[Ramses] Beyond just
our connection we have...

-Like, I feel the love.
-Yeah.

You look at me, you're like, "This is it."

-For real?
-Yes!

-[Hannah] You have a good and kind heart.
-[Nick D] I've accepted you.

I know sometimes you don't think it,
but I would protect you. I will.

-[Tyler] I get to choose our kid's name?
-Nah.

-Middle name.
-No!

-Seven kids?
-[Ashley A] Not shaking on that.

[laughing]

[Garrett] You are amazing, and I think
you are absolutely perfect for me.

[Taylor] Like I've known you for years.

I feel like I said in the pods,
everything's just gonna get harder.

You're going down in history
as the swaggiest punter-kicker.

[Nick D] I appreciate that.

I'm even more swaggy
when you see me in person.

-Was I a hot commodity in the pods?
-We just talked sh*t about you.

I'm a hot commodity. I wanna see
what these beautiful women look like.

Nick!

-Oh, she's jealous! Don't be jealous.
-[laughing]

[Hannah] I'm a little concerned.

We'll see how flirtatious he is
in the real world.

♪ I know what I want... ♪

[Garrett] Your father,
if I ask him for your hand,

and he says, "I can't do it," you know.

I wouldn't blame him. He doesn't know me.

I need this in order to get to,
like, an altar in two weeks.

♪ I can't take the pressure... ♪

Did you guys ever have an argument?

You know I talk a lot,
but he talks more than me.

It's just making sure we're both heard.

-You're military.
-Yeah.

[Ramses] Were you ever really
into military men?

-[Marissa] I was.
-Yeah.

I don't regret joining the military.

-Hmm. Okay.
-I'm feeling judged.

♪ I can't take the pressure... ♪

-Do you enjoy condom sex?
-[Marissa] Yeah.

We could definitely
have condom sex, and it'd be fine.

I need sex to be enjoyable.

I'm not upset by you
trying to help a couple have kids,

but they are your kids.

This is something I should have known
before agreeing.

[Tyler] I don't want this
to be the way our story goes

or ends.

Great! You guys can hold hands down here.

-[Hannah] No. Like this?
-[Nick D] Okay.

[photographer] Awesome.

-I think my arms are longer than yours.
-[laughing]

[photographer] Let me grab it.

-I'm like this. [laughs]
-I'm pretty sure you're taller than me.

-Your eyes look pretty.
-[Hannah] Do they?

[Nick D] Yeah. You have blocks
to put under my shoes so I'm taller?

[Hannah] Confidence, babe.

[photographer] Put your hands
around her waist.

-[Nick D] She's taller than me?
-Like you're at prom.

Not on her butt, right?

[photographer] If you want to.
It's your guys' pictures.

A few more...

[camera shutter clicks]

Perfect!

-Okay, that's your guys' film.
-Cool!

[Nick D] You picked
a good day to wear the heels.

-[Hannah] I thought you were secure.
-[laughs]

So it was cool to get,
like, some cute engagement pictures.

We can look back on it, like,
"Remember we were so hot?"

[laughing]

-"Nick, remember when you looked good?"
-[laughing] Yeah!

Show the kids.

-[laughs]
-All right, I have your guys' photos.

-Here is yours.
-Thank you.

-And here's yours.
-Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

Wait. You can take this one.
I'll take that one.

-'Cause I read.
-You don't want...

I read. I want this one for my bookmark.

-'Cause it's us.
-[laughs]

You don't read. You don't need one.

We'll get it framed. Little gold frame.

No, these are great.

-Look at this.
-Let me see.

-[Hannah] I chose the best one.
-[Nick D] Look at that.

-That one's going above the mantle, right?
-Yeah.

[Nick D] Check it.

This is right above the toilet. Yep, yep.

-Because it's the most romantic, right?
-[Hannah] Mm-hmm.

The toilet's the most romantic place
in our crib.

Yeah, you know.
We're gonna be in there a lot, so...

-What's on your mind?
-Nothing.

-Nothing?
-Nothing.

Are you concerned?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

It makes me worried that we had
one conversation last night

and that got you really in your head.

[Ramses] There's things
we discussed in the pods.

And last night,
it felt like things were, like, shifted.

Like, what specifically?

You were, like, now switching

from the three-to-five
that we'd spoken about to sooner.

I was just kind of like,
"Is there anything else,

you know, that's gonna..."

I can imagine
things will change over time.

Yeah, things will change.

But, like,

the big things, you know,
like, the real important things

is, like, really what
I'm, like, really thinking about.

It's good.

It's all good.

Let's go inside.

[Ramses clears throat]

[Marissa] I'm gonna use the bathroom.

-[Ramses] Need a moment?
-[Marissa] I'm using the bathroom.

-Oh.
-[Marissa] Oh, yeah.

[exhales lightly]

All right, what are
you gonna make? [sighs]

Eggs with some feta, chili crunch.

Okay.

I forgot we had grapes in here.

[laughs] Why are you looking at me?

Because you're terrible at hiding
the fact that you're in your head.

I'm not mad.

-I'm not saying you're mad. Okay.
-I'm not mad.

[Ramses] It's a lot. I know.

[Marissa] Well, especially
the sexual stuff. It's like...

I do understand, like, your concerns,
and they're valid,

but it's also at the same time,
like, I'm clearly sick.

I have a severe vitamin D deficiency
and the PMS,

and just the fact that
I'm going back and forth from Baltimore.

I feel like sh*t today.

I don't want it to be something
where you're, like, not satisfied

because I am a sick person.

[Ramses] I'm willing to,
like, work through these things with you.

[Marissa] Yeah, I just assumed
if you're sick, like...

I wish I didn't have to explain why.

The reason that I, like,
brought it up now is just, you know,

we don't have a lot of time
before the wedding.

I'm not saying that's gonna be an issue.
I don't think it'll be.

I'll never try to put you in a place
where you feel forced to do anything.

I don't need you to, like, feel
the pressure to try to prove anything.

Before you walk down the aisle,

are you gonna be expecting
to see something?

This part of the experiment
was, like, really important for me

because it's where we, like, make sure

that we actually
do have the physical intimacy,

the affection and everything
I desire in a marriage, and so, like...

You're having doubts.

It's not so much doubts.

It's a big decision.

Like, if we get married, that's it.

It's like, "I want you."

I don't want to sit here and go
through this again with anyone else.

I just wanna make sure it's 100, you know?

Like it's... that there's no, like...

Especially something
as big as physical intimacy,

I just wanna make sure
that that's right, you know?

And it's not right.

It started in Cabo. It was great.

And then, now obviously,
you're... we're dealing with a lot.

And so, like,

sometimes you just don't wanna
be touched or you don't wanna be...

which is, again, fine.

I just wanna make sure that long-term that

it doesn't look like this.

I feel I've been
very affectionate with you.

There's been just maybe three times
where I'm like...

-"Lay off on petting me" or whatever.
-[laughing]

I call it petting 'cause
that's what it feels like at times.

It's just overstimulating.

Yeah. And I get it.
Like, that's fine, babe.

But it's really not fine
because you're saying it's not fine.

[Ramses] Not saying it's not fine.

It's, like, long-term, you know,
like, if that would be an issue for me.

-Okay. Yeah.
-[Ramses] You know what I'm saying?

I do.

I feel like I've been
affectionate with you, so...

Yeah. No, you have
been affectionate with me.

I'm not saying you haven't.

When I do give affection,
and then there's a "no" or...

Do you feel rejected when I do that?

Um, I mean, yeah, maybe a little.

But again, I wanna be respectful of you
and where you're at.

If that's not something that you want...

I don't wanna come off
as if I'm just trying to, like, have sex.

Like, I love you. I care about you,
and, like, I want you,

but I'm just, like, I...

It's a big decision.

Okay.

Can I, like... [laughs]

I'm sorry. I know, like, if you don't...

[Marissa] Yeah, it's fine.

A high percentage of men,

when their wives get cancer,
they cheat on them.

Your health becomes an issue
that I'm gonna want to go elsewhere?

Yeah, that's gonna be an issue for you.

Not even that extreme.
Like, postpartum, when you have kids.

There's periods before you have the kid,
you're not gonna wanna be affectionate,

and maybe after you have a kid.

This is probably gonna come up
multiple times in our relationship.

Is this gonna be an issue for you that...

[chuckles] That's a fair question. Yeah...

-Like, that's...
-That's a big thing. Yeah.

Hey!

-So this is my fiancée, Alex.
-Hi! How are you?

How are you?

-Good.
-[mother] Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you as well. I'm Alex.
-Hello.

-Good to meet you.
-[Alex] You as well.

So this is Alex, my fiancée.

-Beautiful lady.
-Yes!

[Alex] Thank you! Thank you.

You know we call him Drake, right?

-Yes, he told me that.
-When people say "Tim," I always go...

You know, I'm thinking of him.
They say "Tim," I'm like, "What?" Yeah.

-'Cause that's Tim.
-[Alex] Yeah.

His name wasn't supposed to be Tim,
but whatever. We're not gonna go there.

[laughs]

I really do like the idea
of the experiment,

the pods.

-And I won't just say because he's my kid.
-[chuckles]

But Drake, he's really an awesome person.

-Yeah.
-[Kim] He's a good person.

The very fact that he opened up
and was able to talk, because he's...

[Alex] He was very vulnerable.

Sometimes, to me,
Drake's vulnerabilities can come out

as almost like a separation type of thing.

Have you seen that in him?

-Yeah.
-[Kim] You have? Okay.

He definitely gets that trait from me.

Don't you feel like that?
Don't you feel like I get like that?

Yes.

[Kim] And was that hard for you
to kind of get used to?

I'll admit, yeah.

How do you handle that?

It has been a little bit challenging,

but I just give him
the time and the space that he needs.

And when he's ready to come back...

And I'll tell you,

that part of it, as far as him

separating and needing his space,

that's just him.

My husband and I have been married
coming up on 40 years,

and we are totally different people.

You can probably just tell
from sitting here

for five minutes how different we are.

But love makes it work

if you are willing to give and take.

Yeah.

Is there anything you feel like
you would have to give up

in order to be married at all?

Um, I don't really see anything
that I would really be giving up

besides my single life. [laughs]

We are very serious
when it comes to marriage,

and we want whoever Drake marries

to feel that way as well.

I don't want you to think
I am taking this lightly.

We don't believe in divorce.

I even said to Tim, or Drake...

[chuckles] ...that I understand
you're proposing to me,

but I'm not even gonna tell my father
until you ask for my hand.

Because I can't take that away from him.

And if I don't have his blessing,
I cannot go through with this.

-For us, whew! We've been through a lot.
-[Alex] Yeah.

[Kim] But no matter how hard it was

or how we processed it differently,

the ability to respect his viewpoint

and for him to respect my viewpoint
is what kept us

and keeps us together, I think.

I know your family has been through a lot.

I really honor your marriage
and your relationship.

My dad and my stepmom
have been married for 25 years.

-And I know that marriage isn't easy.
-Mm-hmm.

I just wanna make sure I have,
like, that solid partner-teammate that

really isn't gonna, you know,
fold on any type of situation.

I always can depend on them,
even if I'm really annoying him,

or vice versa,
or we're just not seeing eye-to-eye.

Like, that's still my husband.

I still respect him,
and I'm never gonna turn my back on him.

When I say, "For better for worse,"
I mean that in all aspects.

If he can be your best friend.
Do you laugh more than you don't?

-Then you're winning.
-[Alex] Yeah.

-That's a win right there.
-Same.

-[Tim] Mom and Dad, you wanna sit outside?
-[Tim Sr.] Yeah.

-Yeah, sounds nice.
-[Tim] Get some fresh air.

We'll be outside.

I think she's a nice young lady

that I think you
could spend your life with.

What I see is,
you know, a beautiful person.

-Yeah, I agree.
-[Tim Sr.] Inside and out.

You truly felt that
before you met her in person?

Yeah. We did bond
on so much of the deeper stuff.

She is my first ever fiancée for a reason,

but I don't think we're always in sync

when it comes to some
of the lighter things

and how we joke around.

You know, I'm not physically affectionate.
Do not touch me.

That's just how I am, but that's something
that she wants all the time.

But if we just got in an argument,
I'm not gonna wanna cuddle. [laughs]

I don't know exactly
what we're talking about,

but when you are in a relationship,

a marriage,

you kind of have to, like,

be open to what hurts your partner.

Yeah, I get it.

There's no one perfect.

You're never gonna find perfection.

When you talked to her in the pods

and you got down on your knee,

you were sure. You were there.

I can't say enough.

It doesn't matter
how long you've known somebody,

you're still gonna have
to go through some drama.

That's just a part of the process
of becoming one.

It's not easy to become one
with two minds.

Sho ain't. [laughs]

You agree?

[Tim Sr.] Yes.

I do feel like you're ready for marriage.

I do feel like you're ready for a family.

And if you

and Alex become a family,

you're both our family,

and you both have all of our support.

[Tim] Thank you.

I trust your instincts,

and I trust your heart,

and I trust your mind.

So tell us where to be.

Just don't be late.

[laughs]

-I like how you looked at him.
-[Tim] Yeah.

[Tyler] Yeah.

'Cause I don't think I would do this

And the first step starts
with knowing more about that dynamic.

Yeah.

I had a very close friend,
her and her wife wanted to have a baby.

And they couldn't afford a sperm donor.

I thought that was God telling me,
you know, "Help someone else."

And it felt good.

Do the kids know what you look like?

Hmm, I don't think so.

Well... [sighs]

I guess the only thing we can do is...

take it hour by hour.

So we'll try?

Yeah.

Yeah, we will give it a try.

I still don't know how I feel about it.

Yeah, I know.
That's why I said, "Just try."

I'm not asking you to accept.

If you stay here, I'll sleep out here.

Like, seriously.
And I'll give you the space that you need.

If it gets to that point where you're
like, "I know it's not gonna happen,"

I'm okay with that.

You could wake up the day of the wedding
and feel like, "I'm not doing this."

Or I could walk
down the aisle and think that.

Whatever it is.

-[woman] Garrett and Taylor.
-[Garrett] Nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you.

-[Taylor] Thanks for having us.
-[woman] Yeah.

-Get settled and we'll get started.
-[Taylor] Sure.

My dad gave me a bunch
of love letters from my grandparents.

[Michele] Oh, wow, what a treasure.

[Taylor] Yeah, a lot of them.

So the one that I picked out

from the stack of them
the day before our engagement happened

was the one that my grandpa
was asking my grandma to say "yes."

And it had all the words
that I was struggling to put together

into all the things that I wanted to say.

-My grandparents, they're no longer here.
-[Michele] Sure.

But they were able
to be part of a really special day

in a different, like, cosmic way.

And I think for, like, our wedding,

it's also a way
that they can be part of it.

Absolutely. May I see?

-[Taylor] Of course.
-[Michele] So beautiful.

This is not something you see often today.

-No, this is unusual, incredible.
-The digital world...

Garrett and I have, like, kind of
busy schedules too sometimes,

so we've been leaving letters
and hiding them so we can find it later.

Just thinking of each other.

So we were thinking of having
a letter-writing station at the wedding.

And maybe, like, what we write today
could just be like...

Like a motivator for it, maybe just above
and the letter-writing station down here.

[Taylor] Yeah.

Is there a phrase
in there that really strikes you?

I think it's...

"I don't want to leave you so speechless
that you can't say yes."

[Michele] That is a great quote.

It would be really fun
if you worked on that sentence,

and, Garrett, if you worked
on the sentence that really struck you.

[Garrett] Okay.

Hmm. How do I wanna do this?

Why am I overthinking how
to write an "A" right now? [laughs]

You're doing great, baby.

-[Garrett] Yeah?
-[Taylor] Yeah.

-[Garrett] Are you peeking?
-[Taylor] No.

I just know you're doing great.

I'm wondering if we can do
something special for, like, your parents.

Especially for your mom.

She will appreciate that thought,
at the very least.

She may not want to be part of it,
but we can at least talk to her about it.

You think she might not come?

She's struggling with it, but we
can do something that would be like...

make her feel more a part of it
and comfortable about it, you know.

[Taylor] Hmm.

I'm sure she'll love to have you
as a daughter and will fully embrace that...

-No, I know.
-...when that day comes, but...

I would be perfectly happy just
to have you say you would marry me.

you're ready to get married in two weeks?

Yeah.

Meeting your family
and having that go well

and then meeting my family
and having that go well,

getting both of their support,
that was really important for me.

I think it's nice to have family
and friends' opinions,

but I don't really care
what anyone else thinks.

My opinion is
the only opinion that matters.

No one's making the decision
for me, except myself.

-Right?
-Yeah.

So you didn't really answer my question.
Are you ready to get married in two weeks?

-Yeah. I said, "Yeah."
-Okay.

I do wanna get married.

You've made me realize
with some of your hard questions

what I do need to work on to mature
and be able to get married, right?

Because it's a big commitment,
no f*cking joke.

You've never really had
to think about anybody else, right?

Now you do.

I want you to be an active listener,
an active partner.

I don't wanna have to, like,

always have to be the first one
to start a deep conversation

or, like, initiate sex.

I think it's all about, like, initiative.

you were talking about how much I read.

You were like, "I'd love to read."
Have you read?

-I haven't had a chance to.
-Okay.

Maybe last night, instead of going
to watch the game, I could've read.

-But, you know...
-Yeah. Priorities, right?

maybe sometimes, like, a level below you.
You know what I mean?

I just wanna be treated as an equal.

I think you get treated like an equal
when you start contributing like an equal.

I think when I'm hard on you
and say mean things, like,

you feel like
I think that you're, like, below me.

You're not as mature as me,

or I think you're stupid
or dumb or whatever.

And I don't mean
to make you feel like that,

but sometimes I feel like,
at 28 years old,

you should know how to do things,
so it just frustrates me.

I'm not here to date someone.

I'm here to actually have a person
for the rest of my life, you know.

-Yeah. I'm the same way.
-Yeah.

As long as I'm being truthful to myself,

as long as I'm working
as hard as I can for you.

As long as I know the end goal,
and we have that end goal in common.

-Yeah.
-To get married.

And I'm working towards it.
That's all I can do.

Are you ready to get married in two weeks?

I think I'm mature, and I'm ready.

I wanna make sure
you're mature and ready for it.

I've definitely, like, matured,

I feel like, a good amount
since I've been with you.

-Right? Without even realizing it.
-Mm-hmm.

And I'm growing.

Behind every great man
is a greater woman, you know?

Yeah, for sure.

I can always look into your eyes
and be like,

"This is the woman I fell in love with,"
you know.

-I like that.
-Yeah.

[Marissa] I wanna talk to you
about the wedding planning.

I talked to the wedding planner today
while you were at work.

-All right.
-Let's go to the bed.

Because I have a little surprise.

-Voilà!
-Aww.

-[Marissa] Rose petals.
-[Ramses] Rose petals.

Okay, so we're gonna do boho glam.

-How does the glam come with the boho?
-The sophistication.

-Okay.
-Mother-son dance, do you wanna do that?

Yeah, that'd be cool. Um...

-Are you doing the dance with your mom?
-No.

-Is it 'cause she doesn't want to?
-No, I think 'cause I don't want to.

Oh, okay.

[exclaims] Okay, go ahead, baby.

[Marissa] She asked about our fathers.

-We were both raised by single moms.
-Mm-hmm.

Essentially, when your father passed,
and then my father decided to...

-You know, leave.
-Right.

Do you wanna honor your father?

-So...
-Like a picture?

I was thinking, like, in the entrance
where people are signing in or whatever,

they can just, like, have his photo.

Let's do that. Make sure I don't forget.

Our parents are gonna
sit next to each other.

-I think that's a good idea.
-I would love to not have an aisle.

So we're just descending
from the heavens to the altar?

-Walk in from the side?
-We could.

Here's, like, where we stand, right?
This is the little altar.

There goes me. There goes you.

We have smiles on our faces
'cause we're getting married.

You have hearts all around your head
'cause we're getting married.

-You're gonna say "yes."
-Right. [laughing]

-Okay, the point of this was...
-Okay, sorry.

I hate that separate sh*t.

We're bringing two families together,
two friend groups together.

We're bringing two lives together.

-Put it all together.
-Yeah, I like that.

-Great ideas, baby
-You only get married once.

Yes.

-But also twice.
-Okay.

-Right.
-[laughing]

I want this marriage to look different
from your previous marriage.

-No, it's definitely gonna be different.
-Yeah?

But I don't want you
to be thinking of that. [laughs]

I haven't been thinking
about your previous marriage,

but when I sit here
and look at it like this...

[laughs] ...I did think
about your previous marriage.

And so...

I definitely don't wanna do any more
wedding planning without you.

-I will say.
-Yeah.

How are you feeling? How are
you feeling now? Let's talk about that.

Um...

-Obviously, I suck on my period, so...
-[laughing]

I'm back to my normal energy level.

-You know where I stand on affection and...
-Yeah.

I think we kind of figured that out too.

-[laughing]
-We did.

We figured that out quickly.

-Yes.
-Which is good.

[Marissa] Now, you know, once a month.

No, that's fine. Yeah.

Well, yeah, it's fine.

-Of course.
-But, yeah, like...

Do you have any doubts right now
about us making it to the end

and getting married?

Um, I don't have, like,
any major doubts or anything.

I think what I have right now
is just the normal.

There's still stuff to plan.

There's still stuff to figure out.

-I have, like, those nerves.
-Yeah.

But in terms of big-picture,
like, you know, doubts

or things that I'm concerned about

that would potentially make me...

-Derail us.
-Derail us? No.

I'm glad to hear
you're not having, like, doubts.

'Cause I don't wanna seem...

I'm gonna be honest.
I don't wanna seem needy.

I'll probably need clarity throughout
until we make it.

Don't feel like you're being needy
by, like, wanting

to have some sort of clarity
about where I'm at.

Do you feel sure about us getting married?

Yeah.

-Yeah, I do feel sure.
-Okay, you do feel sure?

-Yeah.
-Okay, I just needed to clear that up.

-I'm good.
-Okay.

I see myself
at the altar with you, like, saying yes.

I'll have nerves, but once I see you,
it just kind of melts away honestly.

-I'm good. There's nothing to worry about.
-I hope so.

[laughs] Yeah. No, honestly.

-No, like, I do feel really good, so...
-Good.

-Yeah.
-Yes, I feel good too.

-Feeling pretty confident.
-Yeah.

We'll be good.

Do you wanna talk now?

You want me to sit over there?

I mean, I would rather
talk to you intently. Yes.

[sighs] Okay.

What's up?

-I have a lot to say.
-Okay.

[Tim] Some things happened

in regards to my parents
that I didn't really appreciate.

Like?

-Would you like me to tell you?
-[Alex] Yeah, for sure.

I understood you were sleepy,

but my parents drove up here
ten hours to meet you.

And as soon as the cameras cut,

you decided to go to sleep
at the first opportunity.

These are the most important people
in my life.

-And all I have left in this world.
-Mm-hmm.

[Tim] And the choice you made
in that moment was to go to sleep.

To me, it is telling, 'cause that's just
not a choice that I would ever make.

Okay.

I'm not here to tell you how to live
your life, but for me, that was not okay.

[Alex] I was exhausted.
I like to take my naps.

We talked for hours about you,

about what I would be to them as a vessel,

as someone to lean on.

If it really meant that to you,
I would have stayed up.

I had been trying to communicate
with you all day during the day.

-Can I stop you there?
-Sure.

You say you were trying to contact me.

I talked to you three times yesterday.
Then at five o'clock you texted me...

-But you were asleep for most of the day...
-I was asleep for an hour.

-We did not text much yesterday.
-[Alex] From five to six.

[Tim] You weren't very responsive.

No, no, no, no, hold on.
I don't appreciate that, because...

-Would you like me to tell my side?
-[Alex] That's not true.

Can I tell my truth
and then you speak yours?

[laughs] Go ahead.

Is that a possibility?

-Absolutely.
-[Tim] All right.

So I felt like I was not getting
responsiveness out of you yesterday.

The only other conversation we had
was when we were gonna get to the house

and what was up with your car.

I just said,
"Congratulations, you got your car back."

-"Keep an eye out for it."
-Right.

I feel like even
the response to that was kind of...

-When I said, "It's fine"?
-[Tim] Yeah.

I was just saying "Keep an eye out
for your tires on your car." That's all.

-Yeah. I didn't respond to that.
-There's nothing wrong with it, but...

The point is that's the only conversation
we had that day.

-Okay. You're working.
-[Tim] At that point...

Do you want me to finish?

I'm so confused.

-What's wrong with that?
-I'm trying to explain. Trying to explain.

-Would you rather explain or...
-Go for it.

[Tim] All right.
By the time you called me,

you were ready to talk to me on your time.

And at that point, I feel like
if I haven't been talking to you all day,

and now I don't feel like talking,

you don't get to dictate
that now we talk on the phone.

Okay. When I went to work yesterday,
it's a long day.

I'm interacting with people all day.

I called you, and I let you know what
was going on in the middle of the day.

Then I even texted you
when my car was back.

You're like, "Make sure your car is okay."
I said, "It's fine."

You're like, "Yeah, well,
just make sure your tires are good."

I didn't respond. Okay, I see it.

I read it, and I received it.

If you don't communicate that,

"Hey, this really bothers me
that you didn't respond,"

how am I supposed to know?

Then, when you called me,

I was asleep
because I had been running around all day.

So I took a nap.

And that's when I called you immediately.

You said, "I don't wanna talk
on the phone."

Okay.

"Well, maybe if I expressed to him
that I do like talking on the phone,

maybe it will change."

No, it didn't,
and it wasn't me trying to dictate.

I was just trying to explain to you,

"Hey, this is what I like."
Just like you could have explained,

"Hey, I didn't like that you fell asleep
while my parents were there."

I get tired really easily. I don't know.
I'm not trying to make an excuse.

With your parents,
I just talked to them for four hours.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal
to go to sleep for an hour.

I really didn't.

But if it meant something,
you have to just say that.

You never said anything.
I cannot read your mind.

You want me to be this person
that is your wife

that does everything by the book,
on your book.

But I can't be doing everything
by the book unless you tell me.

You have to communicate that.

I am ready to listen.
I'm trying to understand you.

Just like yesterday, when we were
on the phone, and I called you again,

and you were like, "I don't wanna
talk to you because you don't listen."

I felt very dismissed.
I felt very closed off from you.

I was hurt. I started crying
because I don't understand what it is.

You have to admit, it is not the same
from when we were in the pods.

And I'm not saying it's all on you,
and I'm not saying it's all on me.

It's both of us.
These are such little things.

I am trying my hardest.

[Tim] After reflecting on what
I really want out of life and a wife,

I have to be honest with myself

that the answer
between you and I, for me, is no.

Okay.

All right.

If your mind is made up,

I have many words
to say on what you're saying.

-I'm here to listen.
-[Alex] Huh?

I'm here to listen if you would like to,
but I said...

Are you listening just to hear,

or are you listening
as an open mind to move forward?

I'm listening to understand.
I am always listening to understand.

-I mean, is your mind made up?
-That is what I said.

-Yes.
-[Alex] Okay. All right, cool.

I told you I was gonna take
this experiment to the very end.

And I did not take you meeting my father
and getting him that emotional so lightly.

How dare you do that and then
just throw it away after two days.

It's literally been two days
since you did that.

Now you're ready to throw it away
because I fell asleep?

And because I didn't text you?

Honestly, yes, I took that
for your father very seriously.

Nothing has happened
to actually do the work to give it a shot.

I feel like
you don't even see the things that I am...

-But have you tried? With what?
-[Tim] Absolutely.

-Would you like me to answer?
-Yeah, for sure.

-Am I gonna get to speak?
-Absolutely.

All right, so you want me
to cuddle with you more.

I intentionally rolled over
and tried to hold you

in that tiny-a*s bed.

And upon asking you,
you didn't even notice.

-'Cause I was sleeping.
-[Tim] What do you want from me?

I don't think you realize
how much work I put in to do that.

-To cuddle?
-No. For your family.

I woke up at eight in the morning

and went to the grocery store
and had to hunt down a bunch of stuff,

season meat, figure out the grill.

That was work.

And after that,
I came back and did the dishes.

If you sat here and grilled a whole meal
for my whole family,

and I come back to dishes in the sink,
I'm not gonna ask you to do the dishes.

I'm probably just gonna do them.

Maybe I didn't communicate that, sure.

However, if I have to communicate that,
I am not the one for you.

Do not try to make it seem
like I'm not here doing my part at all.

-We're not gonna spin it like that.
-Nobody's spinning anything.

I've been given such a negative response,

a temper tantrum sometimes,
like, an attitude.

I just don't understand it.

If it's about the dishes,
if it's about me going to sleep,

if it's about a text,
all of that, it's a slap in the face.

-Great. I'm glad you feel that way.
-[scoffs]

There's a lot I could respond to,
but there is no scenario

that I see myself standing there

and saying yes
to making you my wife forever.

And with that in mind,

and I'm glad we can at least agree,
I don't ever wanna see you again.

This was nice.
I wish you the best of luck.

-Did you say anything back?
-No, I just liked it.

but I met someone. I'm engaged."

And basically, "I don't think we should
continue sending messages."

"And I hope you have a great life.

Not just like, "I liked it and left it."

I just wanna be very clear.

[Garrett] Yeah, I didn't just...
no, I just said I wrote a response.

[Taylor] That's not
what you told me an hour ago.

[Garrett] We didn't get into specific,
"What was the response?"

But, yes, that is what I did.

-[Tyler] I think we should let them...
-Yeah.

I think that y'all should,
you know, have your space.

I would love a moment.

-No, 100%.
-Yeah.

No, no, no, I want my own, like...

like, moment.

-Yeah.
-[Tyler] Ashley.

-Ten, 20.
-Yeah, I'll go with her.

Something, I'm saying.

This is, like, changing.

-It's just, like, crazy.
-[Ashley A] Hey.

-[Taylor] What the f*ck?
-Yeah.

-It's weird.
-No, yeah.

-[Taylor] It's really weird.
-Yeah.

God damn it.

[Taylor, voice breaks] He's supposed
to meet my parents tomorrow.

[Ashley A] Yeah.

-[Taylor] Why'd you tell me like that?
-[Ashley A] Yeah.

Omitting anything is a lot.

We don't have any time
to play these games.

I feel like he was around Tyler,
forgot where the f*ck he was

and started telling all of the truth.

[Taylor] I just don't think
that this is right.

[pop music playing]

Weird hearing your voice. [laughs]

We both looked at each other,
like, "I know that person."

I literally was like, "Is that Bohdan?"

[Ramses] Y'all should have
a conversation now.

[laughs] Yeah, we can have that.

-What?
-Yeah, go ahead.

-Baby! Okay, yeah.
-[Ramses] No, no! Go ahead. Go ahead.

Okay, so was I what you expected
to look like when we talked?

-No!
-No? What were you expecting?

Okay, I always expected you
to be kind of, like, short and tiny.

-Oh, my God! Really?
-Yeah, I did.

-So when I saw you...
-A short, tiny person. Okay.

-Short, tiny, person. I don't know why.
-I'm glad I over-delivered there. [laughs]

I don't know why.
Am I what you thought I looked like?

[laughs] I guess
I expected you to be pretty.

[laughing]

-Yeah. That's a careful conversation now.
-No, no, no.

-[Bohdan] Because Rams...
-You can call me pretty.

-Rams will allow it.
-Okay, you're pretty.

Yeah, no, it is kind of strange,
'cause we dated almost till the end.

-Yeah, till the end.
-It was back and forth.

So it'd be like, one day, "It's Rams."
The next day, I'd be like, "It's Bohdan."

But I needed someone
more chiller, I think.

-'Cause we're both so, like, hyper people.
-Yeah, yeah.

Rams is like, "We're so different."

-I was like, "Okay, Rams."
-No, no, we have similarities!

You guys are so much the same!

But in terms of our personalities,
we're, like, very different.

Yeah, I was so nervous too
for, like, the breakup talk.

I know. When I walked in, I was like,
"What's up? How are you?"

-Her energy was probably different?
-Yeah, you could hear it!

-[Bohdan laughs] "Here we go!"
-Like, "Oh, f*ck."

I think I looked at the camera,
I was like, "All right." [laughs]

Yeah, you know what's happening.

[Marissa] Seeing Bohdan,
it just feels like he's a friend.

No doubts about
my relationship with Ramses.

I made the right decision.

Seeing Bohdan really confirms that,
if anything.

[laughs]

-To the boys!
-I'm here for the boys.

One time for the boys!

Nick's cute.
I told her. He's much cuter than...

-No, he is much cuter.
-[Katie] Yeah.

I feel like that sounds bad,
but I just said it, so...

[laughing]

-[Ashley A] How are you?
-We're good.

Like, this is the thing. I'm self-aware
enough to know my own flaws, right?

I think with him, sometimes
I'm overcritical, and I'm hard on him

because I'm so overcritical
and hard on myself.

-I'm working on that.
-He has things to work on.

-Yeah.
-We all know Nicky D.

Like, Nicky D has things to work on,
but I want him to see the fun Hannah too.

Yeah.

He's great to me.
And I love Nick. He's perfect for me.

But I think I could be
the best thing in the world for Nick

just because there's so many things that...

-You could show him?
-Yes!

Remember when in the airport,
you were like,

"I want you to try new cuisines.
I want you to try this, try that."

"You're, like, you're used to sticking
to the same things."

I was like, "Wow. Go, Hannah."

'Cause you could really
broaden his horizon.

I am! That's the thing.
He just hasn't had the opportunity to.

I think sexually too.

I think when he's had sex with partners,
he told me, like, with past partners...

It's just like that woman, right?
Where, like, you get off,

and you probably don't even think
to ask if she had hers.

Right? That's the thing,
is, like, we have to get there.

And the way we get there,
like, it doesn't come natural.

If we have to work for it,
we work for it, right?

When I've been communicative
for the past two weeks about what I need...

I told him what I need sexually.
If it turns me on and you don't do it,

you continue the same thing
that gets you off?

-Then it's frustrating.
-Yeah, yeah.

Because I wanna pleasure you...

-Like, "I gotta grab a toy."
-He is very jealous of my vibrator.

I haven't had sex with a lot of people.

But the people I've had sex with,
we've been very sexually explorative.

Nick's not like that, right?

And it's almost like
it's an 18-year-old sexualness.

Like, things gross him out.

Eating p*ssy is just,
like, not what he thinks about.

It's like, "Okay, well,
like, you need to realize

a woman needs pleasure
as much as the man."

Abso-f*cking-lutely.

[Hannah] He doesn't like to eat p*ssy. Um...

-What?
-Yes.

And to fix sex that maybe isn't the best,
you communicate.

You have to be very careful
when you communicate sexual problems,

because for a man, it can be humiliating.
It could make them feel bad or pressure.

-Ego.
-Ego. Yeah, I don't wanna hit his ego.

So you have to be very careful
of the way you approach it.

But, like, he's learning.
That's the thing.

It's just like with Nick...
I really truly love that man.

-Aww.
-Like, I really do.

That's good to hear.

Sometimes I get frustrated with him
just because he doesn't...

He's not at the same level
as I am at understanding things.

And he wants to get there.
He just never had the chance to get there.

[Katie] He's in the flesh.

[Nick D] In the flesh.

-[Hannah] Think he's having a good time?
-Let's go sit over there.

[laughing]

-[Monica] Let them have a moment.
-Katie looks like she's lighting up.

Are you really my friend, Katie?

[laughing]

She goes, "Nick's really attractive."

I said, "Katie, you're supposed to be
my friend. You don't say that." [laughs]

She said that to me tonight too.
She was like, "Nick's really attractive."

-She said that he's more attractive...
-Should I k*ll her? [laughs]

...than her Instagram.
No, we can k*ll her, but we love her.

-[Hannah] I did love her.
-[laughing]

You were the guy
that was very smooth, charismatic,

the football player,
like, the athlete, right?

That is what I date in the real world.

And not to stereotype you and I apologize,
'cause this is 100% stereotyping.

I'm super chill.
Tell me whatever you want.

It was like, "This is the guy
you would date in the real world,

and this is why you're 35 and single."

I didn't care about your age.
You didn't care about my age.

We have a lot of similarities.

-[Katie] Yeah.
-I was really feeling you.

You can't help when you were born.
I can't help when I was born.

Um, but...

So you don't care about age?

[Katie] No, but you
have to understand, like,

for the past, like,


-I have dated the same guy...
-It's been that long?

-[laughs] Damn, girl.
-[Katie] Over and over again.

Can't you date, like, someone else?

[laughing]

No, but I mean, like, the same type.

So why can't you accept
that that's your type,

and you just haven't met the right guy?

That's a great question.

-If that's your type, that's your type.
-[Katie] Yeah.

You can't hold that
against the next person.

Honestly, I was attracted
to you from day one.

I was like,
"Damn, Katie's always on my mind."

I know you gave me goose bumps.

You gave me goose bumps.

[Katie] In the real world,
you see all these people.

"Oh, hey, love is maybe not blind."

You were my number one
for three days for a reason, right? Like...

Same here.

I can literally look into, like, your eyes
and tell you're a beautiful soul.

-Like, you're a beautiful person.
-Thank you.

Like, you're super ambitious.

You're gonna make someone happy
as f*ck someday.

You could, like,
honestly make me cry over that. Thank you.

I know you mean it. I know you mean it.

I mean it, right?

I'm super important on body language

and impressions and stuff like that.

Not in the "Looking at your IG."
'Cause your IG is beautiful, by the way.

-Thank you.
-But you're super...

You're dope as f*ck.

-Right? Like...
-[laughing]

-I was feeling you. I'm not gonna lie.
-Yeah.

-But you were the one that dropped me.
-I dropped you.

Why is that?

There is nothing I want you to take
personal from what I'm about to say,

but when it comes to, like, maturity,
I didn't think you were quite there.

I thought we got to a good point,
and then at the end, it was, like,

"My mom's friends f*ck with me.
Like, older women really f*ck with me."

I'm like, "Damn.
He didn't hear a word I just said."

-Yeah.
-And beyond that was the objectifying.

Like that date you were like,
"I just know you're sexy."

"I know you're this. You're that."

-I'm sarcastic. I like to joke around.
-[Katie] Yeah.

If you said something to me,
I'm like, "Damn, that's sexy."

I don't mean it in that way.
You didn't see a future in me.

That's totally fine.

But just know that, like,
I really liked talking to you.

-I think you lead with charm and charisma...
-Yeah.

-...too hard.
-Okay.

I think you're such, like,
a beautiful and a deep person.

-Yeah.
-I would challenge you to lead with that.

Okay.

I remember talking about your family,
and they just sounded amazing.

I know you are this person
that's filled with values.

I think you're this person
that's filled with a whole heart.

Lead with that, right?

Like, don't lead with like,
"I know you're so sexy."

I think that's a defense mechanism,

which is maybe
coming from a place of insecurity.

But I'm here to tell you,
like, you are the whole package.

You're fantastic.

And I love and I'm proud
of the person that you are.

And I'm proud of the growth
that you've already experienced,

'cause you're in a position
where you have a fiancée.

You guys are growing together.
You're also growing as a person.

That's the most beautiful part
about what we're experiencing.

Because I got to experience that
as a single person

and moving on until whatever is next.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I'm happy where I'm at.

I've learned to mature
and be socially aware

and, like, be aware of the words I say.

I've learned a lot
to grow as a man and mature.

I think the world of you.

I tell Hannah all the time,
"I can't wait to bro out with Nicky D."

[laughs] Just invite me
to a Ravens game, please.

Okay, we can do that.

[laughs]

["Going Down" by Black Red Gold playing]

♪ Down on the ground ♪

♪ Don't take me down to the... ♪

[laughing]

[vocalizing]

Now I feel you're like very angry at me.

I'm livid.

You lied again.

I didn't lie.

You said, "I just liked the message,
and I ignored it."

Yeah.

And when people are in front of us,

you're saying,
"Well, no, I responded to it."

I don't remember what I said.
It was more about, "This thing happened."

We didn't revisit, like,
"What exactly did you say?"

No, we did. We were outside,
and I said, "You liked it."

"I think that's weird that you
just liked it and you left ambiguity."

And then you didn't respond,
saying, like, shutting it down.

I don't wanna have to
go through your phone, Garrett.

I didn't pause to think,
"Let me tell you, like..."

-Exactly what happened?
-Word for word.

Well, the response. Yeah, I didn't...

-No, I did not.
-The whole thing is the response.

You said you just liked it.

The point was, like, for me to tell you,
"Hey, this person said this."

I will get past
you not fully thinking about this,

but then the fact
that your story completely changed

in front of other people,

how is that not upsetting?

You're saying there's a difference between
liking and actually responding with words.

I didn't think
there was a difference there.

and I'm sorry,
and I missed that detail. I apologize.

Those are facts. Those are not details.
I wanna be very f*cking clear.

-Same thing. Okay.
-Those are facts versus details.

Liking something passively
is very different than being like,

I am actively responding to something
that you know is significant to me.

-There's not a difference.
-Is there a difference?

-No, there's not.
-How is there not? There's literally...

The details are the facts
of the situation.

I guess we have a difference between,
like, what facts and details are,

which, like, f*cking sucks.

-This is a semantics thing. The point is...
-To you.

-To you.
-Okay.

The point is I should have told you this.

I should have told you
the facts of the situation.

Yeah.

I am so, so, so sorry.

[Taylor, voice breaks] You could
have done this an hour ago!

[Garrett] I should have,
and I should have.

I should have told you this morning.

I made a huge mistake.

It eats me alive
that you feel this way right now.

You're supposed
to meet my family tomorrow.

I told you how I need to be 200%
for you to meet my family,

but now I'm not 200%.

I f*cked up, and I'm very, very sorry.

You said you had
to be 200% to see your father.

If you do what you probably
really feel like you wanna do and say,

"We're not going tomorrow."

[Taylor] If we don't go see my parents
tomorrow, we're not doing any of this.

[Garrett] I know that.

It's just too many
red flags, like, honestly.

It's just...

It's just too much
in, like, too little time.

Are you talking about the wedding now?

You can do whatever you wanna do.
That'll always be true.

Am I gonna f*cking be
absolutely crushed? Of course.

I'll be miserable,
but I'll understand that.

It's just... it's just really weird.
It doesn't really make sense to me.

I get what you're saying. I get that.

I'm the f*cking problem.

I know that.

I'm still the person that you knew I was
before this happened.

It doesn't change who I am.

Doesn't change all things we've
been through, how I feel about you.

And I've shown you
all the ins and outs of me.

And it is who I am, okay?

This thing does not define me.

I'm pissed.

Don't not tell me things.

I tell you everything.

And you know that's hard for me.

I know you're sorry.

I'm just like incredibly exhausted.

And confused.

[Garrett sniffles]

I'd like to go home.
