those of you
that don't know,

this is Ashley and Jared.
Hey.

They met each other

on "Bachelor in Paradise."
Mm-hmm.

And we've been married
for a year now.

Look at this.
Yeah.

She's got a ring
on her finger.

All: Ooh!
[applause]

[laughs]

Today, we're gonna put you guys

through a set of challenges,

and at the end of today's date,
one of you

will be crowned
"a grown-ass man."

And unfortunately,
one of you will be labeled

as a "man-child."
Oh.

[chuckles] Mm.

It is a known fact I came here

not looking for a boy,
but for a man.

Everybody, take a seat.

So today, we're gonna
put them to the test.

Really excited for today's date.

I'm looking
for a grown-ass man, okay?

[laughs]
So Tayshia's looking

for someone who is smart.

So we're gonna test
your skills in math

and spelling today.

Good luck, guys.

You know, growing up,
school was not challenging,

you know, whatsoever.

You know, I did go to Harvard,

and I think is, uh,
playing into my favor.

Yeah, I think I'm,
you know, in the sort of

upper echelon in terms
of being a grown-ass man.

I'm certainly the smartest.

"You are going on a date with
the beautiful Bachelorette,

"Tayshia herself.

"If you wake up at 7:35 a. m.,
[alarm ringing]

"and it takes you 1 hour
and 42 minutes to get ready

"and walk to her suite,
at what time

will you get to the date?"
[timer dings]

Flip 'em over!
"9:17."

"9:17."
"9:17."

"9:17."
Bennett, what do we got, bud?

"9:07."
The correct answer is 9:17.

Congratulations, gentlemen
who did get that correct.

Okay.

"Tayshia has 25 roses total.

"She gave out six roses
during a cocktail party,

"one First Impression Rose,
and three

"during one-on-one dinners.

How many roses
does Tayshia have left?"

That's kind of
a poorly-worded question.

Well, that's a judgement call.

[laughter]

The correct answer was 15!

Bennett got it wrong.
It's all right.

We all have off days.
You know what I mean?

I just found out that

Bennett went to Harvard,
actually,

which I'm a little shocked at

because his answers
were a little questionable.

Well, if it had been
worded appropriately,

that would have been different.

Harvard might have to drop
their tuition prices

after seeing Bennett's
performance today.

Maybe he didn't stay
the full four years

like Mark Zuckerberg.

I don't know what he's doing.

Spell "limousine."

Three, two, one.

It's L-I-M-O-U-S-I-N-E.

[groans]
Oh, Bennett forgot the U!

Wait.
Who went to Harvard here?

[laughs]

Mr. Harvard
had more wrong answers

than I did, for sure,
and I went to Arizona State.

Oh, no.

Some of these questions,
you know, caught me off guard.

I still think I have
a good chance

of winning this competition.

It really is gonna depend
on the next, you know,

three or so events, and we'll
see what we have in store.

All right,
off to our next challenge.

Now like we talked about,

Tayshia is looking
for a grown-ass man.

Grown man.
And that means fighting

for the person you love--
both emotionally

and physically.

The date today was about

how Tayshia's looking
for grown-ass men,

and I'm really excited
to show her

how grown... my ass is...

[laughs]
as a man.

The person who gets ahold
of the bouquet

will be the winner of that duel.

I wanna see, like,
how down and dirty

you guys get with this.

Show up!
[laughter]

This challenge requires
a lot of strength,

and it's a little competitive,

which... a little competition
never hurt nobody.

All right,
in three, two, one--go!

You got it, you got it
you got it, you got it.

Go, people, you got it, go!
Get it!

I--I definitely feel like
I have what it takes to win

this grown-ass man challenge,

and that's what I'm going after.

That was good.
Ben versus Ed.

No.
This one is--no!

Hey, you got this, bro.
Let's go.

I mean, he's got tree trunks...
No.

But you're fine, man.
You got this.

I am a grown-ass man,
but, uh, Ben's the guy

no one would wanna do a leg
competition against.

Go!
Let's go, Ben!

Oh, my gosh!
[squeals]

Ed is really struggling
'cause, you know,

Ed's got some chicken legs.

Oh, my gosh!
[overlapping shouting]

[grunts] Oh!

[laughter]

[uneasy music]

So I got smoked.

I mean, it wasn't even
a fighting chance.

Good job.
You know, if I miss

the award for the grown-ass
man, I can accept that,

as long as I avoid
the man-child award.

Unfortunately,
I can't really participate

in to the physical competition
due to a old, you know,

football knee injury
that's still kind of with me,

but, you know,
well--it's all right.

It's all right.

Oh.
It's not by choice.

Bennett 100%
does not deserve to win

the grown-ass man competition.

He missed a ton of questions
in the beginning.

He didn't know
how to spell "limousine."

On top of that,
he didn't even compete

in the tug-of-w*r.
So, like, I don't think

he's really in the running
for anything right now.

All right, you guys.
Well, welcome

to the breakfast in bed
challenge.

The best challenge
'cause there's donuts.

I mean, I'm clearly a fan.
[laughs]

Oh, my gosh,
I love a man that can cook,

so I'm really excited to see
what they whip up.

I could get used to this.

[bright music]

Ooh, I smell bacon.
I know, I smell it.

Tayshia,
how are we on avocado?

I love avocado!
[blender whirs]

[softly] I was really excited
about Bennett at first,

but I--I don't really know

about that math test
that we had.

I haven't really excelled
on the events,

coupled with my, uh, falls
on a couple of questions,

but, otherwise,
I think I'm up there.

I'm a contender.
What are we judging this on?

Thoughtfulness is, like,
definitely--

I need some bold moves.

I need people
to step up, you know?

Both: Five, four, three,
two, one!

Everybody have their hands up.

Look at Bennett!

I think we're getting
a bold move.

[laughs]
This is a very bold move.

All right, great.
Demar, you are

our first man up.

[laughs] Hi!

So I figured
since I'm currently

in Scottsdale, Arizona,
where we do

"Sunday fun days," right,
you gotta have a mimosa...

I love that.
To get things started.

Group dates
are always very competitive.

You have to bring your A game.

There's so many
alpha males here.

The little things matter,
and I'm always gonna

be here for you, for sure.

Being bold and being assertive

gets you a rose,
so you gotta make

the best of every group date.

Oh, my gosh!
[exhales loudly]

Ahh!
[laughs]

Ed!

For Tayshia, I have

something special planned

where I'll stand out,

and I'm excited to see
what happens.

You know, I just thought
that I could be

the main course, uh,
for breakfast.

[laughs]

Just get, like, right here

and give you a nice, little hug.

Thank you.
You look good in that apron.

Thank you.
I think Chasen kind of,

you know,
scrapping the breakfast

and saying that "I'm the feast"

and, you know, being--being
shirtless is, you know,

slightly boyish,
but that's okay.

I think everyone
has their own approach,

and, you know,
to each their own.

Next up, Bennett.

Bennett.
Hello, hello.

How did this happen?
All right, all right.

[laughs]

I feel confident

that I'm a grown-ass man.

I'm not afraid to be who I am,

and, you know,
I think a woman respects that.

What are you doing?
It's, uh, breakfast in bed,

you know?
[laughs]

Oh.
So...

[whispers] [bleep], Bennett.

Looks good.
I think this is kind of like

a Sunday, you know, morning--

slow and easy.
Mm.

Bennett's bougie, okay?

He's bougie, and I'm bougie,

so... I appreciate it.

I know that you like,
you know, donuts,

and naturally, you need
to have a beignet...

I love beignets.
From Chateau Bennêtt.

Oh!
That was good.

Yeah, so, you know...
That was really good.

Just Bennett took it
over the top

with the robe
and then getting in bed.

He made it more
of an intimate moment,

and when she was
sitting next to him,

it looked like she forgot
about everybody else

in the room.

Thank you.
[laughing]

You're welcome.

Thank you!
Of course, anytime.

I think that that
was impressive to Tayshia,

that intimacy.

Ah-choo.

[sneezes]
Cover your nose!

Cover your nose!
I'm sorry.

I was tested.

I think all of you guys

did a great job today,

and I'm really impressed
by all of you.

I think that Tayshia
has some hard decisions

lined up for her.
Yep.

[sighs] All right, so...

[baby doll coos]

This is awarded to
the man-child of the evening.

You will have to carry this
as long as Tayshia so desires.

So the award for man-child
this evening goes to...

Ed.
What?

[laughter]
What?

Come on and get your doll, Ed.

[laughter]

So--oh, well, Ed...
Oh, my gosh!

You gotta make sure
you hold it like a real baby.

Support the head, Ed.
Support the head.

I got the man-child award.
I view it as a fun thing.

I mean, I think Tayshia knows
only certain people in the room

can take that.
I mean, I--I'm a fun guy.

I love a little joke.
I'm gonna own it.

This is a good look.
Boom!

The upside of this
is that there's nothing sexier

than a man taking care
of a baby.

So maybe later
at the cocktail party...

Great.
Hope he--I hope he has

a name too by then.

Carlos.
Carlos!

Ed was such a good sport
about the baby.

He just brings a good,
light energy to everything.

So... I don't know.

I was really,
really proud of him.

I'll be giving out

the grown-ass man award,

and this man, when it got
to the final round,

he really showed up.

He made a romantic moment.

This man is...

Bennett.

Congratulations, Bennett.
Thank you.

Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Oh.
[chuckles]

[dramatic music]

When Bennett kissed her,
the whole room cringed.

That just shows
that he's classless.

He has no respect
for the other guys.

He's wearing a [bleep] robe
in front of everyone,

thinking he rules the world
because he's from Harvard.

Wha--are you trying
to take a picture?

Yeah, I think we're just,
you know, posing for the boys.

All right, Bennett,
you can go over there now.

[laughter]
Are you sure? Yeah.

I don't play those games,

and I don't think Tayshia
really appreciates that either

because that's not being a man.

Let's get ready
for our after-party

'cause this date
isn't quite over yet.

And if he's gonna
continue riding his ego,

it's gonna sh**t him
in the foot.

♪ ♪

[insects chirping]

[curious music]

This looks nice!

Today was awesome.
I won the grown man challenge.

Tonight, I'd love to pick up
right where I left off

in that bed with Tayshia
and, you know,

continue on our evening.

Where is the tequila?

Oh, my God, it's right here.

Regardless of what happens,

I am very confident
that I'm gonna get that rose.

You brought the diploma out.

You know, I thought it was
the trophy of the evening.

It won't come
with me everywhere.

Do you--do you think
you earned it, though?

I have, you know,
all the confidence of being

a grown-ass man in any,
you know, way, shape, or form.

Does a--does a grown-ass man

not compete
in a physical competition

and has to sit out?

I--I--if you wanna
go down that route,

I--I got the award
and didn't compete

in one of the, you know,
competitions.

That is true.
So how does that

make you feel, man?
But you competed poorly

as well, though,
is the other thing.

That kiss in there
was very, very cringe-y.

Cringe-y?
Just kind of like

your robe right now, buddy.
Aww.

That's all right, man.

Kind of making me cringe
a little bit.

Bennett, it's called
a cocktail party

for a reason, buddy.

You don't wear a robe.

It's not gentlemanlike,

especially for Tayshia.

That's not the kind of
grown-ass man

that she needs to be with.

Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello.

How are you?
I'm good.

How are you?
Oh, we're doing great.

Good.
Today was just like a fun--

it was a fun day
out with the guys.

Hello!
You got dressed up, I see.

I think the entire group
is a group of men, not boys,

and I hope that the evening

also turns out to be a good one.

Yeah, I just, you know...
Whew!

Wanted to wear the robe.
I was hoping to pick right up

where we sort of left off.
Oh, you're funny.

If you don't mind,
I'd like to kind of

get things going,
just real quickly.

Just--and we'll take
two minutes.

W--uh, okay, um...

I'm just gonna say hi
to everyone first, though.

Is that cool?
Of course.

Okay.
Whatever the girl wants,

the girl gets--absolutely.
Okay.

You guys, today was fun.
So much fun.

Yeah?
Yeah.

And Carlos...
We added a new guy

to the pack.
It's so nice of you

to join us.
[doll squeals]

I'm just so happy.
I feel like I really have

some grown men,
and I'm just really excited

to get to know you guys
a little bit more tonight.

Maybe we should
just cheers to that.

Is that good?
Yeah, absolutely.

For sure.

Ooh!

Cheers, y'all!
All: Cheers.

Cheers to some grown men!
Yes.

[laughs]
I'll cheers to that.

Tayshia, can I actually
grab you first?

I'd love that.
All right, perfect.

Oh, interesting.
We'll finish

our conversation.
Okay.

Interesting, all right.

Be right back.
[doll cooing]

Chasen with the swoop.
[laughs]

That's all right.
I was gonna take, you know,

two minutes, but, you know,
grown-ass men have manners.

So I'm so excited
every time I--I get

to hang out with you,
and just, like,

you amaze me more and more.

Oh!
And, uh, you know,

last time we talked, um,
we were talking about family.

Yeah.
Um, so family's

super important to me.
I love that.

And, like, that's everything
that builds me up.

My little sister's married.
She's--

Oh, is she?
Yeah, she's just expecting

a--a kid in February.
No way.

So I found out
a couple weeks ago,

like, I'm gonna be an uncle.
So it's just like--

That's exciting!
I know, so, like, I, like--

Congratulations.
I, like, lit up.

Like, just like my heart,
like, kind of exploded

and, like, dropped
at the same time.

Oh.
And I'm at this point

where, like, I've actually
never been in love.

No?
I've gone through

some relationships, and we can,
like, talk about this,

like, later on.
Yeah, I definitely

wanna know.
But, you know,

this is why I'm here
on this journey.

Mm-hmm.
And I think it's

very important
just to get to know you

and, like, learn
where you come from.

Like, what makes Tayshia
Tayshia?

Was it really grown-ass man
to kind of just, like,

"Oh, by the way,
I'll hop right in here"?

Yeah.
But that's fine.

That's how it goes.
What do you think, um...

his conversation
is like with her?

I'm sure his conversation
is what we see.

It's just like--oh,
he probably has

his five adjectives:
"You're beautiful.

You're energetic.
You light up my life."

Unfortunately, she doesn't see
the Chasen we see.

Chasen's a fraud.
Chasen's a phony.

The guy's more or less
an actor, in my mind.

Well, likewise.
Good seeing you.

Ooh!
He just kind of repeats

what he thinks
he's supposed to say,

and it, you know--it's just
not believable.

The longer Chasen
spins this web of deceit

over to Tayshia,
he's gonna be around.

So how's your night?

It's going well.
Yeah?

Yeah, a little better
that you're here.

Me too.
I'm excited to be here.

It's so funny 'cause, like,
I feel like, um--

like, I'm attracted to you.
Yeah.

I feel like we have chemistry.

That makes two of us.
Okay.

Yeah.
But also, like,

I feel like my guard goes up
when I'm around you sometimes.

Really?
I get nervous.

I'm also very nervous
right now.

Mm-hmm.
It's a weird thing.

I, like, don't--
this doesn't happen.

My heart doesn't race.
I, like, don't get sweaty.

But my heart's racing,
and you're--you're feeling

my hands right now.
[laughs]

Um, so it's like
a weird feeling for me,

but I--I like it, you know.
Okay.

Well, I like it too.
So...

Cool.
We'll keep talking then.

So what do you wanna know?
Okay.

So let's see.

Well, first of all,
how are you--

how and why are you single?

I, uh, so I've always,
like, been a relationship guy.

Mm-hmm.
I've had a couple

longer relationships in my life,

but two years ago, I ended one

that I thought
was gonna last forever.

Mm-hmm.
And the ending

of that relationship,

like, destroyed me.

And so for the last two years,
I just haven't even tried

to date anybody.
Yeah.

But I, uh--the feeling
that I feel right now

is, like, the thing
that I was hoping to feel,

and I--I'd love to kiss you.

So I'm happy.

It was curious, you know.

Obviously, we've got Tayshia
in here.

Thank God, right?
And, uh, most of us

are really, really
fired up about that.

I think that there's
a bit of a, you know,

elephant in the room
with some others

that perhaps
aren't as, you know, fired up.

[tense music]

Is it anybody here
you're talking about?

So who--so who--
who are you speculating?

'Cause I'd like to get down
to the bottom of it

if you're pointing fingers
at me.

I think, you know,
there might be some question--

I think Ed brought that up--

you know, if you're as genuinely

fired up about Tayshia as I am.

I'm just posing the question.
Oh, yeah.

I appreciate as a man
that you're coming at me.

I'm posing it as a question.

Those guys can come at me
all they want--

Batman and Robin.

I'll be Superman,
so--actually, I'll be Wolverine

'cause that's kind of
my nickname, but, uh...

we'll let them
find that out later.

Yeah, I mean, I definitely did
share moments with Clare.

Right, right.
You know?

I--I was able to have
a little bit more

one-on-one time.
Ah, I mean, come on, dude.

No, it is--it is
definitely tough to pivot.

The fact that she had Dale
in her mind the whole time

with those conversations
was not authentic.

It was not real.
Look who's talking, man!

And I'm still getting
to know Tayshia.

But, like, you're not
here for the right intentions.

You're a bad actor.

You don't have a future in that.

You're not good at it.
Ed, I don't even know

if I can take you serious
sometimes anymore.

You're holding a baby.

You have chicken legs.
You lost the competition.

[scoffs] Dude, "chicken legs"?

That's fine, man.
Come on, man.

Chasen's super fake.
I think he's fake and phony.

You don't want someone
like that to get down,

close to Tayshia and actually
potentially steal her.

So I think we can send him

back to San Diego pretty soon,
hopefully.

[baby doll crying]

So, um, we have
a lovely lady here.

I think it's up to her
who is a grown-ass man.

There's still, uh, a rose
to be awarded,

and, um, cheers...

to being a gentleman
and a grown-ass man.

All: Cheers.
Aww, cheers to you, Ivan.

Cheers, my man.
I can't cheers you.

Aw, jeez, Chase.

No cheers, man?

Come on.
No.

No cheers?
You crossed it, buddy.

I crossed it?

All right.
Chasen's an idiot!

I mean, there's nothing that's
gonna be subtle with the guy.

I'm able to see through
Chasen's BS so easily.

I call him a phony.
I call him a fraud.

I know he knows that.

What needs to happen
is that Tayshia

needs to see him
for who he is--a phony.

I think we need Chasen
out of here!

That's what we need.

[laughs] Um--but no,

the man-child thing was...
it was funny.

It was great.
It was ironic

because I want
a little Danny Carlos.

[laughs]
I mean, I'm--I'm 36.

So I--that--
this is what I want.

I want a family.
That's why I'm here

right now, literally.

I just want you to know
that, you know,

I'm here for the right reasons,
and I think there are

some people that might not
be as genuine, you know.

I--I don't wanna name-drop.
Really?

Yeah, I--I had
a little conversation tonight

with Chasen, and I think one
of the things I've discussed

just kind of man-to-man
with Chasen

is that I've heard him say
identical things to Clare

that he's been saying about you
and just kind of using

the same exact adjectives,
the same verbiage,

the same words.

And I said, "Chasen,
are--I mean, you turn this on

"more or less sometimes
when the cameras are on,

when we're
on these group dates,"

or whatever it might be,
and I just wanna make sure

that whoever you choose
out of the guys here

is, you know, someone
that's genuinely here

for the right reasons
and not for, you know,

the Instagram followers.

I asked him tonight, like,
"What's real?

"Or did you feel this way
about Clare?

Do you feel--they're completely
different people."

And to--to compare
and contrast--

What was his response?

He just called my legs
"chicken legs."

When he said like Chasen
wanted Instagram followers,

like, that rubs me so wrong.

I said it since night one:

I want you to be
your true, authentic self

because I don't want to
have one version of you here

and go home
and have a completely

different version of you.

I don't wanna find that out
at hometowns.

I don't wanna find that out
at the end,

after I have a ring
on my finger.

I don't wanna find that out,
you know,

years down the road.

We had a good chat,
and, you know... you know,

we got to talk about some
real stuff while we're here.

I did mention you, Chasen,
a little bit.

Um...
What'd you say?

I just mentioned that I think
you're a different guy

when the cameras aren't around
and that I don't think

you're here for
the right reasons, and...

Interesting.
Yeah.

We're still gonna
bring this up,

and you brought that to her.

Yeah, I don't think--I mean...

Okay.
Is that interesting to you?

No, it's just very childish,

you know, with your demeanor...
Well, I brought it--

And your baby jokes.
Hey, you know--

What makes you think I'm not
here for the right reasons?

I wanna hear
your facts right now.

Well, we'll time out
for one second.

Tayshia's coming.
Oh.

[clears throat]

[dramatic music]

Hi.
Hey!

Tayshia.
Chasen, can I talk to you

really quickly?
Yeah, absolutely.

I'd love to clear
some things up with you.

Chasen's here
for the wrong reasons.

I called him out.
Now Chasen's thought bubble

above his head
is "Oh, [bleep]."

You good?
You seem a little defensive.

Yeah--no, I'm good.

Ed's just been attacking me,
and then he just told me

what he told you...
Mm-hmm.

And now I'm here with you.
So I wanna hear

what your thoughts are
on everything.

[sighs]
Um, basically, Ed just said

that he's observed you
using almost identical words

to des--to describe myself
as you did with Clare...

Okay, yeah.
About--just a few days ago.

And he did bring that up
to me.

He said that
you could essentially be

using this
for a career leverage.

I don't know.

I'm not the girl
to waste that on.

No, I-I'm so glad
that you're--

you're approaching me like this.

Mm-hmm.
And I am staring you

dead in the eyes
when I look at you.

That is absolutely ridiculous
to call me that,

and I just--I feel insulted,
so I'm defending myself.

Honestly,
it's--it's one of my fears,

being here right now, um...

especially with Clare
being here prior to me.

Yeah.
No, I completely understand.

Yeah.
Like, I definitely want, like,

to find someone
and--and get to know them,

and right when you came out,
you know, obviously,

you know, it was a pivot.

But I'm getting to know you
more and more.

Like--and I'm just, like,
really vibing with you,

and I feel--I hope
that you feel the same way.

Well, thank you
for talking to me.

[uneasy music]

I feel like the way
that I navigate

through these situations is,

I trust my instinct
and my gut intuition.

Actually, I'm gonna stay here.
You are?

Yeah.
Okay, I'll walk back.

Okay.
All right.

You can say "older."

No, I didn't say "older."

Okay. I'll take it.

I like--and I hid behind
the whole, like,

"Being single's great,
being s--" I'm like...

the last couple days, like...

I want to be a husband

This is the main event,
and we're obviously here

to see that lady over there.

Yeah, let's go!
This is so fun!

My time with Tayshia
is precious,

and I'm not here to mess around.

I'm here to take risks.
Hi, guys.

Hi.
How you doing?

I'm good.
How are you?

Much better now that I have
you studs next to me.

I'm excited to get to know
you guys a little bit more

and just hang out with ya.

Yes.
Have a good night.

Good.
You mind if I take you away

for a minute?
I'd love for you to.

All right.

Adios.

♪ ♪

We have to walk slower with me

because these tiles are so,
like, slippery.

[Tayshia laughs]

Think it was all fun and games

that Noah, you know,
leaped over the fence,

wrestled you, earned his way
to this group date,

but if he gets the...
I'm gonna be upset.

He's not gonna get the rose.
It's gonna be different.

Noah's a goofball,
and the guy's 25.

She's 29.

So I do not believe

that Tayshia would choose
a 25-year-old guy

who walked in the house
with a [bleep] moustache.

I think it's, like,
immature to do that.

There's a mu--there's a level
of mutual respect

across the group,
across the other eight men

that are here, you know.

Absolutely.

What'd you think
when I hopped the fence?

I thought it was--
it was very bold.

I told you from the start...

I'm gonna come here,
and I'm gonna be myself,

be open, fight for what I want,

and if that's something
you're into,

it'll work out,
if it's something you're not,

uh, then I'd rather not
waste our time.

That's--that's what I've said
from the beginning, and--

Yeah, I feel like
it's working out, don't you?

I feel like it is.
[laughs]

[romantic music]

You know, Noah...
Yes, ma'am?

There's one thing.

You don't like moustaches.

[both laugh]

How did you know I was
getting towards that?

I'm not--it's not that
I don't like it,

but I wonder what you look like
without that thing.

You know, like,
what if it'd be, like,

fun if we, like,
shaved it off or something.

Tonight?

I don't know.
There's no rules.

I'm cool with rolling
with that.

I love it.
Okay.

Let's--let's get that done.

I mean--
Un--until I shave it, though.

[laughs]

I'm super glad I invited Noah
to the afterparty.

Every time I've talked to Noah,

he's... surprised me.

Like, even if he looks

absolutely ridiculous,
he owns it.

Thanks for letting me
crash your party.

[laughs] It's been a treat.

I'll be back.

Oh, boy.

He's trouble, I'm telling you.

Can I ask a question?
I'm just being ser--

I'm not trying to be mean
to the guy.

Don't--let's not repeat this.

In the outside world,
would any woman

feel like this guy is a thr*at?

[laughs]

We've got a ton of dudes
on this date.

Noah was added to the list,

but I'm not scared or threatened

because I have a plan.

I'll go last,
I'll bring her a fresh drink,

we'll sit there,
have a nightcap,

sharing a toast,

and then relax for a second

before she has to come back
and make this decision

to give out a Group Date Rose,

and I fully expect
to receive it.

All I'm saying is,
I'm manifesting that rose...

Speak it into existence, Ben.
In this direction.

[soft sentimental music]

I know, like,
this is a unique situation

for us, like, dating again.

Like, how did you feel...

dating again and, like...
Mm-hmm.

Getting back out there?

I think I was so broken
at the time

that when someone did give me--

this sounds so sad,
but it's just, like, it's true.

When someone did
give me the attention...

Mm-hmm.
Um...

it, like, meant more to me
than it probably would have

if I was, like, now, you know?
Okay.

I think I was like
looking to fill a certain void.

I don't know. It's hard.
It is, it is, it is.

I love being with you
and, obviously,

I know it's super early,
but, um,

I enjoy every second
I get with you,

and it means a lot, like,
knowing that you have--

[laughs]

Sometimes you just
like to ramble.

[laughs]
Do I, really?

Yep. Mm-hmm.

The date is going so well
right now.

I don't want it to end.

I feel like I have major
heart eyes for Brendan.

♪ ♪

He just has such a genuine soul,

and I love that about him.

He's definitely someone
I could see myself

ending up with
at the end of this.

You know, you could, like,
you just--

shh... sometimes.
Just stop--

Just stop talking. Okay then.
Mm-hmm. [laughs]

Now, where's, uh...

Mr. Noah?

He's been gone
for a long time.

Like, an hour.
What if he got sent home?

No idea.
He's been gone for a while.

I'm not worried about it.

He's not with her;
I'm not worried about it.

I--like, I'm not worried.

I feel an incredible thing here
with Tayshia,

and I think that, you know,
coming in

later in the evening or--
or last, uh, is, like,

it's the most recent memory
she has

going into, uh, you know,
giving out a rose.

I'm just excited to pick up
where we left off.

How are ya?
I'm good.

I'm very excited.

It's just, like, I'm excited
in here and in here.

You're looking muy bonita.

No!
Yes!

Look at you!
How are you?

You better believe that
I want to talk to her first

and second and third
and fourth and fifth.

Well, I'm so happy to get
a little bit of time.

But I'll wait...
because I'm not worried.

Of course I want
to fight for you.

Because the whole goal
is Tayshia time.

That's the currency here
for myself, I think,

for everyone here,
is spending time with you.

You know, I'm gonna go in
when I do get time with her,

and then I'm gonna
be the Ben that...

she's grown to know
at this point.

Hi!
Well, hello.

How are you?
I'm good, how are you?

And I hope that I leave
a lasting impression.

Good to see you.

Because I'm trying to have

the best love story ever.

[curious music]

[footsteps]

[curious music]

Tayshia, she asked me
to cut away

a huge part of my life.

[chuckles]
Oh.

Because she asked me
to shave my moustache.

Instantly, him and I
took an ego b*at

because I thought she loved it.

I'll miss you.

I think I might look funny
without it,

but mine and her relationship
was more important

than mine and my secret
power's relationship,

really, so I...

I pray that she doesn't, uh,
send me--

send me away with a--
a bald baby face after this.

I am a Leo,

and one of those characteristics

is unwavering loyalty, and...
Mm-hmm.

Like, I wanna--
I wanna make sure

that you know that
I'm gonna be here

the whole time.
I appreciate that.

The whole time.

You mind?

I'm gonna leave this one
up to you.

Oh, don't do that.
I'd love to--

I'd love to continue talking.

I know.
Okay, well...

let me finish talking to Noah.
Sure.

We had--we did have
some unfinished business.

Thanks, Jordan.
Talk soon. Of course.

I'll talk--I'll see you soon.
Thank you.

All right, buddy.
I do apologize.

I don't know
what the hell's going on,

but it's kind of annoying,

especially considering
the fact that

Noah shouldn't have been
on this date to begin with.

Like, I really just don't have
any respect

for that dude anymore.
Like...

It's like, he has zero class.

So we either have, um...
Mm-hmm.

Like, a stubble.
A stubble.

Or a baby face.

Mm.

What up?
'Sup, Jordan?

'Sup, boys?
'Sup, man?

What's going on, bro?

So I was talking with Tayshia.

Noah was running around.
He interrupted...

Oh, [bleep].
[groans]

Here we go. Here we go.

Here we go.
Seriously?

Yeah.

It's late into the evening,

and I'm waiting
for my opportunity

to talk to Tayshia.

When you left,
did he sit down or what?

Yeah.
Oh.

I don't know what's happening

with her and Noah.

I'm nervous, but, like,

I'm doing everything I can
to be calm.

Hopefully, it's not too late.

[razor buzzing]

[laughing]

And you can't stop.

We just gotta go
through the whole thing.

Okay.

[laughs] [chuckles]

Okay, ready?

You know, I've never done
this sort of thing

for a guy before,
but it's kinda hot.

Mm-hmm.
It's really white under here.

Mm-hmm.
[chuckles]

[heartwarming music]

Okay, I did it.
Oh, my God.

This is really good.

Oh, my Gosh.

How bad?
[laughs]

Let me get an outside opinion.

Wait, actually,
you look really good.

Like, you're kinda hot.
I don't--

what was I before?
You just went up

like ten points!
What was I before?

You all right.
Wait, first off...

What?

You haven't...

you haven't...
[gasps] What?

You haven't kissed me...
Stop.

Without a moustache.
Are you kidding me?

My bad.
That's what this was

all about.
[laughs]

♪ ♪

[laughs]
Better or worse?

It's actually much better.

I like this Noah.
[laughs] You like this Noah.

I like the other one too.
This one's good.

It does feel different

kissing her
without the moustache.

She loves it.
We'll just--

that's what I'll sh**t for.

Okay.

And I was just
following through

with my instincts, my gut,

and my heart, and...

I have no regrets.

[laughs] [sighs]

All right.

I had so much fun today!

And... I'm really happy

I was able to connect
with all of you this evening.

Before you give out the rose,
do you mind if we go talk?

[sighs] Ben.

Yeah.

♪ ♪

I--the night's over.
Okay.

I mean, I'm kinda disappointed

you didn't come find me earlier,

to be honest.
Okay.

I am just a little
disappointed in Ben

'cause I was really looking
forward to talking to him,

but I don't want people
sitting back and, like,

just thinking
everything's expected.

I want someone
that's going to fight for me,

that's eager to talk to me,

and I know there are
some guys here

that feel exactly that way.

Um... but there is a rose.

And...

[suspenseful music]

Um...

♪ ♪

Noah.

[heartwarming music]

I mean, I barely recognize...
[chuckles]

you look really good
without the 'stache.

Do you guys agree?

If you're like a douchebag
and you have a moustache,

wear the moustache well.

You gotta be, like,
just actually hilarious

and actually a solid dude.

Obviously, that wasn't the case.

But honestly, today
you really fought for me...

and you really
just proved yourself,

and that's all
I've been asking for,

and so...

I'd love it
if you'd receive this rose.

Absolutely.
[chuckles]

I'm frustrated.

[tense music]

Like, he got two times
with her and a rose

'cause he jumped the fence.

So I'm really pissed with Noah,

and I'm not gonna
let this go unresolved.

Well, I have to head to bed,

and... I'll see you guys soon.

Let's do it.
Okay.

Have a good night.
Good night.

Noah got the Group Date Rose.

Noah hopped over a fence,
but, like,

the rest of us were all in there

fighting for love, so...

to be honest with you,
I wish I was in Chasen's shoes

'cause I feel like I would have
whupped his ass,

but that's just me.

Good night.

Noah absolutely took advantage

of our Group Date.

He double-dipped,
which is, uh... a sin.

Hopefully he's not
on the one-on-one tomorrow

or a group date
because that will stir

a lot of chaos in the house,
trust me.

Good night, Noah.
Good night, guys.

See ya.
Sleep well.

Thank you, you too.

[bleep] Noah!

[bleep] that guy!

He got a rose.

But you know what?

His 'stache is gone.

His momentum's gonna be gone.

I will call him out in front

of the whole house tomorrow,

man-to-man, and tell him...

"Noah from Oklahoma...

your rose
means [bleep] nothing."

It's the most
exhilarating thing

I've ever been a part of.

I never thought
this was gonna happen.

To the best woman that
I've ever met in my life.

We're both biracial,

love story developing.

I'm crushing on Tayshia,

gonna do anything

he has to do to win.

Everyone here knows it.

She will know it very soon.

on our date...
Yeah.

a natural movement.
