[Alton] So, what do you think about
our lady roommates, dude?

-Are you feeling her?
-[Steven] Yeah.

-You like her, huh?
-I like her.

[Steven] You like New Orleans, right.

-I feel like she's good.
-You like Louisiana.

-Yeah, she's very good.
-You guys seem to have

-some crazy connection also.
-[Steven] She so digs on you,

-because she went--
-[Frank] I don't know, man.

She went and sat, and here's what she did.
It's all about body language.

She went--
She crossed her legs toward him,

-which, I know that's not always a thing--
-[Alton] Yeah.

-But it's always…
-But she was, leaning into him.

Trishelle is a very sexy girl.

-She's totally into you.
-That's good, I'm fine with that.

-[Steven] You got that.
-[Alton] That girl's--

-[indistinct chatter]
-I think that girl's mad cool too.

-What do you think about Frank?
-[chuckles]

Why are y'all thinking that we're…

I don't know, Steve comes up to me
and he's like, "They're cute together."

-And I'm like, "Yeah, they're cute."
-[upbeat music playing]

[Trishelle] He's a really nice,
smart guy,

and he has lots of qualities
in a person that I would like to be with.

-[Steven] That's done.
-[Alton] She's-- Oh, yeah.

-[Steven] If you want that, it's yours.
-She is nice, dude.

-[indistinct chatter]
-That'll keep me out of trouble,

I'd like to, like, be really close,
like, with the guys, and, like,

hang out and stuff like that,
so it'll keep me out of trouble.

Well, when I first saw Steven, I was like,

"Oh, he's going
to get me in some trouble."

-And then he started talking…
-[laughs]

-…and I was like, "Maybe not."
-[both laugh]

Steven doesn't have,
like, all the qualities

that I would want in a guy.
Just he's cute. [chuckles]

[mild tempo music playing]

I've been working since I was 14.
I've never been fired from a job.

Like, I know what it's like to work--

Even if I don't like
my working environment,

I know what it is, like, to work,
and I know how to, like, get up

and go to work,
you know what I'm saying?

And like, right now,
I'm just, like, stuck.

I have no money coming
to me right now.

[Irulan] Well, you don't have
to worry about money.

I think that we're all
in a very similar situation.

-[Arissa laughs] I know.
-Not necessarily that,

you know, one has 14,
one has 22, like, whatever.

But, you know, we're all broke.
And we're in it together.

I'm feeling a gravitation towards Arissa.
I think that we have a lot in common.

Makes it very easy
to share things about yourself

when you're not the only one.

I never in my life thought
that I would ever meet anybody

who I feel like is,
like, the-- Exactly like me.

[upbeat music playing]

Like, my number one goal is,
I just really want to have a fun time

-for the next four and a half months.
-[Steven] Yeah.

I want to meet someone
and get my heart broken.

[Steven] You want to meet someone
and get your heart broken?

-[Brynn] Why?
-I don't know, I just do.

-[Steven] Why?
-[Frank] Yo, she loves that--

[Steven] Oh, because you want
to fall in love.

[Brynn] You're supposed
to break hearts, hon,

-not get your heart broken.
-[Steven] Yeah.

I break some of 'em.
I break a lot of them.

Keep doing what you're doing.

[Steven] I think if Trishelle
plays her cards right,

her and Frank will hook up.

Hey, wait, listen-- I've watched y'all.

I know that y'all have
a thing for each other.

-It is cute.
-What?

[Trishelle]
I really don't want to get involved

with one of my roommates,
but if that happens,

it's something that's out of my control.

The hormones.

Somebody in this house will hook up.

-[Steven] I honestly--
-Guarantee it. Mark my words--

[Steven] After the first day

I know that I'm not hooking up
with anybody in the house.

[Brynn] I can seduce. I'm a good tease.

[Trishelle] Didn't you say you didn't--
You wouldn't do anything?

Well, yeah,
if she was walking around naked

and she said, "Steve, come [bleep] me,"
I'd do it.

But, like, I don't-- I mean,

she's hot and everything,
and she's got a beautiful body,

but she's not--

-[Trishelle] Your type?
-I'm just not feeling--

No, I don't even have a type.

She's beautiful,
but I'm just not feeling it.

If I were single or whatever,
I'd sleep with all of them.

-Mm-hmm.
-But I was like, there's no,

I'm not really into any of them.

I'd sleep with all of them,

-'Cause they're hot.
-Yeah, you're a man.

-Yeah, 'cause they're hot.
-[Alton chuckles]

Trishelle, she was like,
"You must really like him."

Steven thinks that I'm beautiful,
but there's no chemistry.

It really pissed me off because…

I don't take rejection very well.

And it pissed her off.

[Frank] 'Cause you took away the option.

-Yeah, and…
-[Alton] What do you mean?

-What do you mean?
-Because she likes to have the option

of hooking up with everyone,
to know that she can…

-[Steven] She can if she wants.
-…if she wants.

It's like a control issue.

-[Alton] It's total power…
-So that when you're flirting

with her, that's why she likes you…

-[Alton] Come on in.
-Ooh!

[Alton] Goodbye.

Though there's bad chemistry,
there's definitely that chemistry.

-It's hot.

-Oh, my God.

-wedding album.
-[Trishelle] Please let me see.

Aw, Steven.

"We had a connection
from the moment we met."

"We spent the whole night
talking and laughing."

"I knew I was going to marry him."

[Steven] My ex-wife gave me the tools
to be happy for the rest of my life

and gave me the desire
to want to be a better person.

That's better than anything.
That's better than winning the lottery,

that's better than anything.

I don't care that he was married
and I don't care to see his

bride or whatever she is to him.

[Trishelle]
Why'd you guys get a divorce?

Because I knew
that I was going to meet you someday

and I was just like,
"There's really no reason

-for us to stay together."
-[laughs]

Help me off of this bed.

Unbelievable. I cannot believe
that Steven was actually married,

because he seems like such a player.

[mild tempo music playing]

[Trishelle] Kind of want to go take a nap.

-[Frank] So do I.
-Well, come take a nap in our room.

But see, I'll do that,
but I won't be able to fall asleep.

I guarantee it.

Like, but maybe just, like, the rest will,
like, appreciate, or something.

-[Steven yells] You want to take a nap?
-[Trishelle laughs]

[Steven] Yoink. [laughs]

Do it, do it, do it.
[laughs] I knew it. He's so stupid.

[Trishelle laughs] Oh, my God!

I think I just got my second wind.

-Good night.
-[Steven] Good night.

"Good night."

Frank has no game.

I don't know what's up with that man.
I don't know what's up with him.

-It's really…
-[Frank] Yeah, this is a really…

-Oh, a closet.
-…great place for all of your shoes

and everything.

Is this your room, or are you just getting
in bed with Trishelle?

Poor little Frank with the puppy dog eyes.

Well, I mean, taking naps with a girl,
I mean, that's, you know, flirtatious.

I mean, it can't hurt.

All right. I think they're gonna
turn this one off.

-You wanna see my friend Marty?

-That's all it is.

-Yeah, yeah. No, no sex. Just--

[Alton] Yeah. Well, who needs sex?

[Steven] Girls always make you
have sex with them.

-"They make you."
-[Alton] Oh, my God,

they, like, r*pe you.

-They put a g*n to your head and say…

-Okay, here's what I think.

Do you think
that I was thinking that coherently?

with a good-looking girl

a lot more than you value

to hurt anybody's feelings,

and I feel that Frank's already been hurt.

-[Steven] She's not attracted…
-Oh, let me just like--

I'm not trying to disagree
with you guys anymore.

I'm like, why did you guys do this, like,

not only in front of me, like,
but why did you guys, like,

I was honestly supporting
your weight on my legs. Why?

I'm really not sorry about my actions.
I'm sorry that I did it in the way I did.

I don't understand,
because you and I are, like, just friends,

like, we all just met.
And I feel like we're all entitled

-Right.

I'm trying to be honest and…

Oh, I don't know. [laughs]

It's there, I don't know.
That's how I feel.

-[Frank] I feel so much better about this.
-[Trishelle] I'm sorry. Oh, my gosh.

That's a great explanation.

-Was that not a good thing to say?
-I don't really think so.

[Frank] No, I really don't,
like, want you guys

to be hiding anything based on
my uncomfortable-ness.

-[Trishelle] I'm not because--
-[Steven] You realize, we weren't…

I just want you guys to leave,
so I can piss myself and cry.
